Xi Fu has many shortcomings, but in all fairness, he is not a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not spend his family wealth after his companion disappeared, and hired people again and again to come to the place of death.
Butler Mason is different from Elisten and Idriya, he is just an ordinary old man. Perhaps Seaver knew in his heart that the possibility of the old man surviving this encounter was almost zero, but he couldn't convince himself to back down at the last moment.
Now that he has come here, no matter what, he has to see the result with his own eyes. Qin Lun's few understatement persuasion only accelerated his decision-making speed.
After the group left, the almost rare open space in the depths of the swamp became calm again. Not long after they left, a slender figure appeared like a water mirror, and gradually condensed into shape.
"Oops, they actually headed towards the center of the swamp." Linda, the registrar of the Mercenary Union, suddenly appeared on the spot.
At this time, the little girl no longer wore the big rustic black-rimmed glasses and the dress, but changed into an adventurer's costume, and her smooth blond hair was tied into a ponytail, dangling behind her head.
"What should we do? If you follow up, the teacher will find out, and you will have to copy books in Candlekeep for many years." Linda didn't carry a weapon, and her expression looked a little depressed.
"Forget it, it's rare to come out for a trip. The opportunity to take risks doesn't come every year. Besides, it's not time to return to Candlekeep!" Soon the little girl stuck out her tongue, showing that the weasel had stolen the little hen. Snicker happily. Knowing that the teacher was not by his side, he still shrank his head, tiptoed around and looked around, and his figure slowly disappeared into the air.
After the little girl Linda disappeared, the swamp was not peaceful for a long time, and a small black figure appeared out of thin air, as if he had never left.
The whole body of this black figure was wrapped in a black cloak, and only a pair of shining eyes were exposed on the face covered by the black cloth. It just seems that he is not young anymore, with vertical lines on his forehead and deep grooves.
"Interesting, the strength of this group of people is a little bit more than expected, and there is actually a dragon vein protecting them!" He raised his hand and stroked the stubble under the veil, looking at the sea of fire that was still extinguished on the water, a gleam flashed in his eyes , "It seems that the bounty from the Amberley Church is not easy to get!"
Sombra's voice was a little hoarse, if it wasn't intentional, then his throat should have been injured. Judging from his appearance, he turned out to be the killer of the Amberley Church who met Qin Lun at the mercenary union.
Obviously, he didn't think that Qin Lun was not suspected as he said at the beginning, but followed them all the time, observing them.
When he arrived at the Dragon Fly Nest, Rand showed his signature lava skill, which made him really sure that there was indeed a bounty in this team who attacked the Church of Umberley.
Qin Lun's induction along the way was not wrong, but it was hard for anyone to imagine that there would be so many tails behind the team. Except for Mustasia who deliberately revealed her breath, the latter two were much more careful.
Even at the outskirts of the Land of the Dead, Qin Lun and the thief Lago could only faintly perceive it. When the team entered the depths of the swamp, they would not notice the two behind them even more.
The assassins of the Amberley Church quickly followed, but they acted more cautiously. After all, this is already the center of the swamp of death, even if he followed the crowd for cheap, he had to be careful of the hidden dangers around.
After the assassin left, the place returned to calm again, but unconsciously, the fog on the water became much thicker. The mist seemed to have its own consciousness, like a thick quilt pressing down heavily on the sea of fire above the water.
The sea of fire seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and it jumped up suddenly, dispelling a small part of the mist, but soon lost strength, and was pushed back to the surface of the water by the tumbling mist. Finally, with a "poof", all the fire sources were extinguished at the same time.
After the mist suppressed the sea of flames, it merged into the lake, and a huge fuzzy human face slowly appeared on the surface of the water.
The human face was expressionless, and he slowly opened his mouth to inhale, and the water flow engulfed the water bound spirits gathered around and rushed towards the human face's mouth. Dozens of water-bound spirits were swallowed by it, and disappeared without a trace under the water. The other water binding spirits fled in panic, far away from the range of the human face.
After swallowing dozens of water-bound spirits, the human face seemed to be content, hiccupped anthropomorphically, spit out a large number of blisters, and slowly disappeared into the water. The strangeness of the land of death is obviously far beyond everyone's imagination, and the powerful with strong self-confidence can easily ignore certain truths.
If the Land of the Dead is really only a little dangerous, just some legendary creatures entrenched here, then why has only the legendary pirate Bord'an crossed here through the ages.
Of course, Qin Lun and the others didn't know that the swamp they slept in last night would be so terrifying. Even if they understood now, they probably wouldn't be able to care about it, because they had already encountered another threat.
