My Magic Age

We traveled nearly 100 kilometers along the hilly land on the edge of the Piatila Mountains and passed through the edge of the Savage Swamp. Some lizard tribes along the way have been reduced to ruins, and most of the lizards have migrated to the depths of the Savage Swamp.

We passed the ruins of a lizard tribe and found that many lizards in this tribe like to build thatched huts under palm trees. This kind of thatched hut is made of a kind of dry lemongrass, so the whole thatched house exudes a faint vanilla smell. This vanilla smell not only has a calming effect, but also can dispel some poisonous insects in the jungle.

There are almost no living lizards in the edge of the swamp, because in the eyes of the lizard warriors, when some small tribes perish, the biggest property they can get is these lizard captives. After the war between the lizard tribes is completely defeated by one side, those lizard captives will become enslaved in the winning tribe.

There are many threats in the Savage Swamp, and you will die here if you are not careful.

For example, the hunters in the lizard tribe have light green stripes on their bodies. These hunters hide in the jungle and are difficult to be found. They hunt in the swamp with superb archery skills. Whether it is the magic beasts in the wild swamp or the adventure group of the Green Empire, they are all targets in their eyes.

There are also some magic beasts that survive in such poor mountains and bad waters, which also pose a great threat to adventure groups like ours. In the Piatila Mountain area on the edge of the wild swamp alone, we encountered poisonous wind snakes with the strength of the initial stage of the third level. It is said that there are more mid-level magic beasts hidden in the depths of the swamp.

As a guide who often lives in the wild swamp, Nathaniel remembers hundreds of dangerous areas in his heart. In addition to some large lizard tribes, these dangerous places also have the territories of some group magic beasts. These magic beasts are often extremely difficult to deal with, and the magic materials on them have no practical value. Groups of low-level magic beasts occupy large areas of land on the edge of the wild swamp. Few adventure groups are willing to provoke these group magic beasts.

In addition, the wild swamp is full of dangerous places, and once you enter it by mistake, it will endanger your life.

If there is no experienced guide in the adventure group, it is extremely dangerous to venture into the wild swamp.

…

A team of lizard hunters passed through the bushes a hundred meters away. They had green skin with light spots, and only wore a simple leather skirt around their waists. They carried a hunting short bow on their backs, and their golden eyes exuded a cold light.

More than a hundred orc warriors hid in the mud behind the wild grass, quietly waiting for the group of lizard warriors to pass by. The team of lizard hunters did not find the orc warriors lurking in the grass, and the two sides passed each other dangerously.

When the group of lizard hunters slowly disappeared in the dense forest, the tauren Luka climbed out of the mud and water, sat in a dry place in the wild grass, took out a dagger and cut off a blood-sucking leech attached to his chest.

Justus poked his head out from the side of the tauren Luka, squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where the lizard hunters disappeared, and licked his lips.

It seemed that the killing of the slave traders three days ago had caused some subtle changes in his heart. The nature of the siren was like a bud growing in his heart. He looked at the enemy with eyes that seemed to be thirsty for the taste of blood.

Walking through the wild swamp, the rainforest scenery actually did not bring us any novelty. We were still curious about this rainforest swamp in the first week, but now we are used to seeing lush tropical plants as soon as we open our eyes and touching huge banana leaves with our hands. The monotonous rainforest scenery here makes me feel a little boring.

Although I have the insect repellent ointment provided by the Yelo natives, there are still some insects flying around in front of me every day. The minotaur is full of blood and some flying insects like to fly around him. He shakes his head and keeps driving away mosquitoes, with a trace of restlessness on his face.

The swamp is like a huge quagmire. We often walk and our bodies are completely swallowed by the quagmire. Sometimes our whole legs will step into the rotten mud, or be tightly entangled by the roots of some plants. Many plants here have the instinct to hunt. After they entangle the prey, the roots will pull the prey and drag it into the underground mud.

Fortunately, we have no problem with logistics. We don’t have to hunt wild beasts in the swamp rainforest every day to improve our meals. We can eat white bread, vegetable soup and steak almost every day.

Yingli and Su occasionally sit on the shoulders of the tauren Luka. These mages are very weak in body. Sometimes when they are tired, the kind tauren will carry them on their broad shoulders and let them rest.

Our team walked along the road that Moraya had walked before and walked into the depths of the wild swamp for another three days.

…

"Okay, everyone take a break."

I shouted.

The orcs sat down without any image. In such hot weather, they would sweat even if they hid in the shade, not to mention walking through the airtight swamp in hard leather armor. The orcs untied the water bags on their waists, drank the cold water in big gulps, and poured the remaining water on their heads.

Every time they rested, Ying Li would take out a "water gathering spell" rune board and hang it on the tree trunk. Under the operation of the magic pattern array, the clear and sweet water fell into the water collector. When these orcs had rested enough, they would line up in front of the "water gathering spell" rune board and refill their water bags with water.

I took out a dozen round green-skinned watermelons from the magic waist bag and distributed them to Nathaniel in front of his stunned eyes.

Nathaniel held a piece of sandy watermelon I handed over in both hands and couldn't help asking me: "Lord Jijia, when you are training in the wild, do you also need to store some fruits in the magic space?"

I touched my nose, and faced with Nathaniel's admiring eyes, I had to bite the bullet and said: "Well! When there is enough space in the magic bag, I like to bring a little bit of everything."

Nathaniel's smile was very forced, and his eyes were like looking at a spoiled nobleman. I think he must think that I filled my extremely precious magic waist bag with vegetables, fruits and meat that are not very useful, which is purely a waste of natural resources.

I couldn't explain to him that I actually have a half plane, so I could only pat him on the shoulder and say to him: "If you need anything, you can come to me. I am very well prepared for this adventure."

