Chapter 125: Bipedal Wyvern Swamp - Chapter 126: A Chance Encounter

The Sorcery Giant is one of the most common of the lower gods, and is a descendant of the Hundred-armed Giant, along with the Centaurs and the Hundred Eyes Oni.

Adult Evil Giants are at least at the peak of Silver Strength, while some elite Evil Giants can reach Gold Strength. And a very small number of the evil giants have inherited some of the abilities of the true gods, and they are born priests, known as believers, who can steal the power of faith to release divine magic, so they can reach the legendary realm, and are a very powerful monster of the outer realm.

Of course, the source of Goldman's bloodline will not be a believer in the evil magic giant, but an elite evil magic giant, so if there is no accident, the highest achievement in his life can only be golden, provided that he can maximize the bloodline talent in order to have such an achievement.

Therefore, Gorman will find another way to embark on the path of gaining the power of the abyssal demons. Because the Giant of Evil is also an inherently evil creature, the demon's evil chaotic power from the abyss does not conflict much with his bloodline.

However, as a creature who has studied the arcane, generally believes in wisdom above all else, is a prolific conspirator and operator, and belongs to the camp of evil neutrality, in this regard, there will be some obstacles to merging with the abyssal power of chaos and evil.

However, this obstacle is mainly reflected in the change of personality, and it does not have much impact on strength, so Gao Man will rarely see the calm and rigorous of the caster, and more reckless behavior like those demons, and sometimes make some crazy moves. It was all the result of his soul being affected by the chaotic nature of the demons.

Gao Man, who had recovered his injuries and strength, was very anxious for fear that someone would take the first step to take away the treasure, and he really didn't have the courage to rush into this dangerous place on the continent alone, and he didn't intend to let the others in the Blood Sword know this secret, so he secretly summoned a few demons every few days and ordered them to enter the swamp to explore the traces.

But the bipedal dragon swamp is worthy of being a top-ranked continental dangerous place, and the demons summoned by Gao Man are at least bronze strength, and many of them have the ability to fly, but they have never penetrated into the swamp for a hundred miles. Most of them are attacked and eaten by dangerous creatures in the swamp, and some unlucky demons are trapped in mud traps, and even with the powerful constitution of demonic creatures, they eventually struggle in vain and drown in the mire that has been sinking for years.

Only once was Gorman lucky enough to summon an aquatic demon from the abyss's stomach pouch and the saltwater swamp plane, which was the most suitable demon to survive in swampy and wetland environments. However, Gorman apparently underestimated the extent to which Doom favored him, and just as the demon was about to explore the depths of the swamp in the Betsysaur swamp, a troop of Wyverns was captured as prey in their lair.

Wyverns aren't necessarily the most powerful creatures in the swamp, but they're undoubtedly the most dangerous creatures here. Just look at the fact that this swamp is named after the bipedal wyvern, and you can see that it is representative.

Whether it is its huge size, sharp claws, or the deadly toxins it carries, the individual strength of the bipedal wyvern is not inferior to the strength of the fifth-level demonic beasts, and the most terrifying thing is that this wurm creature with dragon blood is social in groups. And it's not the kind of three or two together, but the number of members of each tribe is as high as hundreds or even nearly thousands.

In the face of this kind of wurm creatures that appear in groups, even **-level demonic beasts have to temporarily avoid their edge, and only the golden holy beasts above level nine will not be afraid of their numerical superiority.

It's been three months since he came to the Six Towns in the South, but Gorman hasn't even seen a shadow of the Arcanist's ruins, but he is unwilling to give up, so he can only continue to waste materials to summon demons to explore.

Fortunately, the cost of this temporary way of summoning demons is not too great, and it is relatively easy to gather materials.

It's just that as a sorcerer, he can't fully control the types of demons he summons, and he hasn't summoned aquatic demons since the death of the demon from the saltwater swamp.

That's why Gorman is so depressed and frustrated, and he has the heart to explore again, but it will take a few days to summon the demon again before he can gather the materials and sign the contract again.

At this time, Donald and the others flew directly by airship from the six southern towns to the depths of the swamp.

In the airship cabin, Ferdinand asked:

"Donald, why don't we go down and find a guide who is familiar with the swamp terrain and just fly right in?"

Donald asked rhetorically, "I've heard that the Betsysaur Swamp is so dangerous that no one can penetrate into it, and the place we're going to is obviously located deep in the swamp, so what's the use of hiring a guide?"

Edwina continued:

"Donald is right, we are operating in secret, the situation about the Arcanist's ruins cannot be known to outsiders, and the depths of the swamp are more dangerous than you think, and it is a burden to bring a guide!"

Ferdinand had also been on a mission to the Six Towns in the South last time, and had heard from the locals that the swamps were dangerous, and that only the best guides would be able to find a place to stay in them, and would not be swallowed up by the swamps.

