The so-called swamp is not actually the black mud covered with dead branches and leaves, and sometimes some dead animals float. There are poisonous miasma floating on the swamp. In fact, most of the swamp is connected to each other and a group of herbs and mud and some hard lands, and there are many living plants and a large number of animals and insects. In a sense, it is still a very beautiful natural scenery - but in fact these swamps are also very dangerous. You don’t know if there is flowing mud and water below, and how deep is it...
For Nathan and the others, the worst thing was that the area where they entered the swamp from Highland Town happened to be the swamp that people imagined - black silt, dead branches and leaves... So these three guys got lost just after they walked into the swamp.
Kandal, a halfling who claims to be unparalleled, claimed with great skill in the thief, swore: "We are walking on the right path, and at most an hour, we can see the first dry highland in this quagmire! And it is not far from the ruins we are going to go to!"
Then three hours later, Bart and Nathan successfully turned the half-ling dwarf into a meaty dwarf. In the end, Kandal, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, finally admitted that they were lost. What's worse was that as half-baked thieves, half-lings, this guy didn't remember the way back, and the other two rookies didn't remember it either, so unfortunately they were about to be finished.
If they were a group of veterans, they would either try to confirm the direction and struggle to go back, or they would go crazy hysterically, but these three rookies were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem. After the archers and soldiers vented their lost depression on the thief, they felt that it was no big deal and just keep moving forward. "Anyway, we brought a lot of food, and there were animals and water everywhere in the swamp, so there was no problem."
The three guys found a reliable direction and began to move towards the depths of the swamp. As expected, God loves fools. The three guys left for two days without encountering any danger. They just met a slime. As a typical sword and shield warrior, Nathan would not fall into the hands of Slime.
However, on this day they finally met a slightly harder opponent - they left the black mud zone on this day and arrived at the world of meadows and ponds. There were even some trees on the high ground, and the air became very fresh. The three guys suddenly felt that they were on vacation. At this moment, a water arrow shot out. Fortunately, Nathan used the small round shield on his left hand to block the water arrow in time, but the metal sheet inlaid in the center of the small round shield emitted a sour air and began to melt quickly. On the other side, the initiator of the water arrow - a frog more than half a human-sized person jumped out of the pond.
"What is this? A big frog that can spit out strong soreness? Bart! Use your bow and arrow!" Nathan screamed. At this time, he had already dropped the round shield in his left hand. The surface of the round shield had been corroded and penetrated. If it was not thrown away, it would probably corrode the leather armor on Nathan's arm.
As a self-proclaimed third-level archer, Bart still had a few brushes. A sharp arrow was immediately nailed between the big frog's eyes. The powerful force caused half of the sharp arrow to sink into the frog's body. The big frog almost immediately died of breath. But before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, three or four such big frogs jumped out of the pond one after another.
"Damn it! Is this a frog cave? Bart, use it quickly if you have any skills! Otherwise we will be in trouble!" Nathan shouted, wielding a one-handed sword and jumped into the frog group directly. Before the big frogs could spit out the water arrow, chopping them up a few before talking about it.
The halfling thief Kandal also entered the sneaking, preparing to go around behind a frog to get a back prick - at this time, an extremely inefficient method, and his ability to restrain the frog group was not as good as that of Nathan, who was wielding his long sword in the frog group.
After a while of rush, Bart released his strongest attack trick in time, "Multiple Arrows!" Bart fired his right hand continuously, shooting four sharp arrows in one breath, hitting four big frogs, but the hitting part was not very good - some shot the eyes, some shot the tongue, some shot the belly and forelimbs, but no big frog was shot to death anyway. However, Nathan made up a few swords in time, and Kandal also sent a back prick, and finally killed two frogs in time, but the other two frogs had already spitted out corrosive water arrows. Nathan ran away quickly, while escaping while trying to take off the smoke-filled leather armor on his body. Kandal ran away with him. Bart shot another arrow and killed a frog and immediately turned around and ran with Nathan and the others - the frogs were still jumping out of the pond.
While running, the three of them quickly threw away the things other than weapons. After half an hour, they finally successfully got rid of the frog group behind them.
"It's a little trouble now. We've lost all our dry food." Bart spoke weakly.
"It's okay! I have a cup and flint here. We can roast frogs and eat them, and there are water everywhere here." Kandal, a halfling, was very optimistic. "After all, I didn't let frogs eat us, which is already good, right?"
Nathan didn't say anything, but he took out a small bag on his body, which contained a piece of salt and several fish hooks. "Anyway, let's get some food first!"
Although he finally escaped from the pursuit of the frogs and got a few fish to eat, the three guys were still a little unhappy. "We have not yet gained anything..." The three guys muttered to eat the fish, then continued to look for a dry high ground, matted the straw and prepared to go to bed - it was already late.
At night, under the moonlight, fogs of water spread between ponds, meadows, highlands and trees. The three guys surrounded a circle with the remaining deworming powder and fell asleep in the circle. As for the nighttime hours, no one of the three people expected that they could survive until now because the goddess of luck, Taimora loves fools...
Now, Temora continued to love these three guys. With an invisible wave, the three people disappeared without a trace in the mist. The only trace left was a circular halo that was faintly visible on the ground where the three of them lie by. There seemed to be countless strange words in the halo.
"The strange ceiling..." Nathan opened his eyes and murmured to himself.
"The strange ceiling....... Damn it! Where are we? Get up quickly, you two fools!" Nathan's second sentence...
The three people looked around in surprise. They were now in a large stone house. The stone house seemed to have no doors or windows, but there were huge holes in the ceiling, and sunlight fell from it. On the other side, there was a stone staircase, which seemed to lead to the second floor, but from the holes in the ceiling, it seemed that something was missing from the second floor.
The three of them jumped up and climbed up to the second floor, and found that half of the walls on the second floor disappeared without a trace. Stones suspected to be the wall were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that a powerful force had broken the wall.
"Is this a mage tower?" Bart asked first.
"Look for something good!" Kandal shouted happily.
"It seems that it's not on the map......We are developed!" Nathan was even happier.
"You don't seem to understand the map, right?" Bart immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Nathan.
"Don't worry about him! Let's search first!" Nathan shouted - as for whether there would be other "things" in this tower? No one expected the three guys...... No wonder, the stones on the ground were covered with moss, and they looked like no one had cleaned for hundreds of years.
