Chapter 65

The vast ancient wooded barren swamp is recognized as the most unfriendly area for adventurers on the entire main plane road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are not only endless beasts and monsters here, but also countless snakes and insects, and the natural environment is also extremely harsh. There was not a solid ground in sight on the ground, there was standing water everywhere, and the water was covered with duckweed or algae, completely obscuring the view. Except for those experienced explorers, even experienced adventurers like Ray can't be sure whether they will step on it in one step, whether it will be a fairly solid muddy ground or a bottomless mud pit.

It's just that the ground is bad, and the situation in the air is just as troublesome. Because of the humid climate, there are a large number of shrubs and vines growing here, densely packed everywhere, coupled with the aerial roots of the big trees, countless branches are entangled with each other like snakes and insects, often walking for a while to be blocked, Lei had to hold a sharp axe, constantly cut the obstacles that blocked the road, and forcibly opened up a passage.

Among these branches and vines, there are often poisonous snakes and beasts. More than once Thunder slashed with an axe, and at the same time as the branches broke, a poisonous snake rushed out and attacked him.

Fortunately, Lei's strength is strong, and he has asked a lot of attention points for adventures in the swamp from the adventurers of Gelteng in advance, and he has been careful and vigilant, so he has not been hit.

However, this obviously slowed down the group's journey considerably, especially as they made it more difficult as they crossed the slightly more fortified ground near the edge of the swamp.

Other troubles can be overcome, but the dangers from under our feet cannot be solved. No matter how strong Lei's strength is, he must be down-to-earth to be able to play it. Sometimes, when he stepped on it, it seemed that he was stepping on mud and strong weeds, but when the other foot came over, the weeds suddenly broke along with the mud, and his feet suddenly became a bottomless mud pool, which made him embarrassed.

What is even more odious is that it is densely wooded, and the canopies of large trees are joined together, blocking most of the sunlight. Even at noon, the ground was a little dark, and the rest of the time, it was like it was night outside, and it was impossible to see what was going on underfoot.

After encountering several dangers in quick succession, Sui Xiong simply performed a floating saucer technique, creating an invisible disc that floated about a meter above the ground (or water) and allowed him to stand on it.

Float Saucer is a very common introductory spell that can create such a disc and not be too burdensome. It's a handy spell for young mages who are just starting out, both to get around muddy and rough terrain and to carry some miscellaneous items.

This spell lasted for a long time, and even a disc made by a low-level mage like Parin could last for about four or five hours—not just now, at least doubled—and with Sui Xiong's strength, he could cast this spell......

Generally speaking, the duration of a spell is limited to a full day, because normal people need enough rest every day, and after a mage has enough rest, the casting ability will be fully restored, and the spell can be recast. So the duration of the whole day, is an important hard indicator. Many times, in order to achieve this hard metric for spell duration, mages must work on a technique called "spell delay", which doubles the duration of the spell's effect.

Because of the need for the duration of a spell, powerful high-level mages have developed a technique called "Spell Continuity", which can ignore the original duration of a spell and directly enhance it to last for a whole day. At this point, the level of hard indicators has finally been crossed.

However, Sui Xiong was able to maintain the floating saucer technique for more than a day with just the most basic spell casting ability. When Steele asked how long the spell would last, he simply experimented with it and turned into a float with him.

As a result, this float technique continued from noon that day, and did not disappear at noon the next day, nor did it disappear at night, until the next morning, when everyone found that it disappeared in the night, but when it disappeared, no one paid attention.

"That's amazing!" Steele exclaimed, "I've never heard of anyone who can sustain this spell for so long without relying on special skills, just basic spell casting ability!"

Lei silently calculated, secretly speechless.

Unexpectedly, this jellyfish god, who always stops on his head and disguises himself as a hat, turned out to be a super powerful mage!

Of course, this inaccurate result was not satisfactory to everyone, so Sui Xiong cast another spell, and this time he made up his mind that even if he didn't sleep at night, he would wait until the spell dissipated and calculate the exact duration.

"Well, I'm interested too. Ray said.

"Me too!"

However, things often turn out in unexpected ways. The next day, while trekking, they encountered an accident.

After lunch, the group of three people (or rather, one person) moved on.

Because of the King of Sex and Desire, Sui Xiong had a different view on the matter of being named a god than in the past, and was a little worried, so he calmed down and carefully studied the information given by the God of Redemption, and compared it with the King of Sex and Desire, trying to peel back the cocoon and find out the possible problems.

Because of the distraction, when a strong hostility suddenly hit, he was not able to react immediately.

To be honest, he can't be blamed for this, it's completely different now than when he set out, and after getting used to the dense forest environment, the team doesn't need his vigilance much when they travel.

