Chapter 142: Whispering Jungle

The far northeast is home to volcanic hot springs, and the jungle stretches out along the hot spring basin like a ribbon of turquoise, adding a touch of life to the snow-covered mountains of the Northland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hot springs nourish this fertile black soil, and the jungle is already warm as spring just after winter, breeding for mosquitoes and insects that make travelers through the forest feel uncomfortable.

Syllable!

The dwarf slapped himself on the cheek, but the cunning mosquitoes poked through his fingers and buzzed around him, as if laughing at his wasted effort.

"If I fall here, Brother Roland, you will set up a monument for me with an epitaph like this: 'Bloom Wrought Iron, a brave warrior, died in the mouth of the mosquitoes'!" The poor dwarf rubbed his swollen face and complained bitterly.

"Now I know why this place is called the Whispering Jungle." Nikita unscrewed a small crystal bottle, poured a little expensive mint water into her palm, gently patted it on the tender white skin exposed outside the cloak, and complained angrily: "No one dares to speak loudly in the forest, otherwise it will attract a large number of mosquitoes, this day is really difficult, who chose this path?" Can't we go down a path free of mosquitoes? For example, rowing up the river? Really! ”

Lyudmila shrank her head back in a weak heart, and although she also suffered from mosquito bites, she pretended to be indifferent, whistling, and her eyes drifted to the sky. Bright sunlight pours through the shade of the trees, gilding each leaf with a beautiful and hazy golden border.

Roland hadn't been bitten by mosquitoes, but his companion was in distress, and he couldn't just show sympathy, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had to do something to give everyone some psychological comfort.

Thinking like this, he stopped, waved his hand to signal everyone to withdraw 30 feet away, and silently recited the prayer.

The Sindra Holy Emblem in his hand buzzed and trembled, transforming the two "Scolding the Undead" into more lethal negative energy, and the moment it accumulated to its peak, it was suddenly released. With a bang, a circle of pitch-black negative energy shockwaves exploded in the forest, like a whirlwind cloud, instantly destroying all the mosquito clusters around Roland and the others.

The vitality of these little pests is very weak, and when converted into game data, the HP is only a little bit. Roland's "blasphemy sucking" is not very powerful, but it is enough to kill mosquitoes. In an instant, the annoying humming around disappeared, and the negative energy fluctuations sucked the mosquito essence dry, and quickly rolled back into Roland's body.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, the tall and handsome knight's eyes were bright and bright.

"Most creatures in nature instinctively reject negative energy, mosquitoes are no exception, there is still a high concentration of negative energy left in the breath I exude, which can scare off mosquitoes in a short time, let's hurry up and get on the road."

Veronica was not bitten by mosquitoes, and followed Roland's footsteps with a leisurely mood of walking in the woods, and said whimsically: "Mosquitoes suck our blood, and Mr. Roland sucks mosquito blood with 'blasphemy sucking life', which is equivalent to Mr. Roland indirectly sucking our blood......"

Roland glared back at her, "So it's all my fault?" ”

"On the contrary, it is not so uncomfortable to think about being bitten by mosquitoes." The female ninja smiled.

Roland looked at her smiling face and shook his head speechlessly. This girl obviously has a pure face, and her figure is also... Well, it's very commensurate with his pure temperament, but he can always say some hot and ambiguous words without being shy, which is simply weird.

"Little nymphomaniac, save it!" Lyudmila couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to knead the pink cheeks of the female ninja: "I haven't seen you bitten by mosquitoes, is it because you are all bloodsuckers?" ”

"There are five of us here, and it stands to reason that we all have an equal chance of being bitten by mosquitoes, but this is not the case, mosquitoes never bite Roland and Ronnie, and I have to suspect that there is some kind of dirty business between them and mosquitoes." Nikita slapped the toilet water on her body, and the mosquito harassment didn't stop her from opening her mind.

"In fact, it only goes to show that mosquitoes are not stupid, they don't bother to bite creatures with natural defenses, such as me and Ronnie." Roland smiled and told the truth.

He has +2 Innate Defense granted by Excalibur "Durandal", and Veronica has the racial talent of +2 Innate Defense as a half-vampire, which is why they are not afraid of mosquito bites.

There are different ways of expressing innate defense, the turtle is covered with a hard carapace like the most intuitive natural defense, but there are also less intuitive, such as Veronica's skin looks white and smooth, and the texture is like a fine satin, delicate and tough.

"It turns out that thick skin also has unexpected benefits." Lyudmila teased with a hint of jealousy, and then pulled out a magic scroll from the side pocket of her backpack, "I also have a 'repellent pest' here, why don't you use it?" ”

"Don't waste expensive scrolls on mosquitoes, just smear some toilet water and hold on, and we'll be able to walk through this jungle tomorrow." Roland discouraged.

"That's what you said yesterday......" The female ranger complained faintly.

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but retort: "As a holy warrior, my duty is to boost the morale of everyone, but my dear Ranger Miss, please look me in the eye and answer me, who is responsible for the pathfinding work?" ”

Lyudmila's fair cheeks quickly flushed with shame, and she defended hesitantly: "This ghost place is full of thorns, not to mention the road for people to walk, even wild beasts are rarely seen, most of them are lurking powerful monsters, let's go slower, and it won't be ......wrong to be more careful."

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the front.

"It's Ronnie!" The female ranger's face changed slightly, and she immediately threw off her long legs and rushed in the direction where the exclamation came, leaving a sentence far away, "I said you should be more careful!" ”

"It's not worrying to race one by one......" Roland sighed and quickened his pace to catch up.

Veronica was attacked by a lush bush with clusters of small berries resembling wild grapes on its turquoise foliage, making it look like an ordinary plant that could be found everywhere in the jungle.

However, at this moment, this "killer vine" turned into the most ferocious predator, wielding a long whip-like rattan to frantically whip Veronica.

"Hey, I just want to pick a bunch of fruit from you and taste it, please don't be so grumpy, okay?" The female ninja hurriedly dodged the rattan whipping, and her mouth was not idle. However, her defense was meaningless, and instead provoked the anger of the killer vine, and another thorn-covered rattan swept over.

Veronica's face changed, and she hurriedly leaned back, and the rattan whistling against the tip of her nose was very thrilling. She didn't dare to stop for a moment, and rolled backwards with her backhand, trying to escape the hunting area of the killer vine.

Swish! Sensing that his prey was about to escape, the two vines swung together, bursting into a cloud of green light that spread out in all directions with lightning speed.

Under the influence of this mysterious force, all the shrubs and weeds within 30 feet around her came to life, stretching branches and leaves around Veronica, making it difficult for her to move, and she could only watch the killer vine approach, and her pretty face suddenly lost its bloody color.
