Chapter 408 - Dangerous Step by Step
The "Misty Swamp" has a miasma emitted all year round, and there are a lot of toxins in it, if some stunned young people who don't know the depth of it break into it rashly, then I'm afraid the end will not be too good!
And the dangers go far beyond that, the swamps are of different shades, covered with dead branches and leaves, and are so camouflaged that it's easy to accidentally step into them. Unlike other places, once you make a mistake in this place, it is not a joke, and it will not give you a second chance.
Despite such a harsh environment, there are still other creatures living in it. That's not good news, though, because those creatures aren't good creatures.
Living here for a long time has made them extremely adaptable to the environment, after all, those who can't adapt to it have made fertilizer for this swamp early, and they can't survive at all.
In addition, these creatures also have different degrees of toxicity, after all, after living for a long time, they will always evolve some "specialties" according to local conditions, and these can just be used to deal with these outsiders.
The so-called "misty swamp" is not actually a bare swamp, but there are many strange trees, these trees have different postures, but without exception they all reveal a trace of weirdness, as if countless souls are crying and struggling postures, plus the deeper you go, the more the sun can't shine, which always makes people feel a sense of gloom.
And the reason why the perennial fog here does not dissipate, in addition to the miasma, is that these strange trees will emit a pale red gas from time to time, mixed with the miasma, making this place more and more weird.
The people who come here have given these strange trees a name, "Ghost Fog Tree", which is also apt!
There are not many "Ghost Mist Trees" on the periphery, but when you go to the depths, the "Ghost Mist Trees" there will reach an astonishing number, called the "Misty Ghost Forest", and the destination of Lin Yan and his party is there.
Lin Yan walked in a boat, although this fog obstructed his vision, but he knew that Liu Xiahua, who had had a conflict before, would inevitably follow them, and he was happy to do so.
To be honest, Lin Yan was really afraid that that guy would not dare to come. As long as the other party can't help but make a move, then he can justifiably leave those people in this "foggy swamp".
The three of them went smoothly all the way, because of the "gas mask" made by Lin Yan, the impact of the miasma on them was not so obvious. Although breathing is a little difficult, this small shortcoming is not unbearable.
Suddenly, Ming Ya on the side said, "Xiao Yanzi, Uncle Fei, did you hear any sounds?" ”
As soon as Lin Yan and Fei Qian stared at this, they felt an unusual sound coming, and Lin Yan also keenly sensed that there were subtle fluctuations spreading out in the swamp. This feeling should be that something is approaching!
It's not good news to have living creatures in such a ghost place, because it usually means that danger is approaching, after all, you can't expect a cute little rabbit to pop out of the swamp, and that's really a hell of a life!
After the three of them looked at each other, they quickly ran the exercises to mobilize the vitality in their bodies, concentrating on vigilance, and the living creature was slowly approaching.
Suddenly, the raft boat was violently hit, and if Lin Yan hadn't stabilized it in time, it was really possible to overturn the boat directly. And if that happens, they will be in a disadvantageous situation in an instant, after all, there is nowhere to settle in this swampy land.
However, the attack was not over, and it was only a moment before another impact came. It seems that the things in this swamp are trying to knock Lin Yan and them into the swamp so that they can get food without difficulty.
I have to say, this guy is really a little clever!
"It's not the way to go on like this!" Thinking so, Lin Yan lifted the black knife, and then slashed down, and under the blessing of the majestic vitality, the swamp was instantly separated, and the living creature that attacked them also showed its true face.
That's it, a swamp crocodile!
This thing is also called "Earth Dragon", and it is said that it has a faint trace of true dragon blood, so its physical strength is extremely powerful! And it is said that this thing has a very small brain capacity, to put it bluntly, it is a tendon, once it bites the prey, even if you kill it, it will not let go, so generally no fierce beast is willing to provoke it easily.
After all, those who are stunned are afraid of horizontal, and those who are afraid of dying are afraid of dying, this guy has all three points, and he is stunned and dying, who can stand this?
The best way for this kind of guy who is not very smart is to stay away!
The swamp crocodile in front of him was two or three feet long, covered with hard scales, like a general's armor, shimmering with a cold color in the occasional sunlight.
Its pupils are dark gold, revealing a gloomy and cunning color, which shows that the guy in front of him has a certain amount of wisdom, not the kind of stunned character who "insists on Qingshan and does not relax" as rumored.
"Alas, the rumors are not credible!" Lin Yan sighed lightly in his heart, thinking that this guy has wisdom, and it is even more difficult to deal with!
At this moment, the swamp crocodile was forced out by Lin Yan's knife, but he didn't play any detours anymore, his big mouth opened, revealing the hideous teeth inside, and he bit at Lin Yan and the others.
Lin Yan was about to make a move, when suddenly Fei Gan punched out, and the huge fist mark directly smashed the huge swamp crocodile into the air, and then fell into the swamp, stirring up a large area of sludge.
"There's no need to entangle with it, it's better to leave quickly!" Fei Gandao.
Lin Yan nodded, fighting in the swamp is not good for them, once the raft capsizes, then they will lose their foothold, not to mention that there is no substantial benefit to fighting with this swamp crocodile, that is, slaughtering it, Lin Yan and the others who have lost their tools can only return in vain.
