Chapter 2571 - 858: Avalon, What Kind of Blessing Did You Give? This Is Way Too Freaky!

The Polluted Swamp has been undergoing changes ever since the Transia people conquered Wolf Castle and expelled the Plague Werewolves.

Members of the Avalon Church claimed it was a blessing from the God of Nature to the land, but the specifics of the blessing were unclear to these followers themselves. However, it was certain that after the sprawling Polluted Swamp was included in the Transia frontier, the sense of nature there grew stronger.

It seems the God of Nature had indeed decided to turn the Polluted Swamp, a vital ecological area on the continent, into his sacred land.

But as the decisive battle of the Maginot Line approached, the pace of change in the Polluted Swamp suddenly accelerated, and people soon noticed something was "off" about this blessing.

As for the cause, it was a small accident.

On the player forum, there is a niche section dedicated to the group "fishing enthusiasts," led by "Full Insurance Half Hanging," one of the "Three Administrative Stars," where cyber anglers often share their fishing experiences and disclose some hidden yet thrilling fishing spots.

Clearly, randomly fishing for flying fish by the Kaderman River no longer satisfied these fishing enthusiasts’ appetites, even amidst the Black Disaster, these guys would share what they deemed good spots across the battlefield.

For instance, Yin Tiger, one of the Zodiac Brothers, discovered a secret fishing spot upstream at the Huma River and caught a rare luminous gemstone fish there, even achieving a hidden feat.

Moreover, there are adept werewolf fishers within Hog’s Grey Wolf Army.

While traveling with the Wise Wolf to seek roots, they continually disclosed locations of hidden fish schools deep within the Dark Mountain Range, and some luckier ones even fished a set of dominator-level Spiritual Energy Knight Armor from the third Black Disaster era from an unknown deep pool.

It was pure luck, that armor was put on the player trading platform for less than five minutes before Old Huo, wanting to gift it to his friend, snapped it up—it was really for his secretary and quasi-girlfriend, Biyue.

Such incidents are actually not uncommon in the fishing group board, and there are rumors that if one makes enough casts, they might even hook the legendary "Holy Grail" by a pool, given that the story of Kudler, the People’s Guard, has spread across all players. Everyone knows that Lord Kuder became a Grail Knight simply because he drank water by the pool while gravely injured and inadvertently got lucky.

So in that sense, the chance of fishing enthusiasts randomly fishing up a Holy Grail, although minor, is definitely not zero.

However, for administrative players preferring clerical duties, those amazing fishing spots shared by angling friends are impossible for them to reach; they can only satisfy their fishing interests within the Transia realm. But staying in the newbie village doesn’t mean absolute safety. In a post shared last night, seasoned angler Full Insurance Half Hanging recounted his perilous experience:

Full Insurance Half Hanging: [Damn! How did Man-Eating Flowers grow in the Polluted Swamp? I nearly got swallowed by that creepy thing when I went out fishing earlier. Thankfully, I always wear a helmet while fishing and carry a gun, otherwise, I’d really have to use myself as bait today.]

Grey Big Wolf: [??? I’ve never been to the Polluted Swamp, but aren’t those fishing spots right near Wolf Castle? It should’ve been a safe zone for a long time; how come dangerous things like Man-Eating Flowers appeared?]

Full Insurance Half Hanging: [Haha, how do you know I got a blessing in disguise and caught a big one? Let me show you, picture, picture, picture.]

Yin Tiger: [Damn, typical angler self-conversation! Who the hell asked you how big a fish you caught? We’re more concerned about where you encountered the Man-Eating Flower?

This thing has a thick health bar, carries poison, moves fast, and can self-heal; newbies hardly have any chance to escape once they encounter it.

Dude, quickly share the info, don’t let them wander near the area.]

Full Insurance Half Hanging: [Can you just tell whether my fish is big or not?]

Yin Tiger: [...Big, definitely big. Can something like this really grow in Polluted Swamp’s inland waters? Why does it seem so much like a sea fish to me? Why does the thing have bone spikes on its fins?]

Full Insurance Half Hanging: [I’m genuinely curious too. This thing tastes almost like tuna, but the fishing spot I usually visit is only a maximum of fifteen meters deep, impossible for such a big fish to exist.

Speaking of which, the number of Swamp Tigers in the Polluted Swamp seems to have increased lately; some say they even saw giant spiders while setting mines.

Just the past few days.

Shit! This ecological change is too weird.

Uh, I just found a picture stored in my Treasure Bead from yesterday’s attack, I’ll post it for you to see.]

Full Insurance Half Hanging quickly posted his picture in the thread, documenting the whole process of him being ambushed by the Man-Eating Flower; however, soon someone realized something was wrong.

Mr. Fire: [No way! Half Hanging brother, the thing attacking you isn’t a Man-Eating Flower; it’s scientifically called "Blood-sucking Root," close kin to the Vampire Vine, similar in appearance to the Man-Eating Flower but isn’t the same plant, it doesn’t have the deep roots or attack power of the Man-Eating Flower.

But they are vine-like and won’t appear alone.
