From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 65 Mire
To protect Tang Ruosheng and the information in the tower.

An Jing and the others had to give up chasing the tree man, and instead fought against the monsters rushing out of the swamp.

However, the number of monsters lurking in the swamp has exceeded expectations.

Slashing the centipede with a knife, An Jing looked at the quagmire not far away where there were still monsters emerging, and said in a deep voice,
"Alternate cover and retreat to the tower, let Commander Lu take Bachelor Tang away immediately!"

The Tower is located in the center of the Mire.

Once a large-scale melee breaks out, monsters will come from all directions.

It's a big taboo for military strategists to be attacked by the enemy!
Hu Zhijing and others who were stationed outside the quagmire also noticed the abnormality at this time, and began to shoot arrows at the quagmire, trying to share the pressure and buy time for An Jing and others to retreat.

An Jing led the team to fight and retreat, and entered the tower.

The outer area was immediately occupied by monsters. A centipede three to five meters long jumped all over the ground, and a giant toad covered in muddy water floated up from the mud, and a pair of abscessed eyeballs locked onto the tower.

What is surprising is that these monsters seem to be violent, but none of them dare to invade the interior of the tower.

Even those centipedes that can easily climb the walls of the tower dare only wander outside.

An Jing, who noticed this, quickly led the team back to the top floor of the tower.

Commander Lu has already noticed the change in the bottom, and directly ordered several people to collect the research materials scattered everywhere as quickly as possible.

Tang Ruosheng also knew that it was not suitable to continue studying at this time, so he took off his coat and used it as a cloth bag, wrapping the bamboo slips that the deer head monster jumped out of.

"It may be due to the material of the tower, or some kind of magic circle arranged in the building, which makes the monsters afraid to approach."

An Jing stepped on the gap in the roof with his right foot, leaned forward, looked at the dense crowd of monsters below, and frowned.

"As soon as we leave the tower, I'm afraid we will be attacked immediately."

"The monsters in the mud are wandering outside, but the treants can come in and out freely, and even directly destroy the tower. What is the origin of it?"

Just now on the top of the building, Commander Lu also heard the movement on the fourth floor of the tower, but when she arrived, she only saw the tree man's back.

"The Appearance of a Tree Man"

An Jing was about to mention the shape of the tree man he had observed, when Tang Ruosheng was reminded that he was ready.

The three soldiers in the team prepared cloth bags in advance considering that they might have to carry items when they set off.

"It's a pity that time is too tight, and the monster in the swamp was disturbed by the tree man, and it's too late to see the situation of the alchemy furnace."

Handing the package containing the bamboo slips to An Jing, Tang Ruosheng said with a somewhat dejected expression.

It is undoubtedly a pity for him to see that the alchemy furnace that once refined the elixir is downstairs, but he cannot study it up close.

But the most important thing now is to find a way to get out of the predicament.

Where there is life, there is hope.

"We still go to the high canopy, and I will build a bridge to open the way, and try to avoid conflicts with the monsters in the mud."

Commander Lu looked back to confirm that the bamboo slips and other research materials had been loaded, then took out the medicine bottle from his waist, took a elixir covered with dense purple on the surface, stared at An Jing and said,

"You only have one chance. You must ensure the safety of Bachelor Tang. If something happens to him, you will not survive!"

"clear."

Without the reminder from Commander Lu, An Jing also knew that Tang Ruosheng was the key to him completing the main mission, so he nodded solemnly.

Taking two steps back, Commander Lu raised her eyes to lock on to a suitable foothold in front of her. The elixir took effect in her body, and her eyes were stained with a strange purple light.

The moment he jumped out of the tower, he drew his sword out of its sheath.

Suddenly, the few people standing behind felt a biting cold mist blowing towards their faces, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes.

Starting from the gap in the tower, the ice bridge reappeared, and this time it was no longer just a short bridge that was only seven or eight meters away. Stitch them together.

It was actually a [-]-meter-long ice arch bridge erected over the swamp!
An Jing ran forward without hesitation.

After stepping on the ice bridge, he found that the bridge body is extremely strong, and because there are a lot of branches and leaves mixed in, as long as he is careful, the soles of his feet will not slip, and he can completely let go of his speed.

Of course, the behavior of leaving the tower unsurprisingly stimulated many mud monsters below.

They didn't dare to break into the tower, but launched a fierce attack on the few people who stepped on the ice bridge.

The hundred-handed centipede flew up with insect wings spread out from behind, and the swamp toad even opened its mouth wide, spewing a large cloud of yellow-green dirty mud towards the few people running between the tree crowns, and there were worm-like monsters writhing in the swamp not far away , opened its mouthparts full of fangs, waiting for someone to fall.

"Anyway, don't stop at the same place, run up, watch your flanks!"

Commander Lu condensed her sword into ice thorns and pierced through the centipedes that flew in the air. Even if she took the pill, the consumption of making the ice bridge was extremely huge for her, so she couldn't maintain the existence of the ice bridge for a long time. The bridge almost collapsed while running.

An Jing carried Tang Ruosheng on his back, and held the most important part of the research materials in his hands. He couldn't do anything at all, so he could only rely on other people to help him defend against the attack of the mire monster.

There was no way, Commander Lu wanted to open the way ahead, and he was the only one among the remaining people who could carry Tang Ruosheng on his back and walk freely in the high treetops.

Because of this, the irresistible An Ning soon became the target of monsters.

Several centipedes flapped their wings, dodged the ice thorns, and charged towards An Jing's position, trying to knock him off the ice bridge.

At the critical moment, two flaming hosta flew over and killed the centipede in the air.

Before An Jing could react, there was a graceful figure passing by, her skirt fluttering.

Nangong Lian is like a dancer, borrowing strength from the branches around Anjing, dodging and moving, the two jade hairpins are like flowing fire, constantly blocking the attacks of monsters for him, occasionally crossing their eyes, chuckling and blinking, and said softly,

"Unscrupulous man, you have to remember my kindness."

With Nangong Lian's full protection, the remaining [-] meters is undoubtedly much easier.

Commander Lu consciously lowered the end of the ice bridge, put it on the edge of the swamp where the army was stationed, and led everyone to slide down.

General Hushen also arranged a defensive position in advance, preparing to cover their withdrawal from the dangerous area where the quagmire was located.

But just when the group of people was about to meet, a sudden change occurred in the swamp.

The muddy water full of filth rose into the sky.

Dozens of tentacles protruded from it, shaking off the mud and revealing the monster's real body.

A giant loach with half a human body growing in front of its forehead, and its body is full of long and narrow tentacles and spliced ​​human limbs!

With dry arms stretched out, the skinny body like a skeleton raised up, white eyeballs flicked left and right, as if looking for something, finally locked on the location of An Jing and Commander Lu, and said sharply,

"How dare you kill it to die!!!"
