Chapter 779 The Insect Envoy and the Wall
Before arriving at the aboriginal village, Gordon and the others made many exaggerated guesses.
For example, on a super giant tree hundreds of meters high, treehouses are carved out like castles. The huge tree canopy is full of fruits. The vines surrounding the giant tree have become stairs and roads. Hundreds of people living there do not look crowded. , a tree is a village.
For example, dozens of large trees are connected by complex trestles and vine ladders, forming a three-dimensional village like a spider web. Countless villagers hang on to the vines and swing around while climbing and jumping.
It was an area surrounded by giant trees. It was unexpectedly large. The specific area could not be confirmed for the time being.
A large number of shrubs, thorns and vines were artificially planted between these giant trees that had existed for countless years. The space between the trees was filled up, forming a natural city wall.
The plants used to fill the "city wall" are also very particular. Hunters only recognized a small part of them. They basically have insect repellent and poisonous properties, making mosquitoes and monsters reluctant to approach this area. .
The sharp-eyed Hilda also noticed that there were some dangerous creatures living deep in the bushes, such as ant nests and poisonous bee nests. She didn't know how the indigenous people controlled these poisons from entering the village. of.
The hunters walked around the "city wall", but could not find the entrance or exit, and did not dare to break in. In desperation, they had no choice but to shout a few times, hoping that someone would lead the way for them.
Soon, there was a rustle of movement in a large bush and vine not far from them.
Surprisingly large poisonous bees were flying in all directions, with poisonous stingers on their tails as long as a little finger. If a person was stung twice, he would probably die immediately without waiting for medical treatment.
Pandan, who usually wanted to pounce on bees and butterflies when she saw them, immediately hid far away.
A dark figure walked away from the swarm of bees and stepped out.
That man wore a bamboo hat and was equipped with
It was impossible to see what he was equipped with. Countless palm-sized arthropods, probably some kind of rat woman, crawled all over his body. Except for his head, there was no gap left. It looked like a wriggling black armor. (There are pictures in the paragraph, please click carefully)
As he walked, from time to time a few rat women would fall to the ground without being caught, and then immediately crawl back along his heels.
Looking at it made the hunters’ scalps numb.
They are used to seeing all kinds of messy little reptiles in the hunting ground, and they still find it difficult to accept it. If it were an ordinary person here, they would probably scream out on the spot.
The rat-woman-like man is holding a long staff in his hand. There is a lamp hanging on the top of the long staff, with some kind of special candle burning inside.
He waved his long staff lightly, and the poisonous bees slithered back into the bushes and disappeared.
After driving away the poisonous queen bee, the man came to the hunters.
The strange and pungent smell penetrated their noses, and they didn't know whether it came from the candle or the countless giant rat women.
Hilda stared blankly as if thinking about something, Gale looked around and was wary of the non-existent danger behind, and Hayata stood beside Gordon with a stiff smile, pushing him from behind.
ˆ Gordon: "."
The reptile-covered aborigines looked at him quietly, with a calm expression.
He has long been accustomed to other people's rejection and strange looks. When he was wearing insect armor, most of his friends in the same village were unwilling to approach him, let alone these outsiders.
Gordon had the courage to communicate with this person, but his eyes couldn't stop drifting to those wriggling reptiles, "Ah, what, cough, we are hunters from East Doruma"
After hearing Gordon briefly explain the reason, the insect wearing a bamboo hat said "hmm".
“Wait a moment, a little.”
With that said, he got back into the bushes.
Gordon and the others waited like this. Ten minutes passed, and when they began to wonder if they had been tricked, the insect envoy finally came back.
"come over."
The insect envoy waved to them, and following his movements, several more rat women fell to the ground.
The insect envoy took out a handful of unknown powder, spread it on his palm and blew on the bright candle on the long staff.
Flames of strange colors ignited, and a large cloud of pungent smoke enveloped the hunters. Gordon and the others coughed, and the Elu, who had a keen sense of smell, even covered their noses. They were about to choke to death.
“Okay, come with me.”
With that said, the insect envoy once again got into the bushes where countless poisonous bees were hidden. Gordon's eyes twitched, but he finally put on his helmet, locked the neck buckle, and followed.
Hayata Hilda is fine, but Gale is numb.
For the first time, she regretted her outfit. She should have worn more. For example, a full set of armored dragons was very suitable for this situation.
The hunters plucked up their courage and followed the insect messenger who led the way into the bushes.
The huge poisonous bees are like fruits, hanging motionless on the branches. You don't need to think about it. It's the work of the insect envoy and the choking smoke.
With professionals leading the way, it should be safe in theory, but it feels like dancing on a barrel of explosives with the safety pin unplugged.
What if?
Fortunately, the "what if" situation didn't happen. After walking through a ten-meter-wide bush belt full of poisonous bees, and squeezing in a thick and tough vine that went vertically down, they finally passed through the plant. Wall, go inside the wall.
“Is there only one entrance and exit here? It’s very troublesome to get in and out.” Gale muttered as he brushed off the broken leaves stuck to his body.
The insect envoy glanced at her and said, "This is a wall. It's difficult to get through. The door is easier."
“So why don’t we go through the door?”
"Far."
"All right."
Ignoring Gale's little complaint, Gordon and others looked at everything in front of them in surprise.
The real appearance of indigenous villages is much more "realistic" than their delusions.
A large area of open space has been opened up within the wall, and most of the houses are made of wood. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary villages.
But the scale is much larger than they imagined. There are even dedicated commercial streets and large three- or four-story buildings. It is more like a prosperous town than a village.
As Hilda said, they were isolated, but not primitive.
At this moment, a figure came quickly.
Pork Chop jumped up and cheered, "It's Ansil Meow!"
Seeing their missing companions, Gordon and others' hearts dropped completely, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.
Obviously we haven’t seen each other for more than ten hours, but it seems like it has been a long time.
Anhil rushed straight towards Gordon, thinking that the former wanted a hug. Gordon opened his arms, but Anhil was not directed at him at all.
The heavy crossbowman snatched the fierce moment [Shigure] on his shoulder.
Unfolding and folding, he checked the crossbow chamber with an empty pull of the trigger. After repeatedly confirming that there was no serious problem, Anhil breathed a long sigh of relief. He happily carried the precious heavy crossbow back behind his back, adjusted his armor again, and then greeted his companions briskly. call.
“You found me pretty quickly.”
Gordon, who had a dark face, lowered his arms, and Hayata secretly smiled.
At this time, Madder, who was suspected to be the local insect stick user of the Sea of Trees, and the girl Xue Xue wrapped in an insect chrysalis, also followed Ancil to the hunters.
Xu Xue’s weird, non-human appearance attracts people’s attention.
Gail couldn't help but blurt out, "What the **** is this?!"
