Chapter 010 Trypophobia
Before, Shu Li looked out from the skylight of the gestation room and knew that there were many adult goblins in the forest.
However, what he didn't know was that when thousands of palm-sized goblins gathered together, the scene would be so spectacular and terrifying!
Although each of them looks exquisite and beautiful, and is pleasing to the eye individually, when so many of them appear at the same time, the beauty instantly decreases, the visual impact is strong, and claustrophobia arises spontaneously.
Shu Li got goosebumps all of a sudden, his wings paused for a moment, and he flew crookedly.
The goblin cubs who went out first were overjoyed, but they were obviously not as sensitive as Shu Li. Seeing so many adult goblins welcoming them, they all held their heads high and were in high spirits.
Today is the day when the fairy cubs leave the nursery. Fairies from all over the forest gather in front of the door of the nursery, looking at the cute cubs flying out lovingly.
The little fat boy Budno rushed to the front and was watched by many adult goblins. He was not afraid at all and flew forward bravely and confidently.
Fairies are small in size and generally have slender bodies. Although they may have baby fat in their childhood, they rarely become fat as balls.
It's so rare to see a white and chubby cub that even the adult goblins couldn't help laughing.
This must be a greedy cub.
Following Budno, the other cubs lined up obediently and flew out of the gate one after another.
The adult fairies looked at their energetic appearance with soft eyes and faces full of love.
When the last golden-haired cub came out, the adult goblins all looked puzzled.
Um?
What's going on?
Here's a little guy who can't even fly steadily!
He flew stumblingly, up and down, left and right, his delicate little face was pale, as if he had seen something terrible, his eyes opened and closed, dodging.
"It's Sperian." An adult fairy exclaimed when he saw the crown of flowers on the cub's head.
As a fairy cub blessed by the Elf King, Sperian is famous.
Every time Elsa and Sit leave the gestation room, they chat with other fairies about the interesting things about the cubs.
The one they talked about most was Sperian.
The little guy was already communicating with adult elves by gestures on the day he was born. In order to wear underwear, he painstakingly collected cocoons and spun silk, trying to weave his own pair. Although he was diligent and studious and took notes in class, his Elvish language was only half-baked.
Such an interesting little cub, the other adult fairies couldn't wait to meet him and see if he was as unique as Elsa said.
Now, having finally met him, the goblins expressed concern for Sperian's health.
Is he not feeling well?
Otherwise, why would he be so listless that he couldn't even fly properly?
Shu Li had no idea that he had become the focus of the adult fairies. He was struggling hard against his claustrophobia and followed the team in front of him tremblingly.
I don't know how long it took, but they finally got away from the door of the gestation room. The adult fairies no longer gathered together and gradually dispersed. Shu Li's intensive phobia was finally relieved.
I almost suffocated just now.
Imagine how terrifying it would be to be surrounded by "bees" all over the sky and the ground as soon as you go out?
I'm sorry to compare beautiful fairies to bees, but when they gather together in large numbers and densely, it's really a test for people's visual nerves.
At this time, Shu Li was particularly envious of the other fairy cubs' thick nerves.
Maybe they are real cubs who have never seen the world, and I am a fake fairy who traveled through time with my previous memories?
The intensive phobia disappeared, Shu Li stopped dodging, opened his eyes boldly, flapped his wings, and flew quickly.
The adult goblins who had been keeping an eye on him looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw that the little guy had returned to normal.
What's going on?
Can it fly suddenly?
Were you shy before?
It seems different from what Aishasit and the others said!
However, as long as they are not sick, we will observe them carefully in the future to ensure that every cub is healthy.
Shu Li followed the team to the giant tree.
When I was still in the incubation room, I looked at the giant tree outside through the skylight and could not sense its terrifying size. Now that I see it up close, I am shocked beyond words. Compared with it, the nearby trees are simply dwarfed.
The giant tree towers into the clouds, like a pagoda, tall and luxuriant, majestic and imposing. Its root system is so strong and extensive, covering so much ground that no other tree dares approach, leaving only wildflowers and weeds to grow conservatively in its shade. Its branches are thick and orderly, layered in layers, and a variety of exquisite cottages are neatly arranged, adding infinite color to the giant tree.
The little goblin is small in size and is no different from an ant in front of the giant tree.
The fairy cubs who had just come out of the nursery were all stunned when they saw the giant tree.
“Wow… so awesome!”
"Are we going to live in a tree from now on?"
"Great! I love this big tree!"
"Where is our cabin?"
"I don't want to live too high up. It's too tiring to fly up there!"
“I want to live at the top! It would be so fun~”
The cubs were muttering to themselves and making exclamations from time to time.
A passing adult fairy heard this and smiled at the cub who wanted to live on the top floor, "Hey, little cutie, you can't live on the top floor."
"Why?" the little cub asked unconvinced.
The adult goblin made a blowing motion and said in a low voice, "The wind is howling at the top. You don't know magic. If you go up there, you'll freeze into an ice stick and be torn into pieces by the strong wind."
"Wow—then I don't want to go to the top floor!" The little cub was frightened. He hugged himself and trembled, with two big tear bubbles in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know whether to cry or not.
The adult goblin blinked in surprise.
Oops, it seems the joke went too far, the little cub is about to be scared and cry!
"Chris, you're playing pranks again!" Elsa flew over, hands on her hips, glaring at the adult elves. She noticed the young cubs at the back of the group were flying too slowly, so she came over to urge them on, only to run into Chris deliberately making the young cubs cry.
Chris just turned one hundred this year. He is at an age full of energy. He likes to play pranks and often "bullies" goblins smaller than him. He has been punished by the elders many times, but he still does not change his bad habits.
I never expected that today he would not even let go of the three-month-old cub!
