The Era of Gods

Taking his subordinates around the estuary of the big river, Lin Xiao finally decided to put his new home on the beach about a mile past the north bank of the big river, facing the black water swamp on the south bank of the big river.

According to the map shared by the artifact platform, there is a large mermaid city, which is also the core area where the mermaid empire rules the surrounding waters, in the sea about 40 kilometers further east from the mouth of this big river.

Not to mention the Blackwater Swamp, there are frogmen, snakemen and murlocs in it, as well as a large number of swamp creatures, including fierce predators such as crocodiles, dragons and snakes mixed, he dare not put his home in it .

Compared with the previous mission, the Blackwater Swamp was much more complicated. Even if there were more cannon fodder available, he did not dare to act rashly. He just asked the murloc servants he brought to cut down trees and carry stones to build nests. Dozens of Naga went out for a walk.

He went to the vicinity of the alluvial island in the estuary first. Good guy, as soon as he got close to that area, he saw a fat and strong bluetip shark rushing towards it with its mouth open.

This guy is very fat, and his whole body is round and round, but when he opened his mouth and shook his body and rushed over, for some reason, it reminded Lin Xiao of a certain emoji picture, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

But the joy returns to the joy, and he will not show mercy.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of Naga rushed up and stabbed them to death, and the corpses were naturally eaten as their snacks on the spot.

When they left, only a pile of uneaten debris was left, attracting a large group of small fish to compete for the debris.

Next, they circled around these small alluvial islands and encountered no less than thirty battles. There were unexpectedly many predators in this sea area.

Fortunately, their current strength is quite strong. The strength of the second and third tiers is regarded as the upper-middle-level combat power in the shallow sea area. Dozens of them walk together. Generally, there are not many sea beasts near the shallow sea that can beat them.

Bypass the alluvial island and go south along the junction of the blackwater swamp and the sea. The blackwater swamp is right by the sea, and there is no dividing line from the sea. You can enter the swamp directly from the sea.

Of course, although there is no dividing line between the blackwater swamp and the sea, there is a clear dividing line, that is, the water in the blackwater swamp is exceptionally black. the junction of the two.

He did not enter the blackwater swamp, but continued south along the junction of black and white. It took him almost a day to swim, and it was estimated that he had to swim 60 to 70 kilometers before he saw the end of the blackwater swamp.

"This swamp is a bit big!"

He remembered that the blackwater swamp terrain marked on the map was a rectangle, with the width on the sea side and the length on the far side of the land. From the topographical map, the length was about two to three times the width, which means that the black The water swamp is 60 to 70 kilometers wide and nearly 200 kilometers long. The largest swamp in this plane occupies a considerable area even if it is placed on the mainland.

At the end of the swamp, Lin Xiao did not go any further, and was about to turn around when he suddenly saw a large group of kobolds appearing at the edge of the swamp near the sea not far away.

It is not surprising that there are kobolds in this plane, but these kobolds are strictly disciplined and equipped with small shield weapons. They are obviously not natives of this plane, but a student.

He immediately became interested, turned around and swam over.

When he swam ashore from the sea, the kobolds on the deserted slopes by the sea also found him. After observing for a while, the kobold formation separated, and a group of heavily armed kobolds surrounded a particularly tall kobold and walked over. From afar, he beckoned in common language:

"Which classmate is that?"

Lin Xiao also replied in common language:

"Three classes a year, Lin Xiao!"

The opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment, and the dog's face showed an unexpected color, and said:

"I'm Meng Hui!"

Lin Xiao was not surprised, because when he saw this fully armed kobold, he had a slight guess in his heart. After all, the whole school chose kobolds as the initial family and developed it to this point. There are only one or two, and his classmate Meng Hui is one of them.

"Is your mission here too?"

"Yes, you too?"

"Yes, I have two missions in this Blackwater Marsh."

"That's a coincidence."

"yes."

The two spoke in a flat-talking tone with unnutritious words. During the chat, Meng Hui glanced at Naga behind him, looking like he wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask.

After chatting for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Is your race a Naga?"

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head:

"It's not a Naga, it's a new race I created that looks like a Naga."

Meng Hui's eyes widened immediately, and his face was filled with uncontrollable surprise:

"A new race of your own creation?"

"Yes, it's still an intermediate species."

"That"

"Yes, I have already condensed the creation priesthood in advance, and I can obtain it only by becoming a demigod."

Meng Hui: .

The shock and envy on his face were almost beyond words, and after a while, he could only squeeze out two words:

"Congratulations!"

"Hey, good luck."

Today, I can't talk anymore.

After a few words, Meng Hui found an excuse to run away, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would show envy, jealousy and hatred that he couldn't bear.

Watching him leave, Lin Xiao just smiled.

Although they have been in the same class for a year, they haven't said a few words between them in total. Meng Hui, who was the top five in the class, looked down on him, but now his strength and potential are stronger, and he needs to look up.

The episode was quickly forgotten by him, and their tasks did not conflict anyway.

Returning from the original road, back to the mouth of the Blackwater River, when I was about to cross the river valley, I suddenly saw a small group of frogmen killing another large group of murlocs at the junction of the swamp and the sea.

Obviously the number is less than the murlocs, but they beat the murlocs.

The frogman, also called the swamp man, is a humanoid creature that looks like a frog or a toad, with a fat and fat body, webbed hands and feet, big eyes and an extremely wide mouth, and a flexible long tongue. Can stick out its tongue like a green snake to stick to the target.

Frogmen like to settle down by big rivers or swamps. They build small villages and breeding pools on river banks or swamp floating islands to lay eggs, that is, tadpoles. They will not come ashore until the tadpoles grow hands and feet that are nearly a meter or so.

Young frogmen must successfully kill a prey before being accepted by the clan, and the loser will be exiled and not recognized by the clan.

This group of young frogmen killed this group of murlocs, it should be their rite of passage.

Lin Xiao didn't interfere with their coming-of-age ceremony, but just observed their fighting style outside, just in time to study the frogmen's abilities and deal with them better at that time.

The fighting style of the frogmen is very primitive. They usually use bone sticks or wooden sticks, or even directly use stone sticks or stones as weapons. They can speak simple swamp language and generally like group activities between three and twelve.
