Chapter 221 Hong Xue's First Arrival in the Western Continent
The wind blows through the shadows of the trees, the birds sing crisply, the morning light is gentle, and the flowers in the grass are about to bloom.
The girl's eyes were closed, and her golden hair spread out on the ground like a waterfall, shining faintly in the sunlight.
A mosquito-like voice echoed from the bushes, tinged with doubt. "It looks very beautiful, but it doesn't have pointed ears, it doesn't transform into a beast, and it doesn't have a tail..." The voice paused, filled with worry. "Hmm... Lunala, what should we do?"
After a brief silence, another voice finally spoke: "Elowen, you must return to Elder Zatalan as quickly as possible."
"Okay." Elowen agreed subconsciously, then realized what the other party had said, "Huh? No, no, then you can do it yourself..."
"These are special times." Lunala, also hiding in the bushes, spoke with a hint of fear, but she still interrupted Elowen without hesitation, "We can't leave a stranger alone."
Elowen said in a low, weak voice, "Okay, I get it. You must be careful."
The grass rustled, and a little man, about the size of a palm, flapped his wings like a butterfly. He looked back at his companions in the grass, and without hesitation flew towards the depths of the forest not far away.
Another pair of small eyes were hidden in the gaps between the green leaves, observing the girl on the open grass, breathing lightly.
What race could it be? Not elves, not orcs, not demons, and those chilling ghosts...
Her eyes had been open for too long and felt sore. She blinked and her gaze refocused, a pair of blood-red pupils staring straight at her.
Lunala couldn't help but clench her hands and tremble her chest. The wings behind her flapped rapidly, and the grass swayed slightly. She didn't dare to move for a moment. When she looked again, the other person's sight had left the grass. She slowly relaxed her heart.
Vifiya propped herself up with her hands and sat up. Someone was watching her, very secretly. If it weren't for the change in the breath when he looked at her again, she would have found it difficult to notice.
No, she looked around and what caught her eye was a sea of lush green and blooming flowers, not the appearance of the East Continent just after the end of winter.
Although it was somewhat similar to the East Continent, Vifiya was certain that she was now in the West Continent.
So the person in the bushes was most likely not a human, but fortunately I didn't detect any malicious intent.
She looked around but didn't see Isidore and the others. Vifiya lowered her eyes. Were they dispersed?
Without thinking too much, she fumbled through the things on her body: the silver bracelet, necklace, earrings, the elf stone in the small cloth bag on her waist, the blue cloth that Hefa had given her before, a dagger, and a long sword.
The rest of her things were in the suitcase, which Kaharun had put into the magic circle.
It was a bit troublesome, but not too much. At least I had the important things with me.
Vifia stroked the hilt of the sword. Isidore was present when they were packing up. He cast a spell on the sword, but she was called out by Mei at that time. When she came back, the sword was already intact and placed aside.
Lunala, who was hiding in the bushes, saw that she was touching the weapon with her hand. Her heart was lifted again. Could it be that he had really discovered her and was going to attack her?
Vifiya didn't know what the other person was thinking, nor did she intend to guess. No sound came from her mind. [Vifiya], [Eyes], and Qingzhu were all quiet.
She couldn't communicate with them easily at the moment, after all, there were other eyes watching her.
She stood up, and her cloak automatically fell, covering the weapons underneath.
The first thing to do now is to observe and understand this strange land and find Isidore and his four companions.
The necklace follows the owner's wishes, reflecting a map of the land she stands on.
Before Vifiya could see clearly, a spot of bright red lightly landed on the tip of her nose.
The map automatically disappears.
An alarm immediately sounded in her heart, and she gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist and looked up.
The sky was still blue, and the red snow fell silently. Vifia's eyes secretly swept across the range of the red snow, estimating it to be about ten meters.
What will happen if you run away?
There was a fresh scent of grass and soil in his nose, no different from before, and the red snow had no smell.
The grass suddenly shook violently and fell silent again.
Lunala stared at the falling red snow with wide eyes. Every bit of red looked like something extremely terrifying. She controlled her trembling body tightly and suppressed the fear spreading in her heart.
How could this happen? How did she end up here? What should she do? What should she do? Her magic wasn't strong enough to allow her to escape.
Vifiya didn't look at the noise in the grass, and the other party's panic probably confirmed two things.
First, Hongxue is very dangerous; second, the other party knows what it is, but it is unknown whether they have any means to deal with it. What is certain is that the other party can't do it.
Vifia could easily sense the fear in the bushes without having to deliberately feel it. Even though the other party was afraid and panicked, but had not lost the ability to move, it did not escape from Hongxue's range.
Vifiya gave up the idea of running out of Hongxue.
The surroundings fell into silence, and the red snow fell heavier and heavier. At the edge of the red snow, a thin layer of white mist was faintly rising, and the outer periphery became blurred.
