Chapter 1617 166. The War Between the Lizardmen Tribes
We circled nearly [-] kilometers along the hills at the edge of the Piatilla Mountains, and passed through the edge of the wild swamp. Along the way, some lizard tribes have been razed to ruins, and most of the lizardmen have migrated to the depths of the wild swamp.

We passed the ruins of a lizard tribe and found that many lizardmen in this tribe like to build thatched huts under palm trees. Vanilla, the smell of this vanilla not only has the effect of calming the nerves, but also can drive away some poisonous insects in the jungle.

There are almost no living lizardmen in the area at the edge of the swamp, because in the eyes of the lizardmen warriors, when some small tribes perish, the biggest fortune they can get is these lizardman captives. After the war is completely lost on one side, those saurockey captives will become the enslaved people of the winning tribe.

There are many threats in the wild swamp, and you will die here if you don't pay attention.

For example, the hunters in the lizard tribe have light green stripes on their bodies. These hunters hide in the jungle and are difficult to find. They hunt in the swamp with their superb archery skills. Warcraft, or the adventure group of the Grimm Empire, are all targets in their eyes.

There are also some monsters that have survived in such poor mountains and waters, and they are also a great threat to our adventure group. Just in the Piatilla Mountains on the edge of the wild swamp, we met a poisonous wind snake with the initial strength of the third level. It is said that There are more mid-level monsters hidden deep in the swamp.

As a guide who often lived in wild swamps, Nathaniel kept in mind hundreds of dangerous areas. In addition to some large tribes of lizardmen, these dangerous areas were also the territories of some group-dwelling monsters. They are difficult to deal with, and the magic materials on them are of little practical value. Groups of low-level monsters occupy a large area of ​​land on the edge of the wild swamp. Few adventure groups are willing to provoke these group-dwelling monsters.

In addition, the wild swamp is full of dangerous situations, and once you enter by mistake, your life will be endangered.

If there is no experienced guide in the adventure group, it is extremely dangerous to venture into the wild swamp.

……

A group of lizard hunters passed through the bushes a hundred meters away. They had turquoise skin with light-colored markings. They only wore a simple leather skirt around their waists. They carried a short hunting bow on their backs. Their golden eyes There was a cold glow in the pupils.

More than a hundred orc warriors hid in the mud behind the wild grass, waiting quietly for the group of lizard warriors to pass by. The group of lizard warriors did not find the orc warriors lurking in the grass. Passed by.

After the group of lizard hunters slowly disappeared into the dense forest, the tauren Luka got up from the muddy water, sat on a dry place in the wild grass, and took out a dagger to gouge out a blood-sucking leech stuck to his chest. down.

Justus poked his head out from Luka the Tauren, squinting his eyes in the direction where the Saurus Stalker had vanished, and kissed his lips.

It seems that the killing of the slave trader three days ago caused some subtle changes in his heart. The nature of the sea monster is like a bud growing in his heart. He looks at the enemy's eyes, always seems to be Thirst for the taste of blood.

Walking through the wild swamp, in fact, the rainforest scenery does not bring us any novelty. We are still full of curiosity about this rainforest swamp in the first week, but now we are used to seeing the dense tropical forest when we open our eyes. Plants, huge banana leaves can be touched by reaching out, and the same rainforest scenery here makes me feel a little boring.

Although he has the insect repellent ointment provided by the Yero natives, there are still some insects flying around in front of his eyes every day. The tauren is full of blood, and some flying insects like to fly around him. His shaking head, Constantly driving away mosquitoes, there was a hint of impetuous look on his face.

The swamp is like a huge quagmire. We often walk and our bodies are completely swallowed by the quagmire. Sometimes the whole leg will step into the rotten mud, or be tightly entangled by the roots of some plants. Many plants here are They have the instinct of hunting. After they entangle their prey, the roots will pull the prey and drag it desperately into the underground soil.

