Chapter 18: The Bounty Trap, the Snake's Lair

After crossing the wetland woods in the danger zone, Ken Xiaozhi and his party came to the edge of the swamp.

"There is a swamp in front, and Xiao Zhi's safety will trouble Biqian, you should take care of it. Dadao didn't forget to remind Bi Qian.

Because after entering the swamp, there will be more ambushes than in the woods.

In the process of crossing the wetland forest, they encountered no less than ten lv20 mutant beasts, but fortunately, the strength of the broadsword team is excellent, and there has been no loss so far. As for Jian Xiaozhi, he has always been strictly protected by Bi Qian.

In fact, Jian Xiaozhi really wanted to say no, but along the way, the other team members were jealous of killing Jian Xiaozhi, so he didn't open his mouth in the end.

For the previous wetland forest, Jian Xiaozhi has already experienced the experience of being difficult to walk. And after entering the swamp, you must be careful not to fall into the swamp.

However, they are all experienced hunters, and they can easily avoid the swamp, so that Jian Xiaozhi has a lot of knowledge.

"Isn't it surprising? But my sister believes that you will surpass us one day. Bi Qian said.

Jian Xiaozhi nodded and didn't say much, and quietly followed Bi Qian.

Because there are other people who take the initiative to explore the way, Jian Xiaozhi can follow behind with peace of mind. But as he went deeper into the swamp, Jian Xiaozhi felt a little uneasy.

"Xiao Zhi, why are you distracted?" Bi Qian also noticed the change in Jian Xiao Zhi, so he asked.

"Nothing. Jian Xiaozhi originally wanted to say it, but it is estimated that no one else will believe it except Bi Qian. This will only make others think that he is vexatious.

Jian Xiaozhi and Bi Qian had been at the back of the line, and when Dadao turned around, he saw the two of them talking in a whisper, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, after receiving Bi Qian's eye prompt, Dadao said: "Let's find a place to rest first, there is still a distance from the destination, take a break and replenish your strength." ”

After receiving the order of the broadsword, they found a relatively safe place to stay as a temporary foothold.

Because there are countless mutant beasts ambushed in the swamp, even high-level hunters will hate it if they are not careful.

The rest time was over quickly, and after recharging his strength, he hurried again.

However, what made Jian Xiaozhi feel strange was that after entering the swamp, they didn't encounter any mutant beasts along the way. Here, the silence is terrible.

Jian Xiaozhi frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

"Xiao Zhi, what's wrong?" Bi Qian asked.

"Sister Bi Qian, don't you think it's too quiet here?" Jian Xiaozhi said directly.

"Quiet?"

At this time, Bi Qian realized that this swamp was too quiet, how could it be said that this was also a danger zone, how could it be that not even a single mutant beast appeared? Before entering the swamp, she encountered more than a dozen mutant beasts, large and small, and after being reminded by Jian Xiaozhiyi, she also found that something was wrong here.

"That's right, Sister Bi Qian. Who appointed this bounty mission?" Jian Xiaozhi asked suddenly. I didn't know much about it before, so I didn't ask much, but now the surroundings are too strange, and even Jian Xiaozhi has a trace of suspicion.

"Huh?" Bi Qian's face suddenly changed, and he casually shouted at the big knife: "Captain, wait a minute!"

"Bi Qian, what's the matter?" Dadao immediately turned around and responded.

"Captain, who assigned this task?" Bi Qian asked.

"This is the high boss of the hunting blade, and he said that he needs the snakeskin of the beetle snake to make armor. The big knife directly said the person behind the assigned task.

"Not good!"

Jian Xiaozhi and Bi Qian said in unison.

"If it hadn't been for Xiao Zhi's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed it. That Gao boss had a holiday with Xiao Zhi before, I'm afraid this mission is a trap!" Bi Qian said coldly, after all, this swamp is too quiet.

Jian Xiaozhi had suspected that Boss Gao had instructed someone to attack him behind his back, but now he actually set a trap to frame Bi Qian and them. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, Jian Xiaozhi feels that this high boss has bad intentions.

Broadsword frowned as well. This time, the bounty mission was indeed three times higher than the usual task, because it was to hunt beetles in the swamp, so the big knife did not suspect it. But now it seems that there are many doubts.

First of all, why specify them. As Bi Qian said, this is a trap.

Secondly, this swamp is so weird that it makes Dadao suspicious.

Suddenly, there was movement ahead.

"It's a mutant beast, ready to fight!" Dadao knew that it was not a matter of whether it was a trap or not, but that it was better to solve the mutant beast in front of him first.

"It's a beetle snake!" Jian Xiaozhi saw the head of the mutant beast emerging in front of him, and immediately analyzed the beetle snake. I didn't expect to use the knowledge of the book so quickly, but what made Jian Xiaozhi feel strange was that the beetle snake in front of him was a little different from the description in the book. In particular, a hint of red appeared in the pupils of both eyes, which made Jian Xiaozhi subconsciously pay attention.

Originally, Jian Xiaozhi wanted to remind Bi Qian, but she had already followed the other team members to deal with this beetle snake.

