Chapter 223: The Swamp of Death
Chapter 223: The Swamp of Death
"Boom!" A giant elephant covered with cyan scale armor, two snow-bright tusks as sharp as two broadswords, its eyes were full of fierce light, chasing a few bison not far from Li Heng "boom" ran by, and soon a terrible bull roar came from not far away.
Li Heng saw through the branches and leaves that the blue-scaled giant elephant was actually devouring the bison, the scene was really bloody, and he had to sigh that the brute beasts on this island were so numerous and terrifying. Cautiously dodging all kinds of unheard of and unseen terrifying beasts, Li Heng walked eight or nine miles before the sunset completely disappeared, and walked into a dark and damp swamp.
There was an unusually dead silence in the swamp, and there was not a single beast to be seen, not even a bird, except for the tall ancient trees. Ponds, mires, ...... The silence was silent, as if it were a dead land! The beasts roared in the distance, but here it was so dead and silent, the contrast between the two was even more prominent, and the evil here was extremely strange.
Walking into the swamp, the air became more and more humid, and the peculiar smell of corruption in the swamp came into his nose, Li Heng frowned, how could he not notice that this place was unusual? The yin qi was extremely heavy, and there was a faint aura of tranquility.
After advancing for more than a mile, there was still not a single creature found except for the trees. However, in the mud and puddles, I saw a lot of white bones, some of which were half-sunk in the mud, and some of which were exposed to the surface, which looked a little terrible in the dim forest.
There were all kinds of bones, among which there were many skeletons of brute beasts, ranging in size from one or two meters to more than ten meters, and to Li Heng's surprise, he also saw a lot of human bones! Judging from the color and bone quality of those human bones, I am afraid that they are at least hundreds of years old.
The last of the sunset vanished, the heavens and the earth were completely darkened, and the swamp became even more gloomy, and the huge trees stood like tombstones, standing in this dead swamp.
"Click!" The sound of bone cracking in the silence suddenly remembered, making this death swamp incomparably clear! Li Henghuo looked back, but he didn't find anything, maybe it happened to be dry bones weathered and broken......
In the evening, the moon rose, and in this silent dead land, the moonlight was so white that it was as frightening as death. At the same time, Li Heng sensed a trace of danger, and without any delay, he quickly rushed towards the outside of the swamp. Looming, a faint black mist drifts from the silt and puddles and begins to swirl through the swampy woodland. Li Heng was taken aback, he had already guessed that this was a miasma, and it was likely to be the most poisonous corpse miasma in the legend.
Standing on the periphery of this dead realm, watching the ribbon of clouds and mist fluttering inside, Li Heng began to think, is it possible to use this place? Bring Mo Yiyi and the brown-haired man here...... But Li Heng was afraid of the little Pegasus, in case it came in with Mo Yiyi.
"Woohoo" heard a strange sound again!
"Ahh
The shadow was a little mechanical stiff at first, but with a whining of the wind, the shadow moved much more lightly and elegantly, and it drifted back and forth in the swamp, as if looking for something.
Li Heng held his breath and continued to watch quietly.
In the snow-white pile of skeletons, under the light of the miserable white moonlight, a black humanoid shadow floated, looking gloomy and terrifying, especially when it could move freely, it was even more terrifying! When it turned around to face Li Heng's direction, Li Heng saw that there was a faint light flickering on the shadow's face, which was shining through the dark eye sockets, which was extremely evil and terrifying.
"Woooooooooo
The same sound sounded in two other directions, and two more shadows stood up in the woods, drifting through the muddy puddle and merging with the first black shadow. There was also a faint light flashing in their eyes, and they seemed to be able to communicate with each other, and every time they looked at each other, the faint light in their eye sockets would keep flickering.
Li Heng couldn't comprehend all this, was it a ghost? He didn't feel like it! In the following hour, no similar black shadow appeared.
During this process, Li Heng always watched in secrecy, and found that three black shadows were constantly turning the bones in the swamp, as if they were looking for something. The skeletons of brute beasts that were several meters long and weighed nearly a thousand catties could be easily opened by them, one could imagine how powerful their strength was! It wasn't until a shadow found a shining spar in the pile of bones that Li Heng understood what they were doing.
The black shadow held the hedron and seemed to be very excited, and its mouth seemed to move up and down, "Ahh The three black shadows stood together under the white moonlight, looking very calm and terrifying.
The pale blue spar was broken open by the black shadow and divided into three petals of about the same size, and each of the three black shadows held one petal and pressed it towards his head. Bright light poured out of their eyes, and pale blue light surged from their heads like water towards their lower bodies. The blue brilliance set off the black figure in a dark blue, and the soft light quickly wrapped the three black shadows in each, and after a long time, the blue brilliance gradually receded, and the black shadow seemed to be a little more condensed than before.