Fortunately, we don't have any problems with our logistical supplies. We don't have to hunt wild animals in the swamp rainforest every day to improve our food. We can eat white bread, vegetable soup and steak almost every day.

Yingli and Su would occasionally sit on the shoulders of the tauren Luka. These mages are very weak in body. Sometimes when they are tired from walking, the kind tauren will lift them on his generous shoulders, so that They take a break.

Our team walked for another three days to the depths of the wild swamp along the road that Moraya had walked.

……

"Okay, everyone take a break."

I yelled.

The orcs sat down on the spot without any image. In such a hot weather, even hiding in the shade would sweat, let alone wearing hard leather armor in the impenetrable swamp. The orcs untied their waists one after another. water sac, gulping cold water and pouring the rest over his head.

Every time he takes a break, Ying Li will take out a 'Water Gathering' rune board and hang it on the tree trunk. Under the operation of the magic pattern circle, the clear and sweet water will fall into the water collector. These orcs After resting enough, they would line up in front of the 'Water Gathering' rune board and refill their water bladders with clean water.

I took out a dozen round green-skinned watermelons from my magic pocket, and under Nathaniel's astonished gaze, I divided them out.

Nathaniel held a piece of sandy watermelon that I handed over in both hands, and couldn't help asking me: "Master Jijia, when you are practicing in the field, do you want to store some fruits in the magic space?"

I rubbed my nose, facing Nathaniel who was showing adoring gaze, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Ah! With enough space in the magic package, I can bring a little of everything I like."

Nathaniel smiled reluctantly, his eyes seemed to be looking at a luxurious and lustful nobleman, I think he must think that I filled my incomparably precious magic pocket with useless vegetables, fruits and meat, Pure waste.

It is impossible for me to explain to him that I actually have a demiplane, so I can only pat him on the shoulder and say to him: "If you need anything, you can find me. I am very well prepared for this adventure."

I said politely to Nathaniel, after all, we still need him to lead us to find the ancient ruins hidden in the wild swamp.

After walking into the rainforest for so many days, I finally know why Moraya came to Qiyan City in advance. In fact, she came here specially to invite Nathaniel, even though Moraya had seen the ancient ruins in the rainforest , but it is absolutely impossible for Moraya to find that small ancient ruin in such a large wild swamp.

Nathaniel's skin is dark, probably the skin color formed after being exposed to the hot sun. His nose is a bit flat, his forehead is very full, his eyes are very energetic, and his height is less than 170 centimeters. Almost all the southerners of the Green Empire are like this Son, compared to the tall and big northerners, is a little shorter, but he is smarter. He is like a living map in a wild swamp, and many things are firmly in his mind.

He is more afraid of Kalanco. For this 190 cm tall beast female warrior, Nathaniel stands in front of him like a half-grown child. As long as Kalanco glances at him casually, I can feel Nathaniel The muscles in his calf were shaking, and he was really scared.

Nathaniel would occasionally rest his gaze on Helena's beautiful face, and whenever this happened, he would hide in a corner or behind a tree where no one should be found, with his mouth open and his eyes shining , is really a bit wretched.

Moraya sat with Teacher Heidi, and her poisonous vine surrounded her, constantly burrowing in and out of the soil. This swamp was simply the most suitable place for it to live.Instructor Heidi was covered in a black magic robe, and even her face was hidden under the hood. Although the sun was scorching, there was always some chill around her body. After she was promoted to the second-rank magician, there was no Doubt has the body of the ice element, and the coldness emanating from her body probably comes from her.

She seems to have been researching the magical subject of 'the fusion of ice elements' recently.

I sighed softly, probably because she knew that Sister Guoguo's current body is an ice elemental spirit, even if she restores the memory in the soul fragment in the future, the best result is that Sister Guoguo will fuse with the ice elemental spirit, Become an ice elementalist in the elemental world.

Mentor Heidi's desire to become an ice element probably has something to do with Sister Guoguo.

