……

There is no doubt that Matthew chose to remain affable.

This is the benefit of high affinity with nature, and it is possible to have an intimate and romantic encounter with the local nature spirit wherever you go.

The Spirit of the Rainforest is also the Spirit of Nature, and it does not have a separate individual and a will like Ella, but a collective will made up of trillions of creatures in the Rainforest.

If he succeeds in pleasing it, then Matthew's future path in the rainforest will be much easier.

It's just that the situation is not optimistic at the moment, Ella has told him that the soul of the rainforest is particularly violent and fierce, and Matthew himself can feel this, and it is not easy to get along with such a nature spirit.

Once confirmed, a light green progress bar appeared in front of his eyes.

The speed of communication is very slow.

It wasn't until Lao Ji led the duo to tonight's resting place, a cave house on a cliff outside the rainforest, that the thing barely grew to one percent.

"The soul of the rainforest is really not easy to deal with, it is very wary of outsiders, and according to the current progress, it is estimated that it will take at least a few dozen days to open its heart."

Matthew began to wonder if there was a way to speed up communication.

By this time, Luo Lan and Lao Jitou had already laid the ground, and the two began to argue about the vigil.

"Of course I'm here for the vigil! Young, vigorous, alert, and responsive, wasn't I the natural best person for the vigil? ”

"With me, no one can do evil!"

Luo Lan said with a big grin: "You two can have a good night's sleep first, especially you, Lao Jitou, you sleep a little more when you are old, and when you enter the rainforest, you still need to lead the way with vigor!" ”

Lao Jitou silently took out the dry tobacco, pounded it a few times, shook his head and said:

"I kept watch for the second half of the night, and Matthew kept watch for the first half of the night, and there was no negotiation. Once you're on the road, you have to listen to me. ”

"What about me?" Luo Lan seemed to feel that he was being despised and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Jitou, are you discriminating against bards!" I've got to play a role, right? ”

Lao Jitou thought for a long time, and finally held back a sentence:

"Why don't you play the flute for everyone!"

Who knew that Luo Lan readily agreed, and he took out a dark green flute like a trick, put it on his lips, and made a gesture to blow.

Lao Jitou hurriedly stopped:

"Stop! Playing the flute here, do you want to lure the bipedal wyvern or the gnoll tribe in the rainforest? ”

After speaking, he looked at Luo Lan's bewildered expression and sighed heavily:

"My bad, I shouldn't have joked with you. I'm sorry, but get some rest tonight. ”

Luo Lan sullenly turned the flute in his hand, as if there were a thousand words in his chest, but he didn't say it, and finally nodded silently.

After a while, Matthew found Lao Jitou and proposed:

"Old Jitou, you keep watch for the first half of the night, and my summon will be responsible for the safety of the second half of the night."

As he spoke, he pointed to the soldier next to him.

At this time, Ah Bing was wrapped under a huge cloak, this cloak was made of reeds, the breath was integrated with the rainforest, and the price was not expensive, Matthew found him in the market and bought it.

Lao Jitou wanted to refuse, but he looked at Ah Bing for a while, and suddenly changed his mind:

"Okay, but be careful and always be alert."

Matthew nodded and went to lay his sleeping bag on the side.

"Hey, Matthew, Lao Jitou obviously doesn't trust me, I have to prove it to him!"

Luo Lan, who was originally leaning against the stone wall, leaned over in a low voice:

"You know, when I was hunting the Sky Giants with the Cloud Elves in Cloud City, I didn't close my eyes for ten days and ten nights!

By the morning of the eleventh day, I was still in good spirits and had played a vital role in the battle to capture the Sky Giants!

I won't fall asleep tonight, no matter who you keep vigil to-night.

I'll show the old man what young people's energy is! ”

Seeing that he looked excited, Matthew asked quietly:

"Is this the first time you've been camping in the wild?"

Loren thought for a moment:

"Almost, there were at least luxury carriages before."

Matthew earnestly advised:

"Why don't you sleep for a while, wait until the second half of the night, when the big guys are the sleepiest and then wake up to play the energy of the young people?"

Loren yawned:

"You're right, Matthew, then I'll take a nap."

Early the next morning.

The glow of the morning sun shone on the cliffs and penetrated into the caverns.

Loren was woken up by the sound of birdsong, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes contentedly, checking his surroundings, only to find that Matthew and Lao Jitou had woken up and were fully dressed.

"Good night, huh?"

Lorain greeted them warmly:

"Apparently we were lucky, no one bothered us, well, I would have liked to wake up for the vigil, but the wind blew last night told me that everything was too peaceful and nothing happened, so I fell asleep again."

