Chapter Seventy-Six: The One-Eyed Man-Eating Snake
The Rotten Swamp is located in the western part of the continent and spans four kingdoms and is huge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a place of dense jungle, dotted with rivers, and the terrifying, ubiquitous miasma of swamps.
This is a paradise for poisons, a paradise for dark wizards.
One of the five legendary academies, Wasted Bone Town, is located in it, but due to the huge swamp area, Wastebone Town can't control all of them, and no one can tell how many secrets there are here.
Vane and thirty others, this time commissioned by an official wizard, to search for her lost pet, a black cat with blue eyes, in the depths of the swamp.
More than 30 people were divided into six teams and searched in all directions. When the official wizard commissioned the mission, he gave them a compass with a pointer on the compass that could accurately inform them of the black cat's whereabouts.
Everyone had followed the guidance of the compass for more than five days, and now they had gone deep into the swamp.
"Did you find anything?" asked an apprentice from the Society for the Transformation of the Dead, after the five reunited.
There are three apprentices from the Undead Modification Society in Vane's group, an organization that is popular among the lower apprentices, with a large number of people joining.
Vane shook his head, he didn't feel any breath at all, but he casually killed a few swamp crocodiles.
The rest of the people were similar, with irrepressible disappointment on their faces.
The leader of this squad is a man named Miller, a second-class wizard apprentice realm, and an apprentice of the Necromantic Modification Society.
"According to the compass's positioning, the black cat should be around here. Miller fiddled with the hands of the compass in confusion. The apprentice who practiced necromancy exuded an undead aura that made the others feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, a pink flare suddenly exploded in the sky ahead, and the red light shone exceptionally brightly in the gray sky.
"Quick, there's a situation over there!" Miller yelled after seeing this, and immediately yelled after a daze.
This flare is the most commonly used flare among the academy's apprentices, and can be used to locate or give commands to others. Now that a flare is in the distance, something must have been spotted over there.
The five of them immediately turned around and ran wildly in the direction of the red flare.
Before they reached their destination, Vane and the others could already hear a dense scream. In a wetland in front of it, a huge red flower bloomed bewitchingly, and countless small black snakes surged out of an underground crack below it, densely forming a black raging river.
"Wo Cao!!" Miller stared at him, scolded, and ran away without caring about the others.
However, the others seemed to react faster than him, and were already running ahead of him.
In the face of so many small black snakes, just with their thirty people, they are simply sent to death.
"These bastards, they even called us over when they encountered a group of snakes. Miller was angry and yelled.
Just now, they thought they had found something in the red flare, but they came across this scene.
Vane blessed himself with a light body technique, and the whole person was like a piece of paper flying up by the wind, running for his life frantically.
"It's actually a one-eyed man-eating snake, this luck ......" Vane wanted to cry in his heart.
These little snakes, without exception, all have one eye, and although they are small, they cannot hold up the huge number of them.
Vane had seen the one-eyed man-eating snakes in Ralph Benjamin's autobiography before, so he recognized them at first sight, and ran away without saying a word.
"These perverted little snakes are simply desert marching ants in the swamp!" Vane remembered the record he had read in the book, and his heart felt a chill: "It is said that anyone who is caught up by these one-eyed man-eating snakes, theoretically, even if they are official wizards, will be gnawed and fall into them. ”
Of course, official wizards certainly don't just run on the ground like Vane's apprentices, most of them are able to walk in the air, or teleport away from long distances.
Vane and the others didn't have this treatment, except for a few more wealthy apprentices who ruthlessly tore open a teleportation scroll and fled, most of them still fled in all directions screaming.
However, as if they had wisdom, these one-eyed man-eating snakes actually changed their marching formation several times, and under the flanking attack, they forcibly drove everyone who wanted to flee for their lives in all directions.
"Damn, these man-eating snakes are trying to get me together, and they're serving it in one pot. At that moment, some of the apprentices reacted and shouted angrily.
Vane also glanced back, and found that there were more and more black torrents behind him at the moment, and finally it was almost a sea of pitch black.
Where the snakes passed, there was no grass. As soon as Vane turned around, he saw a giant crocodile crawling on the shore, gnawed by the snakes in an instant, leaving only a white skeleton.
"Hold the grass, this is my first task, this is at least hellish difficulty, don't you want to be so perverted!" Vane was speechless in his heart, he chose to take this task in the first place, and it was because he was simple or uncomplicated.
After all, on the surface, he just went out to help an official wizard find a lost black cat. Who would have thought that such a would happen. You must know that man-eating snakes are very rare in swamps, and such a large group of man-eating snakes is unprecedented.
However, today I was met by everyone!
The group waited like prey at this moment, and was driven deeper into the swamp by the black snakes.
Every time everyone wants to disperse and break through, the snake group will divide a part of the black snake stream to chase and intercept, forcing everyone back to the original way again.
Vane followed the crowd all the way, panicking.
After a few hours, everyone noticed that the group of man-eating snakes behind them gradually decreased, and the color of the black torrent became lighter. After another two hours, the group of snakes behind him finally disappeared completely.
Whew!!
One by one, everyone collapsed and lowered again, gasping violently. Vane was also pale for a while, in the process of escaping for his life just now, he was crazy about running the light body technique, although he relied on the spell casting model to cast, but he couldn't stand the frequency of use, so his current mental power was a little overdrawn, so stop and recuperate at the moment.
"Damn, I'm finally free of those snakes!" a feeling of aftermath rose in everyone's hearts.
Miller suddenly stood up at this time and scolded violently: "Who sent signal flares indiscriminately just now, lured us over, and almost killed us!"
At this time, an apprentice in the crowd touched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said: "We actually found a strange-looking flower just now, it looks very strange, so we wanted to send a signal flare to call people to come and have a look, but I didn't expect that the signal flare just sent into the sky, it alarmed the group of man-eating snakes under the flower." ”
"Flowers?" Vane thought back, as if he had seen a huge red flower just now, and he could feel a hint of strangeness when he looked at it from afar. However, Vane soon wondered again: "According to Dean Ralph's autobiography, the one-eyed man-eating snake is a visual animal, and likes to attack brightly colored species the most, so many red flowers are so bright red, and even a little demonic, why do the snakes not only not move it, but build their nests under it?"
