Jiugong Tribe, this is the second time Ye Xi has heard this name from the mouth of the Gou tribe.

He remembered that the nine super tribes that Chief Armadillo had said also had this name, and now that he had seen the terrifying strength of the Thunder Tribe, what kind of demeanor did the Nine Workers Tribe have as a super tribe that was not inferior to the Thunder Tribe?

Ye Xi was a little fascinated in his heart.

By the way, he remembered that Ban Yi of the Gongtao tribe left his hometown to find the Jiugong tribe outside the Nu River, so would Ban Yi be there?

Before leaving, he accepted three different grasses from Banyi's father, the old Qingyang clan, and promised him that if he met Banyi outside, he would let him go back to the tribe, so should he go to the Jiugong tribe on purpose?

The cool breeze blew through the boundless wasteland, Ye Xi caught up with Shi Ying and asked, "Is the Jiugong tribe far away from here?"

Shi Ying pointed to the west and said, "Far, the Jiugong Tribe is in that direction, about three thousand kilometers away from here. ”

Three thousand kilometers!

Ye Xi frowned slightly: "Is it so far, then why do you still go to Jiugong to trade items?"

"We also go once a year and don't go often. Shi Ying explained.

Three thousand kilometers is not close, and he deviated from the route back to Tu Mountain, thought about him and said, "Brother Shi Ying, can I ask you for something?"

Shi Ying hurriedly said: "Five people, you saved our lives, if you have any orders, just say it!"

"The next time you go to the Jiugong Tribe, can you help me find someone? His name is Ban Yi, he is about forty years old, he is from the Gongtao Tribe, he may be a sixth-level warrior or a seventh-level warrior. ”

"Okay, I remember, we'll definitely try our best to find this warrior called Ban Lose. It's just five big people, and the Nine Workers tribe is very large, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to find it. Shi Ying said sincerely.

Ye Xi nodded: "Just do your best, and, if you find it, please help me bring him a word." ”

Tell him that his father, the elder of the Qingyang tribe, has not much time, and wants to see him again before he dies, and asks him to return to the Gongtao tribe. ”

Shi Ying nodded solemnly: "Okay, I remember the five major people, don't worry!"

"Well, hard work. ”

Ye Xi put this matter aside for the time being, asked him in detail about the Endless Swamp, and after knowing that the direction of the Endless Swamp and the road back to Tu Mountain were the same, he also followed Shi Ying and them to find the Thunder Stone.

The group picked up as they walked, and by the time they walked out of the wasteland, each of them already had a large stack of thunder stones wrapped in their own clothes in their arms.

It was late autumn and the weather was cold, so as soon as we walked outside the wasteland, we slaughtered a long-haired rabbit, took off the rabbit skin of the long-haired rabbit and wrapped it in a thunder stone, and put on our clothes again.

The group of five people went all the way south, and it only took two days and one night to reach the legendary endless swamp.

It was almost dusk, and the red sunset filled the sky.

The swamp in front of me was not black and muddy, it looked clear, and there were many yellow-green mosses dotted in the center of the swamp, like a small island. In the distance, there was even a large patch of snow-white fluffy reeds swaying in the wind.

And the Endless Swamp is worthy of being called the Endless Swamp, this glance can not see the edge at all, even if Ye Xi looks far away, he can't see a mountain peak in the distance.

Broken Ling looked ahead and muttered, "Endless swamp, endless swamp...... How big is this?"

You Haha smiled, pointed ahead and said, "If we walk at the speed we came, I'm afraid it will take a full two months to get out completely!"

Two months to get out of the swamp!

Ye Xi's eyelids jumped and asked, "What if we take a detour?" ”

You: "The swamp is so wide that it would take months to make a detour. If you really want to go to the other side, you might as well wait until winter comes. In the cold of winter, the swamp has a freeze period of more than two months, and you can walk through it directly. ”

Ye Xi: "In the cold winter, will there be any dangerous biological activities in the endless swamp?"

"The big toads are mainly difficult to get rid of, but they fall asleep when it's cold, so don't worry, just walk over as if it were flat ground!"

Ye Xi relieved his heart.

"Why didn't I see a toad here?" Broken Ling curiously walked to the edge of the swamp and probed to the bottom of the swamp.

The bottom of the swamp is dark and secluded, and there is a layer of clear water about 10 centimeters deep on the upper layer of the swamp, and there are green round aquatic plants floating on it.

