Chapter 163: Daze Searching for Demons (Part 1)
Everglades.
The Everglades Zone of the Glorious Continent is located in the central and western regions, and is vast and boundless for thousands of miles. It is the birthplace of major rivers such as the Nucang River, and is home to countless creatures.
For most people on the mainland, the Everglades area is a forbidden area for non-existent people to enter.
Leon once again stood on the edge of this restricted area, standing on the hills and looking at the big lake.
The morning mist had just dissipated, and the cool morning breeze blew over the water. The continuous long waterweeds made a brushing sound. Several unknown water birds flew up, and the Great Everglades area was quiet and peaceful.
But Leon knew very well that behind this tranquility and tranquility, there were countless dangers.
"Sir, are you really going to find the Naga tribe? If they are not good for you, it will be too dangerous!" The hippo warrior Tien Pi tried to make the final dissuasion.
Leon crossed half of the territory to the Great Everglades area adjacent to Thrall to find the Naga tribe, and his ultimate goal was to get the Purple Soul Crystal.
This mysterious and unique magic crystal is only produced in the Great Swamp, and the Naga tribe, as a high-level race in the Everglades area, is very likely to have purple soul crystals - this is what Hippo Shaman Ug told Leon.
For the Zi Po Crystal, Leon made a lot of preparations. He never gave up halfway through his work, so even though he knew that this trip contained great risks, he would not give up easily.
If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son?
"We are visiting as neighbors. The Naga tribe is not completely unreasonable. They shout and fight and kill as soon as they meet, right?" Leon smiled and his eyes became more and more firm: "Let's go!"
There is no ready-made road in the swamp. If you step on the seemingly green grass, it is likely to be a quagmire. Every year, many animals who accidentally enter it die without a burial place. Unless they are extremely familiar with the swamp environment, they can find a place to go.
But the speed of moving forward like that is too slow, but as a former indigenous person in the Everglades, Tien Pi naturally has his wonderful methods.
A simple two-person canoe was placed in the swamped river, and the long hull that was thick and thick easily carried two burly men, Leon and Iron.
This canoe was made temporarily last night. Iron cut off a big tree with his carry-on battle axe, cut and trimmed it, and dug out two cabins, and made two wooden paddles.
If it were an ordinary person who made such a canoe, it might take a week, but the iron sheet of the beast soul warrior was a powerful weapon, and it was not difficult for him to make a canoe, so it took him only one night to get it all done.
The hippo warrior skillfully waved the wooden pulp, and the one-timbered boat immediately slid forward lightly, alarming countless birds in the water grass by the river.
It is undoubtedly much faster and more convenient to walk on the water, but there are many aquatic monsters in the Everglades, so sailing in the river is quite dangerous.
Leon had played kayaks before, and it was no problem to play with this kind of native canoe. After a period of adaptation and familiarity, he and Iron paddled together, and their speed suddenly accelerated greatly.
As they walked upstream along the winding river, the two gradually penetrated into the swamp.
The depths of the swamp became quieter and the river water flowed quietly, and only the wood pulp made a rustling sound when it hit the water surface. The river water was quite clear and you could see several feet of water grass.
The surroundings are full of water plants and reeds, and from time to time, rivers, ponds and lakes appear. Occasionally, dense mangroves appear, and there is no smell of people.
A faint mist appeared in the swamp, and the scene further away was hazy and could not be seen clearly.
The iron sheet slowed down the boat and reached out to pick some green grass leaves with small thorns from the river bank and handed it to Leon: "Sir, this is thorn grass. Put it in your mouth and chew it to prevent the malaria of the swamp."
The miasma in the swamp is a natural barrier that blocks the invasion of outsiders. Only the residents like the hippos and Naga who have lived here for a long time are not afraid.
Leon took the thorn grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it. The taste was sweet and it looked like a vegetable salad, and the taste was actually pretty good.
Bang!
Suddenly, the one-timbered boat shook suddenly, and it seemed that something had hit under it. Leon, caught off guard, almost couldn't hold the wooden pulp.
"It's a water beast, I'll deal with it!" Tiepi said in a deep voice: "Sir, you dock the boat first!"
As he spoke, the hippo warrior quickly took off his leather armor, pulled out a short knife from his waist and bit it in his mouth. A fish overturned jumped into the river, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The originally calm river surface suddenly surged. Leon, who was leaning against the boat, found two black shadows entangled in the river, but the stirred mud quickly completely obscured the scene in the water, making him unable to see anything clearly.
