Chapter 175: A trip to the forest and grassland

"Shh, try not to make any sound." Panis hid behind a tree, poked his head and observed carefully the small open forest grassland in front of him. There were many wild beasts and monsters living on the forest plain of more than 400 square kilometers. No matter how dangerous the forest of death, it was impossible for all creatures to be monsters. On the contrary, most of the creatures are ordinary beasts, and almost all of them are herbivorous creatures with strong reproductive ability. These creatures form the bottom layer of the huge food chain of the entire forest. The grasslands in the forest are also like

At this point, a large number of beasts wander leisurely on the grass. The abundant water element environment makes the plants grow very lush, providing herbivores with abundant food so that they can reproduce in large quantities without restrictions. Since there is only one predator in the entire area, the size and appetite of arrow rats are particularly small compared to other beasts. Therefore, this territory has become a paradise for herbivores. Even if more than a dozen dead every day, it can be considered very few compared to the base of herbivores.

"When walking for a while, pay attention to the entrance of the arrow rat's nest is much larger than that of an ordinary mouse." Panis reminded: "Don't step in with one foot. Spraining ankle is a trivial matter. The main thing is that stepping in will definitely alarm the arrow rat inside, and it will be lively at that time."

"You must walk here lightly, and don't be too fast. Just keep walking fast, don't run." Flar also joined the ranks of explanation: "According to the fact that there are many large herbivores on the grass, the vibration of the ground will not easily disturb the arrow rats, but this is not absolute. If the vibration is too big and really lead the arrow rats out, it will put us in a very troublesome situation. So just avoid trouble from the root, that is, lighten your steps and try not to jump."

"Also, Catherine, look at the thing that is scratching your hair." Panis pointed to the little fox and said, "I don't know if it has the habit of drilling holes, but I don't want to fail halfway through the plan because of drilling holes."

"Little guy, go back, you won't be allowed to come out if you don't call me." Catherine patted the head of the fantasy fox. As if she understood, the little fox screamed a few times, turned around and got into a pocket sewn for it on Catherine's backpack. When she went in, she shook her tail at Pannis as provocatively.

"Soon and later, turn you into a scarf." Panis waved his fist at the little fox as a threat. He found that the girls were glaring at him neatly, so he had to laugh twice and scratch his head, as if he had done nothing just now, and coughed and said, "Don't be too nervous. The arrow rat's brain is not that smart, and it's not enough to distinguish the difference between ordinary herbivores and invaders. As long as you don't have to attack those herbivores, the blood and screams of those creatures will make the arrow rat mistakenly think that other predators have invaded the territory. By the way, Konada, that tree..."

"I know, damn Kyle." The dwarf shield guard muttered loudly in dissatisfaction: "I will no longer destroy the things around you to vent your dissatisfaction. You have been talking about me three times in such a short journey, but I haven't noticed that you have become more and more verbose after not seeing you for a hundred years. Really, why didn't I find you have this trend before?"

"Then let's go." Panis waved his hand and finally instructed: "Close your mouth and try not to ask questions if you have any questions. Pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time, Flar..."

"I know." Her Majesty the Queen had already taken off the hunting bow and held it in her hand, and the feather arrow had already put on the bowstring. Obviously, once an unlucky arrow rat discovered the trace of the team, Her Majesty the Queen would use the feather arrow to prevent it from passing messages to its companions as soon as possible. Of course, the premise is that it did not hide in the cave.

As Panis waved his hand, the team moved again after staying for five minutes and watching. Everyone walked over the last tree and stepped onto the grassland in the forest.

As soon as they entered the grassland, the girls felt that the environment had changed very significantly. In the dense forest, the environment was dark and humid, and because of the canopy, the hot water vapor could not be dissipated and was stuffy in the space under the canopy. Therefore, it was not only humid and stuffy, but also the air was turbid, and the nose was always filled with the smell of plant decay. After staying in such an environment for a long time, the clothes on their bodies were wet every day, constantly emitting a moldy smell. Coupled with the noisy bird calls and the strange noises that appeared from time to time in the forest, the girls were always particularly irritated.

However, the grasslands in the forest are completely different. Since there are almost no trees growing on the entire grassland, the sun can shine on the grassland without being hidden, and the water can evaporate to the sky without any obstacles. Therefore, although it is equally hot, it seems very dry. When the wet and sticky clothes are burned by the sun, they immediately return to their former dryness. Looking up at the bright sunshine, even the irritable clouds in their hearts seemed to be dispelled by the sun, and their mood became better.

