The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 307 Rachel Swamp
Alma said that they all have levels above 30, which is actually not accurate enough, because the standard of converting more than 30 levels into Eastern China is around the fifth-rank human level, but they obviously cannot beat the monks of the fifth-level human level.

The self-level system is confusing, far less clear than monks. This is also due to the low development of magic technology. Perhaps the ancient elves had a more accurate measurement method, but now it is mainly experience and eyesight that determine the judgment of adventurers. , and the rest is to look at the information left by the ancient elves as a reference.

However, these problems can be ignored for the time being. The real headache for everyone in the Four Dharma Kings' team is the undead creatures.

Even for weak undead creatures like skeletons and zombies, once they reach a large scale, they cannot be dealt with by individuals, and they also need to dispatch troops to settle them.

If an army composed of the dead appeared in Eastern China, monks all over the world would fry their pots, and they would definitely look for evil cultivators hiding and doing things all over the place with red eyes.

That's right, in Eastern China, as long as there is a mess happening, the evil cultivator must be the No. 1 choice.

And in the west, it is not particularly unusual for an army composed of undead creatures to appear.

There is an ancient battlefield not far from Mystra's hometown in the Misty Forest, and there used to be an orc city nearby.After the orcs went berserk collectively more than ten years ago, all the city-states sent troops to encircle and suppress the area. Dead bodies can be said to be everywhere, and no one cares about them.

Furthermore, because of the topography, it is particularly easy to accumulate negative energy, that is, ghost energy. Once the negative energy explodes, the corpses will get up and attack the surrounding towns.

The appearance of undead creatures this time is indeed a bit strange, but why do you care about the reason? The biggest problem is that the appearance of undead creatures just blocked their way forward.

According to the original plan, the next stop after Trill Town was Locke Town, but Locke Town had been occupied by undead creatures, so they had to change their route.

There are only two paths that can be chosen now, one is to climb over the Viper Mountain on the left and the Pillar Plain on the other side of the mountain, and then bypass or cross Yuanxing Lake to arrive at Noisy Water City.

But choosing this path will waste a lot of time climbing mountains and ridges, and there is no shelter at the Pillar Plain, who knows if they will run into the army of undead creatures wandering around.

According to Ryan, the headless knight appeared among the undead creatures. Even if it was just a rumor, no one dared to joke about their own lives. The headless knight could kill their entire team flawlessly.

Therefore, for the sake of safety and speed, there is only one road to choose, and that is to turn east from Trill Town and cross a place called Rachel Swamp.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

If you are going forward in the swamp, you don't need or use a carriage.

Several people in the team first went to Cui Er Town as originally planned, rested there for one night, and then sold the carriage and headed east.

Because of the threat of undead creatures in Cui Er Town, a large number of residents were preparing to evacuate, so the carriage brought by the Four Kings' team was easy to sell, and the price was not even depreciated much.

Early the next morning, they left Trill Town and officially stepped into the Rachel Swamp.

This swamp is not too big, if you walk on foot, even if the swamp road is difficult, you can get out in two or three days.

However, the danger in the swamp is not the same as that of advancing on the commercial road before.

Here, all compasses will fail, and the surrounding area is always filled with thick water vapor. If you are more than 20 meters away, you can’t see the distant scenery clearly. There is even methane that smells like rotten eggs. The so-called will-o'-the-wisp phenomenon is seen everywhere.

The problem of direction is handed over to Mistro to solve, his prophecy spell is most suitable to be used at this time, and other problems can only be solved by the word ninja.

Lin Tianci felt that this was a bit like when he was looking for Lei Jianyu in the southwest mountains, but the water system in the southwest mountains was more developed than here, and it was more like a wetland than a swamp.

But the more disgusting part of a swamp than a wetland is that the latter has a lot of water, while the former has a lot of mud...

Less than three hours after entering the swamp, Lin Tianci's feet were covered with a thick layer of mud, and the cloak on his body was also stained with mud spots.

Even though he doesn't think he has any cleanliness fetishes, it's really hard to be happy in this environment. If the trees are not too short and most of them are bushes, he even plans to jump on the trees and walk.

For others, it's the bugs that are more intolerable than the mud.

Spiders and centipedes are everywhere. Sometimes you just step into a mud pit, and there will be red nematodes on your feet that are constantly wriggling. You want to wash it with the water on the side, but you find leeches with finger lengths inside... …

Lin Tianci doesn’t need to worry about this. He is carrying the rucksack that once lived in the flying bear. As long as he stands on the ground, the surrounding insects will evacuate frantically as if fleeing. No matter how far he runs, it is better than any insect repellent. .

——Getting some Flying Bear's fur must be raised on the agenda.

Kegel cut in two a large beetle the size of a volleyball that was trying to nibble on his toe, complaining:

"When will I get out of this ghost place?"

