Path of light

Chapter 248 249.Poisoning

On the edge of the Blackwater Swamp, the adventure group hunted three dire wolves in the jungle ahead.

The members of the adventure group dragged the three dire wolves to a puddle. Here, instructor Eleanor skinned the three dire wolves, cut off the wolf heads and put them in boxes. These Warcraft materials only need to be brought back to Castleton. City, you can exchange for a magic crystal.

Roy dug through the thick black mud, which seemed to be full of grease and was so black that it reflected light in the sun.

He and the instructors buried the bones of three dire wolves under the tree. This trip to the Blackwater Swamp gave the adventure group many unexpected gains, and every member seemed happy.

Only Guide Margery stared around nervously. He seemed very cautious along the way.

I don’t know how many times I have to tell the members of the adventure group not to step into the Blackwater Swamp.

He took the trouble to say it, and everyone was a little impatient.

The instructors were a little confused as to why Margery was so scared even though it was a good hunting place.

Following the guidance of guide Margery, we walked almost all the way in the jungle on the edge of the swamp.

There were fewer weeds in the forest, and it could also block the scorching sun above our heads, so everyone followed the path pointed by Majeri's guide and headed north.

…

In the evening, everyone sat around the bonfire.

Instructor Vergil stroked a wind fox fur with both hands and said proudly to Sabrina:

"Gloves made of wind fox fur are not only the first choice for archers, but also suitable for swordsmen. Now we have hunted enough wind foxes to make a pair of gloves for everyone."

Sabrina smiled sweetly, but her eyes fell on Roy's thick leather gloves...

She dealt with instructor Virgil a little absentmindedly.

Instructor Vergil is very handsome and very popular with female elf students in the academy. He is always polite and has outstanding swordsmanship.

Apart from always having different female companions around me, there really is nothing to fault in other aspects.

…

As the sun sets, outside the pine forest is a lake formed by a wetland. The shore is covered with reeds, and occasionally some wild ducks can be seen swimming in the water.

This is the first time everyone has seen a living creature in the Blackwater Swamp.

The members of the adventure group relaxed suddenly, and everyone felt that the black water swamp in front of them was not as scary as the guide Margery said.

The iron pot hanging on the shelf kept making a gurgling sound.

Miss Christine squatted aside, added some lemons to the pot, a few spoons of honey and a little salt, and cooked a pot of fragrant lemon tea.

She had never done this kind of thing at home before. As a pampered aristocratic lady, she talked about poetry and music every day, and occasionally showed off her archery talent at the shooting range.

Now Miss Christine has learned a lot of wilderness survival skills.

Every day life is full of challenges and extremely novel for her...

Thinking of what her father said to her when she came out of the house, Miss Christine showed a faint smile on her face.

She scooped out the brewed lemon tea from the iron pot and distributed it to everyone.

…

Instructor Nora picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then suddenly turned his head and looked towards the swamp.

Everyone also looked in the direction of the swamp. Unexpectedly, the campfire attracted a dire wolf, which was lying on the edge of the forest.

Under the cover of night, the dire wolf's eyes shone with a dark green light, and from time to time it would growl at everyone.

Instructor Eleanor stood up suddenly, arranged her leather armor and weapons, and said to everyone: "I'm going to drive that dire wolf away!" and then rushed towards the dire wolf.

Recently, the instructors have hunted several dire wolves in succession. Instructor Eleanor has become familiar with the attack patterns of dire wolves, and she dares to face an adult dire wolf alone.

Instructor Gru was a little worried, so he followed Instructor Eleanor to touch the dire wolf spying on the campfire at the edge of the forest.

I probably saw two instructors running out of the camp...

The dire wolf turned and ran into the jungle.

In front of him was a square boundary monument in the private territory of Lord Alves. Instructor Eleanor came to the boundary monument and stepped on it with one foot. She watched the dire wolf slip into the forest opposite. She turned around and smiled at Gru. The instructor said:

"Our prey ran into the territory of Lord Alves. Now we go in and drive it out. We shouldn't violate the rules set by the Lord."

"I think not!" Instructor Gru agreed.

Then the two stepped on the boundary marker and walked side by side into the dark jungle in front of them.

Instructor Eleanor was a ranger with superb jungle tracking skills. It was precisely because of her confidence that she dared to chase a dire wolf into a dark jungle at night.

It's just that this time, instructor Eleanor walked a long way into the forest and couldn't find the dire wolf.

The whole jungle also felt indescribably weird, and there was no sound at all.

Normally when night comes, many little forest beasts that are nocturnal and nocturnal will run out of their caves, and there will be a rustling sound in the forest. Occasionally, there are carnivores hunting the little forest beasts, but now , this forest was actually dead silent.

