Chapter 636: Wonders of the swamp

Ahead is the swamp land in the south of Crimson Land, the hometown of the black tooth snake.
This place is close to the endless sea, the terrain is low-lying, and it is often inverted by sea water. Therefore, the ground water network is vertical and horizontal. Many weird plants rely on this salty and wet environment to survive, forming a dangerous place full of light red fishy mist.
Luo Lin's Allied Forces of the God of War came all the way to the swamp's edge. They were attacked and had to pause to establish a camp.
Although the gods can quickly build strong and safe camps with the help of their divine power, this will consume a lot of force and is not a cost-effective business. Therefore, this kind of temporary sentry is built by the soldiers cutting down the swamp plants bit by bit. .
There are more than two thousand coalition forces, and the camp is very large. Although it is only temporary, it takes three days to complete the construction. During this time, a large number of scouts sneak into the swamp to investigate the internal situation.
The poisonous gas is rampant in the swamp, and ordinary scouts can hardly hold on for a long time. They have to retreat at the most for more than 50 miles. After only half a day, the situation around the camp has been basically proven. There are some dangerous beasts, but there are no black-toothed snakemen. Mark of.
The black tooth snake man is the overlord of this swamp and the main target of the coalition forces to pursue and suppress. And here is the opponent's home court. If you can't find your opponent and don't understand the opponent's situation, the camp is always in danger.
For this reason, Luo Lin formed a first condemnation army composed of twenty elite fighters, personally led the team with his right-hand incarnation of a of war, and touched the depths of the swamp all the way.
On the first day, Luo Lin led the team deep into more than 100 kilometers, and did not see the black-toothed snakeman all day. Until the evening, when the blood-red sun in the sky was about to set, the front finally There was something similar to a campsite.
A few scouts sneaked close, circled around the camp, and then came back to report: "Master, it is indeed a camp, with a nest built of vegetation. But no one was seen, it seems to have been abandoned."
"Abandoned?" Luo Lin thought for a while and decided to enter this lair to see what happened.
Everyone quickly reached the entrance of the lair, where there is a small lake. The nest was built around this lake, mixed with dead branches, vines, leaves, grass stems and so on. There is only a roof for sheltering from rain and shading, but underneath is a muddy ground. You can see many snake-shaped traces on the mud. . But the traces are blurry, and it's obviously been some time.
Luo Lin felt it carefully for a while, but didn't find any breath of life in the lair. The scouts beside him also carefully checked, and after confirming that there were no traps around, a group of people entered the lair.
The small lake in the center of the nest is about 20 meters wide. The water inside is very clear. You can see the bottom at a glance. Throw a stone into it and make a ‘gudong’ sound. From the timbre, it is roughly four meters deep.
After walking around the lake, there were no creatures in the lake, like aquatic plants and fish, not to mention the black tooth snake man.
"Master, there are a lot of traces of the lives of black-toothed snakes in the lair, but none of them have found this." A scout walked over and reported that he was holding a brown egg in his hands, which was about the size of a basketball. A hole in the eggshell was broken, and a very smelly breath came out, making people vomit to smell it, and the surrounding soldiers instinctively covered their noses.
Luo Lin also held his breath. Ask the scout to put the egg on the ground, and use the sword to open the opening in the egg shell. With a'crash', an extremely foul smell of rotting rushed out. At the same time, there was a large amount of thick green liquid flowing out. The soldiers instinctively stepped back.
Luo Lin provoked a few more times with the sword. The contents of the eggshell were completely revealed. It was a snake-man embryo that died halfway through. What is peculiar is that its body did not rot, but it appeared a little tight and swollen. It seemed that there was power in the body to prop up his body. , On the surface of this swollen body, we can vaguely see many strange rune traces. These traces did not appear naturally, but they seemed to be engraved on the day after tomorrow.
These runes are very peculiar, and Luo Lin didn’t recognize them either. There was a faintly flowing breath on the runes, giving Luo Lin an extremely strong sense of swallowing darkness, like an abyss. Upon careful perception, this fierce feeling suddenly charged On, even Luo Lin felt a trance in his mind.
"Very evil rune, this rune seems to have swallowed all the essence and spirituality of the snake man larva. But why does the snake man do such cruel things to his larva?" Luo Lin was puzzled.
"Could it be the eggs of other snake-men tribes?" A scout guessed that the black-toothed snakemen in the swamp were also divided into many tribes, similar to the situation in the withered plains, and the tribes were often feuds.
"There is a possibility"
Before Luo Lin finished speaking, he heard a warrior who was carefully investigating the lair suddenly let out a changed exclamation. The soldier flew out of a lair abruptly, his face pale, and there was a deep horror on it. The color.
"What's the matter!?" Luo Lin rushed over.
The soldier was already holding his chest and began to vomit. While spitting, he pointed to the inside of the lair. Although he could not speak, the horror on his face had told everyone that there was something extremely tragic in the lair.
Luo Lin's heart is also tight. These scouts have seen big scenes, and ordinary things can't scare them at all. What is in this lair that makes a soldier who is almost indifferent to life and death have such a violent reaction?
He was mentally prepared and took a few scouts into the biggest lair.
This nest is a little different from others. Its roof is semi-circular, covering all sides. There is a lot of space inside, about three meters high and ten meters long and wide. The ground is also moist and mud, and the air is filled with a smell similar to the snake egg just now. The more you go in, the stronger the smell. When you get to the innermost point, the eyes of people who almost choked with this smell are a little bit painful. .
