   Chapter 621 One hundred and ninety-eight. Return to the Swamp Road

  In the early morning, the blood-colored fog on the streets was thinner.

   The blood-colored dandelion that went south is finally about to leave the sky above Flalund City.

   The lower cities in the south are ready: they have erected huge torches on the city walls that can stop dandelions, and kerosene and wood chips flow in the converted gullies of the streets. Doors and windows were blocked and food, coal and firewood were hoarded. Although disaster is inevitable, it will not be destroyed like the city of Flarend.

   There are also villages and towns who feel that they cannot resist the surging dandelion, and choose to leave their homeland with their families and settle in towns that will not be passed by the dandelion.

   But at this time, these have nothing to do with Lu Li and Anna.

   The southward carriage swayed gently along the road. They left from Tower Wind City not long ago, said goodbye to York and others who had temporarily decided to stay, and took Lilia back to the Ellen Peninsula.

   Shymfast was too far away, and York and the sick and old in the procession had to assess whether it was time to make the long journey—though the dandelions were coming.

  Ampere was also brought along, but because it would cause riots around town or on the roads, Anna had it follow the carriage in the distance.

   "Miss Anna seems to be a lot more cheerful."

   The wrinkles at the corners of Lilia's eyes became deep, even though she knew that Anna was a ghost... But what old man doesn't like to see young love?

   is still shrouded in dark clouds and there is no hope.

   Throughout noon, Lilia noticed that Anna kept looking at Lu Li affectionately...as if she could never see enough.

  Whoa—

  Lu Li put down today's newspaper and calmly looked at Anna across the carriage.

  Ana responded with a slight wink.

   Before that, Anna would continue to watch quietly without noticing, and before that, she would pretend to ignore it and look away and secretly look back.

Sarah's memory will inevitably affect Anna, and even when she wakes up from the boundless entanglement and chaos, she will pause for a while when she calls Lu Li's name—for those two hundred years of memory, the name "Adam" is even more conspicuous. She is familiar and used to it.

  Fortunately, Lu Li's words and Anna's will before her consciousness fell into the depths made her like a reef in the waves, firm in her consciousness, and did not collapse and disintegrate in Sarah's long experience.

  Anna is still Anna, but this parchment has a lot more content, some good and some bad.

   Lu Li continued to read the newspaper. In addition to the shocking and terrifying hurricane-like fall of King Ellen, the news of Flalund City and the **** dandelion going south also appeared in the newspapers.

The towns of the Serenity Plain were wailing, because the dandelion group became more dispersed after passing through the city of Flalend, and there was a tendency to spread across the entire plain. People who have seen the destruction of blood-colored dandelions know that a single dandelion can also bring great trouble. .

  People can only hope that in the northern part of the quiet plain, the newly formed rain clouds of the Therma Mountains will arrive as soon as possible, and they will drop these troublesome little things before they can encroach on the whole plain.

  If not, these dandelions may continue south after ravaging most of the tranquil plains, reaching the deciduous mountains to the east, across the mountains from the Ellen Peninsula.

  Simfast and the rest of the Ellen Peninsula don't need to worry for the time being, the climate on the mainland is usually difficult to affect the peninsula, and even if it can, the sea breeze will blow them back the same way.

   In the evening, the outline of the low-lying deciduous mountains emerges in the distance, and the dry and cold air begins to become wet and cold, with the breath of the sea breeze.

  Lu Li was the first to discover this. He first set foot here on the soil of the Ellen Peninsula, and spent most of his time there... The sea breeze in the air seemed to welcome him home.

  Anna also raised her head slightly and sniffed, and then showed some loss, but she still couldn't feel anything.

   Fortunately, Sarah's long memory is like an extremely heavy book, and it is as real as a dream. Anna can read it at any time and feel the emotions in it.

   Occasionally, you will meet fellow travelers on the road, their carriages are full of luggage, and then turn left into the fork after approaching the town of leaves and part ways.

   They also tried to dissuade Lu Li from taking the swamp road - there had been rumors of a terrifying change. Thirty miles to the east there is a small port, from which you can take a boat around the swamp to the Ellen Peninsula.

   And soon, the three of Lu Li in the carriage saw the change of the swamp road just before night fell.

   When they passed a few days ago, the terrifying groves of the North Shadowswamp had stretched halfway down the Swamp Road, encroaching on the territory of the Swamp Mother.

   And this time, their invasion was more thorough, and the whole swamp road was shrouded in twisted and strange them. The slender and dense dead branches are like dry arms, sharply grasping the southern shadow swamp on the other side of the swamp road.

  The horse pulling the carriage was restless and resisted stepping into this low swampy road where the sky was completely shrouded in dead branches.

  The Swamp Mother seems powerless to resist the awakening horrors of the Northern Shadowswamp.

   So Lu Li retreated to the outside of Fallen Leaf Town, took off the carriage and put it on Ampei, returned to the town to return the horse to the car dealership, and headed to Marsh Road again.

   It’s just that the swamp road was occupied by Dry Claws this time, making it impassable, so they could only step straight into the damp and dark swamp.

  The Swamp Mother discovered them from the very beginning—the shadowy silhouettes and the sparsely crawling six-legged people emerged from the shadowy dead woods.

  Ampere stopped in front of a shadowy figure, and Lu Li said to the swamp mother behind it, "I brought what you asked for, and someone else."

  Yingchuoren didn't answer, just hid behind the tree again, and then appeared in the depths of the swamp dozens of meters away.

  Ampere followed, walking through the quagmire and dead trees.

   Ten minutes later, the withered dense banyan forest appeared in front.

   Their hanging branches no longer have faceless figures in white dresses. As they approached, the banyan trees guarding the center of the swamp like the stars and the moon moved—the fallen branches moved to avoid them, forming a dark arch leading straight to the center of the swamp,

They seem to like Lu Li very much. They lightly touch the corner of Lu Li's clothes with the end of the branch to release goodwill. This should be related to human nature. Destroying Sarah and Adam brought a lot of humanity to Lu Li. After being amplified by the Doomsday Revelation... Lu Li now has 12 part of humanity.

   When he left the refuge a few days ago, he only had 2 copies.

   This forced Anna to release the aura of resentment in order to cover up Lu Li's vitality that was diametrically opposed to this despairing world.

   Pass through the banyan forest and the swamp stream where the "whale" once stranded, and the huge banyan tree in the center of the southern swamp is all in front of you.

  Lilia looked at the huge banyan tree, her cloudy eyes filled with shock and a hint of flinch—

  Under the dark tree hole, a silhouette in a black robe walked out silently.

   "They said...you brought back what I wanted..." Mixed with countless whispers, the voice of the Swamp Mother sounded from under the black robe.
