Chapter 341 Lying Down and Sleeping Together
Shu Li felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about himself becoming smaller and stepping on something with his feet.
He is so slow.
Saying embarrassing things in front of everyone without realizing it.
Every time I think about it, I dig my toes into the ground.
Now that I am alone with the Elf King, I don’t know what to do with my hands and feet.
Shu Li looked straight ahead and climbed onto his bed nimbly.
The Elf King had set up the tent and arranged the items inside. Today's bed was wider and softer than usual, with an extra layer of thick bedding covered with a uniquely elven textile. The surface was smooth and delicate, and lying on it was soft and comfortable against the skin.
Looking at the quilt again, it is also the best Tiancan quilt, which has the function of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. It is so comfortable to sleep with it.
Usually Kumandi would set up a tent and use an ordinary bed, but now Kumandi lived in a tent by himself, and the king even took out textiles and silk quilts specially made for elves.
Shu Li took off her coat, lay down in the quilt, and couldn't help rubbing it, feeling happy.
The Elf King raised his eyes and saw the little goblin rubbing against the quilt, his eyes moved slightly.
Shu Li felt satisfied, stole a glance at the Elf King, and sighed softly.
Even with disguise magic, his appearance and temperament are unique. Just leaning forward casually, he becomes a beautiful CG painting.
Seeing that the Elf King was reading seriously, Shu Li didn't feel like disturbing him. While it was still early, he turned over and sat up, took out his diary, leaned towards the edge of the tent, kept a distance of one meter from the Elf King, and concentrated on recording all the recent events.
When I am away from home, I am always short on time and cannot calm down enough to write a diary properly.
Shu Li wrote furiously, skillfully using the Elvish language to write.
Elvish is the oldest language in the continent of Austin. It is beautiful and elegant, and has similarities with Shu Li's mother tongue.
Time passed by in a rustling sound, and before he knew it, he had written ten pages, and his fingers were tired.
Putting down the pen, he shook his aching right hand, looked up inadvertently, and suddenly met a pair of deep green eyes.
Well?
Is the king looking at him?
How long have you been watching?
How come he didn't notice anything?
Shu Li blinked her tender green eyes.
Being stared at like this by the person he likes, his heart couldn't help but beat fast, his body gradually stiffened, and he didn't dare to make any big movements.
The atmosphere in the tent was a little strange, even the air seemed to have become sweet.
Shu Li controlled his breathing, adjusted his mentality, and tried to act more natural. He swallowed his saliva, mustered up his courage, and took the initiative to speak.
"Wang...um...I want to apologize to you."
"Hmm?" The Elf King looked at the shy little goblin and waited for his next words leisurely.
Being stared at by the emerald green eyes, Shu Li's scalp tingled. He stuttered, "I...I shouldn't have stepped on your..."
He really couldn't say the following two words, so he could only vaguely mention them.
The Elf King raised his lips slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He said nonchalantly, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I was not thoughtful enough."
Shu Li quickly waved her hands. "No, no, no, I was just moving around..."
The Elf King's magic robe can block the Demon Lord's spiritual attacks. He can hide in it safely. As long as he doesn't move around, he won't offend the other party.
But...who made the Elf King's skin so smooth?
Fortunately, he was barefoot at the time, otherwise what if he stepped on it with shoes and got it dirty?
Shu Li shrugged his shoulders and became more and more confused the more he thought about it.
Seeing that the little elf wanted to curl up into a small ball, the Elf King stopped teasing him, put away the book in his hand, and whispered softly: "It's time to go to bed."
"Ah? Oh!" Shu Li immediately lifted the quilt, lay down in the bed, and pulled the quilt to her chin with both hands.
The Elf King reached out and turned off the magic stone lamp, and the interior of the tent suddenly became dark.
Shu Li closed his eyes tightly, but his ears were very sensitive. He heard a slight rustling sound. It was the Elf King lying down.
With one less person in the three-person tent, the beds became larger and no longer had to be as close together as before.
Feeling that there was a safe distance between them, Shu Li slowly relaxed, sleepiness came over her, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.
