Lord Helanza

The booster on the rear wing of the magic airship slowly went out, and after a long taxiing, it finally reached the final landing site.

In the jungle on the outskirts of Vojmara Northern Part of City, it is rare that there will be such a gentle mountain exposed to the surface, the slopes are covered with lush grass and low bushes, all around the jungle grows out The new trees in the area continue to invade this open space, and the circular outline of the surrounding juvenile forest belt is clearly visible.

The captain introduced to Surdak that an adventure group once found an ironwood forest here. Many loggers were hired to cut down the ironwood forest. Even the roots of the trees were driven over. Dig a thoroughly. In the past few years, the hillside on this side was full of pits left by the excavation. In the past few years, weeds have grown, and this slope is covered.

And the captain told Surdak the specific situation of this slope, the main reason is that after disembarking, you must pay attention to the way under your feet, otherwise accidentally stepping on the air, it is likely to be planted in these remaining tree pits .

Because there is no airport pier to moor the ship, the magic airship can only continue to slowly travel at low altitude. The two crew members lowered the ropes from the exit on the side of the ship's side. The members of the Surdak battle squad came to the ship's side one after another, holding the rope first. It was Samira, the half-elf archer, who soon passed by to the end of the rope, and then loosened the rope with both hands, his body opened in the air, curled up at the moment of landing, and rolled a few times on the grass. Then he stood up firmly.

Her footsteps did not stop, and she continued to chase the airship that kept moving forward. Among the waist-deep grass, Samira was like a light deer. Every time she crossed Can jump very far.

Ogre Guliterm’s approach is even simpler. He didn’t even grab the rope, and jumped directly between the two floating devices. The huge body was like a white The shells fell on the hillside with a bang, and the blast of air almost blasted the grass into a big hole.

Only Andrew and Surdak followed the rope step by step to the very end. Surdak found the right time to pounce on a thick bush, which is like a soft mattress, keeping Surdak steady. Supported in it, but those thorns are also tough ropes. The moment Surdak's body fell, those thorns left a few blood marks in places that Surdak's armor could not take care of.

The scent of tree oil in the bushes is very strong. This is a bush with deep purple fingernail-sized berries. This kind of berry has enough moisture. If you accidentally touch those berries, the peel will be It will burst open, flowing out a slimy purple slurry, which looks a bit disgusting, and there are some non-sharp spines all over the cane, and the five-finger-shaped leaves exude a strong scent of tree oil.

Surdak struggled to stand up from the cane, the native warrior Andrew then jumped into the bushes and saw all around full of berries, Andrew cheered. He seemed to know that this kind of berry would burst at the touch of it. Without reaching out to touch, he directly leaned down and stretched out his tongue to roll the berries hanging on the branch into the mouth, and then showed a very enjoyable expression.

But when he grinned at Surdak and laughed, his mouth was dyed blue. This deep blue berry is called blue popcorn, which is very famous in the city of Vojmara. The biggest feature is that it cannot be picked.

Andrew used a hatchet to chop off the wattle to make a way through the bushes.

Two people walked out of this bush, Samira and Gullitm had chased up from behind, they were in the peripheral zone of this sloping land. According to the map, there are almost no hell dogs in this area, and it is for this reason that the magician investigation team will give up the investigation in this area.

In the jungle, the vegetation is dense, and there are bushes in the forest. The native warrior Andrew of Nanai holds a hatchet to open the way in front, so he can barely walk through the jungle. Surdak used the second squad to perform a patrol mission on the Gandahar Mountain in Handanar County on the plane of Warsaw for half a year, so he did not find it difficult to travel through the jungle.

ogre has been living in the jungle on the outskirts of Vojmara City. Walking through the jungle is ogre’s daily life, and naturally I don’t think there is anything.

Before the siege of the hell dog, the half-elf archer Samira was the guide of Vojmara, and he would be hired by the adventure group to conduct activities in the jungle near Vojmara. After walking along the ridge of the Gaoling Mountains for a long time, I really couldn't see the Hell Hounds, not only there were no Hell Hounds, except for the birds on the treetops, there were almost no other jungle wild beasts.

