Chapter 43: The Crisis Looms
In the dense jungle, the humidity and shady environment can easily make some shade-loving and moisture-loving creatures gather, a large number of parasites, leeches, and all kinds of insects and vegetation fungi, under the shade of large trees, gather in groups. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
A badger was pulling on a piece of dead wood, and it had just pulled out a small gray squirrel from the cracked hole, and its eyes flashed with irrepressible greed and hunger, and it opened its mouth and bit it.
The little gray squirrel let out a mournful roar, and its limbs began to struggle wildly, but the badger's strength was completely force majeure to it, and it could only wave its claws in vain for a while, and then it died.
The badger couldn't wait to start biting at its freshly caught prey, eating it with relish and smacking.
However, the indulgence in the pleasure of the taste caused it to temporarily forget its reconnaissance of its surroundings, so he did not notice a pale green shadow slowly squirming towards him.
This faint green shadow is extremely inconspicuous, even if you scan back and forth with your eyes, there is a great possibility that this shadow will be ignored, because it is so well hidden, almost completely integrated with the environment, whether it is the color or the illumination of light and shadow, it is exactly the same as the surrounding environment.
The owner of this shadow, the slender and powerful body of the owner, slid silently on the ground, it coiled its body, ready to attack, a pair of cold vertical pupils stared at the badger motionlessly, and the letter in its mouth kept swallowing, exuding a mad and sinister aura.
At the moment when the badger was indulging in the deepest part of the delicacy and could not extricate itself, the shadow keenly sensed that it was time, and its coiled body suddenly straightened, and the huge force of the muscles bounced pushed its head forward like lightning, so fast that only a pale green phantom remained!
The pale green snake bit the badger at a very fast speed, and although the badger reacted in shock, its speed was like a slow motion compared to the green snake, the green snake opened its jaws, and the two fangs were wiped away, and the venom had been injected into the badger's body in a very short time.
The green snake retracted its head at the same speed, and by the time it had completed this series of movements, the badger had just finished dodging, and it didn't even notice that two small holes had appeared in its retreating part, and the blood inside had gradually begun to turn black.
The green snake raised its body against its poisoned prey with a smug look of triumph in its triumph, as if mocking and provoking, or simply dancing in celebration of the success of the hunt, and began to swing its body.
Suddenly, an urgent wind struck, and a swift figure rushed over!
The green snake did not hesitate to dodge behind the gray rocks behind, it had just released its venom and lost its biggest killer weapon, its combat power was quite ridiculous, and in the face of reminding humans who were more than ten times larger than itself, it wisely chose to retreat.
And the figure that got the speed didn't seem to care about it at all, and swept directly past the badger's side, his legs as if he was being pushed by the wind to swing, the alternating speed was very fast, and the whole person didn't seem to have a weight, and when he met a small slope or a small ditch, he actually walked on the ground, and just crossed the past, without being affected by the terrain at all.
"Oh my God, this [Swift Move] sorcery is so perverted...... No, it's not that the witchcraft is too perverted, it's that the grass seeds of the swift grass are too powerful, and the speed is almost impossible to stop!" This vigorous and swift figure is, of course, Yenifa who is hurrying quickly, but at this time his state is not very good.
His legs were parasitized by the seeds of the swift grass, and a large amount of air magic energy released by the grass seed was converted into wind energy and wrapped around Yenif's legs, and the huge air thrust forcibly wrapped his legs to swing at high speed, and the air magic energy released by the grass seed also weakened the resistance of the air in front of him, and Yenifa was now in a stage of continuous acceleration.
Although he had used the strength to control the muscles in his legs, he could not stop his legs from swinging faster and faster.
The swing of his legs kept accelerating, and the wind wrapped around his legs gave him the ability to ignore the terrain, and the released air magic energy also diluted the density of the air in front of him, reducing the resistance, and if this continued, Yenifa's speed would only get faster and faster, and finally he would completely lose control and die head-on!
"Brush Lala!" Yenifa jerked through layer after layer of foliage, and suddenly there was a sudden sense of openness in front of him, and what had been a dense jungle with heavy and deep locks suddenly turned into an open area, with only a few low bushes and moss and turf.
