Chapter 80: Forest Crossing
When Wolf heard Hall say this, his face in the helmet turned red, and he said with a panicked expression: "No...... No...... Second brother, I didn't mean that. ”
Hall let go of Shakira, hammered Wolf in the chest with his fist, and said, "That's good, the three of us have experienced another life and death, and the relationship should be better." ”
Wolf didn't speak, just scratched the back of his head and laughed.
Hall looked at Wolf, then at Shakira, to make sure that the two were not injured, and then said: "We have received the life-saving grace of those seven adults, and we can't repay it for the time being, and the people of Snail Village are also very good to us, and when we become stronger in the future, we must come back to thank them." ”
Wolf said in a straightforward voice: "That's right, Sister Shakira and I also didn't want to go, and helped the village do farm work for two days!"
Hall smiled slyly and said, "Are you sure you didn't go to the village to wait for those seven adults to come back?"
As soon as she heard Hall ask, Shakira stuck out her tongue, grabbed Hall's arm, and said coquettishly: "Oh, second brother, don't ask so much." Let's go, my sister will take you to eat the famous pumpkin pie here, and by the way, there is a huge snail Monchi, you must not have seen it, right? This village is protected by snails!"
Hall poked the eccentric Shakira's forehead and said, "Your second brother has eaten and drunk enough, not only did I see Monchi, but he also gave me a gift!"
When Shakira heard this, she pursed her lips and said, "That big snail is so eccentric, I shouted at it countless times in the back, and it ignored me." But it not only talks to you, second brother, but also gives you things!"
Hall smiled embarrassedly and said, "Maybe...... Maybe it thinks it's more like me. ”
While the three of them were talking, a giant snail from the other side of the continent attracted their attention.
This giant snail is more than ten feet long and more than three feet tall, its whole body is covered with bright yellow hair, and its body is slightly fat, which looks a little tiger-headed.
Hall could tell at a glance that the snail was much younger than Monchi, and that it was crawling much faster.
"I didn't expect that a snail could crawl as fast as a horse. Hall said in amazement.
The other two were also very shocked, only to see that the huge snail had stopped in front of the three of them in a blink of an eye.
The snail seemed to regain its slow personality immediately after it stopped, and turned its head very lazily to look at the three of Hall, as if it was not interested, and the two tentacles on its head actually retracted, and its eyes were closed.
Only then did Hall see that on the back of the snail's neck, there was a freckled teenage boy with short maroon hair, very capable.
Compared with the snail, the boy looked very lively, waved the reins in his hand, and said: "Welcome to the three of you on the Yellow Lightning, I am Carl, this is my partner tough guy, the village chief asked me to pick up the three out of the village." ”
Hall laughed: "This Mr. Snail's name is very domineering, tough guy, I like it." ”
As if hearing someone say his name, the tentacles on the tough guy's head stretched out again, probing towards Hall, but finally shrank back lazily.
If it weren't for the speed of the tough guy just now, Hale really didn't believe that the snail cart would be able to send him out of Giffen Forest.
Carl patted the tough guy on the neck and said with some complaints: "Hey, lazy guy, don't fall asleep, I'll have to hurry later." ”
After saying this, Carl pointed to the snail shell behind him and said, "Three friends, what are you waiting for, get in the car." ”
Hall saw that a wooden handle had been installed in the center of the side of the snail shell.
He walked over and pulled slightly, and opened a circular doorway more than one person high.
The interior of the snail shell is very spacious, arranged like a study, with a red carpet on the floor, and in the center of the room eleven black lacquered nanmu round tables, the teapot on the table is still smoking, and around it are several plates of fragrant golden pumpkin pie.
There are a few vine lounge chairs around the table, which look very comfortable. There are even two tall bookshelves on either side of the room, which are filled with books of all kinds and some small potted plants as decorations.
The snail shell on the opposite side has also been made into a huge round floor-to-ceiling window, making the interior of the carriage very bright and warm.
The comfortable environment made the three of them give a thumbs up at the same time, and they were amazed.
In fact, although the village of snails is located in the dangerous Giffen Forest, the people in the village are not isolated, and the snail gel is even exported as far away as the capital city of Ivory Coast, Delaplon, so it is not surprising that they have a special means of transportation.
However, once out of the Giffen Forest, the giant snail will no longer move forward, and will have to take a chocobo cart or a horse-drawn carriage instead, so the snail cart will basically only travel within the Giffen Forest. In particular, the only way to get to and from Giffen City is by snail carts.
