We will encounter some small spider camps along the way, which are like small hunting grounds in the eyes of the barbarian slaves.

The giant spiders hidden in the camp not only provide them with delicious food, but also make them harvest great joy during the march.

Perhaps it is the giant spiders hiding in the small spider camps that keep the barbarian slave heavy crossbow regiment always high morale.

After walking out of the dense forest of Green Valley, the tree spirits in the southern part of the Black Forest no longer help us open up the tree-lined road. Although I can still use the key of power to enter their spiritual web to obtain information about the Nibru spider warriors, the road ahead is no longer so easy to walk.

The leader walking in front of the team must cut off the mossy vines hanging from the treetops, and also open up a path in the thorns in the woods. Even if there are 3,000 native warriors in the team, it is not an easy task.

In the Black Forest, you can often see a vine called copper-skinned thorn vine.

This vine is not only tough, but also highly resistant to corrosion. The ordinary hatchet in the hands of the native warriors can only leave a very faint white mark on it. These vines hang on the branches and are weak and hang down from the top of the tree. Most of the time, the native warriors will not spend the effort to cut these vines. They usually push these vines aside. Unless they must cut the vines to pass through, they will spend some effort to cut them.

There is also a tree covered with thorns. As long as a little wound is scratched, a paralytic toxin on the thorns will make the warhorse unable to move. The native warriors will use hatchets to cut down all the thorny trees along the way in advance before allowing the construct knights to pass.

We walked for three consecutive days in the southern part of the Black Forest. In addition to seeing some small spider camps along the way, we also encountered an abandoned indigenous village. The tree houses in this village have basically been abandoned. The giant trees that built the tree houses have basically lost their vitality. The yellow leaves fell all over the ground. Only a few yellow leaves remained on the treetops. The tree houses hidden among the dense branches at the top of the giant trees were completely revealed.

When we walked into this abandoned village, we found that this tree house was much larger than we imagined. The size of the tree house was at least twice that of the Gilda tribe.

Many giant trees in the village were covered with spider silk, but the Nibru spider man could not be found.

The ruined native village was in a mess, but there was hardly a single native corpse. Some trees were entangled with white spider silk, and there were some simple spider nests. Occasionally, a few giant spiders would emerge from these spider nests. These huge giant spiders rushed over with their fangs and claws bared. The barbarian slaves stood outside the spider nests holding heavy crossbows. Several giant crossbow arrows flew out with a buzzing sound. The sharp crossbow arrows easily pierced the bodies of the giant spiders. They seemed to have not figured out what was going on, and they didn't even have the chance to wail. A lot of body fluids flowed out of the huge skin sacs, and the bodies quickly shrank and fell at the entrance of the spider nest.

When the barbarian slaves cleared these spider nests, they found some native corpses in the nests. These corpses looked white, without a trace of rotten meat on them, and there was no complete skeleton. All the bones were scattered and broken. At first glance, they were the kind of bones that had been stored for a long time. It seemed that this native tribe had fallen for a long time.

Even the orc warriors felt a little disgusted when facing these man-eating spiders hunted from the pile of bones, only the barbarian slaves had no pressure to eat them.

In the north, these hungry barbarians would also eat the imperials, so he sent them to eat the spiders.

Sometimes, the barbarian slaves would take out the spider legs that they could not finish and share them with the native warriors. They were much friendlier to the native warriors than others.

It’s just that their styles of making food are very different, so they rarely eat together.

The barbarian slaves like to enjoy the aroma of the food. As long as they simply roast it over the fire and sprinkle a little fine salt on the cracks of the shell, they will feel delicious when they eat it.

After getting the precious spider meat, the native warriors usually peeled it off, added various spices, threw some wild vegetables and fruits into the iron pot, and then cooked it over a high fire until it was mashed, and then stirred it vigorously until it became a paste, and then spread it on the wheat cakes to eat.

