Chapter 182 Lin Xi
Lin Xi is not tall, this is the first impression of the girls when they see Lin Xi. However, they will find that this is just their own illusion. In fact, the height of Lin Xi is generally between three and four meters. As for the reason why it gives people the illusion that it is not tall, it is because they are very strong, or in other words, very wide, and the thickest part of the body can even reach two meters, and the length is about three meters. When standing there on all fours, it is like a solid city wall, which makes people instinctively feel an unshakable momentum.
These wall-like creatures are gray-green, with two thick, hard horns on their long faces one after another. The skin on their bodies is very special, with several large pieces covering each other, as if they were covered with thick metal plates. There are only a few gaps at the junction of the two plate-shaped skins. Moreover, it is said that the location of this gap is the strongest defense, because all the gaps are covered with two skins, and have double the defense ability.
Their plate shape is very thick, and the thickness of each piece of skin is close to the diameter of the thighs of an adult male, and the outer layer of the skin has become keratinized, as if it is wearing a layer of armor. If you simply calculate the defense ability, even their distant relatives on the grassland and the sound-hate-skinned cows are as fragile as babies compared to them. Legend has it that even if they bombard them with the crystal energy cannon with the greatest firepower, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to them.
"This is true. Someone has tried it before. Well, that's right, that fool goblin." When talking about his old friend, Panis's expression was still a bit undetectable. However, the look of regret quickly disappeared and he said with certainty: "The curiosity of goblins is sometimes not much better than Lina. Don't fight. You can't do such a big move here, okay. I won't talk about you anymore. Anyway, the curiosity of goblins is also very strong, so he did an experiment once. Of course, the result of the experiment was that he was chased by the angry Lin Xi all the way to the end of the territory, and he would be attacked as soon as he showed up in the future."
"How strong are their defenses?" Catherine looked up at a group of huge creatures dozens of meters away, and said in confusion: "You describe this. I have no idea."
"Yeah, let's describe it like this." Panis thought for a while and said, "You know cowhide, um, of course you know, it's very tough. If you want to cut it with a sharp blade, you need some strength. Now let's fold a hundred cowhides together and compact it into one. After some of the keratinization, you will constantly apply mud on the outside to form a hard shell. If you don't use Douqi for such skin, you can use all your strength. Can you leave scars?"
"It's very difficult." Catherine carefully simulated the effect of Panis' description and shook her head, "I'm afraid there are very few people who can do it."
"However, this is just the defense of their skin. Although they are called Lin Xi, they are actually monsters with earth element attributes. They can absorb soil to form a layer of rock armor on the surface of their bodies. The strength of the armor is greater than the strength of their own skin. Even if they search the entire forest of death, it is rare to see creatures that can break through their defenses." Panis explained: "It can be said that this is a monster with almost no natural enemies. If they are not plant-eating monsters, they may be one of the overlords in the depths of the forest."
"The road here is opened." Flar's call came from behind. On everyone's path, there was a deep rift, which was two or three hundred meters deep, and below was a turbulent underground river channel. On both sides of the rift were steep cliffs, with cliffs separated by at least fifty or sixty meters, blocking the team's way. When Panis passed here yesterday, he directly used the characteristics of the inherent spiritual realm to pass through this obstacle within the realm, but today he was not only himself, so he naturally could not use yesterday's method.
Fortunately, there was Flar in the team. In the adventure in the forest, Flar was like omnipotent. There was no terrain barrier in front of her. Originally, according to Pannis' plan, he directly cut down a giant tree next to the rift, controlled the giant tree to fall, built a natural bridge with the tree body, but this plan was temporarily rejected by Flar.
It is recognized by everyone that the elves are unwilling to harm plants, but for teammates, as long as they do not destroy plants meaninglessly like Kenaida a few days ago, the elves will not be too dissatisfied with them. However, when teammates destroy plants, if they can achieve the same goal through other methods, the elves will still stop their teammates, just like what Flar is doing now.
Her Majesty’s other methods are of course still to use plants. The trees, flowers, plants and vines that can be seen everywhere in the forest are the biggest helpers of the elves. Using the rapidly growing vines to create a temporary floating bridge on the rift. Although it will be a little slower than cutting down a tree, if you consider the possibility that the bridge will fail to pass through the bridge due to the failure of the tree when it falls, it is obviously safer to build a bridge with vines.
