Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 550 Swamp City

Li Yuanhong didn't know that he was about to collide with a lizard man, but Li Yuanhong did not relax his vigilance because of this. Looking for some trampling marks in the grass, Li Yuanhong quietly walked deeper into the dense forest.

Perhaps these lizardmen had stayed in the dense forest for too long, so they no longer covered up the paths they usually took. Over time, the trampled vegetation actually formed a path. This made it easier for Li Yuanhong to follow. Along this path, Li Yuanhong didn't go out for an hour before he saw the second group of patrol soldiers. However, this group of patrol soldiers was no longer lizard men, but a group of wolf-headed men.

Fortunately, the guards were scouting the road ahead and discovered this group of wolf-headed men patrolling in the forest in advance. Otherwise, if Li Yuanhong advanced rashly, he would definitely encounter this group of wolf-headed men.

There are only ten warriors in the wolf-headed team. If a battle breaks out, Li Yuanhong is confident that he can eliminate them, but that will also expose himself. This time, he is mainly looking for the pyramid, and Li Yuanhong does not want to create additional branches.

Lurking in the trees in the distance, waiting for the group of wolf-headed men to pass by, Li Yuanhong led the group forward. In front of the group was a swamp with puddles all over it, and it was muddy and difficult to walk on. More importantly, just now, Stepping into the mud, Li Yuanhong jumped out. Looking at his feet, he saw seven or eight mutant leeches lying on them. If Li Yuanhong hadn't been wearing dragon-scale black armor, these mutant leeches would have given him half of his blood in an instant. Blot dry.

How to get through this swamp? How about we follow the patrol route of the wolf-headed men! the guard suggested.

No, if we take the route of the wolf-headed men, I'm afraid we will encounter them soon, and our whereabouts will be exposed. If we go here, we can not only cover our whereabouts, but also take a shortcut. Li Yuanhong said.

But how do we get out of this swamp? the guard said scratching his head. You must know that the biggest risk in this swamp is not the mutant beasts, but the quagmire. From the outside, it may just be a piece of wet land. Once you step on it, , then it becomes a cannibal trap. And this trap is everywhere, even half a foot away from the front and back.

Of course, the mutant beasts hidden in the mire are also deadly killers. The blood-sucking leeches are just a side dish, and there are many creatures that can directly cause death hidden in the mire.

Li Yuanhong said confidently: I am prepared!

With that said, he took out a dozen special ships from the space. The bows of these boats are high and tilted, much like the heads of sleds. The sterns are straight and wide, and the hulls are also very wide. The whole boat is like an enlarged version of a sled.

What kind of ship is this? The guard asked, seeing that the ship was very special.

This is called a swamp boat. I gave it the name. The bottom of the boat has a large stress area. If you are on it, you don't have to worry about falling into the swamp due to gravity. The bow of the boat is curved, so the resistance to forward progress will be reduced. I refer to this as a reference to fishermen fishing on the seaside. The beach boat made by Mudskipper is not bad! Li Yuanhong showed off to himself.

Haha, I didn't expect Brother Li to have a talent for design. The guard said with a smile.

In fact, this was not designed by Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong threw the problem to Dr. Bai and the others. They quickly found inspiration on some traditional offshore mudskipper fishing boats. The place where mudskippers live is the beach wetland. The environment there is similar to that of swamps, with patches of mud. It is difficult for people to walk on it. It is almost impossible to catch mudskippers there only by manpower. Therefore, offshore fishermen invented This kind of ship. This kind of boat has no power and requires manpower to step on the mire to push the boat forward. But the one Li Yuanhong took out has a mechanical water treading device at the stern of the boat, so there is no need for people to put their feet in the mire and take risks.

With the boat in hand, everyone got on board one after another. The boat slid freely in the mire, and soon the whole team disappeared into the mire.

Not long after Li Yuanhong left, the lizard man team arrived at the edge of the swamp. The leading lizard man team leader kept sticking out his tongue at the edge of the quagmire.

Yes, there is that smell here too! the lizard man team leader said, looking into the depths of the quagmire.

Let me just say, this smell must be that of some kind of mutated beast, otherwise something would dare to go into the swamp. You know, even our bravest lizard warriors can't guarantee that they can come out of this swamp safely and alive. Unless it's a nine-headed dragon beast. the vice-captain said.

Maybe! The team leader looked deeply suspicious and glanced into the depths of the swamp. He was not sure whether the unfamiliar smell belonged to the mutant beast.

Li Yuanhong once got rid of his pursuers. In fact, neither side knew the other's existence. This can only be said that the goddess of fate favored Li Yuanhong this time. You must know that Li Yuanhong has always been carrying several accessories to increase luck. Although these magic equipment have not reached the divine level, in Li Yuanhong's view, the value of these accessories is no less than that of artifacts.

