Chapter 101: The Mysterious Great Druid
The two swordsmen made a simple stretcher to carry the Odyssey, and learned about the Odyssey in an attempt to defuse the hostility of the crowd towards Trunks. It's a pity that although everyone didn't continue to shout to kill Trunks, no one gave him a good look.
Trunks himself was very open to everyone's hostility, and Han Shuo even felt that he didn't care at all. Surprised, Han Shuo asked Trunks, who only replied very indifferently: "If it weren't for your miraculous discovery of my traces, none of them would have thought of leaving alive." I don't care about people who don't pose a threat to me. ”
After getting along with Trunks, Han Shuo understood some of the rules in the depths of the dark forest through Trunks. In the depths of the dark forest, everything depends on the strength of the individual, everything else is secondary, and indecision and kindness are signs of weakness, which often make people die.
For three days, everyone continued to explore deeper according to Trunks' guidance. Odyssey's injuries have been brought under control for three days, and the wounds are slowly starting to scar, but there are still some obstacles to movement.
After Trunks' ** trauma was treated, he also got better quickly, but because of Han Shuo's stabbing of the Demon Blade, his hands and feet still seemed a little not neat, but his originally pale face regained its ruddyness.
At noon, when they came to a waterhole, they found a big tree and put the odyssey down, and then they planned to go to the waterhole to get some water to drink.
However, without waiting for everyone to act, Trunks, who was staying with Han Shuo, suddenly frowned, and said to Han Shuo: "Let them be careful, you see that the waterhole is full of some seaweed, these seaweed rhizomes have sharp thorns, once they detect the approach of humans and beasts, they will pull people into the waterhole, and a bad one can take their surnames." ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Shuo hurriedly shouted, "Gordon, you stand there and don't move." ”
"If you have torches in your hands, the scorching heat will make the seaweed dare not move. Seeing Han Shuo staring at him, Trunks lightly proposed a solution.
"Thank you!" Han Shuo whispered, then walked over to Gordon and the others, explaining to them the dangers of seaweed, and telling them to get their torches infected.
When they started to act according to Han Shuo's orders, a primordial demon who was on guard in the distance suddenly noticed the movement of the manticore. Han Shuo was startled, quickly came to Trunks' side, and said, "Your manticore is nearby. ”
Nodding, Trunks looked at Han Shuo in surprise and said, "You can really detect the movement around you, yes, I chose to take this path, just because this is the place where I told the manticore to stay, and I have a smell on my body that only it can smell, and I think it will find me soon." ”
"I see, I hope you can let the manticore settle down a little. Han Shuo understood that Trunks' reputation for keeping his promises had always been good, but he wasn't afraid of what tricks he would do, but the Manticore, as a first-level demonic beast with infinite strength, could distinguish the enemy, and if it attacked itself and the Odyssey as soon as it appeared, it would be a bit troublesome.
"I know how to do it, I don't need you to remind me. Trunks leaned lazily against the tree, and suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud roar.
The manticore, which was hovering and approaching in the distance, quickly approached Trunks as soon as he heard Trunks' roar, and stood meekly in front of Trunks after ten seconds. Gordon and his party, who were fetching water in the waterhole in the distance, were all like great enemies when they saw the manticore's appearance, but they were relieved by Han Shuo's words.
At this moment, placed in the distance, one of the primordial demons who observed the manticore, suddenly saw a strange phenomenon. I saw a small green tree, the branches suddenly twisted strangely, those twisted branches twisted into several balls like twisted flowers, and suddenly strangely turned into human hands and feet.
Through this Yuan Demon, Han Shuo sensed the abnormality there, and immediately observed it in surprise. The writhing branches tangle and tangle, and at last he becomes a strange man dressed in bark, with a green beard, somewhat similar to the appearance of a forest troll, but with pointed ears, and a little like an elf.
When Han Shuo was puzzled, the strange man discerned the direction and walked towards the place where the manticore had just walked, muttering in his mouth, "If the manticore is here, then Trunks must be nearby." ”
Han Shuo was taken aback, stared at Trunks and said, "There is a strange man who seems to have his eyes on the Manticore, he has just been transformed from a tree, and now he is approaching this way along the route that the Manticore has taken, he seems to know you." ”
As soon as Han Shuo's words fell, Trunks' lazy expression swept away, he stood up straight, and then jumped directly on the back of the manticore, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the Great Druid Casbye, as the Great Druid Casbye, he has the ability to transform into a tree and a giant bear, and he can also communicate with trees, my current strength is not able to meet him for the time being, we have to leave here immediately." ”
"It's too late, he's already here. Han Shuo frowned and suddenly spoke.
Originally, Han Shuo had planned to ask Trunks before deciding whether to leave or hold on, but he didn't expect that Grand Druid Caspian to move so fast. At the same time as Trunks spoke, Caspian jumped up on a branch, the soft branch seemed to have a spiritual surname, and after a sudden flick, he threw Caspian directly here.
As soon as Han Shuo's words fell, Caspian had already landed directly in front of Trunks, he looked at Trunks and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, good friend, what you owe me, shouldn't you give it back to me." ”
Trunks, who was riding on the manticore, ignored Caspian and tried to get out of here as soon as the manticore leaped.
