Chapter 196: Knowledge of Hometown

Pannis's current appearance is very strange, or rather, everyone in the team is now very strange, and people can't help but want to laugh when they see it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info On their heads, each person wears a helmet carved from the wood of a dancing tree, and the yellow-green wooden helmet is fastened to the head like half a green melon. Not only did they have helmets on their heads, but everyone was also wearing a bark armor made of dancing bark, and of course the workmanship was extremely rough, and a few pieces of bark were barely tied to the body, so as to ensure that the body was tightly wrapped around it, as for the aesthetic aspects, it was completely out of consideration. In each person's hands, they also held two yellow-green wooden shields, the thick shields were heavy, but they were still very easy for professionals above the Legend level, and they would not affect their normal movements.

Ten minutes ago, after everyone had rested for a while in the dense forest, Coranda swung her axe and slashed down a dancing tree, this time Flar didn't say anything, after all, it was a necessary attrition, and it was not her own hands, it was within the tolerance of the elves. Although a dancing tree is only a dozen meters high, it is enough to make temporary armor for all members of the expedition, after the tree is cut down, everyone works together, and in a few minutes they have finished making their own armor, although it is awkward to wear on the body, but it feels a lot safer.

"Isn't this sense of security really an illusion?" Catherine asked with some concern, "I always feel that this kind of armor that will fall apart at the touch of a touch cannot bring any defensive ability at all." ”

"Don't worry, this set of armor, uh, barely called armor, although they are really ...... Featured, but the effect is fine. Pannis looked at Catherine, who had always behaved seriously, but now wore a tattered hat like emerald melon skin on her head, and his seemingly serious face, his muscles were constantly twitching, and he was obviously struggling to hold back his smile, and even his voice was a little strange because he was too hard: "The first time we encountered the fraudsters, we also saw the dancing trees, but because we didn't understand their characteristics, we couldn't use them against the fraudsters. Later, after returning to the human world, I heard about the properties of the dancing tree by chance, and in order to verify whether my conjecture was correct, I talked to ...... She went back there to do an experiment, and it was determined that this armor was very effective against fraudsters, probably because the dancing tree could absorb some degree of sound, anyway, it was okay to use this armor to protect some important parts of the body, such as arms and legs that were exposed, but the internal organs and head must be protected, and the ears should be covered, so that fraudsters could not cause any harm to us. Well, of course, the shape of the armor that time was still a little different from now, hahaha, just a little bit. ”

"I always feel like you made it so ugly on purpose. Although Catherine muttered like this, she actually knew very well in her heart that the armor was so ugly mainly to hurry up, and in the final analysis, it was also for several legendary girls, including herself. After all, the high-intensity journey to hell has lasted for five days, even if the experience of these days has allowed the girls' potential to be well explored, but there is still a limit to people's endurance, and now, Pannis can see that the girls are really on the verge of the limit, hoping to reach the predetermined goal as soon as possible, and it is impossible to spend half a day making more than a dozen sets of armor that are only used once. Catherine, who is good at reading people's hearts, can naturally understand Pannis's inner thoughts, so she doesn't really have any dissatisfaction with Pannis, but just mutters a few words as if teasingly, and raises the two wooden shields in her hand to correct.

The whole team formed a strange formation, everyone was three to four meters apart from each other, and the direction of the tilt of the shield was also different, such a formation caused the team to look straight in any direction except the front, although everyone's position was not on the same plane, but what they saw was only a few wooden shields, and it was completely impossible to see the people behind the wooden shields. As for the front of the team, Pannis is at the forefront, and as he can sense the enemy's attack, this position is the most suitable, and if an attack comes from the front, he can block it with a wooden shield as soon as possible.

"But, you say it can absorb a certain sound, but in fact they didn't have any sound from their attack just now. Lina asked suspiciously in her position, "Isn't it possible to absorb sound?"

"What he can't explain, the answer you can only give is speculation. Dilly the Manticore-tailed Lion was the only expedition member without a shield, and it was covered with a layer of bark, covering its head, so that it could only see what was directly in front of it, and his very depressed voice came from the bark of the tree: "You can understand it this way, they just emitted some kind of high-frequency vibration wave that is beyond the range of most creatures, although you can't hear it, but it is still a kind of sound, to be exact, a kind of sound wave." This kind of wood does not absorb sound, but this type of sound wave with a high vibration frequency, and instead of reducing the amplitude of the sound wave, it absorbs it directly. So you can rest assured that with this kind of wood that absorbs high-frequency sound waves, the fraudster's attack will not be able to break through your defenses, and of course, if any parts are exposed to the armor, it will still be affected to some extent, although the effect will be much less. ”

"Yes...... Is that so?" Lina scratched her head as if she didn't understand, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I don't understand very well." ”

"Of course I don't understand, this is what my hometown says, don't ask me why, that's all I know about it. The bark made Dilly's body a little uncomfortable, and the manticore shook his body, and roared a few times in dissatisfaction before muttering to himself: "Fortunately, it is still the same in this regard, otherwise it will be even more embarrassing, it is really annoying." ”

"You're describing a situation similar to that of a bat. Pannis habitually rubbed his chin, but was almost slapped in the face by the huge shield, and could only smile and say: "I remember that some scholars said that bats rely on making this inaudible sound, and then perceive echoes to move freely in the dark, and then this method was learned by the thieves, and it became one of their skills now, but the sound made by using this skill can be heard." ”

"Yes, bats emit a type of ultrasound. Dilley nodded, but found that no one could see his movements under the bark, and said very depressedly: "As for what ultrasound is, don't ask me, I don't know." ”

"Wait. Pannis's footsteps suddenly froze, his muscles seemed to stiffen, and he slowly twisted his neck, looking at Vral and then at Catherine. The two ladies also seemed to react to something, and said in a astringent voice, "Bats?"

"Raise your shield. Pannis let out a loud roar and rolled on the spot at the same time, giving way to his place. (To be continued.) )