In the rift valley span of fifty or sixty meters, the vines obviously could not rely on themselves to extend to the opposite side, but there was still Alcmene in the team. The hunting priest tied a rope behind the spear, and threw it to the other side and penetrated deep into the soil, providing the vines with good climbing materials. Under the control of Flar, the two vines grew and extended at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few minutes, they arrived on the opposite side and were wrapped around the giant trees on the other side. The third vine grew tangled along the same bodies on both sides, allowing a floating bridge to be built soon.
"Go through quickly, Kyle." Flar urged: "There is not much time left."
"How long will it take?" Panis seemed to have no longer cared about this and asked easily: "Half an hour?"
"If you count the climbing time, there are only twenty-four minutes at most." Flar frowned with a slender and beautiful brow, pulling Panis down and whispered: "Kyle, unless you run again when you were chased by arrow rats, it will be difficult to arrive in time. You don't want to hit them head-on when you are halfway through. But it is unlikely that they will be as fast as they just now. They are already very tired, and even if they still have the strength, it will be difficult to squeeze them out."
"It's just difficult, isn't it?" Panis smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
Flar was silent for a moment, suddenly widened his eyes and said with a wry smile on his lips: "Kyle, you... OK, I understand, you actually..."
"Hehe." Panis shrugged, raised his thumbs up to Flar and smiled brightly, and turned around to greet everyone, "Come across the bridge quickly and stop looking at those awesomes. You will encounter a large number of Lin Xi along the way, which is enough for you to watch."
Panis was not wrong. After crossing the bridge, the teams that were moving fast all the way often encountered wandering Lin Xi. Because of the thick armored skin, the Lin Xixi seemed unable to look up, so they could only leisurely lower their heads and chew on the grass on the ground. Many black rhinoceros stood on the back of Lin Xixi, and occasionally put their sharp beaks into the gap between the two skins to peck at the mosquitoes hidden inside. When they saw the expedition, the rhinoceros on the back of Lin Xixi would sing loudly, awakening the Lin Xixi who was intoxicated by the tender buds of the grass. Whenever the expedition team passed by a group of Lin Xixi, these huge Lin Xixi would raise their heads and look at these strange creatures with curious eyes. However, it was obvious that they had no interest in the members of the team. After passing, they focused on the fresh food.
"Yes, they won't attack other creatures easily." Panis threw a small stone at a Lin Xi. The stone obviously hit the other party, but Lin Xi seemed to have no feeling at all and didn't even raise her head. Facing Lina's eyes that were scared and gritted her teeth, Panis spread his hands and said with a lazy smile: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, I'm just giving an example."
Although everyone is still maintaining normal conversations, the speed of progress is actually very fast. Everyone knows that time is not enough, so even if everyone's clothes are soaked in sweat, even if the girls feel as hot as fire in the stuffy environment, they are still moving at a speed close to running. At this speed, only the two girls, Catherine and Eva, can still speak in a normal tone.
"But I always feel there is still a problem." Catherine was still a little hesitant, and her question had not been answered: "If Lin Xi was really so gentle and safe, why are there no large monsters here except them? At most, it is small monsters like hares."
"Aoao?" The little fox was sitting on Catherine's shoulder, holding a rabbit caught from somewhere in his mouth. When he heard Catherine's words, he screamed a few times as if he could understand it, and put the rabbit close to the face of the Knight girl. The girl patted the little guy's head with laughter and cry, and pushed the rabbit's body aside.
"Because they have a very bad habit." Panis suddenly stopped. Others didn't understand what was going on, so they stopped. This time Panis did not pretend to be mysterious and replied directly: "They are too nervous about the safety of their cubs. As long as they have not passed the five-year juvenile stage, if there are creatures that are slightly closer, they will be attacked without hesitation."
"So that's the case." The knight girl nodded thoughtfully and said, "Although they don't usually attack, it's hard for other creatures to guarantee that they won't get close to their cubs, so were they forced away?"
"Uh, Panis, I have a very serious question to ask you." Lina suddenly pulled the corner of Panis's clothes and lowered her voice and said, "Is the cub you are talking about that thing?"
Lina pointed to a shrub. A small head poked out of the shrub. The little thing that poked out her head looked similar to Lin Xi, but her body was pink and tender, and her flesh was very cute. The little guy squeezed out of the bushes and walked a few steps towards the team. Suddenly he was tripped by the weeds under his feet, rolled on the ground a few times, and looked around after standing up, looking blankly with a blank expression of not knowing what was going on, making people want to pick it up and pinch it.
