Chapter 163: Exploring the Misty Forest Again
When she was busy, she was filled with endless energy. Shen Jiang had originally planned to rest in this corner for a while and then find an excuse to leave. But the moment her butt touched the ground, Shen Jiang realized that the last bit of her strength had been completely exhausted with this movement. If she hadn't been leaning against the wall at this moment, she really might have fallen flat on her face.
She was so tired, her body was so exhausted that she could even fall asleep in this dusty little corner.
No, I can't fall asleep here. Shen Jiang, already so exhausted her eyelids were battling to open, now used all her strength to fight the exhaustion. But she really didn't have the energy to get up, to stay awake until she found a completely closed and empty room.
Shen Jiang stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the figure that was always around him. His fingers trembled involuntarily, and then he was held by a pair of warm and strong hands.
Godwin looked at the believer with some concern: "Are you okay?"
Shen Jiang squeezed his fingers tightly: "Take me home, now."
Her eyes were no longer as cunning as before, but were filled with obvious fatigue and anxiety.
Godwin had no doubts and nodded without hesitation, which made Shen Jiang feel relieved. She relaxed a little and began to think about how she could get out of here.
Unconsciously, Shen Jiang's eyelids finally stopped fighting. Even when Godwin picked her up, her slightly fluttering black eyelashes still did not open. Instead, she moved closer to the warm side of her body, rubbed it, and finally found the most comfortable position.
Godwin's originally relaxed expression suddenly stiffened. He felt as if a tingling electric current was flowing through his body, and his earlobes instantly turned red.
Shen Jiang was awakened by a blinding flash of light. The moment she awoke, she realized she had drifted off to sleep. Before she could recall the events before her drowsiness, the familiar golden gate of her body's memory slowly opened. Shen Jiang's spirits lifted. She could finally go find the musk deer to stock up on musk!
However, the next moment, her eyes unexpectedly met a pair of golden pupils full of shock. Before Shen Jiang could say anything, her body was swallowed by the golden gate.
Oops.
Shen Jiang didn't expect that Godwin had always been by his side.
He seemed to have always believed that the "curse" on her had disappeared since he came to her world. Because this so-called "curse" was originally a lie she made up to deceive the dragon, the more Shen Jiang went on, the harder it was to explain it. After all, she couldn't explain to Godwin that she had deceived and fooled him.
Thinking that Godwin had regained his full strength, Shen Jiang's eyes flashed with fear. If he burned or destroyed the golden gate in anger after she disappeared, she would never be able to return!
After landing, Shen Jiang immediately turned around to look at the door that teleported him here, and saw that the door was really different from before. It shook unsteadily at first, and then as if it had dropped frames, black vertical stripes appeared on the door body.
Shen Jiang's heartbeat immediately slowed down.
This was the saying, "Misfortunes never come singly." Forget about the fact that if she found Musk and couldn't return, countless families in Nanze City would be shattered. If the dragon Godwin truly lost control and went berserk, not only Nanze, but the entire world might be destroyed.
Ellis and Catherine saw the witch's portal from afar. Ellis supported his wife and walked towards this side, interrupting Shen Jiang's thoughts.
"Ms. Shen Jiang, we have been waiting for you for a long time. You are finally here. Good morning!"
Shen Jiang raised his head and his eyes fell on Catherine's slightly bulging belly. As his gaze moved upwards, Catherine's originally beautiful face was now filled with a soft glow.
Some people face death, while others welcome new life.
"Congratulations, Catherine." Shen Jiang was sincerely happy for her.
Catherine seemed to have been waiting for her words. She smiled and said, "Thank you. With your blessing, I feel extremely strong."
Shen Jiang couldn't call Ellis, as Catherine needed her lover by her side. Luckily, she still had Quick and Priest, whose combined strength was more than enough to take on the Grand Mage. Controlling a herd of mule deer shouldn't be a problem, but extracting musk from them would likely be a delicate task she'd have to handle on her own.
After Shen Jiang checked Catherine's pulse and found that she was in very good health, he did not hesitate and asked Red Dragon Quick to take him out.
She had to hurry and fly to the Misty Forest. It would take at least two or three hours to fly from here to the Misty Forest. By the time she found the mule deer and obtained the musk, it would probably be dark. She needed the more musk the better, so now was the time to hurry.
Because Priest's prototype had wings, the red dragon Quick initially refused to let this guy ride on him, but their speeds were simply not on the same level. Shen Jiang didn't have time to watch their bickering and directly threatened: "Take Priest and I will give you 20 top-grade large magic stones."
Quick's reaction was indifferent. In a very natural way, he invited Priest to come up: "What are you waiting for? Let's go as soon as possible."
Catherine watched the witch leave and said to her lover, "The witch seems to be in a bad mood today. I have a bad feeling."
Ellis hugged his wife's slightly bloated back and said soothingly, "You're overthinking it. The Witch Master can always accomplish whatever she wants, right?"
Catherine thought about it, and it was true. An expression of relief finally appeared on her sentimental face.
Shen Jiang had already explained today's mission to Quick and Priest during the flight: to find big-eared deer.
She said: "I need something from them. Whoever can help me find it can make a wish for me. Whoever finds more can also make an extra wish."
Priest raised an eyebrow. "You mean, I can have a ten-year supply of the potion?"
Quick: "A ton of Philosopher's Stone?"
Shen Jiang's mouth twitched at the rude wishes of these two greedy disciples. No, it should be said that they were just dreams.
But she said, “Okay.”
Shen Jiang: "As long as you find enough mule deer before I leave, I can make it happen. The premise is that you find enough mule deer."
Priest was a little surprised by her generosity. You know, this black witch was usually very stingy, and it was hard for her to agree to give him a few potions.
Quick increased his flying speed without thinking. Just kidding, he was a wind dragon, and speeding up was a piece of cake for him.
In the end, Shen Jiang took one hour and fifty minutes, which was nearly half the time, to reach the outskirts of the misty forest.
The mist in the Misty Forest never dissipates all year round. Even when looking down from a high altitude, you can only see the pine branches on the outermost side of the mist.
Quick intended to get ahead, so he used wind magic directly on a part of the forest. Shen Jiang clearly saw the fog there rolling rapidly under the wind and spreading to both sides, revealing its true appearance.
But there was nothing there.
Quick repeated the same trick, calling several of his bets, but still saw no sign of the deer. Not only did they not see any deer, but they also saw no other magical creatures or ordinary animals.
Priest realized something and yelled, "You cunning bad dragon, you cheated."
Quick snorted disdainfully, "You have wings on your back, and no dragon can restrict your freedom."
He has a dislike for stupidity, and no dragon can tolerate such a stupid bat.
After being reminded by him, Priest suddenly came to his senses and jumped off the dragon's back without hesitation.
The giant black bat transformed into a human shape as soon as it landed on the ground. Priest made a contemptuous gesture towards the giant bat above his head, then plunged into the misty forest without looking back.
He must find the big-eared deer before that conceited dragon does!
Priest hadn't said it, but he actually had a guess about the location of the mule deer. It was he who had released them into the Misty Forest a few years ago. That location wasn't too far from here, and by the time the Red Dragon had cleared the fog, he would have found them long ago.
Before Priest could reach the place he remembered, several human magicians in uniform came towards him and ran into him a few steps away.
"Priest!"
Priest heard a familiar young female voice calling his name.
