Chapter 181: The Rhinolar
The forest rhinoceros is a distant relative of the armored bull, and it is a very powerful magical beast, most of this magical beast lives in the dead forest, and there are only a very small number of forest rhinos in the outside world, and most of them live in the depths of the jungle that do not have the characteristics of the forest, and there are very few people who can really see them. β³οΌ
"The creature Lin Rhino is relatively fragile when it is first born, and it is about the same strength as an ordinary large beast. Pennis swung his sword and cut off several vines that stood in his way, and introduced to the girls: "This state will be maintained for about five years, and after five years, when their size grows to a certain extent, their strength and body quality will begin to grow at a very rapid rate, and this process will probably last for five years, until the end of their ten-year-old development period." Over the course of five years, they will go through the process of going from the lowest Black Iron Rank all the way to the Legendary Rank. β
"In other words, every forest rhino is a legendary?" Catherine followed Penis to climb up to a breakthrough, turned back to Vivien and stretched out her hand, dragged her up, lifted the black cloth covering her face, and wiped a handful of sweat that almost pooled into a stream with the black robe she put back on: "Hmm, or rather, at least it's all legendary?"
"Be careful. Pannis stretched out his hand to stop Catherine's footsteps about to land, and rushed forward and kicked away a fruit buried under the fallen leaves that only showed a little appearance, the fruit was just in the position where the girl was about to step out, and along the way, similar buried fruits were almost everywhere, everyone had long been accustomed to it, and no one would care about these inconspicuous and non-threatening things under their feet. However, this fruit was different, and at the same time as it was kicked away, it suddenly let out a popping sound from inside, and a slender cone shaped like a kernel shot out from inside the fruit at an astonishing high speed, and the explosion was not over. It had already crossed a distance of dozens of meters, crashed into a thick tree, and formed a fist-sized round hole on the surface of the thick tree, the round hole was fifty or sixty centimeters deep, and there were bursts of green smoke inside because of the high temperature, and a smell of burnt paste wafted from the tree hole.
"Hiss. What is it. Not only did the girls surprise the sudden appearance, but even the eyes of most of the demigods were attracted, and Alcmene couldn't help but tighten his grip on the spear, and asked suspiciously, "How come I have never seen such a strange fruit?" β
"It's nothing, it's just a very rare semi-plant life, it will be dormant in the fruit of the plant or in the roots of the flower, and once the fruit is destroyed or the flower is separated from the branch, something like that just happened would have happened, if it had happened naturally. They will also look for other targets after the object they are sheltering in has been damaged. If you are hit by them, it will be a bit troublesome, not only will the injuries be severe, but they will burrow into their bodies, devour flesh from the inside, and want to dig them out again, but they will have to endure a lot of pain. However, their smell is quite obvious, and you can spot them by following the taste. Pannis shrugged as if he had done the most inconspicuous of things. Pulling off the topic, he said to Catherine, "What you just said is right, Lin Rhino is indeed at least a Legendary Rank. Among them, more than half of Lin Rhino was a demigod-level demonic beast. β
"Such a powerful social creature?" Lin Xi's strength was somewhat beyond the imagination of the girls, Lina couldn't help but take out the Monster Illustrated Book and flipped to Lin Xi's page and looked at it again, the Illustrated Book did not say that most adult Lin Rhino belonged to the demigod level. The priest girl smacked her tongue and said, "With such terrifying strength, our situation is not very dangerous? β
"On the contrary, if only passing through. Lin Rhino's territory is the safest. Vral shook his head and said, "They are one of the few herbivores that can reach the demigod level, and unlike their distant cousin, the Armored Ox, the forest rhino has a very gentle personality, and they rarely attack other magical beasts except against hostile invaders. From this point of view, they can almost be regarded as the kindest group of demigod beasts in the Death Forest. β
"Huh?" Lina asked curiously, "Then why were the dart rats so afraid to enter Lin Xi's territory just now?"
