Chapter 779: Worms
The next day, the hunters got up very early and, under the pretext that they were in a hurry to return, politely declined Madder's invitation to breakfast.
It's not easy to find your way through the vast sea of trees, and if you're not familiar with the terrain, it's easy to get lost even if you have a map.
They have their own responsibilities and jobs, only the frog who is in the "growth period", is a rare idler in the woodland, so he volunteered to take over the work of leading the way.
As the whole person was wrapped in pupae, and soaked in a viscous accumulation like egg whites, the little girl spoke slurred, but she still couldn't stop talking, and grabbed the hunters and asked questions.
She does not hide her curiosity about the outside world.
The aborigines of Jukai do not have any ancestral precepts or regulations prohibiting going out, but most of them have stayed in this dark green ocean for the rest of their lives.
For them, the word "outside world" is like the moon, like the bottom of the sea.
Even if I occasionally have the curiosity and urge to "want to see it", I don't end up taking action.
But the frog doesn't seem to be the same.
I don't know if it's because she has been held in the pupa for too long, she is full of expectations and even obsessions for the concept of "outside".
In the past, she just wanted to complete the feather and break out of the shell, but now, she wants to go to the "outside" more far.
What does the sea look like? What do snow-capped mountains, deserts, big cities look like?
What is sausage, what is cheese, what is ice cream, what is cake and pudding, and will it really taste better than thunderworm?
She offered to lead the way as a guide, and a large part of the purpose was to solve the curiosity generated in yesterday's small talk.
But after most of the day, when she arrived at the camp with the hunters, the curiosity in her heart became even more, several times more, and it was almost the chrysalis that cracked.
Feng Ying was also curious.
She hadn't slept for two nights in a row, and the dark circles under her eyes were so thick that she felt like she had been punched twice, but that didn't stop her from discovering a new continent.
The chrysalis wrapped in the chrysalis had been touched by her from head to toe, and if Gordon hadn't brought her back, she would have even had the urge to lick it twice and taste it.
Frog didn't care, just as Gordon expected, two little girls of similar age formed a friendship at a shocking rate.
Feng Ying kept describing everything in the outside world to Grasshopper, and Butterfly listened very carefully, she hadn't been so happy for a long time since she started to pupate.
The only thing she regretted was that the hunters had no plans to stay in the camp for an extra day, and after the aircraft had completed a series of pre-flight preparations and checks, they were about to set off.
The Great Boom Dragon, the Moon Swift Dragon, the reappeared girl in ancient costumes, the purple unicorn, the awakened Fuyue Dragon, there are too many things to report to the guild, and Hilda does not plan to delay any longer.
Before the airship was about to take off, Anhill called the stupid frog who was standing alone at the gate of the camp, handed her a small leather bag, and then gave her paper and a pen.
"Can you write?"
"Whoa."
"You've never left the sea of trees, and it's not so easy to go to the outside world alone, so you have to record what I say next."
The whole person is a chrysalis, and the worm that can't even light his head shakes back and forth.
"First of all, how to go, there is a sea between Fenglong and the mainland, it is too difficult to cross the sea, and the airboat is the most convenient, waiting for you
Well, when you look like a person, you can come to this camp and wait, and occasionally a hunter will come to the sea of trees by airboat.
Discuss with them, take a free ride, you can give them 1000z as a reward, that is, the kind of paper in the purse, give ten, don't give more, if they want to exchange anything with you for more, don't agree casually, most likely they want to lie to you.
What are you doing in a daze, remember! ”
"Uh-huh!" Worm lowered her head and hurriedly wrote.
"It's best if the airboat goes straight to East Doruma, if not, you'll have to turn off the airboat.
As for how to turn it exactly. It's a bit complicated, anyway, when you arrive in town, ask about the Stirling Chamber of Commerce, find the door, there is a pocket watch in your bag, take it to the head of the local Chamber of Commerce, they will help you, and arrange room and board.
After arriving in Dondoruma, also go to the Stirling Chamber of Commerce, you should meet a woman named Jessica, who is my sister, and she will arrange the follow-up.
Still have questions? ”
"What is Gollum?"
Under the strange gaze of Gordon and the others, Anhill explained in detail the purpose of the money, and only after confirming that Worm remembered all this and that there were no other problems, he dusted her hands and let her go.
Worm carefully received the "travel guide" into a small leather bag containing money, and held the small leather bag in his arms.
It was a crack that tore open the chrysalis shell called "Sea of Trees".
The depression of being separated from his new friends was washed away, and the mood became extraordinarily bright, jumping and waving his hand to say goodbye to everyone.
This should be a cute scene, but it looks particularly weird under the appearance of the chrysalis people.
With a grunt of goodbye, the airboat slowly rose into the air.
When the camp was about the size of a plate, and the moths that were still waving in the camp were only the size of beans, the three of them huddled in front of Anhill in unison.
"Something is wrong with you." Gordon looked Anhill up and down, "Do you really like that kid?" ”
"You're a ghost, the worm is a year younger than me." Feng Ying glared angrily.
Hayata's eyes are also indescribably subtle, "Hertha she"
"Pervert! Perverted! Lolicon! Gail also joined in the fun from afar, and howled.
Anhill's face darkened, "What a mess, what kind of non-combustible garbage do you have in your heads?" ”
"Be reasonable, it's the first time I've seen you be so patient with anyone."
Gordon crossed his arms, "It's preparing for the journey, arranging the itinerary, and giving her a pocket watch that can represent her identity, so that she can borrow the convenience of the Stirling Chamber of Commerce, you really don't have anything else to think about?" ”
Anhill looked at her with a humble eye, "Aside from the rest, with her pupa appearance, could I possibly be interested in her?" ”
"Scumbags speak!" Feng Ying shouted.
Gordon choked.
Anhill's words were a bit direct, but they were also realistic.
You have to say that the two have been together for many years, and it is possible to be attracted by personality or something, but Anhill and Frog have only known each other for a day, and it is obviously impossible to be familiar to that extent.
In just one day, the contact is not frequent, and it is indeed not easy for people to like a guy who doesn't look like a human.
Hayatta was also persuaded by this reason, and she hesitated, "So you are for, to repay the favor?" ”
"Pretty much." Anhill nodded, "I was knocked unconscious by the impact of the Floating Dragon, and if it hadn't been for the Worm dragging me into her cave where she was basking in the moon, I am afraid I would have died in the belly of the Floating Dragon."
After Fu Yue Long left, she dragged me through the jungle in a coma and took me back to the woodland for healing, and it makes sense for me to repay this life-saving kindness, right? ”
"Well, that's true." Gordon scratched his chin.
Thinking about it this way, compared to Anhill's life, those travel expenses and arrangements even seem a little too light, Ansiel's parents and sisters know about this, and they don't know how to thank them.
Feng Ying slammed her mouth, losing the reason to condemn Anhil, which made her feel very regretful.
But her mind jumped fast, and she thought of something else, "Anyway, how long will it take for the worm to complete its feathering."
I don't know what she'll be like after breaking the chrysalis, she should be cute, right? Butterflies or something."
"It could be a beetle or a moth." Anhill replied casually.
"Shut up!"
Ps. Gordon's character and setting, it is impossible to have a Shura field plot, but Anhill maybe
