Chapter 163: Killer Bee

"Coo, coo, coo," a few eerie bird calls came from the treetops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The expedition team spent three days before and after, crossing the Lost Mountain of more than 2,000 meters, if it is an ordinary mountain range, the height of more than 2,000 meters is not at all for the legendary level professionals and demigods, and they can cross it in half a day, even if they walk slowly, one day is enough, but this is the Ocain Mountains, which is the recognized dividing line between life and death in the Yala Continent, even if the expedition team is such a powerful force, it must be extremely vigilant in this environment, similar to the danger of the weeping tree that is difficult to find, there are many on the periphery of the forest, and no one wants to be the first victim in the team just on the periphery。

"Even if you call it like that, I won't understand it. Hearing the bird's call, Vlar raised his head and said helplessly: "It doesn't reflect the meaning of the agreed call, no matter how much you call, it's useless, hurry down." ”

"Oh, I'm just screaming. "There's nothing dangerous ahead," said Pannis, who hung down with his feet hooked on the branches, and swayed like a swing, "and has found an abandoned camp where we can rest tonight." ”

Once over the Ocaine Mountains and into the dense forests of the basin, the expedition team immediately shrank from a loose marching formation to a relatively tight alert formation, with the Physics Professions surrounding the caster in the center, using their bodies as a defense to protect their more vulnerable teammates. In fact, taking risks in the form of a squad, the formation will be divided into many different types according to the number of people, but in general, the casting class is the core of the attack, unless there is no caster class in the team at all or the ability of the caster class is very low, other formation composition methods will be chosen.

As for Pannith, he and the Elven Queen are two special cases, the two are very familiar with the forest, and the survival ability in the forest is extremely strong, so the two rotate to be out of the team and scout. A good scout can greatly improve the safety of the entire team for a team adventuring in the jungle, but most of the time, the adventure process in the Forest of Death is dangerous for everyone, and letting a scout wander alone in an unfamiliar forest is no different from sending him to his death, so few teams will send scouts in the Forest of Death.

But Vral and Pannis are different, one is as familiar with the forest as his own home, the other is extremely sensitive to all senses, and is proficient in the skills of various professions, no matter how harsh the environment is, it is difficult to trap them, and with the two of them taking turns as scouts, the team at least does not have to worry about the threat from the environment or ambushers, as long as they focus on the unexpected events. However, just dealing with emergencies is already a headache for the team, and the distressing part of the Death Forest is often the unexpected situation, and Vral and Pannis rotate to find the way, also so that one person can be left to detect the unexpected situation in time.

"Doris, take five steps to the left. Vral didn't have time to respond to Pannis's words, so he reminded him in time: "Go slowly, don't go too fast, okay, you can lift the guard." ”

"Well, a hive of killer bees. Pannis hung on the tree and glanced in Doris's direction, let go of his foot and fell off his foot, and when he was close to the ground, he twisted his body, and he was already standing on the ground steadily, holding a green fruit in his hand that he had picked out of nowhere, and put it in his mouth and clicked and bite, the emerald green color of the fruit made everyone who watched him eat feel a burst of sour in his mouth. However, Pannis didn't realize this, but instead came to Doris's side and squatted down to look at the ground for a while, rubbing his chin and said: "How about we eat honey wolf ribs tonight, the honey of the killer bee can be regarded as the top delicacy in the world, do you remember the dishes with honey that you ate at the dinner party of the elven royal court, which are all made of honey of the killer bee." ”

"Don't mess with them, it's not like you don't know how troublesome they are. Vral shook his head with a smile and said, "If you want to eat honey, wait until you return to the royal court, we have specially cultivated honey, so let's give you some." ”

"It's farmed, and it's not as delicious as the wild. Although Pannis said this, he was still forcibly pulled aside by Catherine, although the knight girl knew that under normal conditions, Pannis just said that he would not really do stupid things, but she was afraid that he was not in a normal state now, so it was better to pull away quickly. However, when she pulled away from Pennis, Catherine still glanced at the ground, which looked just ordinary, and there was no trace of a beehive.

"What the hell is a killer bee?" pulled Pennis aside before Catherine asked, "Also, why did they build their hives on the ground, there is so much rain in the Dead Forest, aren't they afraid of water in the nest?"