Li Yuanhong and others crossed the swamp. It can be said that they crossed it smoothly. This was due to the swamp boat. This kind of boat not only allowed everyone to travel through the swamp quickly, but also basically did not disturb the swamp due to its sliding. The mutated beast inside is completely unconscious. Therefore, everyone reached the center of the swamp safely without disturbing the mutant beasts.

However, just when Li Yuanhong was about to continue crossing the swamp, a city appeared in the center of the swamp. The tall walls, numerous arrow towers, and soldiers patrolling the city walls all declared that this was a heavily defended city.

As soon as Li Yuanhong bowed his hand, everyone stopped moving forward. The guard slowly slid the swamp boat and came to Li Yuanhong: Brother Li, are we there?

Li Yuanhong took a look at the city wall. The entire city wall almost surrounded the entire city. What was inside the city could not be seen at all. Moreover, the city walls were also weird green, and he did not know what material they were made of.

It's not sure yet. Take your people and go to the other side of the city wall to investigate. Remember, only investigate, not fight. Protect yourself!

Understood! the guard agreed, leading a few people and quietly starting to circle to the other side of the city.

Li Yuanhong was not idle either. He used the Eye of Truth to investigate the city's defense situation and guards.

The entire city wall is built on the edge of the swamp. The distance between the swamp and the city wall is no more than five meters. In other words, this swamp has become a natural barrier for the city. Anyone who wants to attack the city, the swamp is An insurmountable death trap.

I wonder if the terrain on the other side of the city is also like this! Li Yuanhong guessed.

Li Yuanhong turned his attention to the defensive forces on the city. The wolf-headed soldiers holding chain hammers were constantly patrolling the city walls, and there were lizardmen in the arrow towers. But what worried Li Yuanhong Yes, there are flying troops on the city wall. These big flying bugs look like large versions of dragonflies, but these things are faster than dragonflies, and judging from their mouthparts, they are obviously aggressive. Most of these big flying dragonflies are green, and a few are golden-red. You can tell at a glance that those golden-red ones are the heads.

With the air force, it's not easy! Li Yuanhong sighed in his heart, knowing that if he was discovered by those big flying dragonflies in this quagmire, he would only get beaten.

Fortunately, Li Yuanhong was far away from the city, and this was not the focus of defense on the city wall, so Li Yuanhong's whereabouts had not been discovered.

More than an hour later, the guard came back, and Li Yuanhong asked quietly: How is the investigation over there?

Brother Li, there is also a swamp on the other side of the city, and it is very close to the Amazon River. It is estimated that this swamp is caused by the flooding of the Amazon River. The guard also replied quietly.

Then how was this city built? Weren't they afraid that the river would overflow and drown them?

I have observed that although most of the city is surrounded by swamps, there is land at the main entrance of the city. The terrain there is higher than other places, so that should be the only way to the city, and I also I saw a lot of wolf-headed men up there, driving some mutant beasts to transport supplies.

Oh? Can you tell what they are transporting? Li Yuanhong asked.

You can't tell, those supplies are covered with something, the guard said.

It seems that it's not easy to sneak into the city! Li Yuanhong sighed.

Sneaking into the city is not impossible, the guard said.

What, do you have a way? Li Yuanhong looked at the guard in confusion. The other party was heavily guarded. How could he sneak in easily?

That's right. On the other side of the city, I saw a large drainage pipe. I thought that was the city's sewage outlet. If a person could get into that pipe, it would be no problem at all.

It seems that the people in this city are very confident in their defense, leaving us such a big back door. Li Yuanhong said.

It's not that they are confident, I think it's that they are too proud, thinking that this swamp can block all attacks, so they placed the drainage outlet on the side of the swamp. The guard analyzed.

Okay, take me to see the drainage outlet. Li Yuanhong said.

Okay, follow me! The guard led the way, and Li Yuanhong followed behind. Although there were few obstacles in the swamp, Li Yuanhong had to avoid the detection of the swamp city, so he could only walk for more than half an hour. It took more than half an hour for Li Yuanhong to arrive near the drainage outlet.

The drainage outlet was made of stone. The opening was not big, only about one person wide. Even a slightly fatter person would not be able to get in. The sewer is constantly flowing out waste water, and the stench can be smelled from a long distance away. Of course, the people in this swamp are not much better.

That's where it is? Li Yuanhong asked.

Yes, that's right there. I just don't know what's in the sewer. the guard replied.

Okay, I'll sneak in and check it out at night while you're here guarding.

Brother Li, it's better for me to go. I have stealth skills and can sneak in easily.

There's no need to argue. Those wolf-headed men are still lizard men. Their sense of smell is better than their eyes. Your invisibility may not be effective on them. Li Yuanhong shook his head and rejected the guard's suggestion. After all, he has many escape skills. It really happened. Surprisingly, Li Yuanhong was still able to escape.
