CHAPTER XIII

After leaving the mushroom house in Mecca, the five-member adventure team first went to the nearest grove infested by green snails, and went around looking for the red snail king that Mecca said, but they didn't even see the shadow of the red snail. They didn't have time to trouble the green snails, they just continued to the north, in the direction of the snail groves.

As the group walked on the grass, the morning air was particularly refreshing, and the crystal dew dotted the leaves on the roadside, but the adventurers had no leisure to enjoy it. The sun was already high and it looked like it was about eight o'clock. Able looked at the sun and said, "We've used up two hours. This sentence seemed to wake everyone up, and everyone unconsciously quickened their pace.

"Will the Red Snail King be in the Snail Grove?" asked Lola. She also seems to be accustomed to thinking about her next step, and is gradually gaining the qualities of an adventurer.

"I think so," Wang Huarong said, "after all, there are so many red snails there." ”

"Anyway, let's go and see. Teese said.

Lin Juexiao looked at the atlas of Rainbow Island as he walked, and was looking at it in a daze, when he suddenly tripped over the stone under his feet and fell to the ground. Abel pulled him up, and his companions stopped, and Tis said, "You're really laid-back." ”

"Hehe, I'm looking at the map. Lin Juexiao smiled, not caring about the dirt on the white clothes.

"If you're not hurt, let's hurry up, we have to find the Red Snail King quickly." Seeing that he was fine, Tis urged.

"Hmm. Lin Juexiao said.

The crowd quickened their pace and headed to the snail grove. It didn't take long to reach the vicinity of the snail forest. Tess's familiarity with the area was like his own back garden—he knew all the clearings there, where there were more red snails, and where the easy-to-walk forest paths were. Truly a well-deserved scout on this team.

Tees quickly led the group to turn the snail grove upside down, but still found nothing. Only the blue and red snails were crawling in peace, as if they knew that they had no time to look for trouble.

At this time, Tees stood in the clearing of the snail woods, looked around, and was a little nerve-wracked. He couldn't help but look at everyone to see what they had good ideas.

Wang Huarong pondered and guessed: "Could it be in the west? The hill infested by flowers and mushrooms is a powerful monster after all." ”

Tees shook his head and said, "We went there twice a few days ago, and although the first time we were injured and only moved in a small area, the second time we went to expand the range of activity a lot—and the place was flat, and there were monsters as big as houses, which could be spotted at a glance." ”

"Will the Red Snail King fly in the sky?" asked Lola.

The other four were instantly petrified.

"Ah...... What's wrong?" said Lola, not knowing what she had said wrong.

"Uh, nothing. Tees busily said.

Able smiled, "The Red Snail King will not fly in the sky, because we will not fly, and Mecca will not have a trial that cannot be completed. ”

"I see. Lola nodded.

There is no need to explain so seriously and reasonably, that kind of thing can't fly even if you think about it! Wang Huarong sweated in his heart.

"Come and see. Lin Juexiao looked at the map in his hand. Everyone gathered around after hearing this.

Lin Juexiao pointed to the green snail grove on the map and said, "This is in the central part of Rainbow Island," he pointed to the snail grove and said, "This is in the northwest of Rainbow Island." Then he drew a line from the green snail grove to the snail grove and said, "From the green snail grove to the snail grove, there are two increasing phenomena, one is that the snail monster is stronger, and the other is the higher the humidity of the environment. ”

Lin Juexiao paused, and then said: "I think the snail monster likes a humid environment, and the stronger the snail monster, the more humid the environment." With that, he looked up at them and asked, "What is more humid than in the dense and shady woods?"

"By the sea. Tees had already understood Lin Juexiao's thoughts, and said quickly.

"Yes, we will now go north, where the snail grove is near the sea, and most likely we will find the red snail king. Lin Juexiao smiled.

"Awesome. Wang Huarong couldn't help but admire, and really admired Lin Juexiao's analytical ability.

Able and Lola were already surprised by this. Tees laughed, "That's not trivial, there's another thing you don't know about him." He was referring to Lin Juexiao's learning of vindictiveness.

"What's the matter?" Wang Huarong asked curiously.

"Let's go, it's almost noon. Tis didn't answer, but urged him, and the crowd began to leave.

"Oh...... Good. Wang Huarong followed suspiciously.

The crowd quickened their pace and walked towards the north. After passing through the second half of the snail forest, even at noon, the humidity in the air was clearly felt, and the muddy road mixed with the wet soil and rotting leaves beneath your feet became more and more difficult to walk.

Tees had never led them across, for he knew that the roads were in terrible condition, and that hunting red snails did not require such an innocent sin. But now the situation is different, they must get as close as possible to the wet place and look for the red snail king.

