My Magic Age

A warm breeze blew through the striped blue grass, and the dew on the grass leaves rolled down and hit the top of a swamp poison frog with black and green stripes.

Taking this opportunity, a gray-haired otter lurking in the striped blue grass quickly jumped out, trying to escape under the duckweed in the swamp pool, but unexpectedly, the swamp poison frog was not affected by the falling water drops at all. The big round eyes in the transparent eyelids quickly caught the gray-haired otter who wanted to break through. It opened its mouth wide, and its tongue, like a strong rubber band, stretched out like lightning and shot at the gray-haired otter one meter away.

The otter weighed at least eight or nine pounds, and was easily tied up by the tongue of the swamp poison frog. An invisible force pulled it quickly into the mouth of the swamp poison frog. The big mouth of the swamp poison frog looked like a deep black well, and the gray-haired otter was drawn into it in an instant.

With a sound of "plop".

The swamp poison jumped into the pool, leaving a shallow water line in the quiet pool.

Looking across the swamp, thousands of lizard warriors were lurking in the palm forest in front. The agile figures shuttled freely in the dense forest, not affected by the night at all. This was mainly because the lizard warriors had night vision.

Kalancuo, Justus, Katarina, I lay in a pond in the swamp about 300 meters away from the group of lizard warriors, secretly observing the movements of the group of lizard warriors from a distance.

During the day, Deborah was reconnaissance in the air and accidentally discovered this group of lizard warriors lurking in the woods, so we would sneak up on this lizard war group at night to see where their target was. I think this group of lizards seemed to be sneaking towards the Guzaher tribe.

A water snake as thick as a finger swam past me. Katarina pulled out a dagger and gently wiped it in the water. The tip of the dagger cut the fragile abdomen of the water snake. The water snake rolled violently in the pond and quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

I turned my head to look at Katarina. Her eyes were dark red in the night.

A five-man lizard patrol team came from the dense forest to the swamp pond. We took a deep breath and sank silently to the bottom of the water. Just under the duckweed in the pond, we quietly moved away from the lizard team.

The swamp poison frog that had just swallowed the gray-haired otter on the shore had its head pierced by a bone spur. Its skull was cut open by a sharp weapon, and the magic core inside had been taken out by Justus. Only the body covered with toxins was left lying at the bottom of the pond.

We swam past the poison frog quickly and came to the other side of the swamp pond, and then we climbed out of the pool wet all over.

"Those lizard warriors were not looking for us. They should just happen to pass by..." Justus said to me while squatting on the shore after shaking his wet hair after climbing ashore.

I climbed out of the pond using my hands and feet, ignoring my wet leather armor, and asked him, "Where do you think they want to go when they are out at night and hiding during the day?"

Justus chuckled and said, "If they go in this direction, there is only one possibility... the Guzaher tribe."

I took off my boots and poured out the water inside, otherwise I would have to walk in boots filled with water.

I told Kalancuo, "Let Deborah inform Inzaghi of the Guzaher tribe. After all, he is very good to us. I don't want to wait until we come back and find that there is another lizard tribe stationed at the Elamokus Pass. Maybe the Nalizard tribe will not be so friendly to us."

Kalancuo agreed very straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll go wake up Deborah now."

Our camp is nearly five kilometers away from the forest area where the lizards are hiding. If Deborah hadn't accidentally discovered the lizard warriors sleeping in the tree canopy during the day, I'm afraid we would have passed them by.

Not long after returning to the camp, Deborah took a letter written by Nathaniel in the lizard language and flew to the Guzaher tribe under the cover of night.

However, I doubt whether the lizard noble Inzaghi can understand the letter written by Nathaniel, because the lizard language on it is too sloppy.

I hope that the lizards of the Guzaher tribe can defeat those enemies...

...

After leaving Mount Elamokus, we have already entered the hinterland of the northern part of the Savage Swamp. Nathaniel told us that this is the approximate location of the ancient ruins. The situation was urgent at the time, and it has been so long that we did not remember the specific location, so we still need to search slowly.

