As soon as I walked through the pass, I was greeted by a thick smell of moisture and an indescribable smell of decay.

Gehr took a sip, and felt that his lungs began to twitch subconsciously, and then it spread to the internal organs, which made people naturally vomit.

That's what swamps taste like.

Gell glanced at the apprentices around him, and found that most of them didn't look very good, and it seemed that the smell of this place was also quite destructive to them.

After leaving the valley, the fog began to dissipate, but the vision was already affected. Looking ahead, you can see countless gray shadows crawling on the ground, and between the gaps between these shadows, there is a heavy black, which is the color of the swamp.

Buzz Buzz......

There was a deafening noise, and it quickly approached the crowd.

Gehr looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a gray cloud rushing towards the people.

It is a swarm of mosquitoes that smell the scent of humans.

"Garden. ”

At this moment, Luke suddenly spoke.

And with Luke's voice, a gray-robed apprentice stepped forward, muttering some phrases that Ger had never heard, and swayed forward in his hand, and a handful of white powder flew forward, forming a pale white mist, blocking the swarm.

The gray and white mist suddenly collided together, and the insect swarm seemed to lose its judgment of the position of everyone present at once, and scattered in a daze, and then dispersed after a while, and the buzzing gradually disappeared.

This situation made Gehr also breathe a sigh of relief, and directly disbanded the Wind Concealment Technique that had been about to build a model and inspire, and it seemed that Luke had been prepared for this situation.

After solving the warm hug that the swamp brought from the first meeting. Luke continued with the group. However, instead of heading straight into the swamp, he led the group to the side along the mountain wall at the edge of the swamp.

Walked around for a while. The group followed Luke to a recess in the inner wall of a mountain wall, with a protruding stone wall blocking the entrance like an outstretched palm. Shut out the scent of the swamp.

Walking into this blocked flat area, there are already several tents erected here, and it looks like a campsite.

Or rather, it was, as it was apparently inactive for a while, and it looked like it had been abandoned.

"It's been at least seven days since the people here left......

Gehr walked around the camp, which could only hold twenty or thirty people, but found some traces, and from the decay of some of the food, he probably judged the cause of the accident here.

"Pretty much, my men send supplies here every two weeks, and it's a few days before the next supply. It seems that this is what happened during that time. Luke listened to Gehr's words and nodded.

"How do you decide?" Barnsley said.

"Keep going in, it's not so easy to break through inside, no matter who it is, since they are on the opposite side of my Priest family, then I will make them pay the corresponding price. ”

Listening to Luke's words, Gell could imagine how hideous his face was in the shadow of the hood.

"Then do what you think, I will follow you, and I will be worthy of the two things you gave me. Barnsley chuckled. Shows his attitude.

"Hmm. Luke turned to the other apprentices who were waiting for his decision and said loudly, "Go ahead." ”

The team moved on, this time on a dirt road that led into the swamp's interior.

The swamp here was very quiet, and the gray shadows came closer. It was all the kind of dead wood that had rotted a little, and a gray mist was floating everywhere at a glance.

Walking on the dirt road that traverses the swamp like a, Gehr's gaze sweeps the water on the side of the road from time to time. I saw that the filthy water was constantly shaking gently, hitting the roots of the reeds. There was a rattling sound.

Weirdly, in that water. There seemed to be strands of red surging, like blood mixed in the water from nowhere, but it did not dissolve, as if the obsession of the unjust soul was condensed.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the red color is not blood, but the optical illusion of some kind of red fine algae gathering together.

The most common creatures here are large clusters of mosquitoes, which buzz like a dark cloud covering the sun, and if ordinary creatures strayed into this place, they would often be sucked into only skin and bones within a few hours. Of course, once you fall into the water, those greedy people who live in the water will not let go of this good meal.

But fortunately, with the blessing of some special spell, everyone did not attract the attention of these swamp dwellers, and they were able to travel unhindered along the way.

Despite this, in this strange place, the apprentices have raised their vigilance to the highest level, and no one has any signs of slackening, and they are all paying attention to the surrounding situation in various ways.

The group walked slowly along the dirt road, no one spoke, only the sound of slightly heavy breathing and the sound of weeds being trampled underfoot.

Slowly, Gell noticed that the sky that had been gray under the gray fog suddenly began to slowly become a layer of red, and the color became darker and darker as they advanced.

