Seven days later, on the morning of a road outside the forest.
The two tall young men patted each other's shoulders excitedly.
They were both wearing brown tight leather armor. One was called Holly and the other was called Tag.
Although they both have human form, they are not from the human race, but from the tree people.
There are not many tree people who can transform into human form, and there are only about ten of them who went out to explore in the early years.
They were scattered across the continent, pretending to be humans and adventuring around the Eastern Continent.
Every now and then he would find something precious or novel, stock up some and bring it back to his territory, and then go out again.
This time, Holly accidentally saved Sophia, and now he needs to find a way to send her back, so he finds Tag, who is closest to him.
"Tag, what are you doing recently? I haven't seen you for a long time." Holly patted Tag's shoulder happily.
"It's still the same as always, taking bounty missions everywhere, and then going to various places to have a look. But why did you write to me to make an appointment to meet here today? Did you find something good?" Tag took a small step back because of the force of his pat on the shoulder, and asked calmly while stabilizing his body.
"No, look, I also drove a carriage here because I need to travel a long distance." Holly pointed at the carriage.
The carriage was pulled by two large horses, had four wooden wheels with oak hubs, and the carriage was made of wood with a relatively wide board extending in front for the coachman to sit on.
The car has a simple body shape, an arched roof, no excessive decoration, and the middle door on the side is made particularly large.
Tag was even more surprised. Asking him to go on a long journey together? Didn't they always go on adventures alone? Had this guy become a coward?
As soon as Holly saw his expression, he knew that he had strayed from the right idea, so he pulled him to the carriage and opened the door.
There was actually a big water tank inside!
"What's this for? Why put a big water tank in it? Aren't you afraid it might get damaged on the road?"
Seeing how surprised he was, Holly began to explain the reason for meeting him and the purpose of the carriage.
"So, you have already explored the route? Now you are worried that the road is not safe, so you asked me to go to the beach with you?" After hearing the whole story, Tag understood.
"Yes, there are no other members of the tribe who can transform into human form. As you know, humans don't treat other races very well, so the elders asked me to go ahead and explore the route. I also want to find you, who is closest to me, so that we can escort that poor little mermaid girl back together."
Holly spread his hands towards Tag, "You have no idea how much trouble I've put myself in just for this act of kindness. It took me five days just to find a way to the beach, prepare the carriage, invite you, and discuss it with the elders... I've already been away from adventures for almost a month."
Tag raised his foot and pretended to kick him, but Holly quickly dodged it.
"Come on! You saved a life, it's a good thing, much more worth taking risks." Tag scolded with a smile: "No problem, I'll go with you. Let's go to the forest and pick up the mermaid quickly. We'll be on the road soon."
Holly nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the tribe to ask for help, you stay here and look after the carriage."
As he said that, Holly easily picked up the big water tank from the carriage and ran into the forest.
......
The lively lakeside.
Lingling and a few little tree people were playing games by the lake, and they were playing Bai Jiu's game "Eagle Catches Chicken".
Lingling is the eagle and her brothers are the chicks.
The little guy ran so hard that his hair on his forehead was soaked, but he still didn't catch a single "chicken".
But it didn't stop the little guy from being happy.
"Hehehe~" The little guy giggled and laughed while grabbing his brothers.
Sophia was lying leisurely by the lake, looking at Lingling's cute little appearance, with a smile on her lips.
Seeing that their sister was tired and couldn't catch them, the brothers pretended to run slowly or fall down.
"Ouch~"
"Ah~ I fell down"
"Oh no, I'm going to be caught!"
Several brothers called out in a serious manner, and then Lingling ran over and caught them one by one.
"Haha, you stupid brothers, you must have been caught by Lingling." The little guy grabbed the branches of several of his brothers and raised his little chin proudly.
Alphonse was forced to fake a fall by his brothers. He wanted to say something angrily, but his third brother, Alan, gently pulled him back.
"You're awesome, sister. You won! Take a break. You look sweaty." Fourth brother Alec touched his sister's hair affectionately.
Lingling nodded her little head, let go of her brothers, and walked towards Sophia.
When the brothers saw that their sister had abandoned them, they did not get angry, but went to find the adult tree people who were looking after them to train them.
Train! Train! Protect my sister!
"Sister, Lingling won the game~"
The little girl walked to the lake and lay down skillfully. She was wearing long pants today so she could lie down and play freely.
"Lingling is really amazing~"
As she spoke, her two little hands naturally closed together and held the hand that Sophia extended to her.
Hehe, stick with the pretty girl.
Lingling, who can't go into the water, especially likes to hold Sophia's slender hand and play with it.
Sophia also likes the feeling of holding hands with Lingling. The little cutie's hands are tender and soft, and feel really good to touch.
She smiled dotingly and responded, "Sister saw it, Lingling is awesome!"
Lingling, who likes to be praised and is particularly shy, has a red face and is very happy.
Suddenly, there was a noise from behind.
"Sophia! We are here to take you home!" Holly's voice came from far away in the woods.
