Chapter 66: The Swamp of Foul Words (2)
The endless night embraced the vast expanse of the land, and at the edge of the frontier of the frontier knight Lord Nell Austin, adjacent to the boneless wasteland of the Filthy Swamp, the campfires lit one after another coincidentally formed a line, like a strong line of defense against the cold mist from the swamp.

The team of adventurers in Blackwater Town, whose strength is second only to the Silver Hand of the Four Great Guilds, and the leader of the two-gun Kot deliberately arranged for four people to take turns to be on duty at night in front of the mage Rez.
Lu Bin saw that the named person had no complaints, and the disappointed person did not secretly rejoice in his emotions, it seemed that the leader's arrangement was normal, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he restrained his curiosity very well and did not talk too much.
The two-spear Kurt was very experienced, and his gaze had never been far from the mage Reze for a moment, and he had already seen the fleeting emotion on the face of the target person, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Lord Rez, I believe you should be able to understand how important it is to have a trustworthy companion to have a long night in a treacherous wilderness. ”
Lu Bin didn't fall into the trap, and nodded bluntly in agreement: "It's true for ordinary people, but I'm different from ordinary people!"
Kurt sighed in his heart: "Here it is again, the inexplicable superiority of the spellcaster, sometimes I really hate these megalomaniacs who can't take care of themselves in life!"
However, on the surface, he still patiently persuaded: "Your Excellency, not everything can be solved with spells, and some things can be handed over to trustworthy people, and some pressure can be shared." ”
Lu Bin chose to be silent this time, he knew that this was the case: "You are right, Mr. Coult. ”
Then, Lu Bin turned his back to the bonfire, and after a long time, he answered: "I'm used to being alone, and it's hard to trust strangers, especially those who approach with a purpose." Tomorrow's business, let's talk about it tonight. ”
Hearing this, the two-speared Kurt clenched his fists and shook them in front of him, and the adventurers of the Silver Hand were also infected, and their faces were much lighter, even if they were resting in the wilderness adjacent to the Everglades, they didn't feel anything.
Lu Bin held the one-handed sword found by Elunder in the elven kingdom in his arms, thinking that someone would not waste his mana on duty at night to summon undead creatures to guard, and quickly fell asleep.
The bleak night breeze blew slowly, and the bonfire, which had been re-burned with a few dry firewoods, was no longer the scorching flame of the earliest days.
In each of the campsites of adventurers or mercenaries, there are personnel who guard their posts, and will not get up until the time is almost certain to call someone else to replace them.
Time passed like water, and soon at midnight, the fog of the Filthy Swamp suddenly thickened, as if it erupted violently, and quickly spread to the surrounding area, especially in the area of the Dry Bone Wasteland, which was like a rising tide.
At the same time, some of the evil seeds that had been sleeping deep underground seemed to be awakened by demonic murmurs, and in the cold, damp night mist, they burrowed through the thick mud, revealing their serpent-like heads.
The half-flowered, half-creature conch poppy, after quietly climbing to the ground, blooms from tiny buds to petals at a speed visible to the eye, and then stays at this moment, does not continue to wither, and even bears fruit.
The core of the white forest, only the size of the thumb, is interspersed with tiny black spots, like a skull, and it begins to slowly erupt pollen, and the enticing fragrance blends in the mist and spreads outward, a taste that is not unstinting for the most insidious and cunning cold-blooded animal in the swamp.
Poisonous creatures snaked out of the cavern and slid unhappily in the direction where the scent wafted, and when the nearest viper combined with the conch poppy, they greedily swallowed the aroma of pollen and spewed out the venom in their bodies without hesitation.
Strange to say, the bead-shaped venom was sublimated by invisible magic before it hit the ground, mixed with the sweet mist, and contaminated it with a hint of deadly poison.
The poisonous mist, which seemed to possess life, was extremely spiritual, and rushed towards the dry bone wasteland where the life was at its best, threatening to poison them to death in their sleep, but the heat rising from the blazing bonfire stopped these hideous minions in time.
Lu Bin didn't know anything about this, but the elf one-handed sword in his arms had the effect of warning the enemy, although the handle of the silk sword was wrapped in strips of cloth, the sword body exuded a dazzling light.
Suddenly changed, Lu Bin immediately woke up from his light sleep, found the abnormal movement of the sword blade in his arms, and suddenly understood. Facing the nearby mist, he used the brilliance of the moon to vaguely see distorted human faces, opening his mouth and letting out a silent roar.
