Leon and his party walked hundreds of meters in the forest swamp, except for the giant crocodile they had encountered before, the surroundings had been quiet, and it could be said that not even a single small creature had appeared.

But the message brought back by the elven ranger heralded the end of this comfortable journey.

Leon also confirmed the impending crisis, and the situation he perceived was different from what the elves had discovered, but it was too late to confirm at this time, he immediately said: "Find a place to stay!"

As you go deeper into the swamp, the water is almost ankle-deep, and only a few layers of soil are exposed to the surface, but the area is pitifully small. In addition, there are some thick and thin tree roots scattered on the surface of the water, and a very small number of decaying tree trunks that have collapsed into the water, and they are stepping on these places where they can barely settle down, and if they can't find it, they have to wade some distance, where can they find a place where everyone can settle in such an environment?

Li Ang also discovered this embarrassing fact, his eyes turned around, and he was trying to find a relatively suitable position, but a weak voice came from behind him.

"I want to ...... I can give it a try. ”

It was Luna, an elven girl, who was holding the rough staff that was almost the same length as her height, and looked nervously at the young man in front of her.

Leon suddenly remembered the rumors about the elven druid, but the other party was just a small child, and he was only a junior druid, what could she do?

However, since there was no other way, the young man simply held the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor. First keep his expression calm, then lower his voice and say to the little girl who looked a little scared: "Don't be nervous, just try." No, it doesn't matter. ”

Luna licked her lips, her expression calming from moment to moment, and then she raised her staff, a strange burst of syllables coming out of her throat.

Gradually, a strange wave gathered from all directions, and green points of light began to linger at the top of the staff. This is a natural spell, and the surrounding fluctuations are the power of natural power that exists alongside the power of battle techniques, arcane methods, sacred, darkness and other powers.

Not only Cheney and Boris, but even Leon and his companions were staring at the little girl. The first is to wait for the effect of the spell, and the second reason is, of course, because natural spells are rarely seen in humans.

But...... The spell seemed to be working a little slowly, and at this moment there was already the sound of rushing water not far away. It seems that a large school of fish is jumping and frolicking in the stagnant water, and at the same time there is a dense "buzzing" sound around it, and the weaker ones will feel upset after listening to it for a while.

"Even if it can take effect, it may not be too late......"

Leon felt that the little girl seemed a little unreliable, and she couldn't just stand here and wait. So he quickly gave instructions with his eyes and gestures to get everyone to gather in a circle. The formation of a rudimentary but completely free defensive formation is just right for the shape you are facing now.

At this time, the splash of water in the stagnant water can be clearly seen, and hazy shadows have appeared in the fog, and just when everyone is on guard, Luna happily says, "It's successful!"

A green glow emanated from the staff and landed on the roots of the surrounding trees, but as soon as it came into contact with the scattered root system, it immediately changed.

They begin to grow at an accelerated rate visible to the naked eye. And this rate continues to accelerate, with thicker and thicker roots extending from the stagnant water and the soil. As long as they touch, they will entangle and pull each other. Almost in the blink of an eye, a large area of "weaving" roots of various shapes appeared near these people, not only thicker than the depth of the stagnant water, but also large enough to hold everyone.

"Well done!" said Leon with a heartfelt sigh.

Then the people stepped on it, first placing Sophia's stretcher in the center, then Leon, Katarina, Yelena, and Boris in four directions, the mountaineers in a slightly lower position, and the rest in the center, ready to support in either direction.

As fast as they could, the splash in the stagnant water was already within five meters, and Luna suddenly exclaimed, "So many snakes!"

"Yes," said Leon, "prepare for battle, Melissa, watch out for the roots under your feet!"

The distance of five meters was almost instantaneous, and as soon as Leon's voice fell, the splash that was surging forward suddenly fell silent, but then the stagnant water seemed to be stepped on by an invisible giant beast, and a large splash of water splashed high, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not a splash, but a gray-white poisonous snake with the thickness of a wrist jumped up at the same time, and pounced on these humans in the air!

Various lights appeared from the crowd, knights and mages unleashing positive effects on their companions, and Leon's lion-like roar caused a faint yellow glimmer to appear on everyone's skin. In the next moment, the cold light of the sharp weapon, the light and shadow of the fire and ice, the shock wave of the fist, the cold light as the shadow of the arrow pierced through the air, all of them erupted at the same time, sweeping away hundreds of swamp vipers that pounced on them in an instant.

But as soon as the first wave of poisonous snakes was eliminated, the second wave of poisonous snakes jumped again, and then the attack of these cold-blooded creatures appeared like the waves of a rising tide, one wave after another appeared almost continuously, but fortunately, Luna used the roots of the surrounding trees to form a thick "mat", at least they didn't have to worry too much about whether there would be leaking poisonous snakes in the stagnant water under their feet.

Li Ang swept out with a sword, cutting off the bodies of at least a dozen poisonous snakes, and seeing that these small creatures were broken in two, the front half of their bodies could still twist and crawl from the roots of the tree, and he immediately stepped on them and crushed them into pulp.

In fact, the attack power of the snake group is not strong, the most terrible thing is the poison, although Leon himself has a strong physique, and there is a fifty percent toxin reduction, it is estimated that even if it is bitten by hundreds of snakes at the same time, it is not a big problem, but the vast majority of the companions are not, so we must strictly guard against it, and we must not let any snake enter the middle of the crowd, especially to protect Sophia, Erin and Luna and other girls with weak physiques.

Fortunately, there are more third-order powerhouses in this trip, such as Katarina, a sword and shield knight, one person can completely block the attack of the snake group in the direction, those poisonous snakes that pounced on her shield were all shocked into pulp, and the arc light slash that appeared from time to time also greatly reduced the number of snakes in front of her, so the mountain people behind her had moved to other places to concentrate on dealing with the small number of poisonous snakes that climbed up along the roots of the trees.

Yelena and Boris are also not small in lethality, but after all, they don't have a strong protection like the Sword and Shield Knight, and they still need a few mountain people to assist, but on the whole it should be more than enough to hold the defensive line.

"My lord, those things are flying over!" Dan said to Leon as he lowered his bow and arrows.

At this time, the "buzzing" sound in my ears was getting closer and closer, and in the light of the explosion caused by the fireball technique falling into the distance, the shadows that slowly "moved" from the mist also appeared completely in sight, and it turned out that these so-called shadows were all swarms formed by countless red or green pointed flies!

“...... Corrupt swarm!" Erin said suddenly. (To be continued......)
