Chapter 142 The Stranded Plan
The thunderstorm, a specialty of the Death Forest, came without any warning, and went without warning. Due to the existence of a sound-insulating magic array, the girls could not hear whether the huge rain outside stopped, but the sound-insulating magic array could not stop the light. Three seconds ago, the outside of the temporary shelter was still as dark as midnight. Three seconds later, the sunlight had already shone on this shelter built in the low woodland. The bright sunlight passed through the tiny gaps between the wide and thick leaves of the thick leaves of the thick fern and into the shelter, cageing a hazy halo for the edges of the thick leaves covering the white kudzu tree.
Three hours have passed since the heavy rain. The brief thunderstorm has fallen four times in a row. The phenomenon of day and night exchange outside the shelter has been repeated four times. After this stop, the crisp chirping of birds gradually sounded between the nearby woodlands. However, the shelter has remained silent. No one spoke, and everyone is doing their own things quietly. Due to the excessive fatigue running before, the girls are overdrawing their physical strength and are now squeezing together for a nap. Freya is lying flat on the cleaned ground, with thick Katak skins on the ground. The warm and moisture-proof skins make the oval girl sleep very comfortably. On the same animal skin, Lina
With Vivian on her belly, they were on the left and right. Their heads rose and fell with Freya's breathing, which looked very interesting. Eva was still sitting on a wooden stake, looking straight, but her body was still motionless, and her eyes were not bright. I don't know if she had entered a special state of machinery. Beside her, the two undead were crowded together. The little guys were very sensible. They knew that their sisters were sleeping, so they kept silent. They just gathered together to read a storybook that they wanted to know where they found. Although they were about to turn the pages from time to time, they sat intimately again.
Catherine was not very tired. As a knight, she could barely bear the physical energy consumption of this level. Therefore, she did not rest like others, but removed the scale armor covered by her body. She was taking care of the armor deeply affected by the humid environment with great distress. Due to the humidity, the leather lining of the scale armor was already a little soft and emitted a scent. If it was not baked in time, it would not take long before the girl would need to change to a new set of full-body armor. Such a terrifying consequence was of course beyond the limit of the Knight Girl's endurance, so although it was barely enough, the girl still had to force herself to handle her armor.
As for Panis, he had been pulled away from the girls by Konada. Now the two old friends were sitting opposite each other in a corner of the shelter. There were already ten standard leather wine bags in front of them. The smell of wine bags that could hold a kilogram of liquid and the wine bags that still emitted a strong smell can fully illustrate how the two spent this period, but the two of them were just plain water, without any abnormality.
"Huh?" The knight girl who had just finished handling the scales was alarmed by the chirping birds. She listened to the voices outside and asked: "The animals seem to have all come out to move. Does this mean that the rain has been completely over?"
Sitting with my mother, Flar, holding a small hunting bow that was only about half a meter long, said something. He turned around and smiled at Catherine, nodded and said, "The rain has stopped. There should be no such heavy rain in these areas within about three days."
"This is really good news." Catherine could only smile bitterly at the sudden heavy rain: "Since the rain has stopped, don't we have to set off now? The original plan was not to arrive near the dividing line before tonight?"
"Since the thunderstorm has come in advance, the plan must be stranded." Panis shook the wine bag in his hand, sighed regretfully, and threw it aside and said, "As for the reason, you will know when you go out and take a look."
Catherine opened the curtain in confusion. There was a bright spot outside the shelter. After the rain washed, the leaves became greener and the air was fresher. The water droplets hanging on the leaves reflected colorful brilliance and shining dazzling under the sunlight. However, if you lower your head, you can see the tragic situation outside the shelter after the heavy rain. Since the current location is flat ground, the slightly lower ground has been soaked with accumulated water. Every step of the step, the accumulated water will be covered with half of the calves, and the accumulated water is covered with thick layers of fallen leaves. This is rainwater
The raging masterpiece. Not only fallen leaves, but even some tiny branches were knocked down by the rain, lying on the ground from side to side. Perhaps in a short while, these broken wood will quickly rot in the humid environment and return to the earth to provide nutrients for the trees in the forest. Fortunately, the temporary shelter was chosen for a slightly higher terrain. The drainage ditches and waterproof embankments were dug on the ground, so that the shelter was not soaked in water. Otherwise, I was afraid that these three hours would have to be soaked in water, which would definitely not be an experience worth looking forward to.
"There is so much water accumulation. How heavy is the rain just now?" Catherine sighed unexpectedly and said, "It seems that she really can't leave."
As she thought, it is indeed not a wise move to move in the forest of death under such road conditions. On the one hand, the terrain is more complicated due to the accumulation of water, and it cannot be judged visually. It is easy to be affected by obstacles, and it is even more because she saw some creatures.
After the heavy rain, the creatures in the forest finally got rid of their shackles. Although most wild beasts and monsters just continued their previous daily lives, a few creatures became particularly active due to the temptation of heavy rain and water accumulation.
What Catherine saw was mosquitoes, and at this time they were particularly active. Only these ubiquitous tiny creatures. Although they were small and inconspicuous, when they gathered together, they formed a huge body that could cover the sky, and kept hovering in a low place filled with water. When they flapped their wings, they would always make a buzzing sound. One would not attract attention when one was gathered together, but so many people gathered together, the buzzing sound was so loud that it made people who heard it.
.There are a large number of these small creatures that cannot be judged. Within the range of vision alone, Catherine probably has millions or even tens of millions of flying bugs. She doesn't know where they are usually hidden, but the girl thinks it's better that she doesn't know. She doesn't think these bugs are harmless. According to Panis's words not long ago, harmless creatures do not exist in the death forest at all. Even when facing herbivores, if they are not prepared, they may die inexplicably.
