Chapter 13: Dead Water Forest

The morning is quiet, and when people are still asleep, the branches and leaves of the ancient trees are already vigorously absorbing the nectar of the morning.

At the top of the city-state treehouse fortress, the branch leader spent the longest night of his life, if it weren't for the chirping of birds outside the tree, it is estimated that he was still sleeping on the ground at this time, he wondered why he would lie on this cold ground all night, he tried to remember what happened last night, but the strange thing was that no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember, and there was only chaos left in his mind at the moment.

The windows of the treehouse were closed, and a peculiar smell slowly seeped through the cracks in the door, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a long time, the president noticed why there was a smell of burning in the house?

The branch president was completely panicked at this time, he kept hitting the wooden door with his body, but the strange thing was that the door that was usually very loose turned out to be extremely strong at the moment, and after three or four impacts, the branch president gave up this plan, because his left arm had swollen with the boss's bag.

The flames were so full that the flames seemed to have spirituality, and they came in through the cracks in the doors and windows, and soon the little tree house was full of this raging fire! The branch leader was crazy looking for all the water sources around him, and he tried in vain to use water to extinguish the fire, but what he didn't expect was that what he saw in front of him was not an ordinary flame, but a hell flame that contained great magic power and was enough to burn everything out.

The branch leader looked at everything in front of him in despair, he didn't know why things had developed like this, surrounded by raging fire, he seemed to hear the roars of countless souls, and the painful, miserable cry made him feel hopeless. This strange flame was like a fiery snake at the moment, completely confined the branch leader in a small circle, and the fire snake did not seem to devour his thoughts at the moment, but instead treated the branch leader as a plaything, and it enjoyed the fear emanating from the cowardly human in front of it.

Despair and helplessness slammed into the branch president's chest like two sharp swords, and his terrified soul was torn out of him bit by bit by the fiery serpent, and then dragged mercilessly into the raging flames.

The branch leader's hollow eyes watched his soul struggle in the flames, and the dancing flames were like a soothing poisonous snake, constantly swaying in the fire, devouring his soul. As his soul was devoured, the branch leader's body gradually turned into nothingness, and soon an overwhelming fire completely engulfed his entire body..................

The fire of the ancient trees in the city-state intensified, it spread very quickly, and soon it had spread to the residential areas, those who were still asleep in the early morning, at this moment there was no defense at all, the fire was very fierce, and many people fell asleep forever in sweet dreams. The flames did not stop in its tracks, and continued to devour and plunder the innocent people under the impetus of a nameless force.

"See, this is what happens if you disobey me. "On the distant mountain, a man in a platinum robe groans slowly as he overlooks the fires in the city

Road.

A fat-bellied man beside him resignedly agreed, and the raging fire in front of him obviously frightened him.

"What the hell happened last night!"

"I, I don't know.................."

"Hmph!" the platinum-robed man snorted coldly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Who is it who left the city this morning?"

"It's the Harris Vanguard. ”

"Catch up, kill them. ”

"The ......... of Clear"

"Do you know what happens if you disobey my orders?" asked the platinum-robed man with a smirk as he turned around.

The raging fire was still burning, and under the impetus of the strong wind, most of the city-state was plunged into a sea of fire, and countless residents were busy with buckets of water, but in the face of the flames, it was all in vain, and in the flames, countless souls were groaning and wailing, and this day finally became a memorial day for the entire city-state of the green forest.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Harris vanguard marched day and night, and they did not relax for a whole day, Feng Yao looked at the towering city wall in the distance, she knew that it was the wall of the neighboring country.

"There's the city-state of China ahead!"

Yi Tian looked at the towering city defense from afar, and there was always an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart, and the city-state in front of him was by no means a good place.

