Chapter 144: Wet Swamp
Of course, this is just the worst possibility. Unless they are too lucky, they just happen to meet Hydra, otherwise they don’t have to worry too much. After all, they are just two people, too small, and it’s just a little bit for Hydra. They really don’t even have enough to squeeze the teeth. They probably don’t feel like swallowing them in one bite.
Next, Chen Ya told Ye Qing some things to pay attention to, as well as the general situation she knew, including what she knew about the core of the copy, which made him know.
Then, they began to act.
Although there was enough time and a whole month, there was no task for them to do and they could act at will, but the area of this dungeon was too large, and Chen Ya didn't guarantee that she could arrive on time.
The most important thing is that the route they opened before has been around for a long time, and she doesn’t know whether it is safe or not. If it is not safe, it will take time to find a way again.
Ye Qing did not summon the Grizzly King. According to Chen Ya, most of the world is swamped and the ground is very soft. The Grizzly King is too big and heavy, and the movements are too loud when walking, which can easily attract the attention of local monsters. The other is that it is easy to fall into the soft ground.
Therefore, they will not summon it when they can deal with it normally, and will only summon it to respond when encountering powerful enemies.
According to Chen Ya, the place where they appeared was an abandoned village on the edge of the swamp, which means that this copy was survived by humans, but they just didn't know where it was.
But this is of no use to them, and they can't ask anyone for help.
This village is on the edge of the swamp, and further forward is the swamp. When you walk out of the teleportation site and you can see the swamp directly.
Looking from the edge of the village, you can see a large plain composed of black thirsty ponds and mud. It is humid and hot all year round. It is extremely unsuitable for living. When the wind blows, a fishy smell comes from the mud, which is disgusting. Ye Qing suspects that the village is abandoned, probably because the villagers can't stand the odor.
In this swamp composed of countless shallow mud ponds, only those creatures who like moisture will settle down here. Countless stagnant mud ponds, the waterways of black and thirsty algae and the slippery mud roads between make the swamp a nightmare for non-local creatures.
Here, the largest number of them are of course local fish that grow in swamp mud ponds.
Although the water here is so smelly, there are actually many creatures inside. In addition to fish, there are many dangerous creatures, such as crocodiles lurking in mud water. Crocodile with rough skin and the surrounding environment is a lurking master. It can stay motionless for several hours. If a young animal passes by, it will quickly rise up and drag its prey into the water.
In addition, the most are poisonous snakes here. There are many more poisonous snakes than crocodiles. Whether in mud ponds or in the grass in mud roads, sometimes low trees growing on the roadside may be entangled.
In addition to these dangerous creatures, there are more insects, mosquitoes, flies, blood-sucking insects, etc., and you can see insects flying around everywhere with the naked eye.
To be honest, if it were not necessary, Ye Qing would never have thought that entering the swamp was dangerous. In addition, this annoying environment is a great test for people's psychology.
The most frustrating thing was that he didn't prepare insect-proof props. Seeing Chen Ya wearing a pair of white gloves and a veil covering her head, he looked at her with a sad face.
Seeing his expression of indifference on his face, Chen Ya covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, and took out another set and handed it to him:
"I knew you wouldn't be prepared, take it, the bugs here are very powerful. If you are starved and bleeding, it will easily attract attacks from swamp creatures."
"Teacher, you are so nice!"
Ye Qing immediately took the gauze with a smile, put on gloves first, and then wrapped the shoes and trousers tightly to prevent insects from crawling in from the side of the shoes.
The edge of his shoes is not high, and the surface is soft. If he accidentally sank, bugs will crawl in. If he uses this to tie it tightly, there is no need to be afraid.
Of course, this veil is not covered with a piece of gauze, but is made into a head cover like a head cover, and is close to the neck to prevent insects from rushing in.
As for the stench in the swamp, there is nothing we can do. You can’t wear a gas mask, that’s too exaggerated.
After getting ready, the two stood on the edge of the swamp, looked at each other, gritted their teeth and walked in.
Of course, Chen Ya was the one who led the way. She was much stronger than him, and the reaction was the same, making it easier to find enemies lurking beside her.
When he stepped on the mud road, Ye Qing immediately felt that his feet were very soft, and his feet were sinking as if he was stepping on a carpet, which made people feel uneasy.
The mud road is not wide, about two meters long, and there is only a small amount of unknown brown grass on it. Most of it is soft mud road. On both sides of the road are mud ponds with dark green unknown water baths. The water in the pond is also gray-brown and very turbid. From time to time, a large bubble emerges from it, and a large number of mosquitoes hover on the surface of the mud pond.
