Chapter 431 Betrayal and revenge, the expansion of Swamp Witch! (Please subscribe)
Time flies by like water.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
For Green Water Swamp, there is almost no change in this time. The swamp is still the same swamp, the trees are still the same trees, and even the creatures living in it have not changed much.
If people live in it, it is easy to blur the perception of time.
But to the outside world, two months is enough time for many things to happen.
For example, greed, extortion, killing, and escape.
Wow!
In the swamp, two embarrassed figures were supporting each other, stepping on the mud that was deep and shallow, and walked towards the depths.
“Don’t worry, they won’t dare to chase you in.”
The young hunter comforted his newlywed wife beside him.
Occasionally I look back, my eyes filled with hatred that cannot be resolved.
In just two months, he seemed to have matured a lot, but this was not without cost, such as one of his blind eyes and the numerous scars on his body.
Those were all "gifts" left by the interrogators in the noble's dungeon.
For young hunters, the experience during this period can be described in one sentence, that is, from heaven to hell.
After hunting the pearl bird, although they dedicated the most precious pearl to the swamp witch, the remaining feathers were still a small fortune. They sold them to a businessman and got a lot of money. of remuneration.
Then he used this reward to successfully propose marriage to his neighbor, and married Jenny, whom he longed for day and night, as his wife. Then he obtained a small piece of land and began to build his own house.
Seeing that everything was going on the right track and moving towards a better life, disaster struck in an instant.
The nobles who learned the news from the merchants rushed to the hunter's house with their people and asked them for the precious pearl.
Although the hunter and his son knelt on the ground and swore that the pearl had been dedicated to the legendary swamp witch, the nobles did not believe it at all and took the two into the dungeon and tortured them severely.
Maybe it's not that he doesn't believe it, but that the value of the pearl is too high, and the lives of the two hunters are too low, so in the eyes of the noble, even if there is only one percent hope, it is still profitable for him.
The left and right are just two humble lives. If they die, they will die.
In this way, the old hunter was tortured to death, while the young hunter pretended to change his story, saying that he had hidden the pearl, and then got rid of the nobles' pursuit while leading them to find it. , and also met his new wife.
So he took her all the way into the green water swamp.
He was convinced that the nobles did not dare to catch up, because if no one led the way, this dangerous swamp would swallow the lives of all reckless people.
"Is the pearl hidden in the swamp?"
His wife Jenny looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, grabbed his arm tightly, and asked softly.
As a peasant woman, she has never left the village too far in her life. The damp, cold, slippery and dangerous scene of the swamp is tantamount to hell for her.
“The pearl was really taken away by the witch.”
Faced with his wife’s inquiry, the young hunter could only smile bitterly.
He was telling the truth, but no one believed him. Even his wife beside him was doubting him.
"Then what are we doing here?"
Jenny was stunned when she heard this and looked at him suspiciously.
Since you didn’t hide the pearl here, why did you risk it?
You must know that the danger in this swamp is probably more terrifying than the pursuit of the nobles!
"Revenge!"
The young hunter gritted his teeth and took out a pearl bird feather from his arms.
"I want to avenge my father, and all of them must die!"
His eyes were filled with the flames of hatred.
The swamp witch took away the pearl, but also gave them an agreement. The old hunter was as afraid of snakes and scorpions, but the young hunter remembered it in his heart, so he left a feather privately, thinking that he would be prepared.
But I didn't expect that it would be used so quickly.
He told his wife about the agreement with the swamp witch, but what he received was an increasingly suspicious look.
But he doesn't care. As long as the Swamp Witch appears, facts will prove that everything he said is right.
Soon, the two came to the place where they last met the swamp witch. After lighting a fire to dry his clothes, he couldn't wait to throw the pearl bird feather into the fire. The burning smell dissipated in the air along with the curls of smoke.
He looked at the water expectantly. Five minutes passed, and ten minutes passed.
The green figure he was expecting never appeared. Instead, he heard a noisy sound coming from behind him.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and fell to the ground.
Looking around, he saw the newlywed wife holding a blood-stained stone in her hand and retreating in panic.
“You”
The young hunter was in disbelief. His heart was filled with painful betrayal, and he was speechless for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, several human figures walked out from the woods behind them. They were the pursuers of the nobles.
"Damn it, all your efforts and time were wasted, it turned out to be a lunatic!"
The leader was a bearded man, who came over and kicked the young hunter hard twice.
"Haha, idiots are idiots. You think you can meet your wife by chance on the way to escape. This was all arranged by us!"
"If she hadn't left traces along the way, we wouldn't have found it here!"
He laughed proudly, feeling his IQ advantage: "I ask you again, where is the pearl hidden? "
The young hunter did not speak, but stared at his new wife. The latter lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, looking ashamed: "Yes, I'm sorry, they took my family and threatened me. , I don’t want to either.”
“What nonsense, kill him quickly and leave here, I don’t want to stay in this damn place any longer!”
A pursuer urged.
"Hey, I can only blame you for your bad luck."
Luxury pulled out the knife from his waist and was about to stab the hunter.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A few green vines hung down from the nearby trees and wrapped around his wrist like a snake, hanging him up.
"Whose fate do you think is bad?"
Along with the joking voice, a graceful figure strolled over from the water of the swamp.
Clothed with vines and bark, decorated with thorns and flowers, his green eyes were like gems, looking at the people on the shore with a half-smile.
"Witch!"
"Swamp Witch!!"
The next second, screams rang out one after another, and the pursuers on the shore retreated in horror as if they had seen a ghost.
The terrifying legends about witches in their minds made them immediately lose the idea of confrontation.
Swish, swish, swish!
However, it was easy to come, but it was difficult to leave. Branches and vines blocked the way, hanging these people up one by one, howling in mid-air, begging for mercy.
"Young hunter, you can tell your request now."
The witch smiled and looked at the hunter.
"I want revenge, I want to kill all those damn nobles!"
The hunter climbed up from the ground, with the flame of revenge burning in his eyes.
“Tsk, tsk, this is not an easy request to fulfill?”
The witch’s eyes flashed and she spoke.
"Isn't it possible?"
The hunter suddenly felt cold.
"Of course - yes!"
The witch lengthened the syllables and gave the answer in the hunter's anxious expression.
"Just right, I need a guide to go out."
She stretched out her white arms and gently shook a necklace on her wrist, and a purple halo emerged.
Then, there were waves in the swamp, and white bones came out of the water.
"It's time for the people outside to surrender to the great master of the swamp."
