my age of magic

Chapter 724. Dustwallow Marsh

There is a rotten smell in the wetland in the black forest in front of me, and a faint blue mist floats on the water. From a distance, it looks like a small puddle is connected to another small puddle, and the clumps are piled on top of each other. To the invisible end of the fog, in the rainy summer of this swamp, those areas with water are almost connected together, and the muddy, wet and overgrown highlands appear to float alone on the water.

There are also many metasequoia trees and willow trees growing in the wetlands, and weeds grow on every high hill, such as houttuynia cordata, cattail grass, iris grass and some crooked trees, which look like the water. One island after another.

A few solitary metasequoia trees are at the intersection of the Black Forest and the wetland. These metasequoias grow very lushly, and a little further outside are some willow trees. There is no trace of wind, and we cannot see what is hidden in the distant fog. What, but there is an almost dead silence in this area.

The face of a soldier from the heavy armored infantry regiment was slightly flushed. The strange rosiness indicated that his physical strength had been completely exhausted. The reason why he was able to stand here alive and kicking now was entirely because the effect of the 'No. Not completely exhausted, he was still in a state of excitement, he couldn't help stepping one foot into the water.

With a sound of 'poof', the soldier's whole leg fell into the swamp, and the comrades beside him immediately reached out to support him, and several people worked together to drag him out of the puddle, and his leg was completely plunged into the pitch black In the mud, it turned out to be unable to extricate itself.

Everyone looked at the Dustwallow Marsh with some stupidity. It seemed that there was no place to set foot in this endless swamp. All the mud in the swamp had been soaked soft and rotten. There is no way to walk on it.

The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry looked at the swamp with despair in their eyes.

The spider warriors had already surrounded them, two kilometers away, and the number of those spiders was so huge that we had no time to go around the swamp.

I'm not sure if those spiders would rush into this swamp foolishly, but, through the gap between trees, everyone has seen the spider warrior chasing after them. We have only one way to go now, that is Just walk through the swamp.

The magic skill 'Walking on Water' is a general magic skill of the water attribute, which requires very little mana of the water element. I can use this magic at will, without worrying that it will consume all the mana in my magic pool. In fact, this magic does not use the mana in the magic pool at all, but draws water elements from various nodes in my body.

I cast this magic skill on every fighter, and those fighters were amazed to see their companions standing cautiously on the water.

"Remember, you must guess where there is water, and don't touch the soil on the shore, otherwise the magic will be invalid. This is not a big river, but a swamp in the Black Forest. Maybe, you will be caught by the water all at once." Be swallowed by the silt under the ground, so be careful!" Kalancuo told almost every orc warrior like this.

Then he took this group of orc warriors to step on the water surface of the swamp, every warrior seemed very careful.

Standing on the mirror-like water, they looked down curiously at their own reflections on the water. Every time they took a step, there would be ripples along the tip of their toes, spreading around, and then gradually disappearing and recovering. calm.

You can also see big blue and white fish swimming slowly under the water surface, see the light and shadow changes on the water surface, and quickly get into the lush aquatic plants.

"Now we can eat grilled fish tonight!" an orc warrior shouted excitedly. He carried a bundle of grass behind his back, and his walking looked a little funny.

I asked the orc warriors to harvest these weeds along the road, and almost every orc warrior carried a bundle of weeds behind him.

The orcs live a nomadic life of half herding and half hunting on the Pai Plateau. Many orc tribes raise cattle and yellow sheep. The orcs are very good at mowing grass. More than 40 orc warriors walk with weeds on their backs. into the swamp.

"Don't stop here, keep going inside!" I said to the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment who had the magic state of 'water walking' but waited blankly, and said to the orcs: "You Go inside too, go all the way there..."

I pointed to a Metasequoia tree in the distance with my hand, and then said to the orc warrior: "Yes, that's right there, just stop there, and tie all these weeds into straw figures!"

"Jijia, what is a straw man?" The young orc Kentoya scratched his head and looked at me blankly.

I slapped my forehead hard, I bought cakes, I forgot that the orcs never pricked straw men, they didn't farm, and they didn't need straw men to help them drive away the crows in the cornfield.

