"Whoa, whoa", the phantom fox's cry interrupted Vrard's explanation, and he didn't know how this little fox learned it, obviously it was a fox, and the bark was similar to that of a dog, which gave the girls a lot of headaches along the way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info was attracted by the cry, everyone's eyes turned to the little fox, and found that it was holding a large centipede that was nearly one meter long and had the thickness of an adult's wrist. The dragged centipede was black and shiny, with a pair of fiery red jaws on both sides of its head, and although its body was dead, dozens of pairs of feet were still firmly attached to the torso, and it twitched a few times from time to time, as if the centipede was still alive.

"Hey, stupid fox, where did you get the centipede? Startled by the fox's actions, Lina clapped her hands at the little guy and said, "Throw that ghost thing away, you are absolutely not allowed to eat it, if you dare to eat it, you will not be allowed to lick me in the future." Also, come over here and I'll see if your feet hurt, so don't run around with so many bugs. ”

The little fox found that the girls didn't like their gifts very much, whimpered aggrievedly, jumped into Lina's arms lightly, squeezed on the girl's chest, and lay down comfortably, and the big tail hanging down wagged a few times from time to time.

"Sister, sister, we have it here. The two little undead didn't seem to be afraid of the corpses of the insects all over the ground, one dragged a spider corpse the size of a human head alone, the spider's black body was covered with red and green patterns, and the whole body was covered with fluff as hard as short spines, and the eight eyes no longer turned, but the eyes that could not be closed still seemed to stare at the girls in front of them. The little ones placed the spiders in front of the maidens, and their voices were full of joy: "You see, we have found more than the little foxes." ”

"Boom", the sound of the crystal energy gun echoed in the camp, fortunately Vivien had already opened the magic circle on the periphery of the camp, so that the sound could not be perceived by the outside world, otherwise the sudden sound in the silent night would not know how many demonic beasts would attract the attention of the beasts. Seeing the two little undead put such a big spider in front of her, Freya felt that something in her brain finally broke, and two consecutive shots smashed the spider's corpse to pieces, and shouted: "Don't let this thing get close to me within five meters of me, or I will beat you, remember for me, there is no next time!"

"Uh, Sister Freya has become so scary. Her Royal Highness behaved like she was mad, and the two little ones hugged each other and shivered, which made Freya feel a little guilty. However, if Freya could see them secretly poking each other and secretly high-five each other while they were shivering, I'm afraid all the guilt would be gone.

"Even such a big bug died. Catherine was too lazy to stop her teammates who were messing around, when she experienced the insect storm before, because she didn't know the specific situation, the unknown danger brought a lot of psychological pressure to the girls, and it was also necessary to properly adjust the pressure through noise, so the knight girl just sighed helplessly and kicked a huge centipede: "Your Majesty, you just said that the insect storm may be related to the change of the leyline energy, so, will the energy change on the surface have an impact on the insects and form a insect storm?"

"Do you suspect that the expansion of the forbidden area of the living soul has caused the appearance of the insect storm?" Vral was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, it's impossible, this is just a relatively rare biological phenomenon, and it has nothing to do with the power of the god of death." ”

"Can you be so sure?" Catherine was still a little skeptical, the experience of the past few years had made the girl unable to believe the coincidence, so she continued to ask: "After the scope of the Death's power expanded, a worm storm was quickly formed, so ......"

"Big sister. Lina interrupted Catherine's question, shook her head lightly and said, "No need to ask, there will be no contact." You don't know the characteristics of the gods, this entire forest is under the control of Lord Yggdrasil, and if there is a small area controlled by xenomorph divine power, it is indeed difficult for the forest goddess to clear it, because the smaller the range, the more condensed the divine power. However, if Danakus's power could continue to affect this area, it would be equivalent to controlling at least half of the Death Forest, which would not be possible unless the Lady of the Forest fell into extreme weakness or even a deep sleep. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry. Catherine's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth and bowed deeply to Vrard: "I'm sorry, I was rude, please forgive your majesty." ”

For a priest who serves a god, especially the high priest closest to the god, questioning the weakness and slumbering of the god she serves in person is almost no different from blasphemy head-on, and if it is still at the end of the Tertiary Age, just such a question is enough to start a small war. However, Vral knew that Catherine was not a clergyman after all, and it was understandable that she did not understand some taboos unique to clergy, even if the two sides were enemies, the gentle Queen would not blame her for this, but said with a soft smile: "It's nothing, the goddess's mind is as broad as a forest, and she won't mind because of an unintentional offense." Lina is right, unless the adults fall into a deep sleep, with the power of Danakus, they will not be able to compete with the adults for control of the forest, so you can rest assured. ”

"Well, Catherine, don't worry too much about the reason. "Insect storms are uncommon, but there have been many precedents, and there is a widespread outbreak in the Dead Forest almost every few decades," says Pannis. ”

"The last insect storm was supposed to be ...... Thirty-seven years ago. Vral recalled for a moment and affirmed, "That's right, it was thirty-seven years ago, when a demigod from the land of the sea and two Legendary Rank professionals disappeared in the Forest of Death, although it is impossible to confirm, but we have always suspected that they died from the insect storm......"

"Wait, a question popped into my mind. Pannis stretched out his hand suddenly, stopped everyone around from talking, stepped on the corpse of the insect swarm and wandered in place for a while, frowned and said: "Assuming that the conjecture that the insect storm is formed due to the change of the leyline energy is true, then our encounter with the insect storm means that the leyline energy has changed." ”

"Well, so to speak. Vral nodded, "Although we elves have not observed any tangible data. ”

"Okay, so if you continue to investigate deeply, why did the leyline energy suddenly change?" Pannis asked: "Judging from the scale of this insect storm, it can definitely be regarded as a super-large insect storm, and it is not induced by a slight change in the leyline energy. Of course, it is not impossible to blame the energy change on natural factors, but what if it is not naturally formed but artificial?"

"Someone is draining leyline energy on a large scale?" The camp fell silent for a moment, and everyone's faces were slightly heavy, pondering the significance of Pannis's guess. (To be continued.) )
