No Man's Land (3)
Linzhi was not in a hurry and just stood there waiting for its reply.
Listening to the endless stream of heart voices constantly entering her ears.
She couldn't help laughing on the inside.
It's not a ferocious beast at all, it's clearly just a bigger cat.
"Have you thought it over? Just answer these simple questions, and I'll not only let you go, but I'll also give you this meat."
"Or do you want to become my experience value?"
At the end of the conversation, Lin Zhi changed the subject and her voice became cold.
It was as if as soon as it heard it say no, its life would end instantly.
The Bengal tiger's body suddenly shook and its head shook like a rattle.
But it had forgotten its posture at the moment, and this shake of its head, coupled with its huge body.
Countless trees broke and fell, and some weak rabbit-like creatures fled, stirring up a pile of broken leaves.
Linzhi: There is no need to be so excited.
Bengal Tiger: (I choose to answer the question!)
"Very good." Lin Zhi smiled.
The Bengal tiger carefully stood up, then sat up straight with its legs crossed, its paws humanely crossed.
If you ignore its huge size, it looks a lot like the emoticon package "Cat is nice.jpg".
It was anxiously waiting for Linzhi's question.
"How do I get to the Nether Swamp?"
The Bengal tiger was slightly stunned.
It thought Linzhi was going to ask some profound question and was worried about what to do if it couldn't answer it.
I didn't expect it was just asking for directions.
It knows the answer to this question.
(Keep going in this direction.) The Bengal tiger raised its furry paw and pointed. (You will see rows of large trees connected together.)
(Following the edge of the tree, you will see a group of trees with black fruits.)
(At this time, walk a few hundred meters to the right side and you will enter a foggy area.)
(After passing through the foggy area, you will reach the Nether Swamp.)
The Bengal tiger is not very good at describing things. After all, it is color blind and can only see black, white and gray.
These are the efforts it has made to express using the few brain cells it has.
Lin Zhi heard the sound and looked up into the distance.
A flock of crows flew overhead.
Not only in the distance, but it can be said that there are giant trees everywhere here - towering trees, banyan trees, etc.
The only difference is the variety.
But in the eyes of the Bengal tiger, it does not know the names of the giant trees here, and the colors are all the same, so it can only call them "big trees."
Based on these few words alone, Linzhi felt that he could not find the right place.
Thinking of this, she gently kicked the Bengal tiger's huge and thick butt, "Take me there."
(No, I'm not going!)
The Bengal tiger roared reflexively, its overlapping paws opening to embrace its enormous self.
It seemed as if it had thought of something extremely terrifying, and its entire body suddenly began to tremble.
(There are powerful monsters there. If you go there, you will die...)
"Be good. Take me there or turn me into experience points. Choose one."
Bengal Tiger: Woohoo, how can you say such cold words with a mouth that is 37 degrees Celsius?
The monsters in the Nether Swamp are all above level 50, and they are very territorial.
Once an outsider breaks in, he will be attacked and hunted down until he is dead.
It and its friends had once accidentally entered the aquarium, but its foot was injured at that time, and it was worried that the mist was poisonous, so it did not go in.
Its companion laughed at it and then entered the foggy area, saying something like "Is this the Nether Swamp? It's no different from the swamp before the end of the world."
But soon after they finished speaking, screams were heard from the fog, along with the sound of teeth grinding on flesh and bones.
There was a faint smell of fishy stench and blood seeping through the mist.
It knew the smell and the sound all too well.
He ran without thinking, and his injured leg didn't seem to hurt anymore.
It ran all the way for more than ten kilometers before it stopped.
Because I have experienced it, I am more afraid.
At that time, its companions were all big tigers of nearly level 50, and none of them survived, not to mention that it is now just a small brain axe that is less than level 40.
Woo woo woo, what should I do.
If you take it with you, you will die; if you don’t take it with you, you will also die.
This makes it how to choose.
For the second time, the Bengal tiger felt weak, pitiful and helpless.
The endless stream of thoughts continued to reach Linzhi's ears, and she also understood why the Bengal tiger was so scared.
"Don't worry, you just need to take me to the front of the foggy area. You don't need to go in. You can just leave directly when the time comes."
As he spoke, Linzhi took out another 10 large buckets of animal meat.
"I'll give you a raise."
The Bengal tiger's throat rolled and he couldn't help swallowing.
(Well… okay then.)
It nodded its big head, seemingly agreeing reluctantly.
Alas, it just feels that it should go to other places to have a look.
