Chapter 895: Marx and Lenin Return Home

Thick and white mist lingers in the air, like a mysterious veil, blocking the scenery around the swamp.

The water surface of the swamp is as calm as a mirror, with occasional ripples, reflecting the surrounding scenery. Green moss and vibrant aquatic plants cover the thick and diverse fibrous roots of the trees, making the entire swamp appear full of life.

In this quiet swamp, two lizardmen were driving a canoe slowly on the water of the swamp.

The design details of the canoe are also very unique. These canoes are made from a huge tree trunk that is carefully carved and polished to give it a streamlined appearance. The canoe is engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns. These patterns not only have a decorative effect, but also contain special magic circuits, allowing the canoe to pass through mud as well as in water.

The front end of the canoe is carved into the image of a snake's head. This design can not only increase the beauty of the boat, but also play a role in driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil. In the swamp, there is no soldier who is not afraid of the Hydra.

The way the lizardfolk boatman maneuvers his canoe is also unique.

He uses a long wooden oar to paddle the water and drive the canoe forward. His movements are coordinated and powerful. Each stroke mobilizes the muscles of the whole body and generates powerful thrust. One stroke can make the canoe advance fifty or sixty meters.

At the same time, he would also use long wooden paddles to adjust the direction and speed of the boat as needed.

Using only a long wooden oar, he can control the canoe to turn and prance, accelerate and decelerate, and even make the canoe jump briefly.

The passenger sitting in the canoe - a lizard man with scars all over his body - Male.

On Malie's back, he carried a ferocious giant bow, which complemented his powerful muscles.

He sniffed, closed his eyes, and said drunkenly and with emotion:

“It’s incredible.

When I left the mud swamp, it was still a smelly mud puddle.

When I was a kid, there was a sickening stench in the air throughout the mud swamp. The smell comes from the rotting plant and animal carcasses in the swamp, as well as a mixture of various decaying substances, especially the dung of swamp dragons and bulls.

These substances fermented and rotted in this humid environment, releasing a pungent smell that suffocated me as a child.

When I was a child, the water in the swamp was filthy, showing a dark green or black color, and there were all kinds of garbage and debris floating on the water, including dead animal carcasses, rotten leaves, feces, etc. These substances form a thick layer of scum on the surface of the water. Let alone swimming, even getting close here is a psychological burden for me.

We lizard people living in mud swamps have to use bows and arrows to hunt swamp creatures such as river deer, dragonflies, and frogs to make a living in such swamps, endure the stench, and eat them. "

"Hahaha." The lizard man boatman laughed and said:

"That's all old history. The city lord of Mud City applied for a beaver goblin construction team from God's Choice City. Within two weeks, the construction team dug out the waterway of the ocean.

After the seawater poured in, the mermaids used magic to push all the silt and dirt to the bottom of the swamp, forming a humus sediment layer.

Since then, the mud swamp has become clean and fertile.

The mud mushrooms that grow from the bottom of the mud swamp are an essential material for making [acid bottles]. Those lizardmen who contracted the swamp to grow mud mushrooms all made a fortune selling mushrooms.

The most profitable lizard man also built a large lizard nest more than ten stories high in the village. "

Marxist-Leninist opened his mouth, extremely surprised:

"A large lizard nest with more than ten floors? A nest that can directly recruit level 4 lizardmen is only 8 floors high. It has more than ten floors... It can't be a miracle building, right?"

The lizardman boatman replied cheerfully:

"It seems so.

I don’t quite understand this, but the young people in the village say that it is a small miracle building, covering an area of ​​600 square meters. "

Marxist-Leninist:…

Marxist Lenin was silent for a moment, shook his head, and smiled bitterly:

"Ha, incredible, incredible.

A small village like Mud Village actually has miracle buildings.

In my impression, Mud Village has always been small, dilapidated, and extremely dirty.

Whether the villagers of Mud Village are hunting or gathering, it is extremely difficult to survive without food in the village, and there is no development prospect.

Since I was a child, I have made up my mind to leave this dirty and smelly mud village and go to a developed city to establish myself and settle down, so that my children will no longer have to eat smelly river deer and poisonous dragon flies.

