Chapter 47 Mosquitoes
"Buzz, buzz", an irritating beeping sound came from the forest, and the noise was very loud, allowing girls to clearly hear this swelling buzzing sound even if they were far apart. The noise was like the sound of mosquitoes circling in their ears while they were half asleep and half awake at night, which would make the hearts of those who heard it filled with anger and helplessness.
"What's the sound?" Katherine frowned, obviously not liking to this noise: "Is it the dragonfly before? No, the dragonfly's voice is deeper than this, and the sound is obviously much sharper. Could it be a bee?"
"Let's leave quickly?" Ike waved to everyone, "This thing scared away the monster. It was one of the superior predators in the Earth-Secret World. I just ran away like that. I don't think you want to encounter it."
"Vivian." Catherine winked at Vivian. Vivian nodded and set up a beacon for the Eye of the Mage. Everyone followed Ike and quickly drilled into the forest, continuing to sneak along the straight line towards the entrance of the path. However, although the man left, the Eye of the Mage continued to work, faithfully feeding everything from the original position of the few people to the crystal plate in Vivian's hand.
At the beginning, there was a calm surrounding the Eye of the Wizard, and only the breeze was blowing the bushes gently swinging. Apart from that, there were no strange creatures. But soon, a black shadow appeared from another direction of the forest, and the black shadow spread out in the air like a carpet, and it looked very large from afar. When the distance between the shadows was closer, several people could see clearly. These were not black shadows at all, but a dense group of mosquitoes. These mosquitoes obviously also conformed to the characteristics of the creatures in the Earth Trace. Each one was about half a meter long. The group of mosquitoes flew very fast, and in just a blink of an eye, they had already flew to the position where the girls were originally, that is, next to the Eye of the Wizard. They were here
After turning around in one position for a few times, the girls just saw their hideous appearance through the Eye of the Wizard. These huge mosquitoes have soft brown shells, and their narrow and shriveled abdomen have black and white patterns. Six legs are curled under their bodies, outside their bulging chest. A pair of wings covered with tiny scales vibrate at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye. On the round heads of the mosquitoes, a pair of huge eyes occupy four-fifths of the head. Each pair of black eyes looks like countless mirrors, which can reflect the surrounding scenery. At the lower end of the head. The slender straw-shaped mouthpiece is divided into three pieces at the end, with an unknown blood-red pattern, which makes people feel creepy.
"It's actually a mosquito." Seeing this dark mosquito, the girls felt uncomfortable all over. Lina no longer cared about imitating Kateria's image, rubbed her arms, gritted her teeth and whispered: "A few mosquitoes of this size can suck people into mummies. Let's go quickly, don't be caught up. Well, you should bring some deworming powder."
In the sight of the Eye of the Mage, the mosquito group hovered for several times at the place where the predator and the adventure group had a brief battle. Then they chased along the breath of the predator and soon disappeared deep in the forest with a buzzing noise. The girls looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The few people were not afraid of fighting or any terrifying creatures, but the nature of the girls made them unable to accept the feeling of such a large mosquito flying around them. No, even if they were not girls, they probably didn't want to try this strange experience.
"It's okay, it's okay." Freya patted her chest and let out a long sigh: "They went after the predator and did not come to us. Is this considered luck? Or are we too small and they can't be interested?"
"Well, let's describe it like this." Panis thought for a while and said seriously: "I cooked a Neville-style full meal strictly according to the size of the banquet and then Katherine cooked a small cup of oatmeal, asking you to choose which one you would choose to eat?"
"Swish", as soon as Pannis finished speaking, he flashed his body and just avoided Catherine's turn around and swept his legs without warning. Catherine said angrily: "You are provoking again, just explain it, why do you laugh at my cooking skills? Well, although it is really hard to eat."
"I understand." Freya nodded, turned around and patted Panis on the shoulder: "But I think if you continue like this, you will sooner or later force your elder sister to abandon the virtues of the Knights and commit the crime of murdering your teammates."
"You guys have enough trouble." Catherine glared at the two of them for a few seconds, and suddenly couldn't help laughing and kicked a huge rock next to her: "Especially you, Panis, know that you are worried that we are scared by such a big bug. You want to liven up the atmosphere, but it depends on the timing. The most important thing now is to find the small crack and crawl in so that you will not be affected by these unknown giant monsters outside. Although we are not afraid of them, we don't have to fight all the way."
