Chapter 194: The Dancing Tree
"Whew~~~~" There was another huge tiger roar, the sound seemed to be much closer than before, and the girls each opened their mouths and took a deep breath, making their eardrums and hearts a little more comfortable. Just as the whistling was over www.biquge.info Catherine noticed that Pannis had suddenly raised her eyebrows, revealing a puzzled expression, and she herself heard a scream coming from the dense forest. The screams seemed to come from a long distance, and if Catherine hadn't been paying attention to Pannis's expression, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all, but now that she noticed, she frowned and asked, "What's that?"
"The three teams of spotted wolves that were relatively close to each other were all dead, a total of eight. "Their first target is not us but the poachers, and I don't know if that's good news or bad news, no one can say," Pannis said. ”
"They've killed so many spotted wolves, they should be enough to eat, will they come back to attack us again? Lina held the magic book in one hand, but did not hold the mace in the other, but hung empty at her side, ready to form a spell mark to release the magic spell: "But no one knows their size, maybe the eight wolves are not enough to eat." ”
"It's not them, it's it. Pannis shook his head, held up a finger and said, "There is only one fraudster, at least one who makes a sound." As we extrapolated from the last time we encountered fraudsters, eight spotted wolves were enough for one fraudster to eat for many days, but the key issue was not food. ”
"The key question is to see if it sees us as invaders?" Catherine asked rhetorically: "For Warcraft, if a special creature like us enters the territory, it will be vigilant no matter what, and it is normal to attack us indiscriminately, so I think we will definitely be attacked by it." ”
"You're right about Warcraft in general, but it's a fraudster. Pannis suddenly looked around for a moment, as if looking for something, but continued: "Fraudsters are very cunning creatures, and they will do everything they can to disguise themselves to deceive their prey. However, cunning creatures have one thing in common, that is, they are very suspicious, after all, people who are used to deceiving others will always be wary of being deceived by others. Therefore, if we are strong enough, it will choose to avoid it because of too many doubts, so that we can take the opportunity to rush through their territory, which is not too large anyway. ”
"Will they avoid?" Lina said in surprise, "I've never heard that a monster would avoid it in a battle for territory. ”
"It's just prolonging the fight, not giving up the fight altogether. "When it finds that the enemy is strong, it will often stop attacking for a while, follow the enemy from a distance, and strike a critical blow when the enemy is overlooking, which can last many, many days," Pannis explained. Of course, we will not stand where we are and wait for it, but keep moving towards the border area, and soon it will find out that we are only transiting, and it will not attack us again, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding. However, there is a premise for this, that is, we must make them really feel that we are powerful, otherwise they will not be afraid. ”
"What the hell are you looking for? I think you've been looking for a while. Noticing that Pannis was still looking around, Catherine frowned and asked, "Are you looking for something to deal with the fraudsters?"
"You know?" Vral glanced at Catherine in surprise, and only nodded after seeing the knight maiden with a confused expression, Her Majesty could confirm that five days had indeed made Catherine grow significantly, and her intentions could be associated with one of Pannis's actions, and Vral explained for Pannis: "We elves have an old proverb, which is translated into lingua franca, that no matter how powerful a magical beast is, there must be a presence near the lair that can be used to fight it. This is the experience that generations of elves have summed up with their lives over thousands of years. Just like the most poisonous red snake in the world, there must be white burr fruit that absorbs the best toxin in the place where it often moves, and there must be a large number of corrosion-resistant anvil grass in the place where the acid black-fronted worm that secretes high-intensity corrosive mucus is always on the surface of the body, and in the same way, in the territory of the fraudsters, there must be dancing trees that can fight against them. ”
"I've heard of the first two phenomena as well. Vivien was drawing some magic circles on the ground with her head down, and when she heard Vral's words, she looked up and said, " In fact, it is very easy to understand, if the thorn fruit wants to grow well, it must absorb a large number of toxins to make up for the lack of some substances in the body, and the white burr fruit is even more obvious, and the toxicity of the red silk snake causes even the plants to wither where they pass, except for the white burr fruit, after a long time, there will naturally be a large number of white burr fruits in their range of activity, as for the acid black frontal worm is also a similar reason, but, what is the dancing tree?
"A specialty of the Death Forest, there is no scientific name, we colloquially call them Dancing Trees. "They are very sensitive to sound, and when there is a loud noise around them, all their leaves will keep writhing as if they are dancing, so they are called dancing trees," Vral explains. If you are around them, the sound will be inexplicably quieter, and the higher the volume, the more obvious the effect, and the volume of normal speech will not change much. ”
"Catherine. Pannis suddenly turned around and said, "Help." ”
"Okay!" Before Pannis could say what help he needed, Catherine had understood his intentions, and in her vindictive spirit, she shouted directly in the knight's battle cry. Not long after the tiger's roar fell, the war cry once again filled the mountain forest, and even the distant valley had a faint echo.
For the tacit cooperation between the two of them again without words, Vral lowered his head and pouted secretly, but as soon as he looked up, he met two pairs of playful eyes, one pair of yellow-green vertical pupils, and the other pair as deep blue as the sea.
"Hah, I found it. Pannis's eyes finally lit up, and he said happily: "It's a lot easier now, I finally don't have to be attacked by them to make my nose and eyes bleed out, and with the dancing tree, I'll see how they attack us." ”
If you look into Pannis's line of sight, you can see a slightly sparse wood, with a tower-like crown and very dense foliage. In the roar of the tiger just now, it was difficult to see because the whistle brought the wind at the same time, but this time in the battle cry that had just fallen, the light green leaves were writhing slightly, and it really seemed to be dancing.
