Chapter 120: The Giant Bamboo Sea

PS: The real shelf, the eighth update!

The Lannister's caravan was drawn by a large white ox with a body length of nearly three meters, a low-level magical beast that was herbivorous and docile, and was a little slower, but it was superior in strength and stamina, and could go days without food after a single meal.

The big white ox dragged the carriage, which was full of packaged goods, Soros's specialty spices, satin cloth, sugar and salt could be sold for more than three times the price in MiG, and the return trip was to carry some MiG City's specialties such as orange wine, special leather armor, handicrafts, etc., and the profit was even more than five times.

The convoy was surrounded by a team of guards with knives and guns and neat armor, with a cold expression, tightly hugging the caravan forward, and in front of the convoy were seven men and women dressed as mercenaries, this is the small mercenary team that took over this mission - the Bloody Rose Mercenary Group, led by a team of husband and wife, the men are strong, the women are wild, and they are all senior first-order professionals.

A few people were talking and laughing, obviously very relaxed, as a reputable mercenary team in Domis City, they have not cooperated with the Lannister family once or twice, and this route has also been run many times, so naturally they are familiar with it, and there is not much pressure.

After a tense inspection, the team leader Obi gave an order, the convoy moved slowly, and Mu En also started the second journey.

After walking out of the city from the east gate of Domis, they entered the wilderness for a long time, and everyone was vigilant here, but it seemed that it was the favor of the god of fate, and they did not even encounter a single magical beast.

After entering the wilderness, the caravan's route became a little strange, either going straight, or bending, sometimes even walking in a circle to the back, although the distance was stretched a lot, but there were not many dangers, and the mid-level demonic beasts that happened to encounter the powerful point were all cleaned up by the mercenary team.

It wasn't until the fourth day, upon reaching a sea of forests, that the caravan stopped.

This is a sea of bamboo-like trees, each of which is as thick as several people hugging each other, nearly ten meters high, and the most peculiar thing is that the distance between the trees is about three meters, surprisingly consistent, like a disciplined army.

It seems to be the relationship of the seasons, the leaves of the forest sea are the color of withered yellow, falling, windless, soft, silent, very quiet. But it was precisely because it was so quiet that Mu En had a terrifying feeling.

At this moment, Obi personally ran over and invited Nuke over, and Muen and William naturally followed.

Along the way, the convoy was arranging for someone to take out a white powder and release it into a strange device, this powder is like the flour on the earth, and it splashes a pinch of smoke and dust when you pat it lightly, and it emits a unique pungent smell, like a mixture of paprika and fishy, which is indescribably weird.

"From Dominis to MiG City, this section is the most dangerous, the whole sea of giant bamboo trees seems to be quiet, but everywhere is a kind of thumb-sized flying insects, swarming, overwhelming. ”

"As long as we step into the forest, we will be besieged by a swarm, the strength of the flying insects is not strong, a single ordinary person can be pinched to death, but there are too many of them, and they like to pierce the skin with tail thorns and suck human blood. ”

"The family once paid a lot of money to ask some people to find a way, and finally found a medicinal powder that could easily poison flying insects. As he walked, Obi explained, "However, there is always a time to take care of one or the other, and if there is a need, when the time comes, ask the Earl's Excellency for help." ”

"It's nature!" Nuke agreed.

Even if it is only ninety o'clock in the morning, not long after breakfast, Obi still arranges for everyone to eat and drink, all kinds of dry food, animal meat and drinking water pipes, once you enter the giant bamboo sea, it will be evening time to come out again, there is no time to rest halfway, and naturally you can't take care of eating.

Because of the distance between the trees, the convoy can only be stretched out in a long line, with guards on both sides defending, and a professional is arranged to guard every other section, although in this case, the strength of the first-order professional is also limited, but it is better than nothing.

And Nuke is at the forefront, his task is mainly to protect a bearded guide next to him, the sea of insects does not distinguish the direction, and only this kind of guide can locate and guide the way according to the compass, if he has a good one, that group of people will be lost in it, just wait for the powder to be consumed, how can it be a death!

Originally, this task was done by the professional couple of the mercenary group, but one of the two is a giant hammer warrior and a blade dancer, and they don't have any effective range attack skills against flying insects, and every time it is more thrilling.

The last thing to do before entering the sea of trees was to put on a special garment, which was as thick, tough and wide as a garment made of cowhide, and that did not leak out of the body except for the two eyes and nostrils.

