The magic grass swamp, which the locals call the endless abyss, is actually just a large muddy lake. The biggest feature of this muddy lake is that there is a kind of aquatic grass growing on the lake, which looks like orchid grass, lush and dense. This kind of grass floats on the surface of the lake, the roots are connected and then go deep into the silt at the bottom of the lake. From a distance, it looks like a long and lush grassland. The roots of aquatic plants near the lake are denser, and people can bear it when they step on it. live, but the roots of those grasses farther away from the lake shore can't support the weight of a person. Once a person steps into a hole, he will sink...
The muddy lake is not without buoyancy, but the lake is full of long water plant roots and deep silt. Even the swamp king crocodile dare not enter such a muddy lake, because it is easy to be entangled by the water plant roots and trapped alive die. So in the magic grass swamp, apart from insects, fish, shrimps and snake frogs, there are not even larger animals. Even the slightly larger aquatic birds dare not forage here, and they are also afraid of being entangled by the dense roots of aquatic plants and will not be able to escape...
Reddy is no stranger to this kind of magic grass swamp. In Beihai City, which was newly developed two years ago, across the Lancang River, there is a black mud swamp on the opposite bank. The family developed a small part of the black mud swamp on the Northland side into Fertile farmland has been lost, but the black mud swamp on the other side of the Lancang River is still the habitat of the ferocious and huge monster iron ridge crocodile.
Without the strength above the silver-level fighting spirit, it is impossible to cause harm to the iron-spine crocodile. This is mainly because the iron-spine crocodile has a huge body and tough skin. If the fighting spirit does not reach the silver-level, it cannot be released. do it. Because of this, the skin of the iron-backed crocodile has become the leather armor of choice for the sailors of the family's sea corps. Wearing leather armor made of crocodile skin is not only light, but also has high defense. The most important thing is that it can increase buoyancy and breathability to keep warm. So the family hunted the iron-spine crocodile in the black mud swamp on a large scale for this purpose.
In order to develop Beihai city and the black mud swamp on the territory, the family specially built two super steel crossbows to deal with the iron ridge crocodile. Lorist also took the carcass of the largest crocodile that he had hunted to Beihai City, made a specimen and placed it in the square, so that the square was named Crocodile Square. The little ones also used the stuffed iron-backed crocodile as their playground, and their favorite thing was to crawl in and out of the big open mouth...
I remember that when the family built the Baili Long Causeway along the Lancang River that connected Guishan Fortress to Beihai City, Iron Ridge Crocodile from the black mud swamp on the opposite bank came to attack the construction crowd in groups. It's a pity that they all fell under the huge crossbow bolts fired by the super steel crossbow. After the Baili Causeway was completed and named as the Xiluoba Causeway, the iron-ridged alligator on the opposite bank finally learned how to behave and stopped crossing the river to seek death.
If the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain. The guard camp guarding the Guishan Fortress was bored, so they discussed with the water military camp, and went to the shipyard to build two river boats for the Lancang River. A super steel crossbow was placed on the boat to hunt and kill the iron ridge crocodile resting on the other side of the river. After a while, there was no more iron ridge crocodile on the riverside. So the people who went hunting began to gradually penetrate into the black mud swamp on the other side, and the carcasses of ironback alligators became the meat and leather raw materials of the Norton family.
The vast black mud swamp has only been explored by the hunting team of the Norton family to less than one-third of the area. In this swamp that was explored, the hunting team found several muddy waters similar to the magic grass swamp. lake. At the beginning, the hunting team thought that there must be many iron-backed crocodiles hidden in such a dense grassland, so they simply sprinkled kerosene on the grass and burned the grass to force the iron-backed alligators to show up. Unexpectedly, after burning the water plants with a fire, they found that it was a large muddy lake. The lake was full of roots of water plants. Throwing a hook down casually could pull up as many tiny roots as hills, and even found many The undecomposed carcass of the less iron-ridged crocodile is estimated to have been trapped and died by mistake.
Reddy also occasionally went out to relax while practicing on his own in the Rock Castle. Once he was invited by Paul Binns, who led a hunting team to the Black Mire Swamp, to go with him. As a result, he fell in love with hunting ironback crocodiles, his favorite thing to do The thing is to challenge a medium-sized iron-spine crocodile alone with a single sword, and regard it as an opponent to hone his sword skills. After staying in the Black Sludge Swamp for a long time, he is naturally familiar with muddy lakes like the Magic Grass Swamp. When he found that there was such a muddy lake in the Bailu Lake swamp, he wanted to use this magic grass swamp to escape or be hunted down. Those who leave a profound lesson.
When Reddy came here the night before, he was very happy to see such a large grassland in front of him. It would be difficult to find his whereabouts after drilling in. But after taking two steps, he felt something was wrong, and quickly poked down with the long sword, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This, isn't this the grassy muddy lake over the black mud swamp? If you go a few steps forward and you have to sink, then it will really be over...