However, after hearing the words of his mother and Donald, he quickly figured out that four of the eight people in his group were mages, and there were also two silver masters, and it was undoubtedly much easier than any guide to find a place to stay.

But then he worried:

"I remember hearing from the locals that not only is there a hidden danger in the swamp, but there will also be a lot of flying monsters in the sky, and once they enter the range of the opponent's domain, they will encounter fierce attacks, which is why very few mages will fly here!"

When Donald heard this, he remembered that the swampy wetlands in his previous life were also home to some aquatic birds and natural hunting grounds, and he did not doubt this. However, long before entering the swamp, he had already arranged an owl escort in the front and rear of the airship, and if there was a danger approaching, they would immediately detect it, giving Donald time to prepare for the crisis.

The Betty Dragon Swamp is worthy of being one of the most dangerous places in the continent, and it is indeed even more dangerous than the Green Cloak Forest, and Donald didn't expect that they had just entered the depths of the swamp and encountered a fifth-level demonic beast.

"I really got it right by Ferdinand, your crow's mouth, my owl detected that there were two flying monsters approaching quickly in the air a few miles ahead, everyone fasten their seat belts, we're going to land!"

With that, Donald immediately ordered the two goblin pilots to control the airship to land. Because the goblin airship has no attack ability, once the battle starts in the air, it is easy to affect the safety of the airship, once the airship crashes, the four of them mages are better, with a variety of spells such as falling feathers, levitation, and flying to escape, Ferdinand and the four swordsmen are about to fall into a meat pie.

The airship made a rapid forced landing, and the weightlessness formed made the four swordsmen in the cabin feel uncomfortable, and they all experienced this situation for the first time, and they all experienced different degrees of dizziness and nausea.

This is because they are all powerful professionals, if they were ordinary people, they would have vomited unbearably and even had blood congestion in their noses and ears.

On the contrary, several mages have many experiences of flying in the air, so their adaptability is stronger than that of several swordsmen, and they are only slightly uncomfortable.

It may be that they found that their prey was descending and absconding, and the two flying monsters also immediately descended with the airship, but they were already some distance away from the airship, and when they finally approached the airship, Donald and they had successfully landed.

As soon as the airship was suspended and stopped more than ten feet above the ground, the four swordsmen immediately drew their weapons and flew out, regardless of their physical discomfort.

Warrior class class prioritizes protecting spellcaster class when fighting, a tradition that has been passed down in this world since ancient times. It is also the experience accumulated by countless professionals who have fought side by side, and as long as the caster is given a safe and stable casting environment, it will become extremely easy to deal with the enemy.

Two flying monsters swooped over, and only then did everyone realize that these were two eagle-shaped birds and beasts. The color of the gray servant's feathers and fierce appearance did not have the handsomeness of an ordinary falcon at all, but looked very ugly.

"Level 5 Demonic Beast Scavenging Vultures!Don't come into contact with their claws, there are toxins on them......"

Old Mage Messer shouted from behind.

With Messer's reminder, the four swordsmen were prepared, and the long swords in their hands were wielded impermeable, blocking all the attacks of the two scavengers.

At this time, Donald had already put away the airship, and when he saw this, he summoned two crypt demons on the spot, and saw two sticky cobwebs spraying towards the scavenging vultures that were fighting with the four swordsmen, and instantly caught the two ugly birds.

"Wait!"

The two silver swordsmen were about to swing their swords to kill the killer when they heard Ferdinand shout.

"It's better not to see blood in the swamp, otherwise it will attract a lot of bloodthirsty creatures, and the others are easy to deal with, if it's a group of demon insects like vampire leeches and swamp poisonous mosquitoes, it's bad!"

The thought of being surrounded by a large group of blood-sucking mosquitoes made everyone's scalp tingle.

Ferdinand and the three silver swordsmen looked at the two bird monsters that were still struggling in the cobwebs, and they all felt a little nowhere to start.

At this time, Donald suddenly thought of something and said:

"Teacher, Lady Edwina, these two magical beasts still have some value, so I'm welcome!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and released a crystal cold and frozen gas, which erupted between the two demonic beasts, turning them into frozen statues in an instant.

Then Donald waved away the two ice sculptures with a wave of surprise from the swordsmen and the approving glances of the two silver mages.

It was his thought that there was no living creature in his storage space, and once a creature entered it, it would only turn into a corpse in a matter of seconds. And there is no air and temperature in it, although the frost nova can't keep the target frozen for a long time, but the frozen state is put into space, so as long as it is not taken out, it will never melt, and the two flying monsters will also die quickly in the frozen state.

So he came up with such a simple and neat solution, and dealt with the two scavenging vultures and the potential threat that they might pose after killing them.

"What do we do next?"

