My Magic Age

Finally, we stepped into the swamp area at dusk on the third day. There were dense mangroves and large banyan trees with closely connected roots in the rainforest. The swamp ran through it. Under many dead and rotten leaves were some bottomless quagmires that could swallow the entire giant elephant. In this swamp forest, if you step on it carelessly, your whole leg will be completely trapped.

In the quagmire full of foul smell, there are poisonous scorpions with giant claws. The black tail needles are highly toxic. Even a minotaur like Luka, who has a strong physique, has a leg swollen like an elephant's leg. If it weren't for the antidote prepared by senior sister Erica in advance, I'm afraid Luka would be forced to return to Xinliu Valley because of his temporary mobility.

'Walking on water'

Between the woods

This swamp area

This magic undoubtedly helped me solve the biggest problem brought to us by the environment. Every member of the team has the magic effect of 'walking on water'.

So this muddy swamp is like solid land for us, allowing us to walk freely.

This universal magic inherited from the orc tribe made the guide in the team, Miss Amy, feel very magical.

It turned out that the young guide, Miss Amy, had far less experience in jungle survival than she said.

She didn't even know that there were usually swamp crocodiles and forest anacondas lurking in the swamp. They sank among the rotten leaves in the swamp. When the prey passed through the swamp with difficulty, the swamp crocodile would swing its huge tail and gallop in the swamp, almost madly chasing the prey and forcibly dragging the prey into the mud. These prey often suffocated to death while fighting with the swamp crocodile. Of course, some were directly bitten to death by the swamp crocodile.

Amy squatted under the tree, staring at an eight-meter-long swamp crocodile hanging on the big banyan tree opposite. Its head was completely pierced by a black iron spear and nailed to the trunk of the big banyan tree. The huge tail hung in the mud and water, and it was still twitching. The blood kept flowing down the banyan tree, dyeing the mud and water under the banyan tree purple.

Justus held a skinning knife and began to skin the swamp giant crocodile's head skillfully, just like taking off a coat from the swamp giant crocodile. After peeling off the mottled and cracked crocodile skin, it was tied up in a bloody ball. Justus threw the leather at my feet with some disgust.

I put this unripened crocodile skin into a magic box. This is the twelfth crocodile skin I hunted today.

The woods were in a mess, with broken branches everywhere. A huge pit appeared in the muddy water in the swamp, as if it was blown up by a fire scale bomb.

The battle was not fierce, mainly because the giant crocodile could not be killed directly. When it was struggling to death, it turned the swamp upside down. In the end, it was the minotaur Luka who pierced the giant crocodile's skull with a black iron spear, which was considered to be completely killed.

In the stinking environment, no one was in the mood to eat roasted crocodile meat. After prying open the crocodile's skull and taking out the magic core hidden in the head, we abandoned the skinned swamp giant crocodile in the woods.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is this your first time to adventure in the jungle with the adventure group?" I closed the lid of the magic box, sat on it, and asked the girl Amy with a smile.

Amy shook her head vigorously and said to me seriously: "I followed a famous adventure group in Qiyan City to hunt in this jungle swamp. They didn't dare to step into this swamp easily. When they killed the swamp giant crocodile, they asked a nimble ranger to lead the crocodile to the land. This big guy is very fierce in the swamp, but it is not so scary when it runs to the land. But now... I never knew that hunting a swamp giant crocodile would be so easy. Is this the power of magic?"

"This is not the power of magic, or you can think of it as the power of the team. Everyone will do their job and everyone will cooperate perfectly with each other. Even without the help of magic, it is not too difficult to kill this swamp giant crocodile." I explained to the girl Amy.

After a short rest, we set off again in the evening when the temperature in the jungle dropped a little.

Although we kept finding the marks left by the orcs along the way, we didn't even touch their tails.

Crossing this narrow swamp in the shape of a pea bud in the rainforest, as Amy said, there is a large banyan forest in front of us. Countless roots hang down from the treetops and penetrate deep into the mud. If we want to pass through this banyan forest, we must cut off these resilient roots and open up a passage in the forest.

