Chapter 176 The Waking Arrow Mouse

More than a dozen eyes were neatly concentrated on the person who was making low voices. Everyone could hear it. It was Anne's voice floating in the air. However, no one was nervous, because it was easy to hear that the little guy's low voice was not terror, but just surprise and panic.

"Shh." Catherine waved to the little banshee, letting the little guy float into his arms, and asked in a very low voice: "Didn't you tell me not to speak? Did you see something? Is it so surprised you."

Annie covered her mouth hard, showing a cute expression that she was determined not to make any sound. She pointed to the stream in front of her right. Before, because the little guy had been floating in the sky, her vision was much larger than that of the girls, and she could see clearly where the team could not see. The girls were about to go in the direction Annie pointed to, but when they heard Panis cough dryly and whisper: "If I were you, I wouldn't go and see, unless you don't plan to have lunch later."

The girls were stunned and hesitated and stopped looking over there. Only Lina, who was the most curious, could not suppress the impulse in her heart. She pulled Eva expressionless face and deviated a few steps towards the direction Annie pointed, and then saw something that made Annie couldn't help but exclaim.

Those were three corpses, the corpses of three arrow rats. The corpses fell on the bank of the stream. If they were not for their appearance characteristics that were too obvious, it would be difficult to tell which creature they were originally. The corpses looked like they had just died for only two days, and the surface was not completely decayed, and the white spikes were softly rolled on the surface and did not fall off. Similar animal corpses Lina often encountered in the wild, and there was nothing strange. However, if you observe the corpses carefully, you will find the difference between these three corpses.

Although their body surfaces are not completely rotten, they grow dense bubbles as thick as thumbs. The blisters are round and full, and viscous liquid seeps out from the surface of the blisters. Some blisters have broken and ulcerated, forming deep pits on the surface of the body. Dozens of thin granulites grow out of each deep pit. The dense stuff makes people feel cold all over when they look at it. As the granulites poke out their heads, purple-black pus and blood continue to seep out of the deep pits, and as the wind blows, it emits a smell of fishy smell.

"Bang", a bubble broke just under Lina's gaze. The black bubble burst like a burst of berries. The liquid inside splashed everywhere, causing spots of liquid splashing on the ground. A ball of colloid wrapped in black slurry was sprayed out with the force of the blister's explosion. It sagged beside the stream like a pool of water, wriggling into the stream little by little. It may be that the distance between the corpse was a bit far, or it may be that the time for the spraying was not appropriate. The colloid stopped less than thirty centimeters away from the stream and could no longer move. A few seconds later, under the scorching of the sun, the gelatinous liquid began to dehydrate and dry up quickly, and finally only left a dry film by the stream.

"Uh..." The dense holes made Lina's bare scalp numb, and finally the blisters that exploded destroyed the last line of defense in the girl's heart. Lina couldn't help but retching, pulling Eva, who seemed to have no idea why the priest girl had such behavior, quickly returned to the team together, and her already fair face turned paler.

"Look, I said, don't go see it if you want to have lunch." Panis shrugged and said in a low voice with a smirk, "I'm afraid no one wants to watch that scene again after watching it once."

"Bastard." Lina gritted her teeth and glared at Panis fiercely, but she couldn't blame Panis for not reminding her. She could only bit Panis countless times in her heart. Her face calmed down a little.

However, I have to admit that after Lina's sacrifice, the atmosphere in the team has become much more relaxed. The pressure that had been falling in the hearts of the girls like a stone was unintentionally released. The girls found that the perception of these arrow rats was not so keen, and they were not as expected, as the sound of gasping sounds would alarm them.

After crossing the stream and walking for a few minutes, the girls found that the surrounding environment was changing little by little. There was no tree around before. At first glance, there was no green grass. However, after crossing the stream, trees gradually appeared. Although they were all short trees only a few meters tall, they did not seem so monotonous on the grassland. Under the short trees, groups of animals were leisurely lying under the trees to enjoy the coolness, and their calm expressions could not tell that they were living in the forest of death. A little further away, it seemed that there was a small commotion under the tree. From a distance, there seemed to be a conflict between the two short-tailed kulan sheep because of the competition for their spouses. The two pairs of thick horns were fighting each other. The people around them seemed to be accustomed to this, and they didn't even look at it. They just calmly lowered their heads and ate the green grass on the ground.