"Because they're neighbors. Vral smiled: "These creatures are still very wary of the overlords of the adjacent territories, so once the rats enter, the forest rhinos will soon come to fight, they have a very sensitive grasp of the information of the territory, don't think that we are hiding well now, in fact, it has already been discovered." β
"Is it because of the rhinos?" Lina looked at the pictures in the illustrated book and said, "The information says that the rhinos and the forest rhino are companions, and it is undoubtedly these birds that help the forest rhino warn." β
"Yes, the rhinos. Pannis gestured to Vrard, and Her Majesty the Queen nodded and stepped forward, patting the edge of a dense bush that was wide enough to block everyone's path, as if it were alive, and began to actively deviate to the sides from above the roots, revealing a narrow passage that allowed people to pass through. Taking this opportunity, Pannis said, "But Lina, you don't have to stare at the PokΓ©dex, look up, there are real objects there." β
"Huh?" Lina looked up at the tree curiously, and on the lowest canopy branch overhead, several of them were covered in black feathers, only a few white feathers grew on their tails, and their beaks were slender and curved, which looked very beautiful. The black rhino sparrow was looking at the crowd passing below with shining eyes, and found that Lina looked up at her, with no intention of flying away, and did not even show panic, but only let out a series of quacking sounds, as if greeting the girls.
"Alright, let's get through guΓ². Vral clapped his hands, having finished his work: "The children are very uncomfortable like this, and I will do my best to restore them to their original state." By the way, be careful when passing guΓ², and try not to touch the children on both sides, because there are a few blood-losing vines mixed in it, and you may be scratched. β
The blood-losing vine is a vine that likes to be associated with shrubs, and its biggest feature is that it grows a large number of spikes like thorns, and even through a thick black robe, it is easy to scratch the skin. The vine secretes an ingredient in the spikes that does not cause any pain when it cuts the skin, and the wound is not easy to heal, and if the wound is deep, it may even cause the victim to die of excessive blood loss.
"So, having an elf in the team is a very happy thing for a forest adventure. Koneda held his beard and said with a happy face: "Not only can it open the way, but it can also eliminate most of the hidden dangers from plants, and most importantly, sometimes you can even use plants to eliminate the threat of some magical beasts, Queen XiΓ , next time I come to the Forest of Death, I will ask you to accompany me." β
"I'm sorry about that. Vral smiled and shook his head, "You better look for Moore, he led the team into the periphery of the Death Forest when he was a legend, and he has much more experience than me." β
"It's fine. Koneida patted his head, seemed to understand something, smiled a little ambiguously, and nodded: "Then I'll look for him, I guess you won't be available." But that guy is very lazy, and sometimes he would rather sing and sing at home for a few days than go out for activities. β
"If you waste any more time, we won't be able to catch up. Pannis interrupted the meaningful conversation with a dry cough, as the rest of the group had already cleared the path in the bushes, with only Floral and Koneda still behind them: "And aren't you still worried about the discomfort of these bushes?"
"Hey. Vral snickered, and hurriedly followed with Corinda, and the girl checked each other's clothes, and found that no one had been cut, so she was relieved. When I looked up, the rhino finch on the branch actually flew over, still quacking and dangling on the branch.
"They're spying on us?" said Lina in surprise, "I didn't expect to be so smart." β
"These rhinos are the eyes of the forest rhinos who control their own territory. Pannis said: "When you encounter Lin Rhino, be careful, don't put a fighting posture on them, they are very sensitive to the fighting posture, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble." β
With the conversation around Lin Xi, the team walked deeper and deeper in Lin Xi's territory, and the surrounding environment returned to its original appearance, hot and humid, dim and depressing, it seemed that the impact of the insect storm had passed, and the buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard in the ears, but the number was much less than the original. Along the way, you can see many large trees that have been broken from the bottom falling to the ground, and judging from the marks at the fractures, these trees were forcibly broken by force. However, there were not many broken stumps, and even a few were knocked out of the dirt by the newly grown trees and fell to the ground.
"These trees ...... Lin Xi broke it. Vivien jotted down her notes and asked, "Why do they have nothing to do with the tree, do they have any special needs?"
"No, with their strength, hitting a tree is not much different from breaking a piece of grass. "They're also very big, and it's normal to bump into or squeeze a tree while running," Pannis explains. β
"So it triggered the forest's counterattack?" Vivien asked, "Only the forest's counterattack will allow so many new trees to hold up the roots of the originally dead trees, and only the forest's counterattack can make the old and new trees look not much different in size." β
"Well, the forest rhino's territory often erupts into forest counterattacks. Pannis nodded, "They are so destructive that sometimes swarms of forest rhinos run, or when a battle breaks out, it will almost certainly induce the forest to fight back." β
"Have you noticed something strange?" Catherine's doubts became heavier and heavier all the way, and she couldn't help but ask, "Since entering Lin Xi's territory, we haven't seen any kind of large animals, have they all been driven away by Lin Xi?"
"There's a reason for that. Pannis said, "Yes...... Well, look, that's Lin Xi. (To be continued.) )