This jungle is a little frighteningly quiet. Andrew walked under a big banyan tree, sniffed on the pile of dung between the roots, distinguished it carefully, and frowned. Said to Surdak: "We have now broken into the territory where the demonic beast has been, and the aura that this left behind shows that this demonic beast is powerful enough to scare away other wild beasts in this area. We must leave here as soon as possible."

Samira looked at the jungle all around and said: "It should be a new migration..."

She jumped onto the big banyan tree, stood on the branch and looked towards all around, while Said: "It used to be very safe here, otherwise there would be no adventure group to develop the ironwood forest here, I will check what is going on."

After that, she flew up and climbed up. At the top of the tree, he jumped to another tree by the dense branches, his body moved towards a monkey.

The team continued to walk north along the ridge. This direction is contrary to Vojmara City. The shadow of the demonic beast in the jungle has been shrouded in everyone’s minds. The road on the ridge is not easy to walk. And there is no prey in the jungle, which makes ogre behave a little irritated.

Surdak kept making some records on the map in his hand. He found that his battle squad had reached the edge of the map of the suburbs of Vojmara. As Samira said, the terrain between the mountains has become a little complicated. There is no sign of hell dog activity here. If Samira has not returned to the team, Surdak has even thought about giving up. Search for an area.

No hell dogs can be seen in this area. Since the investigation is the Devil’s Gate, as it should be by rights must there are a large number of hell dogs.

Samira caught up with the fighting squad, and she jumped down from the tree, with a strange look in her eyes.

"What did you find? Did you find the Hell Hound?" Surdak stopped, seeing Samira with a hint of excitement on his face, and asked curiously.

Samira shook her head, pointed her finger to the southeast and said: "I know what demonic beast is occupying this place. It is a wounded demon ape. I found its lair, right here. In the cave on the opposite side of the ridge."

"..."

Surdak has seen an introduction about the magic ape in the demonic beast encyclopedia, which is between two to three in strength. A demonic beast, an adult demon ape is strong as an ox, usually active in dense forests. Not only is he smart, but he is also proficient in the magic of natural elements and can manipulate trees.

Andrew is also very familiar with the magic ape, and asked Samira: "Shouldn’t that thing build a nest on the top of the tree?"

Samira shook his head and said:" I don't know, I think it should be injured."

"No wonder I can't see this guy's feces." Andrew said.

He found a reason for not identifying what demonic beast the feces under the banyan tree belonged to.

Surdak thought that if he could hunt this demon ape, he wouldn't be in vain even if he didn't find the whereabouts of the hell dog.

It’s just that he can’t understand it a little bit. It’s not far from Vojmara, only the outer suburbs of Vojmara. The nobles of Pena Province managed so much in Vojmara. How could there be a demonic beast here? This is a bit too unrealistic. The adventure groups in Vojmara are really useless. Are the demonic beasts in the surrounding area not cleaned up? Or is this jungle too rich in resources?

Thinking of this, Surdak said: "The competition between the demonic beasts of the Maca plane is so fierce...Does even the demon ape have to settle in the outskirts of Vojmara? This guy belongs to Level 2. In the category of demonic beast, the magic materials on the body can be sold for a price, and there must be a magic core hidden in the skull."

Samira also echoed: "In the past, many adventure groups went to Maca. The planes are all for hunting the Great Demon apes. There have been several times when the adventure group was looking for a guide to go deep into the mountain range of the new land, but I have never been there. How could I be a guide for them..."

"Captain, do you want this vote?" Andrew asked a little excitedly.

"It's all here, how could it be possible to come back empty-handed! Go and see..."

Surdak made a decision.

Only ogre is not so willing. He has eaten monkeys before, which is one of the most unpalatable foods in the jungle.

He doesn't want to catch a monkey that is one size bigger unless it is necessary.