In this vast rainforest, lizards coexist with many intermediate monsters, and these lizard tribes are only a few very limited areas in the entire swamp.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the lizard tribes, we quietly bypassed the territories of these lizard tribes and searched for the ancient ruins in this rainforest full of swamps.

We were worried that Deborah might attract a group of flying dragons deep in the rainforest when she was reconnaissance in the sky, so we would strictly limit the time Deborah spent in the air every time she was reconnaissance. Although we did not attract a group of flying dragons, we encountered a dragon fly nest in a forest of parasol trees.

Dragon flies are a kind of flying monster unique to the wild swamp. They like to live in groups on tall trees. Those parasol trees that are as high as 100 meters are their favorite habitats. Adult dragon flies are generally strong enough to defeat the third-level mid-stage monsters. This flying monster has up to three pairs of transparent wings. It is about the size of a large owl and flies extremely fast, coming and going like the wind.

The tail of the dragonfly can emit sharp stings, which carry strong toxins. If there is no antidote for the symptoms, even the strong constitution of the second-level strongman cannot withstand the sting of the dragonfly. This sting is one of the favorite poison arrows of the lizard warriors.

Deborah rashly broke into a forest of sky-watching trees and provoked a group of dragonflies. Fortunately, she was smart at the time and activated the magic pattern on her body decisively when she felt that something was wrong. Only then did she barely escape from the pursuit of the group of dragonflies. When she fled back to the temporary camp, she was also scared and her face turned pale.

Those dragonflies flew at an extremely fast speed. Catalina and Kalancuo could not stop them even if they intercepted them together.

The magic materials on the third-level magic beasts such as dragonflies are all worth a fortune in the imperial capital. Transparent wings are the main materials for wind magicians to make magic carpets. The compound eyes of dragonflies can be used to make sentinels for alchemists. The tail sting is one of the poison arrows that many demon hunters like to carry with them.

There was no progress in searching for the ancient ruins, but since we had seen the dragonfly nest, we could not let it go.

For this reason, I returned to the imperial capital and went to the magic shop to buy twenty sticky webs woven with magic spider silk. Katarina carried them and sneaked into the forest where the dragonflies lived. We laid out layers of sticky webs in the forest. After all this was ready, Deborah flew into the forest to lure out the nest of dragonflies.

The sticky webs woven with magic spider silk were the most restraining for this group of dragonflies known for their speed. The three dragonflies in the front rushed into the magic spider silk sticky webs and were shot through the body by the barbarian slaves hiding under the tree with giant crossbows. They almost did not show the horror of the third-level magic beasts at all, and they turned into corpses one after another. The remaining four dragonflies saw that the situation was not good and flew into the sky. After escaping from the forest, they decisively fled.

The dragonfly nest was filled with various monster skeletons. There were magic cores of various sizes in the white skeletons. It can be seen that the dragonflies have a wide range of diets. There are very few monsters in the swamp that they dare not eat.

I took out Moraya's magic image crystal. I have watched the image in the magic crystal countless times:

'The ancient ruins are hidden in the dense forest. Suddenly, a large group of flying dragons flew out of the ruins. The adventure group that Moraya was in fled decisively...'

Nathaniel stood on the top of the tree and carefully identified the surrounding forest areas. This was what the guide Nathaniel did most in the past half month.

Despite this, the search work was still clueless. There was no trace of the mysterious ancient ruins.

We searched one forest area after another. This was the bad thing about the wild swamp. Many forest areas and swamps looked similar, and there were very few giant trees that could be used as references.

Although the ancient ruins were not found, the beasts living in the wild swamp were plowed hard. No matter whether they were valuable or not, as long as the barbarian slaves thought they could eat them, they would start hunting.

When they were in the Yello plane, these barbarian slaves did not dare to confront the fourth-level beasts head-on. Since they had the Nakma people's magic pattern structure armor, they actually showed a fearless attitude in the wild swamp. They even hunted nearly two thousand white rock rhinos in a large canyon in the rainforest.

