Chapter 76: The Swamp (1)

The smell of rotting plants filled his nose, the mud beneath his feet made it difficult to walk, and the surroundings were all gray and green of defeat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoMakoto Tatsuno wiped off the unknown liquid attached to his face, and looked impatiently at the little insects crawling around him. The samurai costume on his body has lost its former brilliance, and now Makoto Tatsuno is as embarrassed as a mouse that has just crawled out of the ditch.

It's been a long time since I left the City of the Chosen One, and it's so long that Makoto Tatsuno can't remember it clearly. Makoto Tatsuno, who was only thinking about leaving that day, did not have a clear goal, but just walked aimlessly, until Makoto Tatsuno suddenly felt hungry and found that he had no money on him.

This situation made Tatsuno Makoto extremely embarrassed, no matter what he was going to do, he couldn't do without money, even if he went into seclusion, he needed to use money to buy some necessities of life. Makoto Tatsuno, who had been hunting outside the city for two days, found that this way of life was really not suitable for solving the mystery, so he had no choice but to go into a town with an unknown name, find the bounty hunter union and start taking commissions to earn money.

After some screening, Makoto Tatsuno finally settled on a commission to go to the swamp near the city to find the missing expedition team. The reason for choosing this commission is very frustrating, because this is the environment of the exploration site commissioned by the union and the environment is extremely bad, so a part of the honorarium is paid in advance. Relying on this honorarium, Makoto Tatsuno prepared simple necessities and plunged headlong into the swamp.

I originally thought that this was a very easy commission to complete, but what I didn't expect was that after arriving in this swamp, Makoto Tatsuno suddenly found himself lost after a few days of going around and around. This is definitely a situation that Tatsuno Makoto did not expect, and eighty percent of the expedition team that originally thought that the missing expedition was all buried in this swamp, so Tatsuno Makoto felt that as long as he found some proof objects, it would be fine.

Makoto Tatsuno, who had such an idea, did not pay for the intelligence, of course, this was directly related to the fact that he did not have any extra money. But this situation in front of him made Tatsuno Makoto regret what he did at the beginning, but now it is too late to regret it, so he can only stubbornly search for the missing expedition team in the rancid mud.

Holding back the unpleasant smell, Makoto Tatsuno simply ate a little. This kind of search and tracking is really not what I am good at, and I knew that it would be better to find a direct commission such as an assassination. Makoto Tatsuno, who was secretly regretting it, suddenly heard a hissing sound, and following the direction from which the sound came, Makoto Tatsuno stood up and walked over directly.

Followed by goosebumps crawling all over Tatsuno Makoto's body, in front of him were dense spiders, large and small flowers were black, although there was no intention to attack, but such a scene would not be comfortable for normal people.

And these spiders in front of them seemed to be hiding from something, and their minds were surging in the direction of Makoto Tatsuno. It stands to reason that although spiders are very creepy, they are relatively low-key, and occasionally they are aggressive and set traps to catch their prey, so large-scale migration is definitely not in line with the characteristics of spiders.

Something must be strange when something goes wrong, Tatsuno Makoto carefully continued to move forward in the direction where the spider crawled, the spider made a popping cracking sound under Tatsuno Makoto's feet, Tatsuno Makoto strode forward despite this disgusting sound.

Passing through the vine-strewn trees, the fleeing spiders gradually disappeared, but the road became more difficult to land. Even in this environment, Makoto Tatsuno still hasn't forgotten the commission he accepted. This is entirely due to the practical problem of lack of money, otherwise Makoto Tatsuno would not be scurrying around like a ditch rat in this kind of place.

Seeing that there were no more creatures left in the vicinity, Makoto Tatsuno was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something. Reaching out and touching it, he fished out a broken sword from the mud, which should have been broken by something hard. The hilt of the sword is wrapped with white spider silk, but neither the toughness nor the length of the sword is the silk spit out by ordinary spiders.

The spider that spits out this spider must be the size of an adult horse! Just as Makoto Tatsuno was thinking about the size of this spider, a huge bubble suddenly bulged in the swamp, followed by a creature with a naked female upper body and a huge spider with a large body hanging in mud in front of Makoto Tatsuno.

"Hiss!"

Looking at Makoto Tatsuno in front of him, the monster let out a strange cry. Four pairs of steps on the mud seemed to be walking on flat ground, rushing towards Makoto Tatsuno.

Tatsuno Makoto didn't have time to think about it, and as soon as he dodged the teeth that pounced on him, he felt a gust of wind above his head, and hurriedly waved the broken sword in his hand upward. A huge impact came from the broken sword, and Tatsuno Makoto tilted his body and took two steps back.

This monster looks like a slender upper body, but it has a lot of strength! Only then did Tatsuno Makoto see clearly that this monster's limbs, which looked like a young woman, held a giant axe in each hand. The six red eyes of the spider on the lower body stared at Makoto Tatsuno tightly, the huge teeth were hung with transparent slime, and the black spinners behind him were covered with red patterns.

Seeing that his attack did not work, the monster rushed towards Makoto Tatsuno again, and the giant axe slashed downwards with the wind. Makoto Tatsuno rolled forward in the mud and flashed the giant axe that slashed at him, the broken sword stabbing into the monster's bulging abdomen.

With a ding, the broken sword was bounced open by the armor piece in the abdomen, Tatsuno Makoto was not surprised by this situation, the broken sword was turned behind him, and his left hand was imprinted on the armor of the monster.

"Collapse!"

With a loud cry from Makoto Tatsuno, the monster's body shook and let out a painful hiss, turning and fleeing into the depths of the swamp. Tatsuno Makoto followed closely behind with the broken sword, looking at the appearance of this broken sword, eighty percent of the expedition team was used as food by this thing. Although Makoto Tatsuno has little interest in killing this thing, he may be able to find some relics of the expedition team in its lair, which can be regarded as a reluctant completion of the commission.

Now Makoto Tatsuno just wants to quickly complete the commission, save some money and then go to investigate the mystery he knows. But the silt of the swamp is really not suitable for Tatsuno Makoto's action, and the kung fu monster that followed for a while has disappeared from Tatsuno Makoto's sight, but fortunately, the palm just now injured the monster, and the white slime was particularly obvious on the silt.

Finally, the white slime disappeared into a cloud of mud, and the monster had long since disappeared.

"It must be hiding under this sludge!"

As soon as Makoto Tatsuno took a step forward, he found that his feet were soft, and a huge suction force pulled downward. Makoto Tatsuno stabbed the broken sword into the tree next to him with his backhand, and with this fulcrum, he twisted his body out of the sludge.

"It's so troublesome! I still want to keep the spell to deal with the female spider just now, but it seems that I can't keep it. ā€

Makoto Tatsuno looked around, this place didn't know where it was at all, and Makoto Tatsuno, who was originally lost, didn't care where he was now. I was about to use a spell to blow up the nest of the mother spider, but after thinking about it, with the power of my spell, I might even blow up the nest and the mother spider to slag.

I don't care about the life or death of the female spider, but if the relics of the expedition team are also blown up, my first commission will be in vain.

"What a hassle!"

Makoto Tatsuno was tired of this kind of situation where he had to think about it before and after making a move, he shouted and stared at the swamp in front of him. Then he showed a smile, vented his emotions, and his brain became a lot clearer, but it was not difficult for him to change the landscape.
