Chapter 353: Demon Grass Swamp

The Magic Grass Swamp, which is called the Endless Abyss by the locals, is actually just a large muddy lake, and the biggest feature of this muddy lake is that there is a kind of aquatic grass growing on the surface of the lake, which looks like bluegrass, lush and dense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis kind of grass floats on the surface of the lake, the roots are connected and then go deep into the silt at the bottom of the lake, it looks like a long and lush grass from a distance, the roots of the aquatic plants near the lake shore are relatively dense, and people can still bear it when they step on it, but the roots of those grasses far away from the lake shore can not maintain the weight of people, and when you step on a hole, people will sink......

The muddy lake is not without buoyancy, but the lake is full of long aquatic grass roots and deep silt, such a muddy lake even the king of the swamp crocodile dare not enter, because it is easy to be entangled in the root system of aquatic plants and cannot get out and be trapped alive. So in the magic grass swamp, except for insects, fish and shrimp, and snake frogs, there are not even larger animals. Even the slightly larger waterfowl do not dare to forage here, and they are afraid of getting entangled in the dense roots of aquatic plants......

Reddy is no stranger to this kind of magic grass swamp, in the first two years of the Northland's newly developed Beihai City, across the Lancang River, on the other side is the black mud swamp, the family has developed a small part of the black mud swamp on this side of the Northland into fertile farmland, but the black mud swamp on the other side of the Lancang River is still the habitat of the fierce and huge Monster Iron Spine Bay Crocodile.

Without the strength above the Silver Rank Fighting Spirit, it is impossible to cause damage to the Iron Spine Bay Crocodile, this is mainly due to the huge body size of the Iron Spine Bay Crocodile and its tough skin, and if the Fighting Qi does not reach the Silver Level, it cannot even leave traces on the crocodile skin. Because of this, the skin of the Iron Spine Bay crocodile became the first choice for the family's sailors of the Sea Legion, wearing leather armor made of crocodile skin is not only lightweight, highly defensive, but also increases buoyancy and breathability to keep warm. So the family hunted the crocodiles of Iron Ridge Bay in the black mud swamp for this purpose.

In order to develop the black mud swamp on this side of Beihai City and the territory, the family specially built two super steel crossbows to deal with the crocodiles in Iron Spine Bay. Lorist also pulled the carcass of one of the largest crocodiles he had hunted, to Beihai City, and made a specimen to place in the square, so much so that the square became known as Crocodile Square. The little ones also used the specimen of the ironridge crocodile as their playground, and their favorite thing was to crawl in and out of that gaping mouth......

I remember that when the family built the Baili Causeway along the Lancang River to connect the Turtle Mountain Fortress to Beihai City, the iron-ridged crocodiles in the black mud swamp on the opposite bank crossed the river in groups to attack the construction crowd, but unfortunately they all hated the huge crossbow arrows fired by the super steel crossbow. After the completion of the 100-mile causeway and the name of the Xiroba causeway, the crocodile on the opposite bank of the Iron Ridge Bay finally learned to be obedient and no longer crossed the river to seek its own death.

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain, the guard battalion guarding the Turtle Mountain Fortress was bored and discussed with the water military camp, and went to the shipyard to build two river boats ferrying on the Lancang River, and then put two super steel crossbows on the boat to hunt the Iron Ridge Bay crocodile resting on the river on the opposite bank, and after a while, there was no longer a single Iron Ridge Bay crocodile on the riverside. As the hunters descended into the black mud swamps on the other side, the carcasses of the Ironridge Bay crocodiles became the meat and leather raw materials of the Norton family.

The vast black mud swamp has only been explored by the Norton hunting party for less than a third of the area, and it is in this explored swamp that the hunting party has discovered several muddy lakes like the Magic Grass Swamp. At the beginning, the hunting team thought that there must be a lot of crocodiles hidden in such a dense meadow, so they simply sprinkled the grass with fire oil and forced those crocodiles to show themselves. Unexpectedly, after a fire burned these aquatic plants, I found that this is a large muddy lake, the lake is full of aquatic grass roots, just throw a hook down to pull up the small rhizomes like a hill, and even found a lot of ironridge Bay crocodiles have not yet decomposed corpses, it is estimated that they should have strayed into it and were trapped and died.

Reddy was invited by Paul Binns, who led the hunting party to the Black Mud Swamp, to go with him, and fell in love with the action of hunting Ironridge Bay crocodile, and his favorite thing to do was to challenge a small and medium-sized Iron Ridge Bay crocodile with a single sword, and regarded it as an opponent to hone his swordsmanship. After staying in the Black Grass Swamp for a long time, he was naturally familiar with muddy lakes like the Demon Grass Swamp, and when he found out that there were also such muddy lakes in the White Egret Lake Swamp, he wanted to use this Demon Grass Swamp to get out or leave a deep lesson for the pursuers.

Reddy had come here the night before, and was very happy to see such a large meadow in front of him, and it would be difficult to dig into it to find his whereabouts. But after taking two steps, he felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly poked down with his long sword, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat......

