Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

The waves gently hit the side of the boat, and the sun trees far behind us emitted an orange glow like the afterglow of the sun.

The Water Dragon slowly moved forward, and could see a large amount of lush water plants growing in the clear water, with many small aquatic monsters shuttling among them.

Fan Wei carefully docked the boat in front of a wide root that was undulating on the water.

Everyone stood on the deck, gazing at the Moon Tree towering into the sky more than ten kilometers away. Its roots stretched all the way here, which was truly breathtaking and magnificent.

"Let's row the boat in. There are too many obstacles here, and the Water Dragon can't go in."

Let’s drop the anchor, Fan Wei turned around and suggested.

The adventurer who named this place Yuanshui Fuzhai has well summarized its characteristics.

Judging from the map, this swamp only has land in the center. The outer area is actually floating land surrounded by gnarled roots. Aquatic plants and even trees grow on the thick roots, blocking large ships from entering.

Fortunately, there was a small boat on board, which could be used as a lifeboat as well as for exploring the landing.

Putting down the boat, several people rowed into the forest on the water. The water reflected the golden and blue light, and the noisy chirping of birds could be heard all around. From time to time, shadows as big as windmills swept across the sky, stirring up strong winds.

The good news is that the bigger the monsters are, the less interested they are in humans, and their prey is often equally large.

Generally speaking, giant monsters will not easily attack adventurers unless they are particularly conspicuous or have entered their territory.

However, even though there were no difficult large monsters, after entering the woods, other monsters of various kinds were still very welcoming to everyone.

Whoosh—Westan drew his bow and shot some kind of ape-like monster that was rushing towards the boat. As soon as these strange-screaming monkeys came in, they targeted the people rowing the boat, jumping between the branches and chasing them.

"Van, what does monkey smell like?"

Westin, who was already accustomed to tasting monsters, asked curiously while shooting rapidly.

Fan Wei reached out and grabbed a dead monkey, and discovered that it was a monster commonly seen on the islands, named water ape.

This primate monster has fins between its claws, which allows it to move as fast as the wind among tree branches and is also extremely agile in water, much like a water monkey.

"The meat is quite hard and looks like it needs to be dry-cooked. Adding some dried chilies would make it very fragrant."

After putting the captured water monkey into the storage space, he swung his sword and chopped it hard, hitting the head of the water monkey that had come up from the bottom of the water to attack him.

Although there are a lot of them, in the eyes of the crowd whose average level is 11-12, these level 8 and 9 monsters are no longer enough.

After leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, the aquatic monkeys retreated quickly, no longer insisting on eating meat. Some monkeys even angrily threw hard wild fruits to vent their anger.

"Apple? It's one of the few edible things in the maze."

Fan Wei picked up a few fruits thrown by the monkeys and cut them open for observation.

The oval brown fruit grows on a plant called Alpinia serrata. When ripe, it is the size of an egg and has many air sacs between the core and the shell.

It will float on the water surface at first, then be carried away by the current and slowly absorb water, then sink to the bottom of the water and take root and sprout.

When we say it is edible, we mean that the clean water you inhale into it is non-toxic. If you want to try the pulp, you will still be poisoned.

The heavy training and study brought more than just pressure. Now Fan Wei's knowledge level has greatly improved! He can identify many basic maze species.

"We see land!" Norma, who was looking ahead, whispered.

As the tree roots on the bottom of the water gradually became sparse, the boat clanged onto a shallow beach covered with plants. Everyone jumped off the boat and worked together to pull it away from the tide line.

Although there are no tides in the maze, there are often sudden heavy rains, causing the water level to suddenly rise in many places in the woods and islands, washing away things.

"Huh, is this the real second-level wilderness?"

The air is very humid, as if you can absorb water with just a breath. The water surface scattered everywhere is very quiet, and no one knows what is hidden in it. All kinds of flying insects are hovering in the air, and the mud is full of lush plants.

There are also areas of smelly stagnant water, where bubbles of fermenting methane can be seen rising to the surface of the murky water.

Wild, primitive, muddy and dangerous, this is the swamp beyond the safe route.

"Everyone, be careful. There are many quagmires and poisonous miasma here that can swallow people silently. If you feel something is wrong or uncomfortable, you must speak up immediately."

Rody gave instructions and cast the magic spell of 'Clean Breath' on everyone to help resist environmental damage.

"Fan, what kind of target do you want to catch? Let's go find it quickly!" Yani was still very excited and couldn't wait to start a satisfying hunt.

Fan Wei just smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until it gets a little darker. If you see a large light source, that's it."

A large light source? A glowing monster?

Out of curiosity, everyone set out on a search. Each person took a long wooden stick from a nearby tree and used it as a pathfinder to go deeper into the gloomy swamp.

Buzz - the sound of flapping wings was endless. On the way forward, large insects like shuttles kept swarming towards the team.

Even though the threat is not great, the noise is still very annoying. Moreover, if you are not careful and get bitten on the exposed skin, it will be extremely painful and bleed like a fruit knife cut.

"Damn bugs! Will you get bitten and disfigured?"

Several female team members were trembling. They had armor on their bodies but not on their faces. They couldn't defend themselves against the numerous insects that rushed towards them at once!

It looked like they were about to be eaten by insects before they had even taken a few steps! Fan Wei could only control the black flames to engulf the large cloud of insects, but this would not last more than a few minutes.

“I remember some plants that repel insects.”

Roddy stopped to think of a solution and searched around for useful resources. A few clumps of red cattails caught his attention.

"Torchwood, the smoke from this thing should be able to..."

He walked towards the water, bent down to pick the fruits, and suddenly there was a loud bang! A giant crocodile emerged from the flat mud and bit him!

Rody's pupils were dilated with horror, and he had no time to dodge. Fortunately, Fan Wei was not far away and used an iron mountain to hit the giant crocodile's head, causing him to stagger and avoid being bitten.

The giant crocodile, which missed its target, immediately turned around and aimed at Fan Wei.

The head and tail were nearly ten meters long, and the blue-green scales looked majestic. Westin, who was standing behind, raised his hand and shot an arrow, hitting the giant crocodile in the eye. Bernoulli raised his hand and released a huge wall of fire, which knocked it over and rolled it in the fire.

But the moist water vapor weakened the effect of the high temperature, and the giant crocodile got up again.

Fan Wei ran to the front to attract the crocodile's attention. Yani quickly turned the corner, ready to take the opportunity to attack from the side, and the rapier in her hand quickly drilled into the side.

As long as it breaks through the outer skin, the spiral sword energy can directly crush the internal organs!

But the giant crocodile suddenly swung its tail, and a large number of sharp ice thorns emerged from its jagged back! The sharp spikes pointed straight at Yani who was rushing forward.

Even though she turned around in an emergency, Yani still had several cuts on her body, and blood was gushing out from her abdomen and arms.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest! Within dozens of meters, giant crocodiles emerged from the mudflats, smelling the blood, and swarmed towards the crowd, swinging their limbs.

"Oops!"

He quickly cast a healing spell on his sister. Facing the attack of seven or eight giant crocodiles, Rody stuck his wooden staff into the ground and released a group magic spell, "Blessing of Mother Earth".

This second-level magic can provide defense that is no weaker than a full set of iron armor, but its disadvantage is that it can only withstand one attack.

The journey ahead is still long and we cannot consume too much magic power. How to properly deal with these crocodiles becomes a big problem.

Fan Wei turned his head, exchanged glances with his companions, and quickly adjusted the formation.

Before the giant crocodiles rushed over, he had already gripped the hilt of the knife and took a deep breath.

Next it’s time for a “quick decision”!
