Chapter 158 Sludge Swamp

Three days after leaving Mandos City, Roger and the others arrived at Suter Harbor by the mud swamp. 【】This is one of the five major ports in the kingdom, and its prosperity is no less than that of the capital, Mandos City. The Adventurer's Union also has a branch here.

In fact, the task of exterminating the murlocs with rotten fins was issued by the Adventurer's Guild in Port Suter.After Bonnie, the leader of the team, showed the certificate of accepting the task to the trade union guy, the guy quickly found a young man named Duby as the guide for everyone.

It is said that this guy is the person who is most familiar with the mud swamp nearby, and he can walk out from the deepest part of the swamp even with his eyes closed, so he is the most suitable person to be a guide.But Roger didn't like Dolby, especially when he found that his eyes were shining as soon as he arrived at Bonnie, looking up and down the female knight greedily, Roger hated this wretched guy even more.

"This pervert, the eyeballs are about to fall out." Roger secretly slandered Dolby's anxious look, but forgot that he was also like Bonnie along the way.

"Are you all adventurers who want to exterminate the murlocs with rotten fins?" Dolby smiled obsequiously at Roger and the others, showing a mouthful of scorched die teeth: "If everyone is ready, then we can set off now. But enter After the swamp, everyone must follow me closely, otherwise I will not be responsible for any problems."

Bonnie has a competitive personality, and she very much hopes that the students she leads will be the first to complete the task, and she agrees to set off immediately into the mud swamp.Of course Roger would not object to Bonnie's decision and agreed with her decision.

As for the other students, they haven't talked to Roger and Bonnie much since they left Mandos City, as if they didn't care about this mission at all.No matter what decision Bonnie made, they just obeyed silently and did not express their opinions at all, which had been completely ignored by Roger and Bonnie.

Now that Bonnie and Roger agreed to set off immediately, the group quickly left Suter Harbor under the leadership of Dolby and entered the mud swamp southwest of the port.

The Sludge Swamp is a vast area, extending from Suter Harbor to the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Even with the best guides, it will take several days to cross the swamp.There are bottomless mires and stinky ponds full of aquatic plants and blood-sucking leeches everywhere in the swamp.What's even more frightening is that there is a layer of grass growing on the surface of these mires and ponds. If you don't step on it, you won't know what's under your feet.

If you are unfortunate enough to fall into the quagmire, there is little chance of surviving.Even if it is not swallowed by places like mires, it is easy to get lost in swamps that are similar everywhere, and eventually starve to death in this place, becoming a delicious meal for carrion insects.Because of this, it is unknown how many people who venture into the mud swamp are swallowed up and disappear in this land every year.So the Sludge Swamp has always been the most dangerous place near Suter Harbor.

And recently there is another danger in the mud swamp, that is a tribe of murlocs who migrated from nowhere.They call themselves murlocs with rotten fins, and they not only often attack pedestrians passing through the swamp, but even go to sea to attack fishing boats entering and leaving Suter Harbor.

This made the local merchants very uneasy, and then they entrusted the Adventurer's Guild to eliminate the Murloc tribe.After sacrificing several scouts, the Adventurer's Guild has determined where these murlocs settled down.The task that Roger and the others have to complete is to go to the location of the murloc tribe, destroy them all, and bring back the head of the murloc leader with red scales on its head as a proof of completing the task.

Under the leadership of Dolby, Roger and others soon entered the mud swamp.On the first day, you can vaguely see Suter Harbor on the edge of the swamp, but on the second day, you can go around, except for the stretch of green grass and the foul-smelling pond, Roger can't see anything else. up.

Duby was still leading the way, leading the crowd to avoid places like mires and ponds, and head towards the location of the Murloc tribe.Although this guy looks wretched, and he doesn't hide his look of needing to be beaten every time Bonnie is there, he is indeed a good guide.

Along the way, Dolby led the crowd around the pond to avoid the quagmire, and headed straight for the location of the murloc tribe.If he didn't lead the way, even Roger and the others might have lost their way in the swamp, let alone finding the murloc tribe.

As everyone went deeper into the heart of the swamp, the road became more and more difficult.There is less and less dry, solid ground, and more and more mires and ponds.There are many times when everyone can only walk in knee-deep water. This is the only road that can be walked. If you go to other places, you will be swallowed by the swamp soon.

On the evening of the third day, Duby said that everyone had reached the center of the swamp, and they could only camp at the same place tonight.However, even camping in the middle of the swamp is not an easy task.There is too little dry ground here, all scattered in shallow ponds, there is no place for Roger and others to rest at the same time.

Under Duke's suggestion, Roger and others divided into three groups to camp separately.Roger was with Bonnie, Duke was with another student, and the remaining students and supplies such as food occupied the largest dry land to rest.

Roger had no objection to this suggestion. In fact, he was very satisfied with it. It was much better to spend the night alone with a beautiful woman like Bonnie than to spend the night with other people.

As the sky gradually darkened, a thick fog rose from the swamp, and the surrounding scene quickly became blurred.Using the water-soaked dead trees of the swamp to light a bonfire, Roger and Bonnie built a makeshift camp on a piece of dry ground.The area of ​​this place is very small, except for a small bonfire and two tents, there is no room for other things.

Roger and Bonnie sat in front of their respective tents. After eating hard to swallow dry food, they took off their shoes and socks and rolled up their trousers, and dried their feet after soaking in the water for a day by the heat of the campfire.Naturally, the two of them did this not out of any evil intentions, but to try to keep their feet as dry as possible.If the feet are kept in a humid environment, the skin will be broken and festered within a few days. This is no joke.In this environment, if the foot is injured, it means that the mission has failed.

Although Bonnie is a knight with the strength of bronze, Roger noticed that her feet are very delicate. The tightly closed jade toes and delicate ankles, coupled with the slender and tight calves, make the female knight feel like Qualified to be a foot model.Roger was stunned by the flickering firelight.

"What are you looking at?" Realizing that Roger's gaze was not in the right place, Bonnie shrank her legs subconsciously and said, "No!"
