Become a martial girl

Chapter 253 Dwarven Swamp
That night, the sky was still bright.The girl who was completely relieved of her comrades lay down in the tent safely, and fell asleep contentedly.But in her sleep, she didn't know that there were two guys facing each other outside her tent that night, guarding each other until dawn.

————————————————————————————

The one-month journey was fleeting, maybe it was because we were heading southeast. The further we went, the hotter the weather became.Not only the number of bushes increased, but also the surrounding swamps became more frequent.The muddy ground is soft and soft, and when you step on it, you can see water stains squeezed out around your feet.

"Huh... are we... finally here?"

The towering peaks of the Marilla Mountains appeared on the other side of the clouds, Edward raised his head, and while wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve, he looked at the towering peaks covered in snow.I have to say that walking in this humid and hot swamp and seeing snow-capped mountains is really a relaxing thing.

"Sister Mengdie...it's so hot...I want to eat snow..."

Nia was lying on the horse's back, her face was already red from the sun.

Mengdie's physique is "ice muscle and jade bone", and its ability to resist heat is stronger than ordinary people.But she couldn't help wiping off her sweat, and looked at the lush swamp forest below the Marali Mountains, covered with various plants five or six meters high, and said, "Hugh, the Copper Hammer City is really in that forest in?"

Xio was constantly wiping the sweat off his face with his robe.Wearing this kind of robe on such a hot day, it's no wonder that he now has an expression that is about to collapse.

"Quick... it's almost here! Those dwarves should live in that swamp! I... I'll drink the best Jumas spirits later! The spirits brewed by the dwarves... are first-class delicious After steaming and drying all kinds of water-filled fruits in the swamp, they are baked to steam out the most authentic juice, and then fermented, with the special technique of the dwarves and the pure snow on the Manali Mountains Water. Finally, sprinkle the purest dragon tree resin in it~~~~Ah~~~~ Every year...they pay tribute to the empire!"

"The resin of the dragon tree?" Hearing this word, Nia, who was lying on the horse's back and about to be dried, raised her head in a trance, and murmured, "Well... I heard from my sister that this kind of dragon tree The resin seems to be a kind of anesthetic, right? Dry the paste-like resin from the dragon tree and grind it. Although it smells very fragrant and has a bit of alcohol smell, it is generally used in medical treatment, right? As an anesthetic.”

Xio smiled and said: "Haha, that's right! Generally speaking, it is indeed the case. I still have a small packet of dragon tree powder in my arms. Ah, here, put it together with the crystal grass powder. Those dwarves The anesthetic effect of dragon resin has been known for centuries. However, they also use their own methods to extract the aroma of wine in it without making people faint when they touch it. Ah~~~ Let’s not talk, the more Speaking of that mellow taste makes me thirsty. I really want to hurry up... to reach Copperhammer City sooner~~~~!!!"

When he heard that there was such a good wine to drink, Edward's eyes lit up immediately.Immediately he jumped off his horse and rushed into the swamp where the horses could not walk.The other three also left their horses and rushed in.

A swamp is, indeed, a swamp.

As soon as he entered this tropical rainforest-like place, the humidity in the air immediately increased.All kinds of unnamed swamp plants grow towering and tall, and the criss-crossed branches and leaves intercept the fiery sun in the sky, and can only cast mottled spots of light.The ground under their feet is made of various rotting branches mixed with a lot of water.After stepping on it, the foot sank, and the squeezed water seeped into the shoe, like a sponge.

"Whoa! Bugs...bugs!"

Suddenly, Nia, who was holding Mengdie's hand, let out a scream!Pointing to a centipede-like bug on a tree over there with many legs, almost as long as Nia's arm!

Mengdie smiled and gently patted her head.Afterwards, she called the white wolf, pointed to its back, and signaled Nia to sit on it. ,

The white wolf understood Mengdie's words, and it seemed very dissatisfied with letting this kid sit on its back again.And Niya also looked at those red eyes, trembling with fear.After a lot of difficulty, Mengdie made a compromise, and after agreeing to sit on the white wolf himself, the white wolf got down on the ground and straightened his tail with a displeased face.

It has to be said that compared with the various weird and huge bugs in this swamp, the appearance of the white wolf is indeed much more formidable.Moreover, the time Nia spent with the white wolf was not too short. After thinking about it carefully, she finally nodded and got on the white wolf's back.After grabbing the white mane, she suddenly felt a very inexplicable sense of security about the huge beast under her crotch.At this moment, those bugs no longer seemed so scary to her.

"Okay! Let's go! Hugh, do you know the exact location of Copper Hammer City?" Said Dream Butterfly, who was riding on the wolf's back and holding Nia on her chest.

Xio shook his head: "Oh, the exact location... I didn't check it in detail. Maybe it will be recorded in the military data of Luwell City."

Mengdie shrugged, speechless.But it doesn't matter, where there are people living, there must be traces of life.Tracking the Black Flame Snake this time was no different than last time. For a village that had lived in the swamp for several generations, it would not be so difficult to find it.Well... First, find a river...

Mengdie raised her head and shook her ears from side to side, trying to hear if there was a river flowing nearby.But at this moment...

"Ow!"

An ominous roar suddenly broke the tranquility in the swamp!
The swamp began to stir, and the insects that had been peaceful just now retreated one after another, and some birds perched on the branches also spread their wings and flew high at this time!Just when Edward had just pulled out the obsidian sword, Xio had just raised his staff, and Mengdie had just jumped off the wolf's back and stood in front of everyone, a monster with three tails suddenly rushed out from the depths of the swamp!

This monster is covered with hard scales, has two legs, and is in a prone position.But the strange thing is that the three parts of its head, chest and abdomen add up to only a quarter of the total body length.The end of the abdomen is divided into three branches out of thin air, and the three tails are fatter and more powerful than the body, which is extremely impressive!

The monster has webbed feet, and it walks like flying in a muddy place like a swamp.But for some reason, its body was covered with blood, and its huge tail was also covered with wounds cut by sharp knives.It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and screamed when it was injured, and rushed towards Mengdie in a panic!
