Chapter 1221 25. Indigenous Elder of Yero

Under the violent shaking of the needle-like leaves on the crown of the luxuriant red pine tree, a huge brown giant spider with blue and yellow stripes rushed out from the crown. It stretched out two sharp black iron spears. Its tentacles showed Katerina who had just climbed up the tree that it was not to be trifled with. Ten pairs of eyeballs were distributed on both sides of the huge mouthparts. Each black spider was as big as a coconut. It's like the black pearls buried in the skirt on both sides of the pearl oyster.

The round spider belly like a small house behind it crushed the pine branches, and the huge body scraped off an unknown number of fine pine branches while moving. The three-meter-long spider legs covered with countless barbs hung on the pine tree. On the main branch, the huge body makes the crown of a giant pine tree more than [-] meters high seem to be devastated by a violent storm.

There was a slight rubbing sound from its mouth, and a trace of saliva flowed out from the mouthparts, and flowed down the tree trunk stickily.

The giant spider uses two spider legs behind it. The flexible spider legs alternately pull out the spider silk in the body and secretly weave a spider web with a diameter of about two meters. The two tentacles in front of the body keep flapping pine branches, trying to drive Katerina under the tree.

Katerina leaned on the trunk of the red pine behind her, holding two thrusting sabers behind her hands, her ruby-like eyes were full of murderous intent, she was patiently waiting for the opportunity to make a move, watching the two tentacles a little As they approached, the fine pine branches all around fell like raindrops, and at the moment when the giant spider stabbed over with its spear-like tentacles, Katerina's body left only an afterimage on the tree trunk.

When the giant spider realized that the thorns were empty, the many black spikes on its body were like inflated balloons, standing up from its body one by one, like a giant hedgehog, with a diameter of about two meters. The spider web hovered between the undulating abdomen and a pair of hind legs, but at this time Katerina was already in the sight of the giant spider, and the giant spider had no way to throw this spider web.

It turned its ten eyeballs in a panic, looking for Katarina who had disappeared everywhere, but it didn't find that Katarina had appeared on top of its head without a sound, and a sharp stabbing saber ruthlessly pierced into it. In the gap between the carapaces of the giant spider's back neck, the thorn turned around in Katerina's hand, and Katerina cut a wound more than one meter long on the back of the giant spider's neck.

She stood firmly on the back of the giant spider with both feet, and another heavy knives slashed at the joints of the giant spider's tentacles, a stream of black and purple blood spurted out. The giant spider felt that its life was threatened, and came out. Instinctively, the giant spider gathered its body and fell from the top of the tree like a huge meat ball.

At this moment, Katerina quickly jumped away, her brisk body landed on the canopy of the tree, a smug expression appeared on her face.

A dozen or so barbarians waiting under the tree vigorously propped up a web woven with tree vines, and waited for the injured giant spider to fall into the web. Two barbarian slaves skillfully tightened the mouth of the net, and the rest of the barbarians The man tied the net bag made of tree vines to the tree, and with the hand axe, he chopped off all the spider legs of the giant spider in three strokes. The movements were skillful, and in less than a minute, an adult giant spider was cut off. The spider is tidied up.

After the eight thick spider legs were cut off by the barbarian slaves, the meat inside could be seen from the breaks. The four barbarian slaves dragged the giant spider back with a whimper, and hung the net bag woven from vines on the big tree. , and then quickly moved forward with the large army to clean up the giant spiders lurking in the dense forest.

Looking up at Katerina, she had already walked away along the canopy of the tree. More than a hundred barbarian slaves carrying heavy crossbows followed Katerina, holding mountain axes and giant sickles in their hands, while clearing the forest Shrubs, vines, weeds, and overgrown branches and leaves moved forward, and the dense forest here was very dense. If a passage was cleared, the horses would not be able to pass through.

Several barbarian slaves followed Justus and talked with Justus in the barbarian language. I don't know when this siren descendant learned the barbarian language, but it seems that he just learned some Fur, he stumbled when communicating with these barbarian slaves, but his words did not prevent him from communicating with the barbarian slaves.

