Chapter 5: Swamp Station
"Huh?" Tang Lin looked at him, "Last time you went to hunt down the thousand-year-old tree demon, did you succeed?"
Hong Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I really want to tell you this. Last time we went hunting, although warriors went there and brought a lot of talismans you sold us, the power of the thousand-year-old tree demon was really beyond compare.
Unexpectedly, the warrior we invited almost died in the hands of this monster. There has been some instability in the misty swamp recently. If you go there, you'd better be careful."
Tang Lin's eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded: "I understand, thank you for reminding me, I'll leave first."
"Be careful." Hong Cheng said worriedly.
Tang Lin waved his hand, left the Red Carp Gang, and then walked towards the city gate along the way. He quickly passed the inspection of the guards and left Longxiang City.
A wide moat and a turbulent river.
Tang Lin looked at the green mountains in the distance and felt a sense of soaring comfort in his heart. This was the first time he had left Longxiang City since he was a child.
"The Misty Swamp is to the west of Longxiang City, thirty kilometers ahead." Tang Lin followed the geography records taught by the academy, and after leaving the densely populated city gate, he displayed his fast movement skills in a remote place, leaping around like a monkey.
Mountain jungle.
"There are mountains everywhere outside, and there are wild beasts hidden inside. Hunters should often come here to hunt." Tang Lin was running through the mountains, climbing with his palms among the trees and vines. Suddenly, when he held his palms, he felt cold and slippery. He looked up.
, a green vine that he grabbed turned out to be a poisonous snake!
"Hmph!" With a little force, his fingers pinched the seven inches of the poisonous snake.
Click!
There was a sound of bones breaking, and the venomous snake immediately softened, with its tail still twisting, and was thrown away by Tang Lin.
"Fortunately, when I left, I listened to Xiao Hui's words and refined a few detoxifying pills. I don't have to be afraid at all when encountering ordinary poisonous snake monsters." Tang Lin smiled in his heart and quickly climbed over the mountain and headed towards the misty swamp.
It didn't take long for Tang Lin to arrive at the outskirts of the misty swamp. Running all the way consumed a lot of his energy. He was sweating all over. He stopped on a hillside and looked from a distance. He saw a small village in an open area, like
It is a temporary inn.
"Huh?" Tang Lin was curious, and after a few sprints, he ran outside the inn. He saw people walking together on several nearby roads and walking into the inn.
Tang Lin found that most of the people coming and going were men, with strong bodies, either tall and lean, or lean and capable. Everyone was wearing leather or armor, and carrying various weapons in their hands.
Tang Lin walked in along with the crowd and found that although the inn was small, it was well-equipped. There were several blacksmith shops, craftsmen's shops, and leather sewing shops, as well as teahouses and taverns for people to rest. People were coming and going on the streets inside.
, Xixi shouted, there are many street stalls, and the things sold on them are all kinds of strange.
"The teeth of dogs and tigers, three or two, are excellent materials for forging daggers. There are only three last ones. Someone wants them away."
"Blood wolf skins, twelve pieces each, come and take a look..."
Tang Lin looked along the shouting stalls and saw white teeth three inches long, stained with blood. They had obviously been sold here not long after they were obtained from the beast. And the bloody wolf skin
, it even exuded a strong smell of blood, dyeing the fabrics of the stalls red.
"Father said that some martial arts students specialize in hunting beasts to make money after practicing martial arts. I didn't expect there to be so many. However, my father always said that practicing martial arts is just to strengthen the body, not for killing or fighting." Tang Lin looked excited and looked around.
Everything, as well as the faint scent of blood in the air, seemed to make the pores all over his body open.
"Is there anyone? We are the Red Carp Gang and we need two senior martial arts students to go hunting in the swamp." On a high platform, several young men with a red carp embroidered on their chests shouted loudly.
When people around heard that it was the Red Carp Gang, many people immediately gathered over.
"Where's the kid?" Several people passing by Tang Lin glanced at him, and someone said to Tang Lin: "Kid, are you lost, or has your home been robbed by a wild beast? Do you want me to escort you home?"
In a place like this, businessmen often resell their goods, only to be robbed by wild beasts, so this young man asked this question.
Tang Lin shook his head and said, "I'm here to hunt."
"Hunting?" The man noticed the rough leather on his body and couldn't help laughing: "Kid, your parents didn't care about you. You went hunting at such a young age. Do you know that wild beasts are very dangerous?"
Tang Lin didn't want to say any more and turned to look to the side.
At this time, the shouting young men from the Red Lig Gang suddenly saw Tang Lin. One of them rubbed his eyes vigorously and realized that he had not seen it wrong. He was stunned for a long time and quickly pushed aside the crowd and crowded towards Tang Lin.
come over.