- Reddy cut down the bushes around the magic grass swamp and two crooked-neck miscellaneous trees overnight, and got some rattan to weave together with the strips cut from a tattered leather armor he was still wearing. I made a rope, tidied up the shrubs and began to lay them down to the depths of the magic grass swamp. A muddy lake like the Magic Grass Swamp is not without buoyancy. The main reason is that when people or animals fall down and struggle in panic, it is easy for the roots and stems of the aquatic plants in the lake to get entangled. The bottom of the lake.
Even Reddy was careful when laying the small rafts made of shrubs and miscellaneous trees broken into the depths of the magic grass swamp. The most important thing when falling into such a muddy lake is to keep calm and not make violent movements. So as not to be entangled with the rhizomes of aquatic plants in the lake. Float on the surface of the water first, let your hands gently grasp the aquatic plants floating on the water surface, slowly pull back, let your body slowly lean towards the shore, and be careful that your feet are entangled, so that you can hopefully get out of trouble. Of course, it is safest to have companions on shore to rescue.
It's just that Reddy is alone and helpless now, and it took a night and morning to finally make the arrangements, and then lurks in a small mud on the bank, waiting for the arrival of the pursuers. In any case, he must get some supplies from these hunted people, otherwise it will be difficult for him to survive the colder and colder weather...
The first ones to rush to the scene were the silver guards of the Fisabrun family led by Great Swordsman Sandy. Seeing Reddy's figure disappear in the lush grass, Great Swordsman Sandy glanced at the dozen or so people on the ground. The corpse of a soldier, ordered without hesitation: "Go and find him..."
"Yes!" A silver guard replied, and then rushed towards the grass with a dozen of his companions.
Great Swordsman Sandi didn't think that these silver guards would be Reddy's opponents. She only hoped that these silver guards could entangle Reddy for a while, and as long as she arrived, she could easily deal with this Norton family boy. For Reddy, Great Swordsman Sandy still has a little impression, this is the taciturn attendant next to Lorist. I remember Lorist once introduced that this is his first disciple Reddy. At that time, Great Swordsman Xiandi just thought it was funny, Lorist was so old, he actually learned to accept his apprentice like others.
That was a few years ago... At that time, the Norton family defeated the second prince's 100,000 troops and swept across the North. Great Swordsman Sandy and Princess Sylvia were trapped in the Grand Duke's mansion in Gildusk City, and they were arrested. Baron Shaheen Henned, who came to take over the Grand Duke's mansion, and his golden knight Tabek were two hostages, and they wanted to leave the Northland with this. But he never thought that Lorist would break into the Grand Duke's mansion alone, defeat Sylvia first, and then defeat Great Swordsman Sandy, forcing her to release the hostages. The ending was also considered uneventful, and in the end Lorist personally escorted them out of the Northland.
Great Swordsman Sandy always thought that Lorist's victory over him was just a coincidence plus luck, and she was a bit timid in the enemy's situation at the time, and she still had energy when she lost, while Lorist was exhausted after leaving the Grand Duke's mansion. passed out. So Great Swordsman Sandy always thought that Lorist was not her real opponent.
When returning to the family territory of the Eastern Wilderness Province, Princess Sylvia got along very happily with the new head of the Norton family. The great swordsman Sandy also took the opportunity to find out about Lorist through Princess Sylvia's mouth. A history of swordsmanship. It turned out that Earl Norton practiced the legendary oriental monk's cultivation technique, no wonder it was so weird.
However, the Great Swordsman Sandy was not optimistic about Lorist, even though Lorist pointed out the bottleneck problem in swordsmanship training she faced at that time through Princess Sylvia's mouth, which made her suddenly realize. But Great Sword Master Xiandi didn't accept this kind of favor. She thought that without Lorist's guidance, she could spend a few months finding the weaknesses and flaws in her swordsmanship. Lorist realized something only because he had a duel with her, and she thought that Lorist gained more from the duel with her than her, so he took advantage of it.
Even Great Swordsman Sandy despised Lorist for his lack of ambition. Kong has a powerful family armed but nests in the north as a coward. It's not that others want to touch him and think of counterattack, etc., but she didn't expect her adopted daughter Sylvia to have a good impression of Lorist. This is absolutely not allowed by her. She hoped that Sylvia would marry an unrivaled hero in the future. Look at Lorist, he is not outstanding in appearance, and he practiced unreliable so-called oriental monk's kung fu. Although the family background is a nobleman with hundreds of years, they have been nesting in the family territory. Compared with the Feisabrun family who supported the second prince to establish the Iberia Kingdom across the prairie, it is really weak.
What frustrates Great Swordsman Sandy is that the world is changing so fast that it is dizzying. In the blink of an eye, a year later, I heard that the Norton family sent troops to Windbury City to arrest His Majesty the King in order to avenge the second prince's act of sending the third-level swordsman Calinan to assassinate Lorist. This is simply treason. At the same time, they defeated the two frontier ranger regiments led by Viscount Christopher, making the Viscount and more than 15,000 soldiers prisoners.