For these barbarian slaves, providing a little help to the native warriors may be another interesting thing besides hunting giant spiders and fighting on the battlefield.

…

Our exploration team shuttled under those white spider webs, which looked like layers of white gauze tents, which looked staggered and very layered.

Some native warriors climbed up the dead tree and went into the tree house to search for some resources stored in the tree house.

The indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe gradually found some magical herbs and dried goods in some of the tree houses. Several indigenous warriors also discovered the tree house where the great witch lived, where they found some ointments for preventing mosquito bites and some magic potions for treating damp-heat miasma stored in wooden jars. It must be said that the two kinds of magic potions prepared by the witches in the indigenous tribe are much better than the magic potions I know.

The Yero natives have always believed that magic crystals are a kind of gemstone that can be polished into exquisite ornaments. On the headdresses and pendants of many tribal leaders, you can see some magic crystal beads that have been polished into smooth and round shapes. These magic crystals also appear in front of the tree houses of some elders with high status. The natives realized the value of magic crystals after I started some trade with the Gilda tribe.

Since these natives found that a piece of magic crystal can be exchanged for a lot of baked wheat cakes, the natives began to collect these magic crystals crazily.

After three thousand native warriors joined my team, I also took on the daily supplies of these three thousand native warriors.

Usually, the food of these native warriors comes from this big forest. Basically, they eat whatever they find in the forest, including birds and beasts, nuts, wild fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms and roots and stems of some plants.

Puyaka told me that when there is a famine, they will also eat some tender skins of vines and some tender leaves in the forest. There is a kind of elm leaves in the forest that tastes slightly bitter, but it is actually not unpalatable.

Since the indigenous warriors joined, they have received a salted wheat cake every standard imperial time. There is no canned luncheon meat, but they will use some wild vegetables and fruits in the forest to cook a kind of food that tastes very strong and looks like shit, and break the wheat cake into small pieces to dip it in.

Sometimes you will find that these indigenous warriors have simple ideas, and sometimes they have some kind of obsession.

When I left the indigenous village, the indigenous leader who led 3,000 warriors found me through Puyaka. He gave me all the magic herbs and magic crystals collected from the village, and told me that these magic crystals and magic herbs were for the 3,000 indigenous warriors to get those delicious baked wheat cakes every meal...

Perhaps because of the friendship forged in battle, the indigenous warriors are much more friendly to the barbarian slaves than the orc construct warriors and the North Wind Legion construct knights.

They would tirelessly communicate with the barbarian slaves using gestures to tell them how to live in the jungle. I originally thought that the barbarian slaves from the icy tundra would not be able to stand the sultry weather in the Black Forest, the poisonous miasma in the jungle, the muddy forest paths, and the ferocious poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the forest. Unexpectedly, these barbarian slaves quickly adapted to jungle life with the help of the indigenous warriors.

Moreover, the indigenous warriors also gave the barbarian slaves the ointments with magical effects found in the tree house. It is said that these ointments are usually prepared by the great witch in the tribe, and the therapeutic effect is excellent.

When the barbarian slaves were on a forced march, they were unwilling to wear heavy black iron boots. Sometimes they preferred to walk barefoot in the muddy forest, which was the easiest way to walk. Their feet were soaked in the mud for a long time and were easily ulcerated. It was the magical ointments of the indigenous people that allowed the barbarian slaves to avoid the pain of rotten feet.

Moreover, the native warriors who have lived in the Black Forest for generations have an innate sense of smell for the magic herbs in the forest. Collecting magic herbs is as simple as digging a common wild vegetable for them. If it weren't for the hatred these native warriors carried, they might have their own happiness.

The spider army retreated completely. Our troops chased into the southern area of ​​the Black Forest, but still couldn't find any traces of the spider army.

After entering the southern area of ​​the Black Forest, we have not met any survivors of the native tribe. It seems that all the natives who can be found have been made into food by giant spiders. I didn't expect that in a few months, the southern area of ​​the Black Forest would be eroded like this.

