Chapter 17 God of the Dark Swamp, Kurasis 1
The reason why the dark marsh is called the dark marsh is worth it is that the wetland area stretching for hundreds of miles behind the lake, which accounts for nearly one-third of the area. It is the most primitive paradise of life. Various forms of creatures live and reproduce here, forming a unique ecosystem.
The circular area covering the thirteen-link lake and the bottomless dark is the center of the whole wetland system. At this time, the target of Yuchen is the only large lake connected to the bottomless swamp in the thirteen-link lake, called Meuse Linderman.
It's just that the dark marsh terrain is complex, and because there has been no sunshine for many years, it is difficult to distinguish the scenery. The damage on Yuchen's body has not healed, and it is even more impossible to directly open a hole in the top of his head to determine the direction.
So at this time, Yuchen ran around in the dense forest like a headless fly, but in view of the further moving forward, the geological structure became looser, and the gradual emergence of wet meadow structure pave also proved that there was no error in the general direction.
"I just don't know why Vastort needs me to follow him to Mewlingman. He always feels like something will come out." Yuchen said to himself while avoiding the wet depression. For the purpose of this activity, Vastod just told him to explore the swamp environment and promised to surprise himself. As for the rest, it was vague and full of words. Yuchen secretly had an idea that Wastold regarded him as himself. Is the senior threed?
Originally, he did not want to participate, but the other party repeatedly invited him and set a rich reward. Vastod promised that as long as this matter was done, he was willing to let Yuchen's truth enter the dark swamp to set up an exploration department to study the dark swamp ecological environment. Every year, 40% of the funds allocated from the college would also be allocated to Yuchen for operation.
Such conditions can be said to be extremely rich. On the one hand, it was due to Wastort's identity, and Yuchen followed with a try.
At the beginning, in order to explore the terrain and to leave a way out for himself, Yuchen chose to act separately from Vastord, but at the beginning, he chose the wrong direction, which is not to blame Yuchen. According to normal people's thinking, in such a dark marsh, where there is no road to speak, the direction led by the locals must be straight. In the direction of the goal, he didn't expect that Vastord would take him to the opposite direction.
Yuchen thought about it later and found that he was wrong. He could only blame him for not listening to the other party. If he guessed that he was right, he wanted to follow the waterway, so that he could avoid many beast areas and save trouble.
He has carefully studied the topographic map of the dark marsh and understands the complexity and changeable terrain here. The only thing that can clearly indicate the direction is the river.
The river is the guiding light of the dark swamp. In this dark swamp, you can only follow the river to identify the direction.
This is also the reason why Yuchen understood that he was going in the opposite direction when he entered the dirty river at the beginning.
It's just that you can't look along the dirty river. The dirty river is the only river that runs north-south, and it is doomed not to reach the thirteen-mile lake area along that river.
While groping forward, Yuchen illuminated the road ahead with a torch made with great effort, driving away the curious beasts. As mentioned before, because the beasts in the dark marsh have been in a dark environment for many years, most of the visual systems are degraded and extremely ** to strong light. Too strong light will destroy them, which are originally fragile. Weak visual nerves.
Along the way, because there was still some food left, the food problem was finally solved. As for the water source, this is not a problem in the dark swamp.
After walking for about a day, he suddenly heard a violent explosion in the distance. Yuchen only felt that the ground trembled and knew that something had happened. He subconsciously thought that he might have something to do with Vastord and rushed in the direction of the source of the explosion.
When he marched to this place, the ground was wet and slippery. Most of it was made of ground mixed with moist soil in the meadow. In fact, it was all water. If you don't pay attention, you will step on it and sink down. The torch in his hand slid into the lake under the meadow with him when he stepped on it for the first time. Some natural traps can be said to have caused enough trouble for Yuchen and greatly slowed down his progress.
So when Yuchen dragged his tired body to the scene of the incident, he only saw the scorched and rotten bones on the ground and a huge deep pit, remaining on the ground.
Yuchen was surprised that he was still stepping on the meadow. Although the geology was much more solid than before, the water body several meters deep under the meadow was not non-existent. The deep pit was more like being separated by an invisible barrier.
The smell of rotten smell on it made Yuchen deterred. He had no interest in going down to investigate and looked at the charred black corpses piled up below, most of which were the corpses of aquatic animals.
It was not done by Vastord. Vastord's protection of this dark swamp is not a posture, so there are only two points now, whether all this is a natural phenomenon or some unknown force.
