Chapter 182: Lin Xi
Lin Xi is not tall, this is the first impression of the girls when they see Lin Xi, but then they will find that this is just their own illusion, in fact, the height of Lin Xi is generally between three and four meters, as for the reason why it will give people the illusion that they are not tall, because they are very strong, or rather, the width is very wide, the thickest part of the body can even reach two meters, and the body length is also about three meters. ↑,
These wall-like creatures are gray-green, with two thick and hard horns on their long faces, and the skin on their bodies is very special, several large pieces are covered with each other, as if they are draped with several heavy metal plates, and there are only a few gaps at the junction of the two plate-like skins, and it is said that the position of this gap is the most defensive, because all the gaps are covered by two pieces of skin, which has double the defensive power.
Their plates are very thick, the thickness of each piece of skin is close to the diameter of an adult male's thigh, and the outer layer of skin has been keratinized, as if covered with a layer of armor. If you simply count their defenses, even their distant relatives on the grassland, the voice-nasty armored cattle, are as fragile as babies compared to them. Legend has it that even if they were bombarded with the most powerful Crystal Cannons available, it would be difficult to inflict substantial damage on them.
"It's true, someone has tried it before, well, yes, it's that stupid goblin. When mentioning his old friend, Pannis's expression was still a little difficult to find out the amazement, but the look of amazement quickly disappeared, and he said affirmatively: "The curiosity of the goblins is sometimes not much better than Lina, don't fight, you can't make such a big move here, okay, don't talk about you, anyway, the curiosity of the goblins is also very strong." So one time he made a real yàn. Of course, the result of the real yàn is that he is chased all the way to the end of the territory by the angry Lin Xi, and he will be attacked as soon as he shows up in the future. ”
"How strong are their defenses?" Catherine looked up at a group of huge creatures dozens of meters away, and said suspiciously, "I don't have any idea of how you describe it." ”
"Well, let's describe it that way. Pannis thought for a moment and said, "You know the cowhide, well, of course you know, it's very tough, and it takes a little strength to cut with a sharp blade." Right. Now let's stack a hundred cowhides together and press them into one, partially keratinize, and then continue to apply mud on the outside to form a hard shell, such a skin, if you don't use the fighting spirit, even if you use all your strength, can you leave scars?"
"It's hard. Catherine carefully simulated the effect described by Pannis, shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid there are very few people who can do it." ”
"However, this is only the defense of their skin, don't look at them as forest rhinos. In fact, they are earth-elemental magical beasts, they can absorb soil to form a layer of rock armor on the surface of their bodies, and the strength of the armor is greater than the strength of their own skin, even if they search the entire Death Forest. Mobs that can break through their defenses are also rare. Pannis explained, "It can be said that this is a magical beast with almost no natural enemies, and if they are not herbivorous magical beasts, I am afraid they can become one of the overlords in the depths of the forest." ”
"The road is open here. Vral's call came from behind. On everyone's pathway. Across it was a deep rift, two or three hundred meters deep, and below it was a fast-flowing underground channel. The rift valley was flanked by steep cliffs, separated by at least fifty or sixty meters, blocking the way of the team. Yesterday, when Peniston Guò was here, he directly used the characteristics of the inherent mental realm to pass through this obstacle within the realm, but today he is not only himself, so naturally he can no longer use yesterday's method.
Fortunately, there is Vral in the team, an adventure in the forest, Vral is simply like omnipotent, in front of her, there is no zài terrain obstacle at all. Originally, according to Pannis's plan, it was to directly cut down a giant tree next to the rift, and control the fall of the giant tree to build a natural bridge with the body of the tree, but this plan was temporarily vetoed by Voral.
The elves are reluctant to harm plants, which is recognized by everyone, but for their teammates, as long as they don't destroy plants meaninglessly like Corinda did a few days ago, the elves won't have too much dissatisfaction. However, if they can achieve the same goal by other means when their teammates destroy plants, the elves will still stop their teammates, as Vlar is doing now.
The other method of the Queen's Majesty is, of course, the use of plants, the trees, flowers and vines that can be seen everywhere in the forest are the biggest helpers of the elves, using the rapidly growing vines to create a temporary pontoon bridge over the rift, although it will be a little slower than cutting down a tree, but if you consider the possibility of wasting more time by breaking when the tree falls and the bridge fails, it is obviously safer to build a bridge with vines.