Li Heng was surprised, the black shadows were able to absorb the energy of the hedrons, was this an alternative evolution, but he didn't know how they were created in the first place. Under the miserable white moonlight, the corpses fluttered in the swamp, and the three black shadows floated freely, all this was so evil!
Suddenly, a black shadow walked to the edge of the swamp, as if he had found something, and walked towards the giant tree where Li Heng was hiding. Li Heng's heart moved, and he did not evacuate here, but turned out from behind the big tree, facing the black shadow.
The black shadow seemed to be very confused, looked back at the two companions behind him, and then looked at Li Heng, the faint light flashing in his eye sockets was flickering and flickering, as if he was thinking about something. The other two black shadows floated over, and they also looked at Li Heng with some confusion, as if they felt that the lively guy in front of them was very "different".
Li Heng wanted to observe them up close, to see what kind of strangeness they had, but apart from discovering that there was a mysterious divine soul power in the black shadow that was providing the energy of the entire black shadow's activities, he didn't make any other special discoveries. Suddenly, he had an idea, took out a brown hedron he had obtained from the beast's corpse, and held it in his palm. The eye sockets of the three black shadows suddenly shone brightly, and at the same time stretched out their hands towards the spar.
Li Heng took a step back, and three black shadows followed, stepping out of the swamp. Not feeling the killing intent on them, Li Heng handed them the spar. The brown hedron was easily split by them, split into three petals, and then stuffed into their head and pressed it. A brown glow flickered, and the light extended from their heads to their lower bodies. Looking closely, it was found that the brilliance on their appearance flowed, and the three black shadows temporarily became bright, and as the energy of the spar was completely absorbed, this disappearance disappeared, but they seemed to be more condensed, not like a castle in the air before, but more like a physical body, and even a little more luster than before!
A black shadow stretched out his hand and struck at the big tree next to him, and with a soft "poof" sound, his hand was inserted deep into the trunk of the tree as if it were inserted into tofu, and even the small half of his arm did not enter it.
Ordinary plugs have such power, you can see their terrifying! Li Heng was very surprised, the power of this black shadow was much stronger than he imagined! The light in the eye sockets of the three black shadows flashed, and he stood in front of Li Heng and looked at him quietly. After a long time, their jaws opened and closed a few times, making a "whining" sound, as if to say something, and then they walked together towards the depths of the swamp, slowly disappearing into the gloomy forest.
For all this, Li Heng felt a little incredible, he looked around this death swamp, walked for more than half an hour and found that it could be more than ten square kilometers in size, and the corpses inside were heavy and gloomy, looking mysterious and terrifying. At midnight, the corpse miasma in the swamp was at its strongest, and the black fog even obscured the white moonlight.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the miasma gradually receded and became thinner. In the second half of the night, Li Heng was in the outer area of the Death Swamp when he suddenly heard a violent impact sound, and it seemed that the swamp was ...... Someone was fighting!He ran around the swamp and rushed in the direction where the sound was coming from, and a moment later he saw an astonishing picture!
The three black shadows and the five zombies fought fiercely in the forest, and the three black shadows moved to the extreme like three ghostly lights, leaving afterimages around the five zombies, and their arms hit their bodies from time to time, making a "bang" sound.
Li Heng was extremely surprised, all this in front of him made him feel incredible! Although the zombies were not as flexible as the black shadows, their ability to resist attacks was particularly strong, and the hands of the three black shadows that could easily penetrate the ancient giant trees were difficult to hurt them, and only when they attacked their eyes, the five zombies would be terrified and dodge.
Terrible swamps, a duel between dead and dead...... After watching for half a quarter of an hour, Li Heng found that the three inverted black shadows gradually fell behind, if they were one-on-one, they were stronger than zombies, but now they were inferior to each other in number, and three-on-five was obviously invincible. As dawn approached, the miasma of corpses in the swamp thinned out and almost completely disappeared.
Li Heng thought for a moment, held his breath and walked into the swamp, and then rushed towards a zombie like lightning, his palms glowed faintly, as bright as jade, and swung forward violently.
"Bang" A zombie was shocked back a few steps, but it was not cracked, Li Heng felt as if he had hit the divine iron, and both palms were faintly painful, and the zombie was unscathed, it was really a powerful dead thing! It was more than a hundred times stronger than the martial zombie he had encountered in the secret realm of the spirit ruins, and obviously the zombie in front of him also had spiritual intelligence.
