095, Where is the village at dusk

There are also lots of land exposed to the water in the swamp, and people will not fall when they step on it. Lush vegetation grows, like isolated islands, large or small. Since the water level does not retreat for a long time, the trees are not too high, and they are the hidden and habitat of many wild animals.

This is not the final landform after the flood recedes. It is surrounded by the black fire swamp in the west, the deep mountains of the Youdi River Valley in the east, the Assyrian Plateau in the north, and the Syrian Desert in the south, and the fertile soil of thousands of miles surrounded by the Syrian desert in the south, and it will take a few years to wait for the passage. Even so, it is not easy to get here.

Amon found a dry high slope exposed to the water, and used the Qi element magic to emit shock waves to scare away the beasts here, and then stopped the invisible ship in a smooth place. Seeing that Medanzo was still sitting quietly in the boat, he did not put away the space and took Schrödinger off the boat for food.

Amon grilled it with fresh snake meat, and he had all the seasonings he carried with him. He had been with Schrödinger for so long, but he didn't know what a cat liked to eat. Everything was made entirely according to human taste. Schrödinger seemed to enjoy the most delicious food in the world. In addition to meat, of course there was also fine wine. The best wine Amon bought when he left Meng Feisi.

Although Amon is not old and rarely drinks alcohol, his ability to appreciate wine is absolutely first-class. Duke Town once sold the best wines on the mainland, and his father is the most famous alcoholic in the town. So no matter the price or taste of the wine he bought is absolutely nothing, this is probably what satisfies Schrödinger the most.

In addition to barbecue and wine, Amon also cooked a pot of fragrant fruit and vegetable beef soup, which was made of meat floss made by magic tricks. This was his best cooking skill. Schrödinger hadn't eaten anything for almost three days, and he ate it very deliciously. At dusk, Medanzo finally opened his eyes, sniffed, stood up, walked off the ship and said, "God Amon, what's so fragrant? There's even wine! This will attract nearby monsters."

Amon smiled: "But Schrödinger is hungry, so he has to eat anyway. How are you recovering? If there is a monster, can you pass it off?"

Medanzo said with a bitter face: "After getting ashore, my power has been exhausted. I just recovered less than 10%. Of course, it is okay to deal with ordinary beasts. If it is a powerful monster, I can't stand it!... God Amon, I'll eat something first."

Schrödinger didn't need a glass to drink, but he just held the bottle and blew it. The fragrance of wine overflowed in the dusk and really attracted the monster - the legendary scorpion-tailed dragon.

This monster looks very much like a lizard and a crocodile, but its tail is very long, which accounts for almost half of the entire body length. The long tail sections seem to be a scorpion tail, with a point in an arc shape and a body size of about three feet. They have their heads emerging in the swamp, and they see the fire on the high slope but dare not approach it.

Medanzo had already scared the scorpion and the monster snake. He held a staff in one hand and the sword in the other for a long time before he found that these scorpion-tailed genus were very small and not a very aggressive animal. He sat down and drank the soup and sighed: "God Amon, tell me the legend of the ancient war of gods. The gods had created nine kinds of monsters, including the scorpion-tailed dragons, but I think these scorpion-tailed dragons are not very powerful, how could they participate in the war of gods?"

Schrödinger, who had his front paws holding the wine bottle, glared at Medanzo with a contempt look. However, Amon thought seriously for a long time before answering: "The scorpions we encountered in the desert are vulnerable in the battle of the gods, but the scorpion king Sishui is definitely qualified. I think so are the nine-headed snake Hongbaba. Some of the nine monsters created by the gods at that time have probably been eliminated in the battle of the gods, and even the surviving Hongbaba was later killed.

I have seen the descendants of Hongbaba in the Youdi River. It is a very terrifying mutant anaconda. The two-headed monster snake I encountered today is even more powerful, so it occupied the big lake. But I think not all the monster descendants are very fierce, unless we meet those nine monsters, such as the Scorpion King Sishui. I don’t know whether the Scorpion-tailed Dragon was still there at the time, but I have seen these Scorpion-tailed Dragons since I was a child. Like ordinary iron-armored beasts, it is not very terrible."

Medanzo slapped his thigh and said, "When you mention the iron armored beast, I remembered Yunmeng. Ordinary iron armored beasts are not very scary, but those mutated large iron armored beasts are very powerful, especially the iron armored beast king Yunmeng almost killed me and Link. Yunmeng is not a monster created by gods. It is the mutated iron armored beast king, with amazing power and even instinctive magic. I have an idea, don't know if it's right?"

Amon: "If you have any ideas, just say it."

Medanzo touched the back of his head and said, "The monsters such as Hombaba and Sishui may not have been created by gods. They are the mutant beast kings. Their original origin is similar to Yunmeng, and they have activated the instinct power of spiritual intelligence. It was the gods who discovered and trained them, just like the Scorpion King trained those giant scorpion legions, and made them fight. God Amon, have you also taught Yunmeng's physical skills and divine arts? Yunmeng can understand your words. Although he cannot learn various physical skills and divine arts like a human, he can train his talented power according to the methods you teach."

