Chapter 53: Mud Behemoth

As for Gaia, who was wearing ordinary shoes, he didn't have to put his feet in the mud at all, and if the adventurers had paid attention, there were actually only five human footprints left on the swamp.

"Hey, magician, I've got a scratch on my arm, will it be treated. "The female swordsman Fei Man has always been suspicious of the idle magician, and happened to be careless that his right arm was injured by those withered vine trees, so he took the opportunity to find out the strength of this magician, if he knew how to heal, then at least a high-level magician.

"This kind of wound can be just a little potion. Gaia had been thinking about the swamp ruins, and she didn't know the intention of this female swordsman to test her strength, so she glanced at the wound on her hand that could not be called a wound at all, and casually took out a bottle of cone-shaped healing potion from the spatial bracelet and threw it to the female swordsman.

A look of disdain immediately appeared on Fei Man's face, and the other team members also looked at Gaia, indeed they still didn't know the strength of this magician teammate, and the captain Ethan only intuitively thought that his strength was very strong, no one knew how strong it was, at least in the past three days outside the Swamp of Despair, this magician had not made a move.

"Fiman. Captain Ethan gave his sister a look, signaling her not to be so rude, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the bottle of healing potion in Fei Man's hand, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he said with some surprise, "It's a high-grade healing medicine, and a bottle of this thing costs thousands of gold coins in the market!"

The price of those potions sold among low-level adventurers is generally not more than one gold coin, but the high-level healing potions configured by real pharmacists can bring completely different effects, if some external injuries are applied, applying these potions is almost a light healing magic released by a magister, and the wounds will even begin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, these big swordsman door packages are not without this kind of expensive potions just in case, but like this magician directly threw a large bottle to Fei Man, it is not just generous to describe。

There are a lot of such potions in the Gaia space bracelet, most of them are brought out by Meisa from the temple, Gaia herself is a magician, even if she is often injured so many potions, she can't use them up at all, and giving it to the female swordsman is a welcome gift for entering this team.

"Strange, didn't you bring anything, where did this potion come from?" Fei Man only reacted at this time, she remembered that this magician was empty-handed when he entered the swamp, and even when he talked to him just now, he didn't seem to have any place on his body to hold this potion, how could he have this thing inexplicably.

Gaia didn't answer, her eyes swept over the miasma floating in the swamp, and then said to Esen, "There's a group of poisonous lizards ahead, let's get out of the way." ”

Exploring the path in front of Omar was stunned, turned back to everyone and said, "I was about to tell you this, the poisonous lizard is not strong, but those poisonous gases have a lot of harm to us. ”

"Have you seen a lizardman here?" asked Gaia. Lizardmen, a humanoid beast, are said to be fond of living with dark elves, and these lizardmen generally act as guardians of the elves, and if they can be found, they should be closer to the site.

"Of course I saw those things that were standing like people with their tails in tow, and we worked together to kill a lizardman, but before we could take its crystal nucleus, a large group of these creatures appeared around us, and they were almost wiped out, and now I feel a little scared when I think about it," said Midira, a strong man.

"That is, the time we approached the swamp ruins, there were these powerful lizardmen everywhere, last time we stumbled into it by mistake, and we didn't draw an accurate road map, this time as long as we find that place again, we can hand back that commission, and then the royal family will naturally send strong people to explore here. Captain Essen said.

"There must be some special treasure there......" said Omar, who was wielding a short sword.

"Don't be delusional, the hordes of lizardmen we're guarding aren't for us to deal with. Anyway, the other day I saw a very strong team haunting Randiga City, I don't know if they are heading for the ruins, I think this swamp should have nothing worth exploring other than this thing. Chuli, a nobleman who came out to practice, spoke.

"How do you know they're strong, could it be that the other adventure party has already found the exact route to the ruins?" asked Esen.

"That arrogant fellow of the Magic Guild knows, Latin Law, a second-order great magician, never takes anyone seriously in Randiga City, but that day I saw this guy nodding at them, and those people who let him be a pathfinder were idle and dragging their feet. The people on their team are generally in their early twenties, and I wonder if they are students from Elmore Academy who have come out of the academy to train. Chully continued.

Elmo Academy Gaia has only recently heard about it, this academy is the most authoritative academy above the four imperial holy academies, it is said that many of the students in it are disciples or relatives of members of the Holy Alliance, all of them are powerful, and no force on any side dares to provoke them easily.

Elmo Academy does not belong to any empire, in fact, there are many such ** organizations in the continent of Eden, although they have their own territory in the territory of a certain country, but they are not subject to the jurisdiction of this empire at all, and it is naturally impossible for Elmo Academy under the protection of the Holy Alliance to be influenced by any of the Holy See and the royal family, but it is true that people in the major empires have the intention to recruit people from this academy, and most of the people in Elmo Academy do not have the concept of nationality, and even their beliefs and contracts are different.

Now Gaia also knows that among those who have entered the forbidden land of the gods like the major empires, they may not be the strongest among the young people in the Eden Continent, and when he heard the six masters mentioned by the Holy Demon Mentor Kurgao a few days ago, Gaia also asked Fei Ze about the six masters.

The six heroes refer to the six young people who are recognized as the strongest by various organizations in the Eden Continent, most of these people are the disciples of a certain peak powerhouse, or some lone rangers who really rely on life and death to fight to stimulate all their cultivation potentials beyond all their peers, not only with heavy treasures, but also with terrifying strength, when Fei Ze listed the names of those people, Gaia was also a little surprised, because among the thirty-six young people in the empire who entered the forbidden land of the gods, there was not a single one in the ranks of the six masters, and the reason why those young people with stronger strength did not enter the forbidden land of the gods was because their strength had exceeded the prohibition of the forbidden land of the gods。

And now there are two of the six strongest young people in the Elmo Academy mentioned by Chuli, and Fei Ze also made an analogy, if those people like the Empire and the Temple Race enter the Elmore Academy, if they are stratified by age, their strength belongs to the middle and lower, and those students of the Elmore Academy really put all their minds on cultivation, and it can be said that they are a group of real cultivation geniuses and madmen in the Eden Continent.

