: 550th Swamp City

Li Yuanhong didn't know that he had collided with the lizardman at the first risk, but Li Yuanhong did not relax his vigilance because of this. Looking for some traces of trampling in the grass, Li Yuanhong walked quietly towards the depths of the dense forest.
Maybe these lizard people have stayed in the dense forest for too long, so they don't cover up the road they usually walk. After a long time, these trampled vegetation has formed a path. This was convenient for Li Yuanhong to follow. Along this path, Li Yuanhong did not walk out for an hour before seeing the second team of patrol soldiers, but this team was not a lizardman, but a team of werewolves.
Fortunately, the guards were exploring the way ahead and spotted this team of werewolves patrolling in the forest ahead of time. Otherwise, Li Yuanhong would advance rashly and would definitely meet this team of werewolves.
The Werewolf squad has only ten soldiers. If there is a fight, Li Yuanhong is confident that he can destroy them, but he will also expose himself. This time, he is mainly looking for the pyramid. Li Yuanhong does not want to have extra branches.
Lurking in the bushes in the distance, waiting for this team of werewolves to pass by, Li Yuanhong led the team to move forward. The front was a swamp with puddles all over it and muddy and difficult to move. What's more, just now Stepping into the mud, Li Yuanhong jumped out, and then looked on his feet, there were seven or eight mutant leeches lying on them. Had Li Yuanhong not been wearing dragon-scale black armor, the mutant leech could give half of his blood instantly. Blot dry.
"How to get to this swamp, or let's follow the patrol route of those werewolves!" the guard suggested.
"No, if we take the route of the werewolves, I am afraid we will meet them soon, and our whereabouts will be exposed. If we walk here, we can not only cover our whereabouts, but also take shortcuts." Li Yuanhong said.
"But how do we get from this swamp?" The guard scratched his head. You know, the biggest risk in this swamp is not the mutant beasts, but the quagmire. From the outside, it may be just a wet land. Once you step on it , Then it becomes a trap of cannibalism. And this trap is everywhere, even only half a foot away.
Of course, the mutant beasts hidden in the quagmire are also deadly killers. The blood-sucking leeches are just side dishes, and many creatures that can directly kill people are hidden in the mud.
Li Yuanhong said confidently: "I am prepared!"
With that said, a dozen special ships were taken out of the space. The bows of these boats are high and tilted, much like the head of a sleigh, the stern is straight and wide, and the hull is also very wide. The whole boat is like an enlarged sleigh.
"What kind of ship is this?" the guard asked, seeing that the style of the ship was very special.
"This is called a swamp boat. I gave it. The bottom of this boat has a large area of ​​force. People on it don’t have to worry about getting into a swamp due to gravity. The bow will bend, so that the resistance to forward will be reduced. The mudskipper’s beach boat is okay!" Li Yuanhong showed himself.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Li Ge to have design talent." The guard said with a smile.
In fact, this was designed by Li Yuanhong. It was Li Yuanhong who threw the problem to Dr. Bai and the others. They soon found inspiration on some traditional mudskipper boats offshore. Mudskippers live in wetlands on the beach, where the environment is similar to swamps and there are patches of mud. If people walk on it, it is difficult for people to walk on it. It is almost impossible to catch mudskippers there, so offshore fishermen invented it. This kind of ship. But that kind of boat has no power and needs manpower to step on the quagmire to propel the boat forward, and Li Yuanhong took out, there is a machine treading water device at the stern, so there is no need for people to risk their feet in the quagmire.
With the boat, everyone got on the boat. The boat glide freely in the quagmire, and soon the entire team disappeared in the quagmire.
But shortly after Li Yuanhong left, the lizardmen team rushed to the edge of the swamp. The leader of the lizardman team kept sticking his tongue out at the edge of the mire again.
"Yes, there is that kind of smell here too!" said the lizardman squad leader looking into the depths of the mire.
"Let me just say, this smell must be some kind of mutant beast, or something dared to go into the swamp, you know, our bravest lizard warriors can't guarantee that they can safely come out of this swamp alive. Unless it is a nine-headed dragon beast." The deputy captain said.
"Maybe!" The squad leader looked deeply suspicious and glanced at the depths of the swamp. He was not sure whether the smell that made him unfamiliar was a mutant beast.
Li Yuanhong got rid of chasing soldiers once. In fact, neither side knew the other's existence. This can only be said that the goddess of fate favored Li Yuanhong more this time. You should know that Li Yuanhong has always accompanied him with several accessories that increase luck. Although these magic equipment have not reached the level, in Li Yuanhong's view, these accessories are not less valuable than the artifacts.