When confronted with Ferdinand's inquiry, Donald replied:

"It's not okay to continue flying at high altitude, if you continue to be attacked, you have to land every time, but it will be a big waste of our time, and the swamp environment is also a threat if you walk, it seems that you can only fly low altitude close to the ground, everyone get on the airship!"

This decision was strongly supported by Edwina, for the eldest princess and the marquise, although as a mage, she did not have the squeamishness of ordinary noble ladies and misses, but the muddy environment in the swamp and the smell of ** were too unbearable. Especially a woman.

As for the other men, although they don't have any serious cleanliness habits, it is also a good choice for them to be able to walk without walking in dirty muddy water.

Chapter 126 Coincidence (Congratulations to the Infinite Publishing House, thank you for becoming the hall master of this book, thank you Qing Linshu for becoming the hall master of this book, thank you for your support!) After an aerial attack, Donald took out the goblin airship again, and after everyone got on the airship, he began to fly at a low altitude, and ordered the two crypt demons to follow the escort on the ground.

Crypt demons are perennial in underground caverns and are good at sneaking into the ground, so in the swampy environment, they also have some action advantages, as long as they are not too soft in the muddy area, they can rely on the strength of their abdomen to quickly skim over their eight legs without falling into it.

Standing on the deck of the airship, Donald took out the mysterious map that he had translated, and copied it from the library of the Mage Guild, including a translation of this ancient magic language.

When he was high above the six towns in the south before, he had already compared the terrain around the swamp and found a general direction.

After all, after thousands of years, the topography of ordinary places will change, and places like the Bipedal Dragon Swamp are even more vicissitudes and changes greatly.

However, although the swamp landscape is changeable and moves slowly all the time, the surrounding mountains and rivers still leave some places that have not changed much as a reference, and a simple comparison of some mountain trends and the position of the stars, Donald still found a general direction, and it is much better to follow this direction than for them to run around in a dangerous swamp.

After entering the swamp, every once in a while, Donald would take out the map to reconfirm the bearing, so as not to lose his way unconsciously, which is also a common phenomenon in this large swamp full of mud as far as the eye can see!

And he has always kept four owls exploring in four directions, front, back, left and right, striving to be able to detect some unknown dangers in advance.

It's just that the owl's perspective can only be maintained in the air and above the surface, and the dangers lurking in the swamp mud and the depths below the surface of the water are still unavoidable.

So I have encountered many attacks along the way, and the strength of those swamp creatures is not much that can reach the level of high-level magical beasts, but only under the sudden sneak attack will people be hit, after all, it is impossible for anyone to always guard the feet around them.

However, the Crypt Demon's sensory system is different from that of humans, and it is more sensitive to the situation underground, so it is often able to predict dangerous sneak attacks in advance, and the sneak attack is changed to an attack on the surface, and the danger is greatly reduced, and Donald once again uses the old method to add a dozen ice sculptures to his storage space.

In this way, after two days of traveling in the seemingly boundless swamp, Donald calculated through observation that he and the others should be only about a third of the way to their destination.

"Great, these dreary days are finally over!"

Ferdinand was the first to exclaim with joy. Hurrying in the gray swamp all day long, and having to be nervous all the time and not relaxing, the three silver swordsmen and the two silver mages who were no longer young people were still calm, either meditating and cultivating, or doing some small experiments in the airship. As for Kael'thas, not to mention, he is accumulating strength all the time, hoping to bring more help to his master. But for the two young men, Ferdinand and Donald, it was more unbearable.

Donald looked amused in his heart, although Ferdinand looked serious in the army, he was actually more cheerful and a little slippery. Like his father, they are all the kind of people whose actual temperament is very different from what they seem on the surface. In the more popular words of the previous life, it is sullen!

Of course, if you think about it, he won't say it to Ferdinand.

In contrast, Donald himself was not so dull and boring, except for observing his surroundings through the eyes of an owl every once in a while, and studying the ancient map, the rest of the time, Donald was studying the spell books given to him by his teacher.

Donald has only mastered seven of the fourth-level spells that can be learned in the early stage of bronze, but because his own strength is not comparable to that of ordinary mages, he can easily cast spells by leapfrogging, so he has also mastered two fifth-level spells at present.

Among the five levels of spells, the two spells he mastered were auxiliary spells, the two spells of fossil to mud and mud to stone could be reversed from each other, so they were counted as one spell, and the other was the magic constancy technique handed down from ancient times, which could constanize spells that did not exceed the level of their own casting on an object or creature, making them permanently effective. However, the price is to permanently deduct a part of the corresponding mental power. Although it is possible to recover slowly after casting, it will also downgrade the mage who performed Constant Spell before it is restored. And the more powerful the spell is, the greater the cost, even permanent damage.

These two highest-level spells that Donald currently has mastered are basically useless in battle. Therefore, he still has to rely on the few gifted spells and summoned creatures given by the Book of Truth to fight.

