Chapter 5: Swamp Station
"Huh?" Tang Lin looked at him, "Last time you went hunting that thousand-year-old dryad, did you succeed?"
Hong Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I really want to tell you about this, last time we went hunting, although there were warriors to go, and brought a large number of talismans you sold to us, but the power of the thousand-year-old tree demon is really beyond imagination, the warrior we invited was almost buried in the hands of this monster, the fog swamp has been a little uneven recently, if you want to go, it is better to be careful." β
Tang Lin's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "I know, thank you for the reminder, I'll go first." β
"Be careful. Hong Cheng worried.
Tang Lin waved his hand, left the Red Carp Gang, and then walked towards the city gate along the way, and soon passed the inspection of the guards and left the Dragon Elephant City.
A wide moat, a choppy river.
Tang Lin looked at the verdant mountains in the distance, and there was a sense of comfort in his heart, since he was a child, this was the first time he had left Dragon Elephant City.
"The Misty Swamp is to the west of Dragon Elephant City, thirty kilometers ahead. According to the geographical records taught by the academy, after leaving the crowded city gate, Tang Lin performed his swift body technique in a remote place, flying like a spirit monkey in the mountains and jungles.
"There are mountains everywhere outside, and there are wild beasts hidden inside, and hunters should come to hunt them often. Tang Lin was running among the mountains, his palms were climbing among the trees and vines, and suddenly his palms were shaken, feeling cold and slippery, and when he looked up, the turquoise vines he grabbed were a poisonous snake!
"Hmph!" his fingers pressed slightly, pinching the seven inches of the poisonous snake.
Click!
The sound of bones shattering sounded, and the poisonous snake immediately softened, its tail still twisting, and it was casually thrown away by Tang Lin.
"Fortunately, when I left, I listened to Xiao Ash's words and refined a few antidote pills, and when I encountered ordinary poisonous snake monsters, I didn't have to be afraid at all. Tang Lin smiled in his heart, and quickly climbed over the hill and walked towards the misty swamp.
It didn't take long for Tang Lin to come to the periphery of the misty swamp, running all the way consumed a lot of his physical strength, sweating all over, stopping on a hillside, looking from afar, only to see an open place, there was a small village, like a temporary post station.
"Huh?" Tang Lin was curious, and after a few sprints, he ran to the outside of this post station, only to see that on several major roads nearby, people were constantly walking together and walking into this post station.
Tang Lin found that most of these people were men, and they were strong, either burly and tall, or lean and capable, each of them was wearing leather or armor, and carried a variety of different weapons in their hands.
Tang Lin walked in along the crowd and found that although this post station was small, it was well-equipped, with several blacksmith shops, artisan shops, and leather sewing shops, as well as teahouses and taverns for people to rest.
"Dog and tiger teeth, three or two, used to forge daggers are excellent materials, only the last three, someone wants. β
"Blood wolf skin, ten taels and one piece, everyone come and take a look, take a look......"
Tang Lin looked down the stalls where they were shouting, and saw three inch-long white teeth, still stained with blood, obviously just obtained from the beast, and sold them directly here. And the bloody wolf skin exuded a strong smell of blood, dyeing the fabrics of the stalls red.
"My father said that some martial arts students specialize in hunting beasts to make money after practicing martial arts, but I didn't expect there to be so much, but my father has always said that practicing martial arts is just to strengthen the body, not to kill, not to fight. Tang Lin's expression was excited, looking at everything around him, as well as the faint bloody aura that filled the air, as if his pores all over his body were open.
"Is there anyone, we are the Red Carp Gang, and we need two high-level martial artists to enter the swamp hunting together. On a high platform, several young men with a red carp embroidered on their chests shouted loudly.
When the people around heard that it was the Red Carp Gang, many people immediately gathered.
"Where's the kid. A few people passing by Tang Lin's side glanced at him, and someone said to Tang Lin: "Little friend, are you lost, or have you been robbed by fierce beasts at home?"
In such a place, there are often businessmen who resell goods, but they are looted by wild beasts, which is why this young man asks.
Tang Lin shook his head and said, "I'm here to hunt." β
"Hunting?" the man noticed the rough leather on his body, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little friend, didn't your parents care about you, did you know that it is dangerous to go out hunting at such a young age?" β
Tang Lin didn't want to say more, and turned his head to look to the side.
At this time, the young men of the Red Carp Gang who were shouting suddenly saw Tang Lin, and one of them rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to realize that he was not mistaken, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly pushed away the crowd and crowded towards Tang Lin.
"Tang Gongzi, why did you come here, are you here to hunt?" the young man looked at Tang Lin in surprise.
