Chapter 254: Forest in the Rain
Lin Yu held the illustrated book, and at the first glance when he opened it, he saw that there was a strong spirit beast in it, at first glance, it was shaped like a human, with arms and legs, and walked upright, but after a closer look, it was found that this spirit beast had four arms, muscles bulging all over the body, and two pairs of horns on its head, similar to a monster.
"This is the four-armed Pangli Beast, a special beast species that can only be found on the Pale Heights." Song Ce explained to him.
"What about natural abilities?"
"As you can see, it is extremely powerful, and because it belongs to the earth and rock system spirit beast, its body is extremely tough, and it is invulnerable to water and soil. Your little fire horse, although it is very powerful, but if you encounter it, you will have a natural spiritual fire, and I am afraid that it will not be effective. ”
Lin Yu put down the illustrated book and returned it back.
"I probably know that the other side, listening to the name, is also somewhat similar to it."
"Indeed, that giant rock python inhabits the Star Iron Canyon, which is the place with the highest amount of Star Iron Ore on the Cangfeng Plain. Cangyue City originally planned to build a mine in that area for mining, but later due to the large number of spirit beasts active in the area, it had to be forced to cancel. However, at the junction of these two places, there is a shelter of our own, and this shelter is currently the strongest shelter in the Cangfeng Plain. ”
"Then we're going to go to this shelter, right?"
Song Ce nodded and continued.
"We're half a day away from the shelter now, and if it goes well, we can get there before dark, but if it doesn't, we'll have to wait until tomorrow!"
"Whether it goes well or not, I'm afraid it depends on those two boss-level spirit beasts! I see, thanks for the reminder! ”
"That's as it should be, because we're all partners now!"
Song Ce smiled at him kindly, stretched out a hand, patted Lin Yu lightly on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
The group did not stay where they were for long, and after a little repair, they continued their journey.
And when they were about to reach the pale heights, a heavy rain poured down without warning.
The rain was pouring down, making it difficult to walk.
On the way to the Pale Heights, we had to cross a river, and because of the heavy rain, the water in the sea rose and the bridge was flooded, which made it impossible for people to continue to pass.
The beast masters who had gone to inquire about the news came back and told them the sad news.
In desperation, everyone had to take shelter from the rain in the nearby forest.
When the heavy rain came, people's bodies were unobstructed, so that now, they are all drenched in soup.
Lin Yu and the three of them were no better, they were wet, they twisted their hands, they were full of splashes, their clothes were wet and cold, they were attached to their bodies, and they were blown by the wind of Chuanlin, and they were uncomfortable.
"Look at this rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, let's just find a place around here to avoid it, and wait until tonight, and then make plans!"
Song Ce, as the leader of the collection team, naturally obeyed his request.
Fortunately, the forest they came to was deep and dense, surrounded by lush trees, which were shaded by branches and leaves, and it was difficult for rainwater to penetrate completely, and there were many large trees among them, and there were always a few areas that were drier and suitable for people to take shelter from the rain.
When they settled down and the fire was raised, the feeling of warmth instantly spread throughout the body.
People sat around the campfire in groups of two or three, baking their bodies and wet clothes, while others stood around and stood on guard.
The heavy rain continued for a long time, and when the rain slowly stopped, there was a humid air in the forest where they were.
"You wait here, let's go to the river first, if the river is good, we can set off in time, but if the river is already overflowing, then we will decide to spend the night here!"
Song Ce gave an order to the people, and then took one or two more clever guys to the river to inquire about the situation.
The rest of the people started to clean up the fallen leaves around them and remove them, because the bonfires they lit would easily ignite them.
A few other guys took out the hides from their backpacks and laid them underneath them, and they sat on them to trim them.
"It's wet outside the woods, but it's warm here! It's so comfortable! ”
"Be careful, don't get cold, or you'll have to suffer from it."
The ground in the woods also began to become moist after the rain, and the ground began to warm up in the thick accumulation of fallen leaves.
Lin Yu knew that this was a phenomenon unique to the forest, where fallen leaves accumulated, and the leaves at the bottom would gradually decay and then release heat.
At this time, all you need is a leather blanket that can keep out moisture, and you can lie on it and rest.
If you lie directly on these fallen leaves, it won't be long before some acne will develop on people's bodies, and the joints will be itchy and painful, and it will be accompanied by a variety of diseases.
It is dangerous to rest in such a place without good protection.
When Song Ce and the two people who went to investigate came back together, Lin Yu knew that tonight, they would have to stay here for the night.
"The water in the river is still very large, and I have seen the mountains in the west, there are still some cumulonimbus clouds, I am afraid that in the second half of the night, there will be rain, so let's spend the night here tonight! Everyone, get up and get around here, find something to eat, or you'll be hungry at night! ”
As Lin Yu expected, they were really going to be trapped in this forest and couldn't move forward.
But there is no way, no one can predict it, this heavy rain is coming.
People began to look for food, Lin Yu did not hurry to leave, but looked at the ant queen on the side.
"Are there any ants around here? Ants can tell better than humans where there is food. ”
"Master, wait a minute, let me investigate."
The queen nodded in response, then turned her back and placed her palms on the ground.
After a while, she withdrew her palm and shook her head.
"It's very strange in this area, there aren't many ants, it should be the heavy rain just now, blocking the connection between me and the ant colony, only after the rain has completely stopped and the ground is dry, I can command the ant colony."
Lin Yu nodded in understanding, compared to the wind and rain, ants know better than people, they are powerful.
In this kind of weather, these little things must not be able to support it, and they have long begun to look for a place to shelter from the rain.
"Then we will find food ourselves, and there will be a lot of fresh food in the forest after the rain. Be careful, there will always be. ”
The place where they are located is a broad-leaved forest, and among the trees, it is common to see some of the low shrubs that live in it, and the vines that climb with it.
"Berries and some wild herbs can be used, but be careful, some of them are poisonous. Then there are mushrooms, and many mushrooms grow in the forest after the rain, which are quite delicious food, but you have to be more careful with those things! ”
Lin Yu took the two of them around the forest, and along the way, he was also explaining the knowledge about the forest to the two.
And some of these were learned by him when he was in the Udin.
