In the swamp, there are also patches of land that are exposed to the water, and people will not fall when they step on them, and lush vegetation grows, like islands of large and small. Since the water level has not receded for a long time, the trees are not too high, and they are a hiding place for many wild animals.

This is not the final landscape after the flood waters recedes, and thousands of miles of fertile land surrounded by the black fire swamps to the west, the deep mountains of the Youngdi River valley to the east, the Assyrian Plateau to the north, and the Syrian Desert to the south are being formed, and it will be a few years before the passage is unimpeded. Even then, it's not easy to get here.

Amon found a dry slope that was outcropping out of the water, and used the Qi Elemental Divine Technique to send a concussive shockwave away the beasts here, and then stopped the invisible ship in a gentle place. He saw that Medanzo was still sitting quietly in the boat, so he didn't put the space away, and only took Schrödinger off the boat to make food.

Amon roasted fresh snake meat, put all kinds of spices with him, he and Schrödinger have been together for so long, in fact, he doesn't know what a cat likes to eat, everything is completely made according to human taste. And Schrödinger seems to enjoy the best food in the world, in addition to meat, of course, there is also good wine, the best wine Amon bought when he left Monfils.

Don't look at Amun's age and rarely drink, but his appreciation for wine is absolutely superb, the town of Duk used to sell the best wine on the mainland, and his father is the most famous drunkard in the town. Therefore, no matter how expensive or cheap the wine he bought, there was absolutely no taste, which was probably the most satisfying to Schrödinger.

In addition to barbecue meat and wine, Amon also cooked a pot of fragrant fruit and vegetable beef soup, processed with meat floss made by magic, which is his best cooking skill. Schrödinger hadn't eaten for almost three days, and everyone and cat ate very well. At dusk, Medanzo finally opened his eyes, sniffed, stood up and stepped off the boat, and said, "O god Amun, what is so fragrant? There is even wine! ”

Amon smiled: "But Schrödinger is hungry, and he has to eat anyway." How's your recovery, and if there's a monster, can you send it away?"

Mei Danzuo said with a bitter face: "After I went ashore, my strength has been exhausted, and I only recovered less than one percent just now, of course it is no problem to deal with ordinary beasts, but if it is a powerful monster, I can't stand it...... O god Amun, let me eat something first. ”

Schrödinger didn't use a cup to drink, he just hugged the bottle and blew it, and the aroma of the wine overflowed in the dusk and really attracted the monster - the legendary scorpion-tailed dragon.

This monster resembles a lizard and a crocodile, but its long tail accounts for almost half of its entire body length, and its long tail is segmented like a scorpion tail, with an arc-shaped tip, and its body size is about three feet. They poked their heads out of the swamp and didn't dare to approach when they saw the fire on the high slopes.

Medanzo had already frightened the scorpions and the strange snakes, and he held a staff in one hand and a sword in the other for a long time, only to find that these scorpion-tailed dragons were very small, and they were not very aggressive animals, and sat down to drink the soup and sighed: "God Amun, you told me the legend of the battle of the ancient gods, the gods have created nine kinds of monsters, including the scorpion-tailed dragon, but I don't think these scorpion-tailed dragons are very powerful, how can they participate in the battle of the gods?"

Schrödinger, who was holding a wine bottle with a pair of front paws, glared at Medanzo with disdain. Amon thought about it seriously for a long time before replying: "Those scorpions we met in the desert are also vulnerable in the battle of the gods, but the scorpion king Surabaya definitely has this qualification, and I think the hydra snake Humbaba is too." I am afraid that some of the nine monsters created by the gods have been wiped out in the war of the gods, and even the surviving Humbaba was later killed.

Humbaba's descendant in the Eudi River, I have seen a terrible mutated anaconda, and the two-headed snake I encountered today is even more powerful, so it occupies the great lake. But I don't think all monster descendants are fierce, unless we encounter those nine monster deities, such as Scorpion King Surabaya. I don't know if the original scorpion-tailed dragons are still there, but I have seen these scorpion-tailed dragons since I was a child, and they are not very scary like ordinary ironclad beasts. ”

Mei Danzuo slapped his thigh and said: "As soon as you mention the Iron Armored Beast, I think of Yun Meng, ordinary Iron Armored Beasts are not very scary, but those mutated big Iron Armored Beasts are very powerful, especially the Iron Armored Beast King Yun Meng almost didn't kill me and Link Ke at the beginning." Yunmeng is not a monster created by gods, it is the mutated ironclad beast king, with amazing power and even instinctive divine skills. I have an idea, I don't know, right?"

