Chapter 546 (2/2)

Along the way, Ansa briefed Ye Cang in detail about what happened in the marsh. The worm men which they faced just now were scary beings in this place and their main base was at the far east side. However, no one had ever been there. In the center of the marsh, it was the lizard man’s assembly point. It was also a place where most of the tribe would assemble at a certain time period. They would then return to their respective homes after that. On the further south, it was a place where most of them did not dare to go to. It was known as the dead marsh. Many deadly living creatures lived there, including the nine-headed monster. As for the west, near to the sea, it was not that dangerous as most of the lizard man tribe lived there. Among them, they trade with a certain currency called Endoss Special Rock Coin.

“Since there are seldom human travelers coming to the marsh, your smell will easily attract the helminths attacks. But you have the worm man’s breath, I bet it covers your smell. If not, coming so far would be difficult and dangerous. Here we are. Welcome to the Keane tribe.” Ansa led the team to the swamp pond. There were many simple wooden houses surrounding it. The houses were simple until an extent which they looked like dens instead of houses. Hundreds of lizard men, young and old, came to welcome them, curious about Ye Cang and the others.

Seeing the chief and the others coming home safely, the villages cheered loudly. Chala explained Ye Cang’s and the others background and told the villagers that it was they who saved the chief and the others.

“Congratulations your reputation in the Keane tribe has reached respected.” The system message popped up.

Using the draconic, Ye Cang greeted the lizard men who came to welcome them. With Ansa’s lead, they then arrived at his big wooden house.

“Once again, I express my gratitude for your help. I have nothing that I can offer to you guys so if there’s anything that I can help you out with, please do let me know.” Ansa gradually sat and asked them to sit too. He then signaled his men to serve the food. What came to Ye Cang’s surprise was that there was wine in the house. “You guys brew wine too?’

“Nope. There isn’t any material that we can use to brew wine. People say that dwarfs can’t survive without wine and so do us. The stronger the wine, the greater our fighting spirit and power. Hence, despite risking our lives, we would still go to the assembly point to buy wine.” Upon hearing what Ansa said, everyone was surprised. Since they did not know how to brew wine, then where did this wine come from?

“Every year, the beastman and the frog tribe merchants who connect the swamp will bring wines to join the assembly.” Knowing everyone’s doubt, Ansa explained. Little Ye Tian then thought about it. This is a good business. They have frogs and we have fishman. We can have our men coming here consistently. The east side was near the sea, right? We can land there.

“Besides, in the swamp, there lives another dangerous creature, Geisel. It roams around the entire Endless Swamp. However, there’s nothing to be afraid of as it won’t simply attack the travelers or tribes. If you happen to see it, don’t panic and don’t bother it. Just walk around it.” Ansa took a sip of the wine and seemed to enjoy it. It was true that he loved wine a lot.

“Geisel?” Ye Cang asked.

“No one knows what kind of creatures it is or how long it has lived for. We only know that it is enormous in size as if it was a moving mountain. Its skin is as hard as steel. Looking at it, you will feel that it can crush you easily into meat pound.” Ansa smiled bitterly.
