Chapter 176: The Awakened Dwig
A dozen eyes were neatly focused on the person who was whispering, and everyone could hear it, it was Anne's voice floating in the air. But no one was nervous www.biquge.info because it was easy to hear that the little one's whisper was not frightened, but just surprised and flustered.
"Shhhh Catherine beckoned to the little banshee, let the little one float into her arms, and asked in a very low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to make a sound, did you see something that surprised you so much?" ”
Anne covered her mouth hard, revealing a cute expression that resolutely stopped making a sound, and stretched out her finger to the stream in front of her, because the little one had been floating in the sky, the field of vision was much larger than that of the girls, and she could see clearly where the team could not see. The girls were just about to follow Anne's direction when they heard Pannisy cough dryly, and whispered, "If I were you, I wouldn't go to see it, unless you don't plan to eat lunch for a while." ”
The girls were stunned for a moment, and after a little hesitation, they stopped looking over there, but Lina, who was the most curious, couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, and pulled the expressionless Eva to deviate a few steps in the direction that Anne pointed, and saw something that made Anne can't help but exclaim.
It was three corpses, three corpses of arrow rats, and the corpses were lying on the bank of the stream, and if it weren't for their obvious physical characteristics, it would have been difficult to tell what kind of creatures they were. The corpse looked like it had just been dead for only two days, the surface was not completely decomposed, and the white spikes were still softly rolled on the surface of the body and had not fallen off. However, if you look closely at the corpses, you will see the difference between the three bodies.
Although their body surface is not completely rotten, but there are dense thumb-thick blisters, the blisters are round and full, and the viscous liquid seeps out from the surface of the blisters, some of the blisters have burst and festered, forming deep pits on the surface of the body, and dozens of thin granulations grow out of each pit, which are dense and make people feel cold when they look at it, and the heads poke out together with the granules, as well as purple-black pus and blood constantly oozing out from the deep pits, and with the wind blowing, it exudes a burst of fishy smell.
"Smack", a blister just burst under Lina's gaze, the black blister burst like a burst berry, and the liquid inside splashed in all directions, making the ground splashed with liquid. A mass of gel wrapped in black slurry was sprayed out with the force of the bubble bursting, and it collapsed beside the stream like a puddle of water, squirming into the stream little by little. Perhaps the distance between the corpses was a little far, or it could be that the time for the ejection was not the right time, the colloids stopped at a distance of less than thirty centimeters from the stream, and could no longer squirm, and after a few seconds, under the scorching sunlight, the gelatinous liquid began to quickly dehydrate and dry, and finally left only a dry film on the side of the stream.
"Uh......" The dense holes had already made Lina's bare scalp tingle for a while, and the blisters that burst finally destroyed the last line of defense in the girl's heart, Lina couldn't help retching for a while, pulling Eva, who didn't seem to understand why the priest girl behaved like this, and quickly returned to the team, and her already white face became even paler.
"Look, I said, don't go if you want to have lunch. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and whispered with a wicked smile on his face, "After seeing that scene once, I'm afraid no one wants to watch it a second time." ”
"Bastard. Lina gritted her teeth and glared at Pannis viciously, but she couldn't blame Pannis for not reminding her, so she could only bite Pannis countless times in her heart, and her face softened a little.
But I have to admit that after Lina's sacrifice this time, the atmosphere in the team is a lot more relaxed, and the pressure that has been falling on the hearts of the girls like a stone before has been inadvertently released, and the girls have found that the perception of these arrow rats is not so keen, and it is not as imagined, and the sound of panting a little heavier will alarm them.
After crossing the creek and walking briskly for a few minutes, the girls noticed that their surroundings were changing little by little. It was a long stretch of road, and there was not a single tree around, and it was all green grass at a glance. But after crossing the creek, trees gradually appeared, although they were only a few meters tall, but they also made the grassland less monotonous. Under the low trees, groups of animals lay leisurely under the trees to enjoy the shade, and their expressions of satisfaction did not tell that they were living in the forest of death. A little farther away, there seemed to be a small commotion under the tree, and from a distance, there seemed to be a conflict between the two short-tailed kulan sheep over a mate, and the two pairs of thick horns were wrestling with each other, and the surrounding people seemed to be accustomed to this, and did not even look at it, but calmly lowered their heads and nibbled on the green grass on the ground.
