Chapter 146: Startled in the Middle of the Night

Now that it has been determined that there is a problem with this island, Krober will naturally not rashly send his soldiers to take risks.

There are currently no problems in the western part of the island, so the area around the ship is relatively safe.

So Krober planned to let them stay on the boat and go to the central area of ​​the island to explore the situation.

Krober looked at the sun that had set in the west and put the task of exploring the central island until early tomorrow morning.

Since there may be a battle tomorrow, Krober arranged for the soldiers and Griffin to keep vigil tonight, while he returned to the cabin to recharge his batteries.

night.

The soldiers who were keeping watch outside were chatting away out of boredom.

"Metz, I really envy you. You became a trainee knight at a young age. Even Lord Clobber thinks you have the potential to become a formal knight.

When you become a noble in the future, don’t forget us old guys! "

Mace shyly touched his head and smiled:

"What the hell, Brother Hans, if others don't know, don't you know me? You taught me even Common Language. How could I forget you? Besides, I may not be able to become a formal knight.

Lord Heir said that becoming an official knight requires the assistance of magic potions, but the magic potions in the Military Merit Department require too much military merit, and I have to save them for a long time. "

"Hahahahaha, you can say that, I, Old Hans, am very happy, and it is not in vain that I have taken care of you since you first came to our team.

Don't worry about the potions. We will follow the lord to explore the new island this time. There will definitely be a lot of rewards for our military exploits. You can have fun with your military exploits when you go back. "

There was no wind on the calm sea, and the only sound in the quiet atmosphere was the two men, Metz and Hans, chatting quietly.

"Speaking of which, you and the girl... tsk, what's your name? What card?"

"It's Beskar, Brother Hans."

“Oh yes, Beskar, this name is too hard to remember!

After you complete this mission, are you going to go back and marry that Beskar? "

Mentioning Beskar, a happy smile appeared on Metz's face.

"Yes, I have already submitted an application to Lord Heir. Lord Heir said that after hearing about this matter, the lord will give me a knight's sword as a gift."

Hans was shocked when he heard this.

"What? Is this a gift that the lord personally prepared for you? Dragon! How lucky are you?

I swear, I'm really jealous of you! "

Mace smiled shyly.

"I am very grateful to the lord. It was the lord who allowed me to eat every meal and gave me a name. I have already sworn that I will fight for the lord in my life until I die!"

Hans patted Mess on the shoulder and didn't say much, but Mess knew what his good brother was thinking.

All is said without saying...

But they didn't know that drastic changes had already taken place on Greenleaf Island at this time.

"rustle"

The first person to hear the strange noise was Krober, who was resting in the room. The hearing enhancement brought to him by the Earth Knight was enough to allow him to hear the faint sound of the flapping wings of insects within a few hundred meters.

He put on his armor, picked up his weapons, and rushed out of the door.

"Lord Lord!" x2

Hans and Mace, who were on alert on the deck, saw Krober suddenly appearing on the deck and bowed quickly.

Krober just waved his hand, signaling for them to get up, and then devoted all his attention to sensing the abnormal noise that had just appeared.

"It sounds like the sound of some kind of insects crawling on the ground. Are there nocturnal insects on this island?"

In this world, although there are fewer insect-type monsters, their individual combat power is weak.

But as long as insect monsters appear, they appear in groups, often causing huge population and economic losses.

Especially the ones that can fly!

But Krober didn't hear the sound of flapping wings, only the sound of scraping the ground.

"You will wake up everyone else immediately, put on weapons and equipment, and prepare for battle."

Krober ordered to Mace and Hans on the side.

"yes!"

The two nodded and immediately returned to the cabin to wake up everyone who was still sleeping.

Krober followed the sound to the island, intending to find out.

As soon as he landed on the island, Krober clearly felt that the atmosphere of the entire island had changed.

During the day, he stood on the beach and looked at the island covered with dense vegetation, feeling that it was full of life.

But now, when night falls, everything becomes completely different.

The originally bright sky was shrouded in darkness, and the moonlight weakly penetrated the clouds and could only illuminate a small part of the island.

The surrounding environment became extremely quiet, with only the bursts of rustling lingering in Krober's ears.

If ordinary people were exposed to this scene, they would probably be frightened and run away.

Krober chose to go deeper. He wanted to find out what secrets there were on this island.

Under the exploration of spiritual power, Krober discovered a strange scene.

I saw many leech-like bugs emerging from the ground on the side. These bugs should be black and about the size of a normal adult's index finger.

Their bodies were filled with mucus, and because they had just emerged from the soil, some of the soil was still hanging on their bodies.

They also walk in the same way as leeches, using muscle contraction to drive them to crawl.

After they emerged from the soil, they had no desire to hunt or attack. Instead, they climbed into the digestive fluid of the Venus flytrap and took the initiative to provide nutrition for the Venus flytrap.

This scene almost stunned Kroeber.

Could this be the magical capture method evolved by the Venus flytrap in this world?

Do they have the ability to psychedelic mind or manipulate objects?

But he did not feel the fluctuation of magic power!

Out of curiosity, Kroeber covered his hands with fighting spirit and picked up a bug from the ground.

Strangely, even if Kroeber took it off the ground, the bug still did not feel scared, let alone make an attacking gesture.

It just repeated the crawling action, even though it was no longer on the ground.

After observing the inside of the bug with fighting spirit, Kroeber found that this kind of bug should not be called a living thing.

It has no digestive system, which means it cannot eat.

Without a brain and internal organs, it has no wisdom and self-regulation ability.

It is made up of muscles all over its body, which is why it can crawl.

Rather than saying it is a bug, it is more appropriate to say it is a piece of raw meat that moves on its own.

Throwing the bug aside, Kroeber lay on the ground and observed the place where these guys crawled out.

Because the holes drilled by these bugs were relatively small, for the convenience of observation, Kroeber expanded it and dug it deeper.

This digging was incredible.

I saw that the brown soil was covered with dense rhizomes, and these rhizomes were filled with pungent odors, just like the smell that Mace found at the roots of plants at that time.

"This island is full of this kind of plants? What on earth is this?"

There are no so-called plant-type monsters in this world. All plants have only one direction of evolution, that is, elves.

Being able to spread their roots all over the island and manipulate insects to feed plants is definitely not something that ordinary plants can do.

This is definitely the work of elves.

But elves are natural and kind-hearted plant elves. How could they use such a disgusting method to maintain their own nutrition?

And he has never heard of any plant that can produce insects out of thin air.

"The more I investigate, the more questions I have. It's better to stay away from this island and wait until tomorrow when it returns to normal before going on the island to explore."

It was dark, and Kroeber didn't want to take risks in the middle of the night. It's better to choose a safe way and wait until tomorrow morning to come back.

However, this night exploration was not without gain. At least he knew what the abnormal situation of this island was.

Kroeber was sure that it was related to elves and bugs.

So when he returned to the ship, Kroeber would take out all the kerosene stored on the ship.

If things can't be done, he will directly set a big fire to turn the entire Green Leaf Island into a second scorched earth island.
