Dick slowly put down the black sword, and Tatum also pulled out the stabbing sword pierced in the heart.
In just two breaths, Dick's injuries had completely recovered.
However, he had gone through too many chases today, and he had consumed a lot of energy.
Although Super Self-Healing Ability can absorb most of the elemental energy in the air, he is physically and mentally exhausted at the moment and his face is slightly pale.
"In this case, can you really let us go?" Dick said warily.
"Of course you can."
Dick was surprised. He thought Tatum would cheat. After all, he remembered that Emperor Bacchus was bound to catch Xiya at the meeting.
Seemingly seeing Dick's doubts, Tatum whispered, "Emperor Marius admires you very much."
After saying that, he turned back and mounted his horse. With a wave of his hand, the entire cavalry team made way neatly.
Dick couldn't figure out why Emperor Marius arrested Xiya according to "Covenant of Kings" before, but now he let himself go when he was weak.
But he could clearly hear the footsteps behind him getting louder and louder, and he could also hear the mercenaries shouting, "Hurry and catch World-Destroying Witch and kill the demon lackeys around her!"
Dick didn't have time to talk to Kebi in detail, so he said hello to him, took Xiya's hand, and plunged into the fog where the gray fog adhered like a spider web and the visibility was only within three steps.
After the two left, the mercenaries gradually came over. At a glance, there were three to four hundred of them densely packed.
One of the Church of the Eternal Fire bishops held a staff and walked to the front of the crowd aggressively, asking Tatum: "You didn't stop the witcher who was at the end of his rope?"
"This is none of your business." Tatum hummed disdainfully, "In short, this is Bacchus Empire's business and has nothing to do with you."
He pointed to the mist again, "If any of you want to continue to pursue the demon hunters and witches in exchange for bounties, you can go to Mist Swamp on your own."
The bishop looked far into the depths of Mist Swamp, but seeing the miasma filling the air, he felt fearful and said, "We cannot enter there."
The mercenaries looked downcast at this moment, like cocks defeated in a fight.
Tatum ignored this and rode away side by side with Kebi and Fisher.
The mercenaries could vaguely hear their conversation.
"Fisher, we haven't seen each other for many years. I want to stay for a day at Odinburg, which is now Viscount Kebi. Don't worry, my Shadow Centurion will not disturb the civilians."
"Then I have to ask Master Kebi." Even now that Kebi has become a viscount, Fisher still calls him Master. His tone seems tactful, but more sincere.
"Of course. Since you let Dick go, you are also my friend."
As soon as I stepped into the swamp, the rancid mud immediately covered my moccasin boots.
Dick can clearly feel the sharp bone fragments mixed in the thick mud on the soles of his feet, and every step he takes feels like he is being chewed by rotten teeth.
The thick fog filled with the smell of rotten eggs penetrated my nose, and my throat hurt when I breathed.
The talisman around Xiya's neck lights up with an earthy yellow halo. This is the talisman given by Dean Mary. It can resist miasma, but it only lasts for about an hour. They must travel through Mist Swamp as soon as possible during this time.
This amulet barely illuminated the dark purple moss within three steps - the moss was seeping black water with their footsteps, making a tooth-grinding sizzling sound in the silence.
He understood that this was the miasma in the swamp.
Fortunately, with the help of Super Self-Healing Ability, the damage to the body recovered quickly, but the feeling was really uncomfortable, but fortunately it was not serious.
The two of them knew that time was running out and did not dare to stop for a moment, so they headed west quickly.
While traveling, with the sharp senses of a demon hunter, Dick noticed that there were many monsters nearby.
He had seen several Mud Drowner wandering in the swamp. They would pop up from time to time, stare at the two Dick with their blood-red eyes, and then slowly sink their bodies into the swamp and disappear, leaving only bubbles of different sizes on the surface of the swamp. The corrupted bubbles exploded on the mud surface, making a gurgling sound similar to the clogged throat of a dying person.
Whenever the bubble bursts, a translucent outline of an arm rises from the bottom of the swamp, and the clicking sound of the knuckles tapping the mud forms a weird beat.
Dick became increasingly vigilant, holding Xiya tightly with his left hand, and had drawn out the long sword with his right hand.
After walking for a while, he stopped and immediately released a layer of Protection Sign, blessing Xiya.
The scene ahead is all too familiar to Dick.
There was no swamp there, but a piece of flat land that looked very clean, and the gray-yellow miasma also dissipated here.
This is the place where Dick and Kayn killed the wolf.
And sitting on a huge bone throne in front of them was a monster.
This monster is short, has the head of a snake, is wearing a green robe, and has a lizard tail.
Dick Through Second Witcher Senses, you can sense many bright and dark blushes behind the monster.
The monster in front of him spoke hoarsely:
"Are you the demon hunter who killed my subordinate human wolf Warwick? I didn't expect you would dare to come back."
Dick knew that he had become enemies with this unknown monster, so he just protected Xiya behind him without saying a word. He held the sword in his right hand and pointed the sword tip at the monster far away.
This green-robed lizard-like monster looked very relaxed and crossed its legs, "I am Lord of the Mist Swamp."
I have also heard that the witch behind you is World-Destroying Witch. I am very interested in the secrets hidden in her. Now, I will give you a chance. Hand her over and surrender to me."
When it said this, it took out a glass bottle from its wide sleeves and tapped it with its fingertips. There were writhing black eggs floating in the dark green liquid.
"Eat it and you will transform. What a wonderful symbiosis, Witcher."
Your Self-Healing cells will glow like swamp fireflies, and your bones will grow beautiful moss lines."
It suddenly stretched its neck and Snake Letter hissed, "Or... do you want to watch the fireworks blooming in the little witch's flesh and blood when she is torn apart by Cyclops?"
Dick didn't say anything, but spat heavily on the ground.
"It seems that this is your attitude. It really disappoints me." It slapped its hands with its sharp claws, and several water ripples suddenly rippled in the surrounding air.
After the water ripples dissipated, Dick discovered the secret hidden in the air.
It turned out that several Foglets used concealment spells to hide all the more than thirty Cyclopss that were five to six meters high.
At this time, these Cyclops appeared, with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths due to the desire for food, and holding huge bone clubs of unknown animals in their hands.
Dick is already ready for battle, waiting for these monsters to attack.
But what surprised him was that these Cyclops resisted their bloodthirsty killing impulse and stood still.
Instead, the lizard named Lord of the Mist Swamp stood up.
It flicked its wrist, and its nails instantly grew wildly, reaching the length of a sword in the blink of an eye.
It looked at its nails and said to itself, "If you can kill me, you can get out of here."
"Single challenge?" Dick was surprised.
"Humph, of course." After saying this, the bone seat shattered under the heavy step.
Lord of the Mist Swamp The rustling sound of the scales rubbing against each other suddenly became sharp, and the snake-shaped vertical pupils shrank into two blood lines.
Dick saw five green afterimages being torn out of the air by sharp claws, and the strong wind carrying the smell of rotten flesh had hit the door.
He spun around and took a wrong step. The blade of his sword collided with his sharp claws, and blue-purple sparks burst out. The flying sparks landed on the surface of the mire and ignited a will-o'-the-wisp, illuminating the surrounding monsters in flickering light.
