Chapter 525: Tribes in the Tar Swamp
The reason why the tar swamp is called the tar swamp is mainly because it stores a large amount of oil in the mud layer, and these charred black grease often gushes out of the surface under the action of underground pressure, and then forms a stall of charred black bubble liquid in the potholes in the ground, and at the same time, the smell of a large number of animal carcasses will also be accompanied by the charred black bubbles from the ground to the surface, and the entire tar swamp is extremely "smelly".
Moreover, due to the special reaction of too much earth element in the swamp to absorb the water element and the excessive water element self-accumulation, the whole swamp is wet all day long, and even the sky above the tar swamp is covered with gloomy dark clouds all year round.
With such an environment that is not suitable for ordinary plants to grow, the tar swamp is undoubtedly a useless soil, although it stores a large amount of tar underground, but because the tar contains a large amount of oil with both earth and water elements, it is not only unable to act as fuel, but also easy to become a breeding ground for all kinds of germs.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that there are many dangerous magical plants and magical creatures living in this filthy and foul-smelling tar swamp, so the mysterious tar swamp is always isolated from the world, except for a very few caravans that are very afraid of death for the sake of profit, they dare to go into it carefully accompanied by professionals, ordinary people do not even dare to approach the outermost "tar jungle".
But...... Now the swamp is about to welcome visitors, Punk and Kane, who are clearly not ordinary people.
Calmly using the "Kinetic Blast" to blast a gap in the outer jungle surrounding the Tar Swamp, Punk and Kane float in the air and fly into the charred land, of course, the "smile" behind Punk is carried forward by the magical breeze summoned by Punk.
The interior of the Tar Marsh is quite distinctive, with a slender but very tall "oilwood" with a slender trunk as the main plant here, which has a grey sheen and even its leaves are oily when soaked in oil.
It is precisely because of this that "oilwood" has been called oilwood.
Around each bead of wood, there are often several small flowers with wide leaves, and every time the petals that look harder than the wood open and close with the breeze, a little yellowish gas will slowly spill out of the gaps in the petals.
These gases have a certain hallucinogenic effect, but because the dose is too small and the evaporation is too fast, only a few small insects will be "preyed" by these flowers.
With the support of the rich earth and water elements, the tar swamp forms its rich ecological structure, and if you ignore the lingering stench in the air, this gloomy swamp has a bit of a "lost forest" charm.
Of course, the smell of corpses, feces, and decaying plants was hard to ignore, at least Kane, who was right behind the punk, was already pinching his nose and complaining.
"Oh damn it, does this kind of thing like a swamp have to be related to the big dung heap, why does it smell so bad here, and I can't keep using my fighting spirit to disperse the air without breathing ............."
"Be quiet, Kane, it's rare that this swamp is still quiet, don't bother me with the prophecy spell now!"
Punk didn't pay any attention to Kane's complaints, partly because he was really busy using one prophecy spell after another to probe the dangers of the swamp, and partly because of ...... He has always been blessed with a "formal-level alchemy spell - gas filtration............
It was precisely because he saw the way Punk breathed indifferently in that thin shield of energy that Kane said loudly without jealousy:
"Uncle Ben has begun to regret coming to this swamp to hunt now, with convenient spells to use, punk, you" mage " will never experience the mood of a hard-pressed warrior."
After saying that, Kane, who was pale, gritted his teeth and took another breath, and then he quickly ran his fighting spirit again and began to dispel the stench around him.
As a master-level fighter, Kane can't go too long without breathing, holding his breath for two or three hours is already the limit, if you want to continue not breathing, you need to use your fighting energy to drive the blood, and that awkward feeling will only be more uncomfortable than smelling some stinks.
Unlike the "pampered" knights, there hasn't been much of a magic crow vector and the "smile" that follows the punk since he was with punk doesn't have any complaints, the magic crow is because it doesn't need to breathe, and the "smile" is because it's ............
"Suck~~ How do I feel that the taste of this tar is quite fresh, and it is not so unbearable."
Savoring the smell of tar in the air, the "smiling" expression did not have the slightest displeasure.
Well, there are some people who don't have an aversion to the smell of oil, which is something that can't be helped, and even Kane can only whisper to himself that "only Uncle Ben is unlucky".
While chatting and talking, Punk's prophecy spell had already had results, so Punk said indifferently to the knight in the golden glittering fighting spirit wrapped in it:
"I haven't been able to get any exact information about the master magical creatures in the Tar Swamp with a few common prophecy spells, but according to the prophecy spells, there are three sapient biomes living in this swamp, and I think they should know something."
"Intelligent beings? There are very few intelligent beings that can settle in such a place, can there be three of them in a swamp at the same time?"
Hearing Punk's words, Kane was slightly stunned, and "Smile" also showed a curious expression.
Because punk is talking about "intelligent biomes", it means that the creatures that live here are not humans, and in a barren swamp, it is not easy for three underdeveloped civilizations to survive, maybe these intelligent biomes will have strong people.
However, Punk's answer soon answered Kane's doubts:
"I don't think there's anything to worry about, it's just three small groups on the periphery of the swamp, a Qin tribe, a snake tribe, and a "half-orc" rabbit tribe.
"I see", Kane nodded and said heartlessly: "It's okay to not have a troublemaker, but speaking of which, it's still good to meet one more master-level powerhouse with a bad brain, and it's not bad to have one more prey anyway."
Punk was naturally noncommittal about Kane's statement, so he didn't take Kane's words, and after using several spells to determine the direction again, Punk said to Kane and "Smile" who were behind while taking another step:
"The closest to us is a tribe of Qin people, if there is no objection, let's hurry up and go!"
