Chapter 369: Skeletons in the middle of the night
Lydia's efforts were seen by everyone, and they had all persuaded her - but even Ji Ran, who had always been good at talking to her, couldn't dispel Lydia's thoughts.
"I understand, Brother Ji Ran. I'm measured...... During this time, I feel that my progress is getting faster and faster, so I can't waste this precious time. ”
Lydia smiled at Ji Ran's persuasion, and that little face made Ji Ran feel a burst of pity.
"Lydia, you must know that you are my sister at all times, my most beloved sister. So you don't have to push yourself too much, just be what you are, and that's it! ”
Ji Ran's persuasion was ineffective in the end. But he started making small stoves for Lydia again...... Ji Ran couldn't convince her, so he tried his best to help her.
In fact, Ji Ran also has his own plans for this outing. That's right, he wanted to find honey above level five.
The scar on Erin's face had healed, and it was now at least half as small as it had been - but it was still very conspicuous, and it still stubbornly ruined Erin's near-perfect countenance.
Ji Ran believes that as long as he finds honey with better effect, he can make better honey-melting pearl soup for Erin, and he can make all the scars on Erin's face disappear!
Therefore, the spring season is the most suitable for bees to collect honey. They also passed through several forests on their way, including areas where flowers bloomed.
Gradually, the crowd left the area where the crowd lived and came back into the wilderness.
The wilderness of this world is much more terrifying than those in Ji Ran's original world. Ji Ran was also a person who had watched I didn't know how many episodes of Bei Ye before. I also have some knowledge of the various wildernesses around the world. But the wilderness of this world. Except for the characteristics of the wilderness of his original world. There are also many dangers that were impossible in the original world!
For example, powerful demonic beasts - not only those fifth- or sixth-level or higher demonic beasts, sometimes, a single mosquito can bring great danger to people - the viruses carried by those demonic beast mosquitoes are not easy to kill.
Moreover, if a swarm of mosquitoes flies in, it can really suck people dry in an instant - yes, not metaphorically, it is really sucking people dry.
Even if it's a strong man like Ji Ran and Rice. Caution is also needed in this regard - one negligence can cause them a lot of harm.
It doesn't have to hang up right away, but it's always quite a hassle. When you go to bed at night, you have to get something around your tent that will repel mosquitoes - otherwise, you won't wake up the next morning with more than just a few extra bags.
And not only mosquitoes, but also the plants of this world are full of various dangers. Perhaps a seemingly non-threatening weed in front of you has a sharp edge comparable to a sword—a mistake that will cut a hole in your body.
So. The wilderness of this world, if not for adventurers with a certain strength. Ordinary people will not come close if they are close.
Fortunately, everyone is now considered a veteran adventurer, and they all have a lot of experience. Although the path chosen now is one that most people have not taken, having Rice in front of them is enough to keep everyone away from most of the dangers.
"This snake is so small that if you don't look closely, it looks like an earthworm. But if you step on it, it will quickly burn a hole in your shoe and bite it - fortunately, our boots are not out of the snake's reach. ”
Les picked up a small snake the thickness of chopsticks with a wooden stick and threw it far away. This forest is not very big, but there are many such strange monsters.
The serpent is actually only level two, and anyone who dares to venture out can deal with it lightly - but only if you find it. Otherwise, it is necessary to have a pair of very thick and tough boots - this is not a problem for everyone, because everyone wears boots made of gold-rank rock lizard skin refined by Ji Ran.
The strength of these boots is enough to withstand the attacks of these demonic beasts.
So this shows the importance of adventurer's equipment - not every adventurer will have the patience to observe these things that they would not normally notice at all. After all, it would take too much energy, and there would be no gain - that kind of monster would hardly sell for much - not to mention that you wouldn't be able to get it out fresh.
With this equipment, everyone has little to no need to care about the interference of the ubiquitous mess. But Rice took the trouble to explain the essentials of the adventure to the others - all of which were useful and could not be countered by equipment. I don't know when, it will be sent out to play a vital role.
Ji Ran is also very serious about learning. Although he had read many books on geography, these small things were not destined to be recorded in those books—they were more like the experiences of adventurers themselves, passed down from generation to generation among adventurers.
And this experience, in a sense, is even more important than the knowledge in books.