"Catherine, if I were you, I wouldn't kick that stone casually." Panis felt the blood vessels on his forehead beating and said with a dry smile: "I would like to give you a suggestion, you'd better walk over slowly, slowly, slowly, and then turn to see what you've kicked just now."
"Not... the stone? I feel that it's no different from the stone when kicked up." Panis's solemn expression made Catherine swallow hard. As Panis said, he walked forward at a very slow speed a few steps, turned his head slowly little by little, and the blue stone still stayed in place, without any abnormality: "What's wrong? There's nothing."
Before he finished speaking, the huge rock suddenly shook, four legs grew from below, and slowly turned around. This was also a monster, about thirteen meters long and only four meters tall. Four legs were on the ground, and four round legs, which were also short and thick, supported the huge body. When the monster turned around, everyone finally saw its front. Its head had three huge sharp corners, one short corner raised from its nose, two long corners were on both sides of the head, and all three sharp corners faced forward. At the neck, there was a circle of wrinkled frills, just like a thick scarf, the frills stood upright at the neck, and looked very hard.
Catherine did not show a hostile posture because she found that the other party did not have sharp teeth in her mouth, and it should be a herbivorous monster. Moreover, the other party did not show an attacking posture, as if she was touched by someone else and then looked back casually.
"Hello, hello." Although he didn't plan to fight, facing a giant, bowing his head and approaching to observe curiously, Catherine was still a little nervous and said awkwardly: "What a coincidence, we met here."
"Oh, my goodness." Several girls covered their faces together. Lina gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, don't use the Panis-style approach to chat at this time. This is really stupid."
"Hey." Panis looked at Lina with a squint, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is Panis-style chat? Is this a fixed title? And why do I think this method is perfect? Where is it stupid? Look, the other person also seems to like this method."
The large monster with three horns drooped its head in front of Catherine, sniffed curiously, stretched out its big tongue that was about the width of Catherine, and licked it hard from bottom to top, licking Catherine's body with saliva. It seemed that it was not a delicious thing. The beast's nostrils squirted out two breaths from its nostrils. It ignored the little things in front of it, turned around and continued to lie down, and entered sleep again.
"I think we'd better leave as soon as possible." Catherine took out a towel and wiped her face in disgust: "I don't want to be greeted by her tongue anymore. If anyone has any objection, it's time to accept the greetings."
"Don't worry, no one will object." The guide Ike, who had been silent, felt that this time his teammates were interesting. Maintaining a peaceful and pleasant mentality in this strange environment is also a difficult skill to master, but the teammates in front of him undoubtedly mastered very well. Hearing Catherine's complaint, Ike's face could no longer see the coldness when he first met, and he actually said with a smile: "Also, this kind of monster is actually very docile. If you don't attack it, it doesn't matter if you keep following it."
"But their habit of saying hello is too bad." Catherine tried to wipe off her saliva as much as possible: "Let's leave quickly. It's almost ten o'clock in the morning. Let's hurry to the small crack as soon as possible and camp inside."
"Okay." Ike thought for a while, nodded, "At our speed, we will arrive in about seven or eight minutes."
"That's great, go away quickly." Catherine looked back at the rock-like monster before leaving: "To be honest, there is no difference between kicking its skin and kicking stones. The defense of this monster seems to be quite terrible."
"Its attack power should be terrible," said Panis. "Its skull looks quite thick and hard. With its huge size, if it hits a head-on with the armored bull, even if it is a legendary monster, it is estimated that five armored bulls will not be able to hit it together. Moreover, its three sharp corners are not decorations. If it has impact, steel can also penetrate it."
"I've decided." Vivian suddenly raised his head from his notebook and said seriously: "I want to record all the unknown creatures I saw along the way. After I go back, I will publish them in the guild. It should cause a lot of sensation."
"Actually, many high-end professionals know about the situation here." Panis said: "But for hundreds of years, no one has been able to figure out the causes and species of the environment here, so there has been no large-scale announcement. After all, people are selfish."
