In order to chase down the executor Bach, who carried the holy weapon, Rogge and the others had to venture into the dangerous Death Swamp, the most humid and corrupt poisonous place on the continent of Euroland, a nightmare for countless adventurers, and countless dry bones were buried under every inch of the damp water.

"I hope by the time we get back, the stinky priest will be dead, and he is the one who caused us to run into such a place!" said the sullen little owl, lying on Rogge's hat and covering his head with his wings to avoid the rancid vapor emanating from the swamp.

"I don't care about Goethe's life or death, I care more about Bach. Rogge paused and looked around at the misty swamp ahead and said, "We have been following them in the direction they are going for days, but we have never found them, and we don't know if they are still alive." ”

"Maybe it's us who should be worried. Tali said uneasily, pausing beside Rogge.

She looked down at the dirty water under her feet, and with a disgusted expression on her face, she said to Rogge: "The environment here is too harsh, there is no food and clean water, and there are poisonous insects and mosquitoes everywhere. ”

"Sister Tully is right, I've been bitten all over my body!" Catherine looked at her arm in annoyance and said, and Monica, the little flower spirit who was following her, flew to the bite and said, "I'll help you deal with it, so it won't itch!"

"It's a pity that we came too hastily, if we knew we were going to come to the swamp, we should have made a little more preparation. Murphy looked back at Monica and Catherine, who were dealing with mosquito bites, and said to Rog and Tully, "It's a good thing that Miss Tully and the Lamp God are here, otherwise we wouldn't have had enough food and water." ”

"But we don't have time to prepare, the second artifact is now in jeopardy, and we must find Bach before Wilhelm. Rog looked up at the overcast sky overhead, they hadn't seen the sun in days since they entered the swamp, and the surroundings were oppressive.

He beckoned everyone to step on the muddy sewage, and walked forward with one foot deep and one shallow, surrounded by ankle-high muddy water, and could not find any clean ground, except for Tully, the other three trouser legs were wet and sticking to their legs, feeling very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Catherine exclaimed, and Rog and Tully, who were walking in front, and Murphy, who was beside her, looked back at her at the same time, only to see Catherine bow her head in horror, point to her right leg and say, "It seems that something has crawled into my lap from my pants!"

"I think I know what it is. Murphy turned to Catherine and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you!" After saying that, he leaned over and picked up Catherine, and sat her directly on his shoulder.

"Huh?" the girl looked at him in surprise, her little face flushed with shame, and Murphy asked Tali to roll up Catherine's white pants, which had been stained with sewage, and saw a few bugs lying on her fair and delicate calves.

"It's leeches. Rogge said as he looked at the bug lying on Catherine's lap.

"What are leeches, and are they delicious?" asked the little furball, looking curiously at a few bugs.

"Leeches are a blood-sucking insect that lives exclusively in sewage and feeds on the blood of animals and humans, and as for the latter question......" Rogge shrugged his shoulders and said, "Won't you go and eat a bite yourself?"

"The bugs soaked in the dirty water are so disgusting, I won't eat them!" said the little furball with a vomiting motion.

"Look, it's bleeding!" Tully cried out uneasily as she pointed at the bugs, and when they saw that there was bright red blood left from where the leeches were, Catherine shouted in horror, "Get rid of them, quick!"

Tully was about to reach out to pull the leech off, but heard Murphy stop: "No, you can't pull it directly with your hands, the leech will suck tightly on people's skin, the more you pull it, the tighter it will be, and it won't be able to pull off at all!"

"What then?" asked Tali, looking blankly at Murphy and Rogge.

"I think our guide must have a way to deal with this little bug. Rogge said as he looked back at Murphy.

"If you have salt, it's simple. Murphy replied unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Tali immediately took out the magic lamp on her waist, rubbed the golden surface to summon the lamp god, and asked him to help conjure up a little salt, and the lamp god readily agreed, and after a very exotic belly dance, the lamp god sent a jar of snow-white salt to Tali.

"What to do?" Tali thanked the lamp god and asked Murphy with the salt.

"It's easy, just sprinkle salt on the leech!" Murphy said to Tully, holding Catherine on her shoulder.

Tali then grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on Catherine's legs, where the grains of salt fell on the leeches, causing them to convulse and fall off Catherine's legs and into the sewage beneath Murphy's feet.

"Great, it's finally solved!" Catherine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bugs break away from her legs, and Monica, the little flower spirit, flapped her wings and flew to her legs, casting a spell to treat her bitten wounds, and the snow-white calves were immediately as smooth as ever.

"Thank you, thank you!" Catherine said gratefully.

"It's okay, that's what we're supposed to do. Murphy smiled and looked up at her.

Catherine looked down at him, and suddenly remembered that she was still sitting on his shoulder, and suddenly felt embarrassed, and wanted to come down but was afraid of the leeches in the water, and was a little entangled and uneasy for a while.

