Lord of Lowland

Chapter 84 Entering the Swamp
Unable to withstand Palak's solicitude, Princess Ailelia decided to take a rest at the Duke of Sheffield's Mansion before setting out on the road. After all, she had to pass through a place called the Tianyu Swamp. The entire swamp was more than ten kilometers long, and there was no way to get in or out. Without supplies, it was not impossible to take a detour, but if we took a detour, everyone around would be basically supportive of the eldest prince Menshua. Compared to this risk, Elelia obviously preferred walking through the swamp.

At the Duke's Palace, the group received excellent supplements. As a member of the lower-level entourage, Cecil was treated to smoked chicken, ham and white bread. The Duke even rewarded everyone with 100 gold coins.Cecil felt that he was too diligent. Cecil and others did not dare to eat the things given by Palak. They waited until the priests of the Temple of Life confirmed that there were no problems before everyone started to feast. The sea drank up.

After having enough wine and food, the group rested for another night.In the early morning of the next day, before setting off from the Duke's Palace, Parake graciously came out to see them off in person, and sent several people who were familiar with the terrain to act as guides to lead everyone through the Tianyu Swamp.

The entire Tianyu Swamp is a large swamp area, and it is also one of the places where wild monsters appear in the entire Lovalan continent. When Cecil was planning to travel around the continent to kill monsters and level up, this was also one of the ideal areas in the plan.There are very powerful species and monsters here. Compared to elementary scenes like Chengguang Forest, Tianyu Swamp is definitely no joke. All kinds of dragons, flies, lizards and beasts appear in this large swamp. There are even legends about the depths of the swamp. There may be a legendary hydra, which even a legendary level expert would never dare to provoke.

Of course, this kind of creature only exists in legends. In reality, there are not many people who live in the Tianyu Swamp for their livelihood. There are also many strong people who come here to kill swamp creatures and experience themselves. No one really saw it. This legendary creature.And even if there were such creatures in the depths of the swamp, the marching team was not worried. They only needed to cross along the edge of the swamp, and didn't need to really come into contact with this monster.

The group of people entered the swamp quite smoothly. The only obstacles in front of them were some low-level demon wolves and lizards. It might be a bit difficult for ordinary trialists, but for this elite team, it was indeed not difficult at all.It's no wonder that someone with an average level of less than 60 is so quick in front of this team.

Gradually, the marching team reached 3 kilometers, and suddenly found that it was a land of low bushes, and the only road was full of mud. Originally, this situation was not surprising in the swamp, but the strange thing was that here it was. No trace of wild monsters at all.Not to mention the wild monsters we just encountered that could be cleaned up by hand, not even a fly could be seen, and there was an aura of death in front of them.

The Holy Order Priest George in the team ordered the team to stop and sent out scouts to detect ahead.And use the specialized skills of the Temple of Life to perceive whether there is any existence around that can pose a threat to them.

Cecil also took the opportunity to take a rest, and suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "Master, you have been poisoned."

Cecil was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked his demon pet: "We are poisoned there? How did you notice it? Why didn't the transferred priests of the Temple of Life feel it?"

"Those priests usually only know how to do things behind closed doors. The techniques for using poison in actual combat are not as simple as they imagined. You have been plotted since you were dining at the Duke's Mansion." Iris said lazily.

Cecil was surprised and said: "There is nothing wrong with the meal at the Duke's Palace. You said that the personnel of the Temple of Life have no actual combat experience, but their technology in detecting poisonous substances is unquestionable."

Elise sneered and said: "The technique is indeed good, but he is just a bit stupid. Who would do such a substandard thing as directly poisoning? Of course, first put some datura flower seeds in the food, and then mix them with the purple flowers here. The combination of wood stems has the effect of poisoning. Master, don't you feel that your physical strength is losing quickly? It seems that your resistance to magic is very high, but you have no resistance to poison."

After Elis reminded him, Cecil also felt that his physical loss seemed to be much happier than usual, and he was shocked.But Iris came to comfort him at this time: "But master, don't be too alarmed. This kind of poison is designed to poison the enemy unconsciously, so the toxicity is not strong. For example, the one you are suffering from now will not only make you There are no other side effects other than the accelerated decline in physical strength."

When Cecil looked at the template, he saw that it was indeed the case, and there was nothing really uncomfortable about him.He took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then why does that little Duke put so much effort into doing something like this?"

"Who knows, but usually there are backhands in this kind of thing. Generally speaking, reducing your physical strength is to assassinate you." Elis said lazily as before.

Before he finished speaking, Cecil felt hundreds of green eyes staring at them in the surrounding bushes.The oppressive feeling of this aura is becoming more and more obvious. Cecil can feel it, and many other people naturally feel it too, especially Lord Osmond. He has been in danger several times in actual combat and has a sense of danger. Instinctive sharp response.

He immediately ordered everyone to be on alert, but he immediately felt that his physical strength was draining faster than usual. In fact, it had reached the legendary level. Normally, he did not lose much physical strength, and the effect of this poison on his body was minimal.But with his keen perception, he still felt that the speed of his physical loss was not right.

"Everyone, please be vigilant and pay attention to your physical condition."

Before the great knight's words fell to the ground, there was a heart-pounding howling sound from the bushes, followed by the sound of howling wolves all around the team.

As soon as Cecil heard this sound, he knew the type of wolf, which was the ferocious night wolf he had encountered in Chengguang Forest.He was reassured and suspicious at the same time. He was reassured because this species was only a kind of wild monster above level 25. With the quality of his team, tens of thousands of these wolves were not a problem. What he was suspicious about was this. The thing itself is a wild monster that appears in the woods. It is not a species that should exist in the Tianyu swamp at all. It suddenly appeared in this place. It must be driven by the person who tamed it. So who is the tamer behind the scenes? Why do you want to do this, and what is the purpose?
