After taking his men around the estuary of the river, Lin Xiao finally decided to put his new home on the beach about a mile away on the North Bank of the river, facing the black water swamp on the South Bank of the river.
According to the map shared by the artifact platform, there is a large Mermaid city in the sea about 40 kilometers to the east of the mouth of the river, which is also the core area of the sea area near the reign of the mermaid empire.
Needless to say, there are frogman, snake man and Fishman in the black water swamp. There are also a lot of swamp creatures, including fierce predators such as fierce crocodiles, which are mixed with dragons and snakes. He dare not put his home in it.
Compared with the previous task, the black water swamp is much more complicated. Even if there are more cannon fodder available now, he did not dare to act rashly. He just asked the fishman slaves to cut down trees and carry stones to build a nest, and then he took dozens of nagas to go out for a walk.
He went to the alluvial island near the estuary first. Good guy, as soon as he got close to that area, he saw a fat bluefin shark coming with a big mouth open.
This guy is very fat. His whole body is round and rolling. But when he opens his mouth and shakes his body, he rushes over. I don't know why he reminds Lin Xiao of a picture of an expression pack, and he has an inexplicable joy.
But the feeling of happiness is the feeling of happiness. He won't be merciful.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of nagas rushed up and stabbed to death. Naturally, the corpses were taken as their snacks and eaten on the spot.
When they left, there was only a pile of uneaten debris, which attracted a large group of small fish to fight for the debris.
Next, they made a circle around these alluvial islands and encountered no less than 30 battles. The number of hunters in this sea area was unexpected.
Fortunately, their current strength is very strong. The strength of level 2 and level 3 can be regarded as the upper and middle class combat power in the shallow sea area. Dozens of them can go together. Generally, there are not many sea animals near the shallow sea that can beat them.
Bypass the alluvial island and go south along the junction of the black water swamp and the sea. The black water swamp is on the seashore and has no separation line with the sea. It can enter the swamp directly from the sea.
Of course, although there is no dividing line between the black water swamp and the sea, there is an obvious dividing line, that is, the water in the black water swamp is particularly black. If you see the black and white color with clear path separation at the junction of the two, you know that this is the junction of the two.
Instead of entering the black water swamp, he continued to swim south along the black-and-white border for nearly a day, and it was estimated that he had swam 60 or 70 kilometers before he saw the end of the black water swamp.
"This swamp is a little big!"
He remembers that the terrain of Heishui marsh marked on the map is a rectangle. The width is on the side near the sea, and the length is on the side deep into the land. From the topographic map, the length is about two to three times of the width, that is to say, the width of Heishui marsh is 60 to 70 kilometers, and the length is nearly 200 kilometers. The largest marsh in this plane, even on the mainland, occupies a considerable proportion The area of the building.
At the end of the swamp, Lin Xiao didn't move on. He was about to turn around when he saw a large group of dog headed men at the end of the swamp near the sea.
It's not surprising that there are dogheads on this plane, but these dogheads are well disciplined and equipped with small shield weapons. It's obvious that they are not natives but students.
He immediately became interested and swam around.
When he came ashore from the middle of the sea, goutouren on the barren slope of the sea also found him. After observing for a while, the square array of goutouren separated. A group of fully armed goutouren surrounded by an extra tall goutouren came over and waved in common language from a distance:
"who's the classmate?"
Lin Xiao also said in common language:
"three classes a year, Lin Xiao!"
The opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment, and the dog's face was surprised and said:
"I'm Meng Hui!"
Lin Xiao was not surprised, because seeing this fully armed Goutou man, he had a little guess in his heart. After all, there were only one or two people in the school who chose Goutou as their initial family and developed to this point, and Meng Hui, a classmate, was one of them.
"Is your mission here?"
"Yes, so are you?"
"Yes, I have two missions in this black water swamp."
"What a coincidence."
"Yes."
They talk in a flat tone without any nourishment. On the way to chat, Meng Hui glances at Naga behind him. He wants to ask but is embarrassed to ask.
After chatting for a while, he finally asked:
"is your race Naga?"
Lin Xiao laughs and shakes his head:
"it's not Naga. It's a new race that I created by myself and looks like Naga."
Meng Hui's eyes immediately glared, and his face was irrepressible surprise:
"the new race you created?"
"Yes, it's an intermediate species."
"Then..."
"yes, I've gathered the divine power of creation in advance. I can only get it when I become a demigod."
Meng HuiThe shock and admiration on his face were almost beyond expression. After a long time, he squeezed out two words: "Congratulations!"
"Hehe, good luck."
...
on this day, I can't talk any more.
After a few words, Meng Hui found an excuse to run away. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would show his envy and hatred.
Seeing his departure, Lin Xiao just smiles.
Although they have been in the same class for one year, they haven't said a few words in a year. Meng Hui, who used to be the top five in the class, despises him. Now he has stronger strength and potential. He needs to look up to him.
The episode was soon forgotten by him. Anyway, their tasks did not conflict.
Back from the original road, back to the Heishui estuary, just about to cross the river valley, I suddenly saw a small group of frogmen killing another large group of fishmen at the junction of the swamp and the sea.
Obviously, the number of fishermen is less than that of fishermen, but the pressure is on fishermen to fight.
Frogman, also known as the marsh toad man, is a humanoid creature that looks like a frog or a toad. It has a fat body, webbed hands and feet, big eyes and extremely wide mouth. It has a long flexible tongue, which can stick out its tongue like a green snake.
Frogmen like to settle down by the river or in the swamp. They build small villages and breeding pools on the river bank or on the swamp floating island to lay eggs, that is, tadpoles. They don't go ashore until they grow about one meter.
The young frogman must successfully kill a prey before being accepted by the clan. The loser will be exiled and not recognized by the clan.
This group of young frogmen kill this group of fishermen, it should be their rite of passage.
Lin Xiao didn't interfere in their rite of passage. He just observed their fighting style outside. He could study the frogman's ability and deal with it better.
Frogman's fighting style is very primitive. They usually use bone sticks or wooden sticks, or even directly use stone sticks or stones as weapons. They can use simple marsh language and generally like to move in groups of three to twelve.