Now they were walking in a jungle that had just grown green leaves—they had not yet entered the primeval forests of the cold zone, and the tall pines and cypresses and other hardy trees had not yet appeared in front of everyone.
This forest is also rich in products, such as newly emerging wild vegetables and mushrooms, some young shoots from books, and various magical beasts that run out to forage after hibernation......
Almost every day, Ji Ran can offer a big meal to everyone. It's just that the scope of this forest is still a little small, and there are no too powerful demonic beasts, so there are not too many reserve food.
One normal night, the crowd stopped in a sheltered place and set up camp to stay. As usual, Ji Ran once again made a pot of fragrant food - even if he was far away, he could smell the rich fragrance.
But almost all the animals that smell this fragrance salivate...... But few animals dared to look at where the scent came from, because there was a bonfire burning there.
Most of the animals in this forest are afraid of fire. Although some demonic beasts are not afraid, the aura of adventurers makes them dare not act rashly - sometimes, the instinct of demonic beasts is also very strong.
But just as everyone was about to start the meal, suddenly Les and Ji Ran's expressions froze at the same time. Erin, on the side, quickly grabbed the longbow beside her and pointed in one direction.
"Who is it? Come out! ”
Les stood up and shouted over there. Just now, he, Ji Ran and Erin felt movement over there almost at the same time!
That kind of movement was definitely not sent by the demonic beast, it must be a person...... Or human-like creatures!
After Les's words were shouted, the sound of Si Si Suo was heard behind several large trees over there, and then after a while, a figure walked out from behind a tree.
But when this figure appeared in the firelight, the faces of Ji Ran, Les and the others became solemn.
It wasn't a man, it was a skeleton!
The skeleton stood upright on the ground, its eyes shining green - well, not in the eyes, but in the sockets. The skeleton was wrapped in rags and had a rusty knife in his hand, and it looked like a low-level skeleton soldier.
"Is there a necromancer in the back? Or a powerful undead creature? Whoever it is, what exactly do you want to do? ”
Les was surprised, but he didn't panic. It's just a skeleton, and everyone here can easily break it into a pile of bones. Although the necromancer is very terrifying in the rumors, everyone is not unfamiliar with the necromancer - especially Ji Ran, who has a very good relationship with a necromancer.
It's almost impossible to scare them with a skeleton.
The skeleton soldier standing in front of everyone didn't speak—in fact, even such a low-level skeleton soldier. However, the faces of Ji Ran and the others still changed.
Because they all felt that there was not a large crowd around them that felt similar to this skeleton soldier!
A whole wave of skeletons! Ji Ran roughly calculated, there are hundreds of them!
This is not something that ordinary necromancers can do, they are facing at least a level five or six necromancer, or a powerful level six undead creature!
High-level undead creatures can command low-level undead, but their ability to command is definitely not as good as that of a necromancer. But powerful undead creatures are often difficult to deal with—unless, you have clergy like a priest of the Church of Light, a paladin, or something in your ranks.
But now, there is obviously no such character around Ji Ran.
Ji Ran wasn't very afraid of these skeleton soldiers - hundreds of skeleton soldiers were just skeleton soldiers, and he took out the Rising Sun Sword and swept it away. What he was thinking about now was what that necromancer was going to do!
A powerful necromancer is far superior to other magicians of the same level - this is an unwritten consensus in the wizarding world. Because even summoners who can summon all kinds of creatures cannot be compared to the undead creatures summoned by necromancers in terms of numbers - not to mention, undead creatures are not afraid of death or pain.
Ordinary skeletons don't have much combat power, but if this necromancer - or undead creature - has some powerful undead summons, then this battle may not be too easy.
One by one, the skeletons appeared in front of everyone. The white bones looked even more eerie in the dim moonlight, and the various weapons in the hands of the skeleton soldiers were even more cold and glistening - well, this is an exaggeration, most of those weapons were rusty, and even broken......
But even so, being surrounded by a group of hundreds of skeleton soldiers at night in the field is definitely not a pleasant thing.
But fortunately, on Ji Ran's side, only Lydia's body trembled a little, and she seemed to be a little scared - no way, she was still a girl after all, and she was still a young girl. The other girl, who looked younger than her, was now looking at the skeletons with wide eyes and curiosity.
Alice's nerves are obviously much thicker than Lydia's...... (To be continued......)