Amon nodded: "Your idea makes sense, but Yunmeng can't speak, and she can't become a human like the Scorpion King. If one day it may also turn into a human form, maybe it can systematically cultivate the power of both sides. I remember the Scorpion King once said that humans have bodies similar to gods, so it should be the most convenient to cultivate this power."

Speaking of this, Medanzo suddenly laughed, Amon glared at him and said, "You are smiling so strangely, what are you thinking? Why do I feel that it is not a good idea?"

Medanzo laughed and said, "I still don't know whether Yunmeng is a male or female. If one day he can change into a human form, whether it is a male or female, he can't learn from those scorpions and walk without wearing clothes. If there really is such a day, wouldn't you become the legendary ancient gods who make monsters?"

Amon also smiled: "I'm very curious, wait and see. This time I went to Link's tribe, I plan to let Link teach Yunmeng to write. It will be more convenient to learn more advanced magic in the future. I have seen the classics of the Transformation Magic in the Temple of Isis. Its basis is information magic. At the beginning, it was an illusion, but at a high level it was not only an illusion. I always feel that it was not for people to practice. If Yunmeng could learn it, I could give it a try."

Medanzo asked curiously: "Does the iron-armored beast also write? It can't speak yet!"

Amon: "You can try it. Yunmeng is the mutated iron armored beast king and can understand my words." At the same time, he glanced at Schrödinger and said in his heart: "This cat can't speak, but he can even write divine texts. Iron armored beasts are not impossible!"

Schrödinger was drinking happily with a bottle of wine. He ignored the conversation between the two people. Medanzo asked again: "God Amon, you haven't answered my question yet. I asked when I was fighting with the two-headed monster snake. That monster snake can also have magical skills, as powerful as its physical strength. Is it the one who practices the power of one body and two sides? Who taught it?"

Amon fell into deep thought and after a long time he replied: "Maybe it was just an awakening of instinct power. Yunmeng would also use skills similar to earth element magic. It was not the priests in the temple who taught them their power. They did not have systematic experience in classics, so it was extremely difficult to master power. On the other hand, they would not be bound by experience. They ignored what physical skills and divine skills were, but instead they were close to the cultivation of two-sided powers."

Medanzo frowned and said, "This was the case in Yunmeng at the beginning. Could it be that Hongbaba and the Scorpion King? If Yunmeng hadn't met you, he would have always been just an iron-armored beast in the pool."

Amon: "The Scorpion King and Homba may have been taught by the gods. They are not humans, and their paths of cultivation are different from those of humans. The so-called power of one body and two sides is just my summary. It doesn't matter what the name is. The gods do not want it to be publicly circulated in the world, so we must be careful."

Medanzo nodded and said, "I have always been very careful. Even if there is no flaw in front of Princess Xiao Qian, you should give Link a good advice. Actually, I have been thinking that the two-headed monster snake is really worth the death. If it doesn't chase us, everyone will be safe. It is not as good as the Scorpion King, at least it will negotiate."

Amon sighed and said, "It activated its simple intelligence, realized that it had mastered powerful power, had desires beyond animal instincts, and was dominant in the great lake, and this power eventually harmed itself."

Medanzo: "It thought it would be ours, so it chased us relentlessly, but I didn't expect you to kill it as soon as you took action."

Amon suddenly remembered something and solemnly reminded: "I once told you that you should try not to kill people. If you have to kill people, try to use the smallest power. But sometimes the strongest power is the smallest power. If endless fighting makes countless attacks, the power used is much greater than a fatal blow... You will encounter monsters when you move forward. If such a battle breaks out every time, we may not be able to reach our destination safely. Be careful on the next road and try not to have another conflict. It is best not to fight hard."

After dawn, he continued to set out. After walking through the nearly a hundred miles of swamp, there was a bush and grassland ahead. The land was exposed to the water for less than a year and did not form a lush jungle. Walking among the weeds and bushes, Amon put away the invisible ship and did not want to consume his mana in vain.

There are many bisons on the grassland, with a huge body and one person tall. The curved horn tips extend forward, but the temperament is very gentle, and they are leisurely eating grass there. Medanzo said: "The horns of these cows are so special. If they charge in groups, it will be a very terrifying scene. Are they the descendants of the wild bull, one of the nine legendary monsters?"

Amon replied, "I have seen such bulls in the mountains. They usually do not attack people, but when they are disturbed, their hooves and horns are very dangerous. Let's stay away and don't mess with them."

They passed through the herd of cattle quietly, and Medanzo suddenly opened his mouth wide and pointed to the distance, saying, "God Amon, what do you think?"

I saw a cow in the distance, which was much larger than a male elephant. Its huge horns were curved like a giant bow, with sharp cold light flashing at the tip. Walking on the grassland like a moving hill, it looked very terrifying. However, many birds fell on it, and the giant bull looked very peaceful. He looked up at Amon and Medanzo who were walking in the distance, and then lowered his head to continue gnawing on the bushes as if nothing had happened.

