Chapter 103

Nanxuan swamp is located in a lowland between Quwu mountain and Yuancheng mountain. It should have been the best channel from Chenyu county to Tanxi County, Xijun county. However, because all the mountain springs and streams on Quwu mountain and Yuancheng mountain have poured into this depression, a swamp isolated from the two places has been formed.

Nanxuan swamp is full of dangers. In addition to the mire hidden in the swamp that may devour people at any time, it is also a paradise for mud snakes to live. There are many highly poisonous mud snakes hidden in the mud and water of the swamp, which may escape and cause death at any time.

In addition to these, there are also some fugitive monks hidden in nanxuan swamp. These people have committed homicides in Yu county or Xi county. After being chased and killed, they have to hide in the swamp. There are few human constraints here. Killing and seizing money is the most common thing.

However, before arriving at nanxuan swamp, Yang Junshan also found that some friars of Fangshi town organized to venture into the swamp and tried to cross into Tanxi County, Xijun county. Most of these people were carrying many parcels. They should be some businessmen. They took advantage of this to avoid the tax card set by zhentianzong on other channels and transport the production of Fangshi town to Tanxi county, And then from Tanxi county to Fangshi town.

A cold flash flashed from Yang Junshan's side. A thin snake with thick and thin fingers suddenly sprang out of the mud was cut into two sections by his horizontal knife, fell into the mud, twisted and struggled back and forth, splashing pieces of mud. Although the thin snake is short, its strength is ten feet.

Different from those ordinary monks, when crossing the swamp, they need to insert a long wooden stick into the road in front of them to prevent falling into the mire. Yang Junshan is familiar with the nanxuan swamp. He can clearly distinguish whether it is a road or a trap under the mire. Although he still can't walk on the ground, at least other people who enter the swamp walk much faster.

The horizontal knife in Yang Junshan's hand is a weapon commonly used by Han Xiusheng. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is also made of refined steel. It is of good quality. This time when he entered the swamp, Han Xiusheng gave it to him for self-defense.

In addition, Yang Junshan's seven stone bow also straddles obliquely on his shoulder, and there is a pot of runes and arrows on his back. Although this seven stone iron fetal bow is still soft for Yang Junshan, what he needs at this time is not the power of the bow and arrow itself, but the power of runes and arrows comparable to magic and far beyond the range of magic.

The sky glaze mud is usually in the mud where mud snakes gather, and the mud where mud snakes gather in large numbers is often the place where Reiki gathers. After the long-term habitat of mud snakes, under the constant whip of snake body, some mud mixed with Reiki and mud snake surface body fluid will be transformed into spirit material sky glaze mud.

The quality of tianglaze clay itself is not necessarily inferior to the French level. With the different color of tianglaze clay itself, tianglaze clay can also be divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Among them, the cyan tianglaze clay is the lowest and most common inferior spiritual material, and it is also the first choice for Yang Junshan to enter the swamp this time; If the color of heavenly glaze clay turns red, its quality will rise to the spiritual material of the middle grade of the law level; If it turns into light yellow, it can be the top spiritual material of the Dharma level that can be used to refine top-grade magic tools.

Therefore, the most likely place for the existence of sky glaze clay in the swamp must be the place where mud snakes gather most intensively, and Yang Junshan went to a snake pond in his previous life memory this time.

The horizontal knife was like a finger arm in his hand. All the mud snakes, large or small, that sprang up from the mire were cut into two sections by Yang Junshan. However, some mud snakes lurked on the road Yang Junshan passed until the moment he stepped on the foot, suddenly stretched out the snake head and bit it on his calf or foot, but even the foot he stepped on made the bones crisp.

Although Yang Junshan has never engraved earth shaking as his own magic on the immortal root as his own magic, he can also practice ordinary magic after the fifth level. Naturally, there is no reason not to practice earth shaking and flying sand, the two spells of the Yang family.

Although he has not succeeded in cultivating earth shaking in a short time, it is not difficult to use it to shock one or two mud snakes to death.

However, the scene in front of him soon made Yang Junshan a little suspicious. Yang Junshan learned a lot as a casual practitioner in his previous life, including the art of tracking. Although the mud and water in the swamp will gradually cover the traces of people walking, the footprints in front of him have not been soaked with mud and water in time.

Judging from Yang Junshan's experience, the traces left on the ground should be that two groups of people have passed before and after. The path of the former group is roughly the same as that of Yang Junshan, and it should also come from Fangshi town; The other group of people obviously came from the south, so nine times out of ten they should have come from Xi county.

However, what makes Yang Junshan curious is not that the paths of the two groups of people go in the same direction after they meet here, but that the later group of people are obviously tracking the group in front of them.

Ha, did you let yourself meet the black eating black of the fugitive friars in the swamp?

However, Yang Junshan was obviously not interested in stepping in, but after walking along this path for a moment, Yang Junshan still found that the reason why the latter group of people were able to track the former group was not because they also had tracking experts like Yang Junshan, but that the former group of people should have insiders of the latter group of people, leaving extremely secret marks on the road.

