"That's very good." The insect mother and several companions were overjoyed, and she continued: "I hope your companions can move faster, because we still have urgent things to do and need to rush."
"Okay, please wait for some benefactors." The leader of Manjian turned his head and shouted: "Quickly, get some delicious food to greet the benefactors, otherwise it will be too rude."
In this way, twenty or thirty tiger-headed wild beasts went to look for the materials that the insect mother wanted, and the rest began to busy preparing food to entertain everyone.
The so-called warm hospitality is nothing more than getting some fresh fish, tree fruits and other things. The human figurines, insect mothers and ice dragons are not interested, but the two gluttons, the demon mandrill and the old monkey, enjoy eating them.
Not long after, the barbarians who went to look for materials came back one after another. The leader and the insect mother counted the things they brought back, and basically got them all. However, they were searching for a kind of tiger-headed barbarian called "Sound-Absorbing Colorful Snail". Jian hasn't come back yet.
Seeing this scene, leader Manjian suddenly screamed: "Oops, I seem to have forgotten something!"
The insect mother and the guarding figurines asked at the same time: "What is it?" "Hey, you are really careless."
The leader explained: "I just forgot to remind some of my companions who were going to collect sound-absorbing snails. The 'Duckweed Swamp' they are going to is not very peaceful recently, and they may encounter ferocious beasts. Now think about it, companions We might be in danger!"
"Chief, leader, something bad is going to happen -" just as it said this, it saw several tiger-headed beasts rolling and crawling hurriedly from a distance, all of them with frightened expressions on their faces.
"Idiot, what are you doing in such a panic? Calm down." The leader of Manjian felt awe-inspiring and felt that they had lost face in front of their benefactor, so he yelled loudly: "Come here and tell us what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, listen to me..." The leader, the man, had just recovered from his shock. At this moment, he hesitated and told the story of how he and his companions went to Duckweed Swamp.
It turned out that these tiger-headed beasts hurried to the edge of the duckweed swamp, and were about to look for traces of the "sound-absorbing snails", but they encountered unexpected trouble. It turned out that there were several extremely vicious insects and beasts in the swamp. Suddenly appeared and blocked Man Jian's way.
Because they were timid and cowardly, these tiger-headed beasts were so frightened that they had no choice but to flee back in embarrassment.
"Hmph, you, you are so useless."
After hearing the story told by these companions, the leader of Manjian was so angry that he shook his head, but he thought in his heart that even if he went there in person, it would probably not change anything. After all, his family is all fighting creatures, regardless of fighting. Whoever fights has one word: lose!
At this moment, the mother insect said: "Okay, you don't have to blame them. Just tell us the location of the duckweed swamp and we will go there ourselves."
"Hehe, then, okay then, but let me be the guide and lead you there."
There was some embarrassment on the leader's face. After all, it was the one who took care of everything in the beginning, saying that he could help his benefactor collect all the materials. But now, he has to let people do it himself. Because he felt a little embarrassed, the leader volunteered to lead the way. .
…
After a while, the leader of Manjian led everyone to the edge of Duckweed Swamp.
Along the way, they can encounter many people who block the road, such as carrion-eating blue-feathered demon vultures, six-eyed black wasps with poisonous tail stings, and the like.
The Ice Demon Mandrill complained: "Hey, are there usually so many insects and beasts around this swamp?"
"No, usually there are only four or five kinds of poisonous insects in this swamp."
The leader of Manjian said inexplicably: "Because the road here is muddy and difficult to navigate, the other strange beasts in Qingmo Ridge will not easily set foot. In addition, some fierce birds of prey that are not afraid of death come to prey on poisonous insects. Others, I don't know how to do it at all." I’ve never seen it.”
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Bingjiao muttered: "In my opinion, something huge is going to happen in this duckweed swamp, right?"
"Maybe you're right." The insect mother had just said this when everyone suddenly heard screams coming from a place not too far ahead: "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak -"
"This sound seems to be made by a small beast called a 'webbed-clawed chipmunk'. It sounds like there are quite a lot of them." The leader of Manjian whispered: "This beast often digs water snails in the wet mud to feed its hunger." Maybe they know where the sound-absorbing snails are."
"In that case, let's hurry over and take a look." The mother insect dropped these words and immediately flew through the air with the ice dragon, with the tiger-headed beast chasing closely behind.
Not far ahead, hundreds of plump chipmunks with webbed claws were fighting a fierce battle with a large group of red monster insects. Both sides were hurting each other in the fierce and continuous battle. However, due to the small number of chipmunks, they gradually became smaller. At a disadvantage.
"Buzz buzz!" It was too late to say, but at that moment, more than a dozen flapping wings and hissing monster insects surrounded the three chipmunks. The other chipmunks didn't even have time to dodge or resist, and they were stabbed through the head by the long kiss from the opponent. The brain was forcibly sucked away, and the dead body fell to the ground with a thud.
"Everyone, be careful. This is a bloodthirsty water louse, one of the most ferocious poisonous insects in the duckweed swamp." At this moment, the leader of the wild beast happened to rush here with the group of beasts, so he raised his voice to remind them.
"It's just a small insect, nothing like it?" Demon Mandrill shouted eagerly, "How about you, do you want to go up and fight with the insect?"
"It's not necessary. It's best if the two sides don't help each other." The leader of Manjian shook his head and said: "According to the rules among the beasts in Qingmo Ridge, whenever two parties fight, the third party is not allowed to take action without authorization, otherwise, it will cause public outrage. of……"
"Wujiji, wujiji!" Before the leader Manjian could finish his words, the white-browed old monkey next to him roared aggressively.
What it means is that these rules are set by the beasts of Qingmo Ridge and have nothing to do with me, Old Sun. I can fight and kill whenever I want without consulting anyone. The mandrill also joined in the fun and shouted: "The hozen is right, we don't want anything else but a big fight!"
As soon as these words came out, the leader of Manjian had not said anything yet, but several demonic insects that were attacking the webbed-clawed chipmunk on the opposite side heard the sound and launched an attack on them without hesitation.
"Hahaha, how dare you take the initiative to come and die, grandpa will help you!" Demon Mandrill sneered, rushed forward quickly, opened his mouth and sprayed out a large amount of freezing breath.
"Whoosh whoosh-swish-swish-"
"Crack!" The swift cold wind mixed with the harsh sound of freezing sounded, and those vicious insects were frozen into lumps of ice.
At the same time, the old monkey suddenly threw out his short metal stick, "Whoosh! Bang bang bang!" The shadow of the stick flying in the air was blown by the wind and smashed several frozen insect bodies. "Bang!" Then, The old monkey stretched out his claws and grabbed the stick that flew back.
"Hey, hozen, that's a good trick." Seeing this, the mandrill subconsciously praised it.
