Chapter 21: The Dragonfly's Nest

"Wrong way? You're on the wrong track! Winnie jumped up and down like a cat with its tail stepped on. However, looking at her expression, it is obvious that she is more happy than angry.

"What kind of big trouble is it?" Rick wisely reached out and pressed the female mage, not being distracted by the careful thinking of his female companion at this time.

"Just now, I was distracted and brought you to a fork in the road." Masasia generously admitted his mistake and said with a frown, "As for the trouble, look at the huge banyan tree in front of you......"

Qin Lun and the others looked fixedly, the place that Masasia was pointing at was about a hundred meters away from them, because of the thick fog, they could only see a vague black shadow, which did look like a swamp banyan tree with a somewhat bloated trunk.

"Aren't all the swamp banyan trees like this, just a little fatter?" The thief shrugged his shoulders and asked curiously.

"Air-root swamp banyan trees don't grow into spindle-shaped trunks." Mastasha sighed and said cautiously, "I reckon there's a dragonfly nest on that tree......"

"Dragonflies?" The crowd looked back at the Mastasha in amazement, they had heard of this famous swamp creature, but they had never seen it with their own eyes, and they did not know much about their habits and dangerous nature.

"The dragon fly is a social insect monster!" The Highland Elf shook her head and smiled bitterly, she knew that they lacked understanding of dragonflies as soon as she saw the expressions on the faces of the curious babies, otherwise they wouldn't be so relaxed now.

"The creature level of dragon flies is from the second to the third order, and the elite of a few arch guard mother insects may reach the fourth order. They don't have a hard carapace like many insect monsters, but they are agile and aggressive. Mastasha lowered his voice, and the team had not really faced the enemy situation, so he hurried to make up for everyone.

"Most of them only have low-level magical beasts, even if they are social creatures, they don't have much impact on our team, right?" Rick raised an eyebrow and said confidently. The whole team is the least afraid of insects, not to mention the low-level insects on his body, even if the first seven or eighth-order digging insects have to gnaw for a long time.

"You better be in awe of what you don't know about yourself." There was a hint of anger on Mastasia's face, as a master harpist, she hated this overconfidence most of all, and on countless occasions her fellow harpers had died of their own neglect of their enemies.

"I'm sorry!" Rick was stunned and quickly leaned over to apologize.

"When I say aggressive, I don't mean the dragonfly's physical attack, but its innate magic." Mastassia glanced ahead and said worriedly, "The dragon fly attacks with a poisonous needle on its tail, which is not very lethal, but it has a paralyzing effect. A low-level warrior will fall unconscious if he is stung by a bite, and a mid- and high-level powerhouse will not be able to carry it much.

But the most terrifying thing is still its innate magic, the dragonfly has two kinds of domain magic, one is dispel and the other is weak. Dispel areas affect the effects of your buff spells and attack spells. The weak realm will accumulate negative effects on our side, continue to weaken our physical abilities, and if the battle time is too long, the high-level strong will be weakened to the low-level, and ordinary people will even walk and pant for breath. ”

"So powerful?" Everyone was slightly surprised, but everyone was still a little unimpressed, since the enemy's attack ability was strong, then at most, they would not be able to attack. No matter how agile the low-level bugs are, as long as this team remains vigilant, most people have the confidence to dodge the attack.

"Master Mastasia, you just said that these two spells are domain abilities?" Hill suddenly frowned and asked, the other spellcaster in the team, the female mage Winnie, also rarely did not contradict the highland elves this time, and frowned silently.

"Domain competence? Is it the meaning of the Realm of Legends? Qin Lun touched his nose, and the others quickly reacted, "How is it possible, low-level insects are just low-level insects, even if they have a certain casting range, they can't match the legendary realm." ”

Mastasia smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's why I said that you should be in awe of what you don't understand, most dragon flies are indeed low-level creatures, but they can become one of the territory overlords in a harsh swamp environment, how can they be easy to deal with."

A single dragonfly has no domain ability, but when there are many of them, they will have a chain effect with each other, and the natural ability will become a real large-area domain magic. It's not a legendary realm, but there is no limit to the horror process, and it is entirely determined by their number. ”

"This ......" Everyone was a little speechless, and Sifer's face showed timidity. He can't be blamed for this, if others provoke dragon flies, there is still a chance to escape. If he can't take him with him in the end, then he will definitely have to wait for death.

"Can you turn back?" Rand calmly gave the two companions a look, Qin Lun frowned, and nodded slightly.

Their stay was short, and it had taken nearly a week to get there, but they were already in the heart of the Land of the Dead. As long as you can avoid deadly danger, it doesn't matter if you spend half a day on a detour.

