Chapter 19: An Episode from Far Away
Chapter 19: An Episode from Far Away
The gloomy sky enveloped the entire Sennuma District, black as the ordinary ground, but it contained deadly murderous intentions; Even the locals who live in the Sennuma District have a hard time distinguishing between flat land and deadly swamps, and even agile witchers who want to go deep into the depths of the Sennuma District need to hire locals as guides; Of course, this price is prohibitive for the average person - after all, there are no factories or companies in the entire Chinuma Ward, and even now it still maintains the form of a village, and the people of Chinuma City rely on this job as a guide who risks their lives for their livelihood
Carrying a salute and equipment far greater than a person's height, Tate was like a moving tower; And at the moment he was holding a towel and constantly wiping his sweaty skin - not because of fatigue, even if these salutes and equipment were several times more would not have any effect on him, the reason why he sweated was caused by the airtight outdoor equipment on his body and the humidity and stuffiness of the Sennuma District itself.
"It's damn temperature, I miss Shak's weather so much" Feribel wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hand was about to pull the collar; However, the moment his hand was on his collar was interrupted by Jacob's words coming from behind: "If you don't want to be bitten by the poisonous insects here, it's better not to touch your collar."
The most dangerous thing in the Thousand Swamps is not the ubiquitous swamps, but the fugitives that roam among them and the poisonous insects that will appear at any time to give a fatal blow; Compared with the wandering fugitives, there is no doubt that these poisonous insects will bring more trouble to Jacob and his party - Jacob flashed his skills and flew a hot and poisonous bloodfly swatter that flew in front of him to the other side, looking at the bloodfly that crashed into the swamp on the side and was slowly devoured by the swamp, Jacob looked at the surrounding environment, and shouted to the guide who walked in front: "Foucault, it's okay to get here, let's rest"
Hearing Jacob's words, Feribey was the first to do it under a dead tree stump, stretched out his hand and kept fanning the wind, hoping to be cooler - Felibe, who had stayed in Shak all year round, had long been accustomed to the spring-like climate of Shaknasi, and at this moment, the hot and humid climate of the Thousand Marshes District, with the poisonous insects that invaded from time to time, was simply a torment for him; Reaching out again to swatt a flying bloodfly, Feribey couldn't help but sigh, regretting the bet he had made with Jacob; Of course, what he hated the most was definitely Ye Qi, the guy who made him lose miserably
When several more bloodflies appeared, Feribel had to stand up and began to help Jacob and Tate set up camp, and lit insect repellent incense in the first place—witchers who have been walking all year round have their own way of dealing with all kinds of poisonous insects; However, most of the time, some extremely convenient insect repellent incense will be purchased in the Witcher Chapters in each region to use; Although it is impossible to repel some discolored poisonous insects, it is very good for dealing with poisonous insects such as bloodflies.
The smoke of insect repellent incense soon enveloped the entire camp, and the poisonous insects such as blood flies that had gathered quickly dispersed; After adding a piece of insect repellent incense to the dish that lit the insect repellent incense again, and confirming that it was enough to support the next trip, Felibe finally took off the veil hat that covered his face and head, and let out a long breath: "Jacob, how long do we have to go?" ”
"It will take about five days" Jacob, who took off his veil hat, also let out a sigh, and after carefully comparing the places he remembered in his mind, he drew a simple map on the ground, pointed to the two crossed places on it and said: "Our current location is probably here, and the destination is here; Need to cross a very dense swampy area"
"Uh" Looking at the simple map drawn by Jacob, Felibel immediately covered his forehead and groaned: "No wonder you need to hire a guide, it turns out that you are going to the abyss to breathe; Damn, why should I promise to bet with you, I'm the number one idiot in the sky......"
Obviously, Feribey also knew the place where Jacob was going, and it was not difficult to see from his current painful appearance that he was disgusted with that place - the moaning Feribel suddenly noticed the surprised gaze around him, and when he saw the strange gaze of the guide Foucault and his companion Tate, he immediately jumped up screaming like a cat with his tail on it: "I'm just sighing about life with a straw, what do you mean?" Do you think I'm scared? ”,
"No...... No ......," the honest guide immediately shook his head and stammered; And Tate rolled his eyes angrily - he hated Feribe, who was inferior to him in strength and never stopped talking along the way; If he hadn't joined the expedition and had made three chapters of the covenant with Jacob, he would have raised his fist to greet this guy whom he hated so much; Therefore, when he saw the angry other party waiting for him, Tate mocked mercilessly: "Of course not, I'm just very surprised that a weak and mouthy guy like you who has been staying in Shak can know the breath of the abyss."
"Who do you say is the weak, talkative guy?" Ferry bean immediately shouted at a loud voice; In the face of the imposing Felibe, Tate became more and more disdainful: "Whoever agreed meant that he originally thought that he would come to explore the ruins with Jacob and Yedki, but I didn't expect it to be like you......"
syllable
A rapid side kick hit the rocky arm, and Feribey stared at Tate, who was blocking his attack, and squinted, "Don't mention that kid's name to me, will it make me very angry?" ”
"Really?" Tate, who raised his right arm, twisted his neck, and immediately with a crisp sound of muscle friction, he grinned, "I'm very good at fighting fires, do you want to try?" ”
"I can't ask for it"
……
"Mr. Jacob, they ......" Guide Foucault looked at the two of them who were like fire, and immediately looked at Jacob, his hired man who was also a benefactor, hoping that this powerful gentleman would stop his two companions - looking at the anxious Foucault, Jacob waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they just have too much energy, don't pay attention to them, let's just continue to rest!"
Hearing Jacob's words, Foucault looked at the two people on the opposite side in embarrassment, and then looked at Jacob who was leisurely closing his eyes and recuperating, and finally chose to sit next to Jacob very wisely, closing his eyes and ignoring the two who were about to fight
