I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~

There was a swamp at the bottom of the depression.

The indentation itself is rounded about four kilometers in diameter, and it is shaped like a deep dish with a depth of about 50 meters. At its center, a roughly circular water surface about a kilometer in diameter still quietly reflects the sky. There are few waves because of the lack of wind. The stream flows in from the east, but the flow is thin and doesn't seem to affect the whole.

There are no rivers flowing out of the swamp. It must have gotten stuck in the ground and turned into groundwater. Perhaps the water that flowed in that way shredded the surroundings and created this depression.

The water in the swamp is clear, but it is red like light tea. The deep part in the middle looks even red and black. Is that Staine? I don't see much of it in Japan, but it seems to have occasional water quality overseas. I read it in a fishing book.

A wide variety of vegetation can be found along the shoreline, including mangrove-like exposed trees, reed-like tall grass, and green moss-like tall grass. The green is dark. It's summer, but colorful flowers are also blooming. A few dead trees in the marsh would have sunk in the course of the marsh. Beige-like white trunks don't look like bones or anything.

On the surface of the water, lotus plants grow in several places near the shore. It is not a type with open leaves at the end of the shaft like a wrench, but a type that floats on the surface like an onibus. It looks like that when a frog is on board, but unfortunately I can't find it.

There appear to be a significant number of monsters around the swamp, and there are a variety of reactions, large and small, to the perception of signs. Of course, there is a reaction in the water. It's not dead water, it's like it's alive.

And the key dragonflies are:

And you're flying.

"Hey, I heard what you said, but you're really big!

"Fu, it's different from the dragonflies I usually see."

"Oh, it looks like a human can fly with it."

There were more than five of them, as far as they could see on the camera. I think I can accomplish the request, but I think it's bigger than the size I heard. I heard that the dragonflies were two meters weak from the edge of the wings to the edge, but they were almost twice as big as the dragonflies flying over the swamp. The big guy could be over four meters. After all, if the magic elements are thick, the monster will become huge. Everyone's voice is rubbing against the prestige reflected on the monitor plane.

And it's not just the dragonflies that are on the monitor plane.

White butterflies like monkey butterflies flying around the swamp. He also has more than one meter of wings. A flower as big as a cougar can be seen in a circle of cashmere. Bee-like insects competing for butterflies and honey collection are also super-sized, with a total length of more than 20 cm. With this size, I wonder if even the males can pull a Timan? No, in that case, are the tin bees similarly large? Judging by the ratio, it is not strange to exceed 50 centimeters. Looks more dangerous than a giant claw bear. Let's hope he's not here.

"It's a kingdom of giant insects. It's like I'm getting smaller."

"Here, I'm a little scared of this boulder."

You're about to get eaten.

"... the clams aren't delicious. Maybe."

No heart, everybody's face is blue. Sure, if we get closer to the detour, we're going to get rodented by that big jaw. Dragonflies are carnivorous larvae and adults. The normal size dragonflies seem to be eating poop and mosquitoes, but that giant body could feed even the biggest mammals there. It's not a goblin, it's a hobby goblin. Maybe a pig can eat it. Even humans are no exception.

"It can be dangerous to get close, so let's just send in the camera and the microphone and see how it goes. There may be big bugs in the swamp or in the woods around it."

Semi and batter are not stylish if there is a huge G. We need a thorough investigation. I don't suppose the mystery has evolved into a human form, has it? Jaw.

"Yes, that's right. Bugs can flock, and it's best to keep them safe before they move!

"The herd... don't say anything scary! Subivo's out!

"Uh-oh. If I find one of the black guys in the kitchen..."

"Oh, Argna, if you say anything else, I'll skip dinner.

"Uh-oh!?"

We're all girls after all. I don't seem to like insects. Luca smiled black at Argna's inadvertent remarks. For Luka, the cook, they're nothing but enemies.

That's right, I'm a little scared of big bugs like that. I mean, I don't like insects in the first place. To be precise, it's a "swarm of insects." Almost invincible, my planar magic is one of the few natural enemies. One or two of them would be fine at all, but if they were attacked by a group, it would be a bit worse. I don't despise a lot of violence. The dragonflies won't be a problem, but the bees should be careful.

Therefore, for a while, the investigation was conducted using cameras and indication detection from outside the pockets. Safety first.

◇

Explore the magic with Sign Sensing and move the camera there to confirm. After about an hour of pragmatic work, it became clear that this depression was a paradise for giant insects.

Bugs on the ground and in the air are enormous without exception. Especially as carnivorous insects tend to become huge.

Spiders and camelids were found in carnivorous insects other than dragonflies.

