scare!
After the whistling sound that broke through the air, there was the startled exclamation of Yin Lin from the edge of the swamp.
Only a few centimeters away from the girl, an arrow was shot inaccurately at Yin Lin's feet. The girl immediately turned her attention away from the black mud swamp and looked around with a vigilant and angry face.
And almost immediately after, a rush of horse hooves sounded from the forest behind, and the owner of the missing arrow appeared in front of everyone. It was a...
Centaurs.
"What are you still doing? How dare you get so close to the swamp? Are you willing to risk your life?"
The centaur glared angrily at Liao Ji and the others, especially at Yin Lin, who had just been closest to the swamp. At the same time, it rushed over and recovered the arrow that had just been used to force Yin Lin back from the swamp.
"you..."
Yin Lin was about to say something more, but the centaur interrupted directly: "Shut up! It's too dangerous here. Come with me!"
After finishing speaking, the centaur turned around and walked towards Lin Nei, but it was obviously different from the speed when he came. He deliberately slowed down in order to allow Liao Ji and the others to keep up.
Whether it was reminding Yin Lin before or taking them to evacuate now, it can be seen that the centaur demi-humans have very different attitudes towards them from the demi-humans from the previous forest of tribes.
Is this the "Watchmen" clan?
Liao Ji didn't make any unnecessary reaction and silently followed the centaur with the two people around him.
It is worth mentioning that.
During this period, the girl was still indignant at the arrow shot by the centaur just now. It was not until Liao Ji hit her on the head with a knife that she calmed down. The dragon lady next to her glanced at Yin Lin and continued to remain expressionless.
In this way, soon after passing through the jungle, the outline of the camp appeared in the distance.
As a "forest ranger", Da Ge originally wanted to take Liao Ji and the others to find someone in the clan to check to make sure they were not contaminated by black mud before letting them leave.
But who knew, as he approached the tribe's camp, Da Ge's ears twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly changed in the next moment. Then he no longer cared about the three people behind him, Liao Ji, and ran with all his strength towards the camp.
Because, the wild swamp that I had only seen now appeared around the camp. What was even more deadly was that this time, after a while of squirming from the black mud, a strange creature actually crawled out.
No, it cannot be described as a living thing. Their whole body is full of ulcers, their eyes are lifeless, and only the scarlet desire to attack is left. With every step forward of these monsters, the black mud of the swamp below will continue to expand.
Many centaurs in the camp are struggling to resist these black mud monsters, but the defense line looks shaky, and the area of the swamp is still expanding, encroaching on the camp.
The anxious Ta Ge had already pulled out the arrow a hundred meters away, put it on the bowstring, and fired the arrow with great accuracy, hitting the eyeball of a black mud monster with great accuracy.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Unfortunately, his arrow was still a drop in the bucket for the entire situation.
However, at this moment, a powerful aura came from behind him. When Dago turned around in horror, he saw that the human girl who was still squatting by the swamp and playing in the mud had suddenly changed and was carrying a load that shocked him. The trembling blood-red sword had already killed him before he could recover.
Those black mud monsters that they regarded as difficult to deal with could not even be resisted by the girl's big sword. What was most incredible to Dago was that the other most terrifying thing about the black mud monsters was that they kept coming. The constant quantity, but in front of the girl, it seems like a boost?
I saw that after each filthy black mud monster was killed, the sword in the girl's hand not only did not darken, but also became a little brighter with blood. It was originally a sword with one sword, but the further it went, it became a sword that swept across. It can kill more than a dozen monsters.
This "swamp disaster" should be the fastest that Tago has experienced in the past ten years.
In less than a quarter of an hour, there was no longer a black mud monster around the camp. After losing the monster, these filthy black mud swamps could no longer expand, and then mysteriously penetrated underground. , as if running away, after a few breaths, the swamp surrounding the camp disappeared.
...
...
In the stronghold of the chief of the Qiangong clan.
Da Ge looked at the three people opposite him, Liao Ji, with complicated eyes, especially focusing on Yin Lin, who raised her chin high towards him.
She was obviously just a female human brat, but Dago had to endure it, and even had to be grateful. After all, without this human's intervention, their clan would have spent several times the painful price to repel the swamp.
but.
No matter how kind they were to their clan, Da Ge still shook his head when he remembered that what the male human young man just said was also their purpose.
"Sorry, we won't join because we believe in the Empress."
"What--!?"
As soon as Ta Ge said these words, Yin Lin was the first to be upset. If it was for other reasons, forget it, but this reason...Yin Lin didn't understand it at all and couldn't accept it.
"Are you crazy? That heartless, stinky empress has treated you like this, and you still speak for her like this?"
As the girl spoke, Long Niang glanced at Yin Lin and continued to remain expressionless.
Da Ge: "That's just a treacherous official who blinded the eyes of the empress."
"Me! You! I really don't understand you! What are you insisting on!? Yesterday's group of lizardmen were barely growing up, but you have been fighting these swamp monsters on the sidelines, and you have suffered so many casualties from generation to generation. Duo, what are you trying to do?" Yin Lin stomped her feet angrily.
Da Ge shook his head and said: "If we don't stop it, the swamp will only expand more unscrupulously, and then the entire southern border will fall."
"You...why don't you understand! The Dragon Kingdom oppresses you so much and treats you as slaves, but you are still here to help the Dragon Kingdom guard the border. Have you ever thought that no one cares about you at all!"
Originally, Yin Lin thought that these words were lethal enough to make the obsessive Yaren on the other side turn around, but who would have thought that Da Ge actually took out a copy in front of her that seemed to have been passed down for several generations, and it was already very yellow. animal skin scroll.
After Ta Ge very solemnly spread it out in front of everyone, there was a painting inside.
"It's not that no one cares about us, at least the ancestors of our Qiangong clan, the great sage Karl, and...the Great Emperor Hui Jin, these are all people who care about us. Although they are gone, their heroic spirits are still there. Looking at us, giving us looks, I can feel it.”
"So...protecting the southern border is the promise we made back then. If the swamp is not cleared away, we will not leave!"
The great sage Karl in the scroll was easy to recognize as the centaur ancestor of the Qiangong clan, but Yin Lin could not find the "Great Emperor Hui Jin".
Until Dago pointed to the black figure covering his whole body with a cloak in the scroll.
Yin Lin: "?"
"This is Lao Gu... Great Emperor Hui Jin? Why is it different from what is posted on the Internet..."
Da Ge raised his eyebrows and thought several times in his heart that the female human across from him was their savior, and then suppressed his hardened fist.
However, for another person present.
The dragon lady glanced at the girl.
But this time...
No longer expressionless.
"So as long as there is no more wild swamp, there is no point for you to stay here, right?"
What's the meaning?
Tago looked at the female dragon-human demi-human standing across from him and asked. Although he didn't understand, he still nodded.
And after that.
"Lord Liao Ji, can you please allow me to go with her to eliminate the source of the swamp?"
Long Niang asked Liao Ji immediately, and then pointed at Yin Lin. Obviously the "she" was referring to the girl.
And at the end, Long Niang specially added a sentence.
"The wild swamp is too dangerous, so there is no need for you, Lord Liao Ji, to follow."
"Just let..."
"Let's go together. I will protect her. There will definitely be no danger to her life."
