Chapter 314: Wetlands

Roma led Gilda and the other hunters into the wetlands. His words concealed the facts that tormented him more than ever: his companions who had died in the past. And these companions are not only those who died in this mission, but also those who died in the war against the orcs many years ago. He could still remember their faces and their blood-stained corpses vividly.

And their ghosts, who are now calling his name.

Then Rohm realizes that Glinda is calling him because she has found something:

"I only saw some movement, but I thought it was a crocodile," she whispered.

"Where?"

"Right here. Glinda pointed to a dead tree in the distance in front of her right. The side branches of the tree had long since been lost, and the upper part of the trunk had fallen off. "It's in the depths of here"

"We're spread out here. Everyone, watch out!" And they are the same, they have lost poor Simon...... He stepped into the mud and sank inside.

They never saw him again.

Glinda took half of the hunters to the west, while Rohm took the remaining three to the north. He found no prey. But he firmly believed in what the female dwarf saw, and he knew how well the swamp crocodile could hide herself. For a race that has spent most of their lives underground, Gilda has a pair of piercing eyes.

Despite her stout build, Glinda's stealth skills are top-notch, and Glinda's team patrols the edge of the water as Röm cautiously steps into the water.

Through the muddy water, people can't see what's inside. But Rohm can determine the crocodile's movement based on small changes and bubbles, but the crocodile can also sense their movements.

He glanced at Glinda, who was gesturing with an axe next to one of her companions. He has set his goals. Röm motioned for his team to lean over her.

At that moment, a crocodile leaped up from within a yard of Glinda, and it did not attack, but only tried to escape from their roundup. However, the two hunters under her command had long been ready, and they blocked its retreat. One of them slashed with an axe, cutting the blade deep into the crocodile's front leg. The injured crocodile took up a defensive position. Writhing like a hunting squad attacking. Seizing the opportunity, Glinda slashed the crocodile's spine with a blow from behind, and the crocodile twitched.

Röhm nodded. The crocodile had been largely subdued, and he was pleased with the swiftness of the hunt. Because. The sooner the gang can get home, the better.

He noticed the sound of water on his right, two crocodiles, no matter what they tasted like, a good catch for his tired teammates. So he turned around—

But it's not a crocodile. It's a swarm of sticky, but extremely dangerous creatures. They crawled slowly towards the dwarves. There were all sorts of things floating inside their trembling bodies, but most of them were bones.

"Beware!" Röm shouted. "Ooze Monster!"

Before Roma can stop him. A young warrior rushed recklessly and attacked the ooze monster. The axe sank directly into the monster's body, and his face was buried in the monster due to inertia.

And the nightmare monster sucked the hunter into its body.

Röm let out a cry of astonishment, and with his still wielding hand, he raised his weapon and attacked the monster. In the Dust Swamp, his companions have been in a similar situation. And if he wants to save people, he has to act immediately.

Rom skillfully chopped off a part of the monster, and it made him lose his knife. Then Röm reproached himself for doing something that was apparently useless. And the swallowed dwarf could not make any greater movements except for twitching inside.

With Glinda and her team still dealing with the recalcitrant crocodiles, the rest is left to Röhm and his two remaining buddies. With the addition of two other people, they surrounded the monster. They hope that since Rom's axe handle is still in the belly of the ooze monster. It may be possible for them to rescue the dwarves who have been eaten.

"For the sake of Thorrison Bearded," Röm roared and rushed towards the ooze monster, then frightened by the qiē in front of him.

The face of the dwarf that had been eaten had been partially digested by it, revealing a white skull under the thick hair. And while Röm was looking at him, his hair began to shrink and dissolve. His fears had come true, but from his previous experience with ooze monsters, he still had some time to free the dwarf.

"Stand back!" Roman, fearing the loss of his companion again, commanded,

"Beware!" A warrior returned.

Röm attacked the monster.

If Rohm's other hand is still there, now is the time to dedicate it. His burned limbs entered the body of the second ooze monster, and Röm felt his muscles ache as if they were burning.

Rohm cried out in pain, hoping to pull his arm out. But the ooze monsters clearly won't let go. He thought he might die like another dwarf.

But. From the top of the tree, a flaming bolt of fire flies right in the middle of the ooze monster that is entangled with Rom. Röm thought the ooze would extinguish the flames, but it didn't, it became very hot.

Rom smelled the oil. He also understood the archer's intentions, and he also understood that this was his last chance. He tugged at it with all his might, and his arm finally pulled out of the monster's body.

Another flaming arrow struck the monster that was still writhing. Everything inside the monster squirted out, and Röm stepped back.

The remaining ooze fled to the water's edge, but two other arrows hit it. The arrow ignited him like the first ooze monster, and he shook violently as if it were about to explode.

After retrieving his axe. Röm withdrew to his companions.

Glinda rushed to his side, "Are you okay?"

"Too good to be better," he replied, looking happily at the burning ooze monster. The remains of the second ooze monster also contain the bones of the burning dwarves: "Damn ooze ......"

She shuddered unusually and looked a little scared. "I'm going to have nightmares...... Poor Harrick. Was there really no way to save him then?"

The Copperbeard Dwarves prefer to bury their dead companions so that they can return to the earth. They see it as both an honor and a gift.

But the flames not only burned the ooze monsters, but also burned the dwarven bones to ashes.

"We can at least find his ashes," Rohm said trying to make the tragic ending seem less tragic. He looked around, wondering where the arrows were coming from.

Then, something farthest in his field of vision caught his attention. Glinda was nervous about the ooze monster's ambush.

But whatever Rohm saw, he was sure he couldn't see it now.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's too far away to see clearly," a blurry image was seen. That's all. He wasn't even sure how tall it was. The only thing Rohm knows is that it moves very fast.

But who will lend a helping hand to a group of helpless dwarves in this filthy land?

What he was more interested in, however, was what this meant for his mission?

"He's nearby. Zendari had been staring at the sky in the cave for nearly an hour, and it wasn't the first time he had been amazed at what he—and the lady in black—had feared: "Who could it be?"

The masked lady walked over. She stared at the ground in confusion for a moment, then turned to look at the Blood Elf. "He was exactly what I expected, and he got through the trials I had set. Many people either die in the ordeal or give up. His unwavering determination led him to the test. ”

"Are you coming here? I think this guy is probably a fool. ”

She tilted her head slightly, "He's that kind of person, but that makes him just as dangerous as we are." ”

Something touched Zendari: "I just felt ......"

"Yes, one of your stock-keeping little ones just met him. Don't you think that means things are starting to get interesting?"

The Blood Elf wasn't quite sure who it was—or what it was—that was trying to hack into Grimbaatar, and he just nodded. The consequences behind this matter are what he has to consider. "Now do we start over? ”

She smiled, and the reaction always made the blood elves shiver. "It's time for us to spend time with our lonely 'child', my dear Zendari. If necessary, he will be satisfied......"

As if she could hear what she said, there was a wave of hungry boos from below.

The lady in black let out a sigh into the cave. Something that had been in the dark suddenly became quiet.

"Our little poor needs to be fed. You're going to fix that, Zendari. ”

He shrugged, he was still thinking about something else: "Maybe we should kill a Void Dragon like this, this thing's appetite is a bottomless pit." ”

"We should do our best to find another source of nutrition for our little ones...... Like the self-righteous guy who can't wait to break in. Now we should probably put the Void Dragon at risk. The developmental process cannot be delayed. ”

Zendari stooped and said, "As you say, my lady. (To be continued.) )
