Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 60

"Tch." Buchton seldom talked directly to Licia, and if he was mentioned, he would say the word "tch."

Fudomi nodded. "Thank you, Lycia."

They could already see the woods, and the swamp was just beyond the woods.

The wind blowing on the face can already feel that it has become obviously humid.

"It looks like it's going to rain ahead." Licia looked back at the campsite again, and the sky was clear.

"This is very strange." Fudomi took out a miniature staff from his pocket, and gathered the power of the heraldry in his palm through the staff. "The moisture content in the air is too high." Several pieces of ice balls fell from the air immediately.

Licia caught one of them, and the ice quickly melted into water droplets in her hands.

"Go on?" Licia asked the other two.

Buchton finally spoke something else. "Walk."

Fudomi also nodded.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the forest, they felt that the original breeze seemed to have suddenly disappeared. This swamp was obviously a bit weird.

"It is said that the Beihe River used to flow through this area, so there is a swamp." Licia has read the Beihe Geography, so she knows something about it.

"It's all water."

Licia saw that Fudomi's fingers were full of water droplets. She had a low body temperature and had a strong affinity for water.

Across the forest, a black swamp gurgled, bubbling like a thick, boiling soup.

"Theoretically speaking, if you throw something into a swamp like this, it shouldn't float." Licia didn't say it was an illegitimate child, and Dimitri didn't tell anyone that he was looking for an illegitimate child. , just say looking for an item.

Buchton chopped a piece of wood with his sword. "If it's wood, it won't sink in."

However, when he threw it into the swamp, the black mud wrapped the wood and disappeared in an instant.

"It seems that the mud is not ordinary mud." Fudomi froze part of the mud, and then Buchton picked it back with the tip of his sword.

After a small piece of frozen mud ice fell into the collection bottle, it quickly melted, and then turned into a ball of slurry water, bumping back and forth in the closed bottle, as if alive.

"Your Highness, it may be difficult to find something, and we can't turn over the whole swamp with our abilities." Fudomi handed the bottle to Licia.

"We're just here to have a look first, how to do it, and we'll discuss it when we get back." Licia took the bottle and put it in the bag properly.

"Hey, over there, the red fruit, that's the blood fruit!" Licia thought of the task assigned to her by Teacher Ke Lier from the bottle, a bottle of blood fruit.

"What's a blood fruit?" Although Fudomi and Buchton were senior students and had already studied Potions, they still hadn't heard of the uncommon blood fruit.

They saw Licia go around the swamp and run towards the other side of the bank.

"Be careful, Licia!" cried Fudomi, following Lizia.

"I'm not going." Buchton stopped where he was holding his sword, but still looked at Licia and the others.

Licia only knows that the blood berry is non-toxic on the surface and can be picked directly by hand.

"Why can't I pull it off?" Licia held the stem of the plant with her right hand, and with her left hand, she thought that she could gently pick off the blood fruit that was only the size of a little finger.

But she found that this red, crystal-clear fruit is very hard, and so are its branches.

Licia could only take out her silver ring, but as soon as the branch was cut off, the fruit immediately fell from the branch to the ground, and some of it fell into the swamp.

The part that fell on the ground turned into red powder less than 30 seconds after touching the ground.

Teacher Ke Lier's task is really not that simple.

Licia could only take out the bottle that Ke Lier gave her from her backpack, and put it under the branch, ready to catch the blood fruit.

"Need help?" Fudomi followed.

Licia was very focused, so I ignored her for the time being.

"Finally!" Licia finally caught a fruit. Sure enough, after the blood fruit fell into the bottle, it didn't fall apart.

She weighed the bottle that Teacher Ke Lier gave her. When will she pick it up?

"Help me, help Domi." Licia could only turn to others for help. "Help the bottle for me, and then I try to get all the fruit into the bottle.

Although it was still difficult to operate, the two of them worked a little faster.

Because they had been concentrating on their work, neither of them looked at the road.

As soon as Fudomi finished picking these three words, Licia stepped on the ground and fell into the swamp.

She hurriedly sealed the swamp with ice, but after Licia fell, a meter-high mud was stirred up, as if she had a self-consciousness, the mud wrapped Licia and dragged her in.

"Don't do anything stupid!" Buchton paused and shouted at Fudomi who was stretching out his hand. "If she can be blessed, she will be fine, and she doesn't need to accompany another one in."

"Shut up!" Fudomi closed Licia's bottle with trembling hands, and put it in a bag. "I have to keep something like this for her, and then give it to her when she comes back."

"Licia!" Fudomi yelled.

Lycia, who fell into the mud, was very conscious. Although her skin hurt as if it was about to be peeled off, she was confident that her life was not in danger.

She could even hear Fudomi shouting.

But she couldn't open her mouth, and couldn't respond to Fudomi.

The mud became thicker as it went down, and it seemed to be wriggling. Licia felt that she was being sent to a place.

Soon, the movement stopped.

The pain of peeling off the skin quickly weakened a lot, and Licia didn't know if she had gotten used to it.

"Why are you alive again!" A bluffing voice burst into Licia's almost numb ears.

Then the mud around her moved away from her body, giving her a space to move her body slightly, and the light of the silver ring illuminated Licia's surroundings.

Licia looked at the skin on the back of her hand for the first time. Fortunately, except for some redness, it was not really peeled off. It was not as serious as the injury suffered when being dragged into the ground a few days ago.

"You, you, why did you fall, don't you know it's dangerous here!" A small figure emerged from Licia's hand, circling around her.

"Black Pearl?" Licia somehow thought of the mud monster she saw at the Black Pearl Auction House.

"You actually know me? Could it be that you came here specially to find me?" The villain stopped in his tracks, satisfied with the way Licia called it the Black Pearl, and even sat down with his legs crossed.

"Yeah, I'm here to look for you." For creatures that can't see the favorability, it won't make a big mistake to follow its words.

"Didn't you come to my circus once? Why did you travel so far to find me?" the mud man asked.
