Chapter 1384 188. The Indigenous People in the Swamp
In the depths of the misty swamp, the green palmflower flowers and leaves covered with water droplets are pushed aside, and the vision is obscured by the thick fog.

Ten great knights rode war horses silently across the water, and the horseshoes made ripples on the water.

The [-] costumed knights were divided into ten neat rows, and they rode solemnly on the marsh puddles, their formation appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Nebulu spiders will not easily step into the swamp, because their legs can't help them float on the water surface. There are many stagnant water pools in the swamp, as long as the depth of these pools is not lower than the two sides of the spider warrior's abdomen. Book lungs, they can only go around, so many swamps in the southern part of the Black Forest are refuges for indigenous people.

Of course, there will also be some giant spiders lurking on the edge of the swamp, where they form giant webs on the trees.When the barbarian slaves pass under the spider web, they usually snatch the giant spiders on the web. If these giant spiders do not want to become slaves under the crotch of the native warrior, they will become a delicious meal in the stomach of the barbarian slave.

Traces of giant spiders can also be found on the edge of the swamp. As we gradually deepened into this misty swamp, we did not find any indigenous people living in this swamp.

Connie told me that the Misty Swamp, like the Diseased Forest, is a forbidden area for the natives in the southern part of the Black Forest. The great witches in the tribe restrain all the tribesmen, and they must avoid the area when walking in the forest. Therefore, even the natives don't know what is hidden in this fog.

Whatever was lurking, my gut told me there was a lot of malice in this forest, like someone was always spying on me from behind us, but I didn't know who it was.

With the lessons learned from the diseased forest, I suspect that there must be something weird hidden in this woodland.

……

There is a faint smell of corruption in the mist. There are always some highlands in the swamp among the forests that are not submerged by water. Clusters of white translucent umbrella-shaped mushrooms grow on the roots of some trees exposed on the ground. There is a ring around the neck of the mushrooms The white ring looks like a crystal clear moonstone cup.

An orc warrior with a moonblade ax on his back jumped off his horse curiously, stepped on the water and walked to the root of the tree. Just as he was reaching out to pick the white mushroom, a standard crossbow shot at the orc warrior with a 'swish'. Just inserted into the mushroom bushes, the orc warrior stood up vigilantly, only to find an aboriginal warrior standing not far behind him. This aboriginal warrior was holding a standard crossbow in his hand, and pointed at the orc warrior with his mouth open. Li woo woo woo woo blah blah blah.

The orc warrior who was disturbed not only flew into a rage, but strode towards the native warrior with his eyes wider than a copper bell.

Just as the orc warrior picked up the collar of the native warrior's skin with his hands, held him up in the air, and was about to make close contact with the cheek of the native warrior with clenched fists, the leaves of a green grass under his feet instantly stretched out, entangled like vines On the orc warrior's legs, waist, chest, and arms, the orc warrior's punching movement was actually stopped by a blade of grass.

"You..." Just as the orc warrior yelled behind him, he was kicked by a boot and flew out obliquely, throwing the native warrior along with him. When the native warrior was flying in mid-air, A few bluegrass vines encircled him firmly like vines, and fell steadily on the water surface of the swamp.

The orc warrior was not so lucky. He fell on a big locust tree and fell into a puddle in the swamp.

The orc warriors who entered the fighting state lost the magical effect of 'walking on water', standing in the waist-deep water, looking at Kalancuo and Morayal who appeared beside the native warriors in time with a look of panic and panic.

Kalancuo stood proudly on the water. The hard leather armor of the Spiderman Warlord on her body made her look extraordinarily brave. She kicked the orc warrior away just now, so even if the orc warrior came back to his senses, he was just dumbfounded. Standing in the muddy water, he didn't dare to resist.

The afterglow of the magic-weave magic circle in front of him slowly dissipated, and the dark green hexagram under his feet also quietly receded. Then Moraya'er raised his eyes to look at the orc warrior, and said to him in a flat tone: "Just now It’s not that he shot you with an arrow, now I’m afraid you have been poisoned by those ghost mushrooms, even with the orc’s strong physique, you won’t be poisoned to death, but wanting these ghost mushrooms is enough to make you lie down for half a month.”