……

Squad walks down the slope on one side of the ridge. In the overgrown jungle, the low space is crowded with unknown shrubs. Fortunately, There is a Nanai warrior leading the way. Even so, it is very difficult to walk all the way. The terrain here is more complicated, and the path you choose is likely to be on a cliff as you walk.

Even with Samira as a guide, she would have to climb two cliffs tens of meters high in the shortcut she chose.

Climbing down from the cliff is not difficult for the squad members, but it is undoubtedly a bit of a waste of time, and the rocks under the cliff are so rugged that ogre dare not jump straight down.

squad suffer untold hardships When it reaches the bottom of the valley, there is another rushing river valley in front of you. The river is not wide, but the water is turbulent.

Ogre jumped and jumped onto the rock on the opposite bank of the river at the narrowest part of the valley. Samira crossed the valley directly from the top of the tree and pulled a rope from the river. Surdak and Andrew directly Sliding over the rope.

Continue walking and enter a muddy swamp. The swamp is full of mangroves with well-developed roots. The road here is even harder, and this swamp is a poison insect. There are groups of poison insect mosquitoes entrenched here, and a large banyan tree has inhabited countless birds. It can be said that this mangrove forest breeds a large number of mosquitoes, and the large swarms of mosquitoes make it a paradise for birds.

Fortunately, there are Samira and Nanai warrior, they are very familiar with the environment in the jungle, and found a kind of arbor with a faint smell of branches and leaves, and weave the branches and leaves of this kind of arbor Wrapped in a wreath on the neck and top of the head, it can effectively repel the most ferocious mosquitoes.

Out of this mangrove forest, the jungle trees in front become taller, and from time to time you can see a tree looking up to the sky, countless tree vines hanging down from the canopy, these tree vines spread all over the forest On the contrary, the half-elf girl became more careful. Andrew also raised the hatchet with both hands and stared at the vines above his head.

Only ogre followed unscrupulously at the back. Suddenly a shadow of a tree sprang out from the top of the head, like a python wrapped around ogre's arm. Ogre's reaction was also extremely fast. Next, he grabbed the vine with his backhand and slammed the vine with the thickness of an adult's arm. Andrew next to him quickly cut the vine with his hands, and the tree vine looked like it was cut. The living python rolled on the ground for a while before it slowly stiffened into a bunch of curly vines.

"This kind of magic vine fruit is a very precious magic herbal medicine. Every autumn, herbal merchants always come to Vojmara to buy magic vine fruit. The Nanai people die every year because of collecting magic vine fruit. Clansman is not among the few..." Andrew said with a sad expression.

With ogre in the team, the magic vines on the canopy will not choose to attack other people. Andrew reacts quickly. Every time ogre is attacked, he can immediately cut the vines and pass through it. In a forest area, Ogre has been attacked more than 20 times. No wonder the birds in the river valley can hardly live in the trees, but this jungle can't even see a single bird.

Walking through this forest with active Human Demon vines, I found a cave halfway up the mountain wall. This cave is hidden by dense trees, it is almost hard to find without approaching. I don't know how Samira discovered here in such a short time.

"I’ve been here before. This cave was originally the residence of a group of mane people. Later, the mane people here were hunted and killed by the adventure group. The cave here became the foothold of the adventure group, and so did I I wanted to find a place to rest at night, so I wanted to see here. Didn’t expect unexpectedly met a magic ape.” The half-elf archer opened the bushes in front of him with his hands, staring at the cave not far away and explained. .

"We have to block it in the hole. Once we let it escape, as long as it rushes to the tree, almost no one can stop it if you want to escape!" Andrew looked at all around The jungle, said in a low voice.

"Gulitum, you and Samira are guarding the entrance of the cave, Andrew and I went into the cave to hunt the demon ape..." Surdak said.

ogre looked at the cave less than three meters high and knew that even if he could barely get in, it would be difficult to expand in the cave, so he nodded to Surdak.

Seeing that Samira took out a branch full of greenery and put it on the forest bow, Surdak quickly said to Samira: "Unless necessary, try not to use your ability to shoot arrows. , Raise this arm carefully, maybe you can recover..."