...

After the second supply, Earl Desmond came to me and told me how important this supply was to the Construct Knights.

At the same time, he also told me that during the march, the supplies that made the construct knights feel the most intimate were not fresh buttered white bread, nor delicious fried steak, nor those fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, but those brand new pure cotton boxer briefs and shirts. It was these underwear that ensured the decency of the knights.

Unlike the cool and dry North, the Black Forest in the Hiero plane is hot and rainy in summer.

During the march, the construct knights inevitably sweat and smell sour. Of course, these are nothing for the construct knights, but the problem that follows is that when camping, if the underwear cannot be dried in time after washing, the clothes will easily become moldy.

If they are not dried, wearing these moldy wet clothes on the body is definitely a nightmare for the construct knights.

In the hot and humid environment of the jungle, wet clothes can easily breed some germs, which are the root cause of some skin diseases.

The construct knights were on horseback all day long. The long hours of riding caused some redness, swelling and erosion on the inside of their thighs. The skin that was oozing with poisonous pus was stuck to the underwear. When the underwear was opened again, sometimes a layer of bloody rotten skin would be peeled off. These conditions could only be simply treated when camping.

When they set off the next day, the knights still had to endure the pain and harden their hearts to continue wearing the hard magic pattern construct armor.

The clean underwear greatly alleviated the embarrassment of the construct knights, and Earl Desmond also got the ointment for treating damp-heat poisonous miasma from the native warriors. The skin diseases on the construct knights were effectively cured, allowing the construct knights to avoid the torture of illness.

In addition, I brought two boxes of magic rune plates from Xinliu Valley in the second batch of supplies, which completely solved the drinking water problem of the Constructed Knights. In fact, Earl Desmond also carried two water-gathering scrolls with him, but these scrolls were only prepared for emergencies. If they were used up at ordinary times, they would be useless once water was scarce.

Two hundred "water-gathering" magic rune plates were evenly distributed, and each Constructed Knights Corps was allocated 20 magic rune plates. The number of people in each squad of the Constructed Knights Corps of the North Wind Legion was 25. A Constructed Knight Corps had 20 knight squads, which means that each knight squad in the Constructed Knights Corps could be allocated a "water-gathering" magic rune plate.

In this way, after each knight squad settled down in the camp, not only did they not have to look for edible water sources and water sources for horses to drink, but they could also take a bath before going to bed. For the Constructed Knights in the North Wind Legion, these two days were particularly easy.

There have been no major battles in recent days. Only occasionally encountering some giant spiders, which are basically hunted by barbarian slaves.

The team traveled through the southern area of ​​the Black Forest, which was more like traveling in the jungle with unique scenery.

The 5,000 followers who had been following the team at the end, leading mules, were now also lightly equipped. These mules had basically nothing left except tents and a few days of marching rations. There was almost no damage to the 5,000 mules. Except for the muddy forest road that was not easy to walk, there was almost nothing to bother them.

Recently, even the camping has become very simple, and after having the "Fire Gathering" rune board, there is no need to make a fire when preparing meals. These followers are not as busy as before, and occasionally they will go into the dense forest with the indigenous warriors to collect some fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Connie and Puyaka have been following Moraya recently. They got inspiration from the ointment formula of the witch for treating damp-heat poisonous miasma to prepare a new type of magic potion suitable for construct knights to solve some problems of the construct knights.

It took nearly three days for the native warriors to bring us to the Cracked Stone Cemetery.

I stood on the crown of a giant tree and looked at the place not far away called the Cracked Stone Cemetery by the tree spirits and the natives. Countless columnar peaks emerged from the green sea. The surface of these stone peaks was full of mottled cracks. Each peak was very steep, like a broken and weathered stone pillar, and there were lush giant trees growing on the top.

From a distance, it was a stone forest with vegetation on the top.
