"The Misty Swamp is shrouded in fog all day long, and the fog only lifts when the midday sun is at its strongest. By the time the sun goes down, the fog will return. ”

On the periphery of the swamp, Nick introduced the situation of the Misty Swamp to Wang Zheng and others: "The terrain inside the swamp is complex, and there are bottomless mires everywhere, as well as many bizarre visions and murderous and bloodthirsty beasts, which are very dangerous. It was already dusk, and the inside of the swamp had been filled with mist. To be on the safe side, we'd better rest for the night and go in again tomorrow at noon. ”

Wang Zheng is not a person who does not listen to opinions.

Nick has a point, and he is a land snake who has been in Sin City and Chaos Wasteland for many years, so Wang Zheng accepted Nick's suggestion.

They camped at the edge of the swamp for a night's rest, and did not leave the next morning, until noon, when the sun was at its strongest, when they officially entered the swamp.

On the edge of the swamp, it looks like an ordinary meadow in the wasteland, full of gravel, weeds and thorns, and only a layer of mist floating in the air that does not affect the view.

Nick took a long stick and led the way in front, and as he went, he kept stabbing the ground with the stick, and said:

"Although I have never been to the Misty Swamp myself, I have heard from many adventurers that it is said that the Misty Swamp has many natural traps, and what looks like ordinary grass is actually a bottomless quagmire. If you accidentally step on it, it will pop and sink to the bottom......"

"How long do you have to go so carefully?"

Shieldwarrior Helivell impatiently crossed Nick, striding forward nonchalantly, and said confidently, "I've also had swamp adventures, and it's nothing at all. With my reaction......"

Poof!

Heliwell stepped on a flat "grass" and sank down, and in the blink of an eye, he was no longer in sight.

“……”

Nick pursed his lips, looked back at Wang Zheng and the others, and said solemnly: "This is what I said, the natural trap unique to the Misty Swamp. The Misty Swamp is very different from a normal swamp. The quagmire of an ordinary swamp, when a person sinks, does not sink so quickly. The short ones can struggle for a few breaths, and the long ones can hold out until help arrives. But the misty swamp ......

"That's how quickly people sink up. It's like a quagmire, there is an invisible palm waiting there, just waiting for people to step on it, grabbing people's feet and necks, and pulling people down with all their might. Therefore, no matter how fast the person reacts, if he is too careless, he will sink to the bottom in an instant, and he will not have time to make any response. ”

There was a personal demonstration by Hellywell, and Wang Zheng and the others nodded in agreement with Nick's explanation.

At this time, at the edge of the quagmire, a string of mud bubbles bubbled. Then he saw Helivel crawling out covered in black mud and embarrassed.

Nick duly explained: "It seems that this quagmire is not too deep. However, if it is an ordinary adventurer, even if the depth of the quagmire is only unbearable, it is difficult to get up again after sinking. ”

Holliwell wiped the black mud off his face, glared at Nick angrily, and then said with a sigh of relief, "This quagmire is two people deep. The bottom suction is extremely strong, if I don't have enough strength, and there is a hard ground not far away, I am afraid that I will not be able to get up. ”

The elf asked curiously, "And how did you sink?" With your reaction, you noticed that something was wrong with your feet, and you should have retreated as soon as possible, right? ”

Lywell smiled bitterly: "As soon as I stepped on it, I just felt that something was wrong under my feet, and before I could react, there was a huge suction force, pulling my foot and neck, and dragging me down." At first, I wondered if I had encountered some swamp monster, but when I went down, I ran around and didn't touch anything......"

"It's not a swamp monster." Nick explained, "It's just a Misty Swamp feature. The mire of the misty swamp sinks people up so fast. This time it was lucky, the quagmire was not deep, but it is said that some quagmire was unfathomable, and the 'heroes' fell into it and could never get up. ”

Having experienced the power of the misty swamp quagmire, Helivell didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and walked behind Nick honestly, holding a long stick in his hand, and kept poking at the ground next to him.

Wang Zheng pondered, since someone had seen a strange crystal suspected of being a Void Crystal here, and the Void Crystal was only produced in the naturally existing space-time rift, then the quagmire of the misty swamp, the unreasonable "pit man" ability, may be related to the space-time rift.

Maybe it's because there are natural space-time rifts in the area of the misty swamp, and under long-term immersion, the swamp quagmire gradually has some "time and space" characteristics, which will even the legendary powerhouse be able to pit in an instant.

Wang Zheng's assumption has no basis, it is just a matter of letting his brain fly. But it's not entirely impossible. Maybe his vision is true?

"Maybe you'll find the Void Crystal here!"

Wang Zheng secretly looked forward to it, and under the guidance of Nick, he gradually went deeper into the swamp.

The deeper you go into the Misty Swamp, the more bizarre things become.

There are arched bridge-shaped rainbows three feet above the ground, large flocks of jellyfish floating in the air, gorgeous gardens full of flowers, and mushroom huts in the middle of the forest...... All kinds of bizarre wonders always appear suddenly, and then disappear inexplicably, strangely like an illusion.

"This, this is also a phenomenon unique to the Misty Swamp."