Connie walked up silently from behind Morayal, helped up the indigenous warrior in the vines, the indigenous warrior let out a long breath, straightened his collar, and faced Kalantso and Morayal The three of them, Connie and Connie, saluted cautiously, then turned and ran towards the marching team of the aborigines.

The orc warrior stood in the swamp in astonishment, completely unaware that the native warrior saved his life.

At this moment, Moraya'er calmly took out two leather gloves from her bosom, and took out a small magic sealing box, and went straight to the front of the group of ghost mushrooms. She frowned slightly and squatted down. He held his breath when he came down, and used a small peeling knife to gouge out the cluster of phantom mushrooms from the root of the tree, quickly put them into the magic sealing box, then quickly closed the lid of the box, and then made a simple seal to prevent The ghost mushroom slowly withers and withers in the magic sealing box.

Ghost mushroom is one of the most important ingredients for making invisibility potions. It is a rare type of mid-level magic herbal medicine in the magic market of the imperial capital. Poison a unicorn.

As a wood magician, Morayal is familiar with the characteristics of every plant magic herb. Obviously, the native warrior also knows the horror of the ghost mushroom, and he shot at him before he could stop the orc warrior. It was a life-saving arrow, but he was almost misunderstood by the orc warrior, and was frightened a little stupid by this series of changes for a while, and ran back to the native team immediately after he was free.

Perhaps after these changes, in the eyes of this native warrior, among the people in front of him, probably only the barbarian slaves are the best to get along with.

……

Our team has more than 3000 people, of which there are 1 constructed knights and knight retinues of the North Wind Legion, accounting for more than half of the total population.

As for my barbarian slaves and orc warriors, there are almost 1000 people.

In addition, there are more than 1000 indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe. This group of Gilda indigenous warriors participated in the Battle of the Bridge of Sunfury, because at the very beginning, the tribal leader was hot-headed and directly attacked the defense line of the Nibru Spiderman. More than 2000 soldiers were lost, so that after that battle, there were only less than [-] indigenous soldiers left. If it weren't for this journey, some of the indigenous people rescued along the way joined the Gilda tribe one after another. [-] people can't get together.

Ever since I entered the swamp, I have become extremely busy. Perhaps it is because of the relatively heavy rain these days. The entire swamp is almost completely soaked in water, and the places where weeds originally grew were almost flooded, so I can only cast the 'Water Walking' magic on everyone so that we all enter this misty swamp.

'Walking on Water' doesn't need much magic power to cast, but the magic effect is indeed very fragile, as long as the movement is a little heavy, the magic will fail. There are a large number of people in the team, and the thick fog in the swamp is very heavy, so there is no way to take care of it at a glance. global.

To ensure that all of the team has the magic effect of 'Walking on Water', I need to ride Gu Bolai horse and run around the whole team non-stop.

In order to avoid being attacked by unknown monsters in the misty swamp, the ten great knights in the North Wind Legion all walked at the front of the team. The aura of the second-rank powerhouse made some native monsters in the swamp retreat silently. Many monsters above the second level have already broken away from the category of survival instinct, possessed elementary intelligence, and can conduct preliminary analysis and judgment on unknown dangers. It is precisely because of this that we did not encounter any monster attacks along the way.

Earl Desmond was riding on horseback, with a serious expression on his face. He kept reminding the leaders of the Knights not to spread out too widely, and everyone must act on the water surface in the shallow water area of ​​the swamp. , in any case can not step into the deep water area.

What he is most worried about is that once he enters the combat state, the "water walking" state of all soldiers will disappear one after another. These constructed knights from the Northern Province will not have much water. In the waters of this swamp, the North The Constructed Knights in the Wind Legion have almost no combat effectiveness.