Instructor Eleanor had a bad premonition. She stopped and planned to exit the jungle at the same time as Instructor Gru.

At this moment, the scream of a dire wolf suddenly came from deep in the jungle. The sound stopped almost as soon as it started.

Instructor Eleanor made a gesture to ask Instructor Gro to stay behind, and she hid in the shadows and slowly disappeared.

Afterwards, instructor Eleanor, who had hidden her body, moved towards the dense forest ahead...

This woodland is a bit humid, and water can seep out from the moldy leaf soil under your feet.

In the dark woodland, although instructor Eleanor could not be seen, the line of footprints was clearly revealed.

Instructor Gru was hiding behind, not daring to get too close. He did not have the ability to hide his whereabouts like Instructor Eleanor.

Instructor Eleanor walked forward a few dozen meters and found that the forest clearing in front was filled with the smell of blood. When he got closer, he found that there was a pool of blood on the ground. The dire wolf had long been There was no trace, and the blood trail stopped abruptly here.

In addition to the smell of blood, there is also a faint mist floating in the air. That mist...

Instructor Eleanor took a step forward and finally reacted. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and ran back with almost all her strength. She didn't even see the huge black head hidden above her head, so close at hand. Just turned around and left.

She pulled Instructor Gru and ran outside the jungle. Without waiting for Instructor Gru to ask, she said quickly:

"Don't breathe, it's poisonous."

She ran forward for dozens of more steps, but her body seemed to gradually escape her control. Her hands and feet did not obey her orders, and then she stumbled and fell on the grass in the forest.

Instructor Gru was shocked. He never expected that Instructor Eleanor would lie down like this.

Instructor Gru stopped and found that Instructor Eleanor had fallen into a coma, so he did not dare to breathe even more. He bent down and picked up Instructor Eleanor, put her on his shoulders, and ran towards the outside of the forest.

The moment he turned his head, from the corner of his eye, Instructor Gru saw a giant black python appearing behind him, and it actually followed him.

Seeing Instructor Gru looking back, he immediately raised his head...

It is really too tall, with its bucket-thick body standing upright, much taller than an adult.

"Hiss, hiss..."

A pair of dark green eyes exudes a cold light...

It swings its body back and forth against the ground and moves forward quickly.

There was a very obvious raised bump on its abdomen. I was afraid that the dire wolf was already lying in the belly of this giant python.

…

Miss Christine sat by the campfire and put a new string on her battle bow.

Instructor Virgil came over and the two chatted happily.

Sabrina took the opportunity to get closer to Roy...

At this moment, Roy was sitting next to Guide Margery and asked him for advice:

"Guide Margery, please tell us about the most powerful monsters in the Blackwater Swamp."

Guide Margery said immediately:

"In the Blackwater Swamp, the most terrifying existence should be the Blackwater Killer Bee. As long as ordinary elves are stung by these killer bees, their lives will be in danger. This kind of killer bees are gregarious monsters. They share a huge hive and usually It was built in a dry crypt in a swamp.

This kind of hive is very special. It is not only waterproof, but also very strong. The underground cave is connected in all directions and is divided into delivery rooms, incubation rooms, rest areas, granaries, etc.

There was once an adventure group of more than fifty adventurers who entered the Blackwater Swamp to hunt for killer bees. They found a killer bee nest. In the end, only four elves escaped from the cave.

In addition, there is a very unique towering tree deep in the swamp. This kind of tree can grow to almost seventy or eighty meters in height. The bare trunk has almost no branches, and only some leaves grow on the top of the tree. This kind of towering tree has There lives a kind of monster called dragon fly. Their heads are blood red, and their transparent wings are sharper than ordinary swords. Almost all elves bitten by dragon flies cannot escape the fate of having their blood sucked out of their bodies, but as long as they If you don't set foot in the depths of the swamp, you won't encounter those dragon flies.

There is also a kind of monster called the poisonous horned black anaconda. Not only do their teeth contain highly toxic substances, but they can also spit out poisonous mist. A poisonous horned black anaconda may be dozens of meters long. They often hunt griffins and terrors on the edge of the blackwater swamp. Monsters like wolves..."

Before Guide Margery finished his introduction, he heard rapid footsteps in the distance.

Instructor Gru's voice came from over there:

"...Come and help!"

Roy stood up quickly.

He saw him running back with Instructor Eleanor on his back, and everyone gathered around him. Instructor Gru placed the unconscious Instructor Eleanor on the grass. By the light of the bonfire, Roy saw Instructor Eleanor's face. His face turned black, and he was obviously poisoned.
