Final Evolution and Escape! Bad News From Rivendell Chapter 55: The Swamp Comes to Life
Chapter 55 The Swamp Comes to Life
Faced with such a more expensive situation, the giant eagle was also shocked. It couldn't help but stammered with Glorfindel:
"This is impossible! When I came here half a month ago, it was still a sickly pine forest, and there was still snow here!"
Glorfindel observed carefully and said:
"You are right, my old friend. Not long ago, this was a pine forest, but it seems that the pine trees were cut off and then... became food."
He picked up a stone and threw it into the water. He immediately saw a series of bubbles coming out of the water, a smoke-like mud rising up, and then a huge reed tilted, and you could see When half of the rotten pine trunk emerged from the water, the long and white roots of several reeds were like terrifying tentacles, tightly wrapped around the trunk of the pine tree and robbing it of nutrients.
Then Glorfindel walked to the swamp, stretched out his hand to touch the water, and immediately felt that the water temperature was not as cold as melted snow, and even a little warm. This should be weird at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The reason for the swamp.
What makes Glorfindel feel strange is that his impression - or the impression of most people - is that the swamp is rancid, turbid, exudes a suffocating smell, grows swamp vines, and rots. If you step on thorns and other plants, you will be deeply inhaled, and then a few disgusting bubbles will pop out, and the dirty mud will stir up.
However, the newly formed swamp in front of it gives people a feeling of cleanness, fragrance and vitality.
The water in the swamp is not completely clear and transparent. Looking from a distance, it has a mysterious blue color. It is difficult to see the bottom at a glance. In these deep water areas, there are floating plants like water lilies with dark green color. The lotus leaves have even begun to accumulate enough nutrients to form full buds. The slight sweetness in the air should come from here.
However, in shallower places, even the tender white roots of some light green plants floating on the water can be clearly seen. You can even see snails and clams with brown stripes on the bottom of the water digging into the soil, and some have yellow roots. Black and white fish swim happily.
That kind of vigorous vitality is simply so exuberant that it makes people feel terrible! There seems to be an illusion that every second that passes, the swamp will grow stronger!
Glorfindel snorted coldly and began to walk towards the water. Probably due to the refraction of light, the clean and transparent water in the swamp seemed to only reach his calves, but in fact if he stepped in, it would actually be up to his waist! The water temperature is not cold. After staying in it for a long time, there is a kind of melting warmth.
Suddenly, the water splashed, and after taking a few steps, Glorfindel suddenly took action. There was a very strange fish between the thumb and index finger of his left hand!
The mimicry of this fish is very sufficient. From a distance, it looks like a fallen leaf floating on the water. However, looking at it now being held between Glorfindel's fingers, it is struggling and jumping around like every fish scale on its body. They have to open up and try hard to break free.
Glorfindel exerted a little force with his fingers, and the fish's mouth suddenly opened, with thin sharp teeth on the edges. It looked at the enemy in front of it with a very ferocious expression, and even hissed like a poisonous snake. the sound of.
As the sound it made spread, an extremely strange thing happened. The plants and animals around started to move rapidly at the same time!
The water lily raised its leaves and sailed along the wind like a sail. The giant reed pulled out its tender white roots and escaped with one foot deep and one shallow. The snail and clam violently dug up the mud with its axe-shaped fleshy feet, thinking To dive deep below.
In a short moment, the vibrant world that appeared in front of Glorfindel disappeared. The only thing that remained unchanged was the water in front of him. It looked very clear up close, but from a distance or where the water was deep, there was even a kind of water seeping through. Arrogant Youlan!
A faint green light shone in Glorfindel's hand. Although he had released the mimic fish, the fish was wrapped in the green light and hovered above it, struggling in agony. It was as if there was an invisible hot pan frying.
In the end, the fish actually bent its body in pain, biting its own tail in one bite, then bit off a mouthful of meat and chewed it hard, and finally dispersed countless light spots and disappeared. in the air.