The snail cart converted from a seventh-level demonic beast can basically avoid most of the demonic beasts and can fully ensure the safety of the merchants, and if they want to get out of the Giffin Forest, they can only have this choice.
From Karl's mouth, Hall learned that Desai was indeed the head of the village.
However, when the three of them got into the snail cart and started to move forward, they didn't see Desai come to see them off.
They made their way through the village gates, heading out into the world outside the Giffen Forest.
When they were far away, the shadow of Desai appeared on the thick branches of a towering tree at the entrance of the village.
At this time, his face was completely devoid of his previous honesty and kindness, but a little more wise and shrewd.
Desai shook the transparent gel in a glass bottle in his hand and said, "What a stupid child, how can it be possible to secrete magic energy gel when eating pumpkins? It seems that I have deceived you with these two experiments. Master of the Wings of Light, make good use of it. That's all I can help you with, and you'll have to see your own creation in the future, so be sure to surprise me. ”
At this time, Hall, who was sitting on the recliner in the snail car, suddenly sneezed and muttered to himself, "Why does it seem that someone is talking about me." ”
Seventh-level Demonic Beast giant snails, their abdomen has evolved into two fleshy ridges, located on both sides of their bodies. These edges are very tough, generating great momentum when they take turns, and their softness allows them to overcome almost any terrain obstacles.
In fact, there is no road for snails to pass through in the Giffen Forest, on the contrary, there are intertwined roots and a lot of muddy and rotten leaves that will emerge when pressed.
However, the giant snail is able to walk in such terrain without causing any bumps.
This alone made the three of Hall stunned.
While sipping tea, the three of them looked out the window at the extremely ancient primeval forest scenery, and secretly sighed at the magic of the Giffen forest.
From time to time, there will be some magical beasts on the road, basically all of them are high-level magical beasts that exceed the fifth level, such as colorful large-mouthed carnivorous birds, heavy metal giant beetles, dune monsters, etc., but as soon as they saw the snail cart coming, although they were all eyeing the humans inside, they had no intention of pounce. Carl, who was driving outside, didn't seem to take these dangerous monsters into his eyes, and seemed very calm.
Where had the three people in the car seen this kind of formation, and a single fifth-level wolf king almost killed Hall and Shakira, not to mention so many sixth-level or even seventh-level demonic beasts in front of them.
Hall looked at the illustrated book carefully, and basically exclaimed every time he saw a new demonic beast.
In this way, the iron man dragged the three of them at a very fast speed, crossing a total of more than a hundred miles of forest danger in three hours, and finally rushed out from the other end.
In front of me, there is a vast and boundless snow-covered grassland, the weather is not clear, and the lead-gray cumulus clouds are slowly fluttering in the high sky, and there is no meaning of snowfall.
The wind whistled across the grassland, and the yellow dead grass that emerged under the mottled snow swayed in the wind, and some even sprouted new green shoots.
Hall could see that winter was coming to an end, and that a lot of life was about to move under the snow, and he seemed to feel the whispers of these lives.
Although the wind was strong, it no longer seemed to stab the face like a knife. Hall stretched and looked back, the Giffen Mountains towered into the sky, covered in a green carpet of hardy plants, still so mysterious and deep.
The towering castles of Cangyi Academy, one gray and one black, had long been blocked by the mountains, and there was no shadow in sight.
Hall felt as if it was only at this moment that the real world of magic was slowly unfolding towards him.
Kyle accomplishes his mission and says goodbye to the three of Hall, before disappearing into the depths of the forest in the tough guy.
The three of them stood on this vast grassland, although their spirits were very high, but they didn't know how to get out of this uninhabited grassland for a while.
Hall took out the compass and looked at it, felt the air pressure around him, and said to the other two: "Big brother, little sister, the wind is very weak today, it seems that the Wind Fairy cannot be used, and because there are three people, they can't ride the chocobo, so only."
I was able to walk. ”
Wolf nodded, stretched his muscles, and said, "You don't need to go by yourself, big brother and I have all the strength, you two just need to sit on my arms, and I'll take you away." ”
Hall was afraid that Wolf would be tired, and no matter how tall he was, he was more than one and a half meters tall (1 meter equals 1 meter), and weighed nearly seventy pounds (70 pounds), so Wolf would definitely have a hard time carrying the two.
But before Hall could say no, Wolf had already used both hands, and both of them lifted them up and placed them on their shoulders.
Wolfe is more than three feet (3 meters) tall, extremely burly, and looks like a giant ape, carrying the two of them like flying.
It caused Shakira to burst into laughter.