At first, from the perspective of the emitted gas, Yuchen thought it was an underground sediment explosion, but when he looked closer, he finally changed his mind.
Because there was something indiscriminately called.
In the big pit that should have been empty, large pieces of the ground lifted up. Several people were thick. Yuchen carefully distinguished it and was surprised to find that it was actually the limbs of some kind of creature. To put it as an image, it was the thick octopus tentacles of several people. He pulled it down on his head. The breathtaking pressure alone could be known. How powerful this pumping force is.
A turn over, Yuchen retreated, and the blow fell, but directly bombarded the huge meadow stepped on by Yuchen's feet.
Yuchen saw something wrong and jumped up. Many aquatic giant trees may be interspersed in the meadow, green into the clouds. Yuchen also got a place to settle down and avoid being directly bombarded.
Stepping on the hilt of the dead breathing and clutching the rough bark, Yuchen stared at the huge tentacle and was surprised.
"So that's it. The reason why the water body is blocked is that the whole area was blocked by him. I didn't expect it to be so big. Is this his tentacles?" Just looking at it, I probably guessed the identity of the other party. The huge monster is basically the same as Kuraka, the dark marsh king described by Vastord.
Disguise yourself as a trap, lure animals to step on their feet, and then tear up the prey with thick and powerful tentacles...
"Is it just that these two words should be changed, because." Without finishing his words, Yuchen jumped up and saw a shadow sweeping by, and the huge wood that had just stepped on was swept away.
The chain reaction brought by the fall of the giant tree in the sky is amazing, but at this moment, a large tree crown was pulled apart with the fall of the giant tree, and the molted limbs and remnants, mixed with rotten bark and small insects, fell from the sky, as if it had rain.
The sky was torn open, and a beam of sunlight shines directly through the zenith. In front of Yuchen, it was a huge flesh-colored tentacle, covered with uneven sarcomas. The appearance was hateful. In some places, there were even sharp meat thorns looking at the cyan light on the meat thorns, which was obviously extremely sharp.
It's just this tentacle, which is more than ten meters long and more than two meters wide, constantly creeping and standing at the top, as if searching for the trace of Yuchen.
"This monster's sense of touch is at the tip, so it's easy to do." Seeing the strange behavior of the monster, Yuchen analyzed that Kuraka's tactile system should focus on the tip of the tentacle, and the important organs of many animals are on the powerful weapons they rely on, which is also a kind of camouflage and protection. Obviously, Kuraka is no exception.
Yuchen also didn't care that there were still some wounds on his body that had not healed, and injected evil energy into his limbs to make his body function reach its peak. Looking at the soft synapses at the tip of the tentacle, the only seemingly soft place in the whole tentacle, Yuchen was more convinced that it was the fate of the monster.
What Yuchen cares about is that the tentacles that just fell and the tentacles that smashed the giant wood are obviously from two different directions, but now, only this tentacle protrude out of the deep pit and swings left and right.
"There is only one chance. There are two tentacles. This meat touch is a sensory system. From its strange behavior just now, there should be another tentacle, the tentacle that breaks the giant wood."
When the tip of the tentacle explored Yuchen's place for the first time, Yuchen decided not to wait any longer. He jumped up and cut off the trunk of the stopped tree with a backhand sword, emitting a mass of evil.
It's just that this evil spirit is slightly different. It hits the trunk of the tree, but it spreads radially in the surrounding area, and its power is flat.
And Yuchen took the breath of death as a springboard and jumped up again and again.
The attack of seduction of the enemy was effective, and then, following the penetrating light, Yuchen clearly saw a bunch of distortions and swept over the tree trunk that exploded with power.
It is not the so-called power distortion space, but a real physical attack. A large tree trunk was lifted off, and following the direction of wood chips, Yuchen finally saw the distorted real face.
A completely transparent tentacle finally appeared in the sun, like a flowing tentacle, hanging in the air, with a sharp diamond at the top, like a sharp razor, which makes people chill.
"I don't want to be swept away by this thing." Yuchen laughed easily. Now that he knows the opponent's attack method, he can know that it can't pose any threat to himself with a little judgment. Thinking of this, he is much more relaxed.
The attack just now did not cut off the tree. Under the action of the huge wound, the giant wood fell in the direction of the monster.
And Yuchen, holding the breath of death in one hand, hung on the side of the falling giant wood, waiting for the opportunity to go.
