Chapter 7: Preparation
It was afternoon, and there were only a few patrons in the bar drinking and talking. Fast and Baucus came to the corner, put the menu in the most obvious place and waited silently. Fast looked around, the bar was old but clean, with heads of various animals hanging on the walls, as if to show off the owner's superb hunting skills. At this time, Fast took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Baus: "Look at it, Agra gave it to me, this is news about spiders." Baucus took the letter with a serious look in his eyes and read it carefully.
My friend Fast:
After you left, I contacted my zoologists and friends, and I had all the news about the Danjuer Forest recently, first of all, this giant spider did not live in the Danjuer Forest before, but suddenly appeared in the past few years. After collective discussion with the Animal Society, it was concluded that it was most likely a Dimon giant spider, and that, according to the available information, was huge in size and had a black and shiny back. Its ventral surface, with an hourglass-shaped shape, is stout and strong, jumping, and spews a strong neurotoxin that is not fatal but can make animals severely unconscious. It is very fertile, laying eggs every 25-30 days and up to 5,000 eggs in a lifetime. Each litter takes about 12-14 days to hatch. And when resources are scarce, they will eat their own kind to survive. This creature has an amazing bite and is very dangerous. The cadres of our association have encountered the hunting of this giant spider, and the information he provided is that the only fatal point of this giant spider is that there is a red dot in the middle of the face, which is closest to the brain, and if it can penetrate there, it can directly destroy its brain and cause instant death. So it's an uphill battle, and you have to be prepared to protect and face a bunch of baby spiders. And as a reminder, I heard that this giant spider is very afraid of bright light, and at the same time, after the strong light, it will completely anger them. So don't use fluorescent flashes as a last resort!! Don't flash fluorescently! Don't flash fluorescently! The important thing is to say three sides. I can only leave this news and my lizard to you. I hope you will use it well and complete the mission successfully.
Sincerely
Your friend Agra
Fast looked at the serious-looking Balks and asked, "What do you think?" Baucus said with a serious face: "The problem is serious...... She didn't mention me at all!!! Fast covered his face and cried and laughed. Baucus often utters unexpected words that leave people speechless.
Then the shopkeeper brought the dish and said, "You've got all the dishes, two large glasses of malt beer, two cheese breads, one fried mashed potatoes, and one vegetable salad." As he spoke, Baucus grabbed a handful of fried mashed potatoes and ate them, muttering as he ate, "Why aren't there fried lizards, the lizard legs are delicious." Is this fried mashed potatoes still quite delicious? You taste it. As he ate, Fafast said, "Okay, don't make a fuss." Now that we know the general situation of it, we need to bring a bewilderment potion to fight a large number of spiders and run away if necessary. And the antidote, because we don't know what poison is, so we need some antidote, what do you think? Baucus took a long sip of his beer and said, "It's best to bring a few sobering agents to avoid being poisoned and unconscious." Fast nodded and said, "Yes, indeed." "Then I'll carry 2 bottles of antidote and 1 bottle of brain sobering with me. 2 bottles of Confusion Potion, 1 bottle of Healing Potion. Bauces nodded and said, "I bring 1 bottle of antidote, 2 bottles of brain awakening, 1 bottle of confusion, and 2 bottles of healing potion." Fast and Box were eating and talking about their plans, when they suddenly heard two half-drunk people chatting at the next table: "You know that two people from the Ministry of Magic were attacked near the Forest of Danjure the other day. "yes, now that everyone is afraid to go over there, are those two people from the Ministry of Magic crazy?" "I heard that they were escorting things and passing by and were attacked." Then another person leaned over and asked, "How do you know it's from the Ministry of Magic?" Or not two unlucky ones? "Two unlucky people from the Ministry of Magic." "Hahaha, of course, no one wears that." "That day, I saw the Ministry of Magic people cleaning up the site, it was so miserable, many trees the size of pots had fallen, and the Ministry of Magic hastily cleaned up the scene as if they were afraid of something" That's it, Fast and Baucus listened to the group of people chatting while eating food. Before he knew it, and when it was dark, Fast looked out the window at the already dark sky, and then asked Bokes, "How much dry food do you bring?" "For almost five days, I put it in a convenience bag." Fast nodded and said, "The convenience tent is in my convenience bag." Once again, Balks and Fast confirmed their plans and went back to their rooms to pack up their belongings and gear. When everything is in order, I go to bed early.
Early the next morning, Fast and Bakus both changed into professional magical expedition suits, which were specially made for them by Agra, a tight-fitting gray robe, made of poisonhorn skin, cuffs and trouser legs are cinched to prevent poisonous insects from entering, a low-key long cloak to protect wizards from crazy animals, a multi-functional belt at the waist that can hang a wand, and six bottles of potions for the wearer to quickly use potions, and a carrying bag on the back.
After a while, Fast and Box got their gear and went downstairs to get ready to go. At this time, the shopkeeper was cleaning at the front desk, and when he saw the two of them dressed, he asked suspiciously: "Where are you two going to get up so early?" Before they could reply, the shopkeeper's eyes quickly swept over their dresses, and he said in surprise, "You won't go to Danjuer Forest, will you?" Fast said, "Well, let's not move our room, we can be back in 2 days," and the shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay." Looking at the figures of the two leaving, he shook his head and said silently: "It's crazy." At this time, the boss's daughter came out and asked, "Dad, who's crazy." The shopkeeper looked at his daughter and said kindly: "No one is crazy, Lu Lan, don't clean up the rooms of 208 and 209." Lu Lan nodded: "Oh." With that, he went back to the back kitchen.
Danjuer Forest is only 3 kilometers away from the town, and there is only one path to reach the forest, this path leads directly to other towns, the path passes directly through Danjuer Forest, originally this road is a stone road, but since the appearance of monsters in Danjuer Forest, many people passing by have died tragically, this road has been abandoned and has been full of mud.
Fast and Baucus walked down the trail for 40 minutes.
Fast looked at the muddy path in front of him and extended little by little to the depths of the forest with no end in sight, a black gas surrounded the entire forest and was creepy, the big trees beside the road were broken by the waist, and they lay helplessly on the ground, the huge potholes in the ground made people's hearts beat, and the scene hid traces of fighting. Fast touched his head and said to Bokes, "Do you feel it?" Baucus looked at the broken tree next to him and then looked at the sky: "Indeed, there is a strong aura of black magic. But......" Box said suspiciously, "a spider should not have such a strong aura of dark magic." Fast took some sand out of his backpack and said, "Traces appear." The sand flew up as if to form two figures, but suddenly the sand all flew apart, as if something was blocking the effect of the spell. Fast shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's go, what should come will come eventually." With that, Fast and Baucus entered the Danjure Forest.
