Chapter 261: How could anyone believe such poor acting?
Zhang Da also raised his head, trying to see who had disrupted his epic achievement, but he found nothing but a lush forest.
Gently tapping the mammoth's head, Zhang Da also asked: "Why are you stopping? Is there something scary ahead?"
The mammoth shook its head vigorously, and sweat oozed from its forehead. Even though Zhang Da was fierce to it, it only retreated in small steps.
Is there something scarier than being beaten? It can't be the Golden Lion coming, right? Zhang Daye also wants to know what Altria has discovered.
Altria closed her eyes and sensed carefully: "It's very suspicious. There is not even a trace of animal smell in such a large forest."
The flag monster Ma Laowu floated over, and immediately blocked his nose after solidifying into a physical form, and explained:
"Not far ahead is the village that Fenger reported. The trees in this forest are called Daft-Green. They emit a pungent smell that even mad beasts are reluctant to approach . You just need to go a little further and you'll be able to smell the smell."
Tom stretched his neck curiously and took a deep breath. He was also an animal and could not smell anything at all.
Ma Laowu continued, "But these gases are poisonous. Long-term exposure will make you sick, so it's better not to try. It's because of these trees that the villagers can survive on this island full of wild animals."
Tom was so scared that he shrank his head, covered his nose tightly with his hands and held his breath.
Ma Laowu has a keen sense of smell, and these smells are extremely lethal to him. After reporting, he immediately looked at Ye Yan pitifully and said, "Master, I want to return to the Huang Yao Banner."
"Come back." Ye Yan didn't force him.
"If you don't dare to go straight, then go around. It's not a good thing to bring these people into the village." Zhang Da also gently pulled the mammoth's right ear to signal it to turn.
Because they wasted some time in front of the forest, the team behind them quickly caught up. The leader laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the animals wouldn't dare to approach Daft-Green, right? Open fire!"
About a hundred pirates riding various ferocious beasts formed a semicircle bounded by the woods and fired their guns.
Some of them were powerful anesthetic injections aimed at the mammoths, while others were ordinary bullets aimed at the people on the elephants' backs.
Zhang Daye and the others were able to knock the bullets away with their weapons, but the mammoth was too big and was hit by many anesthetic needles while running.
"Ang~" The mammoth relied on its long hair to prevent most of the anesthetic needles from penetrating its skin. It ran wildly and crashed into the crowd attacking it.
The pirates were knocked to the ground and screamed in pain. They took advantage of this gap to remove the anesthetic needle from the mammoth and jumped off its back.
Zhang Da also patted its thigh and said, "Go quickly. You've worked hard just now."
The mammoth glanced at him, swung its big nose and blew away a dozen pirates, then staggered away under the effect of anesthetics.
"Damn, it's just a wild beast!" Several pirates stood up and pointed their guns at the mammoth, but the next moment their hands were stabbed by something and they dropped their guns.
Ye Yan waved his hand, and eight small flags flew back: "This elephant actually knows how to cling to others, it has a future."
There are spikes on the top of his Huang Yao Banner, which can be controlled at will within a short distance and used as a hidden weapon. However, this kind of attack rarely hits people. After all, these pirates are still a little green.
"Dancing Barrel: Continuous Attack!" Brook drew out his cane sword and attacked quickly, stabbing down more than a dozen pirates in succession. "Yohohoho~ Since Mr. Mammoth is so loyal, I have no choice but to cover him for a while."
"Mini Ghost ·Ghost Bomb!" Perona released a dozen small ghosts the size of fists, which exploded around the two pirates. Although their power was not very great, their large number made them easy to track.
The two pirates didn't have as long health bars as Usopp, and they fell to the ground with an explosion.
"Although it's not cute at all, thanks to it I can have a good rest for a while. I won't let you hurt it!"
Zhang Daye swept the lamp post in his hand, knocking away a few unlucky guys, and complained: "Before catching it, Mengmeng was holding you and running. Do you need to rest?"
Perona blushed: "Nuh...Nuh!"
At this time, Tom's face was redder than Perona's, and his complexion was gradually turning purple. It looked like he might faint at any time.
"Tom! What are you doing? Breathe, breathe quickly!" Zhang Da didn't understand what Tom was thinking for a moment. Why was he still covering his nose when his face turned purple?
Tom still didn't dare to relax. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and pointed to the woods not far away with the other hand, indicating that Ma Laowu had just said that these trees were poisonous.
So this silly cat has been holding his breath since then, right? Zhang Da also pried his hands apart with a smile: "It's okay from such a distance , or you can wear a gas mask?"
Tom suddenly realized what was going on, took out a gas mask and put it on himself, gasping for air, which made him feel suffocated.
A few clever kids took advantage of the fact that Zhang Da was also concerned about Tom and targeted him.
"Fish-Man Karate: Three Thousand Watts Punch!" Shark Chili stepped forward, and clenched his fin-like hands into fists with great effort, knocking the pirate, his mount, and himself flying, while also knocking down several people behind him.
Rui Mengmeng pulled out the dark alloy sword behind her, jumped up and slashed the ground with the sword, creating a big hole in the ground and all the pirates around were blown away.
Zhang Da also saw this and shouted, "It's over, it's over, Meng Meng, hold back!"
Rui Mengmeng nodded quickly: "Oh, I get it!"
Altria doesn't have any fancy tricks, she just kills every kid with one sword.
By the time the mammoth ran away, more than half of the pirates had lost their fighting power. The remaining pirates held swords and looked at each other in bewilderment:
"How can it be so strong?"
"Didn't they use trickery to get rid of the exploration team?"
"There are actually people with abilities, and such strong swordsmen!"
The swordsman was talking about Rui Mengmeng. Because Altria had been letting them win, they thought she was the weakest one here.
If Zhang Da knew their thoughts, he would probably be happy for a second.
"It's bad, we've let it slip." Zhang Da also looked at their expressions and felt that things were going to be bad. They might not be able to delay it for too long.
Ye Yan suddenly had an idea and shouted in a shrill voice: "Captain, the effect of my stimulant is about to wear off! Let's run for our lives before they notice us!"
While shouting, Ye Yan deliberately made a panic expression, but it was a little exaggerated.
Zhang Da also said: "How could anyone believe such poor acting skills..."
"So they used stimulants!" a pirate shouted in surprise, "Quickly retreat, as long as we can hold out until the effect of the drugs wears off, we'll definitely win!"
Rui Mengmeng poked Zhang Daye's shoulder with her finger: "Boss, they really believed it."
"Ah, I saw it, Mengmeng."
So, Zhang Da and his companions, as the "effect of the drug was almost wearing off", started to escape again.
…
But not everyone in the Golden Lion team is so brainless. The more Indigo looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong:
"Scarleto, take the newly bred beasts with you, I will report to Lord Shiki."