Everything seemed so peaceful, compared to the Flash Forest and the Warcraft Jungle, this forest was like the most comfortable place to visit, and there was no sense of risk. However, the Forest of Death is so special, the Forest of Flashes and the Forest of Warcraft can see the danger at a glance, and it will make the intruder's spirit tense from beginning to end, but the terrible thing about the Forest of Death is that the forest is cold and murderous, always hidden under the surface of tranquility, and the intruder only sees calm and peaceful, but once he relaxes his vigilance because of what he sees, there is often no chance to re-alert.
"Hum", just when the girls' hearts were slowly letting go and no longer being as nervous as they were just now, a low vibration sounded around them. As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the feather arrows on the hunting bow of Her Majesty the Elf Queen had disappeared, and no one saw the process of drawing the bow and shooting the arrows.
The feathered arrows that reappeared, had been driven deep into the dirt of the distant meadow, and on the shaft of the arrow was a large mouse covered in snow-white with curly bristles on its back, which had just crawled out of the burrow, showing only one head, and before its body could crawl out of the nest, it was mercilessly nailed to the ground by Her Majesty's feathered arrows. The feather arrow shot diagonally through its eye socket, penetrating half of its brain, and then piercing through its neck, and the brain was directly destroyed, so that the arrow mouse did not even have a chance to struggle, and was already unconscious forever.
"I guess I just came out. Pannis, who seemed accustomed to Her Majesty's archery skills, did not express any surprise at this, but asked very calmly, "How long has it been out of the hole?"
"Less than three seconds. Vral drew a feathered arrow and put it on the string, and replied affirmatively: "I sensed it before it came out of the hole, so I can be sure that it didn't take more than three seconds." ”
"That's fine. Pannis nodded and said, "Looking at it from the angle of its cave, it just happened to be blocked by a bush, and theoretically it would not have been able to spot us before your arrow hit him, which is a blessing in misfortune." ”
"But its appearance represents a sign. "This is a conversation between two jungle survival masters who can make the jungle their home, and there is no room for others to interject at all, even Alcmene, who is also a hunter, cannot be inserted into the tacit understanding between the two due to the difference in environment. Vral said with a serious face: "I can basically be sure that it was not alarmed by external interference, it wanted to drill out on its own. ”
"So, you think they're out early?" Pannis frowned and said, "It's against their nature in theory, but accidents are always inevitable, well, it's almost half past nine, let's speed up and run." ”
"Won't you alarm more drums if you run?" asked Catherine, "what if you alarm more?"
"Now we're only ten minutes away from the end of the prairie, if we run fast. Pannis was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Even if you encounter arrow rats, the number will not be large, if you have one or two, you can clean them up directly, and if the number exceeds ten, you will open the shield and rush over, if the number is more, Vivien, your bottle will be thrown forward, and the flames will open the way for us." Rest assured, although the arrow rats are not afraid of fire, they are afraid of smoke, or they are very unsuitable for the smoky environment, then we can use the cover of smoke to pass quickly. Don't worry, as long as we don't get held back by them, they won't pose much of a threat to us. ”
"Got it, that is, you don't have to think about sound and vibration anymore, right? Catherine nodded, opened a separate backpack behind her back, and took out her cherished iris shield from it, although they were only separated for a few hours, Catherine was still full of joy for the reunion, carefully put the giant shield on her left arm and fixed it, just wanted to hit it twice with a one-handed sword, but at the last moment she woke up to the current situation, and put down her right hand with a smile.
"Sure enough. Vral's soft expression became solemn, and the speed of speech made the elf's already fast-paced accent even faster, sounding like the sound of rushing water: "There are more and more caves with movement, it looks like they are really preparing to move in advance today, is it really related to the change of leyline energy?"
"Whatever it has to do with it, it's not something we need to think about right now. Pannis drew his one-handed sword, brandished the steppe pointing forward, and was the first to rush out, shouting: "This is the direction, hold on for another ten minutes and leave their territory, and then we will be safe for the time being." Let's keep the formation and start charging, Vral you take the lead in front, Doris and Alcmene, you two assist Vral to clear the obstacles in front, Cornetta and Catherine, you two have high defense at the end of the team, and remember to pay attention to the flanks, it's now, go.