On the occasionally exposed rock in the swamp, Yang Junshan scraped a piece of sludge from it and pulled out a broken Rune Stone the size of a fingernail. This should be a trace stone, which is usually used by monks to prevent getting lost. It should be that someone in the previous group secretly placed the Rune Stone in the sludge as a mark for the later group to track.

However, the later group of people may be dirty or for other reasons. After walking along the mark, they did not pick up the trace stone in the mud, but directly crushed it with one foot. However, they did not think that this was not an obvious mark in the eyes of tracking experts like Yang Junshan.

After walking in this direction for a moment, Yang Junshan turned to another direction. This place should be closer and closer to the snake pond. There are more and more mud snakes attacking themselves all the way, more and more frequently, and the mud snakes fleeing from the mud are bigger and more fierce.

Gradually, the sound of "clattering, clattering, clattering" came from the distance, just like a stream rushing down, the rapid water "clattering", and the water spray smashed on the river stone and made a "clattering" sound.

As Yang Junshan walked in more and more, the sound became louder and louder until he carefully walked to a boulder in the swamp, slowly leaned out from behind the boulder and looked at the scene in front of him.

Although the snake pond is not the first time Yang Junshan has seen it, he still feels numb when he sees it again.

Dense mud snakes crowded in the mire hundreds of feet around. These mud snakes tangled, swam, whipped, played and fought with each other in the mire. Countless mud flowers splashed into the air with the shaking of the mud snake's body all the time, and then "clattered" fell down, This is what Yang Junshan just heard, like the sound of the impact of turbulent water.

Yang Junshan was rather frightened and bent down to walk slowly along the periphery of the mud. He was afraid that he might accidentally disturb tens of thousands of mud snakes in the mud. With his current strength, if he was chased and killed by tens of thousands of mud snakes, I'm afraid there would be no residue left at that time.

Among the mud snakes, there are big and small, big enough, and human arms are thick and thin, one or two feet long. The snake body swings with great force, and some of the splashed mud directly falls outside the mud. Yang Junshan swims along the mud, and carefully check the splashed mud to see if it contains specks of sky glaze mud.

Before Yang Junshan had no strength to exterminate tens of thousands or even more mud snakes in the whole pond, this hard pressing method of adding up a little into a lot was the quickest way to collect sky glaze clay, unless he could have the luck against the sky and just found a piece of sky glaze clay with enough weight in the swamp.

Wow

A pile of muddy water fell from the sky and splashed Yang Junshan's face, but he not only couldn't dodge, but also couldn't wipe off the mud on his body, because Yang Junshan saw a mass of cyan mud falling on the ground and splashing around. He hurried over to have a look. There were really a lot of tianglaze muddy water in this mass of muddy water.

Yang Junshan quickly collected the cyan water into a gourd he carried with him. After that, he also needed to precipitate, filter and purify the mud water, and the rest was the inferior spiritual material tianglaze mud that could be used to refine utensils.

A mud snake suddenly sprang out of the mire. Yang Junshan, who was always tense, flew past with an arrow step. With a flash of the horizontal knife in his hand, he directly cut off the snake's head.

In this process, Yang Junshan did not dare to use magic or inject any spiritual power into weapons. He could only rely on the agility and strength of the flesh.

The mud snake is very sensitive to aura. Once Yang Junshan uses his body's aura to cause aura turbulence, it may cause dozens or even hundreds of mud snakes to flee out of the mud at any time. If the mud snakes are not killed in time, more companions will be summoned by the mud snake immediately.

Yang Junshan walked down carefully in a circle about a hundred feet. It took an hour to kill more than ten mud snakes, and the collected sky glaze mud water filled only one tenth of the big gourd.

After a short rest, Yang Junshan began to walk around the mud for the second time. Just halfway there, when Yang Junshan was collecting a cloud of sky glaze mud that just splashed out, suddenly three or four tangled mud snakes rolled out of the mud. At the moment of landing, several mud snakes were immediately broken.

When Yang Junshan saw something bad, he couldn't even clean up the sky glaze mud. He rushed over and flashed several knives one after another, killing all the mud snakes with thick and thin arms, but at this time, the hair behind Yang Junshan suddenly exploded, and someone attacked behind him!

Regardless of the mud on the ground, Yang Junshan rolled to avoid a cold wind blowing from behind. When he looked up, Yang Junshan immediately took a breath of cool air and ran away without turning around!

A giant mud snake with a human leg and a length of about three feet appeared at the place where he had just collected the clay water of the sky glaze. It was obvious that the cold wind swept Yang Junshan with the tail of the snake. At this time, Yang Junshan actually escaped. The snake letter in the mouth of the giant snake vomited "hissing" and "crackling" in the mud not far away Suddenly, a snake wave burst out of the mud and chased Yang Junshan in the direction of escape.
