Chapter 149: The Huge Fish-Man Tribe (Sixth Update)
Seriously, he encountered a legendary creature on the second day after entering the swamp, which completely exceeded Ye Qing's psychological expectations, according to how could he have to enter the core of the swamp to encounter this kind of thing, and if he encountered it now, wouldn't it mean that the depths of the swamp were more dangerous?
Shen Ya saw that he was frightened, and gently patted him on the head with her hand to make him sober up before saying:
"You thought the hero pass would be so easy to get? That's the test, and you have to take a lot of risk if you want to get a lot of money. You should be glad that I led the way, otherwise you would not have been able to obtain the hero certificate on your own, and you would not even be able to find the way. ”
Ye Qing touched his head, his will was still very low, he raised his head and said:
"But this is too dangerous, isn't it, is it the case with other hero professions?"
"Not all of them, but it's definitely not going to be easy, plus,"
She gave him a look of contempt and said:
"You don't have a family background beyond ordinary people, and you don't have a high-level reincarnation person to prepare for you, just because you are an ordinary birth, it's already amazing to have the opportunity to get a hero class, what you have to do now is not to be depressed, but to cheer up and try to live until you get the hero certificate in the depths of the swamp."
"Okay!"
It took Ye Qing a long time to reply to these two words.
Frustration is definitely there, anyone who sees that giant python will have this kind of thought, that's really not what he can deal with now, seriously, even if he cuts it all day, he can't kill that thing.
However, although he was depressed, Shen Ya's enlightenment was still somewhat useful, and he was no longer as depressed as he was at the beginning.
Yes, his birth is very ordinary, his parents are ordinary people, it is impossible to provide him with any benefits, Shen Ya, who originally intended to help him, has limited strength, and she is willing to help because he has potential, if he keeps being so depressed, maybe she will regret it when the time comes, even if she gets the hero certificate, she will not necessarily give it to him.
After all, no one wants to pin their expectations on a weak-willed person, a coward is a coward even if he becomes a hero, and he will retreat when he encounters a powerful enemy, how can this help her take revenge?
Of course, she can understand Ye Qing's current situation, he is just a student, not even an official reincarnation, and she can understand that it is normal to be afraid of a legendary creature suddenly.
In fact, she was already very satisfied when he was able to withstand the pressure of the legendary aura's unique legendary aura, but she didn't show it, he just didn't know.
On the other side, the three-headed swamp creatures that confronted each other before have all now entered the belly of the giant python, even the corpse of the dead swamp python is no exception, the huge amazing python ignored the corpses of the small creatures that were shocked to death by it after eating, looked back at the two people in the distance, and plunged into the swamp again.
Watching the huge python like a train burrow into the muddy water of the swamp, the dark green scales were densely covered with green moss, and some also had unknown plants, which looked full of ancient atmosphere.
This python must have lived for a long time, otherwise it would not have grown so big.
I don't know how long this giant python is, anyway, it took almost half a minute for the body to burrow into the swamp, you must know that its speed is very fast, roughly estimated to be at least a few hundred meters, if it is put up, it is estimated that it can scare a lot of people to death.
Fortunately, the giant python was not interested in them, to be honest, the gaze that the giant python looked at when he left startled him, and even Shen Ya was a little out of shape.
Fortunately, it has just been full, and the two of them are not big enough to even be a snack, which is estimated to be the main reason why they have taken refuge.
With this encounter, the two of them were more careful next, digging a large piece of dirt and throwing it into a ball before passing through a mud pond to see if any big monsters were brought up.
However, they didn't know if they were frightened by the python, or if there were no powerful swamp creatures nearby, so the rest of the journey was smooth sailing, until it was getting dark, and they found a large swamp island to spend the night.
As soon as he landed on the island, Ye Qing immediately summoned the Grizzly Bear King out, and then he felt a little more at ease.
Seriously, if it weren't for the swampy terrain that wasn't suitable for the Grizzly King, he would definitely sit on the Grizzly King's shoulders the whole time.
The seven-meter-tall Grizzly Bear King weighs more than ten tons, and a foot on this swampy ground is a deep imprint, which is still on a swampy island with a large piece of land, if it is in a swamp, even if it is in a mound, it will sink directly.
The width of those mounds is different, the narrow ones are less than one meter, and the wide ones are three or four meters, but there are mud ponds on both sides, which cannot bear the weight themselves, and it is no problem for people to stay on them, but if the grizzly bear king stays on them, they must only sink down.
I don't know if it's deep in the swamp, now the swamp creatures living here are getting stronger and stronger, and it's not safe for the Grizzly King to keep vigil at night.
