Ten days later.
In the blue and flawless sky, a fireball-like sun hung.
Today's clouds seem to be burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace. There is no cloud or a little wind in the sky.
With a scorching sun on his head, Lei Zhentian rode on the back of the giant-blade-toothed tiger two meters high, and his mouth twitched slightly, "This CAO-being ghost weather!"
Seeing Lao Lei's frown, he could guess that the journey for the past ten days was not actually going well, and it had even been shaken. Lao Lei's determination to continue chasing the tribe's migration team.
Just in the morning, among the team of twenty-two people, due to the worsening injuries in recent days, one more person was missing, leaving only twenty-one.
This is the fourth person who died of wound infection in ten days.
During the fight with the Sabertoothed Tiger ten days ago, everyone was more or less injured, including Lei Zhentian. The injury to his left arm was a three-pointer.
But it seemed that he was the only one who was safe and sound, and the wound healed was amazingly fast. In just ten days, blood scabs formed and fell off by themselves. Except for a piece of red on his arms, there was no trace left.
On the other hand, others were seriously injured and seriously injured. Due to the lack of water for several days, they looked half dead.
Bellinger and Jacks were in a better condition, but Jekyll's leg was pierced by a broken spear, which was very severely infected. If it weren't for Jekyll's strong physique and tough physical fitness, he would probably have been unable to hold on.
Along the way, the female saber-toothed tiger dragged Jekyll and did not dare to disobey Lei Zhentian's intentions at all. But even so, in Lei Zhentian's eyes, even if Jekyll could survive in the end, his leg would be considered useless.
"Even if Jekyll is really disabled, you can't leave him alone. Even if it's just for the friendship he grew up with and 'Apache'." Lei Zhentian showed his concern and jumped directly from the back of the giant-blade-toothed tiger.
This is the fifth time in a day, he took the initiative to check Jekyll's situation.
Jekyll's body was fixed on the back of the saber-toothed tiger, and he himself was still closed with his eyes tightly and unconscious.
"Shui...shui..." Hearing the words that were slightly revealed by Jekyll's mouth, Lei Zhentian raised his head and his eyes swept across the listless people one by one. Many people's lips were dry and cracked due to dehydration, and slight blood marks were oozing.
Even the female saber-toothed tiger opened her mouth wide and gasped heavily.
Among the group, only Lei Zhentian and the Giant Blade Toothed Tiger were in a slightly better condition. It seemed that they were the only ones, and they were not affected by the hot weather and lack of water.
"What, don't care. Jacks, come here!" Lei Zhentian called out someone's name. He stared at the mysterious area shrouded in the distance, revealing two decisive eyes, as if he had just made some major decision.
Hearing Lei Zhentian's call, Jacks, a young tribe, hurried to Lei Zhentian's side, showed a questioning look on his face, staring at Old Lei without blinking.
"Jacks, tell me the story of that mysterious swamp." Staring at the southeast direction not far away, Lei Zhentian's eyes narrowed into a thin slit.
Hearing Lei Zhentian's question, the clever and clever Jacks seemed to realize something. He took a breath and responded with a daze, "You, are you going to cross the wetland swamp?"
Lei Zhentian ignored Jacks's surprised expression. He just opened his lips lightly and said slowly, "Since there is water source in the wetland swamp, and he can directly cross the wasteland and successfully rush in front of the migration team, what reason do we have not to go directly on this road?"
Jacks, a tribal young man who was two or three years older than Lei Zhentian, was completely shocked by Lao Lei's sudden response, so that he felt like he was under an electric shock, and his spirit was in a half-infatuated state.
"Walk through, cross the dragon's bone burial place...wet, wetland swamp?"
It seemed as if the four words "wetland swamp" contained infinite horror. Even if the name "wetland swamp" was mentioned, Jacks would feel a little frightened. His hair stood up coldly like a demon, and his mind was blank like a piece of white paper.
It was not until a long time passed in a daze that Jacks continued with trepidation, "From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to travel through the wetland swamps alive. Legend has it that it is the birthplace of the dragon and the burial place. Countless undead and monsters guarding it there."
"From a long time ago, from the mouths of generations of tribal elders, I kept reminding my tribe members not to try to step into the wetland swamp."
"The dragon's resting place cannot be invaded by any creature. Otherwise, it will be subject to the most terrible curse! Eternal life... I cannot live, and I cannot die!"
Perhaps Lei Zhentian cannot. From Jacks's simple words, he can understand the horror of the wetland swamp and what position the so-called dragon, a real mythical creature, possesses in the eyes of the barbarians.
But from the eyes and ears and words over the past few days, Lei Zhentian had a rough idea in his mind. Compared with the legendary dragon of the barbarians, this kind of giant dragon in the form of a four-legged lizard. Not to mention a pile of weathered bones, there is nothing to be afraid of.
As for the wetland swamp, Lei Zhentian didn't take any undead or monsters seriously. He didn't believe that there were any undead in this world. Even if there were some strange monsters, they would still bleed and die if they were given a knife.
With the giant-blade-toed tiger, a saber-toed tiger, and the Spartan War Blade, Lei Zhentian really wanted to try out this wetland swamp, is it really as terrifying as the legendary one?
"Everyone prepare and take out the self-defense weapon. We must deviate from the original detour route and cross the wetland swamp!"
The sound of Lei Zhentian, heard in the ears of others, was as loud and terrifying as the horn of the judgment of the doomsday.
When most people heard Lei Zhentian's order to cross the wetland swamp, they were confused and fearful, just like a wounded person who would instinctively tremble when a finger approached his wound.
When they found that everyone was red and green, they looked ugly, and the ten days of arrogance, Lei Zhentian felt angry, "We are all people who survived the disaster, and they have all experienced great winds and waves. Don't be afraid of death, are you still afraid of this wetland swamp?"
"If we don't do what I said, we will fall down one after another. If you are willing to obey my leader, now take up your own weapons and enter the wetland swamp with me. Even if there are necromancers and monsters, we will fight a way out!"
