Chapter 21: The Starter Tree

Miki got up from the ground and looked at Novatello beside him with trepidation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis strange tree is so tall and leafy that you don't know where the ants are crawling from.

"Look carefully," Nicholas, the lightning mage, stretched out his finger, and the arc of lightning on his fingertips stretched and jumped onto the trunk of the Novatello tree, "Those red Novatello ants are hiding in these tree holes. ”

As soon as the words of the lightning mage Nicholas fell, countless Novatello ants poured out of the small holes covered with the trees, and they climbed all over the trunks of the trees, making the trees turn red in an instant.

"Damn," Morgritte put down the hammer in her hand, and the curse in her heart never stopped, "are you all novices, don't you know that such a dangerous thing can't be provoked?"

The Grey Dwarf's strong arms dragged the two men out of Novatello's envelope. A floral breeze blew softly, and the red leaves of Novatello swayed gently with a rustling sound.

"I'm getting out of here," Goblin Miki cried, "I hate this little thing crawling around the most, I swear I'm going back." ”

Mowglitte also felt bitter in his heart, his hammer was still under the tree of Novatello, how could this be good. The gray dwarves don't want to be like goblins and get bitten everywhere.

"Captain, where is our captain," Nicholas, the lightning mage, looked around, "where has she been, why is she gone?" ”

The valley suddenly became silent, and there was an eerie atmosphere around it.

"She's going that way," Mowglitte said, gesturing behind Novatello, where there was a blooming flower, "she's gone to fetch water, and we ran out of water when you got entangled in the ants in the tree just now." ”

The remaining three people of the adventurer team looked at each other, not knowing what to do, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and for every adventurer team, such a thing would happen sooner or later. A teammate is missing, what to do, whether to move on or stop and look for the missing teammate. The legendary squad of the Magical Revival has faced a severe test.

The lightning mage took out the pointed mage hat from the inside of his backpack, and it would have been safer to wear a sturdy mage hat in this unsettling place. The mage's hat was embroidered with a short staff with black silk thread, exactly like the one he was holding. This is the hallmark of a trainee mage.

"We need to have a meeting," Morgritte stood up angrily, "you two novices, listen to me, this is not the kind of Black Forest where you can do whatever you want, we are exploring in a strange place." ”

"Alright," Goblin Miki got up from the ground and struggled to open his red, swollen eyes, his green forehead was bitten by a few Novatello ants, and a finger-sized bag swollen on it, "what do you think we should do?"

The lightning mage nodded, straightening up the crumpled mage's robes from the vines.

"We can't act rashly here," Morwritte pointed at Novatello not far away, holding out his fat finger, "and these things that we don't know must be far away, and we must not touch them." ”

Suddenly, a huge pitcher plant hung down from mid-air, and it opened its turquoise flowers and swallowed Mowglitte in it, and then closed the green lid.

The two novices who had just been warned were apparently stunned by the sudden appearance of the giant pitcher plant, and watched as the pitcher plant swallowed the mowglitte and disappeared behind the huge green bushes behind.

"What now?" the two novices, who were stunned, didn't dare to move.

"What's going on?" the archer who had gone to fetch water returned, and she hurried back, "What about Morgritte, where have the gray dwarves gone?"

"He's been eaten by a flower," Nicholas, with the pointed mage hat on his head, gestured to a huge shape, his voice distorted a little with a trembling tongue, "like a giant lantern with a green lid on it." ”

"Damn, how did you mess with that thing. Blaney threw the water bottle in his hand on the ground, took off the wind chase on his back and held it in his hand, "It's a more terrifying existence than the wolf of the wind, I hope Mowglitte's bones haven't been melted by the dragon grass when we rush over." ”

Goblin Miki picked up the hammer from the ground and followed the lightning mage, and Blaney's voice came from the front, "Get at least two meters away from those Novatello trees so we can pass safely." Don't alarm the fast crawlers on the other side of the tree, and slow down if you don't want to be left in the Dark Valley. There's really nothing too good to do about these little things, even dragons will tremble. ”

There is a wide river cascading down from the high mountains in the distance, and as it flows through the valley, the terrain becomes flat and the flow slows. In the distance, the tall trees were lush green, and the mist in the valley was steaming, like a late spring afternoon, humid and sultry.

After passing through the woods of Novatello, the terrain gradually opened up, and Blaney led two novices in search of the traces of the dragon grass. Soon the three of them came to the river.

"I remember that the dragon grass seemed to disappear in that direction. Nicholas, the lightning mage, reached out and gestured behind a grove on the other side of the creek.

"That's not right," Goblin Miki stepped forward and pointed in the other direction, "That's where the Demon Dragon Grass went. ”

"Where the hell is it," Blaney suddenly felt his head grow larger, "you two have figured out which direction the Demon Dragon Grass is going." ”

"Over there," the two men looked at each other, pointing in unison to the other side of the river.

The three of them stopped at the edge of the river and began to get worried, the river was almost five meters wide, and it was impossible for a person to jump across the river. It's no other way to go, and it's certainly not a good idea to go into the water in a dark valley full of dangers, because you don't know what strange things are going to come out of the water.

"Come with me," Blaney led the way, "and I know of a place to cross the other side of the river, but the other side of the river is much more dangerous than this one. You all have to be careful. ”

The three of them walked down the river, and after a few steps, they found a large tree on the river. The big tree was nesting right across the river, covered with moss, and it was apparently dead for many years.

It's a natural single-plank bridge, but it's very slippery.
