Chapter 239: Ants Growing Mushrooms
Sometimes, Yongsan is a very lazy person, which has something to do with his thirty years as a fat man. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info for those things that he is not interested in, as long as he does not have to do them, he will generally put it off until the end. Only when things are in front of him will he give it a go, just like he did when he killed the giant carnivorous ants at this time.
With his casual move, he easily killed all the carnivorous ants that rushed over. But in the eyes of Louise and others, his lazy habit has become a manifestation of pretending. This made Louise and several other women feel that although Longshan is a master, he does not lack the high style and brightness that a master should have, all in all, their opinion of Longshan is no longer good.
So when Long Shan killed all the carnivorous ants, Louise just nodded to Long Shan, and instead of saying thank you, she asked rhetorically, "Do you usually like to pretend to be cool like this?"
When Long Shan heard this, he didn't understand and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"You don't like to be cool, why do you have to wait until the last minute, if we had sent these monsters away in the first place, we would have been terrified for a long time!" Louise said loudly.
"That's a strange thing you say!" Long Shan said, "I told you before that there were monsters in front of you and asked you to take a detour, but you didn't listen to me, and when I really encountered these monsters, I killed them, but you thought I was slow." Long Shan smiled at this, "Lady Louise, I am just a bodyguard hired by Xin Khan, as long as I protect you from accidents, my mission will be completed, but when and how I make a move, these are none of your business." ”
"You!" Louise was so choked by Long Shan's words that she didn't know how to turn back, so she had to stare at the other party with wide eyes. After Long Shan came to this planet, he had already become accustomed to the feeling of being stared at, so he ignored Louise's expression at all, walked to the side of those giant carnivorous ants by himself, and absorbed those floating spirits into his body.
"These spirits have basically not improved me, so these monsters should all be around level five. "Long Shan had been worried that the level of the giant insects here would exceed level seven, although the level seven monsters did not do him any harm, but the insects were all social animals, and once the number exceeded the range that Long Shan could resist, it was likely to hurt the few people he was protecting.
Just as Louise admonished her sister in disgruntle. When she didn't go to Longshan, the two guards in her group had already taken Longshan as their actual captain because they had been rescued by Longshan just now, and they walked to the edge of Longshan and asked respectfully, "Mr. Longshan, what are we going to do next?"
When Long Shan saw that they were asking him, he released his divine sense, searched around, and saw that there were no moving objects within two kilometers of the vicinity, so he said: "I feel that there are no monsters around, you can take those girls with this place as the center, and look for the task items within a radius of two kilometers." ”
Long Shan's voice was very loud, not only to the two guards, but also to Louise and the others who were standing on the other side. Although Louise is not very interested in Longshan, as a sober-minded scientific researcher, the previous events have made her believe in Longshan's ability to judge monsters. So she hurriedly recalled the two guards, and divided into two groups on her side, and then separated to find what she was looking for.
When Long Shan saw Louise and the others leave here, he hurriedly drove his sword and flew up, searching around the five kilometers at a very fast speed. However, I didn't find the long human-like plant at all, but found the nest of a dozen carnivorous ants in the direction of the south. Seeing this situation, Longshan estimated that there were hundreds of carnivorous ants inside, and thought that it would be more appropriate to bypass here.
So he hurriedly flew back to his previous position, and after a while you saw both groups of people walking back empty-handed, and it was obvious that they had not found the so-called green-eyed mushroom.
Seeing that everyone was disappointed, Long Shan couldn't help but ask one of the guards, "What does that green-eyed mushroom look like, is it hard to find it here?"
When the guard saw Long Shan asking him, he hurriedly replied: "Mr. Long Shan, we don't know what that green-eyed mushroom looks like, but we heard Captain Louise say that it should be a green mushroom similar to an ordinary mushroom, and it has a pattern similar to a human eye. According to the mission record, this mushroom also has a chemical property, and it takes experiments to accurately determine whether it is a green-eyed mushroom or not, and it is for this reason that the chief captain organized half of the medical team. ”
"There are also mushrooms that need to be tested to prove. It was the first time that Long Shan had heard this kind of talk, and he thought to himself that this planet was really magical enough.
