The lobsterman leader knocked on the wooden door, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded from inside the door: "Is it Alpet?"
The leader of the lobster people named Alpet replied: "Yes, Lord Prophet. I have brought a guest... In his hand, there is a token given by the mistress."
"Invite him in."
The door of the wooden house creaked open, and the group of lobster people stood on both sides. Bai Xiaowen stepped in.
Li Shuyi wanted to follow her in, but was stopped by the lobster man Alpet.
"Sorry Miss Human, you can't go in."
Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen with a questioning look.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "It doesn't matter."
Bai Xiaowen stepped into the cabin and saw an old purple-shell lobster man in the dim light. Most of the lobster men outside were green-skinned, and the purple shell should represent old age.
"Hello, distinguished guest... I have foreseen your arrival." The old lobster man's voice sounded.
"You, precognition? Are you a prophet?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile on his face.
"That's right..."
"Can a prophet tell others directly what he sees?" Bai Xiaowen asked in return.
The old lobster man was silent for a second, and then slowly said: "Well, what I said is not very accurate... I did not see the prophecy directly, but through divination, I learned that someone will visit in the near future..."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly realized that this was probably one of the tricks used by the magic stick to pretend to be unpredictable... If he was not an expert, he would probably be fooled by the old lobster man.
It seems that there is a big difference between the so-called precognition of the old lobster man and Bai Xiaowen's ability to directly "see" the future scene. At present, it seems that it is reflected in the accuracy.
"What should I call you? Who is the mistress represented by this scale token?" Bai Xiaowen asked while showing the scale.
"My name is Gorik... As for the identity of the mistress, before she explains it, please forgive me for not telling you directly." said the lobsterman prophet Gorik.
"Okay...then do you know, what is the purpose of your mistress contacting me? Is it because she wants to trade, or is it something else?"
Golic shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, distinguished guest. I don't know the intention of the mistress... However, since you have this token, it means that I must provide you with the greatest help, even if it is
Even if the entire Mire Lobstermen tribe is sacrificed, we can’t refuse.”
"Is that so..."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and did not continue to speculate on the identity of the mistress and her purpose. In fact, Bai Xiaowen already had certain ideas in his mind.
"Your Majesty the Prophet Golic, I came to the Pale Swamp to find a ruins that have been covered in dust for a long time. To this end, I need your tribe to send some elite warriors as guides, and at the same time tell me how as a human being in the Pale Swamp
Free movement in the quagmire.”
Gorik obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, no problem...both of your requirements can be met."
Then the wooden stick in Gorric's hand knocked on the ground: "Arpet!"
The leader of the lobster men with the big claw from before came in in response.
"Bring two pieces of dry-bone coir raincoats," the prophet Gorik ordered.
Soon, two skeletal raincoats were brought to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen took a look and saw that the skeleton of the bone coir raincoat was woven from rotten bones, and the threads were made of a tough black waterweed.
"This thing... seems a bit similar to the undead disguise." Bai Xiaowen silently evaluated it in his mind.
On the other side, the prophet Golik has already introduced: "Let me introduce to you, these two bone raincoats are based on the records of our ancestors. They collected the netherworld grass in the swamp and woven it from the drowned bones. They can effectively resist the mud.
The ghost mist invades... Of course, as the lobster people have thrived in the swamp for generations, we have gradually become accustomed to the ghost mist environment in the swamp, and this kind of bone raincoat is rarely used."
Bai Xiaowen put on a dead raincoat and got the prompt immediately:
"You used a special item: Undead disguise. This item cannot be taken out of the world of the Black Tide Plane."
"Your negative status: the effect of the Yin Qi winding disappears."
Bai Xiaowen breathed out, feeling like he had truly merged into this gloomy ghostly mist quagmire.
Gorik added: "Dear guest, Alpet is one of the best warriors in our tribe, and he has seen ancient ruins appearing in the mire... It is most appropriate for him to be your guide."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Thank you very much."
"Guests don't need to say thank you. You have the token of the mistress. These are what we should do," Gorik said diligently. "Next, please take a rest in the tribe. The tribe will take out the food reserves.
, for two distinguished guests to enjoy.”
"No, I'm leaving now."
Bai Xiaowen refused the invitation of the Lobster Man Prophet and took two undead disguises, namely, dry bone raincoats. With the Lobster Man warrior Alpet as the guide, he and Li Shuyi stepped into the depths of the mire again.
…
"Alpet... this name is very familiar," Bai Xiaowen came up with it after a moment's thought and asked with a smile, "Do you have a title called 'Head-Batter'?"
Alpet, who was walking at the front, turned his head in confusion: "Yes... you know my nickname?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said nothing, which in the eyes of Alpet, the leader of the lobster people, added a bit of mystery.
The scenery in the pale mire is not static. When Bai Xiaowen stepped into the swamp, he used mental scanning to continuously "sweep" the surrounding terrain, as well as the monsters that appeared, into his mind, forming a map like a game map.
memory screen.
In the front, Alpet said nonchalantly: "I also happened to see ancient ruins once. It was in the westernmost part of the swamp. The tribe never went that far. At that time, I was chased by a group of bones. I ran there in a panic.
There."
"What do the ruins look like?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Some dilapidated, but very... spectacular," Alpet said. "I have never seen such a magnificent building. It is simply the palace of the gods on the ground."
"Have you been in?"
"No!" Alpet looked regretful. "I hesitated for a long time, and finally made up my mind to go in. But when I walked, I realized that I couldn't get close to the ruins... Maybe the god who established the ruins was not determined to me.
punish."
Bai Xiaowen was thoughtful.
Suddenly, in the mist ahead, there were several skinny, staggering shadows, slowly approaching.
"Be careful, these skeletons in the swamp are very difficult to deal with. Don't fight with them for too long." Alpet warned nervously.
