"There are some key points to choose branches." Panis led Catherine and Eva to jump flexibly between the tree nets, and suddenly stopped on a branch, squatted down and pointed at a branch under his feet and said, "First, choose to be eliminated by Suogu wood. Suogu wood has a characteristic, because its lifespan is long, its vitality is strong, and it grows very quickly. Therefore, every Suogu wood will have many old branches that will be eliminated and fall off every year. We choose this branch to cut it, not only will it not cause harm to Suogu wood, but it will also be equivalent to cleaning up the excess burden for them, which will only benefit them. Moreover, the branches that are about to fall off have one of the biggest characteristics. Perhaps because they are about to die, the wood inside the branches will become very tight in a short time, and it is the toughest part of a Suogu wood. Use such branches to weave the ground of the camp, even if a armored cow is

If you run above, you can be assured that you will never break. Well, of course, this kind of tree net-clad cow cannot run. As for how to judge the branches that are about to be eliminated, it mainly depends on the color. Look, the normal Suogu wood has a little greenish brown on the outer skin, while the branches that are about to die are like this one. The greenish green is gone, but instead become closer to black. If it is not easy to distinguish from the color, you can just pop it with your fingers and feel it. There is an abnormal elasticity, which means it is about to die. Wait a moment, okay, look at the part of the peeled bark and hear the sound of it being popped up. The bark is very elastic, but the texture of the heart of the tree inside is like a metal with high ductility. With these three methods, it is easy to distinguish whether it belongs to the branches that are about to fall off."

"The second key point is to try not to choose branches that are too long, but not too short. As I said just now, the branches that are about to fall off are the tightest, which will increase the weight of the branches themselves and cause difficulties in handling. Moreover, after taking them back, the branches are too long and not convenient to weave. So you can probably choose these branches with a length of about four meters. Of course, if you are willing to cut about four meters from a branch that is dozens of meters long, it is also fine, but that is more troublesome, and it is better to find the right length again." The one-handed sword in Panis flashed. A branch with a thickness of an adult male's wrist is separated from the tree.

, Even if the branches are broken, they are entangled with other branches, so they do not fall under the tree, but still stay in their original position. Cut off several small branches on the branches. Pull them hard along the direction of the branches, and a finished branch has been removed. The branches seem to be unable to bear their own weight completely. The front end is curved and hang low, but no matter how small the angle is, they insist on not breaking. Panis shook the branches and said, "You have discovered that too. If you choose one that is too long, the biggest problem is that you can't pull it out at all. The longer the branches, the more branches, the harder it is to extract it from the entangled tree net."

"As for the third point, remember that the swamp is not calm. Indeed, there are almost two worlds on and below the tree net. In the lower world, you often encounter lurking monsters. There are many dangers brought by the environment. The number of monsters above will be much smaller, but don't relax your guard." Panis broke a branch and threw it not far away. Several unknown little beasts that looked like rabbits but had pointed claws to climb trees were disturbed by the branches and fled in squeaking. After disturbing the life of the little beasts, Panis explained: "There is another biological system on the tree net, most of which are small creatures, but occasionally there are swamp leopards, mud lizards, and tree badgers.

A type of medium-sized carnivorous monster that can climb trees is active in the upper level. The swamp leopard will use cyclone to slow down prey. The mud lizard has petrified rays. If it is not discovered before being attacked, it will be in danger of life once it is petrified. As for tree badgers, their survival talent is to tear the shield. There are only four creatures in the Yara world that have this ability, and they are one of them. Catherine, you have legendary shields. But if you encounter tree badgers of the same level, their minions can easily tear your fighting qi shield, so be careful when encountering them, don't use shields to resist, otherwise you will be injured. However, the most annoying thing in the upper level is not these carnivorous monsters."

"The most annoying?" Catherine was listening and carefully choosing branches to intercept them. Suddenly, she discovered the difference in meaning in Panis's words and asked in confusion: "Isn't the most dangerous? In other words, it will not cause life danger?"

