Chapter 139: Sea of Scarlet Worms
After eating breakfast casually, An Wenxuan and his party began to move forward again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info along the way, An Wenxuan found opportunities to tease the concubine from time to time, but this chick seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, so she didn't ignore him.
"Harley, how long will it be before we can get through this swamp? "Lan Tian has no energy, and his weak physique is about to be unbearable.
Harley took out the map and looked at it carefully, and said, "Soon, at our speed, we can walk through this swamp in just one day." ”
Hearing that it only takes one day to walk through the swamp, everyone can't help but be shocked, and after passing the swamp, it means that they have arrived at the abandoned city, and for a while everyone's mood is happy, and they start to talk and laugh along the way.
In order to get out of this smoky ghost place as soon as possible, everyone invariably sped up.
"Wow, what do you see up ahead?" exclaimed Lucia in surprise.
Everyone stopped, smiles of ecstasy on their faces, and a lush, undulating hill could be faintly seen in the distance, indicating that the edge of the swamp was not far ahead.
"Everyone, work hard, and we'll be able to get out of this damn swamp in no time. Harley exclaimed, it was the swamp that had swallowed up the two members of his adventure party, and although they were to blame, it would be more dangerous without two helpers, and he knew that the swamp was not terrible, and that their destination, the Forsaken City, was the most terrible place.
But when the elated seven rushed to the edge of the swamp, all of them gasped, and the excitement just now disappeared without a trace. Three hundred meters away was a green meadow, but this three hundred meters wide area was a real place of death, a muddy swamp crawling with blood-red insects, the kind of terrifying insects that gnawed Gretel and Shi Yan to their bones in an instant.
"Harley, what should I do, is there a mark on the map, how to pass?" Lan Tian looked at the blood-colored sea of insects, his face was pale, he didn't want to end up like Gretel and them.
Harley shook his head, his face solemn as ever, he took out the map and looked at it over and over again, the route everyone had taken was exactly as marked on the map, but the map did not indicate that there were such terrifying insects here.
"It's over, our efforts have been in vain. Lan Tian sighed, he really didn't have the confidence to pass the last three hundred meters.
At this time, Murong Fengwu, Manniu, Lucia and Concubine Xuan all looked at An Wenxuan reflexively, in their subconscious, they had already looked at him first, and as for Harley, the captain, they couldn't believe it.
An Wenxuan also looked at this sea of insects in a daze, he couldn't think of how to rush over for a while, but he noticed that these blood-red insects seemed to only stay in this three-hundred-meter-wide muddy swamp, and none of them exceeded the boundary, he wondered if this could be artificial? Otherwise, how could these insects be so obedient.
"Unless we all know how to float, we won't be able to get by. Harley said depressedly.
"Even if we all know how to levitate, there's a good chance we'll not get by. An Wenxuan smiled bitterly.
"How?" asked Harley.
An Wenxuan tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of the clothes in the space ring, wrapped two handfuls of dirt in it, and threw it into the sky above the sea of insects under the puzzled eyes of several people. I saw that the mud bag had just rushed into the sky above this sea of insects, and the insects that had just crawled on the swamp let out a piercing cry.
The whole sky was enveloped in a red cloud in an instant, but immediately the blood-red insects fell again, and the mud bag had long since lost a single strand of it.
"See, unless we can fly to an altitude of 500 meters, we don't want to go there. An Wenxuan said.
Now everyone is silent, they can't fly, what else can they do? Is it really going to be a failure?
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, everyone was at a loss, and in desperation, Harley had to order everyone to camp on the spot and think of a way to do it at night.
As everyone set up camp and prepared to rest, the last rays of the sun sank into the horizon, and the whole world became dark. But at this moment, An Wenxuan and the others all opened their mouths wide, and looked at the sea of insects one by one in a daze.
"Wow, that's beautiful. Murong Fengwu and Lucia couldn't help but say, no one thought that these evil insects that eat people and don't spit out bones would actually glow at night, and they were so red that they were crystal clear and beautiful, so that hundreds of millions of such red insects formed a meandering red sea with no edge, and they looked so beautiful and bewitching in the dark night.
The seven of them stood there in a daze, silently looking at the magnificent sea of insects under the night. I don't know how long later, gurgling bubbles suddenly appeared in the fiery sea of insects, and crocodile-like reptiles emerged from the swamp, they were extremely ugly, their protruding triangular eyes emitted a green glow, and their mouths were long, full of sharp teeth, a bit similar to the alligators on the earth, but much more ferocious. Strangely, the blood-red insects do not attack them, but scatter as soon as they encounter them.
"What is this?" An Wenxuan asked, seeing these crocodile-like animals he seemed to have caught something, but he didn't know very well.
"This is a swamp man-eating beast, often thousands of them live together, as long as they fall into the swamp, neither the Sword Master nor the Grand Magister will escape death, this terrible insect is enough to give people a headache, and now there are more of these man-eating beasts, can we really just stop here? I am really unwilling. Halley shook his head and sighed, and the man was lonely in the tent.
