Chapter 20 The True Soul Whisper

The edge of the Suogu wood forest in front is a mark made of animal bones. Two thick and long leg bones are intersected in a cross-shaped shape and deeply inserted into the mud. Four ribs are inserted forward, backward, left and right around the cross-legged leg bones. Although the curved ribs are fixed on the ground, they are respectively contacted by the top of the curve. The skull of a beast is steadily placed on the top of the four ribs. The whole mark gives people a strange and dangerous feeling. This is the unique hunter mark of the swamp lizards.

"So, do we need to retreat for a while when we see this hunter mark?" Catherine stood cautiously outside the mark, carefully observing the sign made of bones: "I remember the guild's exchange precautions mentioned in the various races' exchanges. When encountering a hunter mark, you must wait outside the range for the swamp people to withdraw the mark before taking action."

In the records of the Adventurers Guild, there is a rough introduction to the hunter mark, which is a sign of the hunting of lizards. If you see the hunter mark in a swamp adventure, unless there are members of the lizard tribe following you, try not to enter the area divided by the mark. Once you break in, it is first of all, it is very rude to the race that sets the hunter mark. Although the lizard men are a hospitality nation, they will not have any good attitude towards those who do not care about etiquette at all. Therefore, rashly entering will make your swamp journey very difficult because you cannot get the help of the lizard men. Secondly, the scope of the hunter mark division

It means that it is the hunting ground for the lizard man. If outsiders break in, it will be a trivial matter to destroy the hunting plan of the lizard man. If some hunters are hurt by prey in turn, it is likely to cause diplomatic disputes between the lizard man race and the Adventurer Guild. The most important thing is the third point. Weapons are without eyes. If you rashly break into the hunting ground, you must be aware of being accidentally injured by the rash arrows and traps. The bow arrows and crossbow arrows of the lizard man are also inherited from the gifts of Artemis. In the Yara world, the level of spear throwing and traps is higher than that of elves. Entering the hunting ground of such a race is almost like seeking death.

In the past, girls had only seen text descriptions of hunter marks in the Adventurer's Picture Book. They had never even seen portraits, because the marks of each tribe of the Lizardman represent themselves are different. The only thing in common is that they are all spliced ​​together by animal bones, so it is difficult to draw specific appearances in the picture book. In the end, this explanation can only be made.

"Shit, let me take a look first." Garantis was not as cautious as Catherine. He walked to the mark casually and glanced at it, and then looked around in all directions: "Shit, it turns out that they are from the Swamp Skull Tribe. No wonder, hiss, this is the junction of them and the Dust Ni Tribe hunting ground. It's normal for their mark to appear. It doesn't matter, hiss, don't wait outside. Hesit, I'm very familiar with the people of the Swamp Skull Tribe. We can go in and hiss. We just take you to visit the hunting scenes of our tribe, which you should have never seen before."

"Don't you look rude?" Lina still maintained a holy posture and said in a gentle voice: "If you offend the other person, forget it. Don't violate other people's habits just to hurry up."

"Don't worry, if I follow you, you won't offend them. Hiss, we are all familiar with each other's taboos, so it's absolutely fine." Garantis comforted: "Don't worry about being accidentally injured or hissing. Everyone knows how to avoid traps from other tribes, just follow me. First, hissing. Let's go in first, and then climb trees after a distance, and go to the upper world."

Several girls followed Garantis cautiously and crossed the dividing line marked by the hunter's mark. After crossing the dividing line, they walked into the depths for less than three minutes. Among the five girls, except for Eva, the other four changed their faces at the same time. In their hearts, countless people suddenly called low and slow. The sound of shouting seemed to come from the depths of their souls, born with a heart-pounding power. The call was actually just repeating a sentence. Many people said to them at the same time: "Get back, retreat, and exit the hunting ground. This is our hunting time, and exit immediately."

"Is this the whisper of the soul?" Vivian murmured: "It turns out to be similar to the previous feeling, but there is a little more depression, and why are there so many people? It's so noisy."

"It's really noisy." Catherine couldn't help frowning, wanting to block her ears, but she knew it wouldn't work, so she rationally gave up this behavior: "This can be regarded as a mental attack, I'm dying of a headache."

"Huh?" Freya whispered in surprise, her face relaxed with discomfort, and she said in confusion: "Strange, the sound suddenly disappeared. Is there something going on? Or did they give up expelling us? Why did the sound disappear all of a sudden?"

"Because I talked to their leaders in the same way, hissing, they knew I was following, hissing, so they would not drive you away anymore." Garantis explained: "They were anxious to drive you away, mainly because they were afraid of hurting you by chance. Hissing, it was strange to say, hissing, this time they were particularly nervous and hissing, and there were a lot of participants. Let's go and take a look, hissing, I think something special must have happened, hissing, otherwise ordinary hunting would not be like this."

"Can you find their location?" Catherine asked, "If you go to the upper world of the treetops, it should be difficult to see the situation below, isn't it even harder to find?"

"They will come to find me." After the Lizardman asserted with certainty, he patted a Suogumu beside him: "Go up from here, I'll go up first, you can find me by crawling up."

The bark of Suogu wood is soft and elastic, with embedded wood grains on the surface, and it does not grow nearly vertically like poplar or sycamore trees. There are many raised wood tumors on the trunk, which is very convenient to climb. And after climbing for more than ten meters, it enters a dense branch and leaf layer, and the downward vision is quickly blocked by the branches and leaves, so there will be no fear caused by excessive height, which affects the climb. Therefore, girls, even members like Vivian who are relatively weak, can easily climb up under the protection of Catherine.