"This is it! This place is the 'safe zone' I'm looking for! It's not the same as my ideal of a grassy clearing, but it's relatively deserted, and there shouldn't be any wild beasts to disturb it!" Yenifa jerked his legs to stop, but his legs were not under his control, and he continued to gallop forward with the blessing of swift grass seeds.
"I said, that's enough, hey!" Yenifa was also a little anxious, and quickly took out a bottle of potion and threw it directly on his leg, the glass bottle suddenly shattered, and the foul-smelling potion inside splashed all over Yenifah's legs.
The stench of this potion can be compared to the kind of dirty public toilet that has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is still the level that is close at hand, lingering, although Yenifa has long known that the smell of this potion is unbearable and has been mentally prepared, but he still can't help but feel nauseous and nauseous.
The grass seeds of the swift grass were smoked by the smell of this medicinal liquid, and suddenly it was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, and it directly withered, losing all its strength.
Yenifa only felt that his legs were clear, and then he felt something crackling and falling down his legs, like a baked cake that was constantly dropping slag.
He lifted his trouser leg and saw that the swift grass seeds that had been parasitic on his legs and had taken root in the pores and flesh were now as if they were dead, and they had lost their vitality, and all of them fell off Yenifa's legs, and Yenifa goosebumps kept rising.
After enduring the stench and smearing the stinking liquid all over his legs like a skin cream, and making sure several times that not a single seed of grass remained on his legs, Yenifa finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
As a result, in the next second, Yenifa almost couldn't suppress the churning of his stomach and spit out because he inhaled too much odor during ventilation.
"Sister, just to get on the road, this is a ...... tossing yourself" once again took out a test tube from his waist bag, and Yenifa opened it and put it on the ground like a plague god.
This test tube seems to have some kind of strange fragrance, as soon as the stopper is opened, a strange fragrance covers all the stench, as soon as the test tube is placed on the ground, those quick grass seeds that are sickly paralyzed on the ground suddenly seem to have taken medicine and injected chicken blood, and suddenly they regain their vitality.
The grass seeds stretched out their roots and began to crawl on the ground! That's right! These grass seeds actually began to crawl like insects! They scrambled towards the mouth of the test tube on the ground, and the situation was like the sound of everyone jumping up and running out of the door in the dormitory where they had slept a second ago.
Yenifa endured the nausea so strongly, watching the dense grass seeds squirm and crawl into the test tube, seeing that his goosebumps were about to fall off, and when the last grass seed drilled into the test tube, Yenifa stepped forward and picked up the test tube, and then wiped a match and threw it into the test tube.
All of a sudden, all the grass seeds in the test tube were ignited by matches, and the grass seeds made a bean-like "beep" sound in the fierce flames.
The evil breath in his chest was exhaled, and the whole person felt extremely refreshed.
"Alright, it's over for now, and I should rest here too......" Yenifa picked a random rock with not so much moss, checked that there were no hidden dangers, and sat down.
I hadn't eaten anything since the morning, and I hadn't eaten a drop of water, and I was already dry and thirsty, hungry and hungry.
Taking out the dry food he carried, Yenifa chewed it in a big gulp, although the taste of the dry food rationed by the family was really not flattering, because after all, it was designed to meet the needs of survival in the wild, and the proportion of nutrition and energy was definitely greater than the taste and texture, but when he was hungry, everything he ate was delicious, at least Yenifa did not dislike this taste.
Perhaps it was the relaxation caused by finally finding a different place to rest, or maybe it was negligence caused by being too hungry, Yenifa did not do a very detailed and complete job of vigilance and observation of the surroundings, and only released two detection witchcraft [Detect Life] and [Hostile Perception] and it was over, so there were some small details that he did not notice.
For example, why the weeds in the meadow were suppressed by the wind when the wind blew just now, but a few weeds did not move, and why the low bushes grew so luxuriantly in this poor soil, these anomalies were so conspicuous to a veteran of jungle adventures, but they were all ignored by Yenifa.
In the final analysis, this may be just a small negligence, but it is just a matter of not observing the surrounding environment carefully, which is also human nature! Who would stare intently at the surrounding vegetation and ground all day long!
But it is precisely because of this seemingly inadvertent little negligence that a great crisis is looming over Yenifa!
