Chapter 638: I don't know whether to live or die
Every step in the dark must be done with caution. It's okay to step on the swamp mud, and if you get your shoes and pants wet in the water, you have to reduce the speed by at least 30%.
Just as Ma Shuo maintained this kind of caution, he ran forward for a hundred and ten meters in a few breaths.
Suddenly, two crocodiles tumbled out of the water and rushed to the water where he wanted to land.
Ma Shuo was slightly stunned when he saw this, because he had the ability to breathe beasts, so he was not afraid of any creatures in nature at all.
Just when he was stunned for a moment, two crocodiles had already dived into the water in an instant, pushing a turtle the size of a millstone out of the water in an instant.
With a sharp turn under his feet, the whole person flashed three or four meters to the left front, landing on a soft ground covered with dry grass, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
A minute later, two giant crocodiles, more than four meters long, slowly swam towards the depths of the swamp. Ma Shuo stood leisurely on the back of the larger crocodile, his eyes revealing indescribable comfort and relaxation.
If it weren't for all this time, the Black Iron armor would almost never leave his body. Maybe he couldn't have done it at all, and in less than two years he could walk through the swamp.
And more importantly, walking through the swamp is not about treading water. Rather, it is safe to step on the quagmire that for ordinary people, every step is almost certain to death.
People who are not fluid enough to move their legs and feet are the extreme fear of waiting for death in torment. But after a long period of training, this is the best route for him.
The place where you died is where I was born, and this advantage can be called unique.
Now that the method has been verified, and with his physical strength, there is no problem at all. Then the remaining section of less than a kilometer, just let the crocodile take him forward.
As for the tortoise that was eaten, the law of survival in nature is like this, the strong prey on the weak and reproduce from generation to generation. After all living things die, they decay again and turn into the most basic nutrients, forming a perfect circulatory system.
In the middle of the way, I saw no less than ten large and small crocodiles, and now that he was not controlled by the lost, these big guys had no offensive intentions against him.
After more than a minute of moving forward, faintly under the starlight, a giant silhouette about four meters high with few corners and few edges slowly unveiled to Ma Shuo.
"Flea nests?"
Looking at the crooked three big characters on the stone tablet, Ma Shuo couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Old flea, old man Liu, you." Aren't you afraid that someone will touch here?"
With that, he tapped the crocodile's back with his feet, took two steps in succession to borrow strength from the mud, and landed steadily beside the stone monument.
Unleashed his spiritual power and ordered the two crocodiles to wait in place, and searched around by the light of the stars.
Behind the stele is a bottomless cave. In the entrance of the cave, which is about two meters high, there is still a faint cool breeze blowing in the face.
Ma Shuo immediately shook his nose and sniffed, and after a moment of reflection, he muttered: "Rust, metal, woodwork." There is also the smell of old man Liu, no one has been here for at least a year. ”
After saying that, he immediately took out the Night Pearl and stepped in, following the smell to the cave.
Along the way, relying on the smell identification, I easily dodged several mortal traps, and after entering a cave with an area of hundreds of square meters, it was officially determined that this was the end of the "flea nest".
There are only four wooden boxes in the entire space, and all the smells are diffused from here.
Squatting down in front of the first box, observing the rusty lock by the light of the night pearl, Ma Shuo couldn't help but show a strange look on his face: "Ordinary padlocks?
"Click!" casually hooked the lock with the wire and immediately popped it open, and Ma Shuo had to admit that it was indeed as simple as he thought.
But when he opened the box and saw the things inside, Ma Shuo was completely stunned.
Yueying double-edged?
Ordinary wooden box, rusty padlock, there is such a treasure inside!
Taking out one of them and holding it in his hand, Ma Shuo immediately saw that on both sides of the blade, the densely engraved patterns were all golden inscriptions.
"Profit, solid, broken, tough. ”
The four gold inscriptions were repeated from head to point, until the sharp cone at the end of the handle almost completely covered the surface of the weapon.
Two weapons here, if known to the bandits outside?
This thought flashed through Ma Shuo's mind instantly, and he immediately instinctively glanced back. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately raised his knife and walked to the other three wooden boxes, and saw that all the boxes only used ordinary padlocks, so he did not hesitate to cut off all three locks.
Two chests were full of jewels and gold, while the third chest contained a pair of gloves and a letter.
Stroking the mottled mold on the surface of the letter, Ma Shuo, whose sense of smell has become particularly sensitive, suddenly sneezed three or four times in a row.
After reading the content as fast as he could, Ma Shuo couldn't help grinning.
The black glove, named "Shadowless", is the best of the best weapons in the world. No matter what you touch, you won't leave fingerprints or smells.
This is a thief's top treasure!
Ten minutes later, dragging a box of jewelry and jade, with the pair of "shadowless" gloves hanging from his waist, Ma Shuo walked out of the cave again.
Laboriously carrying the jewelry box onto the crocodile's back, he ordered the two crocodiles to return the way they came.
The gold-eating ant's keen perception ability was too terrifying, especially in this relatively complex environment now, he didn't dare to summon the gloves to enhance his strength at all. Luckily, there were two crocodiles to help carry it, which made everything easier.
It's just that halfway through this slow walk, he suddenly smelled the smell of blood coming from in front of him, which made Ma Shuo frown suddenly. While immediately ordering the crocodile to continue moving, the whole person instantly rushed forward.
As the smell of blood grew stronger, Ma Shuo had already seen the situation on the shore of the swamp.
I saw seven or eight corpses lying next to the stroller, and the remaining five people were hiding more than ten meters away, slumped on the ground as if they were stupid.
When they saw Ma Shuo's arrival, they immediately cried and shouted for their mother's non-stop kowtow.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency, spare your life, Your Excellency. ”
"Woo woo, yes, they wanted to poison the child, yes, and then snatch everything. ”
"Please let us go, we, no matter how we persuade them, they won't listen, and as a result, the result is, woo woo!"
Poisoning a child?
Ma Shuo frowned when he heard this, and looked at the pile of corpses next to the stroller again, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Get up. He whispered to the five lucky ones to get up, and he quickly pushed the stroller out of the pile of corpses, and then looked at the trembling five and ordered, "What are you going to do in the future?"
"We. The five of them were stunned when they heard this, when they were scared half to death just now, where did they have time to think about the future?
"Bang!
The two crocodiles also slowly climbed ashore at this time, and at the moment when the five of them were about to flee in panic, Ma Shuo immediately proposed: "This is a box of jewels promised to you, continue to stay here or choose to leave, you can decide for yourself." ”