Amy walked around outside the banyan forest for a while. She pointed to an area with the most dense roots and said to me: "Nathaniel hid his nest in the innermost part."

Three Yelo natives cut off the roots of the banyan trees hanging down in front one by one. Amy walked in front and led us into the depths of this banyan forest. She climbed up a big banyan tree flexibly. She wanted to look back and laugh at us, but she didn't expect that the three Yelo natives actually used the roots of these banyan trees to make a soft ladder. Ying Li and I climbed up from under the tree without much effort.

This huge banyan tree covering an area of ​​nearly one square kilometer is surrounded by a swamp. It is indeed a very secret place in this jungle. A simple wooden house is built on the top of this banyan tree. I don't think it has any other function besides shelter from the rain. There are two pieces of dried meat hanging on the wall of the wooden house, a small bag of rice, a clay pot filled with water, and a thin wooden bed. made bed.

However, there are only some bird paw prints outside this wooden house, and no one has been here in recent times.

Standing in front of the wooden house, the girl Amy felt a little depressed and stared blankly at the furnishings in the house. She stayed in the house for a short while, then she gathered her mood, walked out of the wooden house, and closed the bark door of the wooden house. .

"They're not here!" Amy lowered her head and whispered in a low mood.

"Then go and look for the next place. I've only found one place now. It's normal to have no results." I walked over and patted Amy on the shoulder, encouraging her: "But having said that, Nathan This place that Neil found is really good, and I have a feeling that we are on the right track in general.”

"I hope so." Amy said and climbed down from the big banyan tree.

The tauren and Justus were waiting under the banyan tree. As for the siren descendants and the tauren, neither of them liked climbing trees very much. When they saw us coming down from the tree empty-handed, they knew the result without asking.

So the tauren once again hung the brothers Angus and Jutus on the black iron spears, and carried the two men on their shoulders very casually. There were white bone spurs stuck in every joint on Angus's body, although most of the wounds had healed. , but the place where the bone spurs came into contact had begun to fester. Angus was often in a coma along the way. He would only wake up for a short period of time when Su cast a healing prayer on him.

If you want to treat it, you need to pull out the bone spurs and remove the rotten flesh from the wound, and then let Su cast the 'Prayer of Healing' to let the wound heal.

"Please wait a minute, what do you want to do?" Jutas, who was hanging on one end of the black iron spear, shouted hoarsely.

His hand tendons and hamstrings were severed by Catalina, and his body was trapped into a rice dumpling by the ropes. If these ropes were not untied, his hands and feet might soon be completely disabled.

The tauren Luka swung his fist and punched Jutas's stomach hard, swallowing all his words immediately. He was hanging on the black iron spear and was so painful that he was sweating all over his body, but he couldn't speak. make no sound.

I stopped and stared coldly at the youngest and most powerful slave owner in Qiyan City, without speaking for a long time.

After a while, he raised his head with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said to me in a trembling voice: "You kidnapped Angus and me, did you just want to take us around in this swampy rainforest? !”

Seeing that he was in such a bad situation and was actually talking in a roundabout way, I waved to Luka and motioned for him to continue walking forward.

Seeing that I was about to cross Luka and go to the front of the team, Jutas finally couldn't help it and asked me loudly: "What do I need to do so that you can let me go?"

I looked at him and smiled coldly at him, still keeping silent.

Seeing that I didn't want to pay attention to him, he finally said in an almost pleading voice: "Wait a minute, Angus needs treatment. If his wounds are not treated, he may die. How can we save Angus?" "

At this time, everyone in our team stopped and turned around to look at Jutas. I asked Jutas calmly, "Then tell me, how can we find your men?"

There was a trace of hesitation in Jutas's eyes, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said forcefully:

"I don't know, and no one can know. No matter how many people a team has, once they walk into this swamp, they will never be found unless they come out again."

I walked up to him again. His wounds had healed, but he had suffered a lot in the past three days and was a little depressed.

