my age of magic

Chapter 1607 156. Marching towards the Rainforest Swamp
Sunlight penetrates from the gauze on the top of the marching tent into the tent, forming stripes of light spots on the canvas.

There is a lot of water vapor transpiring in the forest. Although this imperial noble-style marching tent is designed with good ventilation, the inside of the tent is stuffy and hot in this environment in the tropical rainforest.

The work of setting up a tent in the wild is relatively cumbersome, and there are safety factors to consider, so Yingli, Helena, Becky and I huddled together in a marching tent to rest, and I was disturbed by the voices of girls Amy and Justus Wake up, but Helena, Becky, and Yingli beside her are still fast asleep.

It was very stuffy in the tent, the girls were wearing thin suspender nightdresses, Helena's white ivory-like arms were resting on my chest, her beautiful face had a pure smile in her sleep, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead Sweaty, the white silk nightdress was pulled up to the waist, and the white legs that were too dazzling on the moisture-proof blanket looked extraordinarily slender.

I gently moved her arm aside, fearing that I would wake them up, I just put the leather armor skirt of 'Earth Fury' on my body, and held the rest of the leather armor in my arms, and walked on tiptoe Going to the side of the tent, opened the curtain of the tent and got out.

Katerina followed me and got out of the tent.

It happened to be at noon, the sun was shining directly from the gaps in the treetops, the body was wrapped in damp heat, the sweat seemed to be stuffed inside the body, and the heat waves swept over, making people feel that this At this time, you can only have a glass of cold juice and pour it into your stomach in one gulp, it will be extremely refreshing.

The hot weather quickly evaporates the water vapor in the forest, but the humidity in the forest is too high, the moss on many tree trunks is covered with wet small water droplets, and some fungi even grow in the gaps in the rough bark, thick The damp and rotten smell filled the forest.

A small snake covered with golden rings slid across the flower tree above my head silently, and I could clearly feel the mana fluctuations of the water system on its skin.

I didn't expect that we would meet such a small reptile monster just after we walked out of Qiyan City. Although the danger factor of this poisonous snake is very small, this place is still on the outskirts of Qiyan City after all. In fact, we haven't gone too far.

Justus squatted under the tree, staring at the girl named Amy in a stalemate.

Although the young girl did not have any advantage in terms of body, she was so stubborn that she would not give in at all. At this time, the trouser legs and cuffs of the linen clothes she was wearing were tightly tied with slender vines, and there was a dog around her waist. A simple hatchet and a small bamboo tube.

However, she has a thin figure and flat chest. If she didn't have a handsome face and long hair, she might be mistaken for a brave young man.

"Please take me with you. I am familiar with this forest. My brother once took me to the wild swamp of the lizard tribe. I know how to avoid those hidden dangers." The girl Amy said to Justus.

But Justus kept a cold face, as if he didn't want to give the girl Amy any good looks, and bluffed at the girl: "Get out of here quickly."

At this time, just as I got out of the tent, the young girl Amy ran up to me. Justus caught up with her from behind, reached out and grabbed her thin wrist, and dragged her to the outside of the camp. The young girl Amy The stubborn eyes stared at me, staring at me for a moment, as if I was the heartbreaker who tricked her into going to bed and then resolutely abandoned her.

With this look in my eyes, I waved my hand at Justus, motioning for Justus to stop.

Justus said nothing more, left the girl behind, turned and walked into the dense forest.

He is also responsible for security around the camp.

"You can't find your way back to Qiyan City?" I approached her and asked her with a serious expression.

"No." The girl replied with a guilty conscience.

"Then why come back?" I pinched her pointed chin, raised her head, and asked into her eyes.

"You are short of a guide, and I can help you." The girl said to me quickly, breathing a little anxiously.

After washing off the charcoal dust on her face, she revealed a delicate little face. Although there were a few freckles scattered on her cheekbones, it didn't make her any more ugly.

