Volume 1 Chapter 10 The Burning of the Swamp
It is said that people who have experienced failure can learn to grow, but the main thing seems to be that some learning methods are needed, and Jiang Li is a person who can't learn well after suffering a lot of losses.
Since the destruction of the fire dragon, he has always had no doubt about his own strength, and he has not really understood the world, and Jiang Li in the jungle finally knew after another failure that as a brave man who was summoned, he was not really powerful, and the chosen one also needed to learn and train the day after tomorrow.
But what he said and what he had to do Jiang Li still had a number in his heart, on the one hand, if the lizardman's demon core was too important to him, after all, he was very lacking in blue, and the second aspect was that if he returned to Anzhou with a disgraced face, what would Jason think of him at that time, Green would definitely laugh at him, so, in terms of actual needs and face, if he couldn't destroy the lizardman, Jiang Li would not be able to go back to Anzhou City.
"Annoyed. Jiang Li sighed lightly, there was some helplessness in his eyes, in fact, he didn't have the clue to kill the lizard man at all, with his current magic power, even if he used tenth-order magic to raze the jungle, he wouldn't be able to run, he would definitely faint, and there was Jessica, if he fainted, if other demonic beasts came to attack, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive.
Thinking about Jiang Li's head, it's big.
"What's wrong with you?" Jessica asked softly, her voice a little soft, not quite the same as usual.
Jiang Li hung his head and sighed constantly.
"Sorrow, the sorrow in my heart. ”
"What the hell is going on? Jessica asked.
"I can't think of a way to kill the lizardmen. Jiang Li said with a sad face, his expression a little distorted.
"Then we'll be in Anzhou City. Jessica asked tentatively.
"Don't!" Jiang Li said categorically.
"Okay. Jessica was a little surprised, she knew that Jiang Li was stubborn, so she just tried to ask, but she also understood that if there was no magic core, Jiang Li would not go back, so she still gave up persuasion.
"Then let's go back to the jungle, I can't think of a way here. Jessica suggested.
Jiang Li thought about it and felt that what Jessica said was right, instead of worrying here, it was better to go to the field and have a look, and if it didn't get it right, there would be some gains, so he nodded and agreed.
The two set off again, back to the forest from which they had escaped.
On the way, Jiang Li was thinking about a question, before leaving, Jason had told him that there was not only a lizardman in the misty jungle, but there were also some other demonic beasts, but from the last time he entered the jungle to the time he escaped, he had not seen any other demonic beasts, and the commotion was so big, there was no reason why only the lizardmen came out.
"Could it be that he was eaten by the lizardmen?" Jiang Li said to himself in confusion.
"What did you eat?" Jessica looked at Jiang Li with a confused expression.
Jiang Li ignored Jessica, saying that he didn't pay attention to it, but he was actually thinking too carefully to notice what Jessica said.
"There's going to be a boss or something. "Jiang Li still goes his own way.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Jessica said in a loud voice, visibly angry.
But it was very effective, and Jiang Li came back to his senses.
"Oh, I'm wondering why I can't see other monsters in the jungle, Jason told me that there's more than one kind of monster in the jungle, but since we went in, we haven't seen any other monsters, so I think things are a little weird. ”
Listening to Jiang Li's words, Jessica also began to think, what Jiang Li said was indeed right, there was not only one kind of magical beast in the misty jungle, but there were many types of magical beasts, and it was impossible to only encounter lizard people.
"You think it's weird, right? Jiang Li asked.
Jessica nodded in agreement, but she really didn't have a clue, after all, she had also heard from Jason, she had only been in the jungle once.
Jiang Li saw that Jessica also frowned, so he dispelled the idea of getting some inspiration from Jessica, and he understood by looking at her, obviously she didn't know anything.
After worrying for a while, the two of them stopped thinking about it, and walked towards the jungle with their spirits, and Jiang Li also paid more attention to this.
The dark clouds in the sky for the past two days finally gathered to a certain extent, and as soon as the thunder passed, it began to pour down, and Jiang Li and Jessica suffered from it, and the two of them were instantly drenched into soup chickens, and it took a short run to find a leafy tree that barely sheltered from the rain.
Jiang Li trembled and looked at the clothes that were all wet on his body, thinking that he was in trouble, he didn't have any clothes to change at all.
Turning her head, she saw Jessica also trembling, trembling with only a thin shirt and green leather armor on her body, and her long legs under the short skirt were also trembling.
Jiang Li took out a blanket from the storage ring and put it on Jessica's head.
"At this time, if you catch a cold, it will be troublesome, you change your wet clothes first, and I will start a fire. ”
Jessica looked at Jiang Li blankly, her face flushed, and then walked behind the tree to change into her wet clothes.
Jiang Li skillfully lit the fire, looked at the clothes that were also wet, sighed helplessly, and took out a blanket from the storage ring.
By this time, Jessica had already changed into wet clothes, and the blanket was wrapped around her body. The long wet golden hair also hung down behind the pointed ears, and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made Jiang Li's throat a little dry.
Jessica didn't have a lot of clothes off her clothes, a pale green leather armor, a white thin shirt, a white undergarment, and a white pleated skirt, and a pure white underneath.
