Chapter 380: Crisis in the Forest
Nearly 3 days have passed since the departure from the forest village, and although I have seen many small-sized monsters during this time, none of them will take the initiative to attack them, and they seem to treat them as harmless existences.
When he first encountered those monsters, Xiluo was fine, but the others looked terrified.
This is the Giant Wood Forest, one of the two forbidden places in the Northern Continent, with two major dangers, namely the herd and the plant.
And the small-sized monsters they saw were basically living in groups, and as long as they saw one, they were basically sure that their group was nearby, how could this not make them frightened.
If it's just an individual, it's easy to deal with, but as long as a small group appears, they can only become each other's rations.
Being ignored by them made everyone very happy, but it also filled them with doubts, but fortunately, Vasi, as an employer, quickly gave an answer.
"I used a special incense that doesn't do people harm, but it makes monsters see us as one of our kind."
This explanation immediately made everyone's eyes widen, and their faces were full of disbelief.
How could there be such an ungodly thing, if the number of such things is enough, doesn't it mean that it can be unimpeded in the forbidden area?
Vasi seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and immediately added: "This thing is not so easy to use, it is okay to deal with some monsters that have no intelligence, but if the monsters also have a high level of intelligence, then we will be more dangerous." ”
Although Vassi explained the flaws of the incense, everyone didn't feel how bad the prop was.
The periphery of the forbidden area is full of monsters without any intelligence, and using this is completely enough to save your life, who will have nothing to do and run to the center or even the center!
Running to death?
Because of the help of that incense, everyone relaxed a lot in the following trip, and even began to talk and laugh.
At the beginning, they all regarded each other as competitors, they didn't talk to each other much, and even watched out for each other, and they didn't know how, but after so many days, everyone actually started to chat, although there was still some estrangement, but it seemed that they were also a lot more harmonious.
It's just that what everyone didn't notice was that Vasi had been lowering his head slightly and frowning since he explained the incense, as if he was thinking about something.
After about half a day, the team stopped again and began to set up camp for repairs.
Because there was no fighting on the road, and because of the effect of incense, the spirit was not very tense, so they did not accumulate much tiredness.
If it weren't for the hunger, they wouldn't have stopped.
"Hey, Mask Boy, I have this here, do you want to have some?" Lucy suddenly walked up to Xiluo, reached out without the slightest thought, hooked his neck, and then shook the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a wicked smile.
Xiluo didn't reject the other party's behavior so much, so he nodded, reached out and took the wine bottle, took the mask off his face, and took a sip.
Suddenly, the spicy sensation stimulated his taste buds, making his whole face wrinkle together.
Unpleasant!
Super unpleasant!
Seeing Xiluo's somewhat distorted expression now, Lucy laughed out loud, laughing so much that tears came out.
When the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh.
However, at this moment, Xiluo stood up suddenly, and the wine bottle "snapped" and rolled to the ground, and the wine was thrown out along the mouth of the bottle, splashing on the ground.
At this time, his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his left hand was back on his face, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if a terrible monster would pounce out of the darkness at any time.
Although Xiluo is outside the guard, in the eyes of everyone, it is different.
"Isn't it? So angry? Lucy pursed her lips and said heartlessly after noticing the change in Xiluo.
"Xiluo, Sister Lucy is just joking, there's no need to be so angry." Bond also stood up, wanting to explain Lucy and ease Xiluo's mood.
Even Rosa stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Laxiluo's clothes, and she stopped talking.
Xiluo is her husband after all, and according to what she knows about Xiluo, it should be impossible for Xiluo to be angry because of this trivial matter, but the current situation makes her a little unable to judge.
And at this moment, Shadow, who had been silent, also stood up, stretched out his hands to his waist, grabbed the hilts of the two scimitars respectively, and was also on alert.
"Idiot." Wendy muttered disdainfully, then glanced at Xiluo in some surprise.
She didn't stand up like Kiraku and Kage, but gently patted the doll bear in her hand.
A surprising scene appeared, and I saw that the doll bear actually started to move!
It flipped off Wendy's lap, then turned around and took a few steps forward to a position.
This position happens to form a triangle with Xiluo and Shadow, enveloping everyone inside.
Seeing this, anyone with a little eyesight can sense that something is wrong.
At this time, Vasi also stood up, patted the weeds stuck to his buttocks, picked up the bamboo poles placed on the ground, walked to the direction of the carriage without hurrying, and then turned over and entered the carriage.
Lucy put away her smile as well, picked up the weapon that had been set aside, and then removed the leather wrapped around the weapon, revealing a two-meter-long greatsword.
Bond was stunned for a moment, then he took the bow from his back in a hurry, and drew an arrow from his quiver, and became equally vigilant, but he was more nervous than the others.
Everyone entered a state of imminent battle, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became solemn.
It didn't take long for the sound of Suosuo to reach everyone's ears from all directions, and suddenly nearly half of the people couldn't help but tighten the weapons in their hands, and a trace of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Only Sillo, Rosa, and Wendy remained calm.
Although they heard a threatening voice, it was still some distance away from them, and it would take some time to get closer to them.
In the time of waiting, everyone felt a huge pressure, if it weren't for the fact that they were transcendent, their ability to resist pressure was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the fear of waiting for the threat to approach was enough to make an ordinary person collapse.
"It's coming!"
I don't know who shouted this, and then everyone saw a large number of vines spreading from all directions, densely entangled with each other, and it made people's scalps explode when they looked at it!