The Elf King was conscious and lay there motionless. After waiting for a while, the little goblin one meter away from him began to turn over after falling asleep.
He tossed left and right, then kicked the quilt off with his left leg.
He was wearing goblin robes.
The fairy robe is soft, thin and close-fitting, and as the fairy sleeps, her snow-white and slender legs are exposed.
The Elf King can see at night and see everything clearly.
He sighed softly, moved a foot closer to Shu Li, and reached out to pull his quilt.
Unexpectedly, the little goblin smelled a familiar scent and rolled into the arms of the Elf King.
The Elf King's hands were still clutching the quilt, and he looked helplessly at the little elf who was trying to get into his arms.
While sleeping, Shu Li felt like she was leaning against a very elastic and warm wall. She rubbed it with satisfaction, adjusted herself to the most comfortable position, and slept even more soundly.
The Elf King's expression was gentle. He let the little elf press against his chest, lowering his head slightly, his nose touching the soft hair. He raised his hand, wanting to hug the little elf, but his arm stopped halfway. After a moment, he withdrew his hand without making any unnecessary movements.
A dreamless night.
As the sun rises, the temperature in the desert gradually rises.
The people in the tent were woken up by the heat one after another, threw back their quilts, and climbed out sweating profusely.
When Shu Li woke up, he was the only one left in the tent. The quilt had been kicked away somewhere, leaving only a corner covering his belly.
He yawned, sat up and stretched.
The silkworm quilt made by the elves was indeed extraordinary. It kept me warm all night long. Even when the temperature rose in the morning, I didn't feel hot.
Hearing the noise outside, he straightened his clothes and combed his messy blond hair.
His blond hair was slightly curly, unlike the Elf King's straight blond hair. It was a little tangled after he woke up from sleep and needed to be combed out patiently.
After a while, he tied his hair into a high ponytail, and the small flower crown turned into a metal hairband.
To protect himself from the high temperature, he put on a full set of sunstone jewelry, got himself ready, folded his quilt, and left the tent.
The glaring sunlight made him squint.
"Good morning, Sperian," Budno greeted him energetically.
"Good morning, Budno." Shu Li looked at him puzzledly.
It's rare that the sleepy little goblin gets up earlier than him.
Seeing what was in Shu Li's eyes, Budno puffed out his cheeks and said gloomily, "I was woken by the heat."
If it weren't so hot, he could have slept for another hour.
Shu Li laughed, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and reminded him with a wink, "Try the elves' textiles tonight."
Upon hearing this, Budno's eyes lit up.
Yes!
Why didn't he think of it?
Elves' textiles are hundreds of times better than humans', and they are warm in winter and cool in summer. I clearly have a set of them stored in my storage ring, so why not take them out and use them?
"Sperian, you are so smart!" Budno looked at Shu Li with his bright brown eyes.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Shu Li said guiltily.
The truly clever one is the Elf King, he is just using flowers to pay tribute to Buddha.
When people get up in the morning and wash up, the water magician will actively summon the water element and pour clean water into the wooden barrel for everyone to use.
In the Light Team, Budno, Amanda, Shuli, and the Elf King all know water magic.
Seeing that there was clean water in the wooden barrel, Shu Li filled a basin with it and brought it to the side to brush his teeth and wash his face.
The others were busy in an orderly manner.
The Elf King sat before the fire, a long spoon in his hand, slowly stirring the vegetable porridge in the pot.
The aroma of food wafted through the camp, causing Shu Li's stomach to growl.
He poured out the water, walked a few steps to the fire and sat down, waiting for dinner to be served.
Farm, who had been guarding all night, was holding a big fruit in his arms and chewing it happily.
As soon as Shu Li saw the fruit in its arms, he knew that it was a snack given to it by the Elf King.
The Elf King put down his spoon, picked up a piece of toasted bread, and handed it to Shu Li. "Are you hungry? Eat a piece first. The porridge will be ready soon."
"Thank you." Shu Li couldn't resist the temptation of food, took the toast and took a bite.
The baked bread is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet and not greasy, so delicious.
He ate the bread with relish, a look of satisfaction on his face.
