Chapter 035 Pig Man
Along the way, all the wizard apprentices Gawain met looked at them in surprise. During this period, there were a few who wanted to strike up a conversation, but he ignored them.
After arriving at the edge of the Death Swamp, Gawain put a [Water Barrier] on himself and walked along a path to the depths of the swamp. His thin figure was gradually submerged in the light mist.
...
Not long after entering the Death Swamp, Skeleton II, who was walking in front, was suddenly covered by a large net, and two frightened crows immediately flew up from Gawain's shoulders.
Gawain stopped and looked alert, and soon noticed a basin-sized spider crawling out of its nest beside the path. The spider was covered in gray and black down.
If not moving, it almost blends in with its surroundings.
"Crypt Spider!"
Gawain recognized the attacking monster and felt relieved. He saw that the skeleton was still tearing at the spider web and was already unable to do anything, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at the crawling crypt spider and ordered:
"Kill it!"
"Quack~~"
The two crows in the sky responded immediately, screaming strangely and swooping down at the spider. The crypt spider was not afraid and opened its mouth and spit out a ball of white gelatin into the air.
The two crows hurriedly dodged and started fighting with the spider.
Gawain relied on his protection, but he was not afraid.
He took two steps quickly, reached out and pulled out the one-handed sword hanging from his waist, and threw it into the air. He was immediately held by an invisible big hand in the air. As Gawain stretched his arm forward, the one-handed sword struck the ground from top to bottom. The cave spider was nailed to the ground.
“Jiji~~~”
The crypt spider let out a piercing scream and struggled violently. Before it could break free, two crows had already taken the opportunity to pounce on it and scratched wildly. They killed the crypt spider in a few scratches and spread thick green mucus all over the floor.
"Shashasha~~"
"Shashasha~~"
At this time, there were strange sounds all around.
Gawain looked intently and saw little spiders crawling out of their nests, spreading on the ground like sewage, and they were so densely packed.
"The old ones are dead, let alone you gadgets."
Gawain was unmoved, and he pressed his right hand, and the invisible [Mage's Hand] fell with a "bang", not only crushing hundreds of little spiders to death, but also leaving a huge slap mark.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Gawain took three more shots in a row, and large areas of little spiders died, and the remaining little spiders immediately dispersed.
"Quack~~"
After the two crows swallowed the eyes of the burrowing spider, they immediately pounced on them, eating the small spiders that had escaped, and chirped happily.
"return."
Gawain shouted to the crow, and controlled the [Mage's Hand] to remove the spider web wrapped around Skeleton No. 2. After checking, he found that the skeleton was intact, but the three pots of food trees he was holding were slightly damaged.
He simply picked off all the meat steaks hanging on the barbecue steak tree, opened the crocodile skin box, took out a few spare large clay pots, and stuffed all the meat steaks into them for storage.
After sealing, it was packed into the suitcase together with the food tree.
This makes it a lot more convenient.
The crocodile skin box is stored in the stomach pouch, and cannot store living things or flesh and blood. However, several food trees are modified plants that do not rely on sunlight and air, but directly absorb energy particles from the sky and the earth.
Therefore, in theory it is possible to survive in a suitcase.
After doing this, Gawain dissected the corpse of the burrowing spider and harvested two materials, namely [Crypt Spider Fangs] and [Crypt Spider Silk Glands].
Whether it is refining potions or making magic items, it may be used. If it is sold, one or two magic stones should be sold.
He put the materials away and let Skeleton II explore the path ahead, continuing through the Death Swamp. The rune stone carvings that were the symbols of the peripheral members of the [Bronze Oath] hung around his waist, and they flashed a few times from time to time.
All powerful monsters contracted by the Bronze Oath will take the initiative to avoid them.
Even so.
Gawain walked through this journey, still surrounded by dangers.
Among them, the most encountered ones were crypt spiders and disgusting mire monsters. Fortunately, Gawain had good skills and was protected by the [Water Barrier].
After half a day's delay, we finally walked out of the Death Swamp and entered the peripheral foggy area.
With the guidance of the rune stone carvings, Gawain easily passed through the fog and finally left the Bronze Oath. He was about to find a place to hide and wait for the mysterious disaster to pass.
The fog behind him suddenly billowed.
Gawain's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly hid behind a broken stone pillar.
"Hahaha~~"
The fog was still billowing, laughter had already sounded, and then a figure walked out of the fog.
The other person is short in stature, but has a strong build.
He was carrying a huge mace and smashed the hammer head on the ground. The soil rippled up, and a solid [Earth Armor] quickly formed on his body. As soon as he stepped on it, his hands and feet suddenly expanded in a circle. , and suddenly displayed another [Brute Force Technique].
"It's such a fascinating feeling."
The opponent twisted his thick neck, cast his gaze on the stone pillar where Gawain was hiding, and roared with a loud voice: "Stop hiding Piggy, the great gray dwarf Legat will blow your head off."
Seeing that Gawain didn't show up for a long time, Legat's face became angry and he rushed over with a mace in hand:
"The lightness of the wind!"
Halfway through the run, a strong wind whipped up and lifted Legat into the air. He stepped on the cave wall and ran wildly. His speed increased a lot in an instant. He reached the stone pillar in two steps and hammered down hard with his hammer. .
"Boom~~"
The hammer head collided with the stone pillar, and the powerful force directly smashed the stone pillar, and a figure crawling on the ground hurriedly got up.
"Lowly human race!"
Legat snorted contemptuously, and before the figure could get up, the nail hammer had already fallen. With a "crack" sound of bones breaking, the figure flew out like a broken sack, knocking down a piece of the cave wall.
After rolling down, he actually stumbled and climbed up again.
Just as Legat was about to add another hammer, he suddenly saw Gawain's figure in front of him and was a little stunned for a moment.
Gawain stood in the distance holding a short bow, with the [Water Barrier] already on him. He frowned and looked at Legat, puzzled:
"It seems that you are also a wizard apprentice of the Bronze Oath, and you are also a middle-level wizard apprentice. You and I are in the same organization. I have no hatred against you. Why do you want to kill me?"
Legat showed a shameful expression on his face and roared: "How can a lowly pigman be with the noble gray dwarf!"
After that, he rushed towards Gawain at an incredible speed.
"Swoosh~~"
"Swoosh~~"
"Swoosh~~"
Gawain pulled the short bow and shot three arrows in a row, all of which were easily avoided by Legat.
He estimated the opponent's speed and gave up the plan to release [Five Consecutive Ice Arrows] immediately. He just stood there and continued to shoot with the short bow. When the opponent failed to dodge in time, he finally shot an arrow, but the feather arrow hung on the [Earth Armor] like a branch, and even the defense could not be broken.
"The arrows you shoot are as soft as a woman's breastplate."
Legat laughed wantonly, stepped on the dust and rushed to Gawain, then suddenly stopped, swung the mace to hit Gawain's head, and roared:
"Go to hell!"
Before the hammer head fell, Gawain suddenly fell.
Legat was slightly stunned, and was about to continue to hit, but suddenly widened his eyes in fear, and saw five ice arrows as thick as forearms that Gawain had been hiding behind his back.
"Swoosh~~~"
"Swoosh~~~"
"Swoosh~~~"
Before Legat could dodge, the ice arrows had already shot at him.
"No~~"
Legat screamed, and smashed the hammer to the ground, and the clever shock wave stirred up large pieces of dust, and the area of nearly ten meters was covered by dust.
Gawain hurriedly withdrew from the range of the dust, and two crows that were ready to ambush also flew over.
