Deep in the Forbidden Forest, the green bear beast is like an ape, climbing left and right in the dense forest.
It first grabbed a thick branch, then swung to another big tree not far away, jumping sideways repeatedly in this way, moving forward at an alarming speed.
There was also a huge wooden chair placed on the green bear beast's broad back. Luo Fu and Shirley were sitting on it, blowing the mountain breeze while admiring the surrounding mountains and forests.
Suddenly there was the sound of flapping wings in her ears. Shirley raised her head and saw a magic object the size of a walnut with silver wings flying over and circling around Rolf.
"Monitor?" Shirley asked doubtfully, "What is it doing?"
"It should be confirming my identity." Luo Fei waved his hand towards the monitor and explained softly:
"My original monitor was broken during the battle with the Rock Thief Dragon. This was probably re-sent from the Ministry of Magic."
After Rowe waited for the monitor to confirm his identity, he raised his wand and turned it off.
It was already lunch time, and the students should all go back to the auditorium to eat, so there was no need for him to keep staring at the two of them.
With this thing in place, it would be hard for Rolf to get together with Shirley and have an in-depth exchange of experiences about the competition.
Of course, the two of them were also having lunch, but the food was very simple, only honey, wild berries, fruit pulp and a few apples picked in the Forbidden Forest.
They had eaten a lot for breakfast and weren't too hungry yet, so they didn't bother making lunch.
The green bear quickly passed through the dense forest and stopped in front of a green-brown land rich in peat.
This is a large swamp with wild grasses and shrubs growing there. It looks green, but is actually full of dangers.
The biggest danger comes from the land itself. Some land looks solid, but when you step into it, you will fall into it.
In addition, there are mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, leeches and other animals, all of which are extremely deadly.
The ghost grass is in the swamp, and it is one of the three items that the warrior must collect.
Although Rolf didn't know its use yet, he had to take Shirley inside.
"This is a potion I made improvised using mint, gum from willow twigs and bile of rock rats."
Luofu took out a small wooden bottle from his pocket, shook it and said:
"I'll put a few drops on your arms to prevent mosquitoes and leech bites in the swamp."
Shirley hummed, opened her sleeves, and stretched her arms in front of Luo Fei. He opened the bottle cap, dabbed the oily liquid with his fingertips, and gently applied it on the girl's snow-white skin.
Shirley smelled the pungent smell of mint and some burning sensation. When the burning sensation subsided slightly, she felt a wonderful cooling feeling.
After Luofu finished applying it, he put away the bottle, patted the green bear beast on the head and said:
"You are too big and can easily fall into the swamp, so just stay here."
He looked at Shirley again and suggested: "It's dangerous for us both to walk. Let me fly in with you on my back."
The girl with the ponytail naturally had no objection. She stood up, lay on Luofu's back, and put her arms around his neck.
The young man carried her, who was not heavy, as she rose from the ground like a flying rainbow and flew towards the depths of the swamp.
Rolf's back was broad and warm, and Shirley pressed her cheek against it, listening to his heartbeat while surveying the surrounding scenery.
The scenery in the swamp is not pretty. There are shrubs that have been soaked in the rotting swamp for many years, and there are huge flowers blooming in the mud pits and floating on the billabong pools.
There are mosquitoes and sand fleas buzzing in the air, and a group of cryptopteran insects are mating. They are like dense needle holes on a piece of cloth, which is enough to make people with trypophobia sick.
The big gray toad with a bulging belly can roll up a bunch of bugs every time it pops out its long and slender tongue, as if it is eating an all-you-can-eat buffet.
There are also blood flies as big as bees. They are heavy, slightly purple in color, and emit a sticky and disgusting light.
They are biting a bison that got stuck in the swamp, and its purple-red body swells with blood.
The cow's tail swept, and the blood flies dispersed quickly, then wandered back and landed on its body, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, these mosquitoes did not dare to come near because of the smell of the medicine, otherwise they would have suffered.
While passing by a relatively clear pond, Shirley also saw a water shrew that wanted to drink water, but a pair of green hands and a twisted green mouth stretched out from the water.
It was the water monkey, and it grabbed the shrew by the cheek and pulled it into the whirlpool.
The smell of the swamp is getting stronger and stronger, and the air here is humid. The wind is like a moist kiss, blowing from the south, blowing the two people's robes and making a crackling sound.
They flew several kilometers away and finally landed on a large black rock.
Surrounding the stone was a quagmire that smelled of carrion.
According to the map, ghost grass grows nearby. Shirley looked around, pointed to the rock wall on the side of the quagmire, and said: "There!"
Luofu turned around and saw strips of slimy white ghost grass hanging down from the wet rocks. He said cautiously:
"There is a mud fish dragon in the quagmire. If we want to pick the ghost grass, we must deal with it first."
Luo Fu and Shirley stared at the quagmire, but did not see any movement, let alone the figure of the Mud Fish Dragon.
Strange...there seems to be no living things in the quagmire.
At this moment, the two of them heard a sound coming from under their feet - the sound was loud and dirty, humming, as if coming from the stomach.
The two of them looked at each other, and in an instant, they both realized that the thing they were standing on was not a stone.
After all, rocks don't breathe!
Then the thing under your feet can only be - Mud Fish Dragon!
Rove immediately picked up Shirley and flew towards the sky, and the "boulder" they were just standing on began to rise upwards!
That was the back of the Ichthyosaurus. It was sleeping comfortably in the mud, but now it was disturbed by two small insects and woke up from its sleep.
It was so angry that it became completely angry. It roared towards the sky and spurted a lot of mud from its mouth.
There was a sudden "ding" in Luo Fu's brain.
[A wild mud fish dragon was detected, triggering side task 1:]
Help the mud fish dragon clean the mud that has accumulated for many years, and you will be rewarded with magic:
【Lime Hydraulic】
[The host can spray out a viscous liquid like a mud ichthyosaur, and when combined with other substances, it can form a super-viscous mud.
If this kind of mud falls on the opponent, it will greatly reduce the opponent's mobility. After the mud dries, it will be stronger than stone]
[Side mission 2]
Capturing the Mudfish Dragon will reward you with magic:
【Abyss Diving】
[The host can sneak freely in the mud and swamps like a mud ichthyosaur]