I was sitting on a tree root across from her, and Katerina came over with a scone and a broth, and I took a bite of the scone and said, "I think you must have made a mistake Yes, we are indeed short of an experienced guide, but we are not short of novice guides, that kind of guide is everywhere in Qiyan City, go back, I will bring your brother back safely... If he is still alive .”

The girl Amy hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Master Magician, but you have no experience in living in the jungle, I know you need my help, you need to find a source of drinkable water in this rainforest full of poisonous swamps... ..."

She puffed out her chest, making herself appear more confident.

I turned my head and smiled at Katerina beside me, and stretched out my hand. A ball of water in my hand continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the ball of water became the size of a fist, the water ball instantly turned into a water line. , and kept flipping over my palm. A few seconds later, the water jet shot out and hit the tree trunk beside it. The moment the water arrow touched the tree trunk, the water splashed everywhere.

I said, "You may not know, but I am a water magician."

The girl Amy's eyes were attracted by the water arrow, and she didn't come back to her senses until the water arrow dissipated.

Her eyes widened, with a trace of envy in them.

The girl Amy said stubbornly: "I also learned from my brother how to identify poisonous weeds and avoid poisonous insects. I know where to find dragon tooth grass..."

I waved my hand, interrupted Amy's words unceremoniously, and said to Amy with a smile:

"Dragon tooth grass? I know that low-level magic grass has a pungent smell, which can drive away most poisonous insects, but do you think that after we enter the territory of the lizard people, we will be covered with the juice of dragon tooth grass? The lizard warriors can't find us?"

For this magical herb that grows in the tropical rainforest, the description in the magic books of the Grimm Empire and the ancient scrolls of the orcs have two completely different definitions:

The magic herb classics of the Green Empire praised this primary magic herb, saying that it is a kind of universal detoxification herb. Even if the juice of the dragon tooth grass is squeezed out the roughest, drinking it directly can relieve most of the heat poisoning. Using it The prepared antidote has a wide range of uses.

However, in the ancient scrolls of the orcs, there is a special article explaining this primary magic herb. The great shamans of the ancient orc ancestors thought that dragon tooth grass was useless.

It is the most useless herb among all magic herbs, because this kind of magic herb can only cure those primary heat poisoning diseases. For orcs, they have a tyrannical physique, and those many heat poisoning diseases have no effect on orcs at all. effect.

My views on Dragon Tooth Grass have always been based on the knowledge instilled in me by the old Kuru. Although I have learned related knowledge in the School of War Magic, my subjective consciousness has been formed, so it is difficult to be objective Behold this magic herb.

The girl Amy retorted with some stubbornness: "At least... at least it is a very effective detoxifying herb. Many guides in Strange Rock City will carry this detoxifying medicine with them, and...and no one will go to the rainforest swamp now. .”

I stood up, waved to her, and led her to the shed beside the camp. Sister Erica didn't take a nap.

She was just a bystander last night, and now she doesn't feel sleepy, and her spirits are quite sufficient. She felt that before entering the rainforest, she should prepare some commonly used antidotes, so she built a simple pergola in the camp, and took the medicine she carried with her. The bottles and cans were taken out, and four colors of dark green and dark green magic potions have been prepared. I don’t know why, looking at the bubbling green medicine juice in the beaker, my stomach will not stop. Shrink, some overreaction.

I stood by the arbor and said to the young girl Amy: "See, this Erika magician is a professional magic pharmacist who is good at preparing various antidotes. I don't think we will worry about the poisonous insects in the swamp. So what do you think you can do to help us? If not, please go back to Qiyan City."

I glanced at the direction of Qiyan City and said to her, "If we leave now, we should be able to return to the city before dark."

The girl Amy's face turned red, she raised her head excitedly, and said loudly to me:

"Ah! Then I...I...I also know Nathaniel's hiding places in the rainforest. Every guide will find a few hiding places in this rainforest. If there is an accident and there is no way to go home , would hide in those hiding places and wait for the danger to pass, yes, Nathaniel took me to his hiding places."