Ten years ago, my parents passed away. I left my tribe and went to Mud City alone.

I have worked as a coolie, broken the law, been in prison, been on the battlefield, and been in the grave. I have been deceived by many people and helped by many people. I have made some enemies and made many friends.

I struggled in the big city I longed for for eight years, but I still didn't make a name for myself.

Until two years ago, the great [Chosen by Destiny and Apostle of the Gods] Seven Dove Sage began the exciting [Era of Great Development].

With the full support of the gods, the major forces and thousands of races in the Yasha world work together to develop the wilderness and build cities, making the Yasha world develop rapidly and change with each passing day.

I was lucky enough to get on the big ship of the fortress force's land reclamation group during the [Great Development Era]. I followed the fortress force's land reclamation group to expand the territory and make achievements. I finally made some achievements and accumulated some wealth.

But the little wealth I have accumulated is far from building a miracle-level giant lizard nest.

It's really ridiculous to think about it.

I desperately want to escape from Mud Village, just to give my child a better starting point.

But while I was struggling in the big city, Mud Village developed quietly, and even the speed of development of Mud Village was faster than my own development.

If I hadn't left and continued to stay in my hometown, maybe a giant lizard nest would have been built now, and my child could grow up in a miracle-level giant lizard nest. "

"Hahaha." The lizardman boatman laughed and shook his tail:

"That's not necessarily true. If you stayed in Mud Village, you might still be rowing like me.

Even the smallest village can produce powerful soldiers and heroes, but the powerful soldiers and heroes in the village are definitely less than those in the big city.

It's still better in the big city. "

The lizardman boatman lied, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

The lizardman who made a fortune by selling mushrooms was his son.

He rowed in the swamp every day, transporting lizardmen back home with great effort, just to enjoy the process of others discovering his true identity.

After a lifetime of hardship, he finally had a son that he was proud of, how could he not show him off?

These city lizards who came back from other places didn't know that there were many hidden talents in the village, and the water was deep.

The cunning old lizardmen were all good at showing off in a low-key manner and showing off in front of others.

His son was so outstanding, but he couldn't pretend to be better than others, so he could only rely on his rowing skills to seize the opportunity and lay a foreshadowing first.

The lizardman boatman said to Ma Lie happily:

"Young man, don't belittle yourself, things will change. There are still many days to come.

Two years ago, no one thought that our village could build a miracle building, but now it has been built, right?

You have a bright future in the army. Maybe the next big lizard nest will be yours. "

Speaking of this, the lizardman boatman stretched his neck, stuck out his tongue, and asked Ma Lie:

"Young man, I have been a boatman for so long, and I have been to the big river in the capital to ferry people. I can be considered knowledgeable.

But I have never seen the big bow behind you and the scales on your body that are shining with a faint rainbow light.

Young man, you are not ordinary. You should be the legendary miracle soldier, right?"

"Miracle soldier? Almost."

Ma Lie raised his eyelids, nodded with a bitter face, and said:

"Compared to the young people in my hometown, I am still far behind."

"Each has its own advantages, each has its own advantages."

The lizardman boatman continued with a smile:

"Young man, what are your parents' names? Do you have any acquaintances in the village? ”

“My parents died before I left the village, and only my second uncle is still in the village.

My second uncle is Matt, boatman, do you know him? ”

“Old Matt! Ha! You are actually a relative of Old Matt.” The lizardman boatman’s tone suddenly became familiar.

“Old Matt is the best leatherworker in the village. The inner leather of my canoe was made by Old Matt.

His family has a total of 13 children, and all of them are promising. ”

“Yes, yes, yes! My second uncle is a leatherworker.” Ma Lie stretched out his hand, and on his thumb, there was a circle of severely faded crocodile leather knuckles.

“This is what my second uncle gave me when I left the swamp village.”

“Haha, that’s right! Young man, our two families are still relatives. My sixth son married the third daughter of Old Matt. "

…

As soon as the relatives recognized each other, the topic opened up.

Time passed quietly in laughter and joy.

Before they could finish telling the ups and downs of the two families' stories, the canoe crossed the long mud river and arrived at the [Magic Ferry] in the center of the mud village.

