Chapter 41: The Winterless Forest
In the evening, Zhu Ba bit the two spatial belts and returned to the hotel where the envoys of Deep Water City lived, and easily jumped into Savina's room through the window.
Savina had just finished taking a shower, and sat on the edge of the bed with her wet hair, when she heard the noise, and she turned her head lazily, and the light was shining.
"Oh!no! I didn't expect Shavina to have such a bewitching moment. ”
Zhu Ba only felt a stream of hot air rushing to his lower abdomen, fortunately, the human form has long been over now, otherwise it will be exposed.
Throwing the two spatial belts onto Savina's bed, Zhu Ba walked up to her side gently.
"Shavina, you can use one of these two spatial belts, and you can tie the other one around my neck. ”
"Space belt, Efield, where did you get that?"
When Shavina heard that it was a space belt, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, you must know that a space belt is thousands of gold coins, and Shavina has accumulated less than a thousand gold coins after doing such a long task.
"A by-product of the last time I left you. ”
Zhu Ba shrugged his shoulders and brushed it off.
The tussle between the Waterdeep envoys and the Council of Neverwinter continues, but Savina's mission is complete, and she explains the dangers of trolls by example.
Walking out of the inn, Savina was guided by her attendants and found the Adventurers' Guild in Neverwinter. She was fully armed, with a Flame Burst Bow, woodland leather armor, a spatial belt, and the toxin dagger obtained from the last troll mission, ready to show her skills in Neverwinter, and Zhu Ba followed Shavina's side in a low-key manner, and the spatial belt had become his collar.
"Investigate the Neverwinter Forest, hunt the trolls in the Neverwinter Forest, and take these two missions first. ”
Now Shavina is not afraid of any quest with trolls, and this time she has been assigned a mission about the Neverwinter Forest, which happens to be completed together.
"Shavina, the squire said you are here, come back with me, the envoys and the council are looking for you!"
Just as Shavina finished her mission and was about to leave the Adventurers' Guild, Martin hurried in.
With business on the sidelines, Savina had no choice but to rush back to the inn and wait for a summons from the Council of Neverwinter.
However, Sha Weina can't do the task, it doesn't mean that Zhu Ba can't do it, he has already understood the content of the task.
"Shavina, I'll help you with the next task first. ”
Zhu Ba said in Shavina's heart.
"Well, safety first, Efield. ”
Sha Weina knew Zhu Ba's strength, so she let Zhu Ba go out with confidence.
"Oh!ye!
Exiting the city from the east gate of Neverwinter, less than a thousand feet away is the edge of the Neverwinter Forest, Zhu Ba took a brisk catwalk, and bewitched into his home field.
Neverwinter is the second brightest pearl in the Northlands, but it is the Neverwinter River and the Neverwinter Forest that sustains this pearl.
Legend has it that the Winter Forest was an active volcano in ancient times, and it was the main living area of the fire elemental people in the main material plane, and thousands of years of crustal changes pushed this active volcano to the very edge of the world, and the cold caused the temperature to plummet, so the fire elemental people left.
However, although the fire elemental left, the volcano did not extinguish, it continued to boil, but it did not erupt anymore, so the cold snow water flowing through the winter forest was as warm as spring under the action of the volcano. Then, the forest grew more and more luxuriant, and the marginal settlements became larger, and the current pattern was formed.
No matter what the legend is, there is no doubt that the Neverwinter Forest is the lifeblood of the Neverwinter City, once there is a problem in the Neverwinter Forest, then the foundation of the Neverwinter City will immediately be shaken, and the prosperity of the Neverwinter City is like a bubble in the wind, and the green leaves of autumn are fleeting.
"Big brother, come and see, what a big footprint!"
Louis XIII was lying on the ground, and in front of him was a huge feline footprint, he turned his head, and said excitedly to Louis XII.
"This leopard is three feet tall, and its skin is worth a lot of money!"
"Then what are you waiting for, thirteen, fourteen, bring the good guys, catch up, and let us make a deal. ”
Louis XII wielded the dagger in his hand and drooled as he commanded his two younger brothers. The three of them skillfully shuttled through the Winterless Forest.
In a short time, the Louie trio had chased them to the heart of the Winterless Forest with their powerful tracking skills, and through the dense grass, the three of them found the beast that left its footprints, a giant bobcat three feet tall at the shoulder.
"Wojin bless, let us pick up a big ruby in the morning, and meet such a good prey in the afternoon!"
Louis XII licked his lips, the shoehorn's face shook slightly, the three brothers were in the same mind, Louis XIII had already taken out the short bow, clamped the arrow and began to aim.
In half a day, Zhu Ba had already crossed dozens of miles of jungle and began to gradually approach the heart of the Winterless Forest.
The terrain gradually became steeper and the vegetation began to change, and the center of the forest was a tall mountain range, the soil beneath was too dry compared to the rest of the world, and the vegetation was yellow, not like the normal change in terrain.
"There must be something hidden here?"
Zhu Ba looked at this mountain range, his mind turning rapidly, looking for the cause of this unnatural state. Suddenly, there was a subtle sound of string pulling in the forest, and Zhu Ba's ears turned, and he had already identified the direction.
"Whoosh-------
The arrow was shot, but it only hit Zhu Ba's shadow, Zhu Ba let out a low roar, and the frustration roared and scattered around, and then he pounced in the direction where the arrow came from.
There was not one person hidden in the bushes where the arrows were shot, but three people, but for Zhu Ba, there was not much difference, and with the wave of the claws, the limbs of the two thieves had been destroyed, and only the ranger who shot the arrow was intact.
"Say, why are you attacking me?"
Zhu Ba opened his mouth to show his silver fangs and asked loudly.
"Are you a druid?" said Juba's opening for a moment, and he quickly put away his weapon. "I'm sorry we thought you were a beast......"
was thought to be a druid, and Zhu Ba made a plan, and he looked even more angry. "Is that why you can attack wild animals?" "Needless to say, second. Louis XII, whose limbs had been crippled, struggled to his feet and threw out a blood ruby the size of an egg. "This gem is what our three brothers said they were buying for their lives, and we have planted it. ”
Zhu Ba slowly approached the three brothers, and when he passed by the ruby, his forelimb touched it, and the ruby had already entered Zhu Ba's spatial belt.
"Next time, be careful, not all beasts are beasts. ”
In a few vertical jumps, Zhu Ba had disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
Continuing to explore the core area of the Peerless Winter, in the distance, a huge roar suddenly sounded, and Zhu Ba immediately became alert and began to rush towards the place where the sound came from.
Zhu Ba quickly arrived at the scene, but there were only trees and corpses in front of him during the fight, this is a group of blood apes, a kind of territory consciousness is extremely strong, and at the same time live in groups and have a huge talent for beasts, usually the challenge level is 6, and it can reach 7 after being huge.
"There's only one enemy, and it's a humanoid with a huge, sharp weapon and some kind of fire ability. ”
Zhu Ba looked at the scene analysis, all the dead blood apes surrounded an irregular circle, and at the same time, the cause of death of each blood ape was a huge wound on the neck, and the wound was scorched black. On top of that, Zhu Ba found a series of inconspicuous footprints stretching towards the top of the mountain.
The young leaves of the plants inside the footprints have been dehydrated, while the plants outside the footprints are still verdant.
Zhu Ba raised his head and smelled the peculiar smell that had been masked under the thick smell of blood, a faint smell of sulfur.
Then combined the killing on the scene and the knowledge gained in the astral plane, he came to a conclusion.