Amon: "Say whatever you want." ”

Mei Danzuo touched the back of his head and said: "These monsters such as Hong Baba and Surabaya may not have been created by the gods, they are the mutant beast kings, and their original origin is similar to Yunmeng, and they have opened up the power of spiritual intelligence and instinct. It was the gods who discovered and trained them, just as the Scorpion King trained the legions of giant scorpions, and tended to make them fight. Amon, didn't you also teach Yunmeng's physical and divine arts? Yunmeng can understand your words, although he can't learn all kinds of physical and divine techniques like a human, he can exercise the power of his talent according to the methods you taught. ”

Amon nodded: "Your idea is very reasonable, but Yunmeng can't speak, and he can't be as sincere as the Scorpion King." If one day it might also turn into a human form, maybe it would be able to systematically cultivate the power of two sides of oneness. I remember that the Scorpion King once said that human beings have a body similar to a god, and it should be most convenient to cultivate this power. ”

Saying this, Medanzo suddenly laughed, and Amon glared at him and said, "You are laughing so strangely, what are you thinking? ”

Mei Danzuo said with a smile: "I still don't know if Yunmeng is male or female, one day if he can change his form of Chengren, I don't know if it is male or female, but he can't learn from those scorpions to go out and walk around without clothes." If that day comes, won't you become one of the legendary ancient gods who make monsters?"

Amon also smiled: "I'm also curious, wait and see." This time to Link's tribe, I plan to let Link teach Yunmeng to write, and it will be more convenient to learn more advanced magic in the future. I had seen the texts of Transfiguration in the Temple of Isis, and its foundation was information magic, which was an illusion at first, but when it reached the advanced realm, it was not only an illusion. I always feel that it is not for people to practice, if Yunmeng can learn it, it can be allowed to try. ”

Medanzo asked curiously, "Can the ironclad beast also write?"

Amon: "You can try, Yunmeng is a mutated ironclad beast king, and he can understand my words." At the same time, he glanced at Schrödinger and said secretly in his heart: "This cat can't speak, but even the gods can write, and the ironclad beast can't do it!"

Schrödinger was holding the bottle and drinking it, ignoring the conversation between the two men, and Medanzo asked again, "O god Amun, you still haven't answered my question, which I asked when I was fighting the two-headed serpent." That strange snake can also use divine arts, as powerful as its physical strength, could it be that the cultivation is also the power of one and two sides, who taught it?"

Amon fell into deep thought, and after a long time he replied, "Maybe it's just the awakening of instinctive power, the original Yunmeng would also use skills similar to earth elemental magic, and it wasn't the priests in the temple who taught them power. They don't have systematic experience in the classics, so it is extremely difficult to master power, but on the other hand, they are not bound by experience, and they don't care about what physical arts and divine arts are, but they are close to the cultivation of the power of two sides of the same body. ”

Mei Danzuo frowned and said, "Yun Meng's original situation was like this, could it be that Hong Baba and the Scorpion King are also the same?" If Yun Meng hadn't met you, I'm afraid he would have been just an ironclad beast in a waterhole forever." ”

Amon: "The Scorpion King and Humbaba may have been taught by the gods, but they are not humans, and their cultivation paths are different from those of humans. The so-called power of two sides of one body is just my summary, it doesn't matter what the name is, the gods don't want it to circulate openly in the world, so we should also be careful. ”

Medanzo nodded and said, "I've always been very careful, even in front of Princess Xiaoqian, I didn't show any flaws, you should tell Link well." In fact, I've been thinking that the death of that two-headed monster snake is really not worth it, if it doesn't chase us, everyone will be safe. It's not as good as the Scorpion King, at least it can negotiate. ”

Amon sighed and said: "It opened up its simple spiritual intelligence, and realized that it had a great power, a ** beyond the instinct of animals, and it was the king and hegemon in that great lake, but this power ended up harming itself." ”

Medanzo: "It thought it was going to kill us, so it chased after it, but it didn't expect you to slaughter it as soon as you made a move." ”

Amon suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "I once told you not to kill people as much as possible, and if you have to kill people, try to use the least amount of force. But sometimes the strongest force is the smallest power, and if the endless grappling unleashes countless attacks, the force used is much greater than the critical blow. ...... There will be monsters along the way, and if such a battle breaks out every time, we may not be able to reach our destination safely. Be careful about the next road and try not to have another conflict, and it is best if you can fight hard. ”

After dawn, we continued to set off, and after walking through a swamp for nearly a hundred miles, there was a bush and grassland in front of us. The land has been exposed to the water for less than a year and has not formed a lush jungle. Walking among the weeds and bushes, Amon put away the invisible ship, not wanting to consume mana in vain.

There are many bison in the grasslands, large and tall by a man, with crooked horns sticking out of the tip, but they are very docile, and they graze there in herds. Medanzo said: "The horns of these cows are really special, it would be a very terrifying sight if they charged in groups, are they the descendants of the wild bull, one of the nine monsters in the legend?"

Amon replied, "I have seen this kind of bull in the mountains, and it does not usually attack people, but when it is disturbed and runs in herds, its hooves and horns are very dangerous. Let's stay away and don't provoke them. ”

As they crept through the herd, Medanzo suddenly opened his mouth wide and pointed into the distance, saying, "O god Amun, what do you see that is?"

I saw that there was also a cow in the distance, much larger than a bull elephant, with huge horns curved like a giant bow, the tip of which flashed with a sharp cold light, and walked over the grassland like a moving hill, which looked very terrifying. However, many birds landed on it, and the giant bull looked very serene, glanced up at Amon and Medanzo who were walking in the distance, and then lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the bushes as if nothing had happened.