The five-person adventure party walked for a while in this terrible environment—they don't know how long it had been, and the flow of time seemed to have become indistinguishable in the dark tall woods. Then, at last, I saw the light at the edge of the woods, and the sea looming between the dense trees.

"It's almost there, keep it up. Tis looked ahead with delight.

But he didn't notice that on his left, hidden behind two tall trees, in the darkness: a behemoth was quietly opening its eyes and looking at this tiny human.

Lin Juexiao pulled Tees back almost immediately. Before Tis could understand what was happening, he saw the two trees in front of him suddenly be violently struck by something huge, breaking into four parts.

The top half of the two trees made a loud "boom" as they collapsed into the woods, filling the eyes with branches, leaves, and sawdust, and then when the dust settled, a huge monster appeared that made everyone's scalp tingle - in the dim and light environment, its majestic body was like a mountain abyss, making everyone who witnessed it have the urge to worship, it was a kind of coercion from a powerful being.

"This is ......" Wang Huarong was stunned.

"King Red Snail. Tees said slowly.

After seeing the red snail queen in full form, Lin Juexiao stood in place, stunned to look at it, and fell into a fascination with it - the huge body was so rare and charming, the huge snail shell was as thick as the frontal armor of a tank was covered with grass, the head was a large pale beard, and the strong body was exposed, and the pair of eyes the size of a window - this kind of emotion can only be experienced when zoologists find living dinosaurs.

Lola stepped back, everyone be careful. Able clenched his iron axe in both hands and said in a deep voice, as Tis and Wang Huarong both held their weapons and looked with bated breath. Lola was far behind: she knew in her heart that all she could do now was not to interfere with her companions' fight.

Only Lin Juexiao was still immersed in the shock brought by the Red Snail King, and it wasn't until Tis shouted "Lin Juexiao!" that he woke up like a dream, suppressed the feeling of calling from the desolation, took out his weapon and jumped back to Tess's side.

At this time, the Red Snail King approached again, and his entire stout upper body twisted slightly to the right to accumulate strength, and then threw it violently - this was the sweep that broke the two big trees just now.

When the Red Snail King was about to fight, everyone had already jumped backwards, and as a result, a few more trees were broken, and no one was injured. A loud sound echoed through the snail grove, startling flocks of forest birds.

After Lin Juexiao regained his composure, he only observed for a moment before making a conclusion, and said loudly: "This kind of attack can't hurt us who blindly dodge! But if you want to attack it, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be swept away." Hit by such an attack, no one survives. ”

"What then?" asked Tis dodging a branch that had fallen from above.

"It doesn't make much sense for us to gather together - scatter around it! Stay out of the way, observe it, it must have some weaknesses!" Lin Juexiao shouted.

"Okay!" Tess, Ebel, and Wang Huarong all dispersed in the other three directions as he said, carefully observing from a distance.

When the Red Snail King saw them scattered, he turned his body and launched a fierce sweep at them one by one, but this slow and obviously castrated attack had no effect on the four adventurers who had mastered the fighting spirit and the agility of the body. The Red Snail King seemed to be angry, and swept even more ferociously.

Tees jumped several times on the branches, standing taller than the Red Snail King on the tree. The Red Snail King swept over, but only swept the trunk below Tees.

Seeing this, Lin Juexiao's eyes lit up, and a thought flashed in his mind: "Is it the wrong accuracy?" No, every time the Red Snail King attacks the people on the ground, it is very accurate, and everyone has to jump quickly to dodge. ”

At this time, the Red Snail King attacked Wang Huarong again, and the strength of its thick upper body was completely different from that of ordinary snail monsters, just like the muscles on a human body. Lin Juexiao suddenly thought of something, the corners of his mouth curved, and he shouted to Tess: "Tish, you jump to a higher place than the Red Snail King, be careful!"

When Tis heard this, he made a gesture that was fine, and stepped on the branch several times as he had done before, and stood on the high branch. In a few moments, the Red Snail King swept over with his strong neck, and the trunk immediately snapped, but Tees was unscathed.

Lin Juexiao said happily in his heart: Sure enough.

He immediately shouted: "Its weakness is that it is too strong, and its flesh is almost as good as muscle!"

Wang Huarong shouted, "Is that a weakness?" and dodged another fatal attack as he spoke.

Lin Juexiao smiled: "When you exert yourself, can your muscles be bent?"

"Of course not. Wang Huarong replied, feeling very strange in his heart - how could he ask such an inexplicable question at this juncture?

"I see. Tees also smiled, he already understood what Lin Juexiao meant.
