Chapter 1926 Forest Monster
Danbo saw the golden holy emblem in Audrey's hand, and knew that she was a paladin of the sun god. He immediately stood in awe, folded his hands and bowed deeply to Miss paladin, as if he regarded her as the old man sent to save the elephant. Messenger of the Isle of Man.
"Audrey, don't forget that we are a team. Your enemy is everyone's enemy. What's more, Mr. Danbo helped us just now. It is reasonable for us to help the elephant people deal with the one hiding in the pepper forest. monster!"
Hailar's proposal was immediately supported by Joan and Holden, but Captain Odysseus looked a little embarrassed, and whispered to Hailar: "Miss, there are many brave and strong warriors in the elephant people, even they If we can't deal with that mysterious monster, there are only a few of us here... Is it too reluctant?"
Hailar caressed the ponytails, and the corners of his lips curled up in a confident arc.
"Mr. Captain, Joan, I, and the Zion siblings are not flowers in a greenhouse. From the Underdark to the Tusk Mountains, we have killed countless monsters together. What is the storm in front of us? !"
"Let's put it this way, unless the monster that plagued Elephant Man Island has legendary strength, it is doomed not to see the sun of tomorrow!"
Seeing doubts in Captain Odysseus' eyes, as if he suspected that she was bragging, Hyrule sighed helplessly, and could only persuade him in another way.
"Mr. Captain, don't forget that when we came to Elephant Man Island, in addition to collecting fresh water, we also wanted to buy some pepper. Now that the pepper forest is occupied by monsters, this business cannot be done."
"If we can eliminate the monsters and sell the Elephant Human Race as a favor, they will give some discounts when we discuss business next. Wouldn't this be a profit?"
Captain Odysseus saw that the young lady had made up her mind, so she nodded reluctantly.
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
Hailar did not make it difficult for Captain Odysseus, let him stay by the lake with Sinbad, Gulliver, and Robinson, continue to collect fresh water, and return to the ship after filling the water tank to wait for news. , Holden, and the parrot Dolly, who acts as an interpreter, are led by Danbo to the pepper forest in the south of Elephant Man Island.
During the journey, Holden couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Danbo what the monster that tossed the Elephant Man Island into depression looked like and how powerful it was.
Danbo hesitated for a long time before speaking. First, he emphasized that he had never seen the monster with his own eyes. He just heard from friends in the coast patrol that the monster drifted from the sea and looked like a dark and twisted tree.
The monster was washed up on the beach by the tide, and crawled close to the ground with dense roots. There were eight flexible branches on the trunk like arms. tree", as for what its scientific name is, Tanba does not know.
Qiao An silently listened to Danbo's description, and at the same time recalled in his mind the pages about supernatural plants in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Handbook" and the ancient documents of Cloudsdale, but he couldn't find any records that matched the image of the "octopus tree". Let's just think that this is a creature like "Fallen Treant", it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
However, Danbo's subsequent narration made him realize that he might have underestimated this mysterious "octopus tree".
"Mr. Tanba, you said that the 'octopus tree' can cast spells?"
"That's right!" The Elephant Man ranger nodded solemnly, "This monster can cast spells to control plants to grow wildly. It is said that it can also call thunder and lightning and create dense fog. Ordinary people will be terrified when they see it from a distance. Hold your weapon steady."
According to Danbo's description, Joan can roughly guess which spell or supernatural ability each of his words corresponds to, and then make corresponding precautions.
However, as the honest Elephant Ranger has reiterated many times, he lacks sufficient understanding of the Octopus Demon Tree, and the information provided to Qiao An and his party is all from hearsay. He neither dares to say that the information is absolutely accurate, nor can he guarantee that it is comprehensive. In addition to the spells mentioned by Danbo just now, the Octopus Demon Tree may have more powerful powers, who can say for sure!
Five people and one bird chatted while walking, bypassed the hills, and walked into the densely forested canyon. The pepper forest is located in the depths of the canyon near the coast.
In late September, peppers are already ripe, and Joan can see pepper vines climbing around the trees from a long distance away. Strings of dark red berries are hidden among the green leaves, and the spicy and strong aroma is blown by the wind.
The mountain road into the woods has been blocked by the Elephant Guards. A group of outsiders dressed as mercenaries are blocked at the intersection. There are 21 people in total. Except for the leader, all of them are wearing mail armor, half of them are holding spears, and half of them are wearing magic crystals rifle.
The mercenary leader was a young man in a robe, who was arguing fiercely with the captain of the guard, and made gestures from time to time to emphasize his dissatisfaction.
"Danbo, what is the origin of that group of people?" Hailaer asked in a low voice.
"They are Fizen colonists from Jotunheim. The leader, Mr. Johnson, is a mage. He came to our island to buy pepper. When he learned that the pepper forest was occupied by monsters, he offered to help us eliminate the monsters. After the monster is dead, all the peppers that ripen in this wood will be theirs."
"Hey! These Feizhen guys are really greedy!" Hailaer smacked his lips, suddenly sneered, and said to the ranger, "Danbo, you go to the captain of the guard immediately and tell him that we also intend to deal with Lin Zhong And we're not as greedy as the Fizens, and when it's done, just give us half of the crop of pepper that's ripe in the woods!"
Danbo nodded, and walked quickly to the checkpoint.
"Miss Cai, if you come out halfway to grab business like this, the profiteer named Johnson on the opposite side will hate you to death!" Holden said with a wry smile.
"Competition is unavoidable in business, so if you are afraid of offending people, don't do this business as soon as possible." Hailaer said nonchalantly.
Sure enough, just as Holden was worried about, Johnson heard Danbo talking with the captain of the guard, realized that a competitor had entered the field, and immediately turned his head to cast an angry look at Joan and the others.
Hailar ignored his hostile attitude and led the team to the checkpoint.
Seeing these four handsome young men and women walking past him, no one gave him a second look, and he was treated like a cloud of air. The strength of the spoilers, and then decide whether to take action to teach them.
Qiao An noticed Johnson's spellcasting action, and in a flash, he relied on his own willpower to reject the magic power that tried to invade his mind for investigation. Inner Vision", and glanced at him lightly.