"Yes, it's not the most dangerous, it's the most annoying." Panis nodded seriously and said seriously: "That's a group of small things called Suogu Rats. These animals are similar in appearance to squirrels, but their tails are not as big as squirrels and are slightly smaller than squirrels. They have very low attack power and usually feed on the tender leaves of Suogu Tree. Since this swamp is in summer all year round, Suogu Rats are also active all year round. Although Suogu Rats are weak monsters, they are generally considered harmless to humans and animals. They are even labeled as ornamental monsters in the picture book of Adventurers Guild. However, they have one of the most annoying characteristics, which is that they hold grudges. If someone disturbs them, it's okay, they will run away like some weak monsters. However, once someone hurts a member of their tribe, they will start to hold grudges."

"But since their attack power is so low, what can you do if you hold grudges?" Catherine asked in confusion: "Even if you hold grudges, you can't hurt us."

"Yes, they really cannot directly hurt us." Panis smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "But they are a group of very smart animals. To some extent, they are smarter than humans. They will avenge others, which makes people hate them very much, but helpless."

"What about?" Panis's words made Catherine interested. Unconsciously, she stopped selecting materials and asked: "Can they still attract revenge on other creatures?"

"That won't be." Panis shook his head and said, "However, what they do is worse than this. If they only attract other creatures, the enemy is still in the open and not difficult to deal with, and their revenge is in the dark. They will gather a large group of Sugu rats, at least hundreds, and take advantage of the night to take advantage of the opportunity of people camping in the upper world to quietly surround people's camps from all directions. Then, they will play the nature of rats and quietly eat the tree nets woven by the branches below the camp, causing the entire camp to collapse. It may not necessarily fall directly into the lower world, but after the camp collapses, you will not want to rest."

"Puff." Catherine covered her mouth and chuckled: "This way of revenge is too bad. If you don't have a place for a night, it will inevitably leave everyone on alert all night, and it will be very painful during the day the next day."

"Do you think this is over? That's too much of a vengeance." Panis sighed. It was obvious that his heart had been deeply hurt by the Sogura Rat: "In the next few days, as long as you still camp in the upper world, you will enjoy a camp collapse service at night. Due to the characteristics of Sogura Tree, even if you hear them eating branches, it is difficult to find their location. And even if you find them, it doesn't make any sense. There are hundreds or thousands of them, and finding dozens of them will not change the final outcome."

"It seems you're very hurtful." Catherine teased, "But you don't worry that they are still holding grudges. They will come to eat the foundation of our camp tonight?"

"They don't have that long lifespan." Panis snorted heavily and said with a pout, "This kind of hatred will not be passed down from generation to generation. At the speed of their replacement, it will not have any impact in at most five or six years. So far, there has been so many generations, and there will be no danger. As long as you don't mess with them again, there will be no problem."

"What happened a hundred years ago?" Catherine was silent for a while, and suddenly asked tentatively: "When you come with Lord Knight?"

"Yeah." Panis was silent for a longer time, and it was so long that Eva had already collected a large bundle of branches alone that she responded almost unconsciously.

"I thought you would pretend not to understand." After getting the answer, Catherine was a little stunned: "I didn't expect you to really answer."

"What should come is always something that cannot be avoided. It is meaningless to pretend to be stupid. It is better to answer directly." Panis looked at the sunset gradually falling into the horizon and whispered: "On the contrary, I thought you would have to endure it for a while, but I didn't expect you to make it clear now."

"What should come can never be avoided, right?" Catherine smiled faintly and answered his question in Panis's original words: "I am getting in touch with friends you are familiar with more and more frequently. If I don't make it clear, you will feel very tired when you are with us. You obviously have something that everyone knows in their hearts, but you still have to hide it. I don't think you will like this feeling. Since this is the case, it's better to say what should be said, which is good for you and us. But don't worry, I will only ask here. I won't ask questions that should not be asked."

"Of course I'm relieved." Panis's expression was complicated, and the meaning contained in his voice was also complicated: "If I'm not at ease with you, we won't be here together."

"Have you finished talking yet?" Ava suddenly inserted into the conversation between the two without any ups and downs. When she turned around, she saw that the little girl had already carried a bundle of branches more than four meters long. She looked at the two with expressionless expression on her face and said, "I think you are using chat to cover to avoid material selection, but now the work is over, so you don't have to continue."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Catherine then realized that she had been lazy and said with a flushed face: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it. I'll carry it back, you can rest for a while."
