Chapter 20: The Swamp
There were no roads in the Warcraft Forest, and there were only traces of mercenaries passing by, broken and dried shrub branches beside the road, and trampled grassy vegetation that could be maintained for a few days in the harsh temperatures of the northern winter. www.biquge.info If it is in the summer, within ten hours, they will be covered by crazy grass and trees. More often than not, the so-called road is just between trees and with fewer shrubs.
The more you walk into the depths of the Warcraft Forest, the warmer it becomes, and without the wind, only the smell of grass and trees and rotting leaves remains, which lingers for a long time.
The men had already taken off their waterproof cloaks, and each was fully armed, his weapon tightly in his hands, carefully watching every nook and cranny of the woods.
It's getting dark.
The warrior Arian walked in the front, a little bored with the big sword in his hand to open the way, he never thought that there would be such a day, he would use this magic sword woven by the first-class craftsmen of the imperial capital, worth nearly a thousand to cut those bushes and branches, usually he is reluctant to make it even when practicing, this is an armor-piercing magic sword!
Damn, these grass juices are still splashed on his white coat, what a gentleman's identity!
His embarrassed appearance must have fallen into the eyes of the next few students, and he must find an opportunity to warn them to keep their mouths shut!
Arian swung his greatsword viciously from side to side, cursing inwardly.
In front of him, Arion almost fell, and quickly stood firm to take a closer look, there was a low dirt slope under his feet, and he hurriedly jumped down, turned around and said, "There is a hurdle here, be careful." ”
I saw that the students' faces changed color and said loudly: "Get out of the way." ”
Arian didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly crouched down. With a "whew", an object swept over his head, and then "snapped" against the trunk of a nearby tree.
A ray of light swept through Arian's face and shot into the grass in front of him, making a "swishing" sound, and a large row of tall weeds fell to either side.
It was only then that Arian rolled to the side, stood up and looked at the grass.
The rest of the cadets had already rushed up and stood beside Arryant, all looking at the grass.
"What is it?" asked Arian.
Dylan said: "I didn't see it clearly, is it a snake?"
Grace said coldly: "Of course not, the snake only has scales on its body, and it does not grow hair." "The only one who reacted in time and threw a wind blade just now was him.
Gibrason and three other professors also walked over.
Clark said: "It's a long-tailed badger, a second-level water monster, used to attacking opponents with its tail, and it will also use water bombs, and when it encounters opponents, it often takes the initiative to attack, but it is very timid, and for larger opponents, it is mostly fleeing immediately after a blow, and the threat is not great, but..."
Clark hesitated, "This kind of demonic beast usually appears on the edge of a swamp, is there a swamp ahead?"
Gibrassen said, "I guess, let's go east." ”
Arian continued to drive away, and after this fright, he didn't dare to be distracted anymore.
As they walked, they felt that the temperature began to rise sharply, and the surrounding environment also changed a lot.
The usual evergreen trees have gradually decreased and have been replaced by taller, broader trees, which used to occasionally see the sky, but now when you look up, you can only see dense turquoise leaves, and many thick and long green vines hang from the trees, and the light is getting dimmer.
There are a few birdsong sounds around, and when you listen to it, it has an eerie meaning. The fallen leaves under your feet are also getting thicker and thicker, and sometimes there is a faint sound of water when you step on them.
Clark frowned and said, "It's not the right way, we seem to be heading towards the swamp." ”
Everyone stopped.
"Turn back?"
The students looked at the two remaining professors.
Gibrassen said: "Maybe this swamp is too big, who can guarantee that if you turn back and change your way, you will still go into the confines of the swamp?"
Elendor said, "Go on," he said, glancing at Pandis, "magic can do anything—Miss Pandis, you're the only wood magician, and you'll see you in a moment." ”
Pandis's face was calm, and he nodded, "Yes, mentor!"
Sure enough, every time everyone stepped on it, the sound of water coming from the soles of their feet became more and more obvious, and Arian slowed down his speed extremely slowly, and every time he took a step forward, he would be careful and steady before continuing to move forward.
Everyone gradually smelled the smell of mud between their noses, and Aryon suddenly raised his hand and said, "There seems to be no road ahead," he turned around, "It's all swamps." ”
As far as the eye can see, a large open space appears in front of you, and the big trees around it are gone, only the open space with very thick fallen leaves and branches is very abrupt, and there is a unique "poof" sound from the mud swamp.
Elandor stepped forward, raised his hand and cast an ice pick, and with a muffled "poof", a small hole appeared, and some mud splashed, and then it was covered by the slowly swimming leaves, and he nodded, "It is indeed a swamp." Miss Pandis. He looked at Pandis in the group.
Pandis nodded, "Yes, Mentor!"
She stepped forward, muttering a spell in her mouth, her hands raised, palms facing each other, and a green light appeared in her hands, and then she slowly pushed her hands forward, and the light shot into the swamp.
A green bud rose from the swamp, growing bigger and thicker, and in a short time it grew into a very large vine, which stretched out countless arms around it, and when it met the vine hanging overhead, it quickly wound around like a snake, and twisted them firmly together, and the rest of the vines also hung over the swamp and stretched across the swamp. A few other vines intertwined with each other came to the crowd, tightly twisting a few trees on the shore.
Pandice remained in the same position as before, his mouth chanting incessantly, his eyes fixed on the crazy vines.
The vines grew larger and larger, and the thickest one at the top was already entangled in the upper trunk, and the thinner branches were overwhelmed by gravity and made a "snapping" sound, and the leaves and broken branches kept falling and falling into the swamp.
Finally, a small bridge made of vines was erected over the swamp.
Pandis lowered his hands and said softly, "It's okay, mentor!"
Elandall smiled appreciatively: "Well done, Pandis." ”
Pandice nodded slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Clark took the lead on the rattan bridge.
