Chapter 052 On the way to the Amethyst Tree
Four little fairies appeared in the small square of the mission hall early in the morning, attracting the attention of many adult fairies.
What's going on?
Shouldn't the little ones be sleeping at home at this time?
Why are you here?
Judging from the way they rushed towards their companions, they seemed to have accepted the mission.
The adult goblins widened their eyes in surprise.
They thought fifteen-year-old Kumandi was young enough, but unexpectedly four five-year-olds showed up!
Kumandi looked at the blond cub flying towards him and said approvingly, "Very punctual."
"Hehehe~" Shu Li flew in front of him, his eyes curved and he grinned, "Thank goodness the big fat bird helped."
Without the help of the big fat bird, they would definitely be late.
Disio and Angel flew over with the sleepy Budno. After greeting Kumandi, they looked at the three adult goblins curiously.
When Anna saw the child, she swept away her previous laziness and walked up to him like a strange aunt, touching and kneading this and that, and pinched Budno's fair and tender little round face.
"Good morning, little friend, my name is Anna." She withdrew her hand contentedly and introduced herself.
"Good morning..."
Budno, who was still a little sleepy, covered his pinched cheek and stared blankly at the smiling adult female fairy.
oops!
So cute!
Anna's hands were itching and she wanted to pinch it, but Ivy stopped her in time and glared at her.
What if I pinch it again and scare the child? Should I still complete the mission?
Anna shrugged her shoulders and stood aside with her arms folded, watching Ivy enthusiastically introduce his teammates to the children.
After a while, everyone got to know each other.
Shu Li took out a small notebook and quickly drew three small Q-versions on a blank piece of paper, then wrote their names next to them.
There was no way around it. Although he had learned Elvish, the difficult-to-pronounce foreign names were always his weakness. Only after spending a long time together and calling each other's names every day would it be memorable.
"...Little Sperian, is this me?" Ivy bent down and pointed at the little man on the paper curiously and asked.
This little man has a big head and a small body, his eyes take up half of his face, he has a similar hairstyle and clothes to him, and even his jewelry is almost the same. There is "Ivy" written next to him, who else could it be but him?
Shu Li nodded calmly: "Yes."
When he first started drawing Q-versions, he would blush in embarrassment when the person involved pointed it out. But after doing it many times, he got used to it.
It is not shameful to admit that you are not very talented in languages.
It’s better than pretending to know when you don’t and then calling the wrong name or recognizing the wrong person.
Anyway…the fairies and elves who knew him all knew that he was not good at remembering names.
Ivy stroked his smooth chin, looked at the cheerful child with a smile, and praised: "The painting is great, I like it very much."
"Thank you." Shu Li accepted his compliment calmly.
"Hey, hey, is this me?" Anna moved closer and took the opportunity to rub the child's soft hair, and her fingertips touched a hairpin.
This hairpin is silver-white and shaped like two leaves, inlaid with four crystal clear emeralds. It matches the cub's golden hair, and is both exquisite and cute.
Anna touched the hairpin curiously, and suddenly, her finger was stung and felt a slight sting. She subconsciously withdrew her hand, surprised.
This is... the symbol of the Elf King's blessing, the little flower crown that is said to be able to change its shape?
He is so domineering that he won’t even let me touch him.
Shu Li had no idea that the small flower crown that had become a hairpin "threatened" Anna, and answered her question seriously: "Yes, this is you."
Anna rubbed her fingers and raised her eyebrows in praise: "Not bad, not bad, it's exactly like me."
Apart from the fact that her head is too big and her body is too small, her curly hair, clothes and jewelry are all painted very lifelike.
Shu Li put away the notebook and responded generously: "Thank you for the compliment."
Anna really liked his confident look and wanted to rub his little head, but she had to give up because she was worried about the stinging "hairpin".
However, this child cannot RUA, there are three other children!
Budno shuddered inexplicably and instinctively moved away from Anna, hiding behind Disio.
Discio pursed his lips, his face tense, and stared at Anna with his red eyes.
Anna felt guilty when she saw him, so she turned around and started to think about the good boy Angel.
"It's time to go." Xier finally couldn't bear it any longer and warned sternly, "Anna, please be mindful of your words and actions."
When forming the task force, the three adult goblins assigned tasks early on.
Xier is the captain, Ivy is responsible for security, and Anna takes care of the underage goblins.
However, caring is not about teasing them, there is an essential difference between the two.
Anna flicked her wavy hair to show that she understood.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The goblins all perked up and stood obediently beside Kumandi, looking at Captain Xier with shining eyes, waiting for his instructions.
Even though Xier was usually serious, even the coldest heart could not help but soften when he received the trusting eyes of the four little guys.
"Everyone take out your maps." He softened his tone and made final preparations before setting off.
The goblins took out their maps one after another.
Xier snapped his fingers, and the map in his hand floated into the air and unfolded automatically.
This is a map of the Fairy Forest. It only has east, south, west, north and some special signs. It is very simple.
The first day Shu Li got the map, he secretly complained about it. If he were to follow it and walk alone in the forest, he would be lost in less than ten minutes.
"This is the Sacred Tree, which is where we are now." Xier pointed to a triangle in the southwest. "Starting from the Sacred Tree, follow this route south towards the Saint Bash Sea. When you reach this small triangle, you will find the Amethyst Tree."
"The round trip is expected to take two days. Bring your own food, water, and camping gear. Report any problems you encounter to me. You are absolutely not allowed to act on your own. Remember?"
Xier glanced sharply at his teammates.