Spiders, unlike the giant spiders on the outer edge of the forest, run fast. Sprinter type that chases and catches prey. The size of the extended leg is about four and a half tatami mats, much larger than the average adult male. The whole area is white gray, and the back of the abdomen is slightly brown gray with a pattern like a wisp. Thin, transparent soft hair grows all over your body, and it's creepy. Running fast and climbing trees fast. I don't want to get near this. When it appeared on the camera, there was a great scream from the female team.

Kamakiri has a white spot pattern on the brown body color, and the total length is a little over three meters. It's a little bigger than the one that some fighter fought in image training? The form was very ordinary and there were never two pairs of sickles left or right. However, the body looked stiff after it was huge. Fighting from the front can be quite a powerful enemy. Bugs are powerful.

Herbivorous insects were huge, even if they weren't as thick as dragonflies and sea lions. My natural enemy, the Inago-type bat, was able to confirm that it was over 50 centimeters, and G was able to confirm that it was about 30 centimeters. At the time of discovery, there was more screaming from the female side than from the spider. As for me, I was relieved that the mystery had not evolved. Fuji.

On the other hand, some insects were not very large. It's a classic giant ant in fantasy, but as far as I can see, it's only about five centimeters in size. No, it's big enough, but otherwise it's too big. But ants can be the hardest enemies to fight because they flock. Realistically, it's a "zero carpet." There were other dung beetles, squid, and semi, but they were all a little bigger than normal.

On the other hand, the creatures in the water were of very ordinary size, except for the goats. Some fish resembled sea cucumbers and carp and weighed more than 50 centimeters, but it was not particularly unusual for fish. Rather, it may be small for subtropical fish. Yago ate me. Goats that are 60 centimeters or more are no longer alike. It stretches my jaw.

"There's only fish and insects, right? I think there are frogs and lizards that eat insects."

"Don't let me. On the contrary, you were eaten.

"That size is possible. Maybe the beast was driven away for the same reason."

Hmm, that's impossible. I don't think there are frogs or lizards that can eat that size of insects. It's not like there's a wall, so if you're about to get eaten, you just have to get out of this depression. With a little wisdom, we will get out of this depression.

What? There's something caught in your mind right now. I don't know, something's missing, a strange discomfort. Hmm?

Well, that's good. If there were only a few of them, they wouldn't be extinct even if they were reduced by two or three. Let's hunt and get back to town. You shouldn't feel so sick if you're just such a bug. "

"Ugh, those fish eaters are my enemies! I don't mind if I cut it a little!

"... it looks disgusting"

Samantha rubs her arms with both hands. I know how you feel. I also feel itchy and weird.

Daisy seems to have a bad taste for insects, but insects are not unusual ingredients. I've heard that spiders taste like chocolate, and I've heard of butterfly pupa chocolates. But I don't feel like eating either. I have something else to eat.

Well then, it's time to go down to the swamp. If there's a big bug, hunt it and leave it alone. "

"" "" "" "Yes!

The materials you collect need not be the eyes of a dragonfly. If it's the size of a lens, it doesn't matter whether it's a bee or a hammer. Hunting a single species would not be good if the ecosystem collapsed, so it would be better not to hunt 10,000 times.

"The roots of the trees are hiding in dead leaves, so watch your step... hmm? What's the matter, Woo?

About a minute after I started going down the slope of the woodland, Woo suddenly stopped sucking on my vest hem. Her ears and tail are down and she has a troubled look.

Woo is smart. I don't bite for no reason. There's nothing unusual about perceiving signs, but I'm sure I've detected something dangerous. Something only Woo-chan feels... smell, gas? But bugs fly normally. No, it can also be a gas that works only on mammals. Let's check it out.

"Christella, check the surrounding air with the magic of a balance. Is there any strange gas in there?

Christella teaches us that air is made up of several molecules. Previously, we looked at the composition of the atmosphere and found that it was almost the same as Earth except that a few percent of the magic elements were present. If anything else is mixed with the atmospheric components of this depression, it's probably the poison gas component.

"Yes! Yes, sir!... there are a lot more magic elements than in the city, but there's nothing unusual about it. It doesn't seem to be poison gas."

"Really... yeah? Daisy, what's wrong? You look pale.

When I heard Christella's report, I saw Daisy looking ill. Her face is bluishing and she is sweating. If you look closely, Samantha is bluishing her face the same way.

"... a headache. I'm going to throw up."

"Even Atai... was feeling better just now."

"Ah! Everybody, I'll be right back! What a mess!! I don't know why, but it's dangerous here!

Hurry up and get everyone on the plane and get them out of the depression at high speed! I knew there was something here! Gas!? Bacteria!? or Magic!?

Anyway, it's an emergency!