Vifiya held the hilt of the sword tightly without relaxing her grip, her face alert, wary of possible attacks from all around at any time.
Her eyes briefly glanced at the ground; the red snow had not melted.
"Ah──" The gentle panting sound seemed to cut through the throat, making a sound like boiling water.
Vifiya immediately raised her eyes and saw a woman standing quietly in the distance.
If that was really a person...
She took a half step back, and her sword gleamed coldly under her cloak.
The woman stood upright, her folded hands in front of her and her snake-shaped ring were all wrapped in spider webs. Her face was covered by a black veil, and under the bone necklace around her neck was a simple black corseted dress.
A voice came from under the black veil.
“■■■.”
“■■■■■.”
Vifiya did not let her guard down. She could not hear the woman's words clearly. Her voice was vague, as if one syllable was not fully pronounced before it jumped to the next.
She had no intention of starting a conversation.
The man in the bushes seemed to be about to faint from fear.
She exerted her strength secretly.
“■.”
Vifiya keenly noticed that there was movement under the woman's skirt. A tentacle slowly stretched out and attacked her directly the next second.
The cold light comes out of the sheath.
The tentacles under the woman's skirt jumped into the air and split into two directions, one rushing straight towards Vifia, and the other gathering strength to chop towards the grass.
Vifiya dodged the first tentacle's attack with a swift movement, and other tentacles followed.
"Snap!" The tentacles slapped the grass hard, and the green leaves were ruthlessly destroyed.
"Ah!" The figure inside exclaimed, as childish as a child.
Just as Vifiya was about to use her sword, she paused as a barrage of attacks followed.
She relied on her instinctive sense of danger while glancing at the bushes distractedly.
The palm-sized little man had a pair of honey-yellow petal wings on his back, but because of the woman's sudden attack, they were shaking and could not fly steadily.
Vifiya had seen this kind of race, goblins, in the past of Valega.
But in a moment, she quickly made a choice.
To avoid accidental injuries, the best way is to keep the goblin by your side.
In the gap between the tentacle attacks, she rushed towards the fairy in one breath and stretched out her hand in the fairy's direction.
Lunala was horrified. When she looked into those red eyes, she paused for a moment. Vifiya only felt something flash by in front of her eyes. Instinct was faster than thinking, and the trance just now seemed like a sudden dizziness.
The blonde girl's eyes cleared in an instant, and Lunala's eyes widened. Before she could react, a hand grabbed the back of her collar.
Vifia ignored the fairy's expression and took a light step back to dodge.
“Bang!”
The tentacles whipped the grass again, and the flying leaves flew towards Vifia's face. She knew the next round of attack was coming.
The long sword swept upwards, the sword body emitted a sharp white light, and countless flying blades accurately cut off the tentacles.
The tentacles fell to the ground, and the moment they touched Hong Xue, a sizzling sound was made, and the tentacles were eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Vifiya held the goblin in one hand and held her sword tightly in the other. She stared at the woman in front of her who didn't move at all.
Lunala didn't move. The girl who grabbed her rudely just helped her avoid the attack. Although she could have dodged it in a hurry, she still protected herself by cutting off the tentacles.
She suppressed her pounding heart. The girl next to her had no magic power, and she couldn't sense the fluctuations of magic power on the girl's sword. The magic power on the sword was much stronger than hers.
The vigilance in the blonde girl's eyes gradually became sharp. She slowly raised her sword and tried to attack.
"■■." A woman moaned slowly.
Lunala's expression changed.
The next moment, before Vifia could move, the ruby on the left hook of her cloak suddenly shone, and a magic circle appeared out of thin air, spitting out a huge magic column that attacked the woman directly, and then disappeared suddenly, leaving only the woman's ashes on the ground being eroded by the red snow.
The surging magic power did not cause any disturbance, and even Vifiya's hair did not flutter.
The woman's disappearance is as peaceful as the red snow.
Huh? Even Vifiya herself didn't react.
it's over?
Lunala stared blankly at the scene before her, and she blinked.
Vifia then glanced around and realized that it was the magic left on her by Isidore. He didn't say anything, so she thought it was just an ordinary cloak.
She picked up the goblin whose collar she had pinched.
Lunala reacted to her actions and before she could tell the girl to let her go, she heard the girl ask, "Can you hold on if I let you go?"
All of Lunala's prepared actions disappeared at her words, even though her question did not contain much concern, but was just an ordinary question.
She whispered honestly, "Yes."
Maybe, the golden girl is not a bad girl, the little elf thought.
Vifia stared down at the fairy. She spoke too softly. She thought for a moment and judged the fairy's possible answer.
She released her grip, and the fairy flapped its wings steadily.
Weifeiya turned her head and looked into the distance: "Follow me closely."
Because the barrier brought by Hong Xue has not dissipated yet.