Justus saw me walking up the newly opened passage, and he was standing beside the passage with a bay red horse on his hand, waiting for me. Life in the jungle made his face look a little oily.

With a pine branch in his mouth, he said to me: "I've been thinking about it for the past two days, how did you say those tall Nebru tribe spider warriors passed through this dense forest, like us while opening a road? Go forward, I don't know how long it will take to cross this mountain depression, do you think we will go the wrong way?"

Our team walked in such a dense jungle for six days in a row. The biggest harvest along the way was hunting some giant spiders. These giant spiders are much bigger than other places. I think the main reason is probably in the The reason why prey can still be hunted in this jungle.

However, in this dense forest, the trees grow very densely, and the plants between the trees are covered with low thorns, shrubs and arbors. There is no trace of large beasts, let alone those that are bigger than giant elephants. Even the mighty spider warriors, if they pass by here, they will definitely leave some passages behind.

It was precisely because of this that Justus had this question.

He and I took out the map of the Hierro plane again, and then climbed to a high place to confirm our position.

Standing on the canopy, looking at the endless sea of ​​green trees in front of me, at this moment, I felt a sense of frustration that I didn't want to go on, because there was no end to this vast sea of ​​trees.

Justus stood beside me, with the bone sword in his hand stuck in the treetops to ensure the balance of his body, he wiped his face fiercely, and said to me: "A dense forest like this, the front I don’t know how far away it is, but we dare to conclude that when the Duke of Samoyed leads his Constructed Knights to march south, it is absolutely impossible to go here.”

I looked up at Deborah in the sky, saw that the mountains in front of me were as described on the map, and could only say: "Don't complain about this, just keep going, maybe there will be other passages in front of you." Maybe, hurry up and help me think of a way, how can I avoid those constructed knights of the South Wind Legion, and transport these giant spiders back to Xinliu Valley."

Justus frowned and hesitated before saying to me: "Isn't your silk reeling workshop already full of giant spiders? Why are you planning to send them in? You don't have to worry about those Yero natives." are they on strike?"

A flash of light flashed in my mind, but it was fleeting.

"Hey, Justus, what did you just say?" I asked him hastily.

Justus glanced at me, and then said: "I mean, why are you still planning to send giant spiders to Simwill Valley? Isn't there enough room in your cave? You might as well think about it, those barbarian slaves have already I want to taste some tender meat inside the chest shell of a giant spider, it is said that the creamy yellow inside the chest shell of a giant spider is even more delicious..."

"Not this sentence!" I planned his words.

Justus added: "And there's 'You're not worried about those Hierro natives striking out'!"

I clapped my hands heavily, and then said to Justus: "That's right, I should have thought of it a long time ago, the Hierro natives, no one is more familiar with this place than them, I'm so stupid, I should have them It was brought out from Xinliu Valley to be our guide."

"That's a good idea!" Justus also agreed.

……

If it weren't for my firm belief that the ancient war trees in Dustwallow Marsh would never have lied to me about this matter, I'm afraid I would have chosen other roads and headed south. In this mountainous area, trees are almost connected with each other. In the dense forest There are only some giant spiders lurking in the canopy, and there is absolutely no trace of spider warriors.

Earl Rez and Knight Jason probably also had some shakes in their confidence, but they kept these emotions in their hearts and never showed them.

Anyone who walks silently in this sea of ​​trees for several days will have doubts in his heart: 'Is our destination ahead? '

In the past few days, Kalancuo has been taking turns arranging orc warriors to supplement various knight skills from the southwind knights. Now these orc warriors have barely entered the gate of knights. They have learned In addition, when charging in line, you should not pursue individual heroism, but believe in your partners around you and make yourself a part of the team. The battle group is a whole. Although it has not yet experienced the test of war, it is obvious that these orcs are formed The temperament of the costumed warriors is different, and I firmly believe that they will definitely become the best costumed knights in the Grimm Empire.