Annie shook the mud off her boots, and casually swept away a clump of grass with the long sword. The flames burning on the long sword drove away the mosquitoes lurking in the wild grass. The flames on the long sword were not the magic of Storm Sword itself. As a result, Anne condensed the fire magic element and attached it to the long sword.

The flame has a good repelling effect on the mosquitoes in the green grass. From time to time, some flying insects turn into little sparks under Annie's flame sword.

She sat with Su, and their sisters always sat at the farthest place from Teacher Heidi. They hardly communicated with Teacher Heidi along the way. It seems that there is still a big gap between the two sides, and this gap Cannot be erased by time.

……

What the guide Nathaniel has to do every day is to climb to the top of a tree or a high hill, and use experience to judge whether our team is on the original road.

At this time, I will also take out the magic image crystal that Morayaer gave me to compare the surrounding scenery.

Standing on the top of a big banyan tree, Nathaniel raised his eyes and pointed to the faint fog shrouded in the distance fifteen kilometers away. The jungle formed by dozens of towering giant trees was particularly conspicuous. There was light rain in the sky, and the people in the rain curtain The view is a little blurry.

He wiped a handful of rainwater on his face with his hand, and said to me: "Jijia, in front of you is the territory of the Muniji tribe. During the heyday of this lizard tribe, there were probably tens of thousands of lizardmen living in the tribe. The largest lizard tribe in the area, their tribal chiefs are hostile to humans, we need to bypass the edge of their territory, their lizard hunters have a wide range of activities, we have to be careful."

I nodded, looking at the huge expanse of giant trees in the distance, I really wanted to take a look inside such a large-scale lizard tribe.

Descending from the top of the tree, I came to the side of Luka the tauren.

At this time, I saw that there were more than a dozen lizard war slaves gathered in front of the tauren Luka. These lizardmen only wore a piece of linen around their waists, sitting cross-legged in the swamp.Their bodies have large skeletons, and their bodies are full of explosive muscles. They have vertical golden pupils, and there is no emotion in their eyes.

"Didn't those lizardmen be released?" I took Lukara aside and asked, "Why haven't they been dealt with until now?"

Luka said with embarrassment: "Except for some who don't want to leave, the others have already been let go."

I heard from Luka that some lizard slaves were unwilling to leave or regain their freedom, which caught me by surprise.

"Luka, what happened to those lizardmen who didn't want to leave?" I then asked Justus.

Justus walked up to Luka and said to me, "There are some lizard slaves who don't want to leave. They think that since we killed Uttas and Brother Angus, they are our property..."

I looked at Luka and Justus suspiciously, and asked them, "How did this happen? You didn't take off the slave collars around their necks?"

Justus spread his hands helplessly, and explained to me: "The lizard slaves heard that I was going to help them untie their slave collars, as if they had a premonition that the end of the world was coming, they huddled together and trembled, according to me Look, these lizardmen have been slaves for too long, as if they regarded themselves as goods, and they have long forgotten the jungle life here."

The tauren Luka asked me: "Should we still take this team of lizard warriors? Ji Jia!"

I looked down and thought for a moment before I said, "I'd like to try, maybe they will help us in our jungle life."

Hearing what I said, Justus immediately retorted: "Maybe they will attract some lizard warriors to cause trouble for us. In my opinion, these lizard slaves are of no use to us. It's better to kill them all." , so things are much simpler.”

"Let's keep it for now, maybe we'll need them again, and we can't send a few orc warriors to watch them." I said to Justus.

After listening to my decision, Justus didn't say anything more.

Our team rested in the swamp for a while, then bypassed the Muniji tribe ahead, and crossed the area along the edge of the lizard tribe's territory.

At dusk, we finally stepped out of the territory of the Muniji tribe.

At this time, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and saw that there was still some time before it got dark, so he led us to move on.

Just when we passed a dense forest, we heard the sound of fighting in the dense forest...