Moreover, this swamp crocodile has almost reached the realm of the late stage of the king rank, which is almost equivalent to the martial artist of the late stage of the human acquired realm, and its skin and flesh are thick, so it will be even more difficult to fight.
And when Lin Yan and the others were about to leave, the swamp crocodile turned over and rushed towards them again, and Fei Gan's punch just now broke some of its scale armor, but it was not too seriously injured.
The intense pain in its body only stimulated its ferocity, causing it to continue attacking regardless of it. And Fei Qian also frowned slightly, and threw a few more punches, and while the swamp crocodile was knocked away, the scale armor on his body was also broken even more, and the crimson blood spread out in the swamp.
And Lin Yan is also preparing to draw a knife here, not that this swamp crocodile is worthy of him joining forces with Fei Gan, but this guy is more durable, if he doesn't solve it quickly, it's really a bit troublesome!
Just when Lin Yan was about to make a move, the change was abrupt, and he saw that not far away, there was suddenly a black pressure hidden in the swamp, which made people not see what it was, but they felt that the person who came was not good!
And the large black shadow did not stop at all, and went directly in the direction of the swamp crocodile, completely covering the latter in an instant. The swamp crocodile, which was still rough and thick just now, was tossed and rolled in an instant, trying to break free from this restraint, but to no avail.
Soon, the flesh of the swamp crocodile gradually disappeared, leaving only a large white skeleton in the swamp, which slowly sank.
Seeing this, Fei Gan's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Hurry up!" ”
At the same time as he shouted, the dark shadow had already turned around and attacked them. Lin Yan was also chilled in her heart after seeing the previous scene, and Mingya was even more bloodless, at this moment, they really felt the threat of death!
That's when you start working hard! I saw Lin Yan quickly run his vitality, and then poured it directly into a spiral device behind the raft, and at this moment, the device also quickly rotated, and then faster and faster!
"Hold on!" Lin Yan reminded him, and then suddenly increased his output force.
Sou!
The raft flew straight out like an arrow off the string, and the black shadow also pounced on the place where Lin Yan and the others had stood before, just in the air.
The black shadow wanted to continue the pursuit, but Lin Yan drove the raft boat at a rapid speed, as if riding the wind and waves, and soon disappeared from sight. And the black shadow saw that the pursuit was hopeless, so he gradually hid his figure and waited quietly again.
……
Lin Yan didn't want to urge the exercises, and he directly drove the raft out to stop from afar, and at this moment he still had palpitations, and asked Fei Gan: "Uncle Fei, what is that thing, why is it so terrifying?" ”
Fei Gan's face was also not good-looking, and he paused and said, "That's the 'God Devouring Worm'!" ”
Mingya on the side said suspiciously: "Bugs? ”
Fei Qian nodded and continued: "These are not ordinary insects, they are ancient alien species, extremely destructive, and all living beings are flesh and blood delicacies in front of them. From birth, they only need to go through some flesh and blood devouring to be able to easily reach the spirit level, and after that, they will absorb a large amount of flesh and blood vitality of living beings, and continue to advance. ”
"Moreover, they generally live in groups, and they do not grow anywhere! And in the dark shadow just now, I faintly felt the existence of the 'God Devouring Worm' close to the imperial rank, with its leadership, even if the martial artists of the Innate Realm did not have enough life-saving means, in front of them was just a mass of blood food that could move! ”
When Lin Yan and Ming Ya heard this, they were both awe-inspiring in their hearts, and once again felt the horror of this "God Devouring Insect"!
"It's just, how did this near-extinct thing end up here?" Fei Qian still had doubts in his heart.
It seems that this "misty swamp" is far more dangerous than the rumors, and there is a great horror hidden in it! If you are not careful, even the innate realm yourself is at risk of falling here.
Thinking of this, he was faintly worried, this trip, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!
Fortunately, the crisis was temporarily over, and the three of them continued to move forward. It's just that Lin Yan used some of the traps left on the raft under the previous crisis, but this thing can't be used frequently, and it will completely collapse after about one or two times.
It's not that Lin Yan's vitality is insufficient or that his skills are not good, but that the materials that can be found here are limited, and the time is tight, so the durability of that spiral device is not high. If you give him enough time and high-strength materials, it will be enough to continue sailing with this means.
But it's useless to think about these now, it's better to find the two elixirs earlier, and it's better to leave this place, as it gradually deepens, the uneasiness in Lin Yan's heart is gradually deepening......
The crane dove, Liu Xia Hui and others who had followed Lin Yan before were completely lost at this time, and the crane dove smiled and said, "What about people? ”
Liu Xia was also secretly anxious in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Yan and the others were gone, is this a living hell?
Previously, in order not to be discovered, they deliberately opened up some distance, but they could also identify the approximate direction of Lin Yan and the others. But at this time, all that greeted him was a misty miasma, but there was no half a figure.
Yanagi waved and said: "It is said that it is impossible for that kid to find us, I think it should be too thick fog, which affects our judgment of the direction." ”
The crane dove didn't speak, but thought to himself, "Is that really the case? ”
What was supposed to be a pleasant hunting trip is now not going well!
"Forget it, let's get down to business first! As for that kid, let's talk about it when I meet him later! Thinking so, the crane dove ordered his men to discern and then go in a certain direction.
He also came this time for his own purpose, but he didn't just accompany the willow to wave his family!
