Chapter 61: The Black Forest (3)

Zero Huang Ya Cry, Holding the Glory to Death, とある Fasting の Intix, thanks to several of the rewards.

――――――――――

When the lion wizard heard the last question, he chuckled and knew that something was wrong.

Why did he stand on a stargazing platform and fight with people and still know that I wasn't in the dungeon?

Memory...... Oh, maybe it was later in his conversation with his friends that if someone went to the dungeon "at that time" and tried to get me out...... It is true that I can be found that I am not there.

"You don't suspect that guy has something to do with me?" The lion wizard Yang raised his flat head and glanced at Shidai obliquely, "Think about it, if I had this kind of ability, things would develop step by step to that kind of course?" ”

"As for the black cards...... I'm sorry, I don't know what kind it is, maybe you can look it up when you get back to the present world and see if it's another thing that Crofodo is doing with nothing. ”

“…… Oh, yes. Although he was not satisfied with this vague and general explanation, Juyo could only choose to believe it at the moment - as the other party said, if that person really appeared because of the lion wizard, it would not be imprisoned in the dungeon, and it could choose to come up and defeat the overlord directly.

"Sorry...... Suddenly, I was suspicious of you, Mr. Lion. Shyly smiling, Shiyo apologized to the Lion Wizard, "Maybe there have been too many things that have happened during this time, which makes me a little nervous, but if you think about it, it really doesn't make sense." ”

"But that guy is really ...... It's too strong, it's just too strong, that kind of tactics, thinking, and the concept of dueling are all things I have never heard of, and he ...... Maybe it should be her? was able to arrange a qiē so perfectly, that kind of idea, that terrible idea was perfectly blended into the opening of the light path by her; Originally, the path of light should have been completely restrained in front of the effect of the dark claw, but this situation seemed to be reversed for her...... The other one of my layouts was in vain in her eyes. ”

"Absolutely, 100% is beyond the level of the Duel King, even stronger than the predecessors, and more than a star and a half."

"Are you so sure of 'her'?" The lion wizard looked at him with a ghostly look, "That guy is really not tall, but the robes he wears are too thick and wide, how can you be sure that it's a woman?" ”

"Ah~" Faced with such a question, Shiyo was stunned at first, and then he made an effort to think, and after holding it for almost a minute, he raised his head cautiously and looked directly into the eyes of the lion wizard.

"My instincts, of course!"

"What the hell is going on!" With a slap to open a cluster of unknown plant leaves attached to his face, Li Bai gritted his teeth and cursed the environment he was in at this time.

A few hours earlier, when she had reached the junction of the Black Forest Corridor (the name of the road), she had been deceived by the good-looking road, and naively thought that she would just have to ride over the rather spacious road.

But the reality tells her that the growth rate of these vegetation is not as balanced as one might expect, and it is not known how long ago the last group of people who came from here did the care, in short...... They had not traveled far before they had to dismount and walk, for the road was almost entirely obscured by sparse or dense vegetation, and although there were still a number of street lamps illuminating them, they had suffered a great loss not long ago for environmental reasons, and it was impossible to continue riding their horses in view of the likely continuation of the assassination attacks.

"Things always go your way." Lilith shrugged and followed her in a pretended old fashion.

The red-haired little girl looked quite happy, her cute little face was full of cheap smirks, Li Bai dared to bet anything, this little bastard was laughing at herself.

Lilith had been complaining to her before, entangled in the fact that Morana only gave Li Bai stockings when giving away the clothes, which may not be a concern but just an imbalance - but at this moment, this imbalance has become another diametrically opposed relationship.

It has an easy-to-understand scientific name called schadenfreude.

If you have to add an adjective, then it can be called ...... Schadenfreude like a stone.

It is estimated that it is only separated from the wetland grassland by a mountain range, and it rained in the dense forest a few days ago, so it seems that it is not small...... The branches and weeds are covered with water stains, and no matter how careful people walk in the forest, they will inevitably get their clothes and shoes and socks wet - this is nothing, and the shoes that Jiang Cheng people originally wore every day were the kind made of some kind of plant that Morana had given to Li Bai before, and it was somewhat similar in structure to sandals, so it was not afraid of wet and watery conditions.

However, Li Bai obviously became an exception, because the pair of stockings that were said to be "luxury jewelry made from the silk of cherished dark spiders".

After being thoroughly soaked in water, the socks became a little heavy, but they were still firmly stuck to her legs and feet because of the water, and every time she walked, there would be a clammy and cold sticky feeling, which was quite uncomfortable.

"It seems that this so-called precious luxury is not good." Pushing aside a cluster of branches and leaves that blocked his vision, Li Bai complained depressedly, "I can't even do waterproofing, it's really useless-"

“…… Even in the modern world, there doesn't seem to be any brand of socks that can guarantee waterproofing, right? Lilith whispered after her, "Socks made of waterproof material, would you like to wear them?" ”

The two of them were talking about each other, and before they knew it, they had been following the team in the jungle for quite a long time.

"After walking for so long, it's almost like going deep into the forest." Thor counted the time and looked back at the members of his team.

Ever since the attack, he has been at the forefront.

"Good work, guys, but we can't stop and rest yet, at least we have to find a place that is a little bigger and less densely vegetated." Seeing that the rest of the team members were not in good shape, more or less tired, Thor felt that it was almost time to rest...... It took them nearly 3 ticks to get out of the canyon, and then they staggered through the jungle to get to this position, fatigue was certain, but in this environment, they didn't want to rest, they had to find a suitable place.

"yes...... yes......" Gava sighed as she followed Thor's ass, "because there's our eldest lady in the line...... I think we should add a few more conditions for her, such as that there must be a stream not far from that place to store zài, so that we can clean and hygienic. ”

"Is this guy so poor on weekdays?" Li Bai sent such a message to Archibald beside him with his eyes.

