Chapter 165: A Calm Camp
Outside, it was already dark, the ubiquitous birdsong had completely disappeared, and the dense forest fell silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe dense forest in the dark night is still sweltering, there is no wind, only humidity and heat, the night covers the whole forest, and the trees outside the camp are swallowed by the darkness, leaving only a vague shadow under the faint moonlight, like a monster lurking in the night, peeking at this hidden camp.
Occasionally, there would be a flurry of sounds in the forest, which seemed to be distant and unstable, but in fact it was just the grinding of branches and leaves, and it sounded like the murmurs of hell. If you listen carefully, you will know that Suosuo's voice is often mixed with a terrible roar from a distant place, and it is already extremely faint here, and the roar is full of pain and despair, telling of reluctance to give up on life.
"Goo, goo, goo", if you listen too attentively, you will definitely be frightened by these sudden cries, the cries made by night owls in the middle of the night are often short and abrupt, and the cries are very penetrating, as if they are ringing in the ears and shoulders, enough to make the people who hear them terrified and creepy.
However, although the dense forest outside is as terrifying as a horror story in the middle of the night, the small camp is peaceful, like a quiet haven in the midst of a storm, comfortable and safe.
Two Crystal Lamps hung from the trees above the camp, illuminating the entire range. In the center of the camp is a small, enclosed stove, which is connected to the outside world only by the mouth of the firewood stove, and the vigorous fire jumps in the hearth, illuminating the faces of the people around it. There is a small pot on the stove, and there is still a small half pot of green paste left in the pot, which looks terrifying, but the rich aroma of food wafts out of the pot, and the tempting aroma makes people rather endure the strange color of the paste than eat this food, after all, the secret green umbrella mushroom porridge made by the elves is not something that everyone can eat, especially the works cooked by the elf queen herself.
There is also a circle of wooden platforms next to the clay stove, and metal plates are placed on the platform in front of each person, and the few leftover food scraps can be seen in the sumptuous dinner. A rare giant blue silk crow in the outside world, the leg meat is cut into wide strips, smeared with the fat of the shadow deer, and after roasting, the fat turns into oil droplets, and gradually seeps into the leg meat, so that the originally tight leg meat gradually becomes loose and elastic, and when you bite into it, the shiny oil comes out of the leg meat and drips down the corners of the mouth, each drop is mixed with the strong fragrance of leg meat and fat.
On the side of the stove, Her Majesty the Queen, who is elegant and reserved, still maintains a dignified demeanor, sits on a stake with her legs sideways, bows her head and gently plucks the bowstring, melodious music flows from the bowstring and the tips of her fingers, soft with the power to calm people's hearts. The music of Her Majesty the Queen was accompanied by the leaves in the hands of Pannis, who lay on his back with his legs crossed and faced the sky on a dead tree, the green leaves were added to the folded hands, and when he played, he actually made a flute sound, which matched the music of Her Majesty the Queen, so that everyone was immersed in it, and he couldn't bear to make a sound for a long time until the music was over.
"Crackling", the flames scorched the firewood, making a subtle popping sound in the stove, and the smoke extended down the flue on the side of the stove to the air outlet dozens of meters away, which was already outside the camp covered by the hidden circle. The encamped team did not use open flames, in a humid environment like the Death Forest, it was difficult for open flames to last too long, and only by using the stove to isolate most of the external environment could the concentration of fire attribute element energy be increased as much as possible. Not only that, but the firewood for lighting also needs to be specially treated, and almost all the dead branches picked up are soaked in water, so it is impossible to use them directly, but with Vivian here, the girls stacked the dead branches picked up by Voral in the center of the circle drawn by Vivian, and after charging, the circle will automatically attract fire attribute energy to gather, so that the water inside the dead branches will be divided into free water attribute elements and dispersed into the air, so that the branches can be dried again.
Compared with the humid and stuffy environment outside, the camp in the hidden circle is cool and dry, and when repairing the camp, Pannis is unusual, and strongly asks Vivian to add an additional temperature and humidity control circle within the scope of the hidden circle, although the girls are puzzled, but based on trust, they still do it unconditionally, and when it is time to rest, they understand Pannis's intentions. Indeed, after spending a lot of time in a very bad environment, you can finally get a temporary respite, and let the body fully rest in a comfortable environment, which is of great help in relieving fatigue, both mentally and psychologically.
Catherine knelt on her huge iris, the only one other than Her Majesty who still maintained her demeanor, and even though she was intoxicated by the music played by the two of them, the knight maiden's gaze at the two was still slightly complicated. The priest girl reclined on Catherine's lap, and although she didn't know music, the beautiful melody still caught Lina's attention, and she didn't even notice that the fox in her arms had quietly stolen the food from her plate.
The atmosphere in the camp was something that the girls had never thought of before, according to their experience, camping in the adventure was a very serious matter, for the next day's journey, it was best to ensure as much rest time as possible, as it is now, everyone sat around and chatted and chanted, that is what should only be done during picnics, and should never appear in such a dangerous environment, not to mention that this is not an ordinary dangerous environment, but a dead forest called the demigod cemetery. However, the demigods present were more experienced in adventures in the Death Forest than the girls, so the girls did not express any opinions, but just patiently observed.
"It's necessary. Pannis seemed to feel the doubts that still lingered in the girls' hearts, and said lazily: "You may not think so, but the Death Forest is very stressful for us, including the three unknown creatures that are messing around over there, everyone's spirit is very nervous. ”
"Because of our existence?" Catherine asked, biting her lip, "We're still dragging everyone down." ”
"Actually, it has nothing to do with you. Pannis shook his head and said: "It's true that you are the shortcomings of the team, but you can't talk about drag at all, at least not until now, haven't you noticed, you haven't received any special care, and the tasks you share are the same as everyone else." As for the reason why we are more nervous, it is because our energy perception range is relatively large, and the deeper we go into the forest, the more creatures around us may pose a threat to the team, although most creatures do not really attack the team, but the mental pressure brought by them is real, so ......"
"Shhhh Vral abruptly interrupted Pannis's explanation: "The insect storm is coming. (To be continued.) )
