After leading his men around the mouth of the river, Lin Xiao finally decided to place his new home on the beach about a mile past the north bank of the river, facing the blackwater swamp on the south bank of the river.

According to the map shared by the Artifact Platform, there is a large mermaid city in the sea about 40 kilometers further east from the mouth of this big river, which is also the core area where the mermaid empire rules the nearby sea area.

Needless to say, the Blackwater Swamp contains frogmen, snakemen, and fishmen, as well as a large number of swamp creatures, including ferocious predators like dire crocodiles, dragons, and snakes mixed together. He would not dare to set up his home in it.

.

Compared with the previous mission, the Blackwater Swamp was much more complicated. Even though there were more cannon fodder available now, he did not dare to act rashly. He just asked the murloc slaves he brought to cut down trees and carry stones to build nests first, while he took them with him.

Dozens of Nagas went out for a walk.

He first went to the alluvial island at the mouth of the river. Good guy, as soon as he got close to that area, he saw a fat and strong bluetip shark charging towards him with its mouth wide open.

This guy was very fat, and his whole body was chubby, but when he opened his mouth and swung his body and rushed towards him, for some reason it reminded Lin Xiao of a certain emoticon picture, and he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

But if he is happy, he will not show mercy.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of Nagas swarmed up and stabbed him to death. Naturally, the body was eaten as their snacks on the spot.

When they left, they left only a pile of uneaten remains, which attracted a large group of small fish to compete for the remains.

Next, they circled around these alluvial islands and encountered no less than thirty battles. There were more predators in this sea area than expected.

Fortunately, their current strength is quite strong. Their level two and three levels are considered to be mid-to-upper-level combat capabilities in the shallow sea area. If there are dozens of them walking together, generally not many sea beasts near the shallow sea can defeat them.

Bypass the alluvial island and go south along the junction of the blackwater swamp and the sea. This blackwater swamp is right on the seaside, with no separation line from the sea. You can enter the swamp directly from the sea.

Of course, although there is no dividing line between the Blackwater Swamp and the sea, there is a clear dividing line. That is, the water in the Blackwater Swamp is extremely black. When you see the clearly separated black and white colors at the junction of the two, you know that this is

The junction of the two.

He did not enter the Blackwater Swamp, but continued southward along the junction of black and white. He swam for almost a day and estimated that he swam sixty or seventy kilometers before he saw the end of the Blackwater Swamp.

"This swamp is a bit big!"

He remembered that the terrain of the Blackwater Swamp marked on the map was a rectangle, with the width on the sea side and the length on the land side. Judging from the topographic map, the length was about twice or three times the width, which meant that the black water swamp was a rectangle.

The water swamp is sixty to seventy kilometers wide and nearly two hundred kilometers long. It is the largest swamp in this plane and occupies a considerable area even on the mainland.

We had reached the end of the swamp, and Lin Xiao didn't go any further. He was about to turn around when he suddenly saw a large group of kobolds emerging from the edge of the seaside swamp not far away.

It's not surprising that there are kobolds in this plane, but this group of kobolds is very disciplined and equipped with small shield weapons. This is obviously not a native of this plane, but a student.

He immediately became interested, turned around and swam over.

When he swam ashore from the sea, the kobolds on the deserted slopes of the sea also discovered him. After observing for a while, the kobold phalanx separated, and a group of fully armed kobolds surrounded an exceptionally tall kobold and walked over.

He waved in common language from afar:

"Which classmate is it?"

Lin Xiao also replied in common language:

"Class three a year, Lin Xiao!"

The person on the other side was obviously stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on the dog's face, and said:

"I am Meng Hui!"

Lin Xiao was not surprised, because when he saw this heavily armed kobold, he had some suspicions in his mind. After all, there were only one or two kobolds in the school who chose kobolds as the initial family members and developed to this point, and classmate Meng Hui was one of them.

"Is your mission also here?"

"Yes, you too?"

"Yes, I have two missions both in this Blackwater Swamp."

"That's a coincidence."

"yes."

The two of them spoke in a flat tone and said meaningless words. During the chat, Meng Hui couldn't help but glance at Naga behind him. He stopped talking and looked like he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.

After chatting for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Is your race a Naga?"

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head:

"It's not Naga, it's a new race I created myself that looks like Naga."

Meng Hui's eyes immediately widened, with uncontrollable surprise on his face:

"A new race of your own creation?"

"Yes, it is still an intermediate species."

"That......."

"Yes, I have gathered the Creation Priesthood in advance, and I can get it only when I become a demigod."

Meng Hui:..........

The shock and envy on his face were almost beyond words, and it took him a long while to squeeze out two words:

"Congratulations!"

"Hey, good luck."

.........

I can't talk anymore today.

After a few words, Meng Hui found an excuse and ran away. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would reveal his unbearable envy, jealousy and hatred.

Watching him leave, Lin Xiao just smiled.

Although they have been in the same class for a year, they have barely spoken to each other for a whole year. Meng Hui, who was in the top five in the class, looked down on him before, but now that he has greater strength and potential, he almost needs to look up to him.

He quickly forgot about the incident, since their tasks did not conflict with each other anyway.

Return from the original path and return to the mouth of the Blackwater River. When you are about to cross the river valley, you suddenly see a small group of frogmen hunting another large group of fishmen at the junction of the swamp and the sea.

Obviously there are fewer murlocs than the murlocs, but they are overwhelming the murlocs.

A frogman, also called a bogman, is a humanoid creature that looks like a frog or a toad, with a fat body, webbed hands and feet, big eyes and an extremely wide mouth, and a long flexible tongue.

Like the green snake, it can stick out its tongue and stick to the target.

Frogmen like to make their homes by large rivers or swamps. They build small villages and breeding pools on river banks or swamp floating islands to lay their eggs, which are tadpoles. They will not go ashore until the tadpoles grow to about one meter in length with arms and legs.

Young frogmen must successfully kill a prey before being accepted by the clan. Those who fail will be exiled and not recognized by the clan.

It should be their coming-of-age rite for this group of young frogmen to kill this group of fishmen.

Lin Xiao did not interfere with their coming-of-age ceremony, but just observed their fighting methods from outside, so that he could study the frogmen's abilities so that they would be better able to deal with them when the time comes.
