"Shhhh Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Hidden behind a tree, Pannis poked his head out cautiously to observe the small forest grassland in front of him, and the forest plain of more than 400 square kilometers is inhabited by many wild beasts and demonic beasts. No matter how dangerous the Forest of Death is, it is impossible for all creatures to be monsters, on the contrary, the vast majority of creatures are ordinary beasts, and almost all of them are herbivores with extremely strong reproductive ability, and these creatures constitute the bottom of the vast food chain of the entire forest. The same is true in the forest grassland, a large number of beasts wander leisurely on the grassland, the environment with abundant water elements makes the grass and trees grow very luxuriantly, providing herbivores with enough rich food, so that they can reproduce in large quantities without restrictions, and because there is only one predator in the whole area, the size and food of the arrow rat are extremely small compared to other beasts, so this territory has become a paradise for herbivores, even if more than a dozen birds die every day to become the food of arrow rats, but compared to the base number of herbivores, it can be regarded as very small。

"When you walk, pay attention to your feet, the entrance to the nest of the arrow rat can be much larger than that of the average mouse. Pannis advised: "Don't step into it, it's a trivial matter to step in, the main thing is that stepping in will definitely alarm the arrow rats inside, and it will be lively when the time comes." ”

"You have to walk lightly here, don't go too fast, just keep walking briskly, don't run. Vral also joined in the explanation: "It is said that there are many large herbivores in the meadows, and the shaking of the ground will not easily disturb the dart rats, but this is not absolute, if the shaking is too big and really attracts the dart rats out, it will put us in a very troublesome situation." So simply avoid the appearance of trouble directly from the root, that is, take your steps lightly and try not to jump. “

"And, Catherine, keep an eye on that thing that's scratching your hair. Pannis pointed to the little fox and said, "I don't know if it has a habit of burrowing, but I don't want it to fail halfway through the game because of it." ”

"Little one, go back, and don't come out until you are called. Catherine patted the phantom fox on the head, and the little fox screamed a few times as if he understood, and then turned and slipped into a pocket specially sewn for Catherine outside her backpack, and wagged her tail at Pannis defiantly as she entered.

"Sooner or later turn you into a scarf. Pannis waved his fist at the little fox as a threat, and found that the girls were glaring at him neatly, so he had to laugh dryly, scratch his head, as if he had done nothing just now, and said with a dry cough: "Don't be too nervous, the brains of the arrow rats are not so smart, they are not so smart that they can tell the difference between ordinary herbivores and invaders, as long as you don't have anything to do to attack those herbivores, the blood and cries of those creatures will make the arrow rats mistakenly think that other predators have invaded the territory." By the way, Koneda, that tree ......"

"I know, damn Kyle. The dwarven shield defender muttered loudly in dissatisfaction: "I won't casually destroy the things around me to vent my dissatisfaction anymore, you have been talking to me three times for such a short road, I haven't noticed it, I haven't seen you for a hundred years and you are becoming more and more verbose, really, why didn't I find out that you have this tendency before." “

"Let's go. Pannis waved his hand and finally instructed: "Keep your mouth shut, try not to ask any questions, and keep an eye on your surroundings at all times, ...... Floral"

"I know. "Her Majesty has taken off her hunting bow and held it in her hand, and the feathered arrows have been put on the bowstring, and it is clear that if any of the hapless arrows and rats find the trail of the team, Her Majesty will use the feathered arrows at the first time to prevent it from delivering the message to its companions, provided that it is not hiding in the cave, of course.

With a wave of Pannis, the team resumed their movement after a five-minute wait-and-see session, and everyone stepped lightly over the last tree and onto the meadow.

As soon as they entered the grassland, the girls felt that the environment had changed significantly. In the dense forest, the environment is dark and damp, and because of the canopy, the hot water vapor cannot be dispersed, and it is always stuffy in the space under the canopy, so it is not only humid and stuffy, but also the air is cloudy, and the nose is constantly filled with the smell of rotting plants. After staying in such an environment for a long time, the clothes on the body are damp every day, constantly emitting the smell of mold, coupled with the noisy bird chirping and the strange noises that appear in the forest from time to time, so that the girls are always extremely irritable in their hearts.

But the grassland in the forest is completely different, because there is almost no tree growth on the whole grassland, the sun can shine on the grassland without shading, and the water can also be steamed to the sky without hindrance, so although it is also hot here, it looks very dry, the damp and sticky clothes are exposed to the sun, and immediately return to the dry of the past, looking up at the bright sunshine, even the clouds of irritability in the heart seem to be dispelled by the sun, and the mood has become better.