Soon, all the apprentices noticed this change, and their faces became more and more solemn, but Luke didn't seem to notice it, and still walked in the front to lead the way, and the people behind didn't say anything, but just watched the movement around more carefully.

"Everyone, get ready. Luke's voice suddenly came from the front, "It's almost time to get to the real entrance." ”

After hearing this, the apprentices took out their weapons one after another, and they had already entered a state of imminent battle.

After saying this, Luke still did not stop, and continued to lead the group forward.

As the minutes ticked by, everyone felt as if they had entered a strange place, and the surrounding scene began to distort a little, as if it was covered with a layer of uneven glass, except that the dirt road under their feet was still straight and not bent at all.

The sky had been completely taken over by red, as if endless blood was flowing from some wound in the sky, and the intense red light stained everything below the same color. The gray apprentice's robes had turned crimson, like congealed patches of blood.

An inexplicable sense of depression weighed heavily on everyone present.

Gehr's sense of smell, paralyzed by the putrid smell of the swamp, suddenly returned. But a moment later, a thick fishy smell came. It's like the kind of fish that has been caught and left out for a few days.

"A large area of distorted illusion force field is discovered, and the strength of the force field is measured, and people with a spirit value of 6 or less will fall into an irregular illusion......"

This is the warning that the soul module sends when the sky starts to turn red, but before, that spirit value was only 2, but now it has been increased to 6, which already means that except for wizards and excellent apprentices, everyone else will be overwhelmed by endless illusions once they come here. Finally buried in this dangerous swamp, forever a part of it.

This also indicates that if there is an enemy ahead, it is likely to be another wizard or apprentice.

"It's here!" Luke finally stopped, and said loudly.

It's just that the voice seems to be a little ethereal, obviously someone else is in front of him, but the voice seems to come from a long distance. Gehr looked ahead and saw that Luke was still in front of him with a swamp and the dirt road, no different from what he had passed before.

"Attention everyone!"

I saw Luke with his head down. With his hands folded in front of his chest, he continued to make complex gestures, and strings of unheard spell casting words continued to emanate from his mouth, and they became more and more high.

With Luke's movements. Gray ripples spread out in all directions along his body, causing the entire space to begin to vibrate, producing ripples after ripples.

Clang!

Luke took a step forward suddenly. At the same time, the right hand is pointed.

The void in front of him suddenly burst into bursts of red ripples, and a golden rune appeared in vain where his finger pointed. Frozen in the air and rapidly expanding.

Phew!

It was as if something had been torn, and the void in front of Luke cracked like paper. A rift was exposed.

"Come in, everyone, this entrance has been stable for a short time. Luke said as he stepped into the rift and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Barnsley let out a strange laugh, and without hesitation, followed into the chasm.

Seeing that the two wizards had already entered, the apprentices behind hurriedly followed one by one.

Gehr followed the people around him to the rift in turn, without any stop, and walked directly in.

As soon as he entered, Gehr found that the scene around him changed rapidly, and when he came back to his senses, he had appeared in a place that seemed to be a deserted cemetery, with broken and broken stone tablets at his feet, and when he looked back, he saw the twisted iron fences on the sides of the dead wood, and the swamp environment where he was before completely disappeared without a trace.

Glancing around, Gell walked forward, and Luke, Barnsley, and the others who had come first were standing in front of them, pointing at something.

“...... Spotted them, these idiots have broken in through the main entrance. ”

As Gehr stepped forward, he heard half of Luke's words, which contained undisguised malice.

"Well, how do you say that?" Barnsley asked.

"The main gate is the strongest defense here and the direction where the spell traps are most concentrated, the first time I brought people here, I walked from the front, but I only walked a short distance and suffered heavy losses, and I had to withdraw, now I see that they have no traces of coming out, whether they can come out is a problem, but it also saves my hands and feet. ”

"Couldn't they have managed to rush in?" Barnsley continued.

"If they can even break through the defenses that Master Emler has set up for his own mausoleum, then I have nothing to say but to admit my defeat and take a detour when I see them. ”

After Luke said something to Barnsley, he turned to face the apprentices behind him.

By this time, all the apprentices had arrived.

"This is our destination, Master Emler's Spell Tower......" (To be continued......