Nick, who entered the Misty Swamp for the first time, stammered, "I've heard some adventurers say that in the Misty Swamp, there are often some inexplicable visions. Someone has seen a giant flying lizard with wings and can breathe fire, someone has seen a giant tree thousands of meters high that covers the sky, and some have seen a huge vault full of gold......

"They call it the Misty Illusion. All of them are fake. If you can't distinguish the truth from the fake, you will be confused by the illusion, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire and lose your life...... I couldn't appreciate the wonders of the Misty Illusion just by listening to the rumors, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I know it...... This illusion is really strange and scary! ”

He tilted his head and looked at a giant whale with a single horn on its forehead, as big as a mountain, wagging its huge tail, floating leisurely from above, casting a huge shadow, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, swallowed nervously, and said in a slightly fluttering voice:

"Don't be nervous, everyone, everything is an illusion! Do not be frightened by terrible things and run around, nor be fooled by the beauty of castles, gardens, treasure houses, etc., or you may at any moment step into the bottomless mire and never float again......"

It is not necessary for him to remind him, Wang Zheng and others, there is no one who walks around.

Everyone looked at all kinds of mirage-like "misty illusions", and they were amazed and a little surprised.

"Even if it's a mirage, it should have a basis in reality, right?" The elf said, "However, there are many illusionary scenes, which don't seem to be what this plane should have at all." ”

Sainz nodded in agreement: "Yes, although there are huge and powerful beasts in this plane, there are no magical beasts that can manipulate the power of the elements. The one-horned whale, as well as the fire-breathing flying lizard that Nick said, are all monsters no matter how you look at them! ”

Wang Zheng smiled: "This is a good thing! Doesn't it mean that where there are natural rifts in time and space, there will always be all kinds of strange signs? I think those illusions are probably the dislocated scenes projected by the rift in time and space. ”

Sainz's eyes lit up, "The Legion Commander is right, this is indeed very possible!" ”

Heathcote rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "If that's the case, we should have a chance to find the Void Crystal!" ”

As spellcasters, Heathcot and Sainz, have had enough of this plane.

Although the strength of the legendary fighters has been seriously weakened, at least the basic quality is still there, and they can fight and run, no worse than the "heroes" of this plane.

But Heathcot and Sainz have no room to play here, they are similar to ordinary people, they were shot in the heart with crossbow arrows before, they can only bear it, and they have no ability to retaliate afterwards.

This sense of powerlessness and aggrieved made the two casters extremely uncomfortable, and they couldn't wait to leave this plane.

At this moment, the assassin suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, how do you tell the difference between illusion and reality?" Like the giant hydra over there, is it real or fake? ”

When he first heard the "giant hydra", Wang Zheng thought it was a piece of equipment, and said: "What? Jujiu? Then pick it up! It was all over the side of my mouth, and I swallowed it back.

As he looked in the direction of the Assassin's finger, he saw that it was not a piece of equipment, but a real, gigantic serpent with nine heads.

The giant hydra was even bigger than the black Jiao that Wang Zheng and Chunli had killed.

The snakes were coiled together like a hill. There were nine black snake heads, each of which was no smaller than the black dragon, and they were all as huge as a car.

Nine pairs of vertical pupils the size of headlights looked at Wang Zheng and the others coldly, and nine scarlet snakes spit out and hissed.

"Giant, giant hydra!" Nick was full of excitement and lost his voice: "The legendary overlord of the Misty Swamp, the one who stands on top of all the swamp beasts...... Giant Hydra! ”

Wang Zheng clasped his arms in his hands, squinted at the exaggerated size of the giant hydra, and the old god said on the ground: "Good explanation, continue." ”

Nick swallowed, and really continued to explain: "It can breathe poison, powerful enough to corrode steel, and even the top heroes can't afford to bear a drop of its venom." It has an incredible ability to regenerate, cutting off a head and growing a head. It is said that in order to kill it, it is necessary to cut off all nine of its heads at the same time! But this is simply an impossible task......"

"Regenerative power?" Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Sainz and Heathcot: "Didn't you say that there are no magical beasts in this plane?" The poison of melting steel, and the regenerative ability of cutting off heads without dying, aren't they considered Warcraft? ”

Sainz said: "Well, in our plane, the criterion for judging demonic beasts is mainly to see whether they can manipulate supernatural elements. If it can manipulate supernatural elements, then even if it is just a fire-breathing rabbit, it is still a monster. If you can't manipulate supernatural elements, then even a giant beast like a tyrannosaurus can only be regarded as an ordinary monster.

"This giant hydra, spitting highly venomous, can only be regarded as a snake instinct, after all, many kinds of snakes can spit venom. As for the regenerative capacity...... Earthworms, lizards, geckos, crabs, and many other animals have the ability to regenerate. Therefore, even if you don't die by decapitation and regenerate your head, it can't be regarded as a supernatural ability, but only a superordinarily powerful vitality. ”

Wang Zheng was quite satisfied with this explanation, and nodded: "Okay, your statement is reasonable. That giant hydra, if it can only spit venom and add an immortal body, is indeed not a demonic beast......"

As he was speaking, the body of the giant hydra coiled into a snake formation suddenly popped out like a spring, and nine snake heads swept forward like lightning, each snake head was aimed at a target, to swallow nine of Wang Zheng's ten people in one go!