Amon whispered: "This is the legendary wild bull."

Medanzo stuck out his tongue: "The word is so big. Could it be the wild bull made by the gods?"

Amon: "It doesn't look like it. The nine monsters created by the gods all have the power to participate in the battle between the gods, and this cow should be its descendant, or a mutated bull king. Let's just go around it, be careful not to step on cow dung."

The two passed through the grassland, and the soil in front became wet again, and if they stepped on it, they would fall to their knees. But this muddy cannot hinder Amon and Medanzo, who were unable to do anything, left only two lines of shallow footprints on the wet mud, and their figures gradually disappeared on the horizon in the distance.

The night passed, and the footprints had not completely disappeared. At noon the next day, two black spots appeared on the distant floor line. The black spots quickly became larger, and they were running Medanzo and Amon. They were back and running.

The unpleasant sound of "hiss, hissing" came from behind them. When they looked up, it was a terrifying scene. A monster was chasing him reluctantly, and it was the legendary swamp giant snake. The snake was not as big as a two-headed monster snake, but it was more than 60 feet long, and its body was as thick as a bucket. It was a bright red sarcoma that grew more than one foot high in the middle of its head, and it was shaped like a rooster's crown.

What's even more terrifying is that although this snake does not have long legs, it has a pair of film-shaped flesh wings, which are more than 30 feet wide after spreading, like huge bat wings. Its tail drags on the ground and swims, its upper body flapping its wings in the air. As the wings swell, there are fine wind blades. Wherever it passes, grass leaves and shrubs are flying.

Amon ran and said, "Tell you to be careful not to provoke monsters. You have provoked this big guy again. It is still a mutated swamp giant snake with wings. Fortunately, it is not the legendary flying snake king!"

Medanzo muttered, "I didn't mean it, I just urinated into the water. I didn't expect to call it out, almost scaring me to death!"

Amon: "I asked you to do it, you do it? After running back so far, our day was in vain."

Medanzo said with a bitter face: "God Amon, you are unwilling to take action, and my strength has only recovered by less than 20%. How can I fight with it? I see that this snake is the leader of the monster in the swamp. If we lead it here, we can pass without any obstacles when we go back."

As they spoke, the two had already run past the herd of cattle, and the giant winged snake chased after it. The terrible movement disturbed the herd of graze. Many cows began to run in panic, and many cows blocked the strange snake's way forward. The cow's hooves and horns were fatal to humans, but the huge flying snake with two wings was not afraid at all. With one flapping or a long tail rolled up, the cow that was blocking the front was swung away and dropped far away.

The cows became even more panicked, and as they ran, there were waves of terrifying screams. A shocking roar came from afar, and the earth seemed to be trembling. It turned out that the huge mutant bull discovered the movement here, lowered his head and raised his four hooves and rushed over.

Medanzo, who was running away, whispered: "God Amon, speed up the turn, let's flash, let the monsters fight the monsters!"

Amon grabbed Medanzo's arm, and suddenly accelerated his feet and used the stealth magic technique. His body was as fast as a wisp of smoke. He slipped away in a circle and ran away among the running cattle. The wild buffalo rushing towards him happened to meet the swamp giant snake.

They returned from the way they came back, and the roar of the barbarian bull and the roar of the giant snake came from behind. The smoke and dust on the grassland were gushing, and the uprooted shrubs flew into the air one after another. The two big guys fought together. Mei Danzo, who had already run away, said with lingering fear: "Look at these two monsters, who can beat whom?"

Amon replied: "This is not the territory of the swamp giant snake. The two powerful monsters suddenly fight, and they usually don't fight for their lives. They will only fight back the other side. Let's take advantage of the swamp giant snake's absence to leave quickly."

They walked in this dangerous wasteland for several days, trying to avoid all kinds of dangers. If they really couldn't escape, they picked up weapons to fight. Amon did not let Medanzo take action anymore. When they encountered any situation, they waved their iron branch staff to solve the problem. They recorded the terrain and information about the appearance of monsters. On this day, they finally arrived at the former site of Duke Town.

Not long after it was exposed here, it was a huge island surrounded by swamps and jungles. The soil was black, very fertile, and covered with weeds. Calculate the area, this island accommodates thousands of people to farm and live in. And as the flood finally recedes completely, the fertile fields of thousands of miles will be connected into pieces.

Amon stood in his hometown with a staff in his hand, his eyes filled with tears and speechless for a long time. A cat was squatting at his feet, and Schrödinger's eyes also had a look of melancholy.

Amon stood at sunset from noon and looked at the wasteland foolishly without saying a word. It was not until dusk that Medanzo asked carefully: "God Amon, is this our destination Duke Town?"

Amon reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes and nodded, "Yes, this is Duke Town. The mountain torrent rushed down from the Assyrian plateau, and everyone, together with the cattle and sheep, were all swept away, and nothing was left. The soil silt covered the original land, and we were standing on it."

Medanzo whispered: "God Amon, don't be too sad, you are back after all. In the future, this place will become a prosperous home again, and your wish will surely come true."