Matthew and Lao Jitou looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Luo Lan suddenly noticed that there were a few more wooden figures behind Matthew.

"Hey, Matthew, why are there four more skeletons around you? Yo, and the Skeleton Dog!? ”

Luo Lan asked curiously:

"Are they your summons, they're really chic!"

Matthew smiled, "Before last night, they weren't. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the data bar.

……

"Record: Your Minion, Soldier, killed a Plaguebringer (LV10), Plague Field Element: Fungus +1.

Your summon Soldier kills a Night Dog, and you gain XP+1.

Your summon Soldier is on a killing spree! Your speed of communicating with the soul of the rainforest has been increased!"

……

A dozen kills were recorded in front of Matthew, and the cold words silently showed the cruelty of last night's attack.

In fact, Matthew didn't wake up long before Lorain, because these enemies were all killed by Ah Bing near the cave house.

So he wasn't woken up either.

It is not difficult to see from the time recorded in the battle that except for the first two plague messengers who were killed by a sneak attack by A soldier, the rest were killed head-on by the sword dancers.

The whole process lasted only three minutes.

Soldier single-handedly wiped out an entire squad of Plaguebringers and Nightcrawlers!

The key thing is that the battle process was silent, and even the most alert Lao Jitou did not react, which shows the strength of the sword dancer.

And Matthew was even more pleasantly surprised.

After Soldier kills a wave of enemies, his communication speed with the Spirit of the Rainforest has increased dramatically!

"Is killing the shortcut to the Rainforest Spirit's favor?"

Matthew made a secret note.

At this time, Matthew was also pleased that Ah Bing had lived up to his training, and the level 15 sword dancer who had mastered the shadow realm was not only able to attack and kill, but also had no inferior frontal combat ability.

In most cases, the soldiers are already better than the bone dragon, and more importantly, cheaper!

As soon as he thought of the bone dragon, Matthew hated it so much, after the last war epidemic ended, Xiao Fei turned around and rubbed him with 3 soul crystals, and he didn't give him the ability to share!

It can't go on like this, Matthew decided to wait until he advanced, and then he would bring Ah Bing and Xiao Boiling to have a good talk.

Matthew's recent benefits in soul crystals are not high, and as one of the many younger brothers, Xiao Boiling should be able to understand the appropriate salary cut.

If Xiao Boiling can not understand.

I have to help him understand and understand.

"So, yesterday the Plague King's men attacked our camp and I don't know anything?"

At this time, Loraine stared at the innocent eyes and finally reacted.

Old Ji Tou completely ignored Lorain, he frowned alone for a while, and then said to Matthew:

"You provoked the Plague King? He's not a big guy, but he's alive for a reason, we have to get into the rainforest as soon as possible, and if you want to return to Zeshui City next time, you'd better disguise yourself and cover up your breath. ”

"Without further ado, let's go!"

……

The rainforest roads are muddy and not easy to walk.

This is still the periphery, and the group wears Jango straw sandals, and walks on the dirt road that is usually frequented by people, and they still stop and go, which shows how difficult it can be in the depths of the rainforest.

This is also the reason why Matthew chose to summon skeletons instead of zombies after discovering the corpses of the Plaguebringer and the Night Walker.

The skeleton is light, and it can barely keep up.

If you are a zombie, you may fall into a mud puddle while walking, and you are destined to be held back.

Lao Jitou is indeed an excellent guide.

Along the way, he sometimes walked at the forefront to distinguish the direction and guide the route, and sometimes ran to the back to deal with the traces of the group.

During this period, he would also take the time to introduce some common knowledge about the rainforest, and Matthew and Loren listened very carefully-

It can be seen that after experiencing last night's "vigil turmoil", the poet's exaggerated temperament has been restrained a lot, he hardly speaks much, and only nods obediently when Lao Jitou looks at him.

The journey was uneventful.

In the evening.

They arrived at a tribe of Jango called Yuka, on the outskirts of the rainforest.

According to Lao Jitou, the leader of the Yuka tribe married the daughter of a nobleman from Zeshui City, so they were relatively close to the outside world.

Within the Jango tribe, the Yuka tribe is undoubtedly moderate, even seen as a traitor by the extreme headhunter tribe.

Despite this, Matthew and Loren still don't get a chance to enter the tribal settlement with a rainforest atmosphere.

The Jango people are extremely defensive, and even if they are moderates, they don't allow outsiders to enter the city for the first time.

So Lao Jitou was the only one who was brought to the settlement by an indigenous enthusiast named Wuka.

Matthew and Loraine waited patiently under a huge banana tree outside the village.

Fortunately, Lao Jitou is very efficient.

