Chapter 2405 Green Terror (Ⅲ)

Chapter 16 The Green Terror (Ⅲ)

The small team led by Mr. Pinkerton is of course not comparable in size to the investigation team organized by the military, but the average strength of the team members is one level higher than the military investigation team.

The team leader Pinkerton is a level 14 ranger, Audrey has been promoted to level 12 "Azur Knight", Holden is a level 11 poet, Hyrule is a level 13 magic warrior, and even Hyrule's magic pet enlightenment parrot "Dolly" Has 2 Warlock levels.

In addition to the "Colorful Jet" that she was born with, Dolly also newly awakened two magics - "Laughter Technique" and "Magic Missile".

The professional mix of this team is also very reasonable. There are rangers who are responsible for tracking and tracing, paladins who specialize in defense and healing, violent female swordsmen who are both skilled in magic and martial arts, and a jack-of-all-trades poet who can do everything.

In Joan's view, unless he encounters a powerful enemy at the legendary level, the investigation team led by Mr. Pinkerton will at least have no problem protecting himself.

However, it was not long before his optimistic expectations were shaken by a series of bizarre events.

On the morning of August 2, Joan received the first letter from the investigation team, written by Hailar.

At the time of writing this letter, Hailar and his party had arrived on the east bank of the Vimul River and were investigating the outskirts of the mysterious green field that engulfed Grizzly Town.

“We visited Grizzly Town last spring, and we still remember that the area where the market town is located is located on the riverside plain. The nearby forests have long been cut down by local residents, and they were dragged back to the town to build wooden houses. However, we came back a year later. Here, we hardly recognize the place."

In the letter, Hailaer described to Joan the confusion and surprise when he revisited his hometown.

"The riverside field where only sparse grass originally grew is now covered by dense jungle. Big trees over a hundred feet in height can be seen everywhere, and vines and thorn bushes grow between the tall trees, like a natural fence. Outsiders who enter this green sea are kept out, sounding a silent warning."

"We rode around the outskirts of the green field and wanted to find a local as a guide. Unfortunately, the residents of the nearby colonial settlements were frightened by the change that happened in Grizzly Town, and fled back to the east as early as a week ago."

"The camp abandoned by the colonists is now occupied by the Asa natives. Although we have repeatedly shown our goodwill, we cannot change the indifference of these natives. They don't trust the white people, even their friends who once fought side by side with them."

"Later, the little hooligan played some tricks and got close to an elder sister of the Asa tribe by virtue of his thick skin and flattering words. Finally, he finally figured out the real reason why the aborigines refused to be our guides."

"It turns out that the local Asa people have received a ban from Shizhu Town, not to approach within 7 miles of Grizzly Town. Anyone who violates the ban will be cursed and turned into an unconscious plant or mushroom."

"If this is true, we have to worry that the residents of Grizzly Town, as well as those investigators who entered the Green Sea before, may have been cursed and become a plant in the jungle, like a drop of water melting into the sea, leaving no trace at all. Searching."

"The curse in the Green Sea is indeed terrifying, but everyone doesn't want to give up on the adventure because of it. Besides, Audrey and the little rascal can cast spells to remove the curse, and I, Uncle Pinkerton, have prepared enough anti-curse potions. Don't be afraid of the curse."

"The four of us unanimously decided to continue to Grizzly Town. Due to the lack of a guide to lead the way, everyone had to be cautious about the next itinerary."

"Standing on the ground, we can't see Grizzly Town engulfed by the jungle. It is necessary to cast a spell to fly up to the sky and overlook the green field below. During the time when the light is strongest at noon, the sight can barely penetrate the layers of greenery. In the shade, and seeing a steeple-like building covered with vines, one can imagine that it is the landmark building of Grizzly Town - the church bell tower."

"We all still remember that the church is located in the very center of the town, and the green field spreads out from here in a circular distribution. After a rough calculation, the radius is about 7 miles, which coincides with the restricted area mentioned by the Asa woman. "

"Mr. Pinkerton believes that such a regular green field must be the product of some kind of magic or supernatural power, but we can't think of any spell with such powerful power that it will be so powerful overnight. A vast area is transformed into a primitive jungle, and at the same time, it can curse thousands of local residents and more livestock, and finally transform all humans and animals into mindless fungi and plants. The more you think about it, the more it makes people feel fear!"

Hailar's letter ended here, and Joan fell into deep thought after reading it.

The magic that makes plants grow rapidly usually belongs to the category of "natural magic", the most typical of which is the 3-ring "plant growth".

However, the area of ​​effect of "plant growth" is only a radius of 100 feet. Even if this spell is upgraded to the 9th level, it is not enough to cover a vast field with a radius of 7 miles.

As for turning living humans and animals into plants, "vegetative growth" has no such magical power.

Joan remembered that when the "mother of the wolf" Angel Boda attacked the Styx Temple last winter, he cast a natural magic called "High Tree Curse", turning the female knight Hilde into a Treants at her disposal.

Later, he inquired with Kandy, and learned that the 8-level "higher tree-turning curse" also had a lower-level version of the 4-ring "tree-turning curse", which could permanently turn the subject into a plant.

Regardless of the "Treeization Curse" or the "Advanced Treeization Curse", the target of the spell is only one creature, and it is impossible to turn the entire town of people and animals into plants.

This mysterious field covering Grizzly Town has both the characteristics of "plant growth" and "tree transformation curse", and its influence range is so wide, it may be legendary magic or supernatural power.

Thinking of this, Joan couldn't help but feel worried about the situation of Hailar and the others, and hesitated whether to write back to persuade them to give up exploring Grizzly Town.

At this moment, there was a wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red light appeared out of thin air.

Joan held the ball of light, and then realized that the sender of the letter this time was changed to Audrey, and the content of the letter disturbed him even more than the letter from Hailar just now.

"We used spells to detect in the air, and after confirming the location of Grizzly Town, we aimed at the church bell tower covered in vines. We planned to land near the bell tower first, and then carefully search the entire town."

"The four of us lowered our flight altitude, and as soon as we got close to the top of the bell tower, a large group of monsters perched on the top of the tower and the surrounding tree canopy were alarmed, flying into the air in groups and besieging us like a group of crazy birds of prey! "
