Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

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 canopy is full of fruits. The vines surrounding the giant tree have become stairs and roads. Hundreds of people living there do not look 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 swing around on the vines while climbing and jumping.

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

It was an area surrounded by giant trees. It was surprisingly large. The specific area could not be confirmed for the time being.

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 sharp-eyed Hilda also noticed that there were some dangerous creatures living deep in the bushes, such as ant nests and poisonous bee 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 poisonous bees were flying in all directions, with poisonous stingers on 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 stepped out.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat and equipped with

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. (There are pictures in the paragraph, please click carefully)

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, but 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 bees burrowed 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 thinking about something, Gale looked around and was wary of the non-existent danger behind, Hayata stood beside Gordon with a stiff smile, pushing him from behind.

Gordon: "."

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

He had 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 wriggling reptiles, "Ah, what, cough, we are hunters from East Doruma"

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

"Wait a minute."

With that said, he ducked back into the bushes.

Gordon and the others just waited there. Ten minutes passed, 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, and a large cloud of pungent smoke enveloped the hunters. Gordon and the 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 hiding countless poisonous bees. Gordon's eyes twitched, and finally he 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 fruits, 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 felt like dancing on a barrel of explosives with the safety pin still on.

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 this the only entrance and exit here? It's very troublesome to get in and out." Gale grumbled as he shook off the broken leaves stuck on his body.

The insect master glanced at her and said, "This is a wall, it's not easy to get through, the door is easier to get through."

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

"Far."

"Okay."

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

The real appearance of the aboriginal village is much more "realistic" than their delusion.

A large area of ​​open space has been reclaimed within the wall, and most of the houses are made of wood. At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary village.

But the scale is much larger than they imagined, and there are even special commercial streets and large buildings of three or four stories high. It is more like a prosperous town than a village.

As Hilda said, they are isolated from the world, but not primitive.

At this moment, a figure came quickly.

Pork Chop jumped and cheered, "It's Anshil meow!"

Seeing the missing companions, Gordon and others' hearts completely fell back into their stomachs, and they all showed relaxed smiles on their faces.

It was only a dozen hours since we last met, but it felt like a long time.

Anshil rushed straight to Gordon, and Gordon opened his arms thinking that the former wanted to hug him, but Anshil was not coming for him at all.

The heavy crossbowman snatched the fierce moment [Shigure] from his shoulder.

He unfolded and folded it, pulled the trigger in the air to check the crossbow chamber, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no major problem, Anshil breathed a sigh of relief, happily put the precious heavy crossbow back on his back, and straightened his clothes and armor, and then greeted his companions lightly.

"You found me pretty quickly."

Gordon, who looked a little dark, put down his arms, and Hayata smiled secretly.

At this time, the suspected native version of the tree sea insect stick user, Qiancao, and the girl wrapped in the insect pupa, also followed Anshil to the hunters.

The strange appearance of the non-human spider attracted people's attention.

Gale couldn't help but blurt out, "What the hell is this?!"
