Chapter 148: Three Calamities

Hearing what Jack said, Qi Lin was also interested, but in view of Jack's ability to express himself urgently, he simply signaled Alan directly to tell him what the so-called three plagues were.

Although Alan is not a native of the Black Forest, he has been in Willis City for so long, and he has also heard about things in the Black Forest.

"The truly powerful beasts in the forest basically survive the long winter by hibernating, but in some areas, there will always be accidents that cause hibernating beasts to wake up early, and these awakened beasts will not find enough food in the bitter cold, so they will set their sights on humans. ”

"If it's just a small number of beasts, it won't do any harm, but it will be an extra meal for people, but once a large number of beasts suddenly awaken, then there will be a beast disaster. ”

"Hundreds of beasts gathered together are enough to break down a village's defenses, and if you can't dodge them, even the strongest people will be torn to pieces by the beasts. ”

Jack, who was next to him, nodded and said, "Well, when the beast plague hit our village, the village chief was not there, so everyone could only hide in the cellar, and some cellars were dug deep enough, so they were dug out and eaten by those beasts." ”

"And what are the frost plagues and the demon plagues?"

"Frost disasters are basically natural disasters, and in winter the temperature in the Black Forest is much lower than in the city, and in the depths of winter, there are frozen areas all over the forest. ”

"These frozen areas are usually random, and within their range, the temperature will drop again and again, and when the village is enveloped in it, the instant cold is enough to freeze all the people who are not in place to keep warm into ice cubes. ”

"And compared to the beast disasters that can be followed, the appearance of these frozen areas is completely random, and no one knows when they will encounter it, and naturally there is no way to resist it, so once they encounter the frozen area, basically life and death are luck. ”

Qi Lin nodded when he heard this, obviously these so-called frozen areas should be ultra-low temperature areas, perhaps because of the climate, ultra-low temperature areas will be randomly formed in the Black Forest, for ordinary people, this kind of instant cooling may indeed be fatal.

Seeing Qi Lin nodding, Alan continued to explain.

"Demonic Plague, also known as the Plague of Evil Beasts, you also know that there are evil beasts in the depths of the Black Forest, and under normal circumstances, they do not easily come to the edge of the Black Forest, but there are always some special circumstances that occur, and some evil beasts cross the boundary to the human gathering place. ”

"These beasts are inherently hostile to humans, and unlike predators who seek food, they slaughter almost exclusively for the sake of slaughter. ”

"You also know that the evil beast is powerful, and for an ordinary village, as long as one evil beast suddenly appears in it, it will bring a devastating blow. ”

"One of the important duties of the Earl's Green Pothos Knights is to exterminate the evil beasts that infest the villages, but these villages are scattered in the vast Black Forest, and the roads are not smooth in winter, so the efficiency of this kind of extermination after the event is not very high. ”

When he said this, Allen's expression was also very low, as a member of the security team, he had also participated in the pursuit of demons with the Pothos Knights, and naturally he had also seen the tragic situation of the villages attacked by demons.

The young child's bones were shattered and embedded in the walls, and the young girl was gnawed away half of her face, and there was not a single living in the entire village of more than 500 people.

Until this moment when he thought about it, he still had palpitations, which was why he did not hesitate when Qi Lin invited him.

Although he didn't dare to say that he didn't have any selfish intentions, Alan definitely hoped in his heart that he could completely destroy the evil demons and the evil beasts they made, so that the tragedy he had seen would not be repeated.

Seeing Allen's depressed expression, Qi Lin also thought of the terrifying mouthparts of the digging insects and the powerful acid that emanated from their bodies all the time.

If ordinary people encounter the digging worm, what kind of miserable fate will be, Qi Lin doesn't know, but it's not difficult to imagine.

The two adults were depressed, but they did not delay the children's mood, and Jack, who was most familiar with the road, suddenly pointed to the northeast and shouted: "It's almost there, walk in a few minutes and turn this bush and we'll see the village." ”

Hearing Jack's words, Qi Lin and the two glanced at each other and adjusted their emotions, after all, the warm village was in front of them, and they could finally rest.

Jack's village is located on the edge of the entire Black Forest, and is more connected to the outside world than the real inner Black Forest.

Merchants who sell goods and buy furs and various specialties come to the village in summer and autumn.

However, during the snowy winter, the whole village seems to become a real island, and no one will visit the village except for the wind and snow and wild beasts.

So when the four of them wore thick down jackets and carried a body of snow and ice through the bushes to the edge of the village.

Directly regarded by the villagers who were responsible for guarding the sights of wild beasts and preventing the outbreak of beast plagues, they were regarded as blind bears who accidentally woke up in hibernation, and this fierce Black Forest frontier citizen also decisively fired four arrows directly at them with the skill of a series of arrows.

Fortunately, in order to better walk in the ice and snow, Qi Lin has been in Kunxing mode, so he directly reached out to catch the four arrows that were quite accurate.

For such a way of welcome, Qi Lin just shrugged his shoulders and handed the arrow to Jack to negotiate.

"I found that the archery skills of your security team and those elite subordinates of the intestines are not as good as that of an ordinary villager!"

Playing with the arrows in his hand, Qi Lin turned his head and laughed at Allen.

Alan smiled slightly awkwardly and explained, "People who can stay in the Black Forest will always have some stunts. ”

Qi Lin nodded clearly, Alan had said that his village had suffered two beast plagues, but until now the village still exists, and at this moment, seeing the arrows of any villager, he can understand the reason.

"Qi Lin boy, I didn't expect it to be you, don't you know that you need to shout and say hello when you enter the village?"

At this time, the villager who had already recognized Jack and the others also jumped down from the hidden tree with a frightened expression.

Qi Lin and Bilodo had delivered food to this village, and although they didn't have much contact, they were basically familiar with the villagers.

Especially after Jack took his mother to live in the city, Qi Lin's reputation was also known in the village.

"It turned out to be Uncle Bier, we were so happy that we almost forgot that the village chief was not there, and we estimated that we would have to stay in the village tonight. ”