[Magic Ferry] is a special building built beside the river, connecting the water surface and the ground. Usually there are two [Magic Ferry] in a pair.

Its effect is the same as a two-way portal, which can transport an army across the river in an instant.

Two years ago, due to resource problems, [Magic Ferry] was still a luxury like a portal.

But today, a large number of wild monster areas are constantly turning into orderly territories, and resources are overabundant. [Magic Ferry] has become a standard feature of wealthy villages.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic lizardman boatman, Ma Lie crossed the magic ferry, stood at the dock, and looked around.

In the endless swamp, there are the most exotic plants, decorating the fertile water, The setting sun shines on Malie, raising his body temperature, activating his spirit, and making him feel refreshed.

At the entrance of the swamp village, there is a full-body stone statue of the Seven Pigeons. Under the luxurious obsidian base, the name of the Seven Pigeons is clearly written:

《The Golden Sea God Selects the City, the God of Great Mercy and Miracles》

In the Yasha world, such a statue is the standard configuration of every village and every city.

No one knows which village built the first statue of the Seven Pigeons. Everyone only knows that if their village and city do not have this statue, the passing merchants and fairies will not want to come in.

Not only that, those bards who hold various musical instruments and speak humorously will also disdain villages and cities without stone statues.

Malie stood in front of the stone statue of the Seven Pigeons, bowed respectfully to the stone statue, and then walked into the village nervously under the gaze of the stone statue.

Malie stood at the entrance of the village. For a moment, he was timid and had no idea where to start.

After ten years of absence, the swamp village has changed.

The rotten and dirty swamp roads in his memory have all disappeared, replaced by clean and tidy cobblestone roads.

On the cobblestone main road, there are several flat gravel roads leading to all directions.

On both sides of the gravel road, there are swamp lacquer trees that can produce lacquer liquid. Under the swamp lacquer trees, sturdy lizardman nests are arranged very neatly.

These lizardman nests are irregularly circular or oval, and vary in size according to the number of lizardmen living in them.

Lizardmen like cramped and crowded environments, so the internal space of these lizardman nests is relatively narrow, but it is enough to accommodate the activities and rest of lizardmen.

Ma Lie found that the walls and floors of the lizardman nests in the mud village are usually made of natural materials such as soil, leaves and branches, and the color is dark brown or yellowish brown, which blends perfectly with the surrounding natural environment.

This shows that these lizardmen's nests are all formal buildings recognized by the village, which are very different from the temporary nests built by the villagers when he was a child.

Ma Lie's eyes flickered, and his thoughts returned to the past.

When Ma Lie was a child, the lizardmen usually chose a muddy mountain with high terrain and soft soil to dig a cave. After the cave was dug, the lizardmen would also use branches, leaves and other materials to reinforce the walls to prevent collapse-after these two steps, it would be a temporary nest.

This kind of temporary nest would collapse, leak, and be attacked by poisonous flies or dragon flies from time to time. It is far from comfortable, let alone safe.

In order to maintain the cleanliness and safety of the nest, the lizardmen had to set some hidden traps at the entrance to prevent the invasion of natural enemies.

In addition, the lizardmen would patrol around the nest to ensure that the surrounding environment was safe.

Even so, they still had to survive for a while and move to another place. They dared not stay in one place for too long, so as not to be targeted by some powerful swamp creatures such as Deinosuchus.

"In the past, the lizardmen were displaced. To put it bluntly, the food was unstable and the number of tribesmen was too small.

A swamp crocodile can be dealt with by two hundred level 2 [Lizard Warriors] working together.

A large group of red-eyed venomous snakes can be easily eliminated by three hundred lizardmen warriors.

...

But when I was a child, let alone hundreds of warriors, even villages with a population of over a hundred were rare.

But now, times have changed."

Ma Lie's eyes gradually softened. He pulled the bow on his back and said to himself:

"Today's lizardmen no longer need to worry about food.

Any village has a population of tens of thousands, and can easily dispatch thousands of warriors.

In such a large swamp, with countless strange beasts, those who obey me will live, and those who disobey me will die.

We are already strong enough, so strong that our descendants will no longer need to be displaced."