"Bypass these poisons, I don't want to be sick to my stomach tonight. "The female swordsman Fei Man didn't seem to want to delve into the topic of Elmore Academy, after all, those were not the level they could touch at all.

Others naturally agreed, although it is a considerable distance to be crossed, but those toxins are unimaginable, and even if there are antidotes, they are often useless. Now Gaia's body is already relatively weak, and the most unbearable thing is this kind of poison that damages the function of his body, so he doesn't plan to come into contact with these poisonous lizards......

It's already night after bypassing the territory of the poisonous lizard, and it's not wise to travel at night, but Gaia's use of earth magic to transform the ground of this swamp makes it much easier to set up a tent without worrying about the danger of getting stuck in the mud.

The night of the swamp is dead silent, and occasionally when the moon slips out of the dark clouds, the pale light only brings some eerie air to this desolate and damp land, and the black bubbles and strange smoke rising from the mud pool always feel like the withered claws of the undead, ready to tear the late-night adventurers into the mud and bury them forever in this swamp.

Gaia was alone in a tent, which was set up for him by the captain Esen, who was quite enthusiastic and reasonable, and did not like to treat Gaia with a jealous attitude like her sister, who did not show real strength.

In the past three days, they have been on the periphery of the swamp, and those E-level and C-level demonic beasts don't need Gaia's hand at all, not to mention that Gaia is not here to collect the magic crystal core, it would be great to find that place as soon as possible......

......

Ten days later, this adventurous team finally stepped into the area inside the swamp, Essen is indeed familiar with the swamp, and in such an almost completely similar environment, he can accurately determine the location, so that Gaia will not leave the team because of the incompetence of his teammates, although he does not expect them to have much combat power, but it is still good to be a guide.

As they go deeper, the strength of the demonic beasts that appear in the swamp also needs them to be more attentive, after all, it is possible to encounter A-level demonic beasts and B-level demonic beasts internally, and once this creature targets them, they will be wiped out.

"We were here last time, but after being attacked by a B-class monster, we lost our way and stumbled into the ruins and met the lizardmen. Captain Ethan spoke, and at this moment there was a large quagmire in front of him, which was almost like a lake, and the black bubbles kept churning outward, and from a distance it seemed that there was a terrible creature lurking beneath the sludge, waiting for those who had not committed any crime to pass them......

"Hey, it looks like someone came first, and there are some obvious footprints there. Omar, who had been at the front of the group, spoke, his gaze falling on the footprints beside the mire.

The footprints were very messy, some even overlapped, the old dry branches and leaves were trampled in the silt, and there were some larger marks near the footprints, which seemed to have been split by some swordsman with his fighting spirit, and a large gully appeared between the swamps, spreading for a distance of about thirty meters, and there was some disgusting liquid on the low trees at the end.

"It should be those people who fought the monster here. Essen glanced at the vultures that had landed on the old vine trees, and then said to the others. The reason why there are no monster corpses should have been devoured by this group of hungry vultures.

Gaia also looked around, and suddenly found that there were many of those ghoul vultures on the gray dead branches around them, these lowly creatures always liked to stand far away, timidly and longingly looking at these creatures that might become their food, and waited there with great patience, sometimes making some dry cries, as if to tell the creatures lurking in the swamp that there was a human invasion.

"These annoying things have eaten up the corpses of those demonic beasts, why don't you leave, I don't like their cries the most, it always appears in my nightmares. "The female swordsman Fei Man seems to have a penchant for complaining about everything.

"Because new food has been delivered, there is not much difference between human corpses and demonic beast corpses for them. Gaia replied lightly.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a noticeable vibration in the large mud pool, of course, it was not these creatures that cooperated with Gaia's words, but Gaia had already sensed through elemental perception that they were crawling outward, preparing to attack the adventurers who broke into this territory.

"I hope it's not the B-class creature last time. Captain Ethan glanced at the churning quagmire and unconsciously took a few steps back.

The mud pond rolls in a large area, obviously it will be a big guy, and several adventurers have begun to retreat, but it is difficult for them to continue to move forward without killing this creature, and retreating will definitely be useless.

"It should only be a high-level C-level, and it shouldn't be too difficult for everyone to deal with it together, but I hope there aren't too many of them. "The strong man Midira stood at the forefront of the battle, a large sword nearly two meters high in front of him, ready to welcome the arrival of the demonic beast.

"Three mud beasts, it doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. Captain Essen judged when he saw the creatures with half of their heads exposed. This mud beast is covered in gray sludge all over, has no eyes, but has a large mouth that occupies two-thirds of the head, although it stands like a human, but this creature is definitely not a humanoid monster, and even calling it a creature is a bit far-fetched, they are more like some elemental creatures piled up in mud.

Elemental creatures are those creatures that have no blood or flesh, they are only good at the magic of the elements they belong to, they do not have any thinking, as long as they are intruders will attack, the most troublesome thing to deal with this kind of creatures is that it is difficult to find a deadly place, because their bodies are almost all made of elements.

"Looks like those vultures are waiting to feast on our carcass. Omar spoke. Obviously, these elemental creatures could not be used as food, and the vultures naturally waited for the mud beasts to kill the adventurers before eating their corpses.