At this time, Glorfindel's face darkened, and he vaguely felt that perhaps his journey this time was not as easy as he imagined, but he was a powerful Dawn Elf after all! More importantly, he knew Wu Ge's strength as clearly as the lines on his own palm. So I am still full of confidence,
Glorfindel began to recite a long elf incantation. He had used this incantation once not long ago, and the effect was very good. He could feel the natural elements quickly gathering into his body.
However, what surprised Glorfindel was that the time for chanting the incantation was at least three times longer, which showed that there were very few natural elements for him to mobilize. For a moment, Glorfindel didn't care to think too much. After finishing reciting the incantation, he stretched out his finger, pointed it at the water surface, and dropped a drop of golden blood!
After this drop of blood fell, you could clearly see the ring-shaped ripples caused by it falling into the water. There was a faint green light on the ripples, which actually spread nearly a hundred meters away!
Wherever the ripples passed, the seemingly dead swamp immediately became as lively as boiling porridge.
The snails and clams at the bottom of the swamp crawled out of the mud in an instant, and then helplessly opened their shells, revealing their white flesh. A gray shrimp curled up like a pebble at the bottom of the water suddenly jumped out of the water, flying in the air. It loses its life, and when it falls on the water, it quickly rots and stinks.
A water snake suddenly swam out of a half-rotted pine trunk, aimed at Glorfindel and pounced towards him, but it became paralyzed halfway and fell into the water with a splat, exploding into bloody water. A few small stone-like aquatic beetles fled in fear, but after being swept by the ripples of blood, they slowly floated to the surface...
"How dare you show off such stupid and inferior gadgets to me?"
Glorfindel said contemptuously.
But he was quite frightened in his heart. The original plan was to make a big fuss, but he had unknowingly changed his purpose to investigation.
Under the influence of Glorfindel's blood ripples, the strange creatures within a hundred meters of his body either escaped or died. Glorfindel's water quality also seemed to be quite good. When he swam in the water, he seemed to be wandering in a stream. The fish among them have an indescribable sense of leisure and do not make any sound at all.
As he walked further, he felt that in the depths of some swamps, many pine trees seemed to have been deliberately spread out on the bottom of the water. There was a layer of algae growing on the surface. Looking down from the transparent water, it gave a somewhat elegant and tranquil feeling. Of course Glorfindel didn't know that this was Fang Senyan's evil intention to directly plagiarize the scenery of Jiuzhaigou Valley.
After swimming for a while, Glorfindel felt that he seemed to have swam out of the shallow water of the swamp. The water in front of him suddenly deepened, and the color of the water turned as blue as the sea! Of course, he didn't know that he had already passed the pine forest area and arrived at the great lake area where Sheyan and the others first arrived.
After Glorfindel swam here, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. He always had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if something was pressing heavily on his chest.
But if he fails to return without even seeing the city built by Wu Ge, let alone his own fault, even his subordinates will be speechless! It is impossible to tell them that I went to the gate of the city established by Wu Ge, but suddenly I felt uneasy and came back... In this case, the remaining people might have to find a way to find a way out on their own.
So Glorfindel thought for a while, and continued to suppress the strange feeling, and then continued to move forward. But I don’t know why, but every time my eyes focus on the indescribable blue that emerges from the water in front of me, the feeling of depression in my soul becomes a little stronger.
Suddenly, Glorfindel's eyes changed, because he felt the entire body of water, and the entire lake surface was oscillating with slight ripples. He cast four or five magical spells to enhance defense on himself in the first time, such as tree bark. Spells, detect evil, bull power, acceleration... But while Glorfindel was still casting the spell, a huge ship appeared in the distance--oh , no, to be more precise, it should be a pyramid-shaped fortress composed of huge trees!
This fortress covers an area of at least one square kilometer. Its bottom is a giant raft made of tens of thousands of huge logs spliced together and grown together. Only then can it successfully float on the water. There are even many trees growing on the bottom of the logs. The root system can absorb nutrients from water.
Four huge trees grew in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and north on the first level of the giant raft. Their roots firmly grasped the bottom of the giant raft and tied the giant raft together securely. The branches of these trees are like umbrellas forming the second level platform! The second floor looks like a building with elven characteristics, but it is a bit more rough than before. This should be a dwarf style mixed in.