At this time, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment who were behind suddenly turned their heads and said to me: "Master Magician, many people in our regiment are good at weeding people, we can leave this matter to us." !"

"Oh? Do you know how to make straw people?" I asked with some uncertainty.

Seeing that I was very interested in what he said, the soldier seemed very excited, and quickly said to me like pouring beans: "Yes, Lord Magician, Lord Marquis Armand gave us his land to plant For food, we only need to pay some land tax to Lord Marquis every year, and serve for three months every five years. Almost everyone in our regiment has their own fields. !"

"Okay, okay, you go over there with those orc warriors, move quickly! Remember, you must find some clothes for those straw men!" I stood on the shore and urged, and there were constantly soldiers My body was blessed with the magic of 'walking on water', and they walked into the swamp in a row.

Qige stepped on the 'floating technique', stood beside me quietly, watched me cast magic without any scruples, and asked me curiously: "Hey, Jijia, you seem to be familiar with this magic, I'm very curious , you cast spells continuously like this, how many warriors do you need to consume all the mana in the magic pool?"

"At least [-] people, probably more than that. Maybe I'll slow down the pace a little bit, so I can keep blessing like this." I smiled at Qige and said.

Hearing what I said, Qige widened his eyes and asked, "Did you try it?"

"of course."

The water magic circle on my fingertips has never stopped. Those smooth magic runes form water element halos, which fall on the soldiers again and again, as smooth as a filling assembly line.

A young orc warrior was carrying a large bundle of weeds. He was surprised to find that he could stand on the water, happily chasing the orc warrior in front, and exclaimed repeatedly: "Hey, wait for me, look, this What kind of incredible power is that!"

Walking in front was an old orc warrior, who sneered at the young orc behind him and said, "What's the fuss, many elders in our tribe knew this kind of spell, but you were too young at that time, remember It’s not what our tribe used to be.”

The young orc warrior was at a loss: "Our tribe? Isn't our tribe located in Xinliu Valley? Elder Zewang doesn't know any magic..."

His eyes were full of satisfaction with life, and the old orc warrior said with emotion: "Yes... Our tribe lives a rich and comfortable life, and can freely chase the wind on the grassland. This kind of life is really a dream I never thought about it..."

……

A huge magic circle of water elements is hidden under the water surface in the swamp.

A huge ice net is hidden in the water pool in this swamp, and it continues to spread outward. The hexagram-shaped giant net constantly breeds new branches, and countless ice edges form under the water surface.

This is my ice magic, I call it 'ice net'.

He said softly, 'Ning Bing! '

Under my mana, the puddles in the swamp quickly condensed into a smooth mirror-like ice surface with me as the center, and spread outward at an extremely fast speed. The coldness hit, this time the condensation in the swamp On this huge water surface, the mana in his body is like a flood that has burst a bank, rushing out quickly.

Just between breathing, the mana in the magic pool in my body was drained, and the mana in the magic pool reached the lowest critical point.

The 'ice' magic was forced to stop, and the magic power contained in each node in the body quickly poured into the magic pool, adding that it was the magic power contained in each node in the body that did not dry up the mana in the magic pool.

If the mana in the magic pool is exhausted, it will grow your own magic pool and cause immeasurable damage. Fortunately, the mana in the node saved the magic pool.

The water surface in this area on the edge of the swamp has all condensed into ice.

The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, causing more blue mist to rise from the swamp, and my vision became somewhat blurred. I was worried that the spider warriors who rushed over would not be able to see me.

……

The sound of 'rumbling' made the ground in the entire Black Forest tremble. A large number of spider warriors finally rushed to the edge of Dustwallow Marsh. The leader of the spider warriors raised high the big iron spear in his hand. The spiders began to stop one after another, gathering at the edge of the swamp.

Followed by hundreds of giant spider slaves, they surrounded the spider man warrior, poured out from the forest, and the place they passed was a mess.

After two days and one night of long-distance raids, these more than 300 spider warriors exhausted a lot of physical strength, and their abdomens were like steam engines that were constantly steaming, spewing white water vapor outwards, and making 'woo There was a 'woo' sound, their bodies heaved violently, and the big iron guns in their hands seemed a little unsteady.