At this time, under the cover of huge leaves, the position of Longshan was already dim again and slowly turned into night. Louise knew she couldn't go in today, so she had to let everyone rest in place. Although the ground was very muddy, Louise asked the two guards to help and set up a tent in a slightly drier position, which caused the fire to be built in another place, and although Longshan was unhappy with Louise's dogmatic approach, he saw that the two guards had no complaints, so he went with them.
Since the resting position chosen by Long Shan and the others was not bad, there were no monsters to harass them this night. When he got up the next day, Long Shan reminded everyone not to go due south, and Louise saw that Long Shan was so sure of what he said, so she asked the team to go southeast. When Longshan and the others avoided the carnivorous ant's nest from the southeast, Longshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The next day, under the advance reminder of Longshan, they didn't know how many waves of monsters they had avoided. I don't know if it's because they deliberately bypassed, they didn't see a green-eyed mushroom until evening, which made everyone inevitably have a thought, that is, whether the green-eyed mushroom would be born in the same place as those monsters.
That night, Louise summoned her men for a small meeting, and when Longshan saw them having a meeting, she hid herself, and she first said: "We have been in this forest for two days, and in these two days we have not encountered any danger, but we have nothing, and our food and water are only enough for a week, that is, we can continue to explore for a day or so." ”
One of the female researchers saw her captain say this, so she said, "I suspect that those green-eyed mushrooms are growing in the area where those monsters are infested, why don't we try to take a look around some monster's lair tomorrow?"
"Isn't it too dangerous for us to go to the monster's lair?" another female researcher was more timid, "Why don't we let that bodyguard take a look?"
"That's right, we don't have any combat ability, that bodyguard is so powerful, you can let him look for the location of the monster, anyway, the appearance of the green-eyed mushroom is quite obvious. The last female researcher also spoke.
"Well, here's a solution." Louise pondered for a moment, then said, "I've decided, I'll go with that bodyguard tomorrow." ”
"Captain, why are you going?" the timid female researcher asked, "you don't have much combat ability, so why take the risk?"
"I don't believe that fat man!" Louise said her thoughts directly, "I think that fat man, although he has some skills, does not care about our mission, but seems to be looking for something himself." I'm afraid that if he is left alone in the monster lair, he will only go to find what he is looking for and forget about our green-eyed mushrooms!"
"Captain, then you should stay, let me go for you!" said the female researcher who first proposed before, "You still have to be in charge of the affairs of one of our teams, in case something happens to you, I'm afraid..."
"Don't talk about it anymore!" Louise is also a stubborn person because of her dogma, "You don't have to worry about what I decide, in case something happens to me, you go straight back to the entrance of the forest, and let Tony take care of the whole situation!"
Louise has a high reputation in their ranks, so once she decides something, no one else can change it. And so the meeting ended. Then, Louise came to Longshan alone.
"Lady Louise, is your meeting over, but is there any good decision?" Ryuyama asked, sitting on a broken log, and when he saw Louise coming, he didn't even stand for a moment.
"Well, Mr. Longshan, we do have a plan!" Louise saw that there was no clean place to sit around Longshan, so she simply stood up and said, "After discussion, we decided to let you take me to the nearest monster gathering place tomorrow to explore." ”
In fact, Long Shan didn't find the man-like elixir he wanted in the past two days, and he also wanted to find a monster's lair to go around. So when he heard Louise's request, he didn't feel any discomfort, so he replied directly: "No problem, tomorrow when you're ready, I'll take you to find a monster spot to go around." ”
Louise didn't expect Yongshan to agree so simply, which also made it clear to her that Yongshan was indeed looking for something. This made her feel that her arrangement was still very correct, if she really let Long Shan go out alone, it is estimated that he would only look for what he wanted, and ignore the task items on his side. So Louise smiled at Long Shan and said, "In that case, then when we wake up tomorrow, let's set off immediately!"
