Chapter 576 The Great Forerunner is about to go to his rest
I’m so hungry…
Barbara West walked in the Black Swamp, holding her stomach and looking unhappy.
The mud here
With each step, Barbara West struggled to pull her feet out of the mud.
Fortunately, this proved that he was away from the most dangerous area.
In many cases, water means the continuation of life.
But the water in the Black Swamp cannot be drunk directly. The water flowing between the mud and entangled plants carries some dangerous and forbidden power.
The village wizard had long passed down a revelation from ancient times: the water here was cursed, and anyone who drank it directly would be devoured by swarms of insects.
But now, it hasn't rained for a long time.
The dry earth was deeply cracked, like empty faces asking for something from the sky.
Even the black swamp, which was originally covered with lush aquatic plants, has shrunk a lot.
The edible plants such as reeds in the outermost area have been eaten up by the villagers.
Now, the villagers need to go deeper into this forbidden land to get a chance to breathe.
But, it's just a breath...
Barbara West had been to the deepest part of the Black Swamp, and it didn't seem as terrifying as the legends described.
It was just ordinary. There was no huge black shadow wriggling in the deep swamp, nor any enchanting monster luring the villagers into the depths of the mud.
Maybe?
That was the school of fat fish that Barbara West saw from afar, flopping about in the very center of the swamp.
It is a kind of fish with extremely strong vitality, and its meat is not very delicious.
But now, they are a delicious treat...
But the mud there was deep, and when the sticky mud around him almost reached Barbara West's waist, he became timid.
After turning her body with difficulty, Barbara West slowly backed out.
The Black Swamp is still the Black Swamp. Even if it does not have the dark magic as stated in the legend, it is not something that can be conquered by mortals relying on their flesh and blood.
Barbara West needs tools, but unfortunately this body is all he has left...
As time goes by, the star's light becomes increasingly brighter.
The entire Black Swamp was shrouded in a haze of hot air.
Barbara West knew he had to leave.
Otherwise, something bad will happen.
According to the wizards, it was the power of sunlight that was battling the magic of the Black Swamp, and any mortal creature that approached it would be affected by this sacred battle.
Barbara West thought the wizard was talking nonsense because he failed to solve the problem of everyone starving to death.
Barbara West didn't understand the wisdom of wizards, but if a wizard couldn't lead everyone to fill their stomachs.
Even among wizards, he should be a very useless guy...
If I could become a wizard, I would first make sure everyone has enough food!
Barbara West, who was almost starving, thought so.
At this moment, Barbara West, who had been exploring the swamp ground, suddenly discovered a deep depression!
fish?!
Or something else?
Barbara West's eyes lit up, but soon they disappeared.
Because he thought of something unfortunate but increasingly common recently...
Barbara West trembled as she slowly put her right hand into the concave mud.
Just when he was ready, the hair might suddenly be touched.
Suddenly, a strange, slippery touch came from between the fingers!
Barbara West pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
This violent action consumed his limited physical strength. Barbara West was breathing heavily and seeing stars.
The unknown hissing sound in my ears became more intense, as if something was roaring beside me.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Barbara West calmed her breathing and felt no pain.
This means that the thing is not alive.
This is both good news and bad news.
But Barbara West had few choices...
Gritting her teeth, Barbara West reached her hand in again.
According to the vague location in his memory, he quickly touched the area that had obviously become wet and cold.
Then Barbara West felt as if she had touched something hard.
Not big, feels...
Um?
Kind of like a jar?
Barbara West pulled the hard object she felt out of the deep mud.
Then he discovered that it was indeed a jar.
It's just that the material is a bit strange and it seems to be damaged.
Barbara West didn't think twice as he turned the broken opening downward.
Prepare to pour out all the dirty water inside and see if there are any fish or shrimp hiding in it.
Then, something happened that gradually horrified Barbara West:
The dirty water in the can was poured into the mud, making an unsettling hissing sound.
poisonous?
Barbara West's hand trembled slightly as she held the jar.
This behavior reminded him of something dangerous.
Then, Barbara West noticed that time seemed to be moving at an unusually slow pace.
It was a small jar and it took a long time to empty it.
Just when Barbara West realized something was wrong, his eyes suddenly widened:
The liquid that had already poured out suddenly disappeared!
Then, the jar started pouring liquid again!
magic?
still?
Barbara West didn't know...
He timidly extended his index finger.
But after thinking about it, he retracted it and stretched out his little finger which had less effect.
Barbara West then ran her fingers over the liquid at great speed.
There was no corrosive feeling as imagined, but an unexpected coolness came from the fingers.
Barbara West hesitated, and images of the wizard's handling of his strange potions gradually emerged in his mind.
So Barbara West stuck out her tongue and licked the unknown liquid on her little finger...
hiss……
An indescribable feeling filled Barbara West's mind.
It is a kind of endless yearning of human beings for beauty, it is a hungry body's inexhaustible desire for food!
The bright light of the stars above our heads seemed to have become much dimmer.
Across the scorching sky, Barbara Weiss seemed to see the endless starry sky...
An indescribable feeling was rising in his soul.
In a trance, he saw a meteor falling.
That is the great forerunner, going to his rest...
In the blur, Barbara West seemed to sense the whisper of the earth.
It turns out that not all the witches in the village are fooling people...
Barbara West thought so.
Well, now, I should be a wizard too ...
Barbara West straightened the jar, and some of her originally vague ideas gradually became clear...
He gritted his teeth and gulped down the liquid in the can!
A sublime pleasure made his scalp tingle and numb!
The stomach, which had never been exposed to such things, made a loud noise like thunder.
But Barbara West did not indulge in this great joy. She knew that the joy and energy brought by these liquids were temporary and false.
He wants to go back with his people to conquer and reclaim this black swamp!
…
…
Maybe he could write a good story?
On the other side of time, the elder whispered.