The grass on the ground is abundant, and unlike the orc grassland, the grass here is not high, and the highest is no more than half a calf, and it is easy to see the surface of the ground when you lower your head. Due to its location in the hot and rainy Death Forest, the weeds here remain alive all year round and never wither due to climate changes. Exposed to the sun, the smell of grass permeated the forest and grassland, and the fresh and fragrant air made the girls can't help but breathe hard and enjoy this rare comfort.

There are many animals in the grasslands, and they vary in size, from wildebeests that are more than two meters tall to bantam pigs that are only 60 centimeters tall, from six-legged beasts that are only about one meter tall but nearly three meters long, to nursery deer that stand on their hind legs like humans and rely mainly on jumping instead of walking.

As you walk, you can occasionally come across piles of bones, covered with gnawing marks, some of which are left of bones, and some of which still have remnants of flesh and blood, apparently a few days after they were hunted. Even so, these white bones did not affect the lives of herbivores, right next to the white bones, you can often see the animals are grazing leisurely, as if they didn't find the existence of white bones at all, they didn't even bother to raise their eyelids, but for the sudden appearance of the expedition, along the way harvested countless curious eyes, these herbivores who have never seen intelligent creatures in their lives are not afraid of people at all, and even a few young beasts come over and sniff around the girls.

Although there were leftover corpses, there were surprisingly no flies or other insects, and there should have been a large number of insects flying on the corpses, but there were none here. This situation will occur, it is estimated that due to the insect storm the night before yesterday, all the insects in the nearby area have already followed Guo Jing's insect swarm out of their nests, and they will easily not encounter other insects in a short time. Therefore, after Pannis's consent, the girls simply threw the thick black robe and masked cloth in their backpacks and walked forward with ease.

Not only are there no insects near the bones, not even the most common scavenging vulture in the wilderness, these birds can be regarded as almost one with the corpse, and where there are corpses, they must be present, but it is only a difference between hovering in the sky and feeding on the ground. But there are no vultures here, not one, but think about it carefully, those scavenging birds mainly live in an environment with a wide field of vision and no obstacles, although this forest plain meets this condition, but the plain is surrounded by the forest in the center, and the forest is also inhabited by countless flying monsters, and the scavenging birds can't reach here at all, let alone compete for corpses.

Ignoring the corpses, they continued on, and after not going far, the murmuring of running water could be heard, and some distance further, a small stream appeared in front of the group. The creek is crystal clear and the sound of the water is crisp, and you can smell the water before you get close, and when you get closer, you just need to look at it to make you feel the urge to jump into the stream and wash away the sweat and salt stains on your skin.

However, no one in the team rushed forward, and for experienced adventurers, the situation in front of them was fraught with danger. The first is that there are no fish in the stream, no matter how big or small, and the stream, although it flows, is so dead that not even algae grow. In addition, the more obvious problem is that other herbivores, in a grassland, such a stable and safe source of water should be the center of all animal activity. However, the surrounding herbivores did not mean to gather, and they all avoided the range of the stream, and only a few were still lingering near the stream, looking like they wanted to drink water but did not dare to drink it.

Judging from the experience of the girls, there is definitely something wrong with this creek, and what needs to be considered is just what the problem is. Although the girls had doubts about this, no one asked them when they thought of Pannis's previous request.

As if feeling the doubts of the girls, although Pannis did not give the answer, when he walked to the stream, he bent down, scooped up a glass of stream water, and filtered the stream water on the creek by the way, after filtering, it can be clearly seen that there is a puddle of gelatinous liquid left at the bottom of the cup, the gelatinous body is translucent, and it cannot be found when it is mixed in the water, and only by emptying all the water can you see their bodies.

However, with the rule of minimizing conversation, no one dwelled too much on the gelatin, even Pannis, who just threw the cup back into the message with the gelatin, allowing the gel to reintegrate into the water, and never saw the form again.

Pannis shrugged, took out the inflatable pontoon that had been prepared long ago from his backpack, blew it full of gas and put it on the water, obviously the creek is very shallow, and he can cross it by wading through the water, but Pannis chose a very troublesome pontoon, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem in the stream.

"Yikes. A muffled cry rang out from the middle of the line, and the exclamation was not like something unexpected, but rather the result of too much surprise. (To be continued.) )
