kingly way

Chapter 183 Chapter 183 Blood-sucking Monster
Ying Luo and Tao Yilan bid farewell to Yuncheng Steel, and continued to set off for Ziling City, the capital of Dan Kingdom...

"We have already crossed the Huaihe River, and we have reached Tongbai Mountain. The forest inside Tongbai Mountain is the paradise where Uncle Duan and the others live. Now that we are here, I might as well go see Uncle Duan and the others."

Ying Luo pointed to the high mountain ahead.

"Okay, I haven't seen Uncle Duan and the others for a long time, I don't know how they are doing now." Tao Yilan suddenly became happy.

Ying Luo and the others continued to gallop forward and arrived at Tongbai Mountain in a short while. They dismounted and led the horse into Tongbai Mountain.

Before Ying Luo came to the Black Swamp Forest and the swamp, he had the experience of crossing the swamp under the guidance of Duan Yingwu. He knew from Duan Yingwu that the swamp was very humid. According to the plants that grow in the swamp, The safety and danger of the swamp can be judged by the difference from the plants in the dry land and the development of the trees.

There was no danger along the way, and they quickly entered the forest.

"The robber is coming, the robber is coming..."

Ying Luo suddenly heard a few shouts.

"Is it the person Uncle Duan arranged to watch?" Tao Yilan asked when she heard the voice.

"We are friends of Uncle Duan Yingwu. We are here to visit Uncle Duan. Please let us know." Ying Luo shouted in the direction of the voice.

"The robber, the robber is here... The robber is here..." The other party ignored Ying Luo and continued to shout.

"This is not a human voice."

After listening to the voice carefully, Ying Luo pointed to the tree branch in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

"It turned out to be a blood parrot."

Tao Yilan looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out that it was two blood-red parrots standing on a tree branch and shouting at him.

"We are not robbers, we are Uncle Duan's friends."

Ying Luo imitated the voice of the blood parrot and smiled at the two parrots.

"Liar, liar, you are robbers, you are robbers..."

The two blood parrots yelled and flew around and then flew away.

"This blood parrot is simply an elf in the Black Marsh Forest."

Ying Luo looked at the flying blood parrot and smiled slightly.

"The name of the blood parrot sounds a bit scary, but it is very cute." Tao Yilan also smiled.

"Let's go, we will see Uncle Duan soon." Ying Luo drove forward.

"Uncle Duan is very experienced in the swamp forest. Without the experience he taught, it would definitely not be easy to walk in the swamp." Tao Yilan carefully steered the horse forward.

"quack……"

As soon as Tao Yilan's voice fell, several terrifying strange sounds suddenly came from the swamp forest...

"What's that sound? It sounds like a strange animal."

Tao Yilan frightened and turned towards the direction of the sound.

"I don't know either, it seems to be the sound of an animal." Ying Luo looked at the direction of the sound.

"There should not be many animals that can walk in the Black Marsh Forest, but there are quite a few strange animals in the Black Marsh Forest."

"With the sound of flying wings, this animal should not be walking on the ground."

"quack……"

Just as Ying Luo finished speaking, the cry was already approaching. Ying Luo and Tao Yilan looked in the direction of the sound; there was nothing but leaves.

"rustle……"

The leaves made a loud noise.

"Could it be a medicinal corpse? There are also medicinal corpses in the Black Marsh Forest?"

Tao Yilan muttered, looking vigilantly at the direction where the leaves sounded.

"Scratch..."

The sound of leaves rang out again fiercely.

Before the sound fell, a terrifying big bird suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

The wings of this big bird are more than one meter wide. The whole body of the big bird is hairless, and its skin is similar to that of a bat. It has two big eyes the size of eggs. The eyes emit a terrifying light. The beak is long and long. Two protruding fangs, full of sharp teeth, and sharp claws, from the neck to the back, are spikes of various colors.

It made a high-pitched scream, circled around, and then rushed towards Tao Yilan.

Tao Yilan dodged sideways, drew out her sword and was about to fight back.

The strange bird screamed again, grabbed Tao Yilan's horse's head with its sharp claws, and flew away quickly.

Tao Yilan's horse let out a miserable scream in pain, Tao Yilan was about to tighten the rein, but the horse struggled to break free from the rein and ran forward.

Tao Yilan was pulled forward a few steps, and there was a swamp in front of her, so she let go of the rein helplessly, and the horse galloped forward.

"咴咴..."

The horse didn't run very far, let out a few wailing sounds, and sank into the swamp.

The strange bird circled back and flew back, landed on the horse's back, bit the horse's neck, then stuck its beak into the small hole, and began to greedily suck the horse's blood.

Tao Yilan was stunned by this terrifying situation, standing there at a loss...

Ying Luo picked up a few small tree roots. He wanted to shoot out one of the strange bird's eyes, but he saw the strange bird's back was facing Ying Luo's, so he couldn't do anything for a while.

Animals are different from humans. Ying Luo hasn't learned the location of animals' acupoints yet. Ying Luo dare not shoot the branch. He is worried that if the branch hurts the strange bird, the strange bird will definitely give up the horse and attack them.

Surrounded by swamps, it is not easy for them to jump up. If they are poisoned by the miasma, the loss outweighs the gain.

The horse has been howling and struggling, and the swamp has been bubbling, and the strange bird seems not to be afraid of the miasma of the swamp, greedily sucking the blood of the horse.

After a while, the horse wailed a few times and sank into the swamp.

The strange bird flew away from the horse's back, it spun in a circle, screamed strangely and rushed towards Tao Yilan.

Ying Luo seized the opportunity and shot the branch at the strange bird's eyes.

The strange bird shook its body and stretched its neck.

"quack……"

A few branches stuck into the neck of the strange bird. The skin of the strange bird was extremely tough. It wailed a few times, changed its direction and rushed towards Ying Luo.

Because the surrounding area is a swamp and miasma, it is inconvenient to dodge.

Seeing that the strange bird's sharp claws were about to catch Ying Luo, Ying Luo suddenly thrust out a sword, and the point of the sword hit the strange bird's chest.

"quack……"

The strange bird let out a few screams, turned around and fled away. It may know that it has encountered an opponent...

"Before the miasma spreads over, let's go quickly."

Ying Luo glanced at the empty swamp where the horses sank, and knew the severity of the miasma, so he told Tao Yilan to leave quickly.

"What the hell is this?"

Tao Yilan looked at the strange bird flying away, still in shock.

"This is the swamp vampire." Ying Luo glanced at the direction in which the vampire was escaping.

"What is a swamp vampire?"

"This kind of swamp vampire likes to attack small animals, especially those trapped in swamps. The animals caught by it will end up terrible. It will first bite a small mouth on the neck or head of the prey, and then use this small mouth to kill It sucked all the blood from its body."

"Blood-sucking? It's scary to feed on the blood of animals and carrion." Tao Yilan said in horror.

"Well, if it doesn't come across live animals, it will also eat the rotting carcasses of animals that have been trapped in the swamp. So its teeth are poisonous."

"This vampire is terrifying, it looks really scary."

"Let's go quickly, it will call a companion later, then we will be in trouble."

After Ying Luo finished speaking, he immediately drove his horse forward on a safe zone.

"Hey, just pity my horse."

Tao Yilan forgot the swamp where the horse got stuck, and shed tears of sadness...