"I think let Murphy carry you, you don't sink anyway, he still moves on his back. Rogge looked at them from the sidelines and smiled at the right time.

"Is that okay?" Catherine said embarrassedly, and Murphy quickly shook his head and said, "No problem, I agree with Rog's decision, so be it!" After saying that, he strode past Rog and Tali with Catherine on his shoulder, and continued to walk towards the swamp.

"Don't you think they look good?" said Rog as he smiled at the backs of the two and said to Tully beside him.

"It's true, but I don't think Catherine's heart is on Murphy. Tali said as she looked at Rogge meaningfully.

"Well, it's hard to guess what a girl wants, and no one can say for sure. Rogge turned to look at the god of lights and said, "Just like now, what are you pestering the god of lights again, little villain?"

Tali looked back curiously and found that Lilith had flown to the god of lights at some point, and she circled around the god of lights, muttering something.

Hearing Rogge's question, Little Furball looked back at them with an innocent face and said, "I just want to ask Lord Lantern for a little bread and caviar, as well as steak and leg of lamb, after all, the salt for dinner is already available, we will prepare everything we want to eat at one time, and we won't have to trouble Lord Lantern God at night!"

"You're so thoughtful, you still have the heart to eat steak and lamb shank in a place like this......" Rogge shrugged his eyebrows at her and said to the lamp god, "Why don't you just give the little villain a bottle of strawberry jam, it's enough for her to eat!"

The lamp god nodded in agreement, twisted his waist and conjured a bottle of fresh strawberry jam, Rogge reached out to take the strawberry jam, and heard Lilith shout: "No, why are you ordering for me!"

"I didn't order for you, it's what I want, and you eat what I eat normally, don't you?" Rogge smiled slyly and turned around with strawberry jam to Murphy and Catherine, and Tully followed with a smile.

"Nasty bad wolf!" Little Furball looked at him angrily, and saw that the lamp god had retracted into Tali's magic lamp, so he had to flap his wings and chase Rogge.

Catherine, who was walking in front, sat on Murphy's shoulder, watching Murphy use her hands to drive away the mosquitoes and flies around her as she walked, and couldn't help but sigh and say, "I don't know why, since I entered the swamp, these bugs seem to be staring at me." ”

"These bugs are like this, they like to harass girls. Murphy said with a smile.

"But Sister Tully didn't get any bites!" said Catherine, chagrined.

"Maybe it's because she's a mermaid, the merfolk have scales on their bodies, just like the leeches just now, and the reason why it doesn't bite Tali may be because they can't bite through the hard scales on the mermaid's tail. Murphy explained softly.

"When there's clean ground ahead, I'll get you some mint leaves and apply their juice to you, it should be better!" interjected Little Flower, who was sitting on Catherine's shoulder.

"Thank you, Monica!" Catherine smiled gratefully.

Before the words fell, Murphy suddenly dodged back and raised his arms to protect Catherine, and at the same time clenched his fists and turned all the clothes on his body into hard marble, only to hear a crisp "bang", a sharp javelin hit Murphy's body, and the bullet fell into the water at his feet.

"Are you alright?" exclaimed Catherine.

"It's okay, we seem to be on the wrong track!" Murphy said as he looked around and said to Rog and Tully who were following closely.

Rogge stepped forward to scoop up the javelin in the water, and saw that the tip was sharpened, and he could discern the smell of some kind of highly poisonous herb from the smell, and he looked around, his eyes pierced through the fog of the swamp, and saw a woman standing not far away.

"I think you're right, we've upset our master. Rogge said with a meaningful look at Murphy.

I saw the woman walking slowly towards them, and dozens of women dressed in the same clothes gradually appeared in the fog behind them, all of them were dressed in light animal skin skirts, wearing ornaments made of animal bones, dark skin and tall figures, their faces were painted with different colors of oil paint, each carrying three javelins on their backs, quivers and short axes hanging from their waists, and holding a longbow in their hands.

"You wait here, I'll meet them. Rog took Lilith, who was riding on his shoulder and holding a jar of strawberry jam in her arms, and gave it to Tali as she strode over to the group of women.

The woman in the lead stopped twenty paces away from him, pointed at him and shouted, and the women behind her raised their longbows at the same time, and dozens of arrows on the bowstring were aimed at Rogge at the same time.

"Hey, girls, we're not enemies, we're just passing by, can we lay down our arms and talk?" Rogge shouted to them with his empty hands.

"Men are forbidden to enter here!" the woman said in a very strange language, which sounded very human, but mixed with the pronunciation of elven and dwarven languages, which at first glance sounded confusing.

"You mean to get us out of here, right?" asked Rogge, guessing the meaning of the other man's words.

"No," said the woman, whose face was as cold as oil, pointed her javelin at them sharply, "There are only two ends for men who enter here, death or becoming a slave!"
