Chapter 442 Gigantic Hate Bird and Devil Vine, the Freaks Are Everywhere [Forest of the Dead]

Half a day later, as the altitude of the flying boat gradually dropped, Guta leaned on the side of the boat and saw the lifeless dense forest directly below.

Different from the chirping of birds and animals in ordinary forests, this giant virgin forest with trees generally 40 meters high is surprisingly quiet.

No, maybe it should be called...

Dead silence.

"This is where you are going." Biting the pipe on his lips, Old Zhepu looked a little dignified.

One hand firmly grasped the joystick beside him, obviously guarding for something.

Yamanashi, who had been talking to Weiwei, immediately picked up the crossbow spear at her feet and aimed it at the dense forest below.

Dimly aware of something, Nia frowned.

"Is it dangerous here, Captain Zapp?"

"Should I say it's dangerous... No, maybe I should say it's dangerous."

The old Zhepu remained vigilant about the surrounding environment, and said word by word: "Although I don't know why, this year's [Disaster Hunting] will be held here, but I have to remind you that this place is really dangerous. "

Looking at the solemn expression of the old captain, the Canglanxing team looked at each other, and they all saw the puzzlement on their faces.

"You mean... this forest?" Qiao Qiao asked in a low voice while putting on her claws like a model.

Shaking his head, Zapp was silent for a while, murmuring in a low voice.

"No, I mean everything here."

"There's no such thing as safety in this damn place."

Before the words fell, accompanied by a shrill cry, a black figure almost as big as one-third of the flying ship suddenly sprang out from the forest below.

Relying on his strong eyesight and superhuman reflexes, Guta recognized what it was in an instant.

The Hatebird, a scavenging bird, often surrounds dead or dying creatures, and is often regarded by some superstitious people as an omen of bad omen.

But this kind of bird is theoretically only the size of an ordinary small bird, and it is impossible to grow to such a large size.

Although the other party didn't seem to regard the flying ship as a target, but it was flying in this direction, Guta hesitated for a moment, and then planned to intercept it.

For him who has long-distance moves such as [Annihilation Bomb], [Refining Empty Bomb], and [Cang Rang Thunder], this is not a difficult task.

Unexpectedly, before he actually made a move, countless dense vines rushed out from the gaps in the forest leaves from the bottom of the forest, and climbed up to a height of 40 meters in one breath.

The super-giant Hatebird, who had no time to dodge, was dragged back into the vast sea of ​​trees without even a single leeway to struggle.

Then all was quiet again.

"Gudu~" Weiwei and Schiff, who was holding the side of the boat with his paws, swallowed in unison.

Then, with a look of fear on his face, he fell backwards several meters away.

"What is this?" Mie Jin wrinkled his face, and clenched the handle of the slashing ax in his hand.

To be honest, seeing such a petite girl holding such a ferocious giant axe, even an old hunter like Zhepu who claimed to be well-informed felt inexplicably discordant.

But now is not the time to think about it.

Taking a sip of his pipe, Zhepu squinted his eyes and said, "Devil vine, or...a gigantic devil vine."

"WTF!?" Guta couldn't hold back for a while, and cursed directly.

What the hell is devil vine?

Isn't that the vines that can be seen everywhere in desert areas?
Is there any similarity to the things in front of me that are as thick as bowls and can take the initiative to rush to the sky to hunt?
"Got it, this [Forest of the Dead] is such a weird and dangerous place."

Pointing to the deep forest below with a serious expression, the old Zhepu snorted meaningfully:
"Whether it's meat eaters or vegetarians, monsters or plants, almost none of them are normal here, and they are all infected by the inexplicable madness of this forest itself."

"In addition, let me remind you, don't look at the size of the hate bird just now, but here, the bigger the body, the lower the ecological niche."

"Those really dangerous guys are not only not big in size, some of them even shrink, but their own abilities and fighting power, without exception, are far stronger than their normal counterparts."

After pouring cold water on the Canglan Star team, seeing that the three people and one cat except Guta all showed hesitation on their faces, Old Zhepu threw out the last sentence.

"If you want me to say, except for this chief and that young lady, you who don't need to participate in the competition, there is no need to take this risk. Just wait until the trial is over."

Old Zhepu persuaded sincerely.

In his opinion, excluding the unfathomable [Lu E] in front of him, or adding that unobtrusive young lady, the others really have a reason to go to [Forest of the Dead] no reply.

The ghost knows why, this year the ancient dragon group will set up the gathering place for the trial here.

Are you really not afraid that the seeds will be damaged here?

All of them are future legendary hunters!

"Well, what you said is generally good, but no matter what, no matter what happens, we should face it together. This is a partner."

Guta leaned on the side of the boat with both hands, looked at the dangerous [Forest of the Dead] below, and smiled heartily.

All of them have come this way.

No, it should be said that every hunter team will encounter such problems more or less.

In a team, there is always a difference between strength and weakness, but that does not mean that when encountering danger, relatively weaker teammates have to retreat to the second line and watch other teammates hunt and fight from the sidelines.

That's not called a teammate, it's just a simple burden.

Real teammates are like-minded people who can rely on each other no matter when and where, and accompany them all the way, and they cannot be separated by the so-called dangerous place in front of them.

not to mention……

"[Forest of the Dead] Well, hehe..."

A playful smile flashed across the corner of Guta's mouth.

"Such an interesting place, don't miss it."

"Do you think so?" As he spoke, Guta turned to look at his teammates.

"That's the reason, I still hope to get some rare materials." Wei Wei muttered nonchalantly, and by the way, she raised the Frost Piao Rose who had just completed her transformation and her style had changed drastically.

"I have prepared a new weapon, the output is hard to say, but the defense is good, hehe..."

"No, what did you do to Nia's [Frost Floating Rose], be careful to make her angry."

I just realized that the heavy crossbow in front of me, which looks extremely bulky, and has an extra layer of a shield-like device in front, is actually Nia's [Frost Floating Rose] ancient tower, and pulled Wei Wei over, wondering. Whispered in her ear.

As he spoke, he still looked at Nia unnaturally, who was still smiling, and suddenly felt shuddering.

"Don't worry, I asked Nia about it before the transformation." Weiwei was very disapproving of this, and was still immersed in the complacency of her new creation.

"You, what I said earlier, Nia's temper is..."

"What's wrong with my temper?"

Before he finished speaking, an infinitely gentle voice came from Guta's ear, which made him tremble on the spot.

Turning his head to look, it was Niya who suddenly appeared behind him as if flashing.

"No...it's nothing, you have a good temper." Guta said angrily.

Seeing that these boys and girls had made up their minds, Old Zhepu sighed and stopped persuading them.

There was even some envy in my heart.

What a team, if he had this kind of partner back then, he wouldn't have...

"Well, all in all..."

After the chat was over, Guta looked at the old Zhepu and Yamanashi, the grandfather and grandson, and said with a smile, "See you next time if we are destined."

After all, he led a group of Canglan Star team members, along the thick ropes released in advance, supported the tightly bound Schiff and Snowball, and gradually disappeared in the boundless and dense green forest. middle.

A few minutes later, the end of the rope loosened, and was quickly retracted by the ship's mechanical device.

"Don't look, it's me too... Teams of this level are completely different from the ones we usually meet, so there is no need to worry about them."

Old Zhepu took a deep breath of his pipe, looked at the side of the boat with a complicated expression, and still stared at his granddaughter below.

"If you want to become a hunter in the future, grandpa will not stop you."

"I just hope that you can find such a good teammate by then, eh~"

Memories of the past flooded into my heart, and with a sigh, the flying ship gradually drove away, and finally disappeared on the distant horizon.