-Reddy cut down the bushes and two crooked-necked trees around the Magic Grass Swamp overnight, and mixed some rattan with a tattered leather armor that he still wore on his body, cut it into a rope, and began to lay it deep into the Magic Grass Swamp. Muddy lakes like the Magic Grass Swamp are not without buoyancy, mainly because people or animals fall down and struggle in panic, and it is easy for the rhizomes of aquatic plants in the lake to entangle, and the more they struggle, the more they entangle, and finally they are dragged to the bottom of the lake like a cocoon.

Even Reddy was careful when laying the small rafts of shrubs and broken planks into the depths of the Magic Grass Swamp, and the most important thing when falling into such a muddy lake was to stay calm and not make drastic movements, so as not to get entangled in the rhizomes of the aquatic plants in the lake. Float on the surface of the water first, let your hands gently grasp the aquatic plants floating on the water, slowly pull back, let the body slowly lean towards the shore, and be careful that your feet are entangled, so that you can hope to get out of trouble. Of course, there is a companion on the shore to rescue, that is the safest.

It's just that Reddy is now alone, and it took a night and morning to finally get it all set, and then lurk in a small swamp on the shore, waiting for the pursuit of the men and horses. In any case, he had to get some supplies from these pursuers, otherwise it would be difficult for him to survive the colder and colder weather that followed......

The first to arrive at the scene was the team of silver guards of the Fisabrun family led by the Cindy Swordsman, seeing Reddy's figure disappear into the lush grass, the Santi Swordsman scanned the corpses of the dozen or so soldiers on the ground, and ordered without thinking: "Go and search him out......"

"Yes!" replied a silver guard, and then rushed toward the meadow with a dozen of his companions.

The Elder Swordsman didn't think that these silver guards would be Reddy's opponents, she only hoped that these silver guards could entangle Reddy for a while, and as long as she arrived, she could easily clean up this Norton kid. For Reddy, the Cindy Great Swordsman still has a little impression, this is the taciturn squire beside Lorlist. I remember that Lorist once introduced that this was his eldest disciple Reddy. The Great Sword Master of Xiandi just thought it was funny at that time, how old was Lorist, and he even learned to put away his apprentices.

That was a few years ago...... At that time, the Norton family defeated the second prince's 100,000 army and swept through the Northlands, and the Archswordsman of Cindy and Princess Celevia were trapped in the Grand Duke's Mansion in Gildusk City, and simply captured Baron Saheen Henned, who came to take over the Grand Duke's Mansion, and his Golden Knight Tabek as hostages, and wanted to leave the Northlands with them. But he never thought that Lorist would break into the Grand Duke's Mansion alone, defeat Celivia first, and then defeat the Giant Swordsman of Cindy, forcing her to release the hostages. The ending was uneventful, and in the end Lorist personally escorted them out of the Northlands.

The Cindy Swordsman had always thought that Lorist's victory over him was just a coincidence and luck, and she couldn't help but shrink back when she was in the enemy realm, and she still had the strength to lose when she was defeated, while Lorist was so tired that she passed out of the Grand Duke's Mansion. So the Cindy Great Swordsman has always thought that Lorist is not her real opponent.

When returning to the family territory of the Eastern Wilderness Province, Princess Celivia got along very happily with the new head of the Norton family, and the great swordsman of Cindy also took the opportunity to figure out the origin of Lorist's swordsmanship through Princess Celivia's mouth. It turned out that this Earl Norton was practicing the cultivation techniques of the legendary Oriental warrior monk, no wonder it was so weird.

However, the great swordsman of Cindy was not optimistic about Lorist, even though Lorist pointed out the bottleneck problem she was facing in swordsmanship cultivation through Princess Celevia's mouth, which made her suddenly realize. But the great sword master of Xiandi didn't accept this feeling. She thought that without Lorlist's guidance, she would be able to spend months finding the weaknesses and faults in her swordsmanship cultivation. Lorist only realized because of a duel with her, and she thought that Lorist had gained more than her in the duel with her, and she had taken a big advantage.

Even if the great swordsman of Cindy despises Lorist very much, he has no ambition. There is a powerful family armed force but nests in the Northland as a shrinking turtle, it is not that someone else wants to move him before he thinks of counterattacking and so on, but she didn't expect her adopted daughter Celivia to have a good impression of Lorliste. This is something she will never allow. She hopes that Celevia will marry a hero in the future. Look at Lorist, his appearance is not outstanding, and his cultivation is also unreliable The exercises of the so-called Oriental warrior monks. Although the family background is a nobleman for hundreds of years, it has always been nested in the family territory, and compared with the Fisabrun family's support for the second prince to establish the Iberian kingdom across the steppe, it is really weak.

What makes the great swordsman of Xiandi helpless is that the world is changing too fast, which makes people feel dizzying. In the blink of an eye, I heard that the Norton family sent the third-level great swordsman Galinan to assassinate Lorist in order to avenge the second prince's behavior, and sent troops to the royal city of Windbrie to capture His Majesty, which is simply a big rebellion. At the same time, he defeated two Frontier Ranger regiments led by Viscount Christopher, leaving the Viscount and more than 15,000 soldiers prisoner.

