The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 835

The great eagle was shocked and started screeching at Glorfindel again.

"This is impossible! I was here not even half a month ago. I clearly remember this place being full of sick and dying pines, and it was covered in snow!"

Glorfindel carefully observed around and said.

"You weren't wrong, my old partner. This place was a pine forest not too long ago. But the pines were all taken down....to become food."

He picked up a rock and threw it into the water. The water bubbled and dirt started evaporating. A reed lifted itself to reveal the rotting trunk of a pine tree half-submerged in the water. The roots from multiple reeds extended themselves like tentacles to firmly grab the pine trunk, absorbing the nutrients within.

Glorfindel walked to the edge of the swamp and extended his hand to touch the surface of the water. The water did not give off the cold sensation of molten snow; in fact, it was even a little warm. The warmth must be the cause of a swamp appearing at the foot of a snowy mountain.

What perplexed Glorfindel was, the impression a swamp give should be that of a decaying and smelly environment. It should be full of swamp vines, rotten thorns and other such plants. When one took a step in a swamp, one's foot would submerge into the dirt with a disgusting splash.

However, the new swamp in front of him gave off a clean and fragrant impression, and was brimming with life!

The water of the swamp wasn't crystal clear. From afar, it looked a mysterious azure blue, stopping one from seeing the bottom. Water lily-like plants floated at some places where the water was deep. Some of them had even absorbed enough nutrients to produce flower buds. Those should be the source of the aroma in the air.

But at some parts where the water was shallow, one could actually see the tender white roots of the green-coloured plants that floated above the water. Some brown-striped snails and mussels could even be seen digging into the mud at the bottom. There were also some yellow- and black-striped fishes swimming around.

The swamp was so full of life that it was terrifying! It gave the impression that with every passing second, the swamp would grow a bit bigger.

Glorfindel snorted and walked into the water. Maybe it was due to the refraction of light, but the part of the water that only seemed knee-deep actually reached his waist! Soaking in the warm water actually felt pretty comfortable.

The water splashed and a strange fish was caught between thumb and index finger of Glorfindel's left hand!

The fish was camouflaged quite well. From afar, it looked like a floating leaf. The fish struggled for its life in Glorfindel's hand.

Glorfindel exerted some pressure with his fingers to force open the fish's mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth. The fish gave Glorfindel a menacing look and actually started to hiss like a poisonous snake.