The grass on the ground is flourishing, unlike the orc grassland. The grass here is not high, and the highest is less than half of its calf. It is easy to see the surface by lowering its head. Due to the hot and rainy death forest, the grass here remains vibrant all year round and never witheres due to changes in the climate. When sunlight is shining, the grass here is filled with the grasslands in the forest. The fresh and fragrant air makes the girls unable to help breathing hard and enjoy this rare comfort.

There are many animals on the grassland, and they are of different sizes, from wildebeests that are more than two meters tall to dwarf pigs that are only sixty centimeters tall, from six-legged beasts that are only about one meter tall but close to three meters long, to standing with hind legs like humans, mainly relying on jumping to replace walking parenting deer, all kinds of herbivores that can or cannot be named all over the grassland.

While walking, you can occasionally encounter piles of white bones, covered with traces of gnawing, some of which are left with bones, and some still have residual blood and flesh. Obviously, it has not been a few days since it was hunted. Even so, these white bones have not affected the lives of herbivores. Just next to the white bones, you can often see animals eating grass leisurely, just like there was no bone found at all, and you were too lazy to lift your eyelids. However, you have gained countless curious eyes for the sudden appearance of the expedition. These herbivores who have never seen a smart creature in their lives are not afraid of people at all. There are even a few young beasts coming over to sniff the girls.

Although there were leftover corpses, there were unexpectedly no insects such as flies. There should be a large number of insects flying on the corpses, but there was no one here. This situation may occur. It is probably because of the insect storm the night before yesterday. All the insects in the nearby area had already followed Guo Jing's swarm and left their nests, and they would not easily encounter other insects in a short time. Therefore, after Panis agreed, the girls simply threw the thick black robe and masked cloth into their backpacks and moved forward with ease.

There are not only no insects near the bones, but also not even the most common scavenging vultures in the wilderness. These birds can almost be regarded as one with corpses. They must be found in places with corpses, but they are just the difference between hovering in the sky or eating on the ground. But there are no vultures here, and there is not a single one. But if you think about it carefully, those scavenging birds mainly live in an environment with a wide view without obstacles. Although this plain in the forest meets this condition, the plain is surrounded by forests in the center. There are countless flying monsters in the forest. Scavenger birds cannot reach here at all, let alone fight for corpses.

Ignoring these corpses and continuing to move forward, before going far, you can hear the gurgling sound of water. Then a little stream appears in front of the team a little distance. The stream is clear and transparent, and the sound of water is crisp. You can smell the stream before you get close. After getting close, you just need to look at it, and the urge to jump into the stream and wash away the sweat and salt on your skin.

However, no one rushed up in the team. For experienced adventurers, the situation in front of them was full of danger. First of all, there were no fish in the stream, no size or size. Moreover, although the stream flowed, it was full of dead silence, and even algae did not grow. In addition, the more obvious problem is that other herbivores, on a grassland, such a stable and safe source of water should be the center of all animal activities. However, the surrounding herbivores did not intend to gather, and they all avoided the range of the stream from afar. Only a few were still wandering around the stream, looking like they wanted to drink water but didn't dare to drink it.

Judging from the girls' experience, there is definitely something wrong with this stream. What needs to be considered is just the problem. Although the girls have questions about this, no one asked about it when they thought of Panis's previous request.

It seemed that the girls were confused. Although Pennis did not give the answer, he bent down when he walked to the stream, scooped up a cup of stream water, and filtered the stream water on the stream. After the filtering, it was obvious that a pool of gelatinous liquid was left at the bottom of the cup. The gelatinous body was translucent and could not be found when mixed in the water. Only by emptying all the water can they see their bodies.

However, in line with the regulations of minimizing conversations, no one was too entangled in these colloids. Even Penis just threw the cup and colloid back into the message, allowing the colloid to be reorganized into the water, and no longer saw the body.

Panis shrugged, took out the inflatable pontoon bridge that had been prepared from his backpack, and then blew the gas and put it on the water. The stream was obviously shallow and could pass by just wading through the water, but Panis chose the very troublesome pontoon bridge, which was enough to show the seriousness of the problem in the stream.