Jiang Li was a little confused, under the blanket wrap, he was naked!
"Ahem"
Seeing Jiang Li looking at her blankly, Jessica was a little embarrassed, so she pretended to cough twice.
"I'll set up a rack for you to dry your clothes. Jiang Li, who was frightened, hurriedly changed the topic and set up a stand for Jessica in embarrassment.
After the shelf was erected, both of them stared blankly at the flames, but Jessica desperately wrapped her body, and the blush on her face became thicker and thicker, and the atmosphere of the scene was embarrassing for a while.
Thinking about it carefully, since he went out until now, Jiang Li has fallen into this strange atmosphere with Jessica several times, Jiang Li smiled bitterly, thinking that he knew that he was not alone in the adventure.
"Ah sneeze~"
Jiang Li sneezed heavily.
"Take off your wet clothes and dry them, or you'll catch a cold." Jessica said with a blushing face, her voice was very small, and her head was so low that she could barely see her eyes, and it was obvious that it took a lot of courage to say this.
Jiang Li didn't refuse, nodded and walked behind the tree.
After a while, Jiang Li took out his wet clothes and hung them on the shelf, also wrapped tightly in a blanket.
The two sat across from each other and never spoke.
Thunderstorms come and go fast.
After the rain stopped, the fresh air spread instantly.
Looking at the first rays of sunlight shining through the clouds, my mood became a little lighter.
After the two changed their clothes to dry, they put out their torches and continued to walk towards the jungle.
By the time we reached the intersection of the jungle, the sun had almost disappeared at the end of the horizon, the sky was getting dark, and the lizardmen in the jungle began to forage for food.
For the arrival again, Jiang Li also had some bottom in his heart, and after drinking the magic potion, he recovered some magic power, if another accident happened, these magic powers would be enough for him to use flying magic to escape from the jungle with Jessica.
After the two of them learned the previous lesson, their pace was very slow, and they walked cautiously, and they were more steady.
When they returned to the swamp again, they were stunned again.
The last time they came, it wasn't yet night, so they woke up the sleeping lizardmen, and this time, the lizardmen had woken up and were eating.
What was in front of them surprised Jiang Li and Jessica. All the lizardmen are eating, eating some large monsters in the jungle, their size is several times larger than the lizardmen, the scene is too shocking, thousands of lizardmen are eating the corpses of the monsters, and not only large monsters, but also some smaller monsters and beasts living in the jungle.
Jiang Li found something special, these gnawed demonic beasts all had a long wound on their bodies, which was cut by a knife, and the area was very large, several meters long.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no presence in the lizardmen with a big knife, after the last battle Jiang Li found that the lizardmen generally attack with sharp claws and big mouths, of course, magic is also a means of attack, but no matter what, it is impossible for the lizardmen to cut out such a wound.
Jiang Li was once again confused.
The gnawed corpse was reduced to bones in a few moments. The lizardmen also crawled and rolled in the swamp contentedly, and the muddy water emitted a strange stench.
The stench that came to Jiang Li was somewhat familiar. Although it is roughly a putrid stench, there are some differences.
Jiang Li looked at the surroundings of the swamp, the bushes on the swamp were very dense, and the lizards were only crawling between the bushes.
"It's biogas!" Jiang Li finally remembered, this smell was the smell of the biogas digester used in his hometown when he was a child, biogas is a flammable thing, and it is formed by fermentation in a closed place by plants and manure.
Jiang Li came up with a good idea. The weird smile on her face made Jessica shudder.
"Jessica, I'll show you something nice later. Jiang Li smirked.
Jessica just nodded blankly, and didn't ask.
"Fourth Order Magic - Flying Magic"
After Jiang Li finished reciting the incantation, a burst of pale blue light enveloped the two, and then Jiang Li took Jessica's hand, and the two flew above the jungle.
Jiang Li was right, the bushes on the swamp had covered the swamp, and the lizards below could not be seen at all, only from the side.
Now Jiang Li has a bottom in his heart.
"Fifth Order Magic—Burning Plains. ”
Then a small magic circle appeared above the swamp, and after a while, a large amount of fire began to erupt from the magic array.
Rumble~
When the spark encountered the methane gas in the swamp, it exploded instantly, and the fire covered the entire swamp, and even the jungle on the side was implicated.
Looking at the rapidly spreading fire, as well as the twisted lizardmen in the sea of fire, Jiang Li's heart was happy.
Jessica's eyes were full of shock when she saw this thousand-meter fire, it turned out that this was high-level magic, which could create such a great power in an instant.
And Jiang Li was also a little worried, afraid that he would be arrested for burning the jungle.
When the fire was a little small, Jiang Li and Jessica fell to the ground, looking at the ground full of lizardman corpses, Jiang Li's heart was already happy.
"Rich, rich. Jiang Li rubbed his hands and said.
Jessica just smiled softly, she always had some ominous premonition in her heart.
Just as the two of them were happily collecting the magic core on the pile of corpses.
There was a bang in the swamp, and a giant lizardman several meters long appeared, and unlike the other lizardmen, this lizardman was standing, and it held a large knife equal to its height.