"Mr. Tang, why are you here? Are you here to hunt?" The young man looked at Tang Lin in surprise.
"Who are you?" Tang Lin looked at him doubtfully, as if he didn't know this person.
"I was once on duty as a guard, and I saw you before." The young man said happily: "I heard that you drove our Captain Crazy Ax to the point where he was helpless, and the gang leader praised you as a young hero!"
Tang Lin touched his nose.
It seems that what happened that day has spread widely.
"Mr. Tang, please come with us." The young man looked at Tang Lin expectantly and said, "We are very experienced in hunting in the wild and we will definitely be able to help you. The gang leader said that if you meet Tang Lin outside,
Young Master, no matter what your request is, we will try our best to fulfill it."
Tang Lin thought of Hongxue, his eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said: "I want to go out on my own and let's get together again if we have the chance in the future."
The young man was a little disappointed, but he still said with a smile: "That's okay, Mr. Tang, my name is Zhang Lang. If you need anything, just give me my orders."
"Yeah." Tang Lin nodded.
The wolf said a few words and then left, returned to the high platform and continued to shout.
After he left, the eyes of the people around him fell on Tang Lin, secretly writing down his appearance. Most of the people here hang out frequently, and many people are familiar with each other. Tang Lin's new face, plus
Zhang Lang's words let them know that this is a master they cannot mess with!
Zhang Lang and others quickly gathered people. Since they are the Red Carp Gang and have full prestige, there is no chance of them being framed by their own people during hunting, so everyone is willing to join.
Tang Lin walked around the inn and prepared to leave the inn and head to the misty swamp.
"Kid, are you here to hunt?" A girl in red with a sweet smile, carrying a scimitar on her back, stood in front of Tang Lin.
A kind smile and beautiful cheeks, these two things always make people feel good. But Tang Lin just glanced at her, shook his head, and left.
The girl in red was startled. She looked at Tang Lin's leaving back, bit her lip slightly, turned around and walked to an alley, and said inside: "The kid won't be fooled. There is no other way. Let's go hunting."
"This kid is very smart, and the honey trap actually failed." Someone inside chuckled.
"Huh!" the girl in red said angrily.
…
After leaving the inn, walking only about a kilometer or two, we reached the misty swamp.
Tang Lin looked up and saw that the green dead trees were blocking the sunlight, and the swamp was filled with a gloomy feeling, making people feel gloomy.
"The training has begun." Tang Lin carried the bag on his back and put Xiao Hui and some items inside.
Whoosh!
The figure flashed and jumped into the swamp.
"According to the book, the most common things in the swamp are mire and poisonous snakes. It's my first time here and I don't know the map. It's best not to go on land." Tang Lin thought to himself.
He jumped up, landed on a large branch like a feather, and quickly swept towards the depths of the swamp.
"There are too many people hunting outside. I'm going to look for monsters inside." Tang Lin sped up and jumped between the big branches, heading straight into the depths of the swamp.
About a few kilometers forward.
"Huh?" Tang Lin suddenly stopped and landed on the branches of the forest. His movements made no sound. He looked towards the muddy puddle under the big tree and saw a gray plate like a dead wood bulging inside.
Looking from the angle of the quagmire, he would only think it was a wooden board, but from the big tree, Tang Lin could see clearly that it was a giant marsh crocodile.
"It's just a beast." Tang Lin shook his head, "It's too weak. I want to practice ninety-nine dragon patterns. Xiao Hui said that it must be done with the blood of monsters. The more powerful the blood of monsters, the more powerful the dragon patterns will be.
The bigger.”
He simply walked away and continued moving forward.
…
Beside a waterfall, clear spring trickles.
A little deer was drinking water by the spring. The little deer had two curved antlers on its head and was covered with colorful markings, which was beautiful.
Tang Lin fell from the tree into the grass nearby. He was a little surprised when he saw the deer beside the waterfall and said: "There is such a herbivore here. Could it be a monster transformation?"
"It's not a change of monster." Xiao Hui made a muffled voice in the bag, "It was originally a monster, this is its original appearance. The patterns on its body are not patterns, but eyes. This monster's name is 'Pao'.
It runs very fast. Look at the deer antler on the top of this 'Pa''s head. It only has three prongs, so it should be three hundred years old."
"Can I deal with it?" Tang Lin whispered.
Although it is said that a warrior in the living realm can deal with monsters with thousands of years of experience, different monsters have different powers and abilities. Some monsters only need to practice for a few hundred years, and they are more terrifying than those monsters that have practiced Taoism for thousands of years.
"In terms of strength, it can't beat you, and in terms of speed, you are not as good as it." Xiao Hui whispered: "It depends on your luck."
"Yeah." Tang Lin stared at the 'pi'.
The moment it lowers its head to drink water——
Whoosh!
The body shot out suddenly like an arrow from the string.