Not long after they entered the swamp, the mosquitoes on the mud pond seemed to smell the breath of them and immediately rushed towards them. The two were immediately surrounded by a large number of insects.
Fortunately, Shen Ya was well prepared, and these bugs couldn't do anything to them.
But bugs are just small problems, and the big problem is the ubiquitous poisonous snakes and the like in the swamp.
These poisonous snakes are everywhere, especially when they enter the swamp for hundreds of meters. After the grass on the ground begins to increase, they begin to encounter various snake attacks.
At this point, the ground was covered with a layer of grass, and dense grass covered the ground, making it impossible for them to see whether the underground was a dirt road or a mud pond.
Because these grasses can not only grow on the ground, but also extend into the mud pond water. If you don’t pay attention to stepping on them and sinking into the mud pond, it will be difficult to climb up.
Fortunately, Shen Ya is quite familiar with this. She probably has experience before and knows where to go, and never encounters dangers along the way.
“This place is on the edge of the swamp, there is no danger.”
Chen Ya cut a poisonous snake popping out of a small tree on the side of the road into two pieces with one sword, and said to Ye Qing.
The poisonous snake was cut into two pieces and was not dead yet. She wanted to jump up, but Chen Ya stepped directly into the mud.
She was right, there was no danger here. Although the insects were very tactful and poisonous snakes jumped out from time to time, this was indeed not dangerous. It was just ordinary poisonous snakes, not even monsters. Like ordinary snakes in reality, they could cut into two halves with one sword, and as long as they were not bitten, there would be no problem.
Besides, even if he bites it, it's nothing. With his current vitality, how can a vicious snake do anything to him? He can't kill him even if he bites it.
After walking for almost three hours, they turned around on the muddy road of the swamp and came to a large raised ground in the swamp.
The ground that is rare in this swamp is very large, with an estimated diameter of 700 to 800 meters. It is surrounded by mud ponds, like an island in the sea.
Chen Ya pointed to this swamp island and said to him:
"This is a boundary on the edge of the swamp. You can see the swamp fishman further inside."
"Can this swamp survive fishmen?"
Ye Qing is quite strange.
Fishmen usually live in the sea or by the river, which is also a kind of smart creature. Although their IQ is not high, they have their own civilization after all, and this kind of creature is generally quite high in the living environment.
It is also strange that fish can survive even in such a harsh environment of the swamp.
Chen Ya's face did not change, and she said:
"It's not surprising. When you enter the swamp, the environment will be much better, and it has been occupied by the fishman."
...
Ye Qing shrugged and didn't care. He knew the combat power of the fishman. He had a lot of numbers but low combat power. The one he was most afraid of was such an opponent.
Soon the two of them arrived on this big island. When Ye Qing climbed to the center of the island and looked around, he immediately saw what Chen Ya mentioned about the swamp fishman.
On the other side of the island, opposite to them, there are a pool connected to each other. It is as Chen Ya said that the environment is better. The water of these ponds is quite deep and the water quality is much clearer. Somewhere in this pool connected to each other, there is a strange building. On the side of the building, there is a large group of strange creatures swimming back and forth.
The gray scaled fishman is a unique fishman in the swamp. It is a common template. Its combat effectiveness on the ground is similar to that of an adult, and its combat effectiveness in the water will increase to a certain extent.
And that building is similar to the administrative center of the fishman, which is a building that gathers the spiritual beliefs of this small fishman tribe.
That's right, this large group of fishmen belongs to a small tribe, and fishmen all exist in tribal form. The so-called fishmen king is just the leader of the largest tribe and does not have a higher social form like humans.
The small tribe did not put it in their hearts, but they had to deal with this fishman tribe, because the road they went deep into the swamp was next to the fishman tribe.
If you want to pass by, you must pass by the Fishman Tribe.
Neither of them took this little fishman tribe seriously. Chen Ya was powerful enough to ignore the fishman tribe, while Ye Qing relied on her talent to ignore the fishman attack.
The attack power of these fishmen is not very high, and the maximum attack power will not exceed forty, and many of them are not enough for thirty. This is impossible for him to do anything. If he had the original intention, he could destroy the fishmen tribe alone.
The two of them rested on this small island for a while. Before leaving, Ye Qing cut down a tree several meters long with his arm, cut off the branches and carried them on his shoulders.
This swamp is too dangerous. He is planning to use this stick to explore the way or as a bridge. If the middle road is broken, you can use this force to cross the swamp pond.