One night they could clearly feel the presence of a large number of monsters nearby, and in the middle of the night there were swamp creatures pushing into the island, and the grizzly king let out a low roar to force them back.
The two of them woke up at dawn the next day and immediately began to hurry.
Early in the morning is the best time to rush in the wild, nocturnal creatures are ready to enter the nest, diurnal creatures have just woken up, the danger in the wild is the lowest, and you can rush for a while until dawn.
As soon as the morning dawned, they returned to the same alert state as yesterday.
But as he moved deeper into the swamp, Ye Qing found a strange phenomenon, as if... There are a lot fewer swamp creatures here.
To be precise, there were far fewer powerful swamp creatures, and one morning they ran into a large crocodile lurking on the edge of a mud pond, and then they didn't encounter other powerful creatures.
Until the afternoon, they didn't encounter any other powerful swamp creatures.
Originally, this was a good thing, but neither of them had a happy look on their faces, but a solemn face.
Because according to the laws of the wild, there are no powerful creatures living in a large area like this, there are only two possibilities, one is that there are intelligent creatures nearby, and the other is that there is a very powerful existence nearby, and this is the territory of this powerful existence, and other powerful creatures are either eaten up or all driven away.
If it's the former, it's okay, intelligent beings have room for communication.
But if it's a territory of a powerful existence, it's troublesome, people won't communicate with you, and they will swallow you directly when they meet.
The two walked some distance, and Ye Qing suddenly asked Shen Ya:
"Teacher, you were here last time, do you know if there are any powerful monsters here?"
However, Shen Ya's answer made him even more worried:
"It's been many years since we first entered, and the swamp has changed a lot over the years, maybe some powerful presence happens to move the nest over the past few years."
...
This answer, which left him speechless, hesitated for a long time, and then he proposed:
"Should we take a detour, I always feel wrong!"
Shen Ya's face remained unchanged, she didn't even look at him, and said:
"What's the difference between a detour? There is no danger in the swamp, and besides, if it is a powerful existence like the unknown legendary creature just now, it may not take us seriously. ”
"Well, I'll just talk about it!"
Of course Ye Qing understood this truth, she just wanted to say it to relieve the pressure, and when she heard her, she really felt that the pressure was not so great, but she kept praying in her heart that what she said was true.
I don't know if his prayer took effect, but he really passed through unharmed along the way, and he really didn't see the so-called powerful existence, but saw an unexpected creature when it was almost dark.
A group of fishmen, approaching a swampy island, unexpectedly saw a fish-man tribe on the island.
In just an instant, his heart fell all at once.
The appearance of the fish-man tribe means that the previous speculation is false, there is no so-called powerful existence here, but there is a powerful fish-man tribe nearby, and the powerful swamp creatures around it are not scared away, but killed by the fishmen, so there are so few.
This fish-man tribe looks quite large, and the swampy island of more than 100 meters is full of fishmen, and there are many fish-people densely scattered around the island.
On the top of the island, there is a simple building, which is the place of worship of the fish-man tribe, which looks a little bigger and better than the small fish-man tribe seen when they first entered the swamp.
The place of worship of the small fish-man tribe was built with dry branches, and this one was built with large bones, presumably the bones of the large swamp creatures that were killed around it, and a large number of vines were tied into shelves, which was much better in terms of appearance.
According to rough estimates, the number of fish-people in this big fish-man tribe is more than a thousand, and this is what they see from the front, and they can't see it on the other side of the island, so I don't know if there will be more.
Of course, such a large fish-man tribe is not suitable for them to use as a campsite, so they can only think of other ways, but what makes him depressed is that there don't seem to be other swampy islands nearby, not even a slightly larger ground.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Qing asked Shen Ya:
"What to do, do you storm or find a new place?"
Shen Ya kept looking into the distance as if she was thinking, and after a while she said:
"Let's find a place not far from the fish-man tribe to rest, this place is very close to the fish-man tribe, there won't be many threatening creatures coming, and the fish-people don't move much at night, as long as you hide carefully, you should be able to spend the night."
Of course, he would not have room for objection, so he answered cheerfully, then turned around and pointed in one of the directions and asked her:
"It's there, it's quite big, and there's a lot of grass growing on it, which can block the view of the fish-people."
She looked at it and nodded.
The place he was referring to was the junction of several mud ponds, a place less than four meters in diameter, overgrown with many strange plants, half a man tall enough to hide their crouching figures, as long as the fish-men did not come here at night, they would definitely not be found.
Of course, the premise is not to be spotted by other swamp creatures at night, that will be troublesome, after all, once you shoot, it will smell bloody, which can easily attract the attention of the fishmen.