Fifty or sixty meters across the rift, the vines obviously could not reach the opposite side on their own, but there was also Alcmene in the team, and His Excellency the Hunting Priest tied a rope behind the throwing spear and threw it deep into the dirt on the opposite bank, providing a good climbing force for the vines, under the control of Vral, the two vines grew and extended at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few minutes they reached the opposite bank, wrapped around the giant trees on the opposite bank, and the third vine grew along the bodies of the same kind on both sides, so that a pontoon bridge was quickly built.
"Hurry up, Kyle. "Time is running out," Vral urged. ”
"How much longer?" Pannis, who didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing anymore, asked lightly, "Half an hour?"
"If you count the time of climbing, there are twenty-four minutes left at most. Vral's slender and beautiful brows furrowed, and he pulled Pannis aside and said, "Kyle, unless you run again when you were chased by the arrow rats just now, it's hard to get there in time, and you don't want to bump into them head-on halfway through the climb." But it's impossible to have the speed just now, a few of them are already very tired, and even if they still have bodies, it will be difficult to squeeze them out. ”
"It's just hard, isn't it?" Pannis smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "Don't worry, I have a plan." ”
Vral was silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened, and he said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Kyle, you ...... Well, I see, you're actually ......"
"Hey, hey. Pannis shrugged, gave a thumbs-up to Vral and smiled brightly, and turned back to greet everyone, saying, "Hurry up and cross the bridge, don't look at those cows, you will encounter a large number of forest rhinos along the way, enough for you to observe and enjoy." ”
Pannis is not wrong, after crossing the bridge, the fast marching team often encounters wandering forest rhinos, forest rhinos because of thick armor skin, it seems that they can't raise their heads, can only leisurely bow their heads to eat the grass on the ground, many black rhinos stand on the back of the forest rhino, occasionally put their thin beaks into the gap between the two pieces of skin, pecking at the mosquitoes hidden inside. When they saw the expedition, the rhinos on the back of the forest rhino would chirp loudly, waking up the forest rhino who was intoxicated by the green grass shoots. Whenever the expedition passed by a group of forest rhinos, the huge forest rhinos would raise their heads and look at the strange creatures with curious eyes, but it was clear that they had no interest in the members of the team, and after the passage of the trees, they focused on the tender food.
"That's right, they don't attack other creatures. Pannis threw a small stone at a forest rhino far away, and the stone obviously hit the other party, but Lin Rhino didn't even raise his head as if he didn't feel it at all. Facing Lina's gnashing of teeth after being taken aback, Pannis spread his hands and said with a lazy smile: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, I'm just giving an example." “
Although everyone is still talking normally, in fact, the speed of progress is already very fast, and everyone knows that there is not enough time, so even if everyone's clothes are soaked with sweat, even if the girls feel that their bodies are as hot as fire in the stuffy environment, they still maintain a speed close to running. At this rate, only Catherine and Eva could speak in a normal tone.
"But I always felt that there was still a problem. Catherine was still a little hesitant, her question had not yet been answered: "If Lin Rhino is really so docile and safe, why aren't there any large magical beasts here besides them? ”
"Huh?" the little fox was sitting on Catherine's shoulder, with a rabbit caught from unknown places in his mouth, and just when he heard Catherine's words, he called a few times as if he could understand, and put the rabbit close to the knight's girl's face, and the girl patted the little one's head with tears and laughter, and pushed the rabbit's corpse aside.
"Because they have a very bad habit. Pannis stopped abruptly, and the others, not understanding what was happening, followed suit. This time, Pannis did not pretend to be mysterious, and replied directly: "They are too nervous about the safety of their cubs, as long as they are cubs that have not yet passed the five-year juvenile period, if a creature gets a little closer, they will not hesitate to attack." ”
"I see. The knight girl nodded thoughtfully: "Although they usually don't take the initiative to attack, it is difficult for other creatures to guarantee that they will not approach their cubs, so they are all forced away?"
"Uh, Pannis, I have a very strict question for you. Lina suddenly tugged at the corner of Pannis's clothes, lowered her voice and said, "Is that the cub you are talking about?"
The location Lina pointed to was a shrub, a small head poked out of the bush, and the little thing that poked out the head looked similar to the forest rhino, but the whole body was pink, and the flesh was very cute. The little guy squeezed out of the bushes, walked a few steps towards the team, suddenly tripped over the weeds under his feet, rolled on the ground a few times, stood up and looked around blankly, with a blank expression that did not know what was happening, making people want to pick it up and pinch it.
However, everyone was in no mood to tease this little thing, because just a few dozen meters away, the attention of the five adult forest rhinos had already moved from the grass to here, and the gradually thickening wheezing sound and slowly began to enlarge their eyes showed that they were not in such a good mood.
