The snake lizard did not select the branches and leaves where the land width is located.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes after the snake lizard disappeared that there was a slight thud in the bushes, and Lu Kuan poked his head out of the bushes.

"It's going to be two days before the snake lizards come to forage for food next time,"

Lu Kuan wiped a handful of sticky root secretions on his face, took a sip, and whispered to himself: "By then, the young leaves here will be fine...... It's time for a change of place. ”

Of course, there is no way to change it now, swallowing the swamp at night is several times more dangerous than during the day.

Lu Kuan turned his head to look, and where a few other dead trees were not far away, he could still occasionally see the huge figure of the seven-headed snake lizard, looming in the mist, and at the same time, there was also the hoarse moan unique to the snake lizard.

If it doesn't work out this time, wait until next time.

Let the wind elemental fly higher up to a place where all the birds of prey can't reach, and then lie back in the bushes, and soon the top of the dead tree is quiet again.

……

Rune's City has not been quiet for the past two days.

First, a notice was issued in the port of Riptide prohibiting the nobles of the city from trading with merchants other than the designated merchant groups, including all transactions in the port in the open and in the covert.

This order is considered to be a warning to Antlerhorn, as everyone in the circle knows that Dark Paradise is currently the largest underground trading partner of the nobles of Riptide Harbor.

This news is not surprising, with the establishment of Antlers, Dark Paradise has officially separated from the subordinate status of Riptide Harbor, and from now on it will be a competitive relationship, and it is normal for Riptide Harbor to make a little stumbling.

But the next news is confusing.

Isa City, the distant capital of the Empire, issued a proclamation, because Runetera City opened a trade route without permission, seriously disrupting the normal trade activities in the vicinity, and causing great harm to those merchants and cities who were legal and abiding, so it declared this trade route illegal, and demanded that Runeterone City immediately ban and close the three-way outpost and the internal tax checkpoint.

At the same time, Rapids, Nightfall Chole, and other cities of the Northern Empire were strictly ordered not to trade with Runerue, and a recommendation was issued to the surrounding countries to cut off all contact with Runerue.

If Runeterra does not heed the advice and insists on going its own way, Isa will take coercive measures, including military action.

The announcement of Isa City came suddenly, and before the players could react, the Silver Dragon Republic also issued an announcement, advising merchants in the country not to go to the trade routes, because Rune City had a bad reputation, and its safety was questionable.

But players are keenly aware that this announcement is not officially issued by the Silver Dragon Republic, but by a church called the Celestial God Cult, and several counts jointly issued it.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

The matter involves the very popular Antler City, as well as the rune city, which has always been the hottest in the game, and the people who eat melons have a lot of discussions, all worried about whether Rune City can survive this hurdle, and even began to rumor that Rune City is too popular, offending the NPC forces in the game, I am afraid that it will not be popular for a few days.

However, compared to the rumors outside, the inside of Rune City was much calmer.

Business is done as it is, money is made as it is, and businessmen are profitable, and it is impossible for other countries to cut off contact with Rune City because of the words of the Silver Dragon Republic that the donkey's lips are not the right for the horse's mouth.

They underestimate the impact of money too much.

"This is a letter that the councillor of Kaila Mohan asked people to bring,"

Mongo shook the delicate envelope in his hand and chuckled, "The Elven City doesn't care what Issa City says, and the Elven Queen suggests that the scale of our trade can continue to expand. ”

Opposite Mongo were Rhona and Baker, as well as Will and Woodbird, who had rushed back from the three-way crossing, and when they heard the news, several people were relieved.

"It's mainly the Silver Dragon Republic's side." Will frowned as if he had thought of something.

"Don't worry about that, I think the people of the Celestial God Sect are hot-headed,"

Meng Ge smiled when he heard this, and said: "The goods from our trade route are on average more than 20% lower than the price on the sea route of Rapids, and they are safer. ”

Wood Bird's expression was cold, and he said lightly: "A group of people living in ivory towers, I'm afraid they won't take into account the livelihood of ordinary people." ”

The crowd nodded approvingly.

The people of the Celestial God Sect made a stupid move this time, and they were not much smarter than Rapids Harbor, and it could be seen from this that these people were already eager to what extent.

What is really a threat is the other party's military strength, what if the other party really comes to Rune City to wreak havoc?

Baker spoke at this time, "Over there, do you need to send some water elementals over there?" ”

The water elemental pool of the deep lake is well developed, and has now formed a considerable scale, with the number of elemental creatures reaching more than two hundred, and there are many team battle killers like the Water Whisperer.

Baker was worried that someone would wreak havoc at the three-way crossing-rune city was heavily guarded, and he was not afraid that they would come to cause trouble, but what he needed to worry about was the guards everywhere on the trade route, especially the traffic arteries like the three-way crossing

"Elemental creatures can only be commanded by the Great Lord, and do not listen to other people's orders,"

Ron Na shook his head and said, "I'll talk about this when the big lord comes back, there is a druid temple at the fork, and there are stone giants next to it, don't worry too much." ”

"Anyway, the adults have been gone for three days, why is there no news at all?" Will asked curiously.

Everyone looked at each other, no one was clear, but fortunately, Zhu Biao and others conveyed Lu Kuan's orders in real time, so that everyone knew that Lu Kuan was at least safe.

"I know a little bit about this,"

Meng Ge hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He seems to be looking for some helper, I listen to Lao Lu's tone, if he can succeed this time, maybe he won't have to worry about the threat of the Celestial God Sect or even Riptide Harbor." ”

"Oh?" The wood bird raised an eyebrow, then lowered his head, lost in thought.

"What's so strong?" Rona wondered.

"If it were someone else, I'd definitely think he's talking big, if it's the lordship...... I can't tell. Little Mage Will said thoughtfully.

Will's words spoke out of everyone's hearts, and all along, did Lao Lu bring fewer surprises to everyone?

Now all you can do is wait.

……

Come to the fourth day of the swallowing swamp.

Lu Kuan has changed three places, and his luck is not very good, the seven-headed snake lizard has come three times, but he has not chosen where Lu Kuan is.

However, Lu Kuan is not in a hurry, the growth area of the root vine is so large, and the young leaves that breed every day are limited, and there is always a time when he can touch it.

Seeing that the inventory of backpacks, potions and scrolls is still sufficient, and the effects of various buffs are still there, Lu Kuan moved his somewhat stiff neck, stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, when he was wandering outside the world, Lu Kuan felt the trunk of the tree under him sway slightly, Lu Kuan's heart sank, and he immediately opened his eyes.

A dark figure was creeping slowly not far overhead.