The light here is very gloomy. Luo Lin used a simple light technique. Under the shining light, you can see an opened hole. The hole is about one meter square, and the strong stench comes from this hole.
Luo Lin glanced into the hole, and immediately understood why the soldier was so gaffe. Even with his concentration, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the whole person took a step back subconsciously.
The soldiers next to him glanced inside, and at one glance, several soldiers retreated back and forth, their faces pale, and some of the soldiers were the same as the previous ones. Began to gag.
The entrance to this cave is not big, but it is a small hole with a big cavity. In the cavity inside, there are at least a hundred black-toothed snake people piled up. There were adult soldiers, women, and children, all of whom had rotted, and pus had accumulated on the ground. The common features of these corpses are staring round eyes, sunken cheeks, and bursting pupils. They must have experienced unspeakable pain before they died. The skin of each snake man was scratched, and it was scratched by themselves and exposed. The bones were ripped out of the intestines, and they were scattered everywhere. Some people even chewed their own flesh in their mouths.
This scene directly refreshed everyone's impression of the abyss.
After this initial sensory shock. Luo Lin couldn't help thinking, "Who did this? Is it the cannibalism between snakes and men? Or is there something terrible in this swamp?"
One by one mystery poured into Luo Lin's mind, but there was no answer, all he needed clues.
"Huh", Luo Lin, who forced himself to observe the horrible corpse cave, suddenly discovered something abnormal. He found that in the center of the horrible corpse, there was a black bead the size of a thumb.
The bead is very inconspicuous. The reason why it attracted Luo Lin's attention was that it was ‘growing’, and it seemed to draw something from the corpse.
It does not grow fast. But it was not too slow, Luo Lin squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and was surprised to find that the surface of the black pillar seemed to have a strange rune similar to that of the larva in the snake egg.
As if unwilling to be observed, the black beads began to shrink into the depths of the corpse cave. It seems to be running away.
Luo Lin felt that the bead had a peculiar relationship with the snake egg outside. When he thought of it, his divine power surged out, forming a bare hand, reaching into the hole, and grabbing the black bead. Then pull it out.
In the abyss, it is difficult for the divine power to use this kind of magic-like power. Luo Lin's move was still a method that began to be used because the divine power began to condense, but the restriction was still very large, and the power of this hand was very limited.
With this catch, Luo Lin felt that the black pillar was resisting his strength. He pulled back, but the black pillar fled inside. Luo Lin used all his strength to pull it out little by little.
As the black beads slowly left the pile of corpses, Luo Lin clearly saw the black connection between the beads and the corpses. For hundreds of corpses, there were hundreds of threads, which looked like black cobwebs.
As the distance between the beads and the pile of corpses widened, the resistance of the beads began to weaken, but the black thread still existed, without any break.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lin moved in his heart and said to the soldiers around him: "Go and get the young snake man outside."
"Yes, Lord." The scouts were anxious to leave this ghost place, and flew out. About a minute later, two scouts wrapped the rotting snake-man larva with grass stems and walked in.
"You stand back."
After everyone retreated, he also took out his sword to defend himself, then controlled the black bead and threw it into the body of the swollen snake man.
At this moment, a strange dark wave appeared in the air, and immediately afterwards, the snake man larva and the corpse pile in the cave began to change at the same time.
The body of the young snake man began to swell and grow rapidly, and the pile of corpses began to melt, melting like a candle, turning into yellow pus.
This change is really weird, Luo Lin shouted: "Stay back, stay away from him!"
At the same time, he held a sword in his hand, the sword energy surged, and the roof of the nest was blasted off with a'bang'. The light from outside shone in, and the surroundings immediately appeared empty. Everyone retreated far away, watching the snake from a distance. The weird changes of the larvae.
"Pick up all the weapons, prepare, and attack if you don't see it right!" Luo Lin ordered.
Ahead, the larva of the snake man has grown to more than two meters in length. The muscles on the body are knotted and appear very strong. The four arms on the body look very strong. This arm has no fingers. The end of the arm is naturally grown with weapons, all with barbs. Spikes.
About half a minute later, the pile of corpses has been completely consumed, and the larva of the snake man has grown to more than three meters high. His whole body began to squirm, and his arms began to waver, but it seemed chaotic. Steady, his eyes opened, but there was no expression in them, he looked like an idiot.
"This is a corpse refining ritual, and this snake egg is the crystallization of the essence of the corpse." Luo Lin understood, he deliberately tested the physical strength of the young snake man who grew up~EbookFREE.me~ He raised a sword, The sword light flashed and cut over.
With this sword, he used seven points of strength, and even the defense of the Abyssal Behemoth could be broken with such an attack.
"Puff~" There was a muffled sound like cracking of old cowhide. Looking at it, there was only a very inconspicuous crack on the surface of this guy's body, and the crack closed in a blink of an eye, looking intact.
"Crossbow!" Luo Lin was surprised at the body of the young snake man.
‘Beng Beng Beng! The scouts also attacked. The opponent didn't know how to hide. The crossbow arrow shot past, and then all of them were bounced off. They couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
"Good defense!" Everyone was very surprised.
This is just a product of a failed corpse refining ritual. What if it is a successful refining? Luo Lin felt a little bad.
"Subdued it and brought it back." Luo Lin ordered, if you want to deal with this kind of ghost, you must first understand it. (To be continued.)
