Residents who often travel to the rainforest know that there are three treasures in the rainforest: heat, disease, and insects running everywhere.
As soon as Xue Hua and others got off the boat, they instantly felt the "warm" welcome from the rainforest.
Literally "enthusiastic".
With the help of the King Insect, the plan of the Parliament Guard Corps was implemented very smoothly. It only took two hours for the professionals on all three ice ships to successfully land in a hidden bay.
However, as soon as they entered the dense jungle, these professional warriors who had been staying in the demon fortress all year round felt the deep malice coming from this land.
"Damn! The air here is so humid! I wonder how people who live here can dry their clothes..."
Xue Hua wiped his face and shook away the water drops that almost blinded his eyes. Half of them were sweat and the other half were moisture condensed in the air.
After walking less than two hundred meters in the jungle, the clothes inside his equipment were completely soaked with sweat and humid air.
And in addition to the hot and humid air, the various little bugs here are really annoying.
Mosquitoes as big as fists and all kinds of colorful poisonous insects and snakes will take every opportunity to get into your clothes. If they weren't all professionals, these nasty little devils alone could instantly reduce their number by three points.
one.
"Kurast has always been protected by a barrier composed of the sacred object 'Gidebin'. There are no bugs in the city, and the temperature and humidity are quite suitable. However, the environment there now is probably more terrifying than in the rain forest.
....”
Zhuo Genan, who was standing next to him, also shook the sleeves of his clothes. The large mage robe was several kilograms heavier than before after absorbing the moisture.
This weight is nothing to a legendary strongman, but it is definitely not comfortable when worn on the body.
"I suggest you take off that crap. Look at the mages in the legion. None of them wear such cumbersome robes..."
Farah stood aside, with a shining energy shield surrounding his body. Although this shield could not stop the hot and humid climate, it could keep out those little bugs.
"Why is there no shield skill to learn in fire spells..." Drognan mumbled and complained, but he still listened to Farah's advice and took off his completely soaked robe.
Put an energy shield on yourself.
It is true that he specializes in fire magic, but the legendary mage has learned all three skills at least, so he can also use energy shield skills, but he is far less proficient in using them than Farah, who is an electric magician.
"Okay, now that we have landed, the next step is to find our responder..."
Marion, the deputy commander-in-chief of the legion, came over and twisted the robe in his hand. A large amount of water was squeezed out of the robe in an instant, just like the clothes that had just been washed were being wrung out.
"No need to look for it, they are there!" Sosia, who was wearing light equipment, pointed at a tree not far away with a war hammer. A small area of bark had been peeled off on the trunk of the tree. Someone used a light
The green paint painted a small sacrificial dagger pattern on the place where the bark was peeled off - that is the symbol of Kurast's patron saint "Gidebin".
Seeing this thing, Ocaso immediately led a few people to the vicinity of the tree and gently tapped the trunk of the tree with the back of the big ax in his hand.
"Dong dong"
"This tree is hollow..."
"Yes, that's right, this tree is hollow."
Ocaso frowned and muttered to himself, but before he finished speaking, a childish voice sounded from the other side of the tree. One was wearing a dirty and wet linen coat and looked like he was less than fifteen.
The year-old boy emerged from behind the tree.
His face was smeared with strange paint, and his body exuded a strange medicinal smell. He stood in front of Ocaso with a smile and introduced him.
"Hello everyone, I am the apprentice of the alchemist Eco, my name is Fred, you can call me Frey.
I am waiting for you here under the order of Lord Omas, and will take you to our hiding place later.
But before that, please identify yourself, and there are too many of you, so we may have to take a long detour..."
"Omas sent you here? He sent an ordinary kid to be our guide?" Ocaso stared at the thin little guy in disbelief. The corners of his eyes twitched violently, obviously he was worried about the person sent by Omas.
people are very dissatisfied.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. The rain forest does not recognize the identity of professionals. The key to not getting lost here is not your age!"
Fred crossed his arms angrily, feeling extremely unhappy with Ocaso's judgment of appearance.
"Um...Okay, little...well, Frey, this guy is a bit fond of relying on his elders. Please don't argue with him..." Marion glared at Ocaso, who immediately gave up.
Went to the back of the line.
"I am Marion, the deputy commander-in-chief of the parliamentary guard force. That big guy...well, uncle, is our commander-in-chief Ocaso. These guys here are..."
"Grandpa Farah, Grandpa Drognan and Sister Sosia! Okay! I can confirm my identity when I see you!"
Fred didn't wait for Marion to introduce them one by one. He quickly glanced at the group of people behind him, and then a bright and bright smile appeared on his face.
"Oh! It's you little guy! I haven't seen you in a few years and you're so tall! Come here and let me hug you~"
Sothea turned her head when she heard the familiar voice and was overjoyed. A few years ago, her father personally introduced Fred to Eco, the eccentric old alchemist, as an apprentice. Of course she remembered this little guy.
of.
Originally, she thought that this boy had been killed when Kurast fell, so she was sad for a long time!
Seeing this familiar face here at this time naturally made her feel extremely relieved.
"Hehe~" Fred touched his head and smiled, letting Sothea hold him in her arms and kiss him fiercely.
"Where is your teacher? Is he okay? And where is the old man Lysander? This old guy's luck is still as bad as ever. Speaking of Kurast's visiting friend, he actually encountered such a thing head-on. I hope he didn't die.
It’s better to be in the city..."
Farah also came over and touched Fred's head, asking with a worried expression.
"Grandpa Farah, don't worry. My teacher and Mr. Lysander are both still alive. Master Ormus had a premonition that something was wrong before the demons invaded the city. He tried his best to gather everyone he could find, and then brought us safely.
Out of Kurast City..."
Fred smiled comfortingly at Farah and said.
Xue Hua stood in the back and heard these words, and then nodded in understanding. He asked why he didn't see the old man selling medicine in the game in Lu Gaoyin City! After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he ran to the library.
Last went to visit friends, which was indeed unlucky...
"Okay, now that the current situation is turbulent, let's not stand in a place like this and chat.
Frey, you said before that there were too many of us and we needed to take a detour?
Why is this so?"
Marion came over and interrupted the conversation between Farah and Fred, and then asked Fred somewhat seriously.
Hearing this question, Fred, who always had a smile on his face, also frowned slightly.
"This rainforest is now full of demon patrols. It would be very dangerous to wander around without knowing their patrol range. From our current location, we want to return to the hiding place in Ji Ku.
The only way is to pass through the huge wetland.
But there are too many of you, and the huge wetland is covered with sentries set up by the demon army. It's okay for only ten or twenty people, but it's impossible for thousands of people to avoid their eyes and ears!
So we can only go a little further east through the Skinning Forest, where there are many cellar passages left by the former dwarf tribes. If we use those passages, we can easily avoid the search of the demon army!"