Elsa rolled up her sleeves and glared angrily.
Seeing that Fairy Godmother was about to lose her temper, Chris quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again next time."
Without waiting for Elsa's response, he flapped his wings and disappeared like lightning.
Looking at the "stars" in the distance, Elsa gritted her teeth.
He escaped quickly!
Shu Li, who was watching the whole process, opened his mouth in surprise, and could almost foresee that the days to come would be exciting.
Not every adult fairy will take good care of the cubs. There are also fairies like Ke...Ke who enjoys teasing the cubs.
Although he had no ill intentions, it was enough to make the innocent little cub cry.
Elsa took great pains to comfort the frightened little guy, then took his hand and flew to the middle and lower levels of the giant tree.
After a moment, twenty-five goblin cubs stood on a branch, looking around curiously.
This branch is very thick in diameter and as spacious as a small square. The cubs can run and play on it freely without worrying about falling.
Of course, it’s okay to fall.
They have wings and cannot be broken.
"See the branches next to it? The house on top is where you lived before you came of age," Elsa pointed. "Boys live on the left, girls live on the right. Now—everyone go to Sit and draw a house number."
Disceo raised his hand and asked, "Can we exchange numbers?"
He wants to live next to the boss.
Hearing this, Angel nodded vigorously and looked at Elsa expectantly.
Aisha smiled and nodded, "If others agree."
"Yeah!" Disceo and Angel high-fived happily.
Shu Li also expressed her happiness.
He didn't want his neighbor to be a nasty guy, like the fat boy Andno, because meeting him every day when he went out would affect his mood for the whole day.
Sit took out a wooden box, shook it a few times, placed it on a branch, and asked the cubs to line up and draw lots.
After a while, each cub got its own house number from the wooden box.
"I'm number 3."
"I'm number 12."
Discio and Angel turned their heads at the same time and looked at Shu Li.
Shu Li showed her number and said helplessly, "I'm number 20."
Looks like they're looking for someone to swap with.
Discio and Angel took immediate action and found their cubs to exchange No. 19 and No. 21. As luck would have it, No. 21 was the little fat boy Budno.
"I don't want to trade with you!" Budno held his house number tightly and bared his teeth at Shu Li.
Shu Li puffed out his cheeks.
What did he say just now?
If your neighbor is a nasty guy, it will ruin your mood for the whole day.
As luck would have it, he and Budno actually drew adjacent numbers.
Shu Li decisively found other cubs to exchange numbers.
Seeing Shu Li give up the original house number neatly, Budno looked depressed, his eyes widened, he wanted to say something but stopped, clenched his fists, turned around awkwardly, and faced people with his butt.
Shu Li glanced sideways and roughly guessed what the fat boy was thinking.
He was similar to the elementary school students in his original world, who loved bullying others the more they liked in order to attract their attention, but he had no idea how bad and childish his behavior was.
What a deep well of ice.
In the end, Shuli got number 11 from the other cubs, Discio got number 10, and Angel got number 12 that he drew.
Disceo and Angel would never allow other cubs to live next to the eldest.
After getting the house numbers, the cubs found their respective little houses.
Shu Li stood in front of cabin No. 11 and reached out to push the door, but it wouldn't budge. He looked at it in confusion and found a small groove on the door, so he tried to fit the doorplate into it.
Suddenly, a magic circle appeared on the door. With a "click", the door opened and the groove spit out the doorplate again.
Shu Li exclaimed "Wow", took the doorplate and pushed the door open.
Discio and Angel followed suit, and with two "clicks", they also opened their doors.
The three cubs couldn't wait to go into the house and look around curiously.
Although the house is small, it has everything.
The room is fully furnished with a bed, table, chairs, cabinets, and a specially separated bathroom.
Shu Li smiled happily when she saw the clean toilet.
Very good!
Finally, I don’t have to squat on the grass and expose my butt shyly.
The house was spotlessly clean, as if it had been meticulously swept. The bed was covered in soft sheets that smelled fresh and floral. The table was decorated with a row of charming little wooden sculptures. The cabinets had ample space, divided into numerous compartments for categorized storage.
Looking at the cabinet, Shu Li remembered that his luggage was still with Aisha.
He quickly closed the cabinet door and walked out. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he met Aisha.
Seeing the cub's anxious face, Aisha smiled and took his luggage out of the storage bag.
After Shu Li thanked Aisha, he dragged the big bag into the house with great effort.
He brought out a lot of things from the gestational room, almost filling up the entire cabinet.
"call--"
Finally finishing the cleaning, he sat in a chair, catching his breath, and looked at his own little home, feeling very satisfied.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
A familiar bell sound rang out, and Shu Li moved his ears, knowing that Aisha was summoning all the fairy cubs.
He took the small doorplate and walked out of the house. The door closed and locked automatically.
A sense of security is overflowing.
Shu Li was very satisfied.
Although the things he picked up in the nursery were not valuable, he hated having outsiders visit his little house.
He spread his wings, flew gracefully to the side, and landed lightly on the branch where he had gathered before, tiptoeing.
Elsa is the fairy godmother, and she teaches the cubs all the common sense of life.
After all the cubs arrived, she waved her fairy wand and took them to familiarize themselves with the living environment of the fairies.
This incredibly large tree, an ancient sacred tree with a lifespan of over 100,000 years, has always sheltered the goblins. To repay the tree, the goblins have made their home in its branches, constantly providing it with nutrients, removing pests, and pruning its overgrown leaves to ensure its health.
"How do we provide nutrition for the sacred tree?" a cub asked doubtfully.
Aisha smiled and said, "It's the same way you provide nutrients to the flowers and plants in the gestation room."
Shu Li turned her words over in his mind several times, and after he understood the meaning, his pupils trembled.
ha?
