Episode 685: Let's go back to the Dark Forest.
◎ Neighborhood of Road Zoran Great Forest
"Ha... Mr. Louise, I hope we can catch a lot of Forest Lobsters"
The day after there was a battle with the Platinum Tooth Tigers, the wind sounds that came on Yucconeer until the Dark Forest "Road Zoran Great Forest" again stopped Yucconeer before saying so.
"Jurli"
Then Yodale drowned a little, and Yucconeer's back, and the wind sounded "Ha" and wiped it.
I've already given Louise a map of the address of the Forest Lobster I discovered yesterday before the wind left the cottage. Louise and the others should be on their way to the place by now, and we were planning on getting the prickly body delicious again this evening.
"The lobster fillet and cabbage soup was delicious this morning, too. I've been running out of lobsters for three meals since yesterday, but I'm not tired of it."
Did you react to the words of the wind noise. The bow flower said so, and the wind noise nodded unuzzly.
"It was boiled yesterday, and maybe I can cook it and eat it tonight. I'm planning on getting a raw one."
The wind sounds have been boiled intact, but Louise and the others plan to catch them alive as much as they can. If the tatsuo preserves it in crystallization, it is possible to keep it fresh rather than frozen. I'm also going to help crystallize if I can afford magic when the wind sounds return, and then I should have been able to bring home quite a few forest lobsters.
"But come on. Even yesterday. Oh, you don't need mud pulling or anything like that?
"Well, the part of me that goes directly into the mud or something is good-looking anyway, because if I drain the water, it seems to lose its flavor. But I'm going to take it back later and try to mud it out."
That's how the wind answers Naoki's question.
"And a parasite or something, if it's broiled with the flames of the gods, it's okay. Hey. It might be an unwanted use for a hinokagutsuchi."
That's what the wind sounded like and saw the bowflower. The 'Flames of the Gods' emitted by the hinokagutsuchi that dwell in the body of the bowflower burns uncleanness. And unclean determinations can kill anything that harms bow flowers in order to be… for the user. It was a convenient story.
"Totally. You guys, I don't care if it's any further than the subject of rice."
I laughed bitterly after everyone got a hazy look at Jinlai's words with a frightened face. Then the wind sound of a gophone and a cough opens my mouth again.
"Well, I'll get back to you. Explain your plans for today. First of all, this is the route through the Rhode Zoran Forest yesterday."
Show everyone the photos output from the demon guide camera so that the wind noise can also be confirmed by Jinlai.
"Damn, that's a terribly detailed map. If you look at something like this, you should be able to move on without hesitation."
Jinlai had also been asked about the map window by the wind sounds and I could rely on it, but once again I knew how capable the window was and seemed surprised to see its appearance.
"So what's this red line over here?
Then Jinlai points to the route he went on yesterday and where he left off on the map in the photo. It was not only the line of the route that had passed the previous day, but also the red line was drawn within the unconfirmed field.
"Oh, that's the way to go today."
"Sister, won't you go the same route as yesterday?
Ask the wind noise as Naoki tilts his neck when he hears the words. It also seems that Bowflower was going to follow the same path with a similar reaction.
"The route we went through is supposed to be ambushed because it smells like us. Because if we look at it on a level alone, we will be vulnerable creatures in this forest, and if we try it on them, it will be a delicious prey. There's got to be some demons ahead of us thinking about the possibility of going through it again."
"Yes...... is it? The ambush is scary."
Naoki makes a tighter face than earlier and says so.
It should be noted that the statement of its wind sounds is from the perceptions made back in the days of Zexia Hearts.
Demons in the Dark Forest are strong, and in some cases even the top demons are encounted, while other demons come and secure the material over time, and using the same route of travel on top of them, they are not infrequently ambushed and annihilated, even at the kanst level. That is the forest of darkness at Zexia Hearts, and Wind Sound thought that from the feeling in yesterday's exploration it would not seem to change that in this world either.
The Dark Forest is a strong demon alone, but the more challenging cause was the situation itself, which is susceptible to surprise attacks and a series of wars.
"Well, I'm just drawing it as a guide, so I might change the route while I look at the situation."
"I don't mind that... but I'm worried you'll get there first."
Jinlai mouths a rare and negative statement.
