Chapter 21 Running at the top of the tree net
"Why, what are you smelling?" Catherine asked, "Are you looking for the tribes of the Scrub Tribe?"
"No, hiss, the members of their tribe are just at the foot of our feet, hissing, lurking among the tree nets in the upper and lower worlds, hissing, I know without having to smell it." Garantis shook his head and said, "I want to smell and see what they are doing, hissing, and want to figure out why they are hunting so seriously."
"Why don't you ask them directly?" Catherine asked in confusion: "It is said that you can communicate with them with your soul whisper, and you don't have to worry about disturbing your prey, so why not use it?"
"I asked, hissing, but they didn't answer." Garantis muttered dissatisfiedly: "Take a very mysterious look, hissing, but the more they do, the more curious I feel, hissing, so I can try to smell it by myself."
"It's a pity that you didn't smell it." Panis had actually followed Garantis for a long time, and then shrugged and said, "I didn't smell it either. The sweet fragrance of Sogumu is too heavy, and the stimulating fragrance of wetland orchids is confused. It's too difficult to tell what they are hunting. But listening to the sound, the swamp tribe has made a lot of noise this time, and the radius of nearly ten kilometers around has been blocked by them. With such a large-scale operation on the North Swamp, what are they hunting?"
"Forget it, hiss, just look." Garantis let go of the tail of the branches, and leaped forward flexibly with the elasticity of the branches: "Hiss, come with me, be careful on the road, hiss, and even if you fall, you can't fall down, but you don't have scales to protect you, be careful of being stabbed by the protruding branches. Come on, hiss, learn from me, see the landing point under your feet, and hiss. When jumping, try to choose thick branches as support points. Yes, this is the branch, hiss. Don't fight against the elasticity of the trunk. Hiss, that's how you can move, hiss, you should use several times more force to move, hiss, you should use elasticity as the motivation to move forward, hiss, you can see that I can go out four or five meters by jumping, but in fact you don't use much force."
The explanation of the Lizardman is mainly aimed at three spell casting girls. Although Catherine and Eva have not learned to save their energy with the power of rebound, they are physics professions after all, and they have strong control over their bodies. They can move forward relatively smoothly on the tree network. However, the three spell casting girls have worked harder. Although their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary humans, they have never had the experience of walking in such a special area. When they camped last night, they did not participate in collecting camping supplies, nor did they have the opportunity to adapt. Therefore, they would be very cautious every step, and they lowered their heads carefully, for fear of falling down on the air.
"Don't stare at the bottom of your feet." Panis suddenly appeared silently behind Freya like a shadow, stretched out his hand on her waist, stabilizing her body that was about to fall: "The more you stare at her, the easier it is to fall. Relax your body and look forward, thinking about the feeling you felt when you first learned to drive a magic motorcycle, which is actually the same. Yes. Just like that, staring at her feet can only see the step in front of you. There is no time to react in advance if you encounter any situation next, so you raise your head and look at the distance of a few steps in front of you. I believe in your own physical fitness. The chosen foothold will not be empty."
Lina secretly blessed the magic of amplifying power and speed on her body. The increase in speed can also increase her reaction ability slightly, which is very helpful for jumping in the forest. Therefore, Lina was the first to adapt to this way of progress and was the first to hit the branch. Fortunately, Panis moved horizontally in time and reached out to support the silver-haired girl's body leaning back: "Don't increase the speed too fast. You can't adapt to high-speed jumps yet, of course, don't be too slow. Only after being proficient can you slow down like us, so you can protect yourself.
Just keep a normal running speed. Don't be afraid of falling. Believe me, I will support you in time. Vivian, too. It's great to use magic tricks to support this idea, but be careful. If you use this method, your mobility and adaptability will be significantly reduced. But it doesn't matter if you use it. We can make up for it for you. Well, this vine berries have just been picked and delicious. Look, there is another one here. Do you want to try it? Hey, don't hit people here, okay, I won't eat it."
As the girls gradually became more skillful, the seven people's advance speed also increased significantly. Seeing the trees retreating quickly under their feet and enjoying the wind blowing on their faces, the girls even fell in love with this feeling of running.
Looking at the sea of trees in the upper world deep in the swamp is completely different from the visual effect of the lake. The sea of trees in the deep swamp is like a green grassland. Trees of different heights are like rolling hills. Vine leaves of different colors grow on the vines wrapped around the trees, like colorful wild flowers dotted on the grassland. When the breeze blows, the branches and leaves of the Suogu wood on the top sway and swing, as if the weeds are undulating with the breeze. If it weren't for the tree nets filled with gaps under your feet, the girls would have mistakenly thought that this place suddenly became an orc grassland in the southwest.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss." While running, the seven people seemed to suddenly fall into the surround of snakes. A hissing sound rang out from all directions, and the sound was connected without breaking.
"We're here, hissing." Garantis finally stopped, looked around, and said affirmatively: "They are here, hissing, this should be the command center of their hunting operation."
The girls stopped with the Lizardman lady and looked around. The upper world was still empty and there was no one to see. However, although the lizards in the Swamp Skull Tribe were hiding well, the girls quickly discovered them with their keen energy sensing. They hid in the tree net, with purple-red and green dyes applied to form a protective color to make themselves and the tree net blended into one.