“Remember!”
The goblins responded in unison, Budno's voice being particularly resonant.
Xier touched his ears, put away the map, spread his wings, and led the team into the sky.
Kumandi said to the four children, "Follow us."
The four children followed Kumandi obediently, with Ivy and Anna on either side, protecting them in the middle.
Leaving the sacred tree and entering the dense forest, the four little fairies were both excited and nervous. They flapped their wings at a high frequency and flew headfirst, fearing that they would be disliked by the adult fairies if they were slow.
In fact, adult fairies can become the same size as elves and fly very fast. If they use magic, they can also teleport through space. The distance between the sacred tree and the amethyst tree only takes eight hours to travel back and forth.
However, in order to train the underage fairies in the forest, they maintained their normal form, traveled slowly, and patiently taught them survival skills in the wild.
The five-year-old goblin had limited physical strength and was exhausted and out of breath after flying for more than two hours.
At Xier's command, the whole team took a break.
They landed on a high branch of a large tree, high off the ground, reducing the danger by eighty percent.
“Pah—”
The four little goblins fell on the thick branches in unison, their wings trembling slightly, like dizzy moths.
Woo woo woo——
So tired!
Shu Li supported his small body with both hands, struggled to sit up, and took deep breaths.
The first time he flew continuously for more than two hours without a single pause, he felt like the roots of his wings were cramping.
The other three goblins were not much better off than him, especially Budno, who was lying on a branch with his butt sticking out, motionless. If he hadn't opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply, I would have suspected that he was in trouble.
"Can you still hold on?" Kumandi sat beside Shu Li with a steady breath.
"No... no problem!" Shu Li patted his chest. A mere two hours was no problem. He could still fly!
Seeing that his face was flushed and sweat was pouring down his face, Kumandi reminded him to drink some water and wipe his sweat.
Shu Li looked at him gratefully, quickly took out the water bottle from the storage ring, unscrewed the lid, and drank it in big gulps.
This kettle contains the boiled water he had prepared last night. It has now become lukewarm and is very thirst-quenching when you drink it.
After drinking the water, he took out a towel and wiped the sweat off his face, finally feeling better.
After Discio and Angel bravely climbed up and sat up, they followed Shuli's example by drinking water and wiping their sweat. Only Budno remained lying there, unwilling to move.
"Hey, little guy, do you need my help?" Anna squatted beside him and smiled kindly.
Budno was panting and trying to get up but was unable to do so. When he heard Anna's words, he looked at her for help.
Anna thoughtfully helped him up and rubbed his head. "Poor little guy, must he be exhausted? Look at his pale face. He must not be a big fan of exercise."
"Thank you...thank you." Budno sat cross-legged and couldn't wait to take out water from the storage ring. He gulped down half a pot, then took out a red fruit and took a big bite.
He overslept in the morning and only ate two fruits in a hurry. Now he had been flying for more than two hours and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
I couldn’t get up just now because I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and my limbs were weak.
Shu Li looked at him wolfing down the food and held his forehead with his hands in dismay.
Anna and Ivy couldn't help laughing, while Syl turned a blind eye and sat silently. Kumandi, on the other hand, looked at Budno with a serious expression.
"Before setting off next time, I must fill my stomach first."
"Uh...ah...oh!" Budno finished chewing the fruit, holding the clean core, his round face flushed with shame. "S-sorry..."
Desio, who usually likes to contradict Budno, rarely defended him. "Budno had breakfast, but he's getting hungry."
To confirm his words, Angel nodded, "Yes, that's why he can't lose weight."
Budno looked at Angel with resentment. If you are a brother, don't expose my shortcomings.
Angel grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and a mischievous gleam in his amber eyes.
Adult fairies are very tolerant of children who are doing a mission for the first time. They will wait until they have rested and recovered their strength before continuing on their journey.
As they got further and further away from the sacred tree, there were more and more magical beasts on the road.
There are all kinds of creatures flying in the sky, running on the ground, climbing on trees, and swimming in the water, which is overwhelming to see.
Shu Li had the illusion that she had entered Jurassic Park.
Although he accidentally fell into the forest five years ago, it was already late at night and the monsters that came out during the day were dormant. The monsters at night were good at hiding their whereabouts. He did not encounter many monsters while he was on his way.
It was broad daylight, deep in the forest, and the monsters were out looking for food.
Herbivores eat grass, carnivores eat herbivores, groups of animals besiege solitary ones, high-level animals hunt low-level ones, the entire cruel animal world, the bloody picture is clearly presented in front of the innocent little goblin.
Even though Shu Li had seen "Animal World" and various horror films before, seeing the beast hunting firsthand, she couldn't help but shudder. As for the other three children, they simply lay on the branches and vomited.
"Wow--"
The little fat boy vomited out all the fruit he had eaten.
So scary!
Woo woo woo!
Shouldn't Warcraft be friendly and approachable like the big fat bird and Mr. Big Snake?
Why are they hunting each other?
Disceo and Angel hugged each other, their faces pale and trembling.
Shu Li grabbed the corner of Kumandi's clothes tightly and asked softly, "No... didn't they say... this road is safe?"
Kumandi reached out and touched his head, whispering, "Monsters won't attack fairies."
So, this road is very safe for goblins.
However, he overlooked an important issue.
The cubs usually live in a comfortable environment and have never been exposed to the bloody side of the forest. Today, they suddenly saw the hunting scene of Warcraft, which was a huge shock to them.
However, this is the law of survival in the forest.
Facing a cruel world, fairies must learn to be strong.
