Chapter 157 Going deep into the swamp

"Left full rudder, left into the smallest swampy river channel."

Shi Xin, who was on the bow of the boat, gave orders loudly, which made Shi Huangzi and others standing next to him unable to believe. Is there a road in this swamp and overgrown place, which looks like a small gurgling stream?

Five days ago, there was the First Regiment of the Dying Juntian Army, composed of 1,500 men from the Third Lieutenant Black Fire and 500 men from the Bandit Regiment of the Danghu Mountain Garrison Management Office, led by Shi Huangzi and several others.

Riding on five small warships disguised as merchant ships, the Songjiang Prefecture navy set out from Songjiang City, passing through Dajiang City and taking Xuanfei City.

On a night of thick rain and fog, I passed by Xuanyu City and quietly entered the Xuanwu Swamp three hundred miles away in the hazy mist. The journey was safe and sound.

When preparing to enter the Xuanwu swamp, Shi Huangzi, who was originally the center ship, walked forward of the ship, and as the path opener, led the other five warships to slowly march through the swamp.

The Xuanwu Swamp is indeed the Xuanwu Swamp, a swamp with a radius of tens of thousands of square kilometers. The feeling that Shi Huangzi feels can only be expressed in one word: Xuanwu.

In his impression and understanding, the so-called swamp is an area where the surface is too wet or has a thin layer of perennial or seasonal water accumulation, the soil moisture is almost saturated, and there are hygrophilic and water-loving marsh plants growing there.

However, this Xuanwu swamp gave him a feeling more like a reed swamp. Although there was a swamp, it existed more from the crisscrossing water network. This may be related to the fact that Xuanhu country is called the country of ten thousand islands.

related.

Since entering Xuanhu Country, he has discovered that the neighbor of Red Tiger Country has a different landform.

Although there are also high mountains and broad plains, most of them are areas divided by water flows. For example, the most famous Xuanfei City near the Red Tiger Kingdom has one city and three islands.

There are almost no land routes, only the waterway from Hengqianmo, which looks very much like the Venetian water city of the old people in the previous life. This is an existence that is unimaginable in the Red Tiger Kingdom.

When we arrived at Xuanyu City, the city closest to the Xuanwu Swamp, the scene of the Land of Ten Thousand Islands was even more vivid. There was thick water mist in the sky, and the existence of the sky was completely invisible, as if it was covered by a layer of water mist.

A place for roofing.

The water mist is like clouds above, and below are small plots of land with abundant water and grass, which are divided by strips of running water that are so small that they can only be called flowing water.

The five warships were moving slowly. As the two leaders of the bandit group who had experienced life and death in Xuanwu Swamp for many years, they now showed their existence as half-landlords.

Ordered the entire fleet, with 500 members of the Bandit Group and 100 people per ship. As the driving force of each ship, in addition to Shi Xin, Shi Yi, Shi Huangzi, Jin Ge, Li Fei'er, Xiao Nan, and the ten elders who were stationed in Juntiandi

The commander of the No. 1 ship of the regiment led the way.

The other four ships also have a hundred members of the Bandit Regiment on each ship, and the remaining 1,500 soldiers of the third lieutenant, commanded by the third lieutenant, are divided on the four ships, following the No. 1 ship, like sea snakes in the mysterious

Deft movement in the tiger swamp.

Shi Xin's sudden orders one after another made Shi Huangzi feel strange.

"The leaders of the four ships listened to the order, filled the right rudder, and everyone took the barrier-breaking pill. The force exploded, pushing the ships over the miasma at high speed and entering the real Black Tiger Swamp area."

While Shi Huangzi was looking ahead at the area with deeper, thicker, and even some black air, admiring the different rough scene, Shi Xin's order suddenly came again.

In response, there was a loud shout in the spiral array room in the ship. The ship, which was not particularly fast at first, was like a car and ship that suddenly hit the accelerator to the bottom, rushing toward the ship at a speed of nearly a hundred yards with a roar.

In the waterway ahead, there is a raised grassland that looks like a dead end of the waterway.

"Fuck!"

The little man's voice represents the aspirations of Shi Huangzi and others.

In Shi Huangzi's view, it was like knowing that there was a small Baotou ahead, but still having to leap over it as fast as possible. He couldn't help but hold on to the railing of the ship.

I completely forgot that I was a flying warrior. I sweated a lot and secretly prayed in my heart: "Don't break it. It will be very painful if it falls."

"boom..."

Five roars were heard, and after the ship rushed into Little Baotou, it first tilted its head, causing everyone's bodies to tilt back heavily, as if they were about to lose their center of gravity.

Then, another big wave splashed under the dive. The deck of the ship was instantly soaked by the huge wave. The water splashed on Shi Huangzi's face, and there was a smell of decay, which was a bit sour.

feeling.

"Tianjun, take the barrier-breaking pill quickly. We have entered the miasma range of the Black Tiger Swamp. The miasma will enter the body with breathing, corrode the martial energy, and make the martial arts of the warrior not run smoothly."

Shi Xin shouted anxiously when he saw that Shi Huangzi didn't take the barrier-breaking pill according to his instructions.

