Gail mounted his light crossbow, alert for dangers that might lurk in the shadows of the trees.

On the mossy rotten wood, a thunderbug is slowly scraping at the decaying matter.

"Gollum."

The worm swallowed his saliva, and saw that everyone else was busy and didn't have time to pay attention to himself, so he quietly grabbed the white and tender endurance thunder worm, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it "coo".

Hertha gently stroked the huge roots of the tree in front of her, which snaked like a mountain wall, and her eyes were filled with awe as if she had witnessed a god.

She felt like she understood why this place was called the "Ancient Tree Forest".

This kind of "ancient" is not necessarily only reflected in the year of existence, every grass and tree in the forest, a butterfly, and a mushroom all give people the feeling of being one.

These species have evolved together for countless years.

If the entire forest of ancient trees is described as an ancient person, everything that can be seen is her skin, her flesh, and her hair.

Just like the vines that are intertwined with each other to form bridges, they are not man-made, but can be natural plants, and the reason for their evolution and growth is inscrutable.

It seems that this land has its own consciousness and pulse, and a pair of invisible giant hands have shaped everything into this amazing appearance.

As if to see through the amazement and emotion in her heart, the dragon hunter said softly: "Keep watching, the longer you stay in the New World, the more you will be able to appreciate it."

This land is alive. ”

Giant trees in the western forest.

The alcohol trio was slowly moving forward to scout with the veteran scholar who specialized in orc studies.

The scholar didn't talk to them much, and his attention was almost entirely focused on Babaka.

"Oooh! I've been studying orcs in the New World, and I've almost forgotten what the Strangeface Clan looked like in the Old World! The orc scholar kept writing and drawing as he walked around Babaka.

"How do you say the Strange Face language of the Old World?" The old scholar muttered and recalled, "Baka chirps, huh?" ”

"Kababa."

"Baba Baba! "The old scholar said a lot, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

Babaka, who was always lively and noisy, stiffened and hid behind his master Maca.

Maca looked at the old fellow vigilantly, with a warning in her words, very polite, "What are you going to do?" I warn you, don't mess around! ”

Ted couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked Maka, "What did he say to Babaka?" ”

He first asked Babaka if he was an adult.

"Hmm"

He then asked Babaca if he was interested in 'mating' with the Odd-Faced tribe in the New World, saying that he had dealings with some Strange-Faced tribes, and was curious about whether there was reproductive isolation between the two sides.

It is also said that the strange faces of the New World should welcome it as a distant relative from the Old World, and that the birth of a hybrid can enrich the genes of the race. ”

"Uh-huh?!!"

Ted glared at the old scholar, "Old fellow, are you trying to make Babaka and the girls of the Strangeface Clan in the New World have a sexual relationship?!" ”

The experienced orc scholar corrected: "The mating relationship of the Strange Face Clan is not as chaotic as you think, to be precise, it is to open a harem. ”

Ted pondered for half a second and turned to Babaca, "Babaca, you have to face your heart, you actually want to go, right?"

It's just because of a moment of shyness that I chose to retreat.

But how can a man choose to back down at such a time! Stand up for Uncle Ben! ”

"Kababa" Babaka looked a little twisted.

"Get out!" Maca angrily kicked Ted hard, "Don't teach bad Babaka, go yourself!" ”

Ted grabbed Maca's hand and said seriously, "Uncle Ben is enough to have you." ”

Maca: "."

"Hey, I'm going to throw up." Osura, who was choked by Ted's disgusting words, hurriedly took a few steps back, "You guys are disgusting here, I'll go around and see if there are any traces of monsters." ”

There was also Maka, who was disgusted, punching and kicking Ted.

And Ted, who was dressed in heavy armor and didn't hurt at all, gave Babaka a thumbs up.

Babaka looked at Ted with reverence, and in his eyes, the sunlight shining through the cracks in the canopy on Ted's bald head was unusually bright.

Some distance away from Ted, Oshura tried to concentrate, looking for clues that might exist in the forest, but she couldn't stop lamenting in her heart.

It's more than thirty years old, shouldn't I find a partner, if I don't look for it, I really won't be able to find it

"Wait. What is that? Oshura narrowed her eyes, and her chaotic thoughts were suddenly forgotten by her.

As she set up her crossbow, she whistled to catch the attention of her companions.

Ted and the others got the signal, and immediately surrounded them and launched a defensive guard.

Oshura pointed to the heights.

In front of them, the trunk of the big tree was more than ten meters above the ground, and there were several white needle hairs.

Each one is the thickness of a finger and tens of centimeters long, and because of its high position, it is easy to ignore the past if you don't have a keen eye.

"Be on guard, I'll go up and have a look."

As she spoke, Maca shook her hand and wanted to release the insects, but it took a moment to remember that she and the insects of Ozura had temporarily contributed to the researchers of the Institute of Phytophytes for breeding experiments.

After all, Xiang insects are insects, and their lifespan is not a few years, and under normal circumstances, they have to go back to the hot land every one or two years to "replace".

But now that it is thousands of miles away from Yanhuo Village, don't think about replacing the insects, you can only hope that those scholars at the Institute of Plant Life can make a breakthrough.

As for the moment, make do with the projector.

Maca took a few steps back, jumped on the pole, and after a few strokes of force on the thick trunk, she was soon at the point where the needles were.

Wearing thick armor and not worrying about poison or anything, Maca pulled out a needle hair, then backsomered off the trunk of the tree, hung a branch with a projector rope, and slowed down to the ground.

Monroe walked over, looked at the needle hair, and said with great conviction, "It's the needle hair of the Flying Thunder Dragon, a toothed dragon monster that can glide and fly between the trees." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the guide insect cages on the hunters' waists, "Haven't you been asking, what are these guide worms for?"

I'd like to take this opportunity to show you how. ”

As he spoke, he took out the knife, cut a small piece from the needle, and put it in the insect guide cage around his waist.

The insects that shone like fireflies, but were much smaller than those in the fireflies, landed on the needle feathers.

After a few seconds, they flew out of their cages, flying in a certain direction while leaving a conspicuous path of light in the air.

"The insect cage can be used as a light, but its main role is to 'guide'."

The old scholar pressed the hat and explained, "If you find any traces of monsters, whether it is hair, feces, saliva, scales, or even dirt that you have stepped on.

Collect a little sample, put it in the guide insect cage, and the extremely sensitive guide insect will be able to lead you to find nearby traces, and just like that, you will soon find the location of the monster.

If you've encountered a monster many times and made the guide worm remember the smell of the monster, you don't even need to look for a trace sample, the guide worm can take you directly to find it.

Isn't it convenient? ”

Ted shook his head, "It's not as convenient as Fukugi Rabbit." ”

Seasoned orc scholar: "."

Ps. I'm afraid that readers will be confused, so I say that "a seasoned orc scholar" is the dragon race, and the orc race is the direction of its research, and it is the one who guides the mission of the king of the strange face clan in the game.