It is definitely not because of the animal meat that he is willing to lead the way.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Linzhi rode the tiger to an area filled with light gray-white mist.
"Jinjin, check if the mist is poisonous."
[Master, it's not poisonous, you can enter without worry.]
Linzhi turned his head and looked at the Bengal tiger again.
It hadn't left yet, but was just pacing back and forth restlessly, seemingly very anxious and struggling with something.
"Little Tiger, if you don't want to leave, just wait here for me to come out."
I just happened to be lacking a means of transportation.
She had just ridden for dozens of kilometers and felt pretty good.
It's much more comfortable than the Flying Toad's back, after all, it's furry.
Aside from being a little hot, it was a great experience.
Before finding other means of land transportation, Linzhi felt that the Bengal tiger could take on this task.
The Bengal tiger did not answer, and Linzhi did not say anything more, and stepped into the foggy area.
The visibility in the fog is not as low as you might imagine.
Linzhi walked forward about three meters, and the fog dissipated. What came into view was a large swamp with purple, green, and green and black.
The Nether Swamp was very humid, and Linzhi's clothes were already soaked after just a few steps.
The surroundings were very quiet, and the swamp area in front of the view was also calm.
Groups of pitcher plants as tall as a person grow on the edge of the swamp, and a few scattered water hyacinths dot the silent mud surface, adding a bit of bright color to it.
Linzhi looked down at the ground.
She was still standing on solid ground. If she walked further, she would reach the swamp where there was no sign of any living creature.
Even if the Bengal tiger didn't say it, Linzhi would not really think that there were no living creatures living here.
On the contrary, the quieter it is, the more it reveals the unusualness of this place.
The absence of footprints can only mean one thing -
Those things are hidden under the swamp.
Thinking of this, Linzhi became extremely alert, staring intently at the swamp surface, not missing any movement.
The black crystal dog, flying toad, and a group of undead servants beside them also kept their eyes wide open, ready to guard against possible attacks from the surroundings at any time.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, a minute passed.
Nothing happened except Linzhi's breathing.
Another three minutes passed.
Still no movement.
Just waiting like this is not Linzhi's character.
She simply found a palm-sized stone on the ground and threw it hard towards the swamp.
The stone drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell above the swamp with a "bang".
It did not sink slowly as imagined, but sank immediately.
Linzhi didn't blink from the moment she threw the stone, so she clearly saw that the stone was quickly pulled down by a dark "guy".
He was hiding indeed.
A hint of understanding flashed across Lin Zhi's eyes.
The monster inside was probably waiting for her to let down her guard and get close, then drag her into the swamp.
It was a good idea, but she wouldn't be stupid enough to approach the swamp on her own initiative.
Not only that, Linzhi even took back the undead servants that could not fly, such as the Black Crystal Dog, into the storage space, leaving only the [Flying Toad].
Having the others take off and wait for their chance, Lin Zhi called out to the flying toad he had spoken with at the beginning:
"Toad, go to heaven."
The flying toad responded, took Lin Zhi on its back, and then, under her guidance, controlled the flying distance to the height of five or six stories.
Looking at the swamp below, Linzhi curled the corners of his mouth slightly and slowly took out a fishing rod from the inventory.
【Special fishing rod】:
[Introduction: A very strong and durable fishing rod. Neither the fishing line nor the fishing rod will break, and the length can be changed at any time according to the player's wishes.
Durability: 500/500
Note: Besides fishing, perhaps there are other uses?]
This was something Linzhi had opened from the lucky box before. At that time, he thought it was just a fishing rod and put it in the inventory.
I didn't expect it to be useful right away.
She stared at the motionless swamp below, took out a bucket of animal meat and placed it on the back of the flying toad.
Then he took out another piece and hung it on the bait position of the fishing rod.
Next up is the "fishing" moment.
After hanging the bait, Linzhi swung the fishing rod and let out the fishing line.
Keep it just above the swamp, neither sinking nor floating too high.
Worried that the monster below wouldn't feel it, she generously threw a few pieces of meat down.
Give them some sweet treats first.
In the blink of an eye, the fishing line on the fishing rod slid down rapidly.
Hooked!
Linzhi quickly leaned back and began to reel in the line.
There was a huge force coming from his hands, and the weight that was like a huge rock made Lin Zhi's feet slip and he was almost pulled down.
Fortunately, the flying toad reacted quickly and immediately stretched out its long tongue to wrap around the monster.
Helped Linzhi relieve most of the force.
She leaned over and glanced down.
I saw the monster's appearance clearly and also saw its information—