"Damn! this ...... What the hell. Well...... It doesn't seem to be close, so let me suck and watch. ”
Lu Bin quietly took out the book of the traveling mage, and directly summoned the passage connecting the buried bones, and a large cloud of black mist gushed out, like countless hungry piranhas, as if they had found delicious prey, they quickly pounced, tearing and swallowing the strange poisonous mist in a big gulp.
At the same time, a dark creature card is rapidly forming, and the haze swallowed by the Buried Bones is an immediate source of stability.
Dark haze, one-star black card, swamp creatures, countless tiny mosquitoes. No profession, highly toxic characteristics, pervasive, and difficult to eliminate. The summon costs 2 mana, 1d1 = 1 health, and 1 defense.
Flashing cards, pus-green swamps, rotting corpses floating on the water, tiny poisonous mosquitoes breeding on the water, and rapidly growing populations in desperate need of new hosts, carrying deadly plagues that spread everywhere, except for the hot flames and cold winds, there are few natural predators to restrain them.
The new dark creature card made Lu Bin's heart feel dark, especially the state of keeping the channel connected and open, constantly devouring the poisonous mist floating from the swamp, the only pity was that even so, this card was not upgraded.
"Two points of mana are a bit much, ordinary rune spells only consume a little mana, and these strange lives are also restrained by flames and ice, and it is estimated that they cannot adapt to extreme environments. Since the limit is so great, then its power ......"
Lu Bin noticed the three characteristics of the dark haze, especially the pervasiveness of the second one, and suddenly understood the power of this dark creature card.
Besides, the poisonous mist caused by the conch poppy and the swamp snake was still undead when it was blocked by the flames and heat, but it was constantly devoured by the buried bones, and even if these little creatures were ignorant, they seemed to feel the pain of cutting their flesh.
It's a pity that they are too deep in the ground, and the distance from the Whispering Swamp is also a bit far, even if they use the gecko's tail to survive, the total number has lost more than ninety percent, not only the vitality is greatly damaged, but even the seeds are almost not guaranteed.
The night wind swept through the remnant clouds at the right time, and the dense fog that could not be seen became a little faint, and the remnants of the poisonous fog fled in a panic, and the buzzing voice seemed to cry for the lost kind.
The Everglades don't believe in tears! Except for a few conch poppies that can bear fruit successfully, most of the others wither to death, and after this battle, the snakes of the swamp are also greatly injured and return to their burrows, ready to survive the long winter with the abundant reserves in their bodies.
Lu Bin inadvertently repelled the dark hand of the swamp, and obtained a unique dark creature card, knowing that he would be safe next, and continued to sleep contentedly.
The adventurer on duty at night heard the faint snoring, and couldn't help but envy the mage's calmness, he didn't know that he had already fought silently once, and "Lord Rez" not only won a big victory, but also saved everyone's lives.
The battered beast fled back to its lair in disarray, licking its wounds to recuperate, trying to recover as quickly as possible.
The long night passed in the tacit understanding of the two sides to strike and truce, and the continuous addition of firewood kept the campfire burning, and neither the poisonous fog nor the ordinary fog could get close to the adventurer's campsite.
When the late autumn sun shone on the land again, the adventurers who had spent the night in the Dry Bone Wasteland had already gotten up and packed their bags, and acquaintances greeted each other, and several senior mercenaries were very envious of the leader of the Silver Hand.
"Not far ahead is the Whispering Swamp, where the Revered Lord Nell Austin is said to have opened the way with blazing flames, filled the swamp with a large amount of mud and gravel, and finally paved the road to the Dark Wizard's Castle. Despite the ever-changing terrain of the Whisper Swamp, finding this old path should make it safe and quick to reach the ruined Murmur-level castle. ”
Backed by the growing power of the Silver Hand, the two-gun Kurt has his own channels to obtain some secret information, and when he tells the embarrassed "Mage Rez" the news of the wartime transportation route without reservation, Lu Bin knows that he owes a favor.
The military horse that was forcibly retired was very sticky to the new owner, and it did not stand still in the face of the dangerous swamp of foul language, but with its weight, it would fall into it if he was not careful in the soft swamp, which made Lu Bin very difficult.
Fortunately, the news of the Silver Hand's Cote generously helped him out of the siege, even if he deliberately approached with the purpose of wooing, Lu Bin couldn't help but express his gratitude.
"Mr. Cotte, can you find the entrance to this shortcut?"
The veteran adventurer found that His Excellency the Mage had taken the initiative to come over and ask, and immediately knew that the heavy bet he had added had indeed worked, "Of course! ”
