Moses walked at the front of the line with ten warriors, they stood in a straight line, about 5 meters apart from each other, each of them held the spear in their hands tightly, and slowly searched forward.

About 20 meters behind Moses, 10 warriors in armor struggled forward, with a clenched fist mark on their chests, a mark unique to Castle of Iron Fist, and these warriors were Vivien's personal guards. The armor on their bodies is very protective, but the weight of the armor also makes them suffer when walking in such a swamp.

The 10 Iron Fist Castle guards naturally formed a semi-circular circle, surrounding Ryan, Adela and Rocheld, and Barbara in the center, and in the back half of this semi-circle, there were 10 shooters, who could give remote support to any member of the entire team in this position. Walking at the end were 10 other warriors brought by Moses, each of whom held a shield so that they could be ready for a sudden attack.

In the four directions of the entire team, the figure of the scouts can be faintly seen, at the request of Lane, these scouts are all within the field of vision of the large army, less than 100 meters away can be supported by the large army as soon as possible after they are attacked, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, although this will make it easier for the large team to fall into the trap pre-arranged by the enemy, but Lane still insisted on giving this order.

Now Ryan and his party have been in the Cursed Swamp for a full hour, and what makes them strange is that those terrifying monsters in the legend have not appeared at all, except that the ground is not easy to walk, they have not encountered any trouble at all. Ryan mentally estimated that they had walked almost 10 kilometers in an hour, and that they should have reached the place where the priest Rocheld, had arrived, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard a rapid bird chirping right in front of him.

Ryan knew that many mercenaries liked to use some kind of animal voice when transmitting messages, and that sound was obviously made by the scout in front of him, Ryan had not studied it, and he didn't know what the cry just now meant, but Moses, who was walking at the front of the line, immediately gave the order to stop advancing.

"Mr. Fabia, the scouts ahead have found signs of battle. Moses walked up to Ryan and said, "What shall we do now?"

Instead of answering Moses immediately, Ryan turned his head to the priest Rochand, who thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the place where we fought before, and it's almost exactly the same in this neighborhood, and it's hard for me to tell if it's around that or not." ”

"The army is standing still, Moses, let's go over and have a look. Ryan gave the order.

Soon, the large army formed an improvised defensive position, with Adela sitting in the center and taking over command, while Ryan led Moses. Rochelle, Barbara, and the two guards slowly walked towards the location of the scout in the distance. As soon as he walked nearby, Pastor Rocchild exclaimed excitedly: "This is it, yes, this is it!"

Rocheld pointed to the east and said, "This is a relatively dry place, so we chose to rest here, but from there suddenly a few poisonous spiders appeared, and we lost 2 sentinels by surprise, but we finally killed the spiders." ”

"Don't get so excited, Rochelde. Ryan said, "Speak slowly, we're all listening." ”

Ryan's words calmed down Rochelde, he scratched his hair embarrassedly, and said ashamedly: "Alas, the teacher said that my concentration is too poor, and I am still a little unconvinced, you see that I will get excited when I encounter something, hehe." Well, there were a lot of people who were hit by spider venom at that time, but most of them were cured by me with magic, only a few were too deeply poisoned to be treated, I wasn't a cardinal, and I didn't know that powerful resurrection. ”

"It's okay, let's go, let's go see. Ryan patted Rochel lightly on the shoulder and walked over to the scout.

"Lord Fabia, please look here. The scout pointed to his feet and said, "Traces of battle, broken shafts, and stumps of some kind of creature, and green corrosion marks on the ground, which must be some kind of poison." ”

Ryan nodded, the scout's description was similar to what Priest Rocheld's had told, and it seemed that Nancy's training was not bad for this group of scouts.

"Reverend, can you recall which spiders got from what direction?" Moses asked Rocheld.

"This ...... All I can tell you is that the direction in which they first appear is east, and the rest is not clear. ”

"Didn't you search afterwards?" asked Ryan.

"No, because everyone was attracted by the sea jade, and after a short rest, they continued on their way. ”

Ryan nodded, and he turned to Moses and said, "Do you think we're going to look for that spider's cave first?"

Before Moses could reply, he heard the scouts sound a shrill whistle, a warning of an enemy attack.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the direction where the whistle came, and a scout crawling figure came into everyone's eyes, Moses looked at the scout trained by Nancy with a blue face, and wanted to beat him up, which was simply a disgrace to the Sword and Rose mercenary group. However, what appeared next in everyone's field of vision made Moses have no other thoughts, he drew his long sword with a swipe, made preparations for battle, and at the same time loudly reminded Adra, who was left behind in the army, to be on guard.

Ryan looked at the big guy who was following the scout with amazement, a huge spider that stood up to half a human height, its thick eight legs about the thickness of an adult man's thighs, and the hairy appearance of the whole body looked uncomfortable.

"Ah, teacher, hurry up and save him!" Barbara, who was standing behind Ryan, nervously grabbed the hem of Ryan's clothes and shouted, Ryan turned his head and smiled at her, and then whispered a string of magic spells, which released a blue lightning bolt aimed at the spider's lower abdomen.

The lightning struck the spider with unmistakable accuracy, and the spider let out a strange cry, leaving the scout chasing behind it, and turned to Ryan and rushed towards him.

"Stand back, let me come!" Moses picked up the long sword in his hand and was about to meet it, but his movements were fast, Ryan's speed was faster than him, Moses only felt that something flew past him, he fixed his eyes, and was immediately startled, it turned out that what had just flown past him was a hot fireball.