Li Yuanhong everyone traversed the swamp. It can be said that they passed through the swamp smoothly all the way. This is due to the swamp boat. This kind of boat not only allows everyone to quickly walk through the swamp, but also because of the sliding, it basically does not disturb the swamp and makes the swamp. The mutant beast in there is unconscious. Therefore, everyone safely went to the center of the swamp without disturbing the mutant beast.
However, just as Li Yuanhong was about to continue to cross the swamp, a city appeared in the center of the swamp, with tall walls, lined arrow towers, and soldiers patrolling the walls, all swearing that this is a heavily guarded city.
Li Yuanhong bowed, and everyone stopped moving forward. The guard slowly slid the marsh boat and came to Li Yuanhong: "Brother Li, are we there yet?"
Li Yuanhong glanced at the city wall. The entire city wall almost enveloped the entire city. What was inside the city was invisible at all, and the city's wall was also strange green, and he didn't know what material it was built of.
"It's not so sure right now. Take someone and go to the other side of the city wall to investigate. Remember, only detect, not fight, and protect yourself!"
"Understood!" The guard promised, leading a few people, and quietly began to detour to the other side of the city.
Li Yuanhong was not idle either, using the real eye to investigate the defense situation and guards of the city.
The wall of the entire city is built on the edge of the swamp. The distance between the swamp and the city wall is not more than five meters. In other words, this swamp has become a natural barrier for this city. Anyone who wants to attack this city, the swamp is The insurmountable death trap.
"I don't know if the terrain on the other side of the city is also like this!" Li Yuanhong guessed.
Li Yuanhong focused on the defensive power of the city again. Those wolf-head soldiers with chain hammers kept patrolling the city walls, and there were lizardmen in the many arrow towers, but Li Yuanhong was worried. Yes, there are flying troops on the city wall. These big flying insects are very similar to the large version of dragonflies, but these things are faster than dragonflies, and looking at their mouthparts, they are obviously aggressive. Most of these flying dragonflies are green, and a few are golden red. You can see that those golden red ones are heads.
"It's not easy to have an air force!" Li Yuanhong sighed in his heart, knowing that if he is found in this quagmire by those flying dragonflies, he will only be beaten.
Fortunately, Li Yuanhong is far away from the city, and this is not the focus of defense on the wall, so Li Yuanhong's whereabouts have not been discovered.
More than an hour later, when the guard came back, Li Yuanhong asked quietly: "How is the investigation over there?"
"Brother Li, the other side of the city is also a swamp, and it is very close to the Amazon River. It is estimated that this swamp was caused by the flooding of the Amazon River." The guard also whispered.
"Then how was this city built? They are not afraid of flooding the river and flooding them?"
"I observed that although most of the city is surrounded by swamps, there is land at the main gate of the city. The terrain there is higher than other places, so there should be the only way to the city, and I still I saw a lot of werewolves above, they drove some mutant beasts to transport supplies."
"Oh? Can you tell what they shipped?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"This can't be seen, the supplies are covered by something." The guard said.
"It seems that it is not easy to sneak into the city!" Li Yuanhong sighed.
"It's not impossible to sneak into the city." The guard said
"Why, do you have a way?" Li Yuanhong looked at the guard in confusion, how could he sneak in easily.
"That's it. On the other side of the city, I saw a big drain pipe. I think there should be the sewage outlet of the city. If there is a person in that pipe, there is no problem at all."
"It seems that the people in this city are very confident in their defense and leave us such a big back door." Li Yuanhong said.
"It's not that they are confident, I think they are too proud, thinking that this swamp can block all attacks, so they placed the drain on the side of the swamp." The guard analyzed.
"So take me to see the drain." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay, follow me!" The guard led the way, and Li Yuanhong followed behind. Although there were few obstacles in the swamp, Li Yuanhong wanted to avoid the exploration of the swamp city, so he had to walk more. It took more than half an hour before Li Yuanhong came to the drain.
The drain is made of stone. The opening is small, only as wide as one person. If you are a little fatter, you can't get in. Wastewater kept flowing out of the sewer, a stinking smell, which could be smelled from far away, of course, the question in this swamp was not much better.
"Is there?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"Yes, it's there. I just don't know what's in this sewer." The guard replied.
"Well, the night you are guarding here, I will sneak in and check it out."
"Brother Li, let me go. I have stealth skills and it's easy to sneak in."
"No need to argue, those werewolves are still lizardmen. Their sense of smell is better than their eyes. Your invisibility may not be effective for them." Li Yuanhong shook his head and rejected the guard's suggestion. After all, he has many skills to escape, and it really happened. Accidentally, Li Yuanhong could still escape for his life.
