my age of magic

Chapter 1608 157. The Swamp in the Rainforest
We spent three days walking through nearly [-] kilometers of tropical rainforest.

Finally, at dusk on the third day, we stepped into the swamp area. In the rainforest, there are dense mangroves and large banyan trees with closely connected roots. The swamp runs through it. Under the many withered leaves are some giant elephants that can swallow the whole giant. Bottomless quagmire, in this swamp forest, if you accidentally step on it, your whole leg will sink completely.

In the quagmire full of stench, there are poisonous scorpions with giant claws lurking, and the black tail needles are highly poisonous. Even a tauren with a strong physique like Luka, his whole leg is swollen like an elephant's leg. If it weren't for Ai Senior sister Rika prepared the antidote in advance. I am afraid that Rika will be forced to return to Xinliu Valley due to his temporary mobility.

'Walking on water'

between woodlands
this swampy area
This magic undoubtedly helped me solve the biggest problem that the environment brought us. Every member of the team has blessed the magic effect of 'walking on water'.

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

This general-purpose magic inherited from the orc tribe made the guide in the team - Miss Amy feel very amazing.

Facts have proved that this young guide, Miss Amy, has far less experience in jungle survival than she said.

She didn't even know that swamps usually lurk with swamp crocodiles and forest boas. The tail gallops in the swamp, catching up with the prey almost crazily, and dragging the prey into the quagmire forcibly. These prey are often suffocated to death when the swamp giant crocodile fights, and of course some are directly bitten to death by the swamp giant crocodile.

Amy squatted under the tree, staring wide-eyed at an eight-meter-long giant swamp crocodile hanging on the big banyan tree opposite. Its head was completely pierced by a black iron spear, and it was firmly nailed to the trunk of the big banyan tree. On the ground, the huge tail hung down into the muddy water, and it was still twitching non-stop, and the blood continued to flow down the banyan tree, staining the muddy water under the banyan tree into a maroon purple.

Holding a small skinning knife, Justus skillfully began to skin the head of the giant swamp crocodile, just like taking off a layer of coat from the giant swamp crocodile. After peeling off the layer of mottled and cracked crocodile skin, So bloody and bundled, Justus dropped the leather at my feet with some disgust.

I put this uncooked crocodile skin into a magic sealing box. This is the No. 12 crocodile skin I hunted today.

The woodland was in a mess, with broken branches everywhere, and a huge pit appeared in the middle of the muddy water in the swamp, as if the pond had been blown over by a fire scale bomb.

The battle was not fierce, mainly because the giant crocodile could not be killed directly. When it was dying, it turned the swamp upside down. In the end, the tauren Luka pierced the giant crocodile's skull with a black iron spear. To kill it completely.

In the stinky environment, everyone is really not in the mood to eat grilled crocodile meat. After prying open the crocodile's skull and taking out the magic core hidden in the skull, we abandoned this skinned swamp giant crocodile in the woodland .

"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this? It's the first time I followed the adventure group to adventure in the jungle?" I closed the lid of the magic sealing box, sat down on the magic sealing box, and asked the girl Amy with a smile .

Amy shook her head vigorously, and said to me seriously: "I followed a well-known adventure group in Qiyan City to hunt in this jungle swamp, they dare not step into this swamp easily, they kill When the swamp giant crocodile was used, a skilled ranger would lure the crocodile to the land. This kind of big guy is very fierce in the swamp, but it is not so scary when it runs on land, but now... I I never knew that hunting a giant swamp crocodile could be so simple, 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 perform their duties, and everyone will cooperate perfectly with each other. Even without the help of magic, it is not considered to kill this swamp giant It's too hard." I explained to the girl Amy.

After a short rest, taking advantage of the evening, the temperature in the jungle dropped a little, and we set off again.

Although the marks left by the orcs were found continuously along the way, they didn't even touch their tails.

Across this long and narrow swamp in the shape of pea sprouts entrenched in the rainforest, as Amy said, there is a large banyan forest in front of it, with countless roots hanging from the crown and deeply embedded in the mud. If you want to pass through this banyan forest, you must cut off these tough roots and open up a passage in the forest.

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

Three Yero natives cut off the roots of the banyan tree hanging down in front of them one by one. Amy walked in the front and led us into the depths of this banyan forest. She climbed up a big banyan tree flexibly. I wanted to look back at our jokes, but I didn't expect that the three Yeluo natives would use the roots of these banyan trees to weave a soft ladder, and Yingli 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. On the top of this banyan tree is a very simple wooden house. I don't think it has any other function except for shelter from the rain. On the wall of the wooden house, there are two pieces of dried meat, a small bag of tree rice, a clay pot filled with water, and a thin wooden plank. Made beds.

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

Standing in front of the wooden house, the young girl Amy was a little depressed, staring blankly at the furnishings in the house. She stayed in the house for a while, then calmed down, walked out of the wooden house, and closed the bark door of the wooden house .

"They're not here!" Amy said in a low mood, lowering her head and whispering.

"Then go to the next place to look for it. You only found one place, and it's normal if you don't get anything." I walked over and patted Amy on the shoulder, encouraging her: "But having said that, Natha It's a nice place Neil found, and I have a feeling we're on the right track in general."

