In the swamp covered with rotten branches and vines, a small fortress stands quietly, a fortress that has long been eroded by the swamp, and has been abandoned in this swamp for more than a hundred years.

Under the leadership of the Lizardman scout of the Lizard Tribe, Brian and Karadna had already found this fortress hidden in the depths of Hirozawa.

He and the sorcerer beside him use hidden magic to cover up his figure, squatted in a dense bush, and carefully observed the specific situation of the fortress.

The entire fortress is completely protected by a wall about 10 meters high. The walls are covered with green vines, full of ancient charm.

He saw a pond filled with rotten black water not far ahead of him surrounded the south and southwest corners of the fortress, and there was also such a pond in the northeast corner in the distance.

Through the pungent smell brought by the breeze, Brian realized that the black water in these two ponds contained strong toxicity and acidity, which was a natural defense barrier. It was obviously a bit difficult for the two to lurk here quietly.

And at the farthest point of their sight, at the end of the north side of the fortress, a round tower stood out lonely, about twice the height of the wall.

Vagically, Brian, who had a keen intuition about magic, could feel that the tower was cast with superb detection spells.

If the two of them appear rashly, they will definitely be noticed immediately.

Directly in front of him, on the southeast side of the fortress, a hanging gate blocked the inside and outside, and the vines also stopped here, revealing a small piece of space.

He saw the jumping flames coming out of the dense arrow holes in the wall, like a large torch burning in front of the fortress.

A light smoke rose lightly from somewhere behind the gate.

The iron bars of this gate have long been rusted under the corrosion of the swamp. Looking from the gaps on the door, there is a long and narrow passage behind the door.

If you look closely, you will find that like the dense arrow holes on the exterior wall, there are also many such mechanisms on the inner wall of the passage.

At the end of the passage, there is a second hanging gate blocking the road ahead.

There was a lot of gravel scattered in the passage, and the sunset projected from the gaps in the ceiling, sprinkling a little dim light in the holes of these stones.

"I suddenly regret coming here with you." The sorcerer who was squatting in the bushes moved his body away from the leg bones of an unknown beast that had been rotten and full of maggots that he had just stepped on. She leaned over to Brian, frowned and complained in a low voice, "The environment here is even worse than expected, and it is hard to describe."

Although a nearly invisible magic shield had already been erected around her to isolate any odor and mosquitoes, the visual impact brought by the harsh environment and the rotten animals and plants around her still made her feel instinctively disgusted.

As I spoke, a strong fragrance of roses came.

Brian noticed that the sorcerer moved toward him again. The distance between the two even made him feel the warmth emitted by the other person's skin.

If he looked down, he could also see a white, dazzling slender legs exposed from the hem of the slit skirt. This strong visual impact actually made him feel the urge to go up and touch it.

Brian was immediately shocked by the sudden thoughts in his mind, and asked himself with a deep grip that he was not a leg control, and could only attribute it to the passive influence of Karadna's extraordinary charm.

This is the benefit of being a wizard. Even in a harsh environment like a swamp, this sorcerer wearing high heels can still walk spotlessly as if walking on flat ground.

Of course, the cost of doing this is also very serious, that is, it is to isolate most of one's own perceptions except vision. When encountering ambush or sneak attacks, it is very likely that it will not be able to react in an instant.

If you are in a fully equipped team of adventurers, there is naturally no problem, because dirty and tiring tasks such as reconnaissance and alert are entirely responsible for the Ranger or Wanderer.

But the situation is different now. There are only two of them, so this important task naturally fell on Brian with the departure of the Lizardman scout.

As a professional who has long been accustomed to this kind of adventure, Brian will definitely not want to wrap himself in a solid protective cover like this delicate sorcerer, so as to isolate all perceptions from the outside world.

In addition to simply casting a few magic tricks to block the interference of poisonous insects and light bodies on his own, he personally felt the harsh environment of the swamp along the way.