I said politely to Nathaniel that after all, he still needed to lead us to find the ancient ruins hidden in the wild swamp.

After so many days in the rain forest, I finally know why Moraya came to Qiyan City in advance. In fact, she came here to invite Nathaniel. Although Moraya had seen the ancient ruins in the rain forest, it was absolutely impossible for Moraya to find the small ancient ruins in such a large wild swamp.

Nathaniel's skin is dark, probably formed by exposure to the scorching sun. His nose is a little flat, his forehead is very full, his eyes are very bright, and his height is less than 170 cm. The southerners of the Green Empire are almost like this. Compared with the tall and strong northerners, he is a little shorter, but he is smart. He is like a living map in the wild swamp, and many things are remembered in his mind.

He is more afraid of Kalancuo. For this beast female warrior who is 190 cm tall, Nathaniel stands in front of him like a half-grown child. As long as Kalancuo glances at him casually, I can feel the muscles in Nathaniel's calves shaking. He is really scared.

Nathaniel would occasionally keep his eyes on Helena's beautiful face. Whenever this happened, he would hide in a corner or behind a tree where he should not be discovered, open his mouth, and look like he was shining. He was really a bit wretched.

Moraya sat with Teacher Heidi. Her poisonous flower vine surrounded her and kept drilling in and out of the soil. This swamp was simply the most suitable place for it to live. Teacher Heidi was covered in a black magic robe, and even her face was hidden under the hood. Although the sun was scorching, there was always some cold air around her body. After she was promoted to a second-level magician, she undoubtedly had an ice element body. The cold air on her body probably came from her.

She seemed to have been studying the magic topic of "About Ice Element Fusion" recently.

I sighed softly. Maybe she knew that Sister Guoguo's current body was an ice element spirit. Even if she restored the memory in the soul fragments in the future, the best result would be that Sister Guoguo would merge with the ice element spirit and become an ice element user in the elemental world.

Teacher Heidi wanted to transform into an ice element, probably because of Sister Guoguo.

Anne shook off the mud on her long leather boots and used her long sword to flatten a clump of grass. The flames on the long sword drove away the mosquitoes hiding in the weeds. The flames on the long sword were not the magic effects of the Storm Sword itself, but Anne condensed the fire magic elements and attached them to the long sword.

The flames had a good effect on dispelling the mosquitoes in the grass. From time to time, some flying insects turned into sparks under Anne's flame sword.

She sat with Su. The sisters always sat farthest from Teacher Heidi. Along the way, they hardly communicated with Teacher Heidi. It seemed that there was still a big gap between the two sides, and this gap could not be erased by time.

…

What the guide Nathaniel had to do every day was to climb to the top of a tree or a high hill, and use his experience to judge whether our team was walking on the same road as before.

At this time, I would also take out the magic image crystal that Morayaer gave me and compare it with the surrounding scenery.

Nathaniel stood on the top of a big banyan tree and looked into the distance, pointing to the light mist shrouding the forest of dozens of towering trees fifteen kilometers away, which was particularly conspicuous. It was drizzling in the sky, and the scenery in the rain was a little blurry.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face and said to me: "Jijia, the territory of the Muniji tribe is in front. During the heyday of this lizard tribe, there were probably tens of thousands of lizards living in the tribe. It was the largest lizard tribe in this area. Their tribal chieftain was hostile to humans. We need to bypass the edge of their territory. Their lizard hunters have a large range of activities, so we have to be careful."

I nodded and looked at the large area of ​​towering trees in the distance. I really wanted to go to this large-scale lizard tribe to take a look.

I came down from the top of the tree and came to the side of the minotaur Luka.

At this time, I saw that there were actually more than a dozen lizard war slaves gathered in front of the minotaur Luka. These lizards only had linen pieces around their waists and sat cross-legged in the swamp. They have large frames and explosive muscles. They have vertical golden eyes with no emotion in their eyes.

"Didn't we release all the lizardmen?" I pulled Luka aside and asked, "Why haven't we dealt with them yet?"

Luka said with embarrassment, "Except for some who didn't want to leave, the others have been released long ago."

I heard from Luka that some lizard slaves were unwilling to leave or regain their freedom, which I didn't expect.

"Luca, what's going on with those lizard people who don't want to leave?" I then asked Justus.

Justus walked to Luca and said to me: "There are some lizard slaves who are unwilling to leave. They think that since we killed brothers Jutas and Angus, then they are our property..."

I looked at Luca and Justus with some suspicion and asked them: "Why is this happening? You didn't take off the slave collars around their necks?"

Justus spread his hands helplessly and explained to me: "When those lizard slaves heard that I was going to help them untie their slave collars, they huddled together and shivered, as if they had a premonition that the end of the world was coming. Look, these lizard people have been slaves for too long, and they seem to regard themselves as goods. They have long forgotten the jungle life here. "

The tauren Luka asked me: "Is it possible that we still need to bring this group of lizard warriors with us? Jijia!"

I lowered my head and thought for a moment, and then said, "I want to try them. Maybe they will be helpful to our jungle life."

Justus heard what I said and immediately retorted: "Maybe they will attract some lizard warriors and cause us trouble inside and outside. In my opinion, these lizard slaves are of no use to us, so it is better to kill them all." , so things are much simpler.”

"It's better to stay for now. Maybe we will still need them. If we can't fight, send a few orc warriors to watch them." I said to Justus.

After hearing my decision, Justus said nothing more.

Our team rested in the swamp for a short while, then bypassed the Munigi tribe in front and passed through the area close to the edge of the lizard tribe's territory.

At dusk, we finally walked out of the territory of the Muniji tribe.

At this time, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and saw that there was still some time until dark, then he took us and continued walking forward.

Just when we were passing through a dense forest, we actually heard the sound of fighting in the dense forest...