Steele is a divine creature who not only flies high and fast, but also has the ability to move between the void and the solid. Every once in a while, she would transform into a virtual body, ignoring the dense woods and vines around her, and not afraid of any snakes, insects, and beasts, swaggering through the swamp and dense forest, easily seeing the danger ahead, and coming back to report.

And Ray, who is standing on the invisible disc, no longer has to worry about getting stuck in the quagmire. Skilled in riding, he immediately adapted to this way of advancing, swinging his axe to easily cut off the vines and branches that stood in his way, and occasionally some snakes and insects attacked, he would be effortlessly knocked away, and he could not touch his side at all.

In addition to the fact that the environment is still harsh and still dark, the environment of the swampy forest can have little impact on them.

But just at this time, the unexpected happened!

At that time Steele was flying into the canopy of trees, scouting for any particular danger in the distance, and by the way, looking for suitable camping spots—here, after noon, it was time to look for camp. Lei stepped on the floating disc as always, swinging his axe to cut through the obstacles along the way and open the way. Everything seems to be exactly the same as usual.

But when he cut off a tree vine the thickness of an arm, bounced a turquoise poisonous snake by the way, and went straight forward, a huge black figure rushed out in the muddy water not far away and attacked him.

Lei was caught off guard, and picked up a sharp axe and slashed over. But the sharp axe slashed at the black figure, like a wooden knife on leather, slippery, soft, and tough, and there was nowhere to be forced, and it slid away at once.

But the axe finally had a slight effect, and the black figure was tilted to the side, passing him.

Without hesitation, Ray threw away the axe and drew his sword.

His sword is not only well-made, but also strengthened by powerful mages with spells, and can be called the best among enchanted weapons. With a sword in hand, even in the face of a dragon, he has the confidence to fight (victory or defeat is another matter), no matter what this black shadow is, can it be more powerful than the dragon?

With an angry shout, he was just about to jump up, but he felt a strong sense of crisis, and before he could think about it, he jumped backwards violently with the force under his feet.

Another black shadow swept in front of him, with a gust of foul wind, whistling and smashing down, like a towering ancient tree falling in front of him, and like a mountain peak falling in front of him, just rubbing a little edge, it smashed the floating disc, and the splashed muddy water was like two walls, crashing to the left and right.

Thunder was in the air, with nowhere to draw on strength, but he was also not afraid. His eyes widened, he grasped the long sword in both hands, and when he saw that he was about to hit his own wall of water, he slashed down with a fierce sword.

The sword slashed through the water, but it made a muffled sound like an axe slashing on a tree.

The wall of water was split open by a sword of thunder, and the torrent almost grazed his body. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, with a hissing sound, an open mouth of blood came towards him.

At this moment, he had clearly seen the true face of the enemy's Lushan - it was a terrifying giant snake, the flat body was wider than his whole person lying horizontally, the length was temporarily unclear, and it was conservatively estimated to be more than ten meters, the gray scales on his body were bigger than his palm, and the scarlet eyes on the triangular head emitted a vicious and cruel light, enough to swallow a cow directly, and the bloody mouth that was enough to swallow a cow directly spit out a dizzying fishy smell, and the poisonous fangs and snake letters were hidden in the darkness, which was even more terrifying.

"What the hell is this!" he cursed in his heart, and with his backhand he pulled out the spear hanging from his back and stabbed the serpent with all his might.

His marksmanship was as good as his swordsmanship, and even if he shot hastily, this shot did not deviate at all, and accurately stabbed the inside of the giant snake's mouth, which may be the location of the gums. The part that is not protected by snake scales is obviously not hard, and this shot is a real piercing, and it allows him to borrow his strength to escape the crisis of being buried in the belly of the snake.

But this shot was not a serious injury to the giant snake. It didn't even show any pain, just a little fear, and its body shrank back sharply, coiled into a ball, and assumed the most classic posture of a snake preparing to attack.

Seeing it coiled, its triangular head swaying slightly, and the appearance of the snake letter spitting lightly, it was no different from an ordinary poisonous snake.

The only difference is that it's so big that it's like a hill.

Ray rolled over in the air and stood firmly on a thick branch, with a pistol in his left hand and a sword in his right, in the fighting posture he was really best at.

To be honest, he didn't have a bottom in his heart. Although he is quite confident in martial arts, all he learns is the art of fighting people, how can he fight a giant snake?

But now it is obviously impossible to find a teacher to study on a temporary basis - not to mention that there is probably no teacher in the world who specializes in teaching this. All he could do was to lift his spirits and do his best to fight this giant snake.

Luckily, he has a strong backer behind him and a teammate who will be back soon, and he is not alone.

The thought of his two companions, especially the one who was still pretending to be a hat on his head, suddenly felt confident in his heart.

"Big deal...... Throw this jellyfish god into its mouth...... Absolutely hold it out!"

With great disrespect, Thunder wielded his weapon and fought with the serpent that pounced on him.