"I always had a sense of foreboding. ”

"The vanguard army obeyed the order, bypassed the city-state of China, and advanced at full speed. ”

Due to the warm climate of the Eastern Continent, there are large areas of dense forests here, and the Vera League is the most prosperous, basically every hundreds of miles there will be a large area of dense forests, the green forest city-state is a city built in the forest, and the Chinar city-state is built next to the dense forest. Due to the topography and climate, the green plants growing here lack the necessary nutrients for growth, resulting in extremely strange growth of trees, coupled with the fact that the sun is not exposed to the sun all year round, resulting in the dense forest here is filled with all kinds of strange gases, among which biogas is the most concentrated.

The Harris Vanguard had to cross the Dead Water Forest because they had to make a detour through the city-state of China, and before they could get closer, an eerie and clammy feeling had already eaten away at the entire team.

Stepping on the soft soil of different shades under his feet, Yi Tian was resistant in his heart, because he had been detained in a water prison for a period of time when he was a teenager, so he had a natural fear of this cold swamp, and this soft and powerless swamp made him have no sense of security.

The water forest was full of large and small swamps, where horses were impassable, and the Harris vanguard had to abandon a large number of marchable horses and turn to walking, which also caused the wounded who had not recovered from serious injuries to be tortured, not only in the humid environment but also in the depths of this dangerous swamp, and no one knew what kind of danger lurked under the swamp.

The black and thick swamp kept spitting bubbles, and there were inexplicable things churning up from the bottom, every time Yi Tian's legs touched the swamp, he felt as if something was entangled around him below, although he could still move freely, but there was always a cold and cold feeling that had been with him under the swamp, and it could never be dissipated.

The fighters of the vanguard army walked

It's very slow, everyone knows the principle of the swamp, the faster you run, the deeper you sink, although the swamp only reaches the calf, but no one dares to joke with their lives, and who knows if there are other traps under this soft soil.

More than one soldier has reported that there are living creatures in the soft soil, but Feng is not impressed, and the people who can survive in this harsh environment must be soft insects, and these insects are theoretically not a threat to humans.

"Concentrate and get through here fast. ”

The soft soil under his feet is dark cyan, the same color as the surrounding dwarf forest, Yi Tian looked down several times, but he could only see the dark blue soft soil on the surface, and what was underneath them was not clear. The unknown birds in the dwarf forest have been chirping mournfully, and this sound has been with them since the team entered the forest, like a magic sound, which has always lingered in the ears of the soldiers of the vanguard army.

Ahh

Feng Meng turned his head, "What's going on!"

The sergeant was shocked, and said, "Feet, something swims under your feet............

"Calm down!"

Before Feng's words fell, several more female soldiers screamed.

"There's something ......"

"Ahh!!!hh

"It's... Bug ........."

Feng pulled out the dagger behind her and stared at the dark green mire in front of her, she seemed to feel the movement under her feet, and the most strange thing was that the worm wriggling under her feet was not the insect she imagined, but a slender creature with a cold surface.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Yi Tian shouted to the sergeants beside him, "It's the red lizard worm! This creature's eyesight is close to zero in this gloomy environment, and it usually relies on the vibration of sound waves to hunt for food, as long as you keep your body still, it will not feel your presence." ”

For a moment, the entire vanguard army froze in place, motionless.

"It's not a way to go on like this!"

"Every night the red lizard worms go into a deep sleep, and then we can move. ”

"It's not better to kill them directly. Feng said impatiently, it was getting closer and closer to the agreed day.

"It's the king of the swamp, we can't fight them, and if they get caught up in them, this army of yours will become their dinner. ”

Feng He had experienced this situation, in the past, she had always thought that the sword in her hand and the troops under her command were her invincible spears, and any enemy would be conquered by herself, but this time in the face of the current situation, Feng actually had an inexplicable sense of powerlessness, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Some things may work better while waiting than hard, and blindly rushing forward may bring more damage. Yi Tian's previous experience made him know that no matter how strong he is, he can't be stubborn in everything, maybe he will have unexpected gains if he waits occasionally.

The sky was getting dark, and through the intersecting branches and leaves, you could faintly feel the cool evening breeze, and the distant sky was a chaotic gray from beginning to end, just like the endless void, devouring all colored creatures.