In order to enter the Abandoned City, An Wenxuan deliberately exchanged merit points for the Great Shift of Qiankun and several Buddhism masteries that restrained the dark attribute for cultivation.
In the middle of the night, An Wenxuan woke up from his cultivation, and he always felt that he seemed to have thought of a way to pass through this swamp, but it was a little vague, and he couldn't grasp the key every time he thought of it.
An Wenxuan walked out of the tent, and the fiery sea of insects was still shining. He walked to the edge of the swamp and sat down, looking at these insects and the swamp man-eating beasts in a daze, the man-eating beasts obviously noticed An Wenxuan, and surrounded dozens of them at once, but they didn't dare to cross the line like those blood-red insects.
Shi Feixuan looked at the figure sitting on the edge of the swamp, her expression was very complicated, and the script that stepped out was able to pull back. She was also troubled by not being able to get past that swamp, but it was nothing compared to the troubles brought by this man.
In the past few days, An Wenxuan has been teasing her and coaxing her to be happy, she sees it in her eyes, but she still doesn't dare to face it, and from An Wenxuan's language, she has the meaning of accepting herself, but she is suddenly afraid, afraid that this is a gorgeous soap bubble that will break when you touch it in the sun.
"When you wake up, come and sit down. Just when Concubine Xuan wanted to retract, An Wenxuan's voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Shi Feixuan just hesitated for a moment and then walked towards An Wenxuan.
Concubine Xuan sat down next to An Wenxuan, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she asked a nonsense after a while: "Can't you sleep?"
An Wenxuan turned his head and smiled, he didn't care what Concubine Xuan said, the important thing was that she took the initiative to talk to herself, which was enough to make him happy. An Wenxuan stared at Concubine Xuan, and the half-bright moon was just embedded in the night sky where her face was heading, bathing her in the gentle moonlight. It also emphasizes that she has a beautiful silhouette that is born from the aura of heaven and earth, like a river mountain. She has a pair of very beautiful eyes on her face, shining like a starry sky.
"You, why are you staring at me, I have flowers on my face. Concubine Xuan was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by An Wenxuan so directly, so she couldn't help but say coquettishly.
"You don't have flowers on your face, but you look much better than flowers. An Wenxuan laughed
Concubine Xuan turned her head and snorted, yes, she is easy to grow old, although her appearance is very beautiful, but she will have goosebumps all over her body after a few decades, and she is afraid when she thinks that she will become like that in the future. At this time, Shi Feixuan suddenly felt that her little hand was grabbed by a thick big hand, and she trembled all over her body and wanted to pull it away, but An Wenxuan pulled it very tightly, struggled for a while and gave up without breaking free, but her heartbeat was beating happily, as if she had a little rabbit in her chest.
An Wenxuan took Concubine Xuan's smooth jade hand gently, and Concubine Xuan leaned her head on his shoulder. The two of them looked so harmonious and natural under the fiery red light of the sea of blood-colored insects.
An Wenxuan asked, "When did you know it was mine that night?"
The concubine shuddered, obviously remembering the **** in the dark that night, and now it is still as unreal as a dream, the two of them have been so close.
"When you hugged me, I knew it was you, the big pervert. The senior concubine was so ashamed that she couldn't even hear her voice, and her whole person trembled like a frightened rabbit in An Wenxuan's arms.
"You're so powerful, how do you know?" An Wenxuan asked with a smile.
"You smell so special, I knew it was you when I smelled it. The concubine said shyly. It is said that men's armpits emit a musk-like smell, and women smell it to have a calming effect, and it is said that it also has the effect of regulating menstruation and stopping menstruation, but this is just a rumor, I don't know if it really has this effect.
Wait, An Wenxuan suddenly frowned, smell, special smell, he kept muttering and looking at the blood-colored insects and swamp man-eating beasts in the swamp. After noticing that the blood-colored insects were avoiding the swamp man-eating beasts swimming, An Wenxuan exclaimed excitedly, "I know, I know how to dodge the attacks of these insects." ”
"Have you figured it out? Shi Feixuan's excitement was no less than An Wenxuan's, there was an abandoned city ahead, of course she didn't want to give up like that.
"It's okay to tell you, but you'll have to kiss me. An Wenxuan said with a smile.
I thought that Concubine Xuan would definitely refuse, but I didn't expect him to speak before Concubine Xuan kissed him heavily on the face.
"Now let's talk. The concubine snorted softly with a blushing face, and that expression was the unique expression of a woman in love.
"Look at it, then. An Wenxuan smiled mysteriously, and his eyes were staring at the swamp man-eaters who had gathered together to look at them.
An Wenxuan turned out a rope from the space ring, this is not an ordinary rope, but made of silk swallowed by the earth-level super demonic beast Ruyi Ice Silkworm, this Ruyi Ice Silkworm attack power is very terrifying, the innate peak martial artist and forbidden spell magician can only escape when they encounter it, Ruyi Ice Silkworm lives on the ice field of the Continent of God, and only swallows silk once a year, it took Murong Bo, the founding emperor of Great Xia, more than ten years, risking being discovered by the Ruyi Ice Silkworm, to make the collected ice silk into a rope.