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

The tauren and Justus were waiting under the banyan tree. As for the siren descendant 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 hung Angus Uttas brothers on the black iron spear again, and picked the two of them on the shoulders very casually. Angus had white bone spurs stuck in every joint on his body, although most of the wounds had healed , but the places where the bone spurs touched had already begun to fester. Angus was often in a coma along the way, and only when Su cast a prayer of healing on him would he wake up for a short period of time.

If he needed to be treated, he needed to pull out the bone spurs, remove the rotten flesh from the wound, and then let Su cast the 'Prayer of Healing' to heal the wound.

"Wait a minute, what are you trying to do?" Uttas hoarsely shouted, hanging from the end of the black iron spear.

His tendons and hamstrings were broken by Katerina, and his body was trapped like a rice dumpling by the ropes. If these ropes were not untied, his hands and feet might be completely useless soon.

The tauren Luka slammed his fist hard on Uttas' stomach, immediately swallowing all his words. He was hanging on the black iron spear and was sweating coldly, but he couldn't say anything. make any sound.

I stopped and stared coldly at the youngest and most powerful slave owner in Qiyan City, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, he raised his head with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said to me in a trembling voice: "You hijacked me and Angus, don't you just want to take us around in this swampy rainforest? !"

Hearing his situation, he still turned around when he was speaking. I waved to Luka and signaled him to move on.

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

I looked at him like I did, and smiled coldly at him, but remained silent.

Seeing that I didn't want to talk to him, he finally said in an almost pleading voice: "Wait a minute, Angus needs treatment. If he doesn't treat his wound, he may die. How can we cure Angus? S?"

At this time, everyone in our team stopped and turned to look at Youtas. I calmly asked Youtas: "Then tell me, how can I find your subordinates?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Utasi'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 enters this swamp, unless they come out again, they won't be able to find them."

When I walked in front of him again, his wound had healed, but he had suffered a lot in the past three days, and his spirit was a little sluggish.

"Why, are you still unwilling 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 at that time, maybe I will follow the example of the lizard people." According to the tribal ritual, hang the two of you brothers on a tree and dry them into dried bacon."

There was a cruel grin on Uttas's face, and he said to me forcefully:
"Try it, maybe you will be the ones who turn into dried bacon."

The second negotiation between me and Youtas still ended hastily with Youtas' tough attitude. Youtas took those men lurking in the jungle swamp as the last trump card for him and Angus to survive. I'm willing to say it easily, and I don't force it.

I'm going to meet up with the orc group in Kalanzo first. Along the way, I'll search for Nathaniel's hiding place provided by the 'guide' Amy. Maybe Mentor Heidi and Morayal are hiding in these hiding places somewhere in the

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

……

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

She has no foreknowledge of danger.

Amy was standing 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 around in the mud pit, breathing with their mouths wide open. It looked like it hadn't rained in this place for a long time, and the swamp was almost dry.

In my opinion, the climate is unique in the rainforest. This woodland is well ventilated, so the water evaporates very quickly. If it does not rain for a few days, the mire here will dry up.

This mangrove forest is not very easy to walk. The natives of Yero intend to take a detour to avoid this dead forest, but the 'guide' Amy thinks that we should go straight through this forest.

As it turned out, Amy was wrong.

She stood in the forest with a pale face. The bones of all kinds of beasts were scattered all over the forest. It is unknown how many beasts were buried in this forest.

This proved that some kind of beast was lurking in the woods, and Amy wanted to go back the same way.

Just as we were hesitating to move forward or go back the same way, a large cloud of blood mosquitoes suddenly gushed out from the depths of the forest.

This bloody mosquito, which is bigger than a gadfly, has a fierce temperament. They belong to social creatures. Our team encountered this kind of poisonous mosquito in a rubber forest, and a large group of bloody mosquitoes There were hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes rushing out of the forest covering the sky and the sun. Looking from a distance, these poisonous mosquitoes looked like dark clouds falling from the sky.

Without the high-level monsters we guessed, the magic materials and magic crystals on the monsters would all be in vain. Looking at these flower-legged blood mosquitoes, Ying Li was the first to lose his composure, and blasted a series of bullets at the blood mosquito swarm. fireball.

I saw these flower-legged blood mosquitoes were scorched by the fireball in pieces, but the blood mosquitoes in the back instantly filled the space in front.

We didn't even have time to leave the woodland before we were surrounded by these bloody mosquitoes.

All the members of the team quickly gathered together, and the Tauren tried to use his 'Ancient Oath' shield to drive away the bloody mosquitoes, but unfortunately, these bloody mosquitoes were not afraid of death at all, and rushed towards Luka crazily, the Tauren clumsily Unable to stop it at all, many blood mosquitoes landed on the body of the tauren Luka, and were slapped to death by the tauren, but more blood mosquitoes were too late to drive away, and they frantically sucked the blood from the tauren's body.

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

But everyone leaned together, and the blood mosquitoes rushed up, almost all of them were burned to ashes by Yingli's "flame shock" and Annie's "flame sword", and they barely survived for the time being, but the tauren Luka was tall and couldn't fight us Crowded together, so I suffered a bit.

Senior sister Erica recited a complicated spell, and then a trace of cold rain fell from the sky, which finally drove away the blood mosquitoes, and we hurriedly retreated from this forest.

……

——I thought the environment in the rainforest was tough enough, but when we entered the swamp, we realized how comfortable the rainforest on the outskirts of Qiyan City is.