In a quarter of an hour, he walked out of the settlement with several young and middle-aged natives.

After calling Matthew and Lorain, they headed east, about two miles, and there was a faint open water in front of them.

This is the Rodin River, which runs through half of the rainforest and is considered the mother river by many Jango people.

There was a wharf by the river, where some indigenous women were fetching water, doing laundry, and a few children were playing nearby.

Seeing outsiders coming, they all looked at Matthew and Loren with curious eyes.

At this moment, Loren suddenly had an idea, and took out some glass beads and a small comb from the snakeskin pocket.

He was very particular about the distribution method, first handing it to the young men, and then approaching the women and children under the permission of the old auspicious head.

……

"Hint: Your companion Loland has distributed gifts to the people of the Yuka tribe, and you have +1 friendship with the Yuka tribe."

……

Matthew was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would also be wiped out, feeling the slightly friendly eyes of those young adults, and looking at Luo Lan, who quickly mingled with a few children, Matthew said in his heart that the advantages of this rich brother are indeed very prominent.

However, he soon noticed that when Loren and the child were fighting, their eyes were always drifting towards the indigenous women, consciously or unconsciously.

This gave Matthew a secret headache.

Fortunately, Lao Jitou had been talking to the young men in the local language, and the latter had not noticed Luo Lan's presumptuous gaze from beginning to end.

Finally.

Lao Jitou came over and took away the reluctant Luo Lan:

"They said you looked like a good man, so you were willing to lend us a small cabin for hunting for the night, and I would have liked to keep going, but the Rodin River at night is not as safe as it is during the day."

So the three of them rested for another night in the river hut.

Early the next morning.

The young men came as promised, and they came to a bush outside the hut, and carried out four canoes of various sizes, and one by one they lowered them from the pier into the river.

These canoes were made by the Jango people by burning the hollow hearts of trees by fire, and because they rarely used ancient trees, they were of average width and could only accommodate one person to sit.

Matthew sat on one for each of the three, and the remaining large one was stacked with Ah Bing, four skeleton soldiers transformed from the Plaguebringer, and a few skeleton dogs.

It is also thanks to the light size of the skeleton, and the undead are also motionless under Matthew's orders, otherwise they will have to capsize!

The group said goodbye to the Yuka tribe and went straight down the Rodin River.

The first section of the Rodin's River has an open water, a good line of sight, and a sunny day, and the scenery along the way can be described as beautiful.

Matthew and Loren were both experiencing the rainforest for the first time in a canoe, and the latter was so poetic that he couldn't help but play the flute.

However, not long after.

After crossing a shallow shore with a gentle current.

The river began to narrow, a large number of white reeds appeared on both sides, and the river became turbulent.

The two did not dare to slack off, and according to Lao Jitou's instructions, they balanced the canoe one by one.

Since then, the speed has increased significantly.

The scenery on both sides of the strait receded as if flying.

Occasionally, a few vigilant-looking Jango can be seen in the reeds.

Overall, however, the voyage went smoothly, with the exception of one time when Loren accidentally overturned the boat to watch a reed-slick Jango woman, and the group arrived at the destination of the trip, the gravel beach, before nightfall.

According to Lao Jitou's introduction, the Rodin River has been diverted to the east, all the way to the endless ocean.

Close to the mouth of the sea is Naga's territory, and even the Jango people are reluctant to operate there.

They landed on the gravel beach, and the rest of the journey became a more strenuous walk.

It is worth mentioning.

There are a lot of alligators near the gravel beach.

These beasts were nervous, but Lao Jitou told the two of them that it didn't matter, just drag the canoe ashore.

And it is exactly what he said.

When they were close, several alligators were close to Matthew's feet, but they never attacked.

After going ashore, they dragged the canoe to the bushes next to it, and Lao Jitou made a few markings and told Matthew that someone from the Yuka tribe would come and collect it.

"Why don't these crocodiles attack us? They look hungry. ”

Lorraine asked curiously.

"It's just a lesson for thousands of years."

Lao Jitou said lightly:

"The Jango are brave and warlike, and the adventurers who can penetrate the rainforest are all talented, and these alligators are favored by the spirit of the rainforest, so they are very intelligent, and they know that the creatures that dare to attack humans are dead, so they choose to continue to live, even if they starve."

"Let's go, boys, there's still a long way to go."

After saying this, Lao Jitou pulled out the short knife inserted in his waist and chopped over a banana leaf that was in the way.

Ahead.

Fallen leaves are piled on top of humus with small insects.

A trail leading into the depths of the rainforest is faintly visible.

Matthew was just trying to keep up, but at this moment, there was a sudden throbbing in his heart.