The Elf King tilted his head and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Bathed in the golden morning light, his handsome face showed endless tenderness.
Not far away, Kumandi sat cross-legged on a waterproof cushion, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, scribbling with a serious expression.
Angel took a closer look and saw the words on the paper, and a question mark appeared in his head.
[King - Love - Sperian]
What's the meaning?
After breakfast, Team Light packed up their camp and set out on their journey again.
Farm hadn't slept all night and was about to go on strike, but after the Elf King fed it five watermelon-sized fruits, it regained its strength. It grew larger, carrying seventeen people on its back, and ran and leaped across the desert with great energy.
Half a month later, the group successfully found the entrance to the fifth floor.
Thinking of the warning from the Mokasha Adventure Group, Shu Li and the others all disguised themselves, minimizing their appearance as much as possible, put on black hooded cloaks, restrained their aura, and stepped into the teleportation array in a low-key manner.
The entrances and exits of the fifth-level maze are guarded every day. Once a new adventurer is discovered, all major forces will fight fiercely.
The arrival of Team Light immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Anyone with sharp eyes could see their number with a quick glance.
An adventuring team of seventeen adventurers? Ten magicians and three swordsmen.
Excellent! Mostly crispy.
They can be intimidated and coerced into joining the gang. Those who disagree can be arrested, all their value squeezed out, and then sent to the mines as slaves.
Ten waves of people surrounded them with bad intentions.
As Shu Li stepped out of the teleportation array, he was surrounded by hostility. He frowned, quickly raised his magic wand, and without hesitation, instantly cast a light shield.
Those who wanted to move forward almost bumped into the protective shield and stopped in a hurry.
Strange... Did they hear the magician chanting a spell just now?
It seems not.
This protective shield appeared without any warning.
It can defend against both magical and physical attacks and is considered high-level magic.
Could there be a magic saint among this group of new adventurers?
The people from the ten forces were so fearful that they all retreated several meters at the same time, not daring to act rashly.
There is no shortage of mages who enter the Snow Mountain Labyrinth to train. Although you may not encounter one in ten years, their extraordinary strength makes ordinary adventurers retreat.
For fear of angering the Mage Saint-level magician, the people from the ten forces stood still tacitly, watching the new adventurers, wearing protective shields, swaggering past them.
After the people walked away, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Not chasing?" someone asked in a low voice.
"You dare to chase after the Dharma Saint?"
"No, no, no, I'm just a small swordsman. How dare I disrespect the Mage Saint?"
"It's best not to dare."
"But... we haven't had any new recruits in a long time, and half of the slaves in the mines have died."
"When all the slaves are dead, it will be our turn."
"Alas, I don't want to dig in a dark mine every day."
"That's right, we have to hand in the mined minerals. It's such a loss."
"In the past one or two years, there have been fewer and fewer newcomers."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let the Mokasha Adventure Group go."
"Hey, you talk as if you can beat them."
"Stop talking."
"Now you know you're embarrassed, what were you doing earlier?"
“…”
The Light Team passed the waiting checkpoint at the exit without any danger, and continued to follow the map, avoiding the jurisdiction of the ten major forces and heading straight for the dangerous road.
"The fifth-level maze is indeed worthy of its reputation." Hector wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank goodness Sperian was able to shock them with one move." Siti said admiringly.
"We've managed to fool them," Shu Li said. "Let's go quickly. By the time they realize what's happening, they'll be chasing us."
The fifth-level maze is full of mines where no grass or trees grow. The area near the exit has been heavily developed and dug up.
Since all the valuables were gone, the area was deserted and there was not a single miner in sight.
This made it easier for Team Light to have a smooth journey.
Just when Shu Li thought everything was going well, a cloud of dust rose up from a hundred meters away.
Someone was running in front, followed by a group of pursuers.
"Let's move aside." Shu Li ordered, and everyone moved quickly to the side of the road in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the two people who were escaping discovered them and ran straight towards them.
"Run! The dogs are catching the slaves!"
The running man kindly reminded Team Light.
Shu Li's ears moved and he stared at the person who was getting closer and closer.
This voice sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere before.
