Chapter 459 The action begins, exploring the dense forest
The next morning, everyone set out towards the territory occupied by the goddess of the dense forest, and Fujimaru Ritsuka also decided to act with everyone.
Of course, she won't get involved this time either, just because this operation will take at least two or three days. Her main task is to continue teaching Gudav the Shadow Summoning Technique on the road.
By the way, in addition to defeating the jungle goddess Quetzalcoatl, their mission this time also needs to bring back an artifact kept in Eridu - [Marduk's hand axe].
[Marduk's Hand Ax], as the name suggests, is the weapon held by the opponent, and Marduk is the supreme god and the king of gods in Sumerian mythology.
In Sumerian mythology, he led the gods to defeat the creation goddess Tiamat and her army of monsters, creating the world today.
According to legend, [Marduk's hand axe] once cut off Tiamat's neck and used it to deal with Gorgon, the goddess of warcraft who now has Tiamat's abilities. It can be said that it is the best.
Eridu, where this ax is now kept, happens to be within the territory occupied by the Jungle Goddess.
To defeat Quetzalcoatl and recover [Marduk's Handaxe], this is their entire mission for this operation.
…
…
Everyone went all the way south and finally arrived at the territory occupied by the other party. Since the territory occupied by the other party included several cities, they did not know where the other party would be, so the first task was to conduct an investigation.
The destination of their first stop was located in the northernmost part of the area occupied by the opponent, and it was also the city of Ur where they had planned to set out to investigate.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the opponent's territory, they suffered a heavy blow.
"It's so hot!"
Merlin struggled to walk in the mud with his staff and complained feebly:
"There are so many flies, the road is so difficult to walk, the humid heat blowing in my face, and the strong ether... it's really unbearable..."
"The concentration of magic power here is already that of a different world with a unique barrier level, right?!"
"Is that so? Sorry, the measuring device here is very good."
Doctor Roman from Chaldea responded with some embarrassment. Looking at the scenery and other environmental data transmitted back, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"No wonder the other party is called the goddess of the jungle!"
"As a result, the environment in front of me has completely deviated from the landforms that Mesopotamia should have. Whether it is vegetation or the environment, it has completely looked like a tropical rain forest!"
Gudafu habitually wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the surrounding environment, and said with some surprise: "Can such a huge tropical rainforest be created out of thin air?"
Da Vinci smiled and explained: "The other party is the supreme god in South American mythology. It can be said to be expected to have such a powerful power."
"In the [Three Goddesses Alliance], the one with the strongest comprehensive strength and the greatest threat to us is undoubtedly the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon and her forces."
"However, if the scope is limited to individuals, I'm afraid Quetzalcoatl, the Quetzalcoatl, is the strongest among the three goddesses, right?"
"Is this so..."
After listening to Da Vinci's explanation, Guddav had a clearer understanding of Quetzalcoatl's abilities.
If the other party can really join them, the decisive battle with the Goddess of Warcraft will probably go more smoothly, right?
On the way, Gudafu had told everyone his idea, which was to try to win over the other party, and got everyone's support.
It would be great if you really win over the other party, but even if you fail, it will just bring the plan back to its original starting point.
Let’s get back to the point.
"Looking from the map, if we walk half an hour south, we should be able to reach the city of Ur."
Looking at Gudafu who was sweating profusely, Ma Xiu encouraged him: "The situation in the city should be better than it is now. Come on, senior!"
"Um."
Gudav nodded with difficulty and continued to drag his body forward, while Merlin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, then rolled his eyes and quietly moved towards Mashu.
However, the next moment, a sharp sickle was pressed against his neck. Anna said in disgust:
"Stay away from us, or I'll kill you." "Fu~! Fu~!"
Fufu stood on Mashu's shoulder and yelled at Merlin several times with the same disgust, sounding like she was chasing someone away.
However, Merlin shamelessly nudged forward again and said with a sneer:
"There's no need to be so harsh on me, right? I just want to get some air conditioning."
In fact, it is completely different from the embarrassing images of Guddav and Merlin who are sweating profusely. On the other side, Matthew, Anna, Ishtar and even Fufu did not shed even a drop of sweat and were in a very relaxed state, as if On an outing in general.
The key to the difference lies in Fujimaru Ritsuka surrounded by girls.
With the ability to master eight types of weather, she is in a sense a super humanoid air conditioner. The moment she enters the jungle, she immediately creates a cool space around her.
The girls headed by Ishtar and Fufu did not hesitate to occupy the position next to her and surrounded her.
Seeing Anna's resolute attitude and no intention of giving in, Merlin had no choice but to look past her and cast his eyes on Fujimaru Ritsuka in the center and said:
"Let me tell you, can't you expand the scope of your abilities?"
"I'd like to if I could."
Fujimaru Ritsuka spread his hands with an innocent face and said: "But unfortunately, my ability is completely suppressed by the opponent here. Being able to cover the area around me is already the limit for me."
As she spoke, she created a cool breeze that blew towards Merlin and Guddav, slightly relieving their heat.
But, that's it at most.
Just as Merlin said just now, the concentration of magic power in this tropical rain forest has reached the level of an inherent barrier, which is equivalent to her own domain created by Quetzalcoatl.
Although there is no problem in using the ability on a small scale, it is still a bit difficult to modify the weather at will in the realm created by the Supreme God.
What's more, they are now preparing to sneak into Ur City and try to find out as much information about the other party as possible.
There is also the risk of exposing them if abilities are overused.
"well."
Merlin stopped, rested for a moment, sighed deeply and said:
"It's too ill-advised to enter the dense forest rashly. Next time you should at least hire a tour guide."
"——This determination is really courageous. Without a tour guide, you rookies won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
"?!"
Matthew immediately came to Gudafu and protected him behind him. Merlin said loudly: "Who is coming?!"
"I am, um, who is this? A mysterious beautiful girl? - Ah! What a tragedy, I was so busy thinking that I forgot where the trap was!"
"Very good, I understand—"
Faced with this series of chaotic movements, Merlin thought for a moment and quickly said with finality:
"This is an idiot!"
"It's not a hippopotamus! I don't understand why people always like to use hippopotamus as a metaphor for me."
"If I have to say it, I am the embodiment of the dense forest, the embodiment of the great warriors, that is -"
"Leopard-man!"
