Chapter 30: Death

"Isn't the Ghostface Squid a legendary creature? Why doesn't it use the Realm of Legends? Qin Lun asked Mastasha curiously as he ran.

"It doesn't dare to use it, most of the legendary realms of water-based demonic beasts are water realms. If it is in the Endless Sea, the waves driven by the water field can even overturn the steam warship made by the goblins in an instant. However, this is a lake after all, and if it did, the water level would drop a lot. The Highland Elf gasped and replied.

Qin Lun understood, with the size of this ghost-faced squid, it was now trapped in the place of death forever. It will not destroy its homes in order to hunt itself and others. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to resist the monstrous waves it has set off, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

"Which way are you going?" Largo, who was scouting his way ahead, shouted at Mastasia.

"Wait!" The Highland Elf bent down and plunged his palm into the soil, picked some dirt with his fingers and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and pointed out the direction to everyone, "Go this way!" ”

"Does that work?" Winnie's face was a little pale because of the overcast, and her hair was sticking to her face with sweat.

She was measuring the decay in the soil, which, unlike other lakes, was too deep for the swamp banyan trees to grow. The greater the concentration of decay, the closer it is to the true embankment. Qin Lun explained softly behind her.

"Oh!" Winnie agreed, asking suspiciously, "Why didn't she do this before?" ”

Qin Lun's eyes flashed and he didn't explain again. Winnie quickly came to her senses and shook her head with a wry smile.

Mastasia hadn't done this before, because he didn't realize that the lake was special, and because there would be after-effects from doing so. Qin Lun, who had a keen eye, had seen the highland elves behind people more than once, quietly wiping away the blood flowing from his nose.

Can you taste the soil of the swamp, not to mention the mess in it, the toxins accumulated by the biogas over the years alone are enough for her to drink a pot.

"Whoa!" The slight sound of paddling from the lake in the distance quickly made everyone nervous again, and the ghost-faced squid still did not give up the hunt.

"Qin Lun, can you use the Tree Realm to descend?" Hill asked quietly in the team channel.

"The environment here is not suitable!" Qin Lun shook his head, what was the use of this narrow dirt road overgrown with trees, it couldn't stop the tentacles of the ghost-faced squid at all. What's more, this is the depths of the lake, and there are not many plant seeds in the soil. Even if you use the Tree Realm to descend, I'm afraid it won't be able to form a large-scale barrier.

"There's no way ahead!" The thief ran back with a anxious face, but in fact, without his greeting, everyone had already seen dozens of meters ahead. It's an ocean. The dirt road came to an abrupt halt when it reached this point, and the first section was submerged underwater.

"How so?" Sifo sat on the ground a little distracted, and from the perspective of ordinary people and noble young masters, his will was already extraordinarily strong. After running for a night, I changed to an ordinary professional, and it is estimated that I will collapse at this time.

"Phew!" Masasia spat out the black soil in his mouth, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, "Swim over, opposite the shore, I have already tasted fresh banyan seeds!" ”

"Are you sure?" Looking at the black water, Winnie struggled to brighten up her illuminati, but she still couldn't see too far.

"Isn't there a water-bound spirit in the water?" Largo asked feebly.

"There is no lake in this lake, near the nest of the ghost-faced squid, and there will be no room for the existence of other consciousnesses." Mastasha bent over her knees, and in the darkness, only Qin Lun could see blood pouring out of the corners of her mouth.

Soon a small pool of blood piled up on the ground, and the Highland Elf straightened up and silently rubbed the pool of blood away with his leather boots.

"Qin Lun, can you see it?" Rand smiled wryly and asked, "If we make a mistake this time, we won't be able to fight the ghost-faced squid in the water." ”

"I can't see it clearly, it's at least a hundred meters away!" The gaze aura in Qin Lun's left eye quietly dissipated, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Decide, that thing is getting closer!" Rick shouted in a deep voice.

"Believe me, the other side must be the shore!" Mastasia screamed, "plopped", and jumped into the bone-chilling lake first.

"We don't have a choice!" Qin Lun and his two companions glanced at each other, and dragged Xifo in tow, "Follow me closely, and if you can't swim, you can speak!" ”

"Hmm!" Sifo gritted his teeth fiercely, nodded, and followed Qin Lun and the others into the water.

"Damn it!" The thief cursed to himself, then jumped off, shivering as soon as he touched the lake, "#@¥, it's so cold!" ”

"Winnie, pull me!" Rick handed the female mage, who was in the worst shape, and even after years of adventuring in the wild, she was only slightly better than Sifer. The mage's physique is so fragile and sensitive, which has nothing to do with whether or not he has exercised, but is the result of long-term erosion of various magical elements.

"Can you get into the water? Do you want me to attach a levitation spell to you? Winnie hesitated to glance at Rick's heavy armor.

"It's okay, the armor has a constant water avoidance technique, but it has a lot of buoyancy in the water." Rick shook his head and laughed.