"Run, let's go to the back!" Rick dragged Winnie away, looking back from time to time, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
"Leader, let me go, let's help him get rid of that monster!" Winnie struggled and shouted, with tears in her eyes.
"You are a mage, you can only get the most out of it by keeping a distance!" Hill in front turned around and smiled, "He's fine now, it's not too late for you to thank him later."
The time went back to a minute ago, and everyone who left the campsite was a little absent-minded because they were thinking about the next adventure. But when they passed by a small lake again, the accident happened with lightning speed.
A nimble and slender long rope shot through the mist from underwater, and the target was the female mage Winnie walking in the middle of the team.
Facing the sudden attack, Winnie's reaction was limited to raising her staff and putting a magic shield on herself, and her slender waist was tightly bound by the long rope. Immediately afterwards, the body rose into the air and fell towards the lake. This time, her companions at the front and rear had no time to hold her, and could only watch her fly away.
Fortunately, Wei Ni was surrounded by Hill and Qin Lun. The minds of the two murderers are more pure, and they don't have as many associations with the upcoming adventure in the center of the swamp like the others.
It was Hill's first shot since he was promoted to the second level. A purple-black light shot out from his hand like a laser, penetrated through layers of water, and hit the monster hidden under the water.
At the same time that Hill hit the monster, a dull strange cry came from everyone's ears. Even across the lake, the sound was still loud and grand, as if someone had rang a bronze bell in my ear.
Under the pain of the underwater monster, the long rope-like object was released at the right time, and with a "swish", it retracted underwater.
At this time, Qin Lun just arrived, hovering in the air, and before he could land, he took Winnie's arm and threw her to Rick by the water.
Even if the two killer demons didn't have any communication, the cooperation was still seamless, as if they had arranged all this before they made a move. Only in this way, Qin Lun himself would be in danger. The pain-eating monster roared again, and the long rope-like object burst out like a spear, trying to pierce Qin Lun directly.
However, the monster's movements were too loud, Qin Lun used the stepping of the pentagram crystal mirror to avoid the attack in a dangerous place and returned to the shore.
This monster is obviously the overlord of this area, suffered a big loss, of course he refused to give up, the agile long rope-like object has been attacking Qin Lun like a whip, thus forming the current situation.
At this time, Lago and Mustasia, who were exploring the way ahead, also ran over, and their faces changed drastically when they saw this scene.
"What is this? Some kind of big snake?" Sifford let go now, and turned to ask the highland elf curiously.
"No, I'll talk about it later!" After seeing the long rope attacking Qin Lun clearly, Mastacia's face changed drastically, and she shouted at Qin Lun in front, "Run, don't get entangled with it, by the way , don't attack..."
Qin Lun dodged the flexible long rope in embarrassment. Relying on his excellent eyesight, he had already seen clearly that this thing was not a snake, but a red strip of flesh. Looking at the raised buds on it, and the forked tops, it kind of looks like some kind of... tongue!
When Mustasia shouted, he was being driven into a rage by this tongue, his eyes flashed fiercely, and the longbow of the World Tree that he was holding tightly in his hand trembled suddenly, turning into "Frost Chasing the Wind", fiercely Chop the meat with one knife.
To his surprise, with the sharpness of the legendary weapon, he was unable to cut this fleshy cord. Under the blood splatter, the meat rope just broke a big hole.
However, "Frost Chasing the Wind" is a legendary weapon after all, it's not just as simple as being sharp. The Great Frost Spirit in the sword erupted violently. Wherever the blade touched, the fleshy rope was covered with a layer of pure white ice crystals, and it was shattered under Qin Lun's brute force. The fleshy rope was obviously less took a chunk.
"Woo..." the monster at the bottom whimpered, and pulled back the rope like lightning.
"What?" At this moment, Qin Lun finally had time to respond to Mustaxia.
"Don't attack its... tongue!" Mustasia's face collapsed visibly, with a weeping expression on her oil-painted face, "Also... run!"
After the highland elf finished speaking, his ass seemed to be on fire, he turned around and ran towards the depths of the swamp.
"Ah?" Everyone was taken aback, of course they knew that this monster was not easy to mess with, but the monster was in the water, and they were on the shore!
"Boom!" As if responding to everyone's confusion, the lake that shot out its long tongue suddenly exploded.
The water of the lake poured down like a torrential rain, and a huge black shadow appeared above everyone's heads. The behemoth at the bottom of the water jumped into the air all of a sudden, and fell towards everyone like Mount Tai.
"The amphibious savage bully will come ashore!" the highland elf screamed strangely without looking back, and ran more cheerfully.