The smile on his face did not change, and Caspen suddenly whispered a string of ancient and desolate spells from his mouth, and saw the direction in which the manticore jumped, all the shrubs, trees, flowers and plants, as if they had suddenly come to life, as if they had turned into countless hands, large and small, entangled towards the manticore and Trunks.
Directly in front of Trunks' escape, the branches of a large tree tangled into a net, blocking his path. The bushes churned like waves, and in a moment they surrounded the manticore and Trunks. The rioting Manticore tries to destroy everything around it, but is stopped by Trunks.
"Old friend, I can feel that you are injured, this time you did not resist means that you are not sure to leave me, it seems that your injuries are not light, give me the Shenmu Scepter, I can help you heal your injuries, isn't it good?" Casbin looked at Trunks who stopped in the distance, smiled and spoke.
Han Shuo and the others looked at the dispute between Trunks and Casbye, and did not intervene, it seemed that Trunks seemed to have taken Casbye's things, and now it was just Casbin coming over to ask for it back. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Trunks belonged to the side that was at fault, so Han Shuo didn't intervene either, just watched coldly as a bystander.
"I'm wounded, you're not going to rob me at this time, are you?" said Trunks, surrounded by bushes, spreading his hands toward Caspen.
Caspian was silent for a moment, then stared at Trunks and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Shenmu Scepter was snatched by you when I was injured, and I don't mind learning from you if necessary!"
"Okay, this is your Shenmu Scepter, I've been studying it for three months, and I haven't found anything strange, so I'll give it back to you. Pouting and smiling bitterly, Trunks took out a delicate scepter that seemed to be made from the roots of an old tree from the spatial ring, and threw it at Caspian far away.
The branch of a big tree suddenly stretched out, magically wrapped this Shenmu Scepter, and sent it to the hands of the Grand Druid Kesbin, after Kesbin held the Shenmu Scepter, he immediately filled with a vibrant breath from the Shenmu Scepter, and the surrounding bushes rustled, as if they were cheering softly.
A small vial the size of a thumb was thrown to Trunks by Casbye, and after Trunks caught it, Casbin said lightly: "The flower essence in the bottle is very good for your injury, don't hit my idea in the future." ”
Trunks poured the flowers down and shrugged at Caspian, not promising him anything. Looking at his appearance, it seems that there is a motive for thinking about what is in Casper.
"Your Excellency the Great Druid, could you please help my friend with his treatment. At this time, the elven archer Nya suddenly walked up to Caspian and said very sincerely.
Casbin looked at Nia with a smile, nodded and said in harmony, "Lovely boy, I can't refuse your request. ”
Both druids and elves are followers of the goddess of nature, and only some of the most devout devotees of the goddess of nature are eligible to become a druid. This druid with pointed ears and obvious transformation from an elf, no wonder he did not hesitate to agree when he heard Nia's request.
Grand Druid Caspian walked up to Odyssey on the stretcher, glanced at Odyssey's wound, and couldn't help frowning, and then Caspian recited a spell, dropping three drops of green liquid into Odyssey's chest wound, and then said apologetically to Nia: "Your friend is seriously injured, my natural blessing and three drops of vitality water will speed up the recovery of his wound, and he will not worry about any bacteria." However, after his injury is healed, he can't do strenuous exercise, otherwise he may get dizzy or even pass out directly, I can't do anything about this, I'm really sorry!"
"Thank you, merciful Caspian. Nya thanked her, then said, "Trunks said that the blood of the gorgons can help Odyssey recover completely, and we will find the gorgons." ”
After glancing at Trunks in surprise, Caspian said to Nia, "He's right, the place where the Monster Crystal Nucleus wrapped in the Gorgon's brain has some magical blue blood, and these blood can indeed help him fully recover. But this old friend of mine is not a helpful guy, how could he tell you this?"
"You also took the Shenmu Scepter, and you have also healed people, I think you have been chasing me for a few months, should you return to the Nature God Cult as soon as possible!" Trunks glared at Casbin and said with some displeasure.
Smiling and nodding, Caspian explained to Nia, "Looks like my old friend is angry, hehe, he's not as bad as you think, and if he's willing to help you, there's a good chance you'll get the gourgon's blood." I'm sorry I can't stay with you anymore. ”
"You're so polite. Nia looked a little flattered and quickly said sincerely.
Caspian glanced at Trunks from afar, then left with a smile and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Let's go, let's continue on our way, we'll be there in two days. After Caspian left, Trunks snorted slightly with a cold face, and then urged everyone to continue on their way.
Led by Casper, the group encountered no danger here, and two days later came to a foul-smelling swamp. Around the swamp, some huge piranha flowers attacked Han Shuo and the others one after another, but fortunately, with Trunks' reminder in advance, everyone gathered together to resist the attacks of those piranha flowers.
"A sludge field in the middle of this vast swamp is said to contain the Dagmar fruit you need, including a gorgon lurking inside, and we have reached our destination. Trunks said, gesturing to the wide swamp ahead.