"I..."

Focusing only on Shi Xin's strange command and the roughness of the Xuanwu swamp, Shi Huangzi, who had forgotten to swallow the barrier-breaking pill, summoned his martial energy a little, and felt a strong sense of obstruction.

It made him feel that the martial energy entering from the meridian gate was causing a blockage in his body. If he did not remove it, his Danhai martial energy would become as thick as a swamp before long, and he would be unable to mobilize the martial energy in his body.

.

"Gudong!"

Shi Huangzi swallowed the barrier-breaking pill in the form of a black pill with great force. A cool feeling lingered on the surface and veins, like air filtering the sour miasma in the Xuanwu swamp.

I felt personally comfortable again.

"call!"

Shi Huangzi exhaled with a thick breath, and the Sisou ship behind him also smoothly jumped over the small Baotou, and quickly followed behind on the river.

If we say that before crossing the miasma, starting from Xuanyu City, warships were just like icebreakers traveling in places with lush water and grass, and it was impossible to distinguish between grassland and river water and grass.

Then, after crossing the miasma, it is completely another incredible sight.

Although there was rain and fog covering the sky before, it made people feel that the world was a bit bleak. This is understandable to everyone, but after crossing the miasma, the first impression that Shi Huangzi felt was the scene of a thousand miles of mire.

The mountain can no longer be called a mountain. The trees seem to be made of mud, the grass seems to be made of mud, and even the water seems to be born of mud. The whole world seems to be only grey, black, green and white.

Under the command of Shi Xin, the battleship meandered through the hidden river channel shaped like a quagmire, giving Shi Huangzi the feeling of being forced to slide through it.

What splashed up was streams of black stagnant water exuding sour gas, which splashed onto the deck and made a sizzling sound, followed by streams of gray smoke rising up.

If this is a warship without formation protection, but an ordinary small wooden ship, then the iron must have been corroded and penetrated every hole.

Shi Huangzi looked around and saw that both people and ships had a faint martial aura protecting the corrosive black water, which made him a little worried. After all, it would consume too much.

The role of the Miasma-Breaking Pill is only to prevent the miasma from mixing in the martial energy and affecting the movement of everyone's martial energy. Although martial energy also exists between heaven and earth, the amount is far less than the external ten

one part.

Moreover, in such a world, they have to fight against the indigenous monsters here, as well as sea monsters, assimilated people and even people from the Seven Kills Map.

Although the cost of emitting martial energy to protect the body may seem small now, they have to be here for a long time, and after adding up the amount, they still cannot make ends meet. It is indeed a dangerous place.

Apart from the black muddy swamp, those trees and grass were the only natural green spots, which originally made Shi Huangzi a little happy.

But with a flick of his hand, a waterweed appeared in his hand. What he saw was a black rhizome, and only the leaves were green. After asking for a moment, a sourness came out, just like the miasma, which made him understand.

Come here, the aquatic plants here grow in response to water, but they are also poisonous.

As for the scattered green trees dotting the swamp, they bring out this poisonous feeling to the fullest. The bark of the trees is as black and ferocious as if it has been dried up by miasma. If it weren't for the green leaves on the top, it would really make people doubt this.

Is the tree dead?

When passing by a hill, Shi Huangzi rarely saw the existence of a stone, but the appearance made him dare not compliment it. The stone was gray. In a place where the water and swamps on the ground are mainly black, this gray color did not require thinking, and he knew that it was not gray.

What good stuff.

"Brother Xing, a place like this obviously seems to be useless. How could you think of Xuanhu Swamp as the place where the bandits had their life and death training?"

Shi Huangzi was a little confused and asked Shi Xin who was at the helm.

"Haha, Tianjun, you don't know this. As long as you know how to use it, this Black Tiger Swamp is actually full of treasures."

Shi Xin just smiled slightly and continued to focus on steering forward. Shi Yi on the side laughed and responded to Shi Huangzi's question.

"This looks like a place where birds don't poop, and there are treasures everywhere?

My husband expressed disbelief!"

The young man who had been lying on Shi Huangzi's shoulder said to Shi Yi who was answering with a noncommittal expression.

"You have to believe it or not. The gray stone on the hill we passed just now is the best material for building a city.

Because it has been suffocated by the miasma here for too long, it has solidified miasma on its body surface. When it is attacked, the first thing it attacks is those solidified miasma, and the miasma can replace martial energy. The external miasma has the martial energy of heaven and earth.

The neutralization has minimal impact on the warriors.

Therefore, it has an extra layer of protection than ordinary city walls, and the black stone has a thicker miasma solidification than the gray stone, and its defense is even greater.

The external miasma is neutralized by the martial energy of heaven and earth, and its impact on warriors is minimal, but its hardness and defense are unmatched by ordinary stones. Do you think it is a treasure?"

Shi Yi spoke eloquently, and Shi Huangzi instantly understood that Xuanyu City was known as the Black City. It turned out that the city wall was built using the black stones from the Xuanhu Swamp. No wonder there were no traces of swords, guns, and swords on it.