"Are you?" Tang Lin looked at him suspiciously, he didn't seem to know this person.
"I've seen you as a doorman before. The young man said happily: "I heard that you have forced our captain of the axe to be helpless, and the gang leader praises you as a young hero!"
Tang Lin touched his nose.
In this way, the events of that day seemed to spread.
"Tang Gongzi, you come with us. The young man looked at Tang Lin expectantly, and said, "A few of us have a lot of experience in hunting in the wild, and we will definitely be able to help you, the helper said that if you meet Tang Gongzi outside, no matter what you ask, we will try our best to do it." β
Tang Lin thought of Hongxue in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "I want to go alone, and I will have a chance to be together again in the future." β
The young man was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "That's okay, Tang Gongzi, my name is Zhang Wolf, if you need anything, you can just command." β
"Hmm. Tang Lin nodded.
After a few words of greeting, the wolf retired, returned to the high platform, and continued to shout.
After he left, the eyes of the people around him fell on Tang Lin, and secretly recorded his appearance, most of the people here are often mingling, many people are familiar with each other, Tang Lin's new face, plus Zhang Wolf's words, let them know that this is a master who can't be provoked!
Zhang Wolf and the others quickly gathered people, because they were the Red Carp Gang, full of prestige, there would be no such thing as being framed by their own people during hunting, so everyone was willing to join.
Tang Lin took a turn in the post station, and then prepared to leave the post station and head to the Misty Swamp.
"Kid, are you here to hunt?" A girl in red with a smile on her back, carrying a scimitar, stood in front of Tang Lin.
A kind smile and beautiful cheeks are always good feelings. Tang Lin just glanced at her, then shook his head and left directly.
The girl in red was stunned, looked at Tang Lin's departing back, bit her lip slightly, turned around and walked to an alley, and said inside: "That little ghost is not fooled, no way, let's go hunting." β
"This little ghost is very clever, and the beauty trick actually fails. Someone inside chuckled.
"Hmph!" the girl in red was indignant.
......
After leaving the post station, only about a kilometer or two, there is a misty swamp.
Tang Lin looked up, the verdant dead trees shaded the sun, and the swamp was full of a gloomy feeling, which made people feel hazy.
"The experience began. Tang Lin carried the burden well, and Xiao Ash and some items were placed inside.
Sou!
The figure flashed, and it jumped into the swamp.
"According to the book, the most in the swamp is the mud, poisonous snakes, I came for the first time, I don't know the map, it's better not to go by land. Tang Lin said secretly in his heart.
He leaped and landed like a feather on a large branch, swiftly sweeping deep into the swamp.
"There are too many people hunting on the periphery, so I'm going to look for monsters inside. Tang Lin accelerated and leaped between the branches of the big tree, heading straight for the depths of the swamp.
A few kilometers or so of the advance.
"Huh?" Tang Lin suddenly stopped, landed on the branches of the woods, his movements did not make a sound, he looked at a muddy concrete pool under the big tree, only to see that there was a dead wood-like gray plate bulging inside, if you look at it from the angle of the quagmire, you will only think that it is a wooden plank, but from the big tree, Tang Lin can see clearly, it is a giant toothed swamp crocodile.
"It's just a beast. Tang Lin shook his head, "It's too weak, I want to cultivate ninety-nine dragon patterns, Xiao Ash said, you must use the blood of monsters, the more powerful the blood of monsters, the greater the power of dragon patterns." β
He dodged away and moved on.
......
A waterfall with a trickling spring.
A fawn drinking from a spring with two curved antlers on top of its head, covered in colourful markings, is beautiful.
Tang Lin fell from the tree into the grass next to him, and when he saw the deer by the waterfall, he was a little surprised, and said, "There is actually this herbivore here, is it a monster change?"
"It's not a youkai change. Xiao Ash made a muffled voice in the baggage, "It was originally a monster, this is its original appearance, the patterns on its body are not patterns, but eyes, this monster is called 'loquat', and it runs very fast, look at the antler velvet on the top of this 'loquat' head, there are only three forks, it should be three hundred years of Taoism." β
"Can I deal with it?" Tang Lin whispered.
Although it is said that a warrior in the habitat can deal with thousand-year-old monsters, different monsters have different strengths and strengths. Some monsters only need to cultivate for hundreds of years, which is more terrifying than those monsters who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years.
"If you talk about power, it can't beat you, if you talk about speed, you can't beat it. Ash whispered, "It depends on your luck." β
"Hmm. Tang Lin stared at the 'loquat'.
At the moment when it lowered its head and drankβ
Sou!
The body is like an arrow off the string, and it suddenly bursts out.