There are also some barbarian slaves who have the same mood as the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion. Even if they walk on the water, they still cannot overcome their fear of water.

On the contrary, those barbarian slaves who have participated in the adventure of the Vashki plane have a very natural expression, and they are particularly relaxed in this shallow swamp. These barbarian slaves and orc warriors have experienced tides in the Vashki plane. The island's murloc hunting operation, so I have enough confidence in me.

……

A swamp giant crocodile more than five meters long floated on the water like a piece of dead wood. Originally, this giant crocodile wanted to attack a constructed knight, but when it discovered in time that there was a whole large group behind the constructed knight People and horses, and these war horses were covered with solid armor, so they dived into the bottom of the water silently, no matter how much movement there was on the water surface, they would not show up again.

A costumed knight with a scarlet cloak on his back was riding a horse under a crooked locust tree. The knight's spear on the hook accidentally touched the tree trunk, and a cloud fell from the knight's head. torrential rain.

A red-skinned one-horned tree frog jumped out from the back of a leaf, as if frightened, its body changed from red to blue in an instant, then opened its mouth wide at the knight, and spewed out When a water arrow came, the constructed knight reacted very quickly. He held the knight's light shield in his hand and blocked the water arrow. When the water arrow hit the knight's light shield, it made a ding sound. The strong force almost knocked the knight off his horse.

An aborigine suddenly appeared next to the knight. He held a basket woven of thorny canes in his hand, and a tube made of leaves in the other. With a wave in front of him, he put the vacant one-horned tree frog into the tube made of leaves, and then stuffed the whole leaf into the rattan basket, easily catching the one-horned tree frog.This one-horned tree frog has a strange poison, which is the best material for making poison arrows.

It was this group of natives of the Gilda tribe who helped the build knights and orc warriors avoid some dangers lurking in the swamp during the march.

Originally, only the barbarian slaves in the team could look at the natives of the Gilda tribe with the eyes of normal people, but as our team went deeper into the misty swamp step by step, whether it was the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion or those under Kalan Cuo The proud orc warriors' views on these native warriors are changing little by little.

This group of indigenous warriors began to be respected by everyone in the team. They would not become arrogant just because they resolved a certain crisis, and they also did not need applause and praise, they just took away their share of spoils.

……

What surprised me the most was that no matter how I established a spiritual connection with the ancient tree spirits in the Misty Swamp, I couldn't feel any response from them. This forest seemed to be full of dead silence. There are no dryads at all, but I immediately realized that this idea was extremely wrong, because when I passed a huge tree, I could clearly feel some branches above my head moving slightly.

Obviously, the ancient tree spirits in the swamp mist do not want to contact us, and seem to be very wary of us.

A barbed thorn vine hangs down from the crown of the tree, and the sharp needles of the barbed thorn vine point directly at my face, a sharp spiritual force is introduced into my spiritual world, like an old witch With a hoarse voice, he screamed at me: "Outsiders, this is not the place for you to come, get out of here quickly, hurry up!"

There was a strong warning and threat in that voice, the barbed thorn vine was like a giant python, hanging down from the canopy of the tree, it was able to raise its tip high, assuming that it would fight immediately if it didn't listen to dissuasion.

I finally met the ancient tree spirit who was willing to communicate with me. I was shocked and immediately passed on my thoughts through the sea of ​​spirits:
"I want to see the ancient war tree in this swamp. We have come here with sincerity. The purpose of coming here is to help the ancient tree elves lift the black forest's thousand-year-old banning circle..."

What I didn't expect was that the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but also warned me with harsher words:

"Shut up, don't use these high-sounding words as a cover. Since you people have reached an alliance with the ancient war trees in the Thorn Crater, they are my enemies. Get out of my chassis quickly, or I will take you one by one from the swamp. Throw it out in the ground..."

The real danger lurking in the Misty Swamp has finally been revealed, and I am likely to be involved in the grievances and grievances of the tree spirits in this forest thousands of years ago. Trees belong to hostile powers...

Although it looks like it has no power...
