Chapter 36: No Hesitate
Only a few minutes passed.
Lindsey dragged the corpses of the remaining gray wolves back to the ground where the battle had broken out.
The four tree spirits trembled in place.
Red didn't care, and felt the spear thoughtfully, as if thinking about something very important.
“……”
Lindsay raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything more.
He briefly touched the corpse, these forest gray wolves have their own strength gaps, the strongest can have a third order, and the weakest is a little stronger than ordinary animals.
The material produced is mediocre, and even the number of achievement kills is still some way off.
It was the giant bear that he had killed in a sneak attack
Because it is a fifth-stage Warcraft, after touching the corpse, he contributed a special [Forest Giant Bear Skin] to Lindsay, and at the same time has a special synthesis formula.
[1 Forest Bear Skin + 6 Silk Threads = Sleeping Bear Cloak]
Lindsay's eyes lit up.
He had all these materials on hand, and it was a synthesis on the spot.
[Equipment: Cloak of Sleeping Bear]
[A cloak made of Forest Giant Bear's skin, which increases both strength and constitution when equipped; The wearer gains the special ability [Hibernation].
(Hibernation: Reduces the physiological metabolic rate of the wearer, and enters a special dormant state that does not require eating.) During this period, he maintained a low sensitivity to the outside world, and hibernate for a maximum of thirty-six months. )】
[A cloak with rare functions and a high value.] 】
"Hibernate ......"
Lindsay raised an eyebrow.
The skills that come with this piece of equipment are usually of little use.
However, in some special cases, it can have miraculous effects that are difficult to replace.
Lindsay immediately put the cloak on her body and looked at the attribute panel.
“……”
"It's worthy of being a product of the five-stage demonic beast."
Strength and physique have added two points each, and in the face of such data, Lindsay inevitably sighed.
At this time, he looked at the trembling tree spirits behind him, who were still red.
So he brought the tree spirit crown in the equipment slot, and Lindsey said to the red on the side:
"Red, why are they scared like this?"
Red turned his head slightly, and an innocent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"How do I know?"
"Obviously I was rescued, and I'm quite honest. I just told them not to talk casually, and they slowly became like that. ”
“……”
Lindsey unceremoniously rolled her eyes at Red.
He ignored the girl's shouts, came to these frightened tree spirits, and deliberately half-crouched down to meet the other party's eye level.
This friendly attitude also pays off.
Escaped from the life-and-death crisis, and was watched over by a powerful guy like Red for a few minutes, until Lindsay, an obviously talkative human, appeared.
One of the tree spirits was a little bolder, and then he asked tremblingly:
"Humans, I'm grateful for your help."
"If there's anything we can do, just say it, and we'll do our best!"
This guy is also smart enough to know that it would be useful for him to be left behind.
Lindsay nodded slightly, and replied in a frank and gentle tone:
"My companions and I are trying to cross this forest, and when we see you being hunted down, we will help."
"There's nothing you have to do now."
"But if you know, I'd like to tell us the details of this forest."
Lindsay's idea was simple.
The information given by the Mountain Stone Elementals was what they had seen and heard in the Starlight Forest a few years ago, and it may have expired now.
It would be nice to get the news from these guys who are here.
Hearing Lindsay's inquiry, several of the dryads glanced at each other.
For some reason, they all felt that they had a good impression of the human in front of them, and after whispering to each other, the tree spirit led by them took the initiative to speak:
"Human, my advice is to turn back immediately."
"The woods ahead are much more dangerous than the direction you came. If you go any deeper, you will only become nourishment for the forest. ”
Lindsey shook her head:
"We have reasons to have to go to the East, and it's too late to turn back."
As she spoke, Lindsay glanced at her map.
After he made his gesture of kindness, the attitude of the rescued dryads gradually changed from neutral yellow to friendly green.
Hearing Lindsay's statement, the dryad on the opposite side continued:
"If you're really going to the East, I'd suggest you take a detour."
"As you can see, we are being hunted down, and the most dangerous areas of the forest are ahead. Regardless of race or height, any living being can lose its life or essentia on which it depends. ”
A mad mother tree, a high-pressure rule, and a dragonhead's constant demand for essentia......