"You can't stand this?"

Brian looked at the fortress in the distance and thought about how to break in. Without looking back, he said casually: "At this point, you are far from Cialisiabi."

Speaking of this sword wizard who turned into the Queen of Steel, Brian couldn't help but recall the scene when he and Xisaiya broke into the fungus queen base camp. The undead creature transformed from rotten fungi growing on human flesh is the most terrifying and disgusting.

Even though it was so long, he suddenly recalled that his stomach still had a slight twitch instinctively.

"Tsk, isn't it just a group of corrupt fungi? What can you bear? There is nothing comparable between the two." Karadna snorted in discontent:

"I have never seen any scenes before. I will be frightened by those rotten things. When I was most embarrassed, I was like you, even the things in the mud monster's belly were completely removed."

After hearing this sentence, Brian realized that the warlock had probably reached the level of talking about everything, and he actually told his black history.

I just don't know how much Cialia sold him.

"But your performance makes it hard for me to imagine that you have traveled across the mainland, or even other planes." Brian turned around and looked at the sorcerer and said with a smile.

When he turned around, he naturally inadvertently saw two dazzling snow-white balls wrapped in a dark purple lace bra and the mysterious ravines that were looming.

"What do you know, this is a kind of confidence."

Karadna seemed to notice Brian's gaze, raised her long eyelashes and glared at him, calmly tightened her cloak tightly on her body, pretending to be serious and thought deeply:

“As a spellcaster, I usually do what I do best when facing various dangers and harsh environments, and undoubtedly, today is the same.”

"But today's performance looks like a spoiled noble lady." Brian couldn't help but ask in confusion: "I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?"

"Of course my confidence comes from..."

The sorcerer blurted out suddenly, looked at Brian intently, and suddenly blinked his burgundy eyes at him playfully, and smiled, "Of course it comes from your cultivation and strength."

"Okay." Brian turned around speechlessly.

"Hey." Karadna touched Brian's arm and leaned against him. Her crystal white chin was almost about to rest on his shoulder. "When are you going to let me squat with you? Since their defense is so strict, with the strength of both of us, it's okay to rush in."

"I understand what you said." The distance between the two made Brian almost feel that this soft body was already close to him. He was unmoved and pondered slightly, and said: "Strong rushing is certainly the best choice. I just want to maintain my strength as much as possible. After all, what awaits us in the shadow plane is an extremely dangerous and long fierce battle. We cannot waste too much physical strength and magic here."

"I'm so scared." Karadna exaggeratedly, exclaimed, but the bright burgundy eyes obviously betrayed her, and the excitement of eagerness to try was revealed inside. She happily grabbed Brian's arm like a child, and said:

"The shadow plane is good. I haven't been there for a long time. I don't know what kind of environment the shadow crack in Hirozawa can teleport us to."

"Since that's the case, let's force it."

After Brian couldn't think of a way to sneak into the fortress perfectly, he could only choose to compromise. He pulled the sorcerer's hand out of his arms as if nothing had happened, patted the weak and smooth back of his hand, reminding her, "But when you rush into the fortress later, you just need to keep alert, and I will deal with all the enemies."

"Why?" Karadna stood up unhappily from the hiding bushes. The two beautiful legs that were just exposed just right were exposed, exuding a silky and crystal luster without any flaws, which feasted Brian, who just raised his head.

"Of course, it is to keep your strength as much as possible." Brian stood up and grabbed her wrist. Without permission, he used the space nodes that had just been set behind the fortress's hanging gate to transmit it directly with the surge of magic energy.

"Bang!"

The door of the guard room was kicked open by Brian, and the inside was unexpectedly empty and comfortable.

Brian glanced at the room quickly.

On the right side of the door is a burning stove, emitting a warm and bright atmosphere. A light smoke floated out of the hole in the ceiling directly above the stove. Behind the stove are two thick straw mattresses, spreading parallel to the ground.