Everything seems so peaceful. Compared with the Shining Forest and the Warcraft Jungle, this forest is like the most comfortable tourist place, and there is no risk at all. However, the Death Forest is so special. The Shining Forest and the Warcraft Forest can see danger at a glance, and it will make the intruders tense from beginning to end. However, the terrifying thing about the Death Forest is the murderous intent of the forest, which is always hidden under the tranquility appearance. The intruders only see peace and peace, but once they relax their vigilance because they see it, they often have no chance to be vigilant again.

"Buzz", just as the girls' hearts were slowly letting go and no longer as nervous as they were just now, a low vibration sound rang beside them. When they turned their heads, they saw that the feather arrows on Her Majesty the Elf Queen's Hunting Bow had disappeared, and no one saw the process of pulling the bow and shooting the archery. All they saw in their eyes was that the feather arrow suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared again.

The feather arrow that appeared again had been deeply nailed into the soil of the distant grassland. On the shaft was a big rat with a snow-white body and curly hair on its back. The arrow rat had just crawled out of the cave and only had one head exposed. Before the body could climb out of the nest, it was ruthlessly nailed to the ground by Her Majesty's feather arrow. The feather arrow shot diagonally from its eye socket, penetrated half of its brain, and then penetrated from under its neck. The brain was directly destroyed, making the arrow rat not even have the chance to struggle, and he had lost consciousness forever.

"It must have just come out." Panis seemed to have seen Her Majesty's arrow skills, and he did not express any surprise at all. He just asked calmly: "How long has it been drilled out of the hole?"

"In less than three seconds." Flar pulled out a feather arrow and put it on the string, and replied affirmatively: "I had sensed it before it came out of the hole, so I was very sure that it didn't last more than three seconds."

"That's fine." Panis nodded and said, "Looking at this point from the angle of its cave, it happened to be blocked by a bush. In theory, it would be impossible for it to discover us before your arrow hit him. It was a blessing in disgrace."

"But its appearance represents a sign." This is a conversation between two jungle survival masters who can treat the jungle as their home. Others have no room for interruption. Even Arcmene, who is also a hunter, cannot be inserted into the tacit understanding between the two due to environmental differences. Flar said seriously: "I can basically be sure that it was not disturbed by external interference, it was what he wanted to get out of."

"So, do you think they're out of activity ahead of time?" Panis frowned and said, "In theory, this is against their nature, but accidents are always inevitable. Well, it's almost half past nine. Let's speed up and run."

"If you run, won't you startle more arrow rats?" Catherine asked, "What if you startle more?"

"Now we are only ten minutes away from the end of the grassland to run quickly." Pannis was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Even if we encounter arrow rats, the number will not be large. If one or two are just cleaned up, and if there are more than ten, open the shield and rush over. If there are too many, Vivian, your bottle will keep throwing forward and use flames to open the way for us. Don't worry, although arrow rats are not afraid of fire, they are afraid of smoke, or they are not suitable for the smoke environment. At this time, we can use the cover of thick smoke to pass quickly. Don't worry, as long as they are not dragged by them, they will not pose too much threat to us."

"I understand, that is to say, there is no need to consider the sound and vibration anymore, right?" Catherine nodded, opened a separate backpack behind her back, and took out her treasured kite shield from it. Although she had only been separated for a few hours, Catherine was still full of joy for the reunion. She carefully put the giant shield on her left arm and fixed it. She was about to use a one-handed sword to hit it twice, but at the last moment she realized the current situation and put down her right hand with a smirk.

"Sure." Flar's soft expression became solemn. The speed of speech made the elf's already fast-paced accent faster, sounding like the sound of turbulent water: "There are more and more movements. It seems that they are really preparing to move in advance today. Is it really related to the changes in the energy of the earth's veins?"
