Chapter 215: Swampy Plains

"Over here? Are you sure? Xiao Hei tilted his neck and asked as he looked at the stop on his shoulder, pointing a finger in the direction of due south.

"Chirp." Phoenix Jianguo shook his little head that was scorched by the fire, and chirped a few times.

After camping at the boundary line of the Lingzuka Mountain jurisdiction for the night, resting for a while, and roughly confirming the direction of the Phoenix Jianguo, the third and Xiao Hei embarked on the journey again.

Further south out of Yecheng, there is an endless plain, different from the desolate yellow sand plain before, this place is a place where the land is 'fertile' and full of greenery. The scenery during the journey was pleasant, and even the mood of the travelers gradually improved.

Finally, the third child put aside his worries about Jiang Yi's safety for the time being, and while walking, he hummed a widely circulated ballad, "You carry the burden, I lead the horse~"

"Oh, I beg you to stop singing, it's really ugly!" Xiao Hei couldn't help but complain.

"What do you know, looking at the uninhabited appearance around you, there is not even a serious road under your feet, maybe there will be some poisonous insects and beasts hidden in the hidden place, I will 'make' some movement, in fact, the most important thing is to give those poisonous insects and beasts a wake-up call, so that they can 'know the difficulties and retreat'." The third child explained seriously.

Xiao Hei listened to the third child's explanation, and couldn't help but nod very approvingly, "...... Well, I think that as soon as your five-tone singing voice comes out, it will really scare away those guys hiding in the shadows. ”

"Hey, hey, that's a natural ......" Lao Sanhan smiled and 'touched' the top of his head, and then quickly reacted to the deep meaning in Jiang Yi's words, "Stinky boy, even your third brother dares to make fun of it!" ”

With that, he stretched out his hand to hit him. Seeing this, Xiao Hei hurriedly dodged away.

After laughing for a while, Xiao Hei couldn't help but say, "Third brother, haven't you been here when you traveled around before?" ”

The third child shook his head, "Zhou You's here to find capable people to compete in martial arts within the entire Youdu City, what can you do here where birds don't." Moreover, this place is no longer under the control of the Five Ghost Emperors of the Hidden Capital, compared to the no-man's land between the mountains that connect the mountains governed by the Ghost Emperor, this is the place where the real wilderness is, and places like this often hide unknown dangers......"

There is another sentence that the third child did not say, that is, in such a place, it is so difficult to survive alone, and I don't know how Jiang Yi is doing now.

……

All the way to the south, with the continuous migration of the two footsteps of Lao San and Xiao Hei, the surrounding vegetation was gradually replaced by moss, reeds, and grass, and the tall deciduous woods were almost gone, and the rest were only willows, birches, larches and other moisture-loving and waterlogging-tolerant tree species that grew together in twos and threes. In addition, the third and two children also clearly felt that the ground under their feet seemed to become more and more muddy and soft.

"This road is getting harder and harder......" Halfway through the words, one of the third children sank directly into a muddy land, "Wow, what is this!" "The third child raised his 'leg' and pulled it out, but who would have thought that he only pulled out a bare foot, and his own boot was still deep in the mud.

"Tsk, that's a real nuisance." In desperation, the third child had to bend down and use his hands to pull the boot out of the dirt. Pulling out his shoes, the third child just breathed a sigh of relief, but found that his feet had sunk into the wet and soft soil again. For a while, the third child had to be in a hurry to 'mess up' again, although he also tried several ways to get out, but he still took care of this end, but he couldn't take care of that head, and his whole body was already stuck everywhere with wet mud, and that look was really funny and embarrassing.

Looking at Xiao Hei's side again, that look is not much easier than the third child.

In this way, after about half a day or so, the third child and Xiao Hei completely broke free from the shackles of the "sticky" quagmire, and each found a small piece of solid land to sit down.

"Hmph, I'm really tired this time, I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary mud floor could be transformed into such a 'peebling' 'flower'. Alas, now I know that it is very powerful, and my body does not dare to move at all. The third man gasped and said with a sad brow, "In the past, I only knew that some sandy land could make people sink, but I didn't expect that this dirt land also has such a ability, this time it can be regarded as a sight." It's just that we don't dare to move, but how can we continue on the road? ”

Xiao Hei responded, "There is still some solid land near this wet mud, let's be careful when we move forward, as long as we cross this boundary, it will be fine." ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." The third child drooped his head and said.

After that, the two of them rested for a while before they regrouped and set off. Because the ground was full of plants such as moss and artemisia grass, it was really impossible to see what the land below was at first glance, so the third child sacrificed his big sword, and threw the Ice Spirit Sword specially entrusted to him by Yu Wei before setting off to Xiao Hei for the purpose of exploring the way.

In this way, although the speed of the two of them has slowed down a lot, they are not as embarrassed as before.

However, things did not go as smoothly as the two of them had expected.

As the two of them continued to move south, the solid ground under their feet diminished little by little, while the wet swamp continued to increase. The stagnant water in the low-lying areas gradually 'revealed' its original appearance, and aquatic plants such as lotus 'flowers' and water lilies occupy a dominant position here.

The swamp quietly 'exposed' its minions in a very warm way......

In the evening, Xiao Hei and Lao San, who were struggling to move forward in the swamp, finally fell into an unprecedented predicament, and as far as the eye could see, in addition to the puddles of stagnant water, there was a green muddy ground with unknown meaning, in such an environment, the two really did not dare to try it easily.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines quietly on the vibrant swamp here, and the same golden shadows are 'shot', which inexplicably makes the whole swamp look more soft, like this beautiful scenery, whether it is Xiao Hei or the third child, it is rare to see it on weekdays, but at this time, these two people, no matter who they are, have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The night came silently beside the two of them. q
