Fulilian: The Little Master Who Doesn't Understand Love

Chapter 15 Camping
If I hadn't been there, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have paid any attention to Lord.

It was because of the presence of this elf that the other party answered the question and even kindly gave a reminder before leaving.

Lord naturally understood what Celie said. After all, the other party had never taken him seriously from the beginning to now.

But he couldn't help laughing at Celie's metaphor.

"At least they acknowledge that I'm human," he counted on his fingers. "Let's have the dwarves, elves, and Skywing, and maybe a priest. After all, only they can decipher the Goddess's sacred text and use healing magic."

"Priest?" Celie suddenly stopped, a dangerous arc appearing at the corner of her mouth beneath her white veil. "Are you sure you want to bring along a guy who keeps muttering about the goddess' teachings?"

Why can the priests interpret the holy scriptures given by the goddess?
The main reason is that they are pious enough to hear the voice of God.

Only under the guidance of the gods can one learn and use the magic recorded in the scriptures.

Therefore, all clergymen are a bunch of chattering little charlatans!
"Uh," Lord imagined the scene and quickly shook his head, "Forget it then."

He took out a water bag from his backpack and handed it to Celie: "Would you like some? I added some honey to it."

This is a gift from nature on the road. A simple fire magic can get the honey intact.

Celie took the water bag, lifted her veil and took a sip: "It's a bit too sweet." Although she said this, she still took another sip before returning it to him.

"Speaking of which," Lord tightened the water bag, "is this swamp big? We can't possibly spend the night here, can we?"

Lord and his companions were trying their best to stay away from the center of the Death Swamp, but the mosquitoes around them showed no sign of decreasing. Lord couldn't imagine what kind of torture he would suffer if he camped in such an environment.

"If we speed up, we might be able to get out before dark, but that only works if your map is correct."

Given the map from a hundred years ago and the gathering of so many monsters, Lord couldn't be sure whether the terrain had changed.

So he took out the map Amuro had given him and studied it carefully. "According to the information on the map, there should be a high ground further ahead. If we can't get out today, we can camp there."

Celie took a closer look, and her golden hair outside the hood accidentally brushed against Lord's cheek. "This area may have been occupied by monsters now."

Lord nodded, thinking that what Celie said made sense.

"Then let's change to another one. How about this place? Although it's close to the center, there is a stream there, which is perfect for camping."

A hint of disgust flashed through Celie's eyes. "Is there any place where I can't see these nasty little creatures?"

Lord didn't answer, just smiled.

After all, they are in a swamp now. How could there be a place without mosquitoes?
Fortunately, he had already considered this.

Lord patted the big bag on his back and said, "Don't worry, I'll set up a small tent for you when the time comes."

"Tent?" Celie had never heard of this word.

"It's okay, you'll know soon."

The two quickened their pace. The humidity in the swamp became heavier and heavier. They encountered many monsters along the way, but Lord avoided them all using detection skills.

But because of this, their journey was delayed a lot, and it seemed that they would not be able to get out of the swamp today.

Lord was seen holding a wooden stick from time to time, and he would probe twice with every step he took, for fear of stepping into a hidden quagmire.

Of course, he also considerately avoided the puddles on the ground to avoid dirtying Celie's white robe. All of this was seen by the other party, and her eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

"Wait!" He suddenly squatted down and pointed at the ground, "Look at this footprint."

Seria bent down to examine it: "It doesn't seem like a monster, it's probably just an ordinary small animal, and it just left recently." "It seems this swamp isn't all monsters. I thought all the ordinary creatures here had been killed."

"That's impossible. Although monsters act entirely on instinct, they can't always be in a bloodthirsty and violent state. Most of the time they're in a semi-sleeping state. They only go berserk when they sense a strange aura."

After listening to Celia's explanation, Lord gained a deeper understanding of monsters.

No wonder the elves and the Skywing tribes have only now begun to put aside their disputes and join forces to encircle and suppress these monsters. It turns out there is this reason.

Because most monsters only move within a fixed territory, they do not pose a threat to them. However, the appearance of the demons, monsters with high intelligence, forces them to take them seriously.

"So it seems the demon wolf that attacked Amuro's village is a special monster?"

Celie thought about it and felt that what Lord said was not wrong. "That's true, but even among monsters, those demon wolves are considered wandering creatures. They could have emerged from any corner of the world."

"Even in this state, I'm curious why they haven't become extinct yet? Do they have some special way of reproducing?"

Judging from the group of werewolves we dealt with before, they act completely on instinct and have no rationality at all. Then how can this thing spread all over the world?
Lord was curious.

"Ordinary wolves are corrupted by the abyss and degenerate into irrational demonic wolves. Some powerful demonic wolves evolve into what you call werewolves."

"So that's it."

While chatting, the two turned around a dense bush and a small stream appeared in front of them.

I glanced at the sun. Although it would still take some time for it to set, there was no need to rush.

Celie also cast a detection spell: "There are quite a few monsters. If we light a fire, it will easily attract them."

Lord looked at the number of red dots in Celia's magic circle and said, "In that case, how about we first clear out a bunch of the monsters around here and cast a warning spell at the same time?"

"can."

Celia took a step forward. This kind of thing was naturally most suitable for her to do.

After quietly dealing with the last monster within a hundred meters, Celie looked around and returned to Lord after confirming that it was safe.

"What are you doing?"

Lord took out some things that looked like iron nails, with some thick gray cloth beside him. He was wrapping the iron nails with a rope and then nailing them to the ground.

"Set up the tent and wait a moment."

Seeing that Lord was very busy, Celie stopped disturbing him and said, "I'm going to find some firewood."

"Wait," Lord quickly took out a cloth bag from his bag, "Take this with you, and check if there are any edible mushrooms around. Swamps are great places for mushrooms."

Celie took the bag and twitched her lips. "How can I tell which mushrooms are edible?"

"You can pick anything that grows on the tree. Don't touch the colorful ones. I'll sort them out when you come back."

"You really understand all this." Celie said sincerely.

"of course!"

Lord was not polite either. After all, he had lived alone in this fantasy world for half a year, which was enough to make him an expert in wilderness survival.
