Chapter 173: Pannis's Prey

A small hand mirror, but the reflection of Antoin's full-body image, this is a kind of advanced technique between mages to communicate with each other, by two mages to cast a spell for the two mirrors, and then each carry a mirror, as long as the distance between the two sides is not more than 50 kilometers, you can communicate through the mirror within 22 hours, without the restriction of distance. However, because this way of transmitting information is easily disturbed by various energy fields, and the effective time is too short, it is difficult to use in important occasions, and it is often only used when moving separately at short distances.www.biquge.info

In the hand mirror, not only Antuin's emaciated figure is reflected, but also the environment behind him, and it can be seen from the hand mirror that Archmage Antuin is still in the abandoned camp and is not following everyone to act.

In fact, more than a day has passed since the night of the insect storm, and after the insect storm that night, the camp is full of all kinds of insects, most of which have died, but there are some more tenacious insects that are still dying, and in this case, the team cannot rest at all, because no one knows if these dying insects can still come back to life, in case some poisonous insects regain their vitality, they will pose a direct threat to all members of the team when they are inside the team's defense circle. So the camp must be cleared immediately, even if it doesn't sleep all night, unless the team abandons the camp immediately and continues on its journey, but even the stupidest adventurer wouldn't do anything like that in the dark in the Forest of Death.

However, if you want to clean up the camp, you have to face a big problem, in terms of the adventurer's physique, it has no effect on other places without resting for a night, but this is the Forest of Death, where any trance and loss of mind can lead to irreparable serious consequences, and if you don't have enough rest at night, it is difficult to adjust your mental state during the day to the best.

After a short discussion, the expedition finally decided to simply rest in the camp for one more day after clearing out the camp and recuperate before setting off. However, Pannis's previous speculation about the reason for the change of leyline energy has been piercing everyone's heart like a needle. The leyline energy is not very stable, and there are often small-scale changes, which usually do not cause much impact, and occasionally large-scale changes occur, which will directly affect the surface, such as earthquakes, landslides, lava eruptions and other natural phenomena, in fact, are caused by changes in the leyline energy.

The scale of the insect storms experienced by the expedition at night was unusually large, and there were only a few insect storms of this scale in thousands of years of historical records. If the insect storm is really induced by the change of the leyline energy, then the change in the energy of the leyline caused by the insect storm can never be small, and the coverage must be very wide, otherwise it will not affect so many insects, but such a large area of influence, theoretically speaking, should have caused the earth to change a long time ago, but the death forest is as calm as before, and there is no abnormality to be found.

No anomaly is the biggest anomaly, which will cause a wide range of changes in the leyline energy without causing a real impact, and Pannis can only think of one, that is, artificial, only by artificially extracting the leyline energy, will the balance of the leyline energy be deliberately maintained, so that they only form energy turbulence, and the intensity does not affect the ground. In the world of Yara, the goblins of the Silver Age did this, the tribes of the Bronze Age did this, and in the Black Iron Age, people still did this, and most of the mage's magic towers and floating cities actually used this technique to extract leyline energy to provide energy.

This suggests that it is likely that someone is extracting leyline energy from within the Death Forest, and in such large quantities that it will lead to a super-large insect storm, and who will do it, everyone on the expedition has a common answer.

Everyone knows that for the Yara world, the plans of the divine servants are very dangerous, and they must be stopped, and now through the insect storm, it is guessed that they are likely to be collecting huge amounts of energy, which means that their plan has reached a new step, as for how long it will be before the plan is finally completed, whether it will really continue until July as Fira said, no one is sure, everyone only knows that if they can destroy their plan one day in advance, the safety of the Yala world will be improved a little, so for the expedition, every day is very precious, and one more day of delay may lead to the failure of the expeditionใ€‚

Therefore, even if you decide to take a day off, everyone's hearts are still very conflicted, at least the girls are like this, there is always a vague sense of guilt coiled in the depths of their hearts, but there is nothing to be done.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Pannis disappeared from the camp with only one word that he wanted to go out for a walk, and this disappearance was a whole day. The girls couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts, although they knew that he would not really die anyway, but they were always worried that he would get into some trouble for themselves, and they felt very uneasy, but looking at the demigods around them, they found that they looked as a matter of course, as if he should disappear at this time, which made the girls puzzle at the same time, but also deliberately concealed their worries, the girls didn't want their enemies to find out about their worries about Pannis, which could easily be associated with distrust of Pannis's strength and behavior.

