Lindsey sat in the boat with a gray thorny thorn in her hand.

When killing the Mother Tree in the Black Mountain World, Lindsey collected a lot of [Hardwood Seeds], but she never had time to cultivate them during the journey.

In the previous two weeks in Nine Bay City, he had finally cultivated these seeds.

Although it is only the most basic magic seed, the strength of this thorn wood planted by [Hardwood Seed] is quite good.

In addition to being used as wood to craft a variety of equipment, there are two crafting items that Lindsay pays attention to.

【Arrow: Poison Thorn Arrow】

[Arrows made of thorn wood, after hitting the target, the toxin will bring unusually severe pain to people!] 】

[An arrow that affects the movement of its prey with severe pain, but does not kill it.] It is mostly used to catch prey alive and has a low value. 】

[Armor: Poison Thorn Wood Armor]

[Armor made of poisonous thorn wood is close to steel in strength, but there are differences in heat resistance and flexibility. Touching the stinger of the Poison Thorn Wood Armor will cause severe poisonogenic pain. This armor is less durable and cannot be repaired if damaged. 】

【Poisonous Plant Set - (1/7)】

[Armor with the effect of poisonous thorns, medium value.] 】

[Poison Thorn Arrow] was naturally made by Lindsay and collected for emergencies.

As for the [Poison Thorn Wood Armor].

This armor look quite hideous, with rings of poisonous stingers growing on gray wood.

If the wearer is not careful, he may even injure himself.

If it really came to the actual combat situation, the enemy would not be able to put his hand on the stinger in a daze when he saw such hideous armor.

But Lindsay's situation is different.

He's got equipment slots!

Using the equipment slot to activate the effect of [Poison Thorn Wood Armor], Lindsay's appearance will not change in any way, but the corresponding anti-injury stinger effect does exist, which can be called unguardable.

The only minor trouble.

It's just that this thing can't control the timing of activation, and it can't be equipped all the time on weekdays.

Otherwise, everyone rubs against others.

The other party had to wail and curl up and fall to the ground.

In the future, if you can complete the entire set, referring to the Angler equipment, there should also be a surprise.

“……”

"Mr. Lindsay, today's dinner!"

At this time, Vecner walked towards Lindsay with food in leaves.

It's been two weeks since the fleet left Nine Bay City.

Although it is a whole team, there is also a vague division of forces within it.

The Awakened are holding each other, vaguely forming small forces.

Ordinary people seek refuge from the strong and throw themselves into the hands of the awakened who they are optimistic about.

Lindsey because of identity issues.

Don't mix with these people and stay relatively independent.

And Wicner, a young man who was close to him, became an existence like his follower. In addition to the busy errands, he will also bring food to Lindsay regularly every day.

"Thank you."

Lin Racetrack thanked him.

Throw two copper coins at Vecner as errand fees.

He didn't want to reveal his skills, so he didn't cook himself, but just used the food from the ship.

Lindsey opens the emerald green leaves.

The forest garden is rich in products, and the fleet is walking on the river, so there is no food problem for a short time, but it is relatively monotonous.

Basically, it's grilled fish and the fruits of picking vegetables in the woods.

Lindsay learned how the locals would eat it, squeezing the juice onto the fish and trying to chew it twice. The sweet and sour juice relieves the fatty flesh of the river fish, and the taste is not bad.

While eating, Lindsay asked Vecner in front of her:

"Whackner, is there any news in the fleet today?"

"Like the secret forest and the like."

Hearing Lindsay's inquiry, Wichner looked at the man at the front of the fleet.

Explorer – Razor.

The team that departed from Jiuwan City was run by a variety of people.

The explorer was skilled in exploration and reconnaissance, and many things on the ship were handled by him, including navigation and food problems, which were also handled by Razor's companions.

More than ten days of getting along.

The expedition has always shown great mobility.

Vecner, who was often on the ship, immediately leaned over and said to Lindsay carefully:

"There's some news at noon today."

"We are the first fleet to leave the city, and many people have suddenly disappeared today, and I heard that it was the Warcraft that launched an attack on humans."

Lindsay opened the map, and there were many red and yellow dots around the river.

Whether or not the monsters of this world are hostile to humans depends mainly on whether they are hungry or not.

The information provided by maps alone is no longer accurate.

As Lindsey pondered whether to help the team, there was a hearty laugh.

"Yes, that's right!"

"The statue of Will I, the Great Explorer, stands in the town of the outpost. When this adventure is over, let's go to Montenegro, where there must be more secrets waiting for us! ”

The owner of the fleet, the explorer Razor, was ahead, chatting happily with his friends.

These are the few men who are not at all influenced by the skills of the organizers.

Because its own ability comes from expeditions, it can be said that it is satisfying to join the action of exploring the forest.

But looking at the high-spirited explorer, Lindsay frowned:

"Be careful......

Bang!

As soon as Lindsay spoke, a thick and long black shadow burst out of the water and crashed directly into the bow of the ship.

The crisis was imminent, and it came to me in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?"

The explorer, who was still laughing a second ago, kicked his companion who had no combat power away.

He himself drew the short knife at his waist, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards the danger in front of him.

Rushing out of the water was a python with a body length of more than ten meters and an essentia reaction.

Explorers rise to the challenge.

But he didn't show excessive skill and strength.

He just stepped forward with one foot, his body tilted slightly, and the dagger he had just drawn drew an arc in front of him along the raised posture.

Click-

With courage and just the right timing.

At the last moment, he dodged the attack of the python and cut off his head with a single sword.

The whole process is smooth, as if the shooting was arranged in advance.

“……”

Lindsay, who had just gotten up, sat back, and the support she had prepared was also taken back.

"The explorer who can organize a fleet of ships really has two brushes."

“……”

Soon, the bow of the ship was busy.

After the monster python was killed, the body was dragged onto the ship with a hook.

Before the corpse could be processed, a shocking scene appeared before people's eyes.

This monster python has a bulging belly, vaguely in the shape of a human!

"This animal is eating people?!"

Razor looked furious.

He slashed open the snake's belly, and mucus splattered from it, and a half-digested human corpse slipped out.

It landed on the ground with a thud.

The corpse also slipped a little due to the digestive juices, as if the deceased was struggling.

"This ......"

"Damn! Gross-"

The scene was so uncomfortable that some people even vomited on board.

This was the first victim of the adventure, and the explorer could accept it, but with a low expression.

Under a gloomy atmosphere.

Some are annoyed, some are nervous, and some regret leaving the city.

It was in this delicate atmosphere that Lindsay suddenly reminded:

"Snake creatures, they shouldn't attack other people for a long time after eating, this attack is not normal."

Whoa—

A dense sound of foliage flapping sounded in the forest.

The surrounding forests are windless and automatic, and the wild scenery like a quiet summer day a second ago suddenly becomes like a demon domain.

Not to mention the fact that right on the ship, there was a stripped snake belly, and a half-digested human corpse.

Someone said in a trembling voice:

"The forest, the forest mutation, has begun again?"