Shujing's answer undoubtedly confirmed what Lindsay knew.
He thought about it for a moment, and did not continue to force the dryads to insist on this issue, but decisively changed the subject:
"Then let's ask a different question."
"What will happen if I and my companions continue our journey east?"
This time, the dryad's expression was even more hesitant.
But Lindsay's good attitude, and that instinct to make them close relatives, eventually prevailed.
They whispered to each other, overturning the last loyalty in their hearts.
"Humans, ahead is the Valley of Thorns, where there are many of our compatriots."
"But unlike us who wanted to escape, they obeyed the Great Mother and fell into madness together. They will try to turn you into sustenance for the forest and take your lives! ”
Is there a choice to flee or a choice to obey?
Lindsay understood this, and then continued to ask:
"What about crossing the bottom of the valley of thorns and going east?"
The moment they heard this question, the four dryads began to tremble.
The thorny vines that make up their bodies even began to twitch and wrap around, making a dense and tense grinding sound.
A frightened voice rang out:
"There's the Banyan Grove, our mother."
"You may feel that you have the courage to try to cross the Valley of Thorns on your own. But please remember not to enter the banyan forest, it is better to follow the south, around the forest area, this is the only way you want to live past. ”
Habitat of the mother tree.
Lindsay immediately understood why, but also noticed a detail in her answer.
"Why do you want me to go around the south side?"
The tree spirit replied in a sad tone:
"Because the north also inhabits a dangerous existence. She was even able to command our mother, and she found it to be a dead end. ”
Well, now even the messenger of the dragon beast knows where.
Identifying the two most dangerous locations ahead, Lindsay was already quite satisfied with the outcome of the rescue.
However, he looked at the corpse of the giant bear that was trampled under the feet of Hong, and asked cautiously:
"I'm here to save you and kill this giant bear."
"Will your mother know about this at once?"
"There is death in the forest at any time." The dryant shook her head in denial, "If it had been decades ago, the sober mother would have noticed it immediately. But now, I'm afraid it will take dozens of days for her to start reacting. ”
Lindsey looked at the red on the side:
"Dozens of days should be enough time for us to get around."
The dryad kindly reminded:
"But you also have to be careful of being caught up by the pursuers you send out."
"Your strength may be strong, but the power in the Great Forest is endless!"
Hearing this, Hong smiled disdainfully:
"Huh-"
"Catch up, catch up, it's a big deal to fight for your life and see who is the final winner!"
The words landed, and Hong's palm holding the meteorite spear tightened.
She's ready to clean up the hidden dangers.
But at this moment, the girl saw Lindsay's fingers shake slightly.
"Tsk-"
The girl shook her head in dissatisfaction.
She didn't say anything, she didn't look at the four dryads, but the meteorite spear in her hand was still tightly gripped.
“……”
Lindsey kept her promise and didn't continue to embarrass the dryads.
After asking about the forest ahead, he let the guys go and let them run for their lives.
After a quarter of an hour, the two cleaned up the battlefield and continued on their way.
Hongcai looked at Lindsay with some confusion:
"Lindsay, why didn't you let me kill them just now?"
"What if these guys leak our news?"
Lindsey shook her head:
"They don't know what we're here for, so it's enough to drive out the pursuers."
After answering, Lindsay gave another example:
"And think about it, if we kill the Root Beard Elder on the other side of the canyon at the beginning, we won't be able to get this amulet of confusion in the future. When the time comes, it is easy to be detected in the forest, and then fall into a state of siege. ”
"Sometimes the right kindness is also a choice to help yourself through difficult times."
Red pursed his lips and slung the meteorite spear on his shoulder with a neat movement.
The girl didn't contradict Lindsay, because she knew it was true, but there was some inexplicable habit in her heart that made her feel very uncomfortable.
It wasn't until she thought of what she might encounter later that she asked again:
"Lindsay, if we encounter a situation, it is possible that the mother tree will be discovered......"
Lindsay directly interrupted Red's inquiry and gave a firm answer:
"Unnecessary killings must certainly be avoided."
"But if it comes to that critical juncture - Red, believe me, I will never hesitate!"