"What, you still don't want to say it?" I asked him: "If you say it now, you may still have a chance to survive... Otherwise, when I find them, you will no longer be needed. Maybe I will learn from the lizard people." The tribe’s ritual is to hang you brothers on a tree and dry them into dried bacon.”

A cruel smile appeared on Jutas's face, and he said to me forcefully:

"Try it, maybe you will be the one who becomes dried bacon."

The second negotiation between Jutas and I still ended hastily with Jutas' tough attitude. Jutas regarded the men lurking in the jungle swamps as the last trump card for him and Angus to survive. He would not I'm willing to say it easily, and I won't force it.

I plan to rendezvous with the orc war group of Kalantso first, and along the way, I will search for Nathaniel's hiding places provided by 'guide' Amy. Perhaps Mentor Heidi and Molayar are hiding in these hiding places. somewhere.

The tauren Luka carried a black iron spear on his shoulder and punched Jutas again, leaving him completely speechless.

…

'Guide' Amy's sense of direction got worse after we walked into the jungle swamp.

She had no foresight of danger.

Amy stood in a redwood forest. The water level in the forest was very low, and the wet mud was almost exposed in many places. Some lungfish were swinging back and forth in the mud puddles, breathing with their big mouths open. It looked like it hadn't rained here in a long time and the swamps were almost dry.

In my opinion, the climate in the rainforest is unique, and this forest is well ventilated, so the water evaporates quickly. If it doesn't rain for a few days, the mud here will dry up.

This mangrove forest is not very easy to walk. The Yero natives planned to take a detour to bypass this dead forest, but the "guide" Amy thought we should go straight through this forest.

Facts have proved that Amy made a wrong choice.

She stood in the forest with a pale face. The forest was full of bones of various beasts. I don't know how many beasts were buried in this forest.

This proves that there is some kind of ferocious beast lurking in the forest. Amy wants to go back the same way.

Just when we were hesitating whether to continue to move forward or go back the same way, a large group of flower-legged blood mosquitoes suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest.

This flower-legged blood mosquito, which is larger than a horsefly, is fierce and gregarious. Our team encountered an attack by this flower-legged poisonous mosquito in a rubber forest. A large group of flower-legged blood mosquitoes, hundreds of thousands in number, rushed out of the forest, covering the sky and the sun. From a distance, these poisonous mosquitoes looked like dark clouds falling from the sky.

Without the high-level magic beasts we guessed, the magic materials and magic crystals on the magic beasts would all be gone. Looking at these flower-legged blood mosquitoes, Ying Li was the first to lose his temper and blasted a series of fireballs at the blood mosquito group.

I saw these flower-legged blood mosquitoes being burned by fireballs in groups, but the blood mosquitoes behind them instantly filled the space in front.

We didn't have time to leave the forest at all, and were surrounded by these flower-legged blood mosquitoes.

All members of the team quickly gathered together. The Minotaur tried to use his "Ancient Oath" shield to drive away these flower-legged blood mosquitoes. Unfortunately, these flower-legged blood mosquitoes were not afraid of death at all. They rushed towards Luka frantically. The Minotaur was clumsy and could not stop them at all. Many blood mosquitoes fell on the Minotaur Luka and were slapped to death by the Minotaur, but more blood mosquitoes were too late to drive away. They frantically sucked blood from the Minotaur's body.

The other members of the team were besieged by the flower-legged blood mosquitoes.

However, everyone stayed together. The blood mosquitoes rushed up, and almost all of them were burned to ashes by Ying Li's "Flame Shock" and Annie's "Fire Sword". They barely survived for the time being, but the Minotaur Luka was tall and couldn't squeeze together with us, so he suffered a little.

Senior sister Erica chanted a complicated spell, and then a trace of cool ice rain fell from the sky, which drove away the blood mosquitoes. We hurriedly retreated from this forest.

…

——We thought the environment in the rain forest was tough enough, but when we entered the swamp, we discovered how comfortable the rain forest outside Qiyan City was.