"Actually, strictly speaking, this is not a complete killing hive, it can only be regarded as a part of the nest. Pannis explained: "Killer bees are very exaggerated, each one is the size of my fist, and there are tens of thousands of them in a nest, how big do you think their hives must be? ”

"Definitely. Catherine thought for a moment and nodded, "So they built their nests on the ground?"

"The underground is part of their lair, well, the main part, but this part is sealed. "When they build their nests, they choose a withered and hollow tree, place the entrance and exit of the hive at the center of the tree, and then follow the trunk to the ground, and little by little use the venom to corrode the soil to the side, and finally form a large underground cavity," said Pannis. They will coat the inside of the cavity with special beeswax to ensure the waterproofness of the hive, but the biggest disadvantage is that this beeswax will make the soil crunchy, and if you push too hard, it will directly collapse the hive. ”

"And then the killer bee will fly out to take revenge?" said Catherine, "no wonder Her Majesty was the Doris Priest just now." ”

"Of course there will be revenge, these killer bees are very vindictive. Pannis pouted and said, "It is said that they can come out of the nest and chase the enemy for three days and three nights in a row, and once they are targeted, it is difficult to escape intact." ”

"Tens of thousands of fist-sized bees. The knight girl imagined the scene of the overwhelming killer bees chasing after the enemy, and no matter how much the enemy ran, he could not escape from these flying ones, which would indeed fill people with a sense of despair.

"Look, that's a killer bee. Pannis suddenly pulled the girl's arm, pointed to a dead tree not far away, and said, "It's best not to get close to them, they have a strong sense of territory, and if they get close, they will be attacked, but they won't be hunted down." ”

Looking along Pannis's line of sight, there were several fist-sized killer bees lying on the surface of the dead tree, these small monsters had a gray-brown appearance, almost the same color as the dead tree, even if they were crawling around on the dead tree, it was difficult to find them from a distance. It is impossible to see exactly what they look like due to the distance, but at their tails, a long needle can be clearly seen, the jet-black needle is three centimeters long, and it shines with a palpitating sheen in the light.

"These guys are carnivorous, and the four large jaws in their mouths are so sharp that even with the strength of the Legendary-level flesh, they can bite a small piece of meat in one bite. Pannis said: "And their tail spines, in fact, are made of the coagulation of special liquid in the body, the special liquid in the body of a killer bee can be coagulated into ten tail spines, and after a period of time, they can secrete special liquid as a supplement, shhh, you look at those butterflies, they deliberately use their lives to give us an example." ”

Near the entrance and exit of the hive, several butterflies fluttered by, these colorful butterflies should also be magical beasts from the size of the body, but the aggressiveness is still far from most magical beasts. However, although these butterflies are not aggressive, but the killer bees are different, Catherine only felt a flower in front of her, and did not see any movement of the killer bees at all, she heard a few soft sounds of "dodo", and the flying butterflies were like fallen leaves, spinning and floating to the ground, and there was no more movement.

"Such a fast pace. Catherine took a breath and said, "At this speed, it's hard to see." ”

"Well, it's hard to see what they're doing when they're attacking. Pannis said with certainty: "The speed is too fast, even the strength of the demigod can't react, and the attack power of the tail thorn after it is ejected is amazing, you can see the traces left by the tail thorn on the tree." ”

However, in fact, the tail thorn did not leave any trace on the tree, and the slender tail thorn directly sank into the trunk, not only did it not enter the whole tree, but also left a small slender hole that was almost impossible to detect, and the depth of the small hole can be read, and the tail thorn pierced into the trunk at least more than ten centimeters.

"And their tail spikes also have the attribute of penetration, and the penetration ability is very high, ordinary Legendary-level shields can barely be prevented, but if there are a few more, they will definitely be pierced. Pannis went on to explain, "Even if it is a demigod's shield, if tens of thousands of killer bees attack at once, it will be pierced if you are not careful, and it will directly threaten the life of the demigod. So if you don't have the necessary reason, don't provoke them, it's too dangerous, and every year, many demigod monsters die from the stings of these killer bees that are classified as Legendary-level attack power. ”

"Then you want to steal their honey. Vral leaned over and sarcastically mocked Pannis, and then had time to ask in detail, "You found the abandoned camp?"

"Well, a few simple huts, and a stove that burns into shape. Pannis nodded, "We can just take advantage of it, and it will save you trouble tonight." (To be continued.) )