It wasn't until near evening that Pannis dragged a jumping bear back. The name of the jumping bear is bear, and its attack power is as fierce as that of a bear, but its size is much smaller than that of ordinary bears, generally only two or three hundred kilograms, and most of them pursue the enemy by jumping, so their hind limbs are very developed, and it is said that the meat is tough with a unique softness, and the taste is excellent. Seeing Pannisy disappear all day was to drag back a bear, and although the girls knew that his purpose would definitely not be just to find dinner, they couldn't help but feel like they couldn't help but laugh and cry.

However, they soon found that the other people around them looked a little strange, everyone stared at the jumping bear with strange eyes, but in surprise with a long time knowing that it would mean this, until Pannis was sweating profusely dragging the jumping bear into the camp, Vral smiled and nodded: "I guess you did this kind of thing, but I didn't expect you to actually do it." โ€

"It's a coincidence, it's pretty lucky. Pannis threw the jumping bear aside, and grinned at the little fox who jumped on the bear's corpse with a threatening expression, and after reaping the ignorance of the little fox who was less and less afraid of him, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, wiped the sweat on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can try it tomorrow, it's theoretically fine." โ€

"What have you done?" Catherine seemed to understand a little from the conversation, and asked tentatively, "Are you going to explore the front?"

"Do you know where the jumping bear is located?" Vral dragged the jumping bear and the little fox towards the outside of the camp, the food brought back from the hunt must be disposed of immediately, and must not be disposed of in the camp, this is the most basic attempt at a wild adventure, no matter how strong the team is, the basic rules still need to be followed. However, the hunting priest of the lizardmen came over with his tail wagging, took the jumping bear dragged by Her Majesty, and by the way, blasted the little fox aside with his tail and said, "Hiss, you tell them, I'll take care of it." โ€

"That's hard work for you. Vral nodded elegantly: "I don't think you know where it is, from where we are now, as a starting point, to reach the territory of the jumping bear is about thirty-four kilometers, and on the way through the territory of six different kinds of magical beasts, and they are all social magical beasts, and they are very aggressive, basically indiscriminately attacking any foreign powerhouse who intrudes into their territory." In the original plan, if we want to pass in a straight line, we need to confront these six types of demonic beasts head-on or try to hide and move as much as possible to avoid being discovered by demonic beasts, no matter which method is used, it will take two to three days to complete these thirty-four kilometers. โ€

"Actually, it's not slow, the Forest of Death is full of enemies. Doris swayed over, bent down and hugged the little fox in her arms, the little one seemed to like the wet environment in the mermaid priest's water curtain enchantment, snorted comfortably, and held her tail in Doris's arms and did not move. Doris teased the little one's chin with her fingers as she said, "Although this is only my second time here, I remember the last experience very clearly. Every 100 meters of progress here takes a lot of time and effort, and the situation is actually quite easy now. โ€

"But now there are people who make a round trip of 34 kilometers in one day. Vral's gaze turned to Pannis, who was fighting with the fawn for her skull, and the little skeleton seemed to have taken a liking to the sport lately, and was always happy after each scramble. Seeing Pannis's childlike behavior, Her Majesty shook her head with a smile and continued: "And not only did she go back and forth, but she also dragged back a trophy. This meant that he had found the gap between the six groups of demonic beasts, and he could pass safely without inducing a battle. โ€

"What's more, it saves a lot of time, and at least makes up for the day that I used to recuperate. Doris said meaningfully, "That way, you don't need to feel guilty about wasting a day, don't you?"

The girls felt a warmth in their chests, each of the demigods had spent a long time, and they were very good at adjusting their mentality, so from beginning to end, they couldn't adjust their mentality, because only the four of them felt uneasy today, and in the hearts of the girls, they always thought that if they were just demigods, even if they were cleaning up the camp overnight, they could set off normally the next day, and everyone agreed to take a day off to take care of themselves, so the guilt was even more serious. And Pannis's behavior invisibly resolved the guilt in everyone's hearts, although the price was to run 70 kilometers in one day. (To be continued.) )