Nevertheless, Jinlai had also cooled his liver considerably in yesterday's battle. So was the battle itself, but there was also surprise that Platinum Tooth Tiger was originally the opponent to fight in the herd, as well as the intimidation of the demons who appeared after the Platinum Tooth Tiger war. There was confidence in Jinlai that he would have been defeated if he hadn't escaped at the wedge of Naoki's return (Returners Staker). Jinlai thought that there was also the possibility of an immediate return at a time when he encountered other demons and went into battle before reaching them.
"That demon was tough."
Bowflowers also bowed a little when I remembered yesterday.
Jinlai thinks as he looks at the apprentice. I've been thinking about yesterday night about how you can defeat the Platinum Tooth Tiger on your own... and have come to the conclusion that it's not impossible. That attack speed made it possible to keep avoiding it, and the spear didn't pierce it, but the damage was done. He said he would win eventually.
"Oh, you were strong"
Jinlai returns that to his disciple.
But if you are alone, if you come in a herd, you will be well enough. You can't win without overlapping the preconditions that there is no interruption around you even on your own and if you can take the time. So Jinlai recognized that even if he could beat the Platinum Tooth Tiger, he would die in the Dark Forest.
"I don't think that platinum tooth tiger will come out early because the forest depths are basic for once. It doesn't always just come out, and other powerful ones might come out. I wonder if it depends on your luck around here."
That's what the wind said and I laughed bitterly. Naoki also raises her hand and asks the wind noise as she listens to the story.
"Sister. I was just wondering if you could combine" Residents of the Shadow World "with" Invisible Nights "and not get noticed.
Naoki's "Resident of the Shadow World" is a skill that can be activated not only in person, but also by designating a companion. But the wind shook his head to the side against the suggestion.
"Can't you?
"Hey Naoki, do you know that your job title" Dark Hero "even existed in the game?
"Oh... sounds like it"
"I don't know." Residents of the Shadow World "is a skill that players can use."
"What's that?
Naoki asks with a few mouths over her revolving sister's words.
"I mean. Naturally, it means that the Dark Forest also has such player measures if they are similar to the game. Specifically, an Astral demon is coming to Wansaka."
"Wow..."
Naoki also seems to have understood when he said so. Nor is its skill in moving itself from the present world to the Astral world absolutely invincible. Using "Residents of the Shadow World" is also tantamount to stepping into the "other" dark forest.
"In the woods, in the grieving spiritual mainstream. Once upon a time, when one of the parties tried diving, his astral body went back to its original body and died from the inside of his whole body with tears of blood. It was a terrific horror."
"Uh yeah. I'll stop it."
"I like that."
A wind noise nodded at Naoki, who said it in his face. If you do anything extra, it's the Dark Forest that leads to instant death. Naoki thought it would be sincere not to think about giving it a try.
◎ Road Zoran Great Forest
Then the wind sounds waited in front of the Rhode Zoran Great Woods until before noon, when a 24-hour restricted return wedge (Returners Staker) became available, and as it passed they proceeded through the woods hiding themselves with their skill 'Invisible Nights'.
We saw several demons on the way called Dragon Head Flowers, but were able to pass unnoticed, and in about an hour we were able to reach our destination safely.
"All right, so far so good."
Naoki says as he looks around. The place we fought yesterday with the Platinum Tooth Tigers was no longer close and there was no battle so far. But the face of the wind noise does not float.
"I don't have a problem... but the smell is tight. Hey, bowflower?
Bow flowers nod at the wind noise inquiry. The look on the bowflower's face wasn't much room either.
"Yeah. I can feel the smell of several powerful demons all around me in The Dog's Smell. Maybe, but the fact that they're here has left Dual Motor Mashirao and the demons that were there?
"A powerful demon?
Naoki frowns. The wind sounds answered that.
"Perhaps yesterday's noise became a calling water. I guess the only reason I've encountered Dragonhead Flowers is because they're demons I can't move. On the contrary, they're holding each other back in that situation, so even though we're hiding in Invisible Nights, we might not have been discovered so far."
When I heard that far, Naoki's face became rugged and I immediately looked around. Nevertheless, I can't feel anything in particular with the skill 'perception'. So even if the situation seems to be as the wind sounds and bowflowers said, it doesn't change that now is your chance.
"But can you do it now, sister?
"Maybe. It looks like the area is rough, so if it serves its purpose, we'll have time soon."
With that said, the wind noise moves Yucconeer ahead. Plus Chromal and Shippu go on. Ahead was the place we fought yesterday, and the wind sounds that reached the spot succeeded in finding Scarlet Papion feathers. But there's...