"Whoa!" As he spoke, the sound of paddling became clearer and clearer in the distance, as if like a whip, urging everyone to speed up.

"Mastasya?" Qin Lun, who jumped into the water for the second time, just swam a certain distance when he found that the highland elves were actually gone.

"It's sinking!" Hill closed his eyes for a while, then pointed to the water and said, his water affinity is better than Qin Lun's eyes here.

"You go first, I'll save her!" Qin Lun motioned to Sifer to follow Hill and Rand, and plunged into the water with one of his own fierce sons.

"Rand, do you feel that Qin Lun is a little strange at this time?" Hill watched his movements, frowned slightly, blocked the team channel, and secretly communicated with the fireworks.

"Well, I found out a long time ago!" Rand nodded solemnly, "Along the way, he saved the mage twice in a row and the thief once, if it had been before, he wouldn't have done this at all!" ”

Qin Lun and the three of them hired the Blood Piercing Mercenary Group, the purpose was to let them be cannon fodder, and they could explain it once in a while, and it would not be like Qin Lun's style to help them continuously. treats cannon fodder, how can there be such meticulous care as him.

"Don't ask him yet, see what he wants to do?" Hill shrugged his shoulders, grabbed the immobile Sifer, and swam in the direction that Mastasha had pointed out.

"Where?" Qin Lun's left eye flashed with dark green light, and he groped carefully underwater, but he could never see the shadow of the highland elves. The lake in the Swamp of Death seemed to be denser than the water outside, and he couldn't see far, so he could only search by feeling.

"Found it!" After a while, a hint of joy finally flashed on Qin Lun's face, and he found the ponytail of the highland elves spreading out like water plants.

"Ahem!" The head of the Highland Elf popped out of the water, and there was a strong cough, and streams of blood ran down the side of their mouths.

"Where am I?" Mastasia opened his eyes and looked blankly at the silver-haired elf beside him.

However, her consciousness soon cleared up, and she felt a little stuffy in her chest, and she couldn't help but look down. I saw Qin Lun's arms around her armpits, and his two palms unceremoniously supporting her full and towering twin peaks, were dragging her forward.

Because Qin Lun could only use his legs to pedal the water, the bodies of the two were stuck together without any gaps, accompanied by intimate friction, which actually made the tired bodies of the highland elves feel electrocuted.

"Are you awake? Then take it easy and don't stretch your body! Qin Lun glanced down and said in a deep voice, "We are at the back." ”

The pale face of the silver-haired elf fell into Mastasya's eyes, and suddenly the highland elf's heart flushed with a strange feeling. It's just that she quickly shaved the young man fiercely, shook off Qin Lun's arm, and tried to swim forward.

Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and grinned, following the highland elves while paying attention to the movement behind him. It's just that he quickly showed a strange look on his face, and tried his best not to laugh.

Mastasha is tall, well-proportioned and toned, especially with a pair of long legs. It's a pity that at this time, her swimming style is ugly to death, and it is actually a dog ~ crawling style. paddling so hard, but the speed is not fast, and from time to time I will choke on two mouthfuls, no wonder I will sink to the bottom before.

"You can't swim, and you're still fighting to be the first to jump into the water?" Qin Lun asked with a chuckle.

The Highland Elf's body stiffened, and he almost sank again, and it took him a bit of a dance before he resurfaced. Qin Lun sped up and rushed to her side, his arm around his armpit, and once again held a pair of majestic murder weapons of Mastaxia, pulling her to swim forward.

"Stop struggling, you don't want to make us all squid food!" Feeling the instinctive resistance of the highland elves, Qin Lun's arms tightened, and he said expressionlessly.

Mastasha lowered her head, her expression unreadable in the darkness, and muttered a few words under her mouth.

"What?" Qin Lun couldn't hear what she was saying, and suddenly asked suspiciously.

"I'm a Highland Elf, what's so strange about not being able to swim!" Mastasha raised his voice and shouted angrily.

"Alright, alright, got it!" Qin Lun felt that the appearance of the highland elves was a little strange, so he had to say a few perfunctory words.

"Coax the kids!" The highland elf pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but Qin Lun ignored her anymore. Even a master harpist can't get rid of the common problems of women.

"I see the embankment!" Largo's cheers could be heard ahead.

Qin Lun looked up, his eyes flickering, and he could finally see a hazy black shadow in front of him. On this wide lake, the dark shadow that appears in the distance above the water level clearly means that the shore is coming.

"Huh, weird!" Mastasya, who was in Qin Lun's arms, frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly said in surprise, "We've arrived at the place!" ”

"To the place?" Qin Lun looked at the highland elves with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm!" Mastasya chick nodded as if pecking rice, "Look, this black shadow is continuous, isn't it different from the swamp environment we have been seeing?" ”

"You mean, we've reached the entrance to the canyon of Trollclaw?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and suddenly understood.