Justus is far gentler than the dwarf Bernd, perhaps because he was born in a small island town, the concept of slaves in his mind is very downplayed, he will not ignore these barbarians just because they are slaves, Justus gave these barbarian slaves more respect, and his attitude also won the trust of the barbarian slaves, so the morale of these barbarian slaves was even higher under his leadership.

The barbarian slaves firmly believed that as long as they worked hard to hunt down the Nebru tribe spidermen in the jungle, they could eat delicious meat every day. This was the most basic welfare and guarantee that Justus promised them.

In this way, in this black forest, my fighting team has shown a strong cohesion, and it continues to grow and improve every day.

I have always believed that Dragon Knights are the strongest existence among knights. I think His Majesty Charles’ biggest hole card is the Royal Dragon Knights of the Angibold Royal Family who fought in foreign lands. Even the war of planes has begun to invade many For the benefit of the Grand Lord and the Grand Duke, His Majesty Charles still seems to have no intention of mobilizing the Royal Dragon Knights. He just asked His Royal Highness Charles to take a part of the Royal Gripen Knights into the plane of Ahnquila.

Seeing Le Die wearing scale armor and riding a sub-dragon flying in the sky, this is probably the ultimate dream of countless knights.

In fact, Yalong's status in Dragon Kingdom is equal to the status of murlocs and kobolds in human society. Yalong has never been recognized by the dragons.

Although the sub-dragons also have a trace of dragon blood power, but after thousands of years of inheritance, this power has faded to only a weak trace.

I don't know much about the history of dragon knights. Recently, I heard Le Die talk about some things about dragon knights, so I realized that there are no real dragon knights in the Green Empire, even if the Angibald royal family is in a foreign land The Royal Dragon Knights who opened up the territory are only Dragon Knights composed of Yalong and Swamp Dragon.

It is said that a real green dragon is so big that you can build a pavilion on its back. This makes me very yearn for it. If I can have such a dragon, then traveling on the Roland Continent in the future will be very gray and exciting.

Le Die occasionally rides the sub-dragon to fly in the air for a while, but I warn her not to fly when it's raining, and don't try to go through the clouds, because I'm worried that she won't be able to bear the dazzling sunlight above the clouds at once. The sub-dragon also needs to slowly adapt to the environment here.

……

I invited an elder of the Yero natives from Xinliu Valley. The Yero natives in Xinliu Valley called him the Elder of Bangalore.

It was he who was injured in the surprise attack of the giant spider at the beginning, so he took the initiative to let the strongest warrior of the tribe leave, and he chose to stay with the remnants of the tribe who could not escape the hunting and killing of the Nibru tribe spidermen. This elder has a high prestige in the hearts of the Yero natives. When I took him out of Xinliu Valley, dozens of Yero natives knelt behind him, begging to follow the Elder Bangalore.

When I took this Elder Bangalore across the portal and returned to the plane of Yero, the Elder Bangalore saw the green forest in his vision, his feet softened, and he knelt down in the muddy water , He picked up a few pieces of mud with his hands very piously and smeared it on his face, making his face dirty, and then sat in the muddy water with his eyes closed.

The eight young Yero natives who stepped out of the portal with the elder of Bangalore also imitated his movements, and their bodies were covered with mud and water.

Afterwards, the elder from Bangalore prayed under a pine tree, then peeled off a large piece of bark with a small skinning knife, found a tree vine to surround himself, and said to me very excitedly: non-stop.

His imperial language is very fluent, so I heard him say to me: "Dear lord, thank you for allowing me to return to the land of my hometown to take another look in my lifetime."

"The land of my hometown? Oh, we just signed a ten-year labor contract. After you have worked for me for ten years, you people can come back here, and I can help you prepare Some shelters are ready," I said to the Bangalore elders.

"We're having a hard time walking through this dark forest, so I need you to lead the way, oh yes, we're going here..."

As I said that, I spread a map in front of the elders in Bangalore.
