Chapter 1926: Forest Monster

Danbo saw the golden holy emblem in Audrey's hand and learned that she was a paladin of the sun god. He immediately stood in awe, folded his hands and bowed deeply to the lady paladin, as if sending her as the old man to save the elephant. The messenger of Human Island.
"Audrey, don’t forget that we are a team. Your enemy is everyone’s enemy. What's more, Mr. Tanba has just helped us. We should also help the Elephant Clan to deal with the one hiding in the pepper forest. monster!"
Hailar’s ​​proposal was immediately supported by Joan and Holden, but Captain Odysseus looked a little embarrassed, and whispered to Hailar: "Miss, the elephants are so many brave and strong warriors. Can't deal with that mysterious monster, we are just a few people here... will it be too reluctant?"
Hailar stroked the ponytails, the corners of his lips evoked a confident arc.
"Mr. Captain, Joe Ann and I and Sister Zion are not flowers in a greenhouse. From the gloomy regions to the Tusk Mountains, the monsters that we slayed together are countless. What is the storm in front of us? !"
"Let's put it this way, unless the monster that harms Elephant Island has legendary strength, it is destined to not see the sun tomorrow!"
Realizing that Captain Odysseus had doubts in his eyes, he seemed to suspect that she was bragging, Hailar sighed helplessly, and could only persuade him in another way.
"Mr. Captain, don't forget, let's come to Elephant Man Island. In addition to collecting fresh water, we also want to buy some pepper. Now that the pepper forest is occupied by monsters, this business can't be done."
"If we can eliminate the monsters and sell the elephant humans as a favor, then when we talk about business, they will give some discounts. Wouldn't this be a profit?"
Captain Odysseus saw that the eldest lady had decided, so he reluctantly nodded his head.
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
Hailar didn’t have trouble making Captain Odysseus, let him stay on the lake with Sinbad, Gulliver, and Robinson, and continue to collect fresh water. After filling the tank, he returned to the boat and waited for news. He and Joan and Audrey , Holden, and Dolly the Parrot as the translator, led by Danbo to the Pepper Grove located in the southern part of Elephant Island.
During the journey, Holden couldn't help cursing his curiosity, and asked Danbo to find out what the monster that had tossed Elephant Man Island into depression, and how powerful it was.
Tanbo hesitated for a long time before speaking. First, he emphasized that he had not seen the monster with his own eyes. He just heard from the friends of the Coast Patrol that the monster came from the sea and looked like a dark and twisted tree.
The monster was washed up on the beach by the tide and crawled on the ground with dense roots. There are eight branches on the trunk that are as flexible as arms. Based on this characteristic of the monster, the elephant people gave it an appropriate common name called "eight claws". As for the scientific name of the tree, Danbo does not know.
Qiao An silently listened to Danbo’s description, while recalling in his mind the pages about supernatural plants in "The Illustrated Book of Valles Monsters" and the ancient documents of Yunzhong City, but he could not find records that matched the image of the "octopus tree". For the time being, I think this is a creature like the "fallen treant" and it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
However, Danbo's next recount made him realize that he was afraid that he had underestimated this mysterious "octopus tree".
"Mr. Tanba, do you say that the "octopus tree" can cast spells?"
"That's right!" The Elephant Ranger nodded solemnly, "This monster can use spells to manipulate plants to grow wildly. It is said that it can also call for lightning and create dense fog. As long as ordinary people see it from a distance, they will be scared and shudder. Stabilize the weapon."
According to Danbo's description, Qiao An can roughly guess which spell or supernatural ability corresponds to each sentence, and then make corresponding defenses.
However, as the honest Elephant Ranger reiterated many times, he lacked sufficient knowledge of the Octopus Demon Tree, and the information provided to Qiao An and his party was all from hearsay, neither dared to say that the information was absolutely accurate, and could not guarantee that it was comprehensive. In addition to the spells mentioned by Danbo, the Octopus Demon Tree may have even more powerful power. Who can say this!
Five people and one bird talked while walking, bypassing the hills and entering the densely forested gorge. The pepper forest is located in the deep part of the gorge on the edge of the coast.
In late September, the pepper was already ripe, and Qiao An saw pepper vines climbing around the tree far away from here, clusters of crimson berries hidden among the green leaves, and a pungent and rich fragrance drifting in the wind.
The mountain road into the woods has been blocked by the elephant guard. A group of foreigners dressed as mercenaries are blocked at the intersection. There are 21 people in total, except for the leader, all wearing chain armor, half holding a spear, and half holding a magic crystal. rifle.
The mercenary leader is a young man in a robes, who is arguing fiercely with the captain of the guard, and makes gestures from time to time to emphasize his dissatisfaction.
"Danbo, what is the origin of those people?" Hailar asked in a low voice.
"They are the Feizhen colonists from Jotunheim. The leader, Mr. Johnson, is a mage. He came to our island and planned to purchase pepper. Knowing that the pepper forest was occupied by monsters, he offered to help us destroy the monsters. After the monster is dead, all the ripe peppers in this forest belong to them."
"Hey! These gangsters are really greedy!" Hailar smacked his lips and suddenly sneered. The target ranger said, "Danbo, you go to the captain of the guard immediately and tell him that we are also deliberately attacking Lin Zhong. A monster, and we are not as greedy as Fei Zhen. After the matter is done, half of the mature pepper in the forest will be given to us!"
Danbo nodded and walked quickly to the checkpoint.
"Sister Cai Mi, you kill halfway to grab business like this, and the real profiteer named Johnson opposite, I am afraid I will hate you!" Holden said with a wry smile.
"Competition is inevitable when doing business. Don't do this business as soon as possible for fear of offending people." Hailar said nonchalantly.
Sure enough, as Holden was worried, Johnson heard Danbo talking with the captain of the guard and realized that a competitor was entering the field, and immediately turned his head to cast an angry gaze at Joan and the others.
Hailar ignored his hostile attitude and led the team to the checkpoint.
Johnson saw these four extraordinary young men and women walking by his side. No one looked at him too much. He almost treated him as a cloud of air. He couldn't help but his heart was getting angry. He secretly performed "Advanced Inner Vision", planning to figure out this group first. The strength of the disruptors, and then decide whether to take action to teach them.
Qiao An was aware of Johnson’s casting actions, and then relied on his own willpower to dispel the magic power that tried to invade his mind for investigation. He was very upset with this person’s impolite behavior, and simply replied, quietly inspiring "high Inner Vision", glanced at him lightly.