The goblin airship was moving at a low speed, and suddenly Donald's face changed, cutting off the perspective of the owl in front of him.

At the same time, Messer and Edwina, the two silver mages, also sensed that something was happening, and they couldn't help but look at Donald.

"I think we're in trouble!"

Donald said with a solemn expression:

Ferdinand immediately asked, "What's the trouble?

"It's even more troublesome than that, there is a human adventure team in front of us that has been attacked by swamp monsters!

"So what are you waiting for?

Ferdinand said with some impatience.

Edwina said to Donald, "Are you worried that the purpose of our actions will be discovered by the other party?"

"Not bad!" Donald nodded.

Messer said at this time: "No matter what, as human beings, we should not see death without help, not to mention that according to Donald's discovery, our strength is still superior to that of the other party, so it is good to see the purpose of the other party! Otherwise, even if we bypass the other party, how can we know if the other party's direction is the same as ours?"

Messer was thoughtful, and as soon as he said this, the other seven agreed.

So Donald immediately ordered the airship to fly at full speed and approach the battlefield ahead.

This is a rare large piece of land in the swamp, with a lot of lush shrub vegetation, and it is a full nature reserve in the previous life. It's just that all of this has been damaged a lot by the fierce fighting between the two sides, and an oasis-like island in the gray and black swamp is now a mess.

Attacking the human adventurers were some large black-green lizards, one of them was at least two people tall, and they were also terrifying, just by looking at the sharp fangs that these guys were not vegetarians.

Looking at those adventurers again, there are two mages, two bronze peak swordsmen, and a silver-level powerhouse, which is a very rare warrior who uses a bow and arrow, although Donald has never seen it, but he has also heard of it, and his real professional title should be a marksman. As for the two mages, one old and one young, a man and a woman, Donald quickly identified them as the nobleman Gardret with whom he had communicated at the auction hall of the royal capital a few months earlier.

The rest of the man was dressed differently from the five, dressed in dirty leather armor, unkempt, and holding a large axe, and at a glance he knew that he was not the same as the five. This Donald had also seen it, wasn't it the most famous bounty hunter in the kingdom who was also in the auction hall at the time, the decapitated one?

As for how they came together, Donald didn't care, he had a good impression of them at the time, and he couldn't sit idly by in such a situation.

And Ferdinand's eyesight is almost less than that of Donald, who has been transformed by heroic talent, and he has seen the appearance of those people, so he naturally remembers the identity of the other party, and is giving a brief introduction to his mother and others at this time.

After listening to the other party's origin, Edwina's face improved a lot, and she said, "The person from Gadred is much easier to do!"

The implication was that even if they knew about the ruins, they wouldn't have spread it around Celt. As for Gardre's reaction afterwards, it was too far away to make much of a storm in Celt.

And at that time, they had already swept away the things in the ruins, and with the status and power of the Ansel family in Celt, except for the royal family of Celt, who were also descendants of the Bannai Empire, there was basically no power for them to take into account.

Even if it is a behemoth like the Mage Guild, they will not be afraid, because in terms of the interests of the kingdom, Ansel and the Celt families are together, as an alliance for thousands of years, any factor that threatens the stability of the kingdom of Celt will face a comprehensive sweep by the two ancient families.

There are five great golden mages in the Seesmith Guild, but in the face of the hidden power behind the two ancient families, there are still some things that are not enough. Donald could have inferred this from the strong will he felt at the auction.

An ancient family like theirs can continue to this day, and naturally has its own philosophy and heritage. Know the truth that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and contention is harmful.

This is the biggest reason why Donald chose to cooperate with the Ansel family and befriend the royal family through the old fox of Angwana.

"A few friends of Gardre, do you need our help?"

Donald shouted when he was more than a thousand steps away from the oasis island.

In fact, several people on the island had already noticed Donald's arrival. After all, the size of an airship capable of carrying ten passengers is not small, and the length of the airship itself alone is almost thirty feet, not counting the flying airbag equipment on it.

The airship slowly approached the island, and at this time, the young mage who was protected between several men suddenly pointed at Donald on the deck of the airship and shouted:

"You're not...... His Excellency the Baron at the auction?"

"Not bad!"

Donald replied with a smile. At the same time, three frost novas were released in a row, freezing more than a dozen large lizards that were climbing onto the island and preparing to attack.

Then he ordered the two crypt demons to step forward to drive away the remaining monitor lizards, after only three powerful spells, and the girl mage took the opportunity to kill a few heads, these giant lizards that were originally only three or four levels of demonic beasts only occupied a numerical advantage, and at this time they lost nearly half of their companions at once, so all the monitor lizards retreated, but after a while, they dived into the muddy water and slipped away.

There were only a dozen frozen monitor lizard ice sculptures left, and seven or eight corpses.

(To be continued)