When everything stopped, Obi couldn't wait to direct the convoy forward, this forest sea seems to be boundless, but naturally it will not really be so vast, the Lannister family has tried, about five hourglasses can cross the forest sea, this is the best situation, but in fact, every time you travel will make some detours, the time will be longer.

And every night, there are nocturnal beasts that like to catch this flying insect the most, they are shaped like a bear, but only the size of a baby, chubby Dudu looks very cute, but the danger is far more than that of flying insects. Therefore, even if the caravan had enough medicinal powder, it must not spend the night in Linhai.

This makes time a bit tight.

After entering the forest sea, Mu En looked at this strange tree again and again, the emerald green color, the shape is very much like bamboo, there are bone joints, but it is many times thicker, however, he always feels a little unnatural, like a face, it is beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, it is always a little awkward!

yes, it seems a little different there, huh?

The eyes must be focused on one point of the trees, and the field of vision is infinitely enlarged, and what comes into Mu En's eyes begins to change, that is...... Fly!

It resembles the appearance of a dragonfly, but the tail is much shorter, and behind the tail is a tail spine almost as long as its body. They lay quietly on the surface of the tree, covered in emerald green color, as if blending into the tree, not at all inconspicuous.

As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw that all of them were flying insects, and a tree was full of thousands of them, countless trees, all of which were like this, just to see Mu En's scalp numb.

The initial part of the road was still very quiet, the thick leaves made the footsteps seem to be nothing, people involuntarily held their breath, and even the big white cow seemed to sense the danger and became very quiet.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a small flying insect seemed to have spotted the convoy, and it vibrated its wings vigorously, making a 'buzzing' sound, which was not loud, but the other flying insects that were close at hand were awakened.

In an instant, the giant bamboo tree seemed to rise up a burst of smoke, like a changing dark cloud, and in the swirling, the giant bamboo tree actually turned all yellow, and there were uneven tree spots on the surface.

No, or rather, the giant bamboo tree in winter is already withered and yellow, but after being densely covered by flying insects, it loses its original color.

And when the flying insects of this tree were awakened, the flying insects of the other countless trees naturally woke up, and in a very short time, countless streams of smoke rose, transformed, and then collided, converging, and the emerald green dark clouds formed less than a few meters above people's heads.

The sun is gone, it's dark!

It's a spectacular sight, and if you record it with a camera, you will be amazed by the world, but if this dark cloud, in the huge 'buzz' sound formed by the countless flapping wings, like when you pounce, you will only feel fear.

"Enemy attack!Spraying powder!" Obi's mournful voice couldn't reach far in the 'buzz', but everyone did as they were asked beforehand.

The original escort team of fifty people, plus the men of the convoy, had already carried a strange box on their backs, the left was a handle, and the right was an unkempt head, the handle was shaken, and the spray in the nozzle was that strange white powder, and the gray powder seemed to be a white cloud of smoke enveloping the entire convoy.

In an instant, white and emerald green clouds of smoke collided.

The smell of the powder was not good, but the effect was excellent, and after countless flying insects were submerged in the gray smoke, they shook their heads as if they were drunk, and in the middle of their breaths, they fell to death and fell like rain.

However, there are too many flying insects, I don't know the impact of hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of flying insects, and the death of each flying insect will also consume a lot of powder, and instinct drives the guards to shake the handle vigorously, and the powder is sprayed without money, and it is replenished into the clouds.

In the process, the guards were tightly hugging the convoy forward, although the pace was a little hurried, but there was no confusion, they knew that in this situation, if they left the convoy, death was only a matter of moments.

After all, the medicine box is so big, and there is always a time when the powder is sprayed, which is also the most dangerous moment, and the guards need to go to the convoy to replenish it, but the flying insects will not give you time, at this time, it depends on the performance of the professionals.

A unique potion was applied to the weapon, and after evaporating, it generated a huge amount of heat in the air, and the flames burned, and the pros wielded the flame weapon to maximize the area of the attack, allowing the flames to pass through more flying insects.

Although this flame is vigorous, it is not very hot, but the temperature seems to be unable to hurt even ordinary people, however, the flying insects seem to contain some kind of oil, and the flames will be ignited when they pass by, and they can also block the attacks of the flying insects for a short time.

In a short period of time, everything seems to be fine, but humans will always get tired, and fatigue means mistakes, and a young guy seems to have stumbled and fallen into trouble.

Then, the boundless flying insects drowned him...... (To be continued.) )