"Xiao Zhi, you stay here first, and I'll come back after killing this beetle snake. After Bi Qian finished speaking, he rushed forward with the big knife, and attacked the beetle snake with an ice skill.

But to Jian Xiaozhi's surprise, the strength of the beetle snake in front of him was a little weak. It is even weaker than the mutant beasts of the same level that I have encountered before.

"No, according to the size level of this beetle snake, it is definitely more than lv22, but why is the strength exerted not as good as a mutant beast of lv20. Jian Xiaozhi continued to analyze, but half of the body of this beetle snake was lurking in the swamp, and he couldn't see the whole body.

According to the analysis of the beetle snake with half of its body exposed in front of him, this beetle snake is at least twenty meters, and it is three to four meters longer than an adult beetle snake.

However, Jian Xiaozhi found that the lower half of this beetle snake was a little thick.

At this point, he remembered the explanation of the mutant beast in the book. There is a sentence that Jian Xiaozhi pays attention to, during the pregnancy of mutant beasts, their strength will decrease, but it is not a good time to kill them, because pregnant mutant beasts often have their own kind guarding nearby.

"Sister Bi Qian, hurry up and leave, there are other beetles here!"

However, when Jian Xiaozhi finished shouting, a beetle snake appeared on the left side of the swamp and directly devoured a team member.

"Damn!" Ken knew it was a bounty trap, a trap for him. And Bi Qian, they were affected by themselves.

"Boss Gao, I will never let you go!"

Jian Xiaozhi originally wanted to rush forward, but at this time, Dadao retreated with the rest of the team under the cover of Biqian's ice.

"Xiao Zhi, why did you rush up, hurry up and retreat!" said Dadao angrily.

"I, I. Jian Xiaozhi wanted to analyze, but now he didn't have any extra time to analyze, and immediately said to the big sword: "It is estimated that we have entered the nest of the beetle snake, if it is too late to return now, if it is too late, we may be buried here." ”

When they become hunters, they are ready to be devoured by mutant beasts at any time, but they are absolutely unwilling to die because they are designed to die.

"Captain, Xiao Nao is right. While mission failure can have reputational impacts, we can't afford to die of suffocation if we fall for the design. One of the team members said that they were already angry at the death of a team member. Now they believe that this is definitely a trap for them to die.

Of course, they didn't blame Xiao Zhi, if it weren't for his reminder, I'm afraid there would be more than one sacrifice now.

After everyone had reasoned about the attack range of the beetles, the rest of the beetles appeared at the same time.

"Hiss"

Everyone gasped, and there were more than twenty beetle snakes, large and small. Even if all the Wolf Hunters attacked, they might not be able to take down these twenty beetle snakes.

"Damn, if I can go back alive, I will definitely not let go of that high heaven!" Dadao gritted his teeth and said, "You go first, I'll break it later!"

However, no one wants to leave.

The first to stand up was Bi Qian, who said: "This is not the time for the captain to be a hero, we have to go together!"

"Captain, let's go together!"

However, Jian Xiaozhi continued to analyze, although they are now in the nest of the beetle snake, but they are not without life. No matter how slim it is, they won't give up.

Suddenly, Jian Xiaozhi remembered that the beetle snake had a companion creature, which grew out of the beetle snake during its pregnancy. If it was usually no one who cares about the plant, but now it's different, the plant may be able to save them.

"Captain, we still have a chance to leave. I remember that the beetle snake had a semi-living plant called the snake tongue grass, which only grows during the beetle snake's pregnancy in the fluid left by the beetle snake's mating. As long as we get it, we can apply it to the body to avoid the detection of the beetle snake. Jian Xiaozhi said immediately.

Although Jian Xiaozhi said a glimmer of life, they didn't know what the snake tongue grass looked like.

After rejoicing, he was disappointed again, because the beetle snake had begun to besiege him.

"Xiao Zhi, where are you going?" Bi Qian suddenly shouted, but Jian Xiao Zhi had already rushed out, and it was too late to stop him.

However, Dadao found that there were a few small grasses in the direction where Jian Xiao rushed out, which should be the snake tongue grass he said in his mouth.

"Why is this kid so reckless!" Broadsword waved the long knife, but was slowly forced back by the beetle snake, and then surrounded by them.

"Xiao Zhi, you must be fine. Biqian prayed as she used the ice seal to create an isolation and thwart the siege of the beetles.

At this time, Jian Xiaozhi had already rushed to the snake tongue grass, ready to pull it out with one hand.

However, a beetle snake suddenly appeared in front of Jian Xiaozhi.

"It's not good, Xiaozhi is in danger!" Bi Qian was immediately shocked when he saw a beetle snake appear in front of Jian Xiaozhi.

You must know that even the strength of the juvenile beetle snake exceeds lv13, and in Bi Qian's eyes, Jian Xiaozhi's strength is at most a junior hunter, and he can't deal with the juvenile beetle snake at all.

However, the big knife said: "Bi Qian, believe that kid, he will do it!"

"But ......"

Bi Qian wanted to speak and stopped, but unfortunately she didn't have time to help Jian Xiaozhi, so she had to believe that he could kill the young beetle.