Another night without incident. The next morning, when Louise woke up half an hour early by setting an alarm clock and walked out of the tent with her clothes dressed, she found that Yongsan was still sitting in the same place as last night, and still looking at her with her eyes open. Louise was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced at her watch, which was indeed just half past five in the morning.
Louise couldn't believe that this fat man could get up earlier than herself, but she still walked over very politely and said, "Mr. Longshan, I didn't expect you to get up so early, I don't know how you slept last night?"
Long Shan thought to himself that I hadn't slept all night, but for the sake of face, he still said, "I slept well last night, thank you for your concern." ”
Seeing that Longshan didn't look sleep-deprived at all, Louise asked, "Since we're all about well prepared, why don't we set off now?"
Long Shan nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”
So the two left the camp and walked due south before the others woke up. The reason why they are heading due south is that in the past two days, Yongshan has found that most of the insect nests are located south of the direction they are traveling, and Yongshan reckons that most insects like bright light. In the midst of this huge rainforest, there is always more sunlight due south than in other locations. And Long Shan didn't fly over directly with Louise, he just sincerely wanted this woman who had been targeting him to suffer a little more and make a little effort.
The two of them walked for almost two hours in a row, and they had advanced for more than ten kilometers, when Longshan suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Louise also listened and asked, "Why don't you leave, is there a monster's lair ahead?"
Long Shan nodded, but shook his head and said, "Let's go around this lair, there are too many monsters inside." ”
"There are too many monsters?" Louise actually couldn't figure out how Longshan knew that there were monsters nearby. If it was based on smell or intuition, Louise could understand that Ryusan had discovered the traces of nearby monsters, but Ryusan's statement that there were a large number of monsters made it difficult for her to understand. So she was skeptical of Long Shan's words, and asked, "Can there still be hundreds or thousands of that monster?" Besides, let's just go around the lair and see if there are any green-eyed mushrooms there, if not, why don't we leave?"
"It's okay to go around there and see it, but if there really is that mushroom, what are you going to do?" Ryuyama asked after looking at Louise.
"Eh" Louise didn't know how to answer, and after thinking for a long time, she could only say vaguely, "If there really is, then we will find a way to deal with it then." ”
Long Shan couldn't help but shake his head, and continued to walk forward with Louise. When they passed through a few bushes, suddenly a giant tree appeared in front of them, and they saw that the giant tree of unknown variety was more than 100 meters high and more than 40 meters wide in diameter. Yongshan and Louise were both amazed by the giant tree, and couldn't help but shout together, "What a big tree!"
Just as the two of them sighed at the enormity of the tree, a stumbling figure came from under the tree, and the two of them immediately looked towards the location where the sound came from, and saw countless huge ants operating back and forth on the trunk, the treetops, and the roots that emerged. These ants were completely different from what Longshan had seen before, each of them had smooth and sharp blades on their forelimbs, and could easily cut through the huge leaves of the trees and carry them back to the huge nests under the trees.
"It's a green-eyed mushroom!" Louise suddenly shouted. Long Shan followed her line of sight and found that around the huge **, there were large green mushrooms, each of which was the size of a backpack. At this moment, an ant that looked like a worker ant walked up to one of the mushrooms, cut the mushroom in two, and carried it back to the nest. Another worker ant placed a large leaf next to a few newly grown mushrooms, seemingly using the leaves as nutrients for the mushroom's growth.
"No wonder we haven't been able to find those green-eyed mushrooms, they were all planted here by these ants!" Louise saw those green-eyed mushrooms, her eyes straightened, and she hurriedly said to Longshan: "Mr. Longshan, I beg you, you must help me pick a few mushrooms and come back!" (To be continued.) )