Together, it's easy for creatures to give the illusion that the swamp can be walked over at will. But Ye Xi knew that the mud at the bottom of this was not known how deep it was, and if he really stepped on it, he might never be able to come up again.

Tong Yu laughed: "Little Broken Ling, the big toads in the endless swamp don't come out until night, and now they are all lying down and sleeping under the mud!"

Broken Ling put her feet into the water and tentatively stepped on the soft mud at the bottom of the water: "How deep is this mud? You said that the toads here are as big as cows, how do I think it's unlikely?"

Tong Yu said with a little frightened look: "How deep? The mud here can swallow you whole, and you can't even see the top of your head!"

This scares the tone of the child...... Broken Ling squinted at him.

Shi Ying stopped with a wooden stick: "Let's go, while it's not dark yet, let's hurry into the swamp!"

The sticks were cut on the road, and each one was cut to use when exploring the swamp.

"Can't you catch toads here? It's safe here. Broken Ling was worried that Ye Xi would encounter danger in the swamp, so he hurriedly asked.

Shi Ying explained: "There are few toads on the edge of the endless swamp, so we can't catch them, and we don't have to go deep into the swamp, it's about the same as walking about half a mile." ”

You was the most anxious, he took the lead and jumped onto a piece of moss protruding from the swamp: "Don't talk about walking quickly, if you don't go, it will be dark!"

Tong Yu was the first to respond, jumping into the swamp after You.

Before Shi Ying left, he told Ye Xi again: "Remember, where we stepped on, some moss looked real, and when we stepped on it, we knew that it was floating on the swamp, don't fall into the swamp, if you fall into the swamp, it will be a big trouble!"

Ye Xi: "Okay." ”

Stone Eagle followed suit and jumped into the swamp.

Ye Xi paused, turned back to Duan Ling and said, "Don't go in, stay here and wait for us to come out." ”

The strength of Broken Ling here is the lowest, and it is also the most dangerous, once he is dragged into the swamp by the big toad, even Ye Xi can't save him.

Broken Ling only followed Ye Xi's name, so naturally he had no objections, and nodded obediently: "Yes." ”

After Ye Xi handed over the iron egg to him, he followed the mossy island that Shi Ying had stepped on into the endless swamp.

..................

The more the endless swamp went, the denser the moss growing on it, and after jumping and walking for more than fifty meters, Ye Xi and the four of them didn't have to jump, and walked directly on the moss group like land.

But the four of them walked very slowly and carefully, and almost every step you took would poke the moss in front of them with a wooden stick, for fear that there would be moss floating on it.

They slowly walked to the vicinity of the reeds.

Large snow-white reeds swayed in the wind, looking soft and peaceful.

Haw!

There were many palm-sized birds chirping rapidly and sharply in the reeds, Ye Xi took a closer look and found that these birds' eyes were all scarlet, and they looked a little vicious.

You led them into the reeds.

The reeds were so high that they were so overwhelmed that they saw them come in, and when the birds saw them come in, their cries became sharper, and they flapped their wings near them, trying to drive them away.

The flock of birds was annoying, and the stone eagles waved their sticks to drive them away, and only after driving them away did they crouch in the reeds.

The ground under the reeds was soft, and stepping on it was like stepping on dough, and the tops of Ye Xi's leather boots were covered with mud.

Tong Yu whispered: "Let's wait here until it gets dark, and the big toad will come out when it's dark." ”

Ye Xi: "Hmm. ”

The last rays of twilight were soon swallowed up by the horizon, and the endless swamp grew darker and darker. The light of the red moon scattered, and the insects in the reeds began to become active, and many insects surrounded Ye Xi and them.

Yet the swamp was still calm, so quiet that it seemed to swallow up all life.

Ye Xi and the four of them squatted in the reeds, waiting patiently while driving away the insects, trying not to make a sound. After waiting for about two hours, and after several people were bitten by bugs, there was finally a noise in the dark swamp.

"Quack !!"

With a thunderous sound of frogs, an ugly toad, as big as a scalper, suddenly jumped up from the swamp and leaped near the reeds.

"Quack! quack—" The piercing croaking of frogs resounded through the sky.

It was like a signal, one giant toad after another, jumping out of the swamp with wet mud and crawling onto the surface.