In the face of such a bad situation, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun had to temporarily back down, and sent Princess Silivia to the Norton family territory to sign an order to exchange cattle and sheep for an extremely large amount of armaments, so that the viscount and the captured soldiers could be freed, in exchange for the favor and indifference of the Norton family, so that the Fisabrun family began to lie dormant and work hard for several years in order to rise......

Today's Fisabrun family has finally accumulated strong strength, from this point of view, the great swordsman of Xiandi once again despised Lorist, it is the greed of the Norton family and the pursuit of gold coins that have created the current powerful Fisabrun family armament, the Grand Duke is relying on the Norton family's continuous supply of cavalry equipment to create a powerful and invincible light cavalry arm, in one fell swoop to capture the large and small Jinchuan region, for the Fisaburun family to make up for the last shortcoming.

The Norton family could never have imagined how much the value of the cavalry standard equipment they had built would rise in the grassland, and how many grass barbarian tribes would bow down in front of the hooves of the Grand Duke's mount because of several sets of standard equipment...... The Cindy Swordsman sometimes thinks that if the Fisabrun family has the secret to building standard equipment, then they will not be like the Norton family, taking out these valuable standard equipment for gold coins and cattle and sheep to sell, which is simply the behavior of the enemy......

However, his beloved adopted daughter Princess Celivia fell in love with that Lorliste, which was really unacceptable in the eyes of the great swordsman of Cindy. But she knew her adopted daughter's temper very well, and she couldn't oppose it openly, and secretly advised her several times, but she couldn't save Cilivia's heart full of love and fantasy. In the end, there was no way, the great sword master of Xiandi used a big killing technique, and let Celivia retreat for a few years to practice seriously, and be promoted to the second gold star as soon as possible.

Perhaps the passage of time will make Celivia understand that her love is just an illusion. But she didn't expect that after four years, Celivia's lovesickness and love became more and more intense, and she actually went to the Northland alone to invite that Lorist to participate in the knightly tournament specially organized for her by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. Fortunately, the Grand Duke almost fell out with that Lorist at the knights' jousting tournament and did not agree to the Norton family's courtship. But Celivia did not attend the conference because of the death of the short-lived royal brother, but ran to the north to relax. Fortunately, I was always on the side, so I didn't let that hateful Lorist get my hands on it......

This time, as soon as he heard that the nephew closest to the Grand Duke had been killed by Reddy of the Norton family, the great swordsman of Cindy realized that this was a very good opportunity to sever the relationship between Celivia and Lorlist. So she volunteered to go and arrest this Reddy, once Reddy died in her own hands, then Lorist would not be willing to give up with the Fisabrun family, if the two become enemies, see how Celevia will marry the Norton family...... The Fisabrun family is a strong army, and the Great Justice is ready to integrate the forces of the Iberian kingdom into a single unit, and is not afraid to fight the Norton family's armed forces......

"Plop" "Plop" "Plop" ......

A series of falling water and screams, cries for help came, the Immortal Great Swordsman turned around quickly, but saw that only half of the dozen or so silver guards who rushed into the grass were still on the grass, their bodies were sinking, and there were countless small black-gray, blue-white lines wrapped around their bodies, and there were all kinds of aquatic grass leaves, these lines were more and more entangled, and the people sank faster and faster, the Immortal Great Swordsman was about to come forward to rescue, but saw a guard who was almost topless grabbed the hand of the companion who wanted to pull him up, and in the blink of an eye, the guard who wanted to save people was also wrapped with those lines and was pulled into the water......

How much time has this been! There are only three of the dozen silver guards left...... The three were a little smarter, although they were also calling for help, but they didn't dare to move again, and they also found that the faster they moved, the faster they sank. The Great Sword Master of Xiandi was terrified, but he didn't dare to take a step closer to the muddy lake, but just shouted at the soldiers who were rushing to this side in the distance: "Hurry, go and pull them up!"

Finally, the three silver guards were rescued by dragging, and a few local hunters came to tell the matter of the Demon Grass Swamp, and even the great swordsman of Xiandi was in trouble. I obviously saw that Reddy sneaking into the depths of this meadow, but I didn't expect that this meadow was a natural trap, so that the silver guards around him lost more than a dozen at once, what should I do if people can't get in now?

"Burn, burn this grass for me, I'll see how that bastard can stay in there. Without the cover of these demon grasses, as long as that bastard is revealed, we will know how he got inside, and it will be easy to catch him then!" said the Fairy Great Swordsman through gritted teeth.

"But, but Your Excellency the Great Sword Master, this demon grass swamp is too big, and we have to bring a lot of oil to it, otherwise the grass will not burn with a lot ......of moisture," said a soldier dressed as a captain.

"Then go and carry the oil! The rest of the people are setting up sentry posts around this magic grass swamp, don't let that bastard get out!"
