Chapter 779 Insect Envoy and Wall

Before actually arriving at the aboriginal village, Gordon and the others made many exaggerated guesses.

For example, on a super giant tree hundreds of meters high, treehouses are carved out like castles. The huge tree crown is full of fruits, and the vines surrounding the giant tree have become stairs and roads. Hundreds of people live there without looking crowded.

, a tree is a village.

For example, dozens of large trees are connected by complex trestles and vine ladders, forming a three-dimensional village like a spider web. Countless villagers hang on to the vines and swing around while climbing and jumping.

It's a pity that none of these imaginary scenes exist. The village is not built on trees, but on the ground.

It was an area surrounded by giant trees. It was surprisingly large. The specific area could not be confirmed yet.

A large number of shrubs, thorns and vines were artificially planted between these giant trees that had existed for who knows how many years. The space between the trees was filled up, forming a natural city wall.

The plants used to fill the "city wall" are also very particular. Hunters only recognized a small part of them. They basically have insect repellent and poisonous properties, making mosquitoes and monsters reluctant to approach this area.

.

The keen-eyed Hilda also noticed that there were some dangerous creatures living deep in the bushes, such as ant nests and poisonous wasp nests. She didn't know how the indigenous people controlled these poisons from entering the village.

of.

The hunters walked around the "city wall", but could not find the entrance or exit, and did not dare to break in. In desperation, they had no choice but to shout a few times, hoping that someone would lead the way for them.

Soon, there was a rustling sound in a large bush and vine not far from them.

Surprisingly large venomous bees were flying in all directions, with poisonous stingers at their tails as long as a little finger. If a person was stung twice, he would die suddenly without waiting for medical treatment.

Pandan, who usually wanted to pounce on bees and butterflies when she saw them, immediately hid far away.

A dark figure pushed aside the swarm of bees and walked out.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat and equipment

It was impossible to see what he was equipped with. Countless palm-sized arthropods, which should be some kind of rat woman, crawled all over his body. Except for his head, there was no gap left. It looked like a wriggling black armor. (Duan)

There are pictures in the comments, please read with caution)

As he walked, from time to time a few rat women would fall to the ground without being caught, and then immediately crawl back along his heels.

The hunters' scalps were numb at the sight.

They were used to seeing all kinds of messy little reptiles in the hunting grounds, and they still found it difficult to accept it. If it were an ordinary person here, they would probably scream out on the spot.

The rat-woman-like man was holding a long staff in his hand. There was a lamp hanging on the top of the staff, with some kind of special candle burning inside.

He waved his long staff lightly, and the poisonous wasps slithered back into the bushes and disappeared.

After driving away the poisonous queen bee, the man came to the hunters.

A strange and pungent smell penetrated their noses, and they didn't know whether it came from the candle or the countless giant rat women.

Hilda's eyes were empty as if she was thinking about something, Gale looked around and was wary of the non-existent danger behind, Hayata stood beside Gordon with a stiff smile, and pushed him from behind.

Gordon: "."

The reptile-covered aborigines looked at him quietly, with a calm expression.

He has long been accustomed to other people's rejection and strange looks. When he was wearing insect armor, most of his friends from the same village were unwilling to approach him, let alone these outsiders.

Gordon had the courage to communicate with this person, but his eyes couldn't stop drifting to those squirming reptiles, "Ah, what, cough, we are hunters from East Doruma"

After hearing Gordon briefly explain the reason, the insect wearing a bamboo hat said "hmm".

"Wait a moment, a little."

With that said, he got back into the bushes.

Gordon and the others just waited there for more than ten minutes, and when they began to wonder if they had been tricked, the insect envoy finally came back.

"come over."

The insect envoy waved to them, and following his movements, several more rat women fell to the ground.

Gordon and the others looked at each other and followed.

The insect envoy took out a handful of unknown powder, spread it on the palm of his hand and blew on the bright candle on the long staff.

Strange-colored flames ignited "whooshing", and a large cloud of pungent smoke enveloped the hunters. Gordon and others coughed, and the Elu, who had a keen sense of smell, even covered their noses. They were about to choke to death.

"Okay, come with me."

With that said, the insect envoy once again got into the bushes where countless poisonous bees were hidden. Gordon's eyes twitched, but he finally put on his helmet, locked the neck buckle, and followed.

Hayata Hilda was fine, but Gale was numb.

For the first time, she regretted her outfit. She should have worn more, such as a full set of armored dragons, which was very suitable for this situation.

The hunters plucked up their courage and followed the insect messenger who led the way into the bushes.

The huge poisonous bees were like fruit, hanging motionless on the branches. You don't need to think about it. This is the credit of the insect envoy and the choking smoke.

With professionals leading the way, it should be safe in theory, but it feels like dancing on a barrel of explosives with the safety pin unplugged.

What if?

Fortunately, the "what if" situation didn't happen. After walking through the ten-meter-wide bush belt full of poisonous bees, and squeezing in a thick and tough vine that went vertically down, they finally passed through the plant.

Wall, go inside the wall.

"Is there only one entrance and exit here? It's very troublesome to get in and out." Gale muttered as he brushed off the broken leaves stuck to his body.

The insect envoy glanced at her and said, "This is the wall, so it's hard to get through. The door is easier."

"So why don't we go through the door?"

"Far."

"All right."

Ignoring Gale's little complaint, Gordon and others looked at everything in front of them in surprise.

Compared with their delusions, the real appearance of aboriginal villages is much more "realistic".

A large area of ​​open space has been opened up within the wall, and most of the houses are made of wood. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary villages.

But the scale was far larger than they imagined. There were even dedicated commercial streets and large three- or four-story buildings. It was more like a prosperous town than a village.

As Hilda said, they are isolated, but not primitive.

Just then a figure came quickly.

Pig Chop jumped up and cheered, "It's Ansil Meow!"

Seeing their missing companions, Gordon and others' hearts dropped completely into their stomachs, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.

Even though we haven't seen each other for more than ten hours, it seems like it has been a long time.

Ancil rushed towards Gordon, thinking that the former wanted a hug. Gordon opened his arms, but Ancil was not directed at him at all.

The heavy crossbow user snatched the fierce moment [Shigure] slung on his shoulder.

Unfolding and folding, he checked the crossbow chamber with an empty pull of the trigger. After repeatedly confirming that there was no serious problem, Anhil breathed a long sigh of relief. He happily carried the precious heavy crossbow back behind his back, adjusted his armor again, and then greeted his companions briskly.

call.

"You guys found me pretty quickly."

Gordon, who had a dark face, lowered his arms, and Hayata secretly smiled.

At this time, Madder, who was suspected to be the local version of the insect stick user in the Sea of ​​​​Jiu, and the girl Xuanxue wrapped in an insect chrysalis, also followed Ancil to the hunters.

The strange, non-human appearance of Xuanxu attracts people's attention.

Gale couldn't help but blurt out, "Nima, what is this?!"