These adult white rock rhinos are already third-level beasts, but they were driven into a canyon by the barbarian slaves with heavy crossbows. The barbarian slaves guarded the entrance of the canyon and used giant crossbows to force back dozens of charges of the white rock rhinos. Then it took two days to hunt all the white rock rhinos.

White rock rhino skin is a very precious high-grade leather, especially suitable for making magic pattern structures for hard leather armor. This kind of magic leather is very popular in the imperial capital.

Except for the fact that there is still no clue of the ancient ruins, this trip to the Savage Swamp yielded a lot of gains.

Although we tried to avoid the lizard tribes in the jungle, this is the living area of ​​the lizard tribe, and sometimes it is inevitable to avoid them. However, when the lizards saw that there were many warriors on our side, they followed us for a distance from a distance. Seeing that we had no intention of attacking their tribe, they let us run around in the rainforest.

Just when we found nothing in the Savage Rainforest, the lizard noble Inzaghi of the Guzaher tribe actually found me in the jungle.

He came here only for one thing this time, which was to express his gratitude to us on behalf of the great elder of the Guzaher tribe.

Although the Guzaher tribe may not be defeated without our tip-off, the situation may become more passive, and perhaps the victory will be won at a greater cost. Now the civil war among the swamp tribe has not stopped, and the war has also affected the lizard tribes between Mount Elamokus and Mount Piatila. Since the Guzaher tribe has not yet publicly supported a prince of the lizard royal family, the Calicut tribe will force the Guzaher tribe to express its attitude this time.

So this time the lizard nobles brought a team of land giant lizards to find us. Those slow-moving land giant lizards, driven by the lizard trainers, are not much slower than Gubolai horses in the swamp.

It's just that we haven't mastered the control method of land giant lizards before, so they walk as slowly as turtles.

The lizard noble Inzaghi sat on the protruding tree roots, unable to hide his curiosity. He asked me with a very sincere face: "What are you looking for in the wild swamp?"

After all, the lizard tribe is the real controller of this wild swamp.

Nathaniel was a bit incompetent as a translator. He finally understood what Inzaghi said by guessing and gesturing.

Then Inzaghi said, "Maybe I can help you."

Even if Nathaniel didn't translate this sentence, I could roughly guess what he meant by the expression on the face of the lizard noble Inzaghi's face.

"We are looking for an ancient ruin near here." I hesitated for a moment and then told him the purpose of our trip.

The lizard noble opened his mouth wide and asked me, "Are you looking for ruins?"

Sure enough, the lizards knew the specific location of the ancient ruins. I hurriedly said, "The ancient ruins should be a ruin. Do you know that place?"

"Of course, that is the most famous dragon hunting place here. Every lizard warrior who wants to be promoted to a dragon hunter must go there to capture an adult flying dragon as a mount. Only in this way can he be recognized by all lizards." The lizard noble Inzaghi explained to me with gestures, and his expression was very serious.

I guessed that the lizard noble Inzaghi might provide me with some clues, but I didn't expect that he actually knew that place.

"Ah, is that your dragon hunting place?" I asked him.

Inzaghi nodded, smiled bitterly, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "There is a large group of flying dragons living there. In fact, since the number of flying dragons increased to 35, our tribe has not seen dragon hunters for many years. They always appear in groups."

"Can you take us there?" I asked the lizardman Inzaghi

"Of course, if you want to go." The lizardman noble agreed very readily, and then said to me: "But if you want to hunt dragons, can you leave a few behind, at least let them continue to reproduce here..."

"If you can... I would rather that group of flying dragons don't come to provoke me." I patted the shoulder of the lizardman noble Inzaghi and said to him.

Since the lizardman noble agreed to my request, I didn't waste any more time. Even though the barbarian slaves were catching an adult two-headed water snake lizard in the swamp not far away, I forcibly summoned them back. I couldn't wait a moment and wanted to get to the dragon hunting place mentioned by the lizardman as soon as possible...