"You have already complained about No. 14 times, can the best fighter of the Stonefist dwarves not be able to stand even this little difficulty?"

As usual, Mistrow yelled at Kegel, and of course the latter would not listen honestly:

"No problem for you tree monkeys, of course."

It's a must for these two people to be in the mood to quarrel.

Alma and Redicia didn't even bother to open their mouths to speak, because there were too many bugs around, and they had to be careful not to let poisonous bugs crawl on themselves.

Lin Tianci took a water-cleaning gourd and took a sip of the wine he bought from Cuier Town, feeling suddenly missing the baijiu from his hometown.

At this time, Kegel split the bushes in front of him with an axe, but he didn't know whether he hit the trunk or he used too much force. The 'tree wall' that blocked the view was split by him, from left to Right down.

Immediately, everyone saw that behind the tree wall, there were six upright lizard-like creatures standing there, with two tied ones kneeling among them, and behind them was a river of unknown depth.

This is a lizard man, which can be simply understood as a human-shaped lizard, a permanent resident of the swamp, and also an intelligent creature.

But they don't behave well towards other intelligent creatures, most often doing things like raiding caravans, killing people and stealing goods.

It can be said that the two parties were taken aback when they met, and no one thought that they would not find each other just across the distance of a bush.

"Warm-blooded... hiss! Kill, kill them!"

Lizard people have a snake-like hiss when they speak, but it's not because they have this kind of oral habit, but because the lizard-like mouth leaks air when speaking...

Now is not the time to popularize small knowledge like science, because the lizardmen have already rushed forward.

There are six of them in total, and their weapons are simple sticks or spears, some wear a rough leather armor, and some don't wear anything at all.

"There's something to make me happy in this damn swamp!"

When Kegel saw it, he immediately stepped forward with his short legs, and rushed forward with an accelerated charge holding an ax and a shield.Aim at a lizardman stabbing with a spear, and the shield slaps.

A shield strengthened by magic is much stronger than a rough spear, and Kegel's strength is not small, and the spear was broken into two pieces like a biscuit stick.

The lizardman holding the spear felt numb in his hand, and before he could back off, Kegel followed closely and struck the lizard's stomach with an axe.

Lin Tianci followed closely behind Kegel, and Erma and Mistrow, two pure spell-casting characters, threw innocuous assistance like magic missiles, because in their opinion, it was impossible to solve these lizardmen. It's not troublesome, and it's best to reserve the magic power to deal with other more dangerous emergencies.

It's the same reason that Leticia didn't charge forward with a double-headed mace-like staff as usual. She stayed where she was to prevent other dangers from ambush in the vegetation on both sides.

Of the six lizardmen, there were only five remaining when they met each other. They knew that Kegel was difficult to deal with, so three of them went towards him, and the other two met Lin Tianci.

"Palm Thunder!"

There was still a distance of two or three meters before contact, and Lin Tianci suddenly made an attack, and a bright thunder light lit up in the palm of his hand.

With such a short distance and the lightning speed, one of the lizardmen had no chance to react, and was bounced away by the lightning, rolled several times and fell into the river behind.

In fact, the most suitable starting hand in this situation is the blasting talisman, but in order to save the cinnabar that cannot be replenished, Lin Tianci decided to use the talisman as little as possible to fight during western activities, so he used the palm thunder.

The other lizard man saw the miserable situation of his companion, instead of retreating despite the difficulties, he rushed up at a faster speed, and raised the wooden stick in his hand to hit him.

Good power, but too blunt.

It was nonsense to hit Lin Tianci with such a crude attack. He made a mistake with his foot, and changed his forward posture into a horizontal jump to the left, just passing the wooden stick.

And it's not just the lizardman's attack that's passed.

A string of magic missiles was like hitting the time lag. As soon as Lin Tianci got out of the way, he attacked the lizardman's chest. After a series of crackling sounds, its chest was as hollow as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer, and it fell into the water as well. .

Lin Tianci, who had just completed a double kill, dodged to the left not only for cooperation, it happened to be the site where Kegel was fighting with the other three lizardmen, Lin Tianci dodged to the left, and flew up and kicked one of them A lizard man.

Of course, Kegel would not let go of this good opportunity. He let go of the bat, raised the axe, and directly removed half of the lizard man's arm.

The remaining two lizard men who were dealing with Kegel saw it, and quickly made a feint, turned around and dragged their companions into the river behind them.Three of them were killed in just one encounter, and one was half-mutilated. They were not stupid, and they knew they were invincible, so they had to run away quickly.

The lizardman has the natural ability to breathe underwater, and even if the members of the Four Dharma Kings' team have the ability to breathe underwater, they will not rush into the water. Who knows what's in the water, it's too dangerous.