Amon whispered, "This is the legendary wild bull." ”

Medanzo stuck out his tongue: "It's really big, could it be the wild bull created by the gods?"

Amon: "It doesn't look like it, the nine monster deities created by the gods all have the power to participate in the battle of the gods, and this cow should be its descendant, or a mutated barbarian bull king." Let's just go around it, be careful, don't step on cow dung. ”

The two of them walked through the grassland, and the dirt in front of them became wet again, and if you stepped on it, it would sink to your knees. But this mud could not hinder Amon and Medanzo, who only left four shallow footprints on the wet mud ground, and their figures gradually disappeared on the distant horizon.

The night passed, and the footprints had not completely disappeared, and at noon the next day, two more black dots appeared on the distant horizon. The black dot quickly grew larger, and it was Medanzo and Amon who were galloping, and they were back, and they were running.

There was an unpleasant "hiss, hiss" sound behind them, and when they looked up, they saw a terrifying sight, a monster in hot pursuit, none other than the legendary swamp serpent. The snake was not as large as the two-headed snake, but it was more than sixty feet long, its body as thick as a bucket, and in the middle of its head was a bright red sarcoma more than a foot high, shaped like a rooster's crown.

What's even more terrifying is that although this snake does not have long legs, it has a pair of membranous meat wings, which are more than thirty feet wide when unfolded, like huge bat wings. Its tail dragged on the ground, its upper body stirred its wings in the air, and its wings fluttered with a fine wind blade, and in its pass, chopped blades of grass and shrubs flew in its wake.

Amon said as he ran: "Tell you to be careful not to provoke monsters, you have provoked this big guy again, it is still a mutated swamp giant snake with wings, fortunately it is not the legendary Flying Snake King!"

Medanzo muttered, "I really didn't mean to, I just poured urine into the water, but I didn't expect to recruit it, and it almost scared me to death!"

Amon: "I'll let you do it, and that's how you can do it?" After running so far back, our day's journey was in vain. ”

Medanzo said with a bitter face: "God Amun, you refuse to make a move, and my strength has only recovered less than two percent, how can you fight it?" I think this snake is the leader of the monsters in that swamp, bring it here, and we can go back and pass unimpeded." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already galloped past the herd, and the two-winged serpent had also chased after them, and the terrible movement disturbed the grazing bison herd. Many cows began to run in panic, and many of them stood in the way of the strange snake. The hooves and horns of the ox were a mortal danger to man, but the huge two-winged flying snake was not afraid at all, and with a flap of its wings or a curl of its long tail, it swept the ox that stood in its way far away.

The herd became even more panicked, and let out a burst of frightened cries as they ran. There was an earth-shattering roar in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble, and it turned out that it was the huge mutant bull who noticed the movement here, lowered its head and raised its four hooves and rushed over.

Medanzo, who was fleeing, whispered: "God Amun, speed up and turn, let's flash quickly, let the monsters fight the monsters!"

Amon grabbed Medanzo's arm, and his feet suddenly accelerated and he cast a stealth magic spell, his body was as fast as a wisp of light smoke, and he slipped away in a circle among the galloping cattle, and the oncoming wild buffalo happened to meet the swamp serpent.

They returned from the way they came, and behind them came the roar of the bull and the neighing of the serpent, and the smoke and dust of the grassland were full of wind, and the uprooted bushes flew into the air one after another, and the two big guys fought together. Medanzo, who had already run away, said with palpitations: "Look at these two monsters, who can fight whom?"

Amon replied: "This is not the territory of the swamp serpent, two powerful monsters suddenly fight, generally will not fight for their lives, only one side will repel the other, let's take advantage of the swamp serpent's absence to hurry away." ”

They walked for days in this treacherous wasteland, trying to avoid all kinds of dangers, and when they could not escape, they took up arms and fought. Amon didn't let Medanzo take action again, and he personally solved any situation with an iron branch staff, recording the terrain and monster haunts along the way, and finally came to the old site of Duke Town on this day.

Shortly after the water came out, it was a huge island surrounded by swamps and jungles, the soil was black, fertile, and overgrown with weeds. In terms of size, this isolated island is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people to cultivate and live, and as the flood waters finally recedes completely, thousands of miles of fertile fields will be connected.

Amon stood in his homeland with his staff in his hand, his eyes tearful and speechless for a long time. There was a cat squatting at his feet, and Schrödinger had a melancholy look in his eyes.

Amon stood from noon to sunset, and just looked at the wasteland stupidly, without saying a word. It wasn't until dusk that Medanzo cautiously asked, "God Amun, is this our destination?"

Amon stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, this is Duke Town." The torrent swept down from the Assyrian plateau, and everyone was swept away, along with the houses, cattle and sheep, leaving nothing behind. Dirt has covered the original land, and we are standing on top of it. ”

Medanzo said softly, "Don't be too sad, God Amon, you're back after all. In the future, it will become a prosperous home again, and your wish will definitely come true. ”
