Chapter 48: The Sea of Scarlet Worms
In order to get out of this smoky ghost place as soon as possible, everyone invariably sped up.
"Wow, what do you see up ahead?" Lucia exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone stopped, smiles of ecstasy on their faces, and a lush, undulating hill could be faintly seen in the distance, indicating that the edge of the swamp was not far ahead.
"Everyone, work hard, and we'll be able to get out of this damn swamp in no time." Harley exclaimed, it was the swamp that devoured the two members of his adventure team, although they were to blame, but without two helpers would be more dangerous, he knew that the swamp was not terrible, their destination, the lost city, was the most terrible place.
But when the elated six rushed to the edge of the swamp, all of them gasped, and the excitement just now disappeared without a trace. Three hundred meters away was a green meadow, but this three hundred meters wide area was a real place of death, a muddy swamp crawling with blood-red insects, the kind of terrifying insects that gnawed Gretel and Shi Yan to their bones in an instant.
"Harley, what should I do? Is there a mark on the map how to pass? Lan Tian looked at the blood-colored sea of insects and turned pale, he didn't want to end up like Gretel and them.
Harley shook his head, his face solemn as ever, he took out the map and looked at it over and over again, the route everyone had taken was exactly as marked on the map, but the map did not indicate that there were such terrifying insects here.
"It's over, our efforts have been in vain." Lan Tian sighed, he really didn't have the confidence to pass the last three hundred meters.
At this time, the brute, Lucia, and Leng Youyou all looked at Long Yi reflexively, and in their subconscious, they had already looked at him, and as for Harley, the captain, they couldn't believe it.
Long Yi also looked at this sea of insects, he couldn't think of how to rush over for a while, but he noticed that these blood-red insects seemed to only stay in this three-hundred-meter-wide muddy swamp, and none of them crossed the line, he wondered if this could be artificial? Otherwise, how could these bugs be so obedient.
"Unless we all know how to levitation like the Great Magician, we won't be able to get by." Harley said depressedly.
"Even if we all know how to float, there's a good chance we'll not get by." Long Yi smiled bitterly.
"How?" Halley asked.
Long Yi tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes, wrapped two handfuls of dirt in it, and threw it vigorously over the sea of insects under the puzzled eyes of several people. I saw that the mud bag had just rushed into the sky above this sea of insects, and the insects that had just crawled on the swamp made a piercing cry and rushed up with lightning speed, and the whole sky was shrouded in a red cloud in an instant, but immediately these blood-red insects fell again, and as for the mud bag, they couldn't even find a single trace for a long time.
"See? Unless we can fly to an altitude of 500 meters, we don't want to go there. "Dragon.
Now everyone is silent, what else can be done to fly over? Is it really going to be a failure?
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, everyone was at a loss, and in desperation, Harley had to order everyone to camp on the spot and think of a way to do it at night.
As everyone set up camp and prepared to rest, the last rays of the sun sank into the horizon, and the whole world became dark. But at this moment, Long Yi and the others all opened their mouths wide, and looked at the sea of insects one by one in a daze.
"Wow, that's beautiful." Lucia couldn't help but say, no one thought that these evil insects that eat people and don't spit out bones would light up at night, and they were so red that they were crystal clear and beautiful, so that hundreds of millions of such red insects formed a meandering red sea with no edge, and it looked so beautiful and bewitching in the dark night.
The six of them stood there in a daze, looking at the magnificent sea of insects in the night. I don't know how long later, the sea of fiery insects suddenly burst into gurgling bubbles, and crocodile-like reptiles emerged from the swamp, they were extremely ugly, their protruding triangular eyes radiated a green glow, and their mouths were long, full of sharp teeth, a bit similar to the alligators on the earth, but much more ferocious. Strangely, the blood-red insects do not attack them, but scatter as soon as they encounter them.
"What is this?" Long Yi asked, seeing what he seemed to have caught at these crocodile-like animals, but he didn't know very well.
"This is a swamp man-eating beast, often thousands of them live together in groups, as long as they fall into the swamp, both the Sword Master and the Grand Magister will not escape death, originally this terrifying insect is enough to give people a headache, and now there are more of these man-eating beasts, can we really just stop here? I'm really unwilling. Halley shook his head and sighed, and the man was lonely in the tent.
In the middle of the night, Ryuichi woke up from meditation, and he always felt as if he had thought of a way through this swamp, but it was a little vague, and he couldn't grasp the key every time he thought of it.
As soon as the dragon walked out of the tent, the fiery sea of insects still shone. He walked to the edge of the swamp and sat down, looking at the insects and the swamp man-eating beasts, the man-eating beasts obviously noticed Ryuichi and surrounded dozens of them at once, but they didn't dare to cross the line like those blood-red insects.
Leng Youyou looked at the figure sitting on the edge of the swamp, his expression was very complicated, and the script that stepped out was able to pull back. She risked her life to do the mission of this lost city, of course, she also had her purpose, and she was also troubled by not being able to get past the swamp, but it was nothing compared to the trouble brought by this man.
In the past few days, Long Yi has been teasing her and coaxing her to be happy, but she still doesn't dare to face it, and from Long Yi's language, she has the meaning of accepting herself, but she was suddenly afraid, on the one hand, she was afraid that this was a gorgeous soap bubble that would break when she touched it in the sun, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she was implicated in Long Yi.
"When you wake up, come and sit down." Just when Leng Youyou wanted to retract, Long Yi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Leng Youyou was startled, and looked up, Long Yi was still in place, but why did his voice seem to be in his ears? Perhaps accustomed to the endless and surprising abilities of the dragon layer, Leng Youyou just hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Long Yi.