Hearing what she said, I pursed my lips and swallowed back the words I was going to drive her away.

Although we captured the Angus Uttas brothers, I was not sure about finding Moraya and Heidi. Mentor, she said she knew where Nathaniel was hiding, which obviously moved me, so I explain:
"Okay! You can stay, but you'd better not play any tricks. Once we find that you are any danger to us, or a burden to us, then I will leave you without hesitation."

Senior sister Erica heard me talking to Amy in the arbor, stopped what she was doing, raised her head and smiled faintly at Amy, brushing the broken hair by her ear, and said:

"Don't scare her anymore, come here quickly, your name is Amy, right! Amy, have you processed magic herbs? Can you help me grind these licorice into powder?"

The clever Amy knew that Senior Erica would help her again, and ran over like a nimble deer, stood beside the grinder skillfully, and said to Senior Erica:
"I can do it, Mister Magician. I used to work as a handyman in the Miyue potion store for a while, but that potion store closed down half a year ago, and the magic herbs produced here were sold at high prices by the big lords." After the acquisition, almost all potions shops in the city could not continue to operate because of this, and many herbal apprentices lost their jobs just like me."

As she spoke, she skillfully put a stalk of hay into the grinder, and easily shook the handle. The dry powder overflowed a little bit, and was carefully collected by Amy in the glass bottle.

Erika-senpai just wants us to stop arguing, since I promised to keep Amy, someone has to take her.

It's just that Erika-senpai probably didn't expect Amy to be her good helper...

She looked at Amy, who had quickly entered the role, in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.

……

Avoiding the vicious sun at noon, we packed up the camp and set off after the summer heat dissipated a little.

Before setting off, I transferred three Hierro natives from the giant spider hatching room in Xinwillow Valley. They have rich jungle survival experience, and I need someone to open the way in front of the team. Except for me, Justus and Except Ruka it was all women.

Tauren Luka will be at the back of the team, and Justus will be responsible for ensuring the safety of the entire team.

Whether it is Yingli, Helena and Becky, or sisters Anne and Sue, senior sister Erica, they are not suitable to be in front of the team, brandishing a hatchet and acting as a trailblazer. At this time, the advantage of the Yero natives is Stand out, they have a lot of bush life experience.

As for me, Justus, and Luka the tauren, I have no painful experience in this regard at all. Back in the Black Forest, there was an ancient war tree that took care of me. When I was marching in the forest, I never experienced such a dense variety of plants. Huddled together, countless weeds and vines completely blocked our way forward, and three Hierro natives struggled to open a passage in the rainforest.

Our team circled more than half a circle around the outskirts of Qiyan City, but we didn't see even a knight from the guard battalion chasing out of the city.

Finally, before dusk, Katerina found the orc language mark left by Kalantso on a big banyan tree in the forest, and we followed the mark left by Kalantso all the way. It can be seen from the marks that the orc warriors probably found some clues.

Amy told me that the team is currently heading towards the rainforest swamp, walking along this road, and after about seven or eight days, they will enter the territory of the lizard tribe.

When we cross the rainforest, we don’t always need to trek on foot, and occasionally we can ride a magic scorpion for a short flight. There are three magicians in our team.

Although horses cannot travel through this rainforest, the more flexible and convenient magic handle can. Although this consumes some mana, it can save the ladies' physical strength. The people are similar, so trekking in the rainforest will be very hard, and taking a short flight on the magic handle can restore their physical strength to a large extent.

In fact, Kalancuo and her orc warriors walked very fast in the rainforest, and our team has been chasing the marks left by Kalanco.

Our team walked for three days in a hurry, but I have a feeling that the distance between us and Kalantso's team is getting farther and farther...

And this short three days of jungle life deprived us of all the good feelings about this jungle...
