Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Swamp

In the depths of the Hidden Dragon Valley, between the lofty mountains and mountains, the east and west stretch for nearly a hundred miles, and the widest part has dozens of miles, surrounded by layers of mountains.

In the southeastern part of the mountain range is a narrow valley in which a small river cuts through the mountains to the outside world and then merges into a wetland.

Out of the mountains is a vast plain, but unfortunately the plain is full of mizuzawa mud, and the road to the outside world is blocked. This is the Everglades.

The swamp stretches as far as the eye can see, and no one knows how big it really is, because it's so big that no one can ever get a full picture of it.

According to the map in his memory, the dragon spirit probably analyzed the terrain of this area, and the swamp was probably a wetland extending from a large lake in later generations.

The climate was hot and rainy, and the water was abundant, and the great lake must have been filled with water, and its area had expanded many times. It flooded the nearby lowlands, turning the entire plain into a lake wetland.

"If this is the case, then this swamp is estimated to be thousands of miles in radius, which is simply too exaggerated."

The dragon spirit rode a canopy boar, standing on a high ground and observing the open terrain in front of him, and his heart was amazed.

The edge of the swamp is sparsely wooded, and the vegetation grows lower the further in, with only sporadic clumps of wood.

It is a world of aquatic plants, with reeds and cattails everywhere, and patches of green mudflats and black water scattered like broken glass.

In the distance, there seemed to be a vast expanse of water, but it was not clear to see. The water vapor looms low over the ground, making the swamp look ethereal, like a mirage.

After staying in the cramped jungle for a long time, at first glance seeing such an open scenery and feeling the gentle breeze blowing, the dragon spirit's mood was also happy.

However, he did not dare to take it lightly, the swamp was much more dangerous than the primeval jungle, where the terrain was complex and changeable, and the environment was harsh, and if he accidentally got lost, he would definitely be trapped in it.

If no one leads the way, the people of Longze will never step into it!

Turning his head to look at Bakabaka, who was busy in the wetlands, the dragon spirit said to the great wizard beside him, "If this guy has malicious intentions and leads us into the Jedi and escapes, we will all be wiped out." ”

The Great Wizard brought his pet poison dove Dumb with him this trip, and Dumb not only had to help him guard the door and clean up snakes and insects, but also be his mount on weekdays.

At this time, he was riding on the poison dove, with two legs under Dumb's wings, one hand around Dumb's neck, and the other hand holding the rat's whiskers and smiling: "Except for humans, you don't have to worry about any alien race using tricks. ”

"yes, hahaha." The dragon spirit laughed.

In fact, he had already discussed this issue with the elders, and everyone didn't think that the rumors were so insidious. In this era, even the most scheming humans don't have much to do, let alone the turtle and fungus people who hide in the swamp and have never seen the world.

"Ahem, that ......" The archwizard looked at the canopy boar where the dragon spirit was sitting, and then at his small ostrich-like mount, which felt inferior in comparison.

"Dragon spirit, old man, I'm old, this dumb guy is running up and down, and I'm about to scatter my old bones."

"How long have you been riding it on a bamboo raft? If you can't do it, don't ride. ”

The Great Wizard didn't answer, looked at the huge canopy boar, and said with envy: "I see that you are riding this guinea pig very steadily, or ...... Let's change it? ”

"That's the idea."

The dragon shook his head and said, "Witch Crow Prince, all this way is by water, and the canopy can only follow in the mud, so I rode it in order to appease the canopy. Otherwise, why do you think I don't sit on the bamboo raft and wade through the mud with it? ”

"If you want to sit on it, you will have a chance to do it, bear with it for a few days, and riding a wild boar is not as comfortable as you think."

The rumors knew that there was a waterway leading to the ruins, but the waterway was narrow and shallow, so the Longze army marched in a small bamboo row that could only seat two or three people.

Of course, the dragon spirit will not forget to bring the canopy boar, firstly, it does not dare to leave it in the village for a long time, and secondly, it is also a super heavy offensive weapon, which must be very cool to use to impact cannibals.

However, the big wild boar could not ride in the row, and the dragon spirit did not worry about letting it follow the pig alone, so he could only ride it along the river. Thanks to its ability to adapt to the terrain of jungle swamps, you wouldn't have been able to take it with you.

The wild boar is worthy of being the descendant of the fierce beast, and it is easy to cross the forest and water along the way, wade through the mud and climb the mountain, but the wild boar rider on its back is unspeakably miserable by being tossed, scratched all over his body, and people have become mud monkeys.

The great wizard looked amused, and wanted to let him ride up, but he was afraid that the bone frame would really fall apart.

"Humph!" The great wizard's face hung down, and he patted the poison dove's neck, and Dumb screamed, and ran down the mountain with the little old man on his wings.

"The careful-eyed old fellow." The dragon spirit smiled helplessly and drove the pig down.

The ranks of the human army stopped at the edge of the swamp, and more than a hundred bamboo rows were connected end to end, expelling hundreds of meters long in the twisting waterway.

Because there was no special logistics and transportation troops, some supplies were placed on each bamboo raft, and the hunters stayed on the bamboo rafts, vigilantly holding bows and guarding.

Ten hairy savages were at the back, riding on a larger bamboo raft, with no goods on it, only one hairy savage, and two humans in front and back supporting pennies to transport them.

It was the first time for the hairy savages to take a boat, and they were very nervous, like mud bodhisattvas, sitting in the middle of the bamboo raft without moving, only two eyes purring.

The dragon spirit comforted them and came to the front of the fleet, standing with Shi Pan, who was commanding the team, and both of them looked at the water in front of them.

I saw Baka Baka standing on a bamboo raft, screaming non-stop.

After a while, I saw a dozen small boats coming out of the reeds, and on each boat there was a little guy paddling an oar.

When they arrived, the dragon spirit saw that the canoe of the Rumor Fungus was actually made of reeds, and it looked very unsafe, as if it would suck up water and sink at any moment.

The folks were also strange-looking, and they were like the eggshell-clad Bakabaka, each of them wearing a huge shell made of reeds, on which were painted with various birds and beasts, covering most of their bodies.

"Isn't it ugly to see the fungus people? Why is it that everyone is so virtuous? The dragon spirit belly sneered.

Bakabaka exchanged some words with his companions, and ran over to the dragon spirit and Shi Pan and said, "They are the companions who came with me to deliver gifts. ”

"How's it going?" Great Elder Shi Pan has been doing it for a long time, and his speech is more powerful than that of the dragon spirit.

"It's raining heavily for the past two days, and the waterways have changed, but it's okay, my companion has found a new way. Please follow us and don't wander around. ”

"Okay, let's go as soon as possible."

Bakabaka returned to the front of the bamboo raft, and the reed boats of the Rumors took the lead, and the long fleet followed them into the mysterious swamp.