The edge of the swamp looked a bit muddy. There were footprints of Orc warriors and Green warriors everywhere. These footprints extended into the swamp. All the signs showed that the army that the spiders were chasing walked into the swamp. among.

However, the spiders were hesitant, looking at this endless swamp, the spider warriors didn't want to set foot in it.

A gust of cold wind blew away the fog in the swamp.

The wind was surprisingly cold, making the spiders feel a little uncomfortable.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart, fortunately there was a gust of cold wind blowing away the thick fog.

If it wasn't for this gust of wind, I don't know how long it would take for the spiders to notice me squatting on the ice. I was wearing a linen suit, with some dead tree bark around my legs and arms, and my face was covered with mud. It looked like an indigenous child.

At this moment, the spider warriors became quiet, because they found me on the ice.

Then a spider warrior suddenly realized something, and he immediately ordered a giant spider to crawl forward a few steps. Although the giant spider hesitated, it didn't dare to disobey the spider warrior's order. , stepped on the muddy ground, crawled a few steps forward, and wanted to stop, but the urging voice of the spider warrior came from behind him again.

The giant spider reluctantly continued to crawl forward. This kind of wet mud made the giant spider feel very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, its spider legs stepped on a hard, hard ground, and it tried hard, like a cold rock, it stepped on it without hesitation...

All the spidermen stared blankly at the giant spider standing on the water surface of the swamp, oh, where is the water surface, this swamp is clearly a layer of extremely clean ice.

The spider warrior took two steps forward, his heavy body stood on the ice, like standing on a cold rock.

Then all the spider warriors looked at me who was a hundred meters away. They grinned grinningly and rushed towards me without hesitation. They probably hated us to the core. These two days, I made them sleepless install.

Originally, these spiders were still hesitating, but when they saw the water was freezing, they jumped onto the ice one by one, regardless of 21.

Seeing that the spiders had lost their scruples, I turned around and ran away.

At this time, a few long shaft feather arrows were shot from a further distance, but these feather arrows were a little fluttering, flying over the heads of the spider people.

There was a wind blowing, and the fog dispersed a little.

These spider people saw... in the mist, there was a row of warriors vaguely standing, and those feathered arrows happened to be shot from there.

And I ran directly in the direction of those soldiers, and I ran very fast on the ice.

The spider warriors stepped on the ice, scrambling to rush forward, and the giant spiders behind them also rushed in like a black tide.

The big iron spears that covered the sky made piercing sounds, and the spider warriors threw the big iron spears in their hands one after another. Those big iron spears pierced into the crowd of soldiers, but there was no movement at all.

At this moment, I turned into a cloud of shadow mist, taking advantage of the mist in the swamp, and quickly slipped away. Fortunately, when the spider warriors threw the big iron spears, the target did not choose me, so I could relax escape.

The target they threw, as I expected, was directly aimed at the straw man I had arranged in advance.

This round of big iron spears came down and completely smashed dozens of straw figures to pieces.

The spiders stepped on the ice, and their sharp spider legs pierced into the ice, making them very comfortable to run.

It's just that they were running, and found that the indigenous boys in front were gone, and then found that a group of warriors were ambushing them in the mist, and they threw a round of javelins at the warriors in the mist, and then roared and rushed towards the enemies .

Before they rushed to those enemies, the spider warrior who rushed in the front suddenly realized that the enemies in front of them were all fake.

Those spiders tried to stop, but the ice was too slippery, their bodies slid forward uncontrollably on the ice, until the front spider warrior finally fell into the ice with the sound of cracking ice. In the quagmire of the swamp, one after another fell into the quagmire like dumplings, and the sound of "plop plop" was endless.

Many spider warriors crossed the thickest ice area, and the bodies of many spider warriors were too heavy, and the ice in the swamp shattered.

The spider warriors fell into the mud of the swamp, but their stomachs were full of anger. The spider warriors stood in the muddy water, struggling to pounce on the enemies in the mist ahead, their overly heavy bodies being softened little by little. The mud was swallowed up, the more these spidermen struggled, the faster their bodies sank...

The three hundred spider warriors who rushed to the front all fell into the quagmire of Dustwallow Marsh for a while, and nearly half of the giant spiders following them fell into the quagmire of the swamp, and the remaining 200 giant spiders Fleeing to the shore in a hurry...