"Of course, you can take a detour, as long as I walk the distance once, I will basically never forget it." Mastasha said with a smile, "However, I don't build a team to detour now. Although it was my mistake to take the wrong path this time, I had similar troubles along the way to the target last time, and one of them was a Blood Poppy, which was more dangerous than the Dragonfly Nest.

I just estimated the territory of the Dragonfly Nest, and even if this nest is only medium-sized, after bypassing it, I have generally avoided the two dangers of the original route, including the territory of the Blood Poppy. However, it is up to you to decide how to go. ”

For a moment, everyone did not speak, and they were paradoxically caught in a dilemma.

"Since we can't get around, let's keep walking!" A weak word came from the crowd, and everyone looked at it in surprise, but it was now Sifer Hulan, who gritted his teeth with a bitter face and persisted.

"Hehe, since the employers have said so, then what else is there to discuss." Rick grinned brightly and walked ahead with his broadsword in his hand, while the rest of the group looked at each other and smiled, 6 followed.

As ordinary people, Sifo is not afraid, they have nothing to fear.

However, as they approached the location of the dragonfly nest, everyone still held their breath and tried to slow down as much as possible, so as not to alarm the fierce and irritable dragonfly swarm.

The surrounding swamp terrain is somewhat complicated, with the giant banyan tree where the dragonfly's nest is located sandwiched between two small lakes, with only a dirt road that curls and is no more than five meters wide.

To get around it, get within fifty meters of the dragonfly's nest, and then the dirt path will start to bypass the big banyan tree and stretch into the distance.

At Hill's request, Qin Lun's left eye quietly appeared with a yin-yang fish pattern, and his eyes flickered to feed back the observation information to the team channel, so that the two killer companions could get a glimpse of the true face of the dragon fly.

"How do you look like a large dragonfly?" Looking at the timely appearance of the video on the team channel, both Rand and Hill were a little surprised.

According to the proportions, the dragon flies are worthy of the name of Warcraft, each one is almost more than half a meter long, and some of them are even up to a meter long with long whiskers. Their compound eyes are high~convex, their bodies are slender, and they have two pairs of crystal clear wings on their backs, which are indeed very similar to dragonflies.

However, aside from their eyes, their protruding triangular heads are less gentle than dragonflies and more like a cobra.

In addition, the tip of their tail is also peculiar, like a sharp claw that splits into four blades, and like a flower-like mouthpart, and a tail pin with a faint blue light can be clearly seen in the center.

"It's going to hurt if you get stung by this thing!" Rand quipped with a wry smile.

After getting close to fifty meters, the dragonfly nest was clearly recognizable. The whole dragonfly nest is like a huge spindle attached to the trunk of the banyan tree, and the surface is full of dense holes, which makes people feel sorry for it at first sight.

At this time, there were more than a dozen dragon flies busy outside the nest, flying around. For Qin Lun and these strangers to patronize the territory, they just looked at it with compound eyes like light bulbs, spit out their forked tongues, and stopped paying attention.

The dragon fly is an omnivorous monster whose main recipe is rotting corpses and small insects, as well as nectar and other plant juices. They have no real teeth and can't bite fresh meat, so they have no interest in large animals, including humans.

Of course, this is when the big animals don't bother them. If someone alarms them within the territory area, they will be considered an intruder by the Dragonfly.

At this time, whether they can eat it or not, these animals will be attacked by dragonfly swarms until they withdraw from their territory.

"This is a large dragon fly nest, so be careful and try not to make unnecessary noise. In this way, the dragonflies will treat us as passers-by and will not take the initiative to attack. Mastasya lowered her voice and gently reminded everyone.

The crowd lined up and subconsciously walked close to the left side of the dirt road. At this time, even Qin Lun no longer stared at the dragon fly nest with burning eyes, so as not to alarm these acutely sensitive insect demonic beasts.

The two casters on the team, Ciel and Winnie, both dissipated their amplified mana to avoid causing the magic fluctuations to cause concern. Everyone hopes that the last few hundred meters will be safe and sound. As long as you get out of the dragonfly's line of sight, even if you are still in their territory, the most dangerous moment is almost over.

"Huh!" It's a pity that sometimes the more afraid of accidents, things will always come to the door inadvertently.

Winnie stumbled! She walked as carefully as she could on the left side of the dirt road. But I don't know if she was too nervous, she actually slipped under her feet, and half of her body slid towards the swampy lake on the left.

The female mage's face turned pale, and her eyes widened instantly, fortunately she was an experienced adventurer after all, even in this situation, she did not shout, bit her lip tightly, and at the moment when she was about to fall into the water, she cast her eyes for help to her companion not far behind her.