A round table was placed opposite the door of the southeast corner, surrounded by four high-backed chairs, and four fully armed guards sat.

Their weapons were leaning against the side casually, and they were drinking and eating meat around the table.

Everyone was stunned by Brian's unexpectedly strong intrusion.

One of the guards who stood up and poured wine was even more frightened and stood there, letting the wine in the wine pot keep gushing down towards the wine glass that had already been overflowing on the table.

——"Curse Fire Bomb!"

Brian, who took out the staff in advance, raised the staff and waved it gently before the guards could react. The four fireballs as big as fists, shining with blue and white light condensed into shape. Under the guidance of the staff, they were like lead bullets coming out of the bore, shooting at the four guards one by one.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by four loud bangs, the four guards were all blown into bloody corpses by the fireball condensed from the original magic energy of the curse fire.

One of the priests who reacted in time tried to defend with the magic shield that resisted fire damage. However, the moment the fireball hit the barrier, it seemed like dry firewood encountered fire, causing the explosive flame energy to suddenly surge a few points, becoming the first unlucky guy among the four to turn into ashes.

Seeing the damage caused by the curse fire bomb, Brian nodded secretly and was quite satisfied.

Since he obtained the curse fire, he has not been rigid enough to rely on level improvement to obtain various characteristics of the curse fire, and is also studying its usage skills.

For example, the curse fire bomb he just released is a skill that has no energy consumption, because as long as he uses the curse fire bomb to kill the enemy, he can independently absorb the life energy of the killed person and replenish the consumption just now.

"Let's go!" The enemy in the guard room had been cleaned up. Brian did not waste time and immediately waved to the sorcerer who was standing aside and watching, and walked out.

"Is this curse fire? It's really amazing."

Karadna played with a strand of hair hanging from her chest, looked at the burnt corpse, muttered to herself, then looked at Brian's departure back, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly followed.

"Who is there?" As soon as the two of them walked out of the guard room, a vulgar voice came from the arrow hole on the wall, "Leave immediately, you are not welcome here!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Although the words of warning the two mean to expel them, the actions of the warning agent did not get idle because of this, obviously intending to violently expel them.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of patrol teams with about fifteen hurriedly ran over and tried to surround Brian and the others with double-teams.

These creatures look like humans, but they are obviously taller and thinner, with dark gray skin, black hair, purple tattoos on their faces, and decorative accessories worn on their ears and noses.

They were also wearing rough black armor, and they seemed to be wrapped in shadows.

Ghost Warrior, Brian instantly recognized the patrol team's true identity, and this group of people are the elite among Ghost Warriors, and their strength is at least about level 10 in the second level.

"Silly intruder!"

A ghost warrior who obviously looks burly, with cold blood-red eyes, looking directly at Brian and the other two through the gap in the steel mask, his voice was hoarse and loud, "Who do you think you are? Heroes? Then let's give you a hero's ending."

A fireball as big as a washbasin roared out like a cannonball, falling into the group of ghost warriors.

"Boom!"

The scorching flames exploded, and the fiercely burning high-temperature flames rage everywhere, and even the entire fortress seemed to tremble slightly in the explosion.

As soon as the fireball was fired, four ghost warriors were blown up on the spot. The impact of the fireball instantly exploded, and all the enemies outside the center of the explosion flew backwards.

Even the ghost leader who survived by chance opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of blood, and a fire ignited all over his body.

"Are you legendary powerhouses?!" The ghost leader got up from the ground and looked at Brian and the other two in shock.

Unfortunately it was too late.

Because no one answered his question, only a blue and white curse fire bomb the size of a fist was responded to.

After dealing with these inconvenient guards, Brian quickly took Karadna to the depths of the fortress.

Between the guard room and the main building of the fortress is a large open space, surrounded by walls that were once intact but now eroded by swamps.

The situation at the venue is very unoptimistic. It seems that in a few years, the swamp will be completely assimilated.
