"It's the best thing to do," said George, "to pass safely without causing much damage, so that if Kuruma's pursuers come by, they will be stopped by snakes and flies." ā
Duck smiled: "It's all gone to this kind of place, even the chasing soldiers of the Kuru Ox won't work, right?"
Riley said: "Don't take it lightly, brother, Kuruma is a local after all, and the terrain is more familiar than us, so he may go around in a circle to block us." ā
"He doesn't know what we're here for, how can he guess so accurately? By the way, Yupanki, how can that Kuruma's spell be so powerful?
Yu Panji said: "I don't know what level of your Dharma God is, anyway, the previous high priests here are quite powerful, and they can summon lightning and storms. ā
"Oh. ā
George asked, "Is it because you became a high priest, or is it because you are already strong before you become a high priest?"
"This ......," Yupanki thought for a moment, "Kuruma was in charge of clerical and religious affairs before he became a high priest, and his status was not low, but he had never been seen to use spells. ā
"What about the high priests?"
"Like...... Well, I didn't have a reputation for being able to play before I took office. ā
"Does your high priest have any treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation?"
"There is a sacrificial staff that has been passed down from generation to generation, and as for the rest...... Sorry, I'm just a soldier, and it might help to ask a temple priest. ā
"Thank you. ā
Seeing that George bowed his head and was silent, Duck asked, "What, do you think that cane is weird?"
"I've never heard of a piece of equipment that can turn a person into a god. There could be nothing so magical. It feels like that Kuruma is simply throwing a magic scroll, just throw it! The magic god can't stand such a toss!"
Isis said suddenly, "He only uses wind spells. ā
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and George said: "If you strengthen a series alone and reach the level of a law god in a certain department, such equipment can still be built with some effort, but what is the use? The whole is uneven, there are too many flaws, and you will be defeated as soon as you fight." ā
Duck smiled: "Kuruma, a guy of this status, still needs to fight with others, as long as he shows a little strength that can pretend to be a god and fool people, someone has to give him his life." ā
"Anyway, we're no match yet, so let's get the Thunder Slime out of here as soon as possible. Look, the woods ahead are coming to an end. ā
The roaring river made a big bend in front of it, and the flow slowed down significantly, and there were many large and sturdy animals drinking water on the gentle slopes on both sides of the riverbank.
Royce said: "It doesn't look abnormal, the current speed is not fast, maybe you can swim through." I'll take a look. ā
Duck hurriedly said, "Be careful, there must be something in the river." ā
"It's okay, so many big ones haven't been caught and eaten, and I guess the guys in the river can't look down on my little meat. ā
"Be careful that it changes its flavor and wants to eat crunchy. ā
Royce rolled his eyes and strode towards the riverbank. Jokes aside, he can't relax at all when it's time to be on guard, and the closer he gets to the river beach, the more careful he becomes.
There were many smooth pebbles of various sizes on the river beach, and one of them was a light gray, the size of a pot lid, which caught his eye. If you look closely, the pebble is actually trembling slightly, as if breathing.
A living pebble?Royce leaned forward cautiously, trying to get a closer look.
Suddenly, with a bang, the pebble jumped up and slapped it in his face!
Royce jerked his shoulders back, twisted his neck, and dodged the slap. The pebble dragged a trail of slime across his shoulder.
The strange stone didn't succeed in a blow, and it didn't stop, and it just hit the ground and bounced up again. This time, Royce had already prepared, and with a slight pick of the Wind Spirit Knife, the pebble was pulled in the air and changed direction, and it fell into the river with a thud.
Duck and they immediately rushed over: "How is it, does it matter?"
"It's okay, it didn't touch me. It wasn't a stone, it was a strange snail with shells like pebbles, tusks on its belly, and it could jump up and bite people. We can't separate it from the stones, so how can we get there?"
Duck laughed, "What's so hard about this?" George summoned two clay puppets out, lay down side by side and rolled all the way over, let's roast the snails at noon - I'm afraid there aren't many of them!"
Everyone laughed, and Isabella couldn't help but say, "Your brain is getting better and better." ā
Duck smiled: "There are so many of us, each of us has everyone's special skills, add together, and are you afraid of a few brutes? Everyone, cheer up!
The crowd followed Dark's method, and sure enough, they reached the shore smoothly. Riley threw the demon into the water, and after a while, the demon surfaced, and Riley put it away and said, "This river is quite deep, and there are a lot of big fish in it, I don't know if it will attack people." It is estimated that it is dangerous to swim over. ā
As soon as Riley finished speaking, more than a dozen dead trees floated on the surface of the river, each of which had a pair of small eyes, looking at everyone with bad intentions.
"Sure enough, there's a lot of stuff in the slow water," Duck muttered to himself, "and even the crocodiles have come out to have fun, how do you get there?"
George looked back at the dense forest from where he came, and then at the paths along the way, as if he was thinking about how to pull the wood over and make a wooden raft.
"It seems that you can only build a raft or a raft, and swimming is impossible anyway, so let's do it!" Duck asked, "George, how long will it take to use the shaping spell?"
"It doesn't take a day. The time of the shaping spell depends on the material, and wood is relatively easy to work with, no problem. The point is to pave a road to haul the wood over, which is laborious. ā
Duck was immediately entangled: "Are we just stopped by a river?"
Royce patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's useless to wait, you still have to spend the effort that should be spent." Do it. ā
"That's all there is to it, but everyone be careful. It's still the same as before, open the team chat at any time, and anyone must have at least two team members in sight. ā
Everyone agreed in unison, and Dark, Royce, Yupanki, and Isabella went into the forest to cut down trees, and George summoned a few clay golems to help, with Riley left behind to work on the wood and Isis to make a fire and cook.
Duck cut down a few large trees at first, but soon found that the trees were too large to drag and dragging them down, and the small trees were not strong, so he probably had to use them as toothpicks for crocodiles. Only then did he realize that tree selection was also a technical job, so he had to follow Yu Panji.
Yupanki walked around the woods, pointing to this and that one, and in a few moments a dozen trees were marked. Then Duck and the others came and cut down and dragged them away.
Just as they were in full swing, a woman's scream suddenly came from the forest!