An Wenxuan made one end into a slipknot ferrule, and then used his demonic fighting qi to hit the nearest swamp man-eating beast, and the beast screamed in pain and raised its head. An Wenxuan was waiting for this time, he quickly put the rope noose on its head, and then the blood-colored insect that was alarmed jumped up again.
An Wenxuan quickly pulled, and the swamp man-eating beast was dragged up, its neck was tightly strangled by the ice silk rope, and it was struggling desperately. An Wenxuan secretly called it a fluke, if it weren't for such a rope, he really didn't know how to get the swamp man-eating beast up, I was afraid that as soon as something entered this sea of blood red worms, it would be gnawed by these insects.
At this moment, the others rushed out because they heard the shrill cries of swamp man-eaters and blood-colored insects.
"Wen Xuan, what are you doing catching swamp man-eaters without resting?" Lucia asked suspiciously.
"Wen Xuan must have come up with a solution to this swamp, hasn't he?" Murong Fengwu had a blind confidence in An Wenxuan.
Harley and the others looked at An Wenxuan expectantly, hoping that he would nod.
An Wenxuan smiled and said, "I think I thought of it, but I don't know if it's useful." ”
"You really thought of it, say it. Harley grabbed An Wenxuan's shoulder and shook it hard, his eyes were like those of a person who had been hungry for ten days and half a month, and suddenly found a bowl of fragrant rice in front of him.
"Don't shake it, slaughter the animal first. An Wenxuan pointed to the swamp man-eating beast that was still struggling.
Without saying a word, Harley raised his giant sword and slashed over, the pale blue sword flashed, and the swamp man-eater was already detached. An Wenxuan withdrew the rope, stripped off the skin of the swamp man-eating beast with a knife, and then threw its body into the swamp.
There was a sudden chaos, its body had been gnawed clean by his kind, but those blood-colored insects avoided it, which made An Wenxuan confirm his guess even more: the smell of the swamp man-eating beast had a repelling effect on these blood-colored insects.
An Wenxuan wrapped the animal skin peeled off the swamp man-eating beast around a wooden staff, and then stretched the wooden staff towards the sea of blood-colored insects. Sure enough, the blood-red insects avoided it, but the swamp man-eaters kept chasing after it.
"I know, it turns out that these blood-red insects are afraid of the smell of these swamp man-eating beasts, Wen Xuan, do you want us all to rush over wrapped in animal skins?" Murong Fengwu exclaimed.
"Hehe, smart. An Wenxuan praised with a smile, and Murong Fengwu smiled very happily when he received the praise from his sweetheart.
The others listened to Murong Fengwu's words before they suddenly realized that this was indeed a very wonderful way, and this might be the only way to pass through the Blood Red Worm Sea.
But soon Shi Fei Xuan raised her own questions, and she said, "Wen Xuan, even if we can avoid the sea of insects, how can we avoid these swamp man-eating beasts? Besides, this swamp doesn't seem to have a place to settle at all, I'm afraid we will sink as soon as we step on it." ”
An Wenxuan smiled, pointed to the big guy in the middle of the swamp that was obviously much larger than the other swamp man-eating beasts, and said, "Do you know what that is?"
"Isn't that a swamp man-eating beast?" said the brute bull, scratching his head, his simple head couldn't understand how An Wenxuan could ask such a retarded question.
Shi Fei Xuan thought for a while and said, "That should be the swamp man-eating beast king, but so what?"
"Not good, we just want it to take us there. An Wenxuan said lightly, as if it were a trivial matter.
"What, let's, let it take us over, do you think you're a god?" Lan Tian, who had always been gentle on the surface, couldn't help but jump up when he heard An Wenxuan's words, and asked the leader of the swamp man-eating beasts to take them over, this is simply a fantasy.
"I don't believe it, why don't we make a bet that if I succeed, you'll give me all the prize money for your mission. An Wenxuan said with a smile.
"This..."Lan Tian suddenly stopped talking, although he didn't believe it, but An Wenxuan's confidence made him dare not take risks.
An Wenxuan shook his head secretly, this guy's bearing is too small, no wonder he is only a high-level magician at such an age, and he doesn't want to think about it, if he can't get by, he won't have nothing.
"Wen Xuan, if you succeed, then I will give you my share of the bonus. Harley said, he's not stupid, he didn't go for those task bonuses in the first place, if he can pass, he's afraid he won't be able to make a fortune?
An Wenxuan looked at Harley and smiled, "Okay, that's what you said." ”
At this time, An Wenxuan dragged a few swamp man-eating beasts with Ruyi Ice Silk, and he wrapped these animal skins from head to toe, revealing only two eyes.
Murong Fengwu bit her lip and looked at her sweetheart, although she was full of confidence in An Wenxuan, but when it came to the end, she couldn't help but worry, this is no better than other places, this is a real place of death.
But Murong Fengwu didn't say anything, just used her eyes to convey encouragement and support for him, she didn't want her man to be distracted. Lucia and Concubine Xuan are the same, they know how to trust their sweethearts with practical actions.
An Wenxuan looked at the third daughter and sighed in his heart: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”
