Chapter 13: The Treetop Plains

So, for the first time, the girls saw the unique way the lizardman hunters camp in the swamp. Under the curious eyes of the girls, the lizardman lady found a random Suogu tree on the lakeside, and her sharp claws popped out from the fingers of her hands and feet, and she climbed up flexibly with her claws, and disappeared into the dense canopy of Suogu wood dozens of meters high in an instant.

"Is it at the top of the tree?" said Catherine, surprised, "isn't the treehouse a way of camping for elves?

"The elves' treehouses are in the middle of the trees, and they use the trunks and thicker branches of the trees as support points to build the treehouses. Pannis explained, "But the lizardmen are different, the lizardmen's method is to build the camp on the top of the tree, which is fundamentally different from the elven treehouse, and we will go up together and you will see the situation at the top of the tree." ”

The girls quickly got an answer to the question of how the camp could be built in a vain place like a treetop. When everyone struggled through the canopy of trees that were entwined with each other into countless layers of nets, and climbed to the top to see the sunset again, they finally understood Pannis's explanation. When they reached the top of the canopy, the girls saw not the spires of the trees, but a flat web of green trees. The overall shape of the marsh's peculiar trees is actually very peculiar, their canopy coverage is actively broad, but the top is not like the pinnacle of pine and poplar oaks, but the flat top of the flattened top, when a large number of rope trees are entangled with each other, these flat steps are entangled to form a treetop plain with a large number of voids. Since the treetop plain is only formed by the entanglement of tree trunks and vines, it is full of hollows, and it is not suitable for creatures to walk on it, so there are not many beasts and demonic beasts on the treetops, only some small herbivorous demonic beasts that rely on leaves and fruits for food haunt the treetops. However, unlike these inferior beasts, intelligent beings can rely on their own hands to modify the environment and make the treetops suitable for temporary habitation.

Clearly, Galantis was doing this with great interest. Maybe it's because I just returned to my hometown after two years away from home. Lady Gallantis, the lizardman, was a little too excited, full of enthusiasm for these once familiar tedious tasks, and felt so nostalgic for every step. When the girls climbed to the top of the tree, they saw that Galantis had cut off more than twenty vines. Skillfully jumping from branch to branch with the vine in hand, passing each vine through the topmost branches repeatedly, allowing the vines to combine with the branches to form a finer network.

"You're coming up too, hiss. Come and help. Hearing the sound of climbing, Galantis glanced up, and the triangular lizard head was filled with an expression that seemed to be smiling, and beckoned to everyone: "I can't make the range needed for seven people to camp alone, and it will be too late to make it, hiss, but it will be much faster for everyone to do it together." ”

"What should we do?" The girls who were familiar with survival in the wild felt unable to do anything at this time, this unique way of camping had never been seen before, and even if they wanted to help, they couldn't find a way. Catherine felt like she was out of shape. With a wry smile, he asked, "I hope I can do my part, but I still need you to tell me what I can do." ”

"It's easy, help me find a longer branch and cut it down and transport it over, hiss, that's it. Galantis pointed to a gray-white branch not far away and explained, but finally shook his head and said, "Hey, it's too troublesome, let my uncle tell you what kind of thing you should choose, hiss, it was my mother who taught him." He knows it well. ”

"Well, come with me, don't be around, go a little farther and look for it. Keep an eye on your steps when walking. Pannis tiptoed. Swinging around on the bouncy webs of trees, the entire nearby webs swayed, until they attracted the angry eyes of the girls and even Galantis, and they could be regarded as restraining their troublesome movements.

"Eva, let's go with Pannis. Catherine ordered, "You three stay where you are, and see if there are any auxiliary work you can do for Galantis." We will be back soon. ”

"I'll go too. Vivien unloaded the giant backpack behind her back, moved her sore shoulders and said, "I can help set up camp now, haha, I don't need to lie on the side anymore." ”

"That's not going to work either. Catherine turned around and knocked a few times on the puffed soft hat on Vivian's head as a punishment: "You guy, even if you get better, you will give me a little bit of a spell-casting profession, have you ever seen a spell-casting profession that jumps around on the top of a tree to find branches?" Give me to stay here honestly to help, don't run around, be careful that I accidentally fall from a tree as soon as my body recovers, forty or fifty meters high, when the time comes, I fall down and break my bones, and I have to lie back in bed again, and I have to rehabilitate again after healing, anyway, it is not me who will cry at that time. ”

"It doesn't matter, if you break a bone, Lina will have to do it, so you don't have to rehabilitate. Although she knew that she didn't have a chance to follow, the mage girl was still making a final struggle: "And I'm very flexible, it's okay to jump around, oops." ”

"Are you an idiot?" Lina took the collar of Vivien's robe, held the mage girl who almost slipped steadily, habitually pinched her face and said, "I won't treat the person who is looking for death by herself, you fool, leave me well." ”

After regaining her health, some overactive girls had to respond aggrievedly, but in the blink of an eye, they couldn't stop running to Galantis's side and helped her weave the tree net more tightly. Catherine shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply, but the smile on her face couldn't hide the happiness in her heart, compared to the fragile girl who was like a puppet, didn't dare to do any heavy work, and was worried that her body would collapse at any time, or the mage in front of her who was full of vigorous vitality and seemed to be running around to make up for more than ten years of activity, Catherine was even more happy. Of course, although such a mage girl can sometimes give her a headache, it is all worth it.

"Sure enough, it was all worth it. As if he knew Catherine's thoughts well, Pannis whispered behind her back, "Isn't that what you want to see?"

"Well, it's all worth it. Catherine smiled softly at Pannis, squeezed Pannis's arm hard, and whispered, "Thank you, it's all thanks to your help." ”

"What nonsense. Pannis turned his head awkwardly, looked in other directions and said, "Hurry up, hurry, I'll teach you how to choose branches." (To be continued.) )