The situation under the water was unknown, and Leon could only pull out the tiger saber sword and hold it in his hand, ready to go into the water to support him at any time.
As a former member of the special forces team, he is certainly not unfamiliar with underwater battles, but he must be able to compare with Iron. After all, the other party is a natural water warrior.
After only a moment, a dark red blood stream floated from the water to the surface, and Leon's heart couldn't help but sink.
Wow!
Just when Leon was worried, a splash suddenly churned on the water surface, only ten feet away from him, and his bare iron head first appeared, and his sharp short blade was still biting in his mouth.
He waved his arms and swam quickly to the canoe, suddenly jumped out of the water and landed steadily in his position. His naked upper body was covered with water droplets, and there was no sign of injury.
Leon immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This time he put the iron belt around him into the swamp to find the Naga tribe. If something happened to the iron sheet, he would not only find it difficult to explain to the Ugshaman Elder, but the trip had to be stopped.
"Let's go!" Iron hurriedly supported the wooden oars on the river bank, and suddenly pushed them hard, and the one-wood boat slid out like an arrow from the string.
The sound of water suddenly became louder. Leon looked back while paddling, and saw a river beast five or six feet long, floating on the water surface, and the water behind him appeared rapidly approaching black shadows.
These black shadows were obviously attracted by the smell of blood. They opened their mouths covered with sharp teeth and bit the body desperately. The sound of chewing one after another makes people creepy.
"That's a gray-backed helmet fish. I like to attack the canoe. Fortunately, it's not very strong, otherwise it will be troublesome to attract other water beasts around me!" Iron paddled the boat, cracked his mouth and smiled: "I stabbed it through with one knife. It wouldn't work if I used to be!"
The canoe quickly stayed away from the dangerous school of fish.
But this does not mean entering a safe area. On the contrary, as the two people continue to deepen, more and more dangers appear.
The gray-backed helmet fish came to make trouble from time to time, and even an iron-backed crocodile lurking in the mud by the river wanted to attack Leon, but they were avoided in time by the two of them.
Under the suggestion of Iron, Leon did not entangle with these swamp water beasts. After avoiding them, he quickly left. If the water beast chased him to death, he would teach him a severe lesson.
In this case, the standard heavy crossbow placed in the ring of the space played a huge role. Those chasing water beasts usually give up after being hurt and even kill other water beasts because of injuries.
In the space ring, Leon stored hundreds of crossbow arrows, and there was no need to worry about it.
The sky gradually began to darken, and the two of them walked in the swamp for almost a day, but according to Iron, they were still not far from the center of the swamp.
It was once the origin of the hippo tribe, and it is said that there is a huge temple standing in it, but it is all memories of the distant past history.
The river channel became very narrow, and the decaying trees blocked the way, making it very difficult for the canoe to move. Seeing that the sun was almost disappearing under the horizon, Iron decided to abandon the ship and land nearby to camp.
Of course, Leon had no objection. The two towed the canoe to the shore and put it in. Iron quickly found a small wood nearby.
This forest is actually composed of a huge red banyan tree. The huge canopy covers hundreds of feet of space. Its vine roots hang down and form a new trunk. The descendants are completely reunited families.
The swamp at night is ten times more dangerous than during the day. There are no caves in the forest to hide. The tangled and intertwined branches of the red banyan are relatively safest camping sites.
Although the iron body was strong and fat, he was not vague when climbing the tree. He grabbed a thick wooden vine and stepped on the trunk, and climbed up the tall branch.
"Sir, this place is pretty good, come up too!"
Leon nodded and reached out to grab a wooden vine.
Just as he was about to climb up, a sudden change occurred!
call out!
A black fleshy tentacle suddenly jumped up from the ground full of fallen leaves, wrapped around Leon's ankle with lightning speed, and pulled it backwards with a sudden pull.
The lurker's attack came without warning. With Leon's keen perception, he did not notice it in advance. He was caught off guard and was pulled down from the vine.
However, Leon's reaction was also very fast. He took out the Lei Yan sword from the space ring with his left hand. He swung it out completely based on his feelings, and hit the tentacle that was wrapped around his ankle!
Hiss!
An extremely unpleasant scream suddenly sounded, and the tentacle was cut into two pieces by the sword. The other end of the wound was sprayed with disgusting dark green mucus, which quickly shrank back.
Leon kicked away the remaining tentacles wrapped around his ankle and jumped up from the ground immediately.
He immediately saw a huge black object rushing high in the mud that was only a dozen steps away from him.
Mud splattered everywhere, and five or six tentacles flew towards him at the same time!