"Almost." The latter also replied with a look in his eyes.

"Well, that's how bad luck is to man, whatever you do, something will jump out and work against you, like these obstructive leaves......" Gava opened a clump of branches with a little force, and watched its bouncy branches stagnate in mid-air before bouncing back into his face with greater speed, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge the painless blow.

"Oh!" But the unfortunate man walking behind him couldn't dodge, and the branch twitched at his head, knocking him to the ground.

There was an immediate burst of laughter from the team.

"Gava!" Thor scolded with a straight face, "Now the danger has not been lifted, you give me some peace!" ”

"Obey the order, sir—" Gava replied with a bright smile as he spread his hands, "I just want to liven up the atmosphere...... Alright, man, how long are you going to lie on the ground? ”

"Things don't seem right." Archibald stopped Gava from kicking the man, and grimaced the rest of the group away from where he had fallen.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing the other party carefully groping on the body of the fallen person, Li Bai felt quite curious, "That person...... Why hasn't he moved since he fell? ”

"Because his body was paralyzed and could not receive any instructions from his will."

Since the attack, Li Bai had once again seen this terrifying expression on Archibald's face...... With a tense face, he waved all the members of the team to gather on a road that had not yet been covered by vegetation.

"What's going on." Thor turned back from the front.

Archibald glanced at him, turned his crouched body to the side, and flicked his chin to the side with his left hand, exposing his neck.

There are 2 tiny holes that are almost impossible to detect without looking closely. The skin around the hole is now an abnormal yellowish-brown color, accompanied by a slight dry crack.

"The skin here is hard to the touch, like an arid cracked earth." Archibald said.

"I guess you can't be wrong...... This is a good thing that the earth spider did. ”

"Okay...... It's just that the venom of the young spider will subside on its own after about two scales. ”

"Earth spiders? How could there be a ground spider here? Lilith, who heard him speak, couldn't help but retort, "There shouldn't be such a bug Floris?" ”

"Do you know anything about this, Liz." After keenly catching the word "spider" from the dialogue, Li Bai quietly moved a few steps outside.

"Well, Sister Tempel in the academy has raised a batch of these bugs, I haven't seen them with my own eyes, but the teacher told me about some of their characteristics, according to her, this bug is almost extinct for various reasons."

"And...... And the earth spider should prefer a dark and dry environment, it has just rained here, and it is the time of wetness...... Even if there are traces of them in the Black Forest, they should hide in the crypt at this time......"

"Unless ......"

Speaking of this, the red-haired girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she turned her head to stare at Li Bai's legs.

Or rather, staring at the pair of black stockings with a hint of purple that wrapped around her legs.

"Alas...... I should have thought of it a long time ago. Under Li Bai's inexplicable gaze, she held on to a lampstand with some prostration, covered her face and shook her head slowly.

"I've never had anything good with you."

……

"What the!" At the other end of the Black Forest, a demon made up of purple mist cursed fiercely.

"How can there be earth spiders here? Isn't this damn bug extinct? ”

There were a dozen or so people lying in front of him, and not far away was a simple camp that was being built, because of the large number of people, he chose to order his subordinates to cut down the grass and trees here and clear an area for camping and resting.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find an open space in the Black Forest where a team of three hundred people could rest.

These people are not as blessed as the one in Li Bai's team, not only the skin around them that was bitten, but all the skin on their bodies has become that hard and cracked state.

"The skin of a person bitten by an adult earth spider will harden into a 'shell' with a texture similar to that of a rock, and if the corresponding earth spider that has bitten them is not killed within two ticks, every organ tissue under their skin will slowly melt into gravy." Red stood beside the Majin and explained to him the dangers of the insect venom as he lifted his chin and seemed to be thinking about something else.

It is likely that the Black Forest is connected to all the Holy Realms, and his current research results indicate that this rumor is likely to be true, and the inexplicable appearance of the Earth Spider now adds to the truth of this speculation.

"Well, are you going to save them?" Looking at his angry Majin companion, Red held out his little thumb and began to pick his nostrils.

"The power of the earth spiders is the special effect of venom and the cobwebs in their nests, and the combat ability of the main body is 0 after excluding these two, because their body structure is very weird, and it is not the same as ordinary spiders, so it is not difficult to kill them."

"It's up to you to have the time to spare."

"Don't make fun of me, Mr. Red." The demon smiled wryly and shook his head, "I know that Lord Blauss gave me the order to find and protect that woman - how can I have time to hunt down those goddamn bugs now?" ”

"As for these fellows...... "He looked at the dozen or so wretched creatures on the ground with pity.

"Count them out of luck!"

"Take it easy." He lowered his upper body and poked his hand at a guy who was rolling his eyes frantically.

It seems that he was frightened by the Majin's renunciation declaration.

"I will let you die without pain...... You don't want to be a gravy drink for those ugly things, do you? ”

“…… Then I think you should speed up the operation efficiency of the whole army. Looking through the rest of the poisoned people, a cold glint flashed on Red's lenses.

"There was a gap of half a scale between the time the accident happened and when we found them, and the adult earth spiders weighed about 30 kilograms, and they had enough strength and time to bring their prey back to their nests...... But they only symbolically took 2 people. ”

"After these people were poisoned and fell, the spiders continued to bite and scratch on them, making some marks, which looked like they were searching for something."

"What do you want to say?" The Makai and a cyan worm-man who resembled an alien creature coming from the other side looked at each other and turned their heads together to ask.

"I mean." With an elegant flick of his index finger, the nose that had been crumpled into a ball flew away, and Red took out a small notebook from the inner pocket of the white coat he was wearing and flipped through it.

"The target you are searching for and protecting is likely to be targeted by a group of '' spiders."