Faced with such a dire situation, the Grand Duke Fessabrun had to retreat temporarily, and sent Princess Sylvia to the Norton family's territory, signing an extremely huge order for cattle and sheep in exchange for armaments, making the Viscount and the captured soldiers Gaining freedom, in exchange for the favor and indifference of the Norton family, which made the Feisabrun family dormant and worked hard for several years in order to rise...
Today's Feisabrun family has finally accumulated a strong strength. From this point of view, the great swordsman Xiandi once again despised Lorist. It is the greed of the Norton family and the pursuit of gold coins that created the current powerful Feisabrun Lun family armed, the Grand Duke relied on the cavalry standard equipment continuously sent by the Norton family to create a powerful and invincible light cavalry armed force, captured the Jinchuan area in one fell swoop, and made up for the last shortcoming of the Feisabrun family .
The Norton family never imagined how high the value of a set of standard cavalry equipment they created would rise in the grasslands. How many savage tribes would bow down in front of the horseshoes of the Grand Duke's mount because of a few sets of standard equipment... I was thinking, if the Feisabrun family has mastered the secret of making standard equipment, they will not sell these precious standard equipment for gold coins and cattle and sheep like the Norton family. This is simply an act of the enemy...
However, his beloved adopted daughter, Princess Sylvia, has taken a fancy to that Lorist. In the eyes of Great Swordsman Sandy, this is really unacceptable. But she knew her adoptive daughter's temper very well, so she didn't want to object to it openly, and secretly advised her a few times, but she couldn't restore Sylvia's heart full of love and fantasy. In the end, there was no other way, the great swordsman Sandy used his great killing skills, and asked Sylvia to retreat for several years to practice seriously, so that she could be promoted to the second gold star as soon as possible.
Perhaps the passage of time will teach Sylvia that her love affair is an illusion. But I didn't expect that four years later, Sylvia's love and love became more and more intense, and she went to the Northland alone to invite Lorist to participate in the knight tournament specially organized for her by the Grand Duke Fessabrun. Isn't this a clear way of sending sheep to the tiger's mouth? Fortunately, the Grand Duke almost had a falling out with that Lorist at the knight tourney, so he did not agree to the marriage proposal of the Norton family. But Sylvia didn't go to the meeting because of the death of the short-lived king brother, but went to the north to relax. Fortunately, I was always paying attention, so I didn't let that nasty Lorist succeed...
This time, when he heard that the closest nephew of the Grand Duke was killed by Reddy of the Norton family, Great Swordsman Sandy realized that this was a very good opportunity to sever the relationship between Sylvia and Lorist. . So she volunteered to arrest Reddy. Once Reddy died in her hands, Lorist would definitely not let it go with the Feisabrun family. If the two families became enemies, what would Sylvia do? Marry into the Norton family... The Feisabrun family is armed with strong horses and horses, and the Grand Justice is ready to integrate the forces of the Iberian Kingdom to form a self-contained body, and is not afraid to fight against the Norton family's armed forces...
"Plop" "Plop" "Plop"...
There was a series of sounds of falling into the water, screams, and cries for help. The great swordsman Sandy turned around quickly, only to see that only half of the dozen or so silver guards who rushed into the grass were still on the grass. Sinking, there are countless small black-gray, blue-white lines wrapped around the body, and there are all kinds of water plant leaves. These lines become more and more entangled, and the person sinks faster and faster. Sandy Great Swordsman Just as he was about to step forward to rescue him, he saw a nearly drowned guard grabbing the hand of the companion who was trying to pull him up. In the blink of an eye, the guard who wanted to save someone was also covered in those lines and was dragged into the water...
How long is this time! There were only three of the dozen or so silver guards left... These three were more clever, and although they kept calling for help, they didn't dare to move again. They also found that the faster they moved, the faster they sank. The Great Swordsman Xiandi was terrified, but he didn't dare to take a step closer to the muddy lake. He just ordered loudly to the soldiers who were rushing here from a distance: "Quick, go and pull them up!"
Finally, the three silver guards were rescued by dragging and pulling, and a few local hunters came to tell about the magic grass swamp. Now even the Great Swordsman Sandy was in trouble. He clearly saw Reddy rushing into the depths of the grassland, but he didn't expect that the grassland was a natural trap, and he lost a dozen of the silver guards around him at once. What if people can't get in now
"Burn, burn this grass for me, I see how the bastard can stay in it. Without the cover of these magic grasses, as long as the bastard shows his figure, we will know how he got in there , then it will be easy to catch him!" Great Swordsman Sandy said through gritted teeth.
"But, Your Excellency the Great Swordsman, this magic grass swamp is too big, we need to bring in a lot of kerosene, otherwise the grass has a lot of moisture and cannot be burned..." said a soldier dressed as a captain.
"Then go transport the kerosene! Hurry up! The rest of the people set up guard posts around the magic grass swamp, don't let that bastard run out!"
