Chapter 257
"You really are a snake?!"
The woman in this couple was like a giant python. The moment her legs came together and turned into a snake's tail, Fia stood at attention in fright.
What Fia hates most is this kind of scaly reptile. The faint green light makes her think of all bad things.
The alchemical test tube shot out, and Fia threw it towards the two people desperately.
At the same time, she did not forget to pull Nai Tiaosheng and run away.
The exploding liquid in the test tube splashed everywhere, and then exploded violently.
The snake-esque woman used her supernatural powers to strengthen her skin and used her scales to block the damage from the explosion.
But after the explosion, the medicine liquid expanded and wrapped the woman directly into a foam-like existence.
"Ugh! How disgusting!"
Probably because she hadn't imagined the touch, the bubbles were still drilling into her scales, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, the foam continued to expand, and a lot of it was even inhaled into her nose.
Seeing that Wang was about to run away, but his wife was more important, the man had no choice but to fish his wife out of the bubble first.
When the woman finally saw the light of day again, she felt weak all over.
"Damn...toxic..."
It was her fault for underestimating her enemy. Who could have thought that the little girl with no special abilities could actually use such a hidden weapon.
"Wife, sit down and rest for a while!"
The men were also anxious. They had finally met a "king" who looked easy to bully, but in the end they were ambushed!
Compared with the two people's reluctance, Fia and Nai Tiaosheng, who escaped, breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no time to waste, they must leave Spring immediately! Otherwise, they will meet another supernatural being sooner or later!
Fia pulled out another map from her sleeve, which showed the world of [Spring].
"Look, we are going to the tree of life in the center, and then we will collect the first drop of dew that condenses in the next morning, and drink it."
Feiya read out the method of passing the level written on the map. At this point, she was no longer on guard against Nai Tiaosheng.
"The first drop? Doesn't that mean only one person can leave [Spring] in a day?"
Nai Tiaosheng was a little confused. Besides, no normal person could have imagined that the conditions for passing the level would be so outrageous.
"No, it's the first drop of dew on each leaf. This condition for passing the level is hidden in the buds of the most special flowers in [Spring]. The buds will bloom and emit a strange fragrance every once in a while. You can smell it for a hundred miles around, so don't worry."
But there are only a dozen or so flower buds, and those people are trying to grab them.
The reason why Fia dared to attend the ceremony despite having no real ability was because she had key information that ordinary people did not have.
Now more and more people are entering [Spring], if she doesn't run away, something bad will really happen to her.
"Okay, let's go."
Nai Tiaosheng was once again surprised by the information Feiya had.
"Is it... something your mother left behind?"
He asked his question hesitantly, even though the answer seemed to him to be yes.
Nai Tiaosheng saw that Feiya's fingers clenched instantly, obviously because some "wound" was touched.
But Feiya did not rush back directly like before.
"...Yes, these are the things my mother left behind."
So she firmly believed that her mother was in another network and had an inescapable relationship with this ceremony.
Nai Tiaosheng sighed in his heart, "I'm sorry, Feiya."
"?" Feiya blinked, "What are you apologizing for? Take it back! My mother must be fine! You are such a jinx!"
Fia rushed over and punched Nai Tiaosheng twice, but she didn't use much strength.
Nai Tiaosheng immediately raised his hands and said, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I take it back."
Although that's not what he meant, it does seem a bit ambiguous now.
Fia took back the map of [Spring], glared at him, and walked forward angrily.
This map is actually very different.
There are traces on it of her mother teaching her to write her own name when she was just starting to hold a pen.
Mother...
Fia didn't want to drop the little pearl, so she had to keep moving forward.
Fortunately, it was already late at night, and Nai Tiaosheng probably couldn't see his expression.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally arrived at the so-called "Tree of Life" on the map.
This is a huge tree, and it looks to be nearly a hundred meters tall.
"...How do you climb this high?"
This [Tree of Life] looks just like the standard tree that Fia drew when she was a child, with no branches on its long trunk.
Nai Tiaosheng walked forward and his eyes widened the moment he touched the tree trunk.
Feiya saw his reaction, "What's wrong?"
"This tree trunk is smooth."
The tree trunk looks rough, but when you touch it, you don't feel anything except the skin on your fingertips being pressed.
In reality, absolute smoothness does not exist, but this is the [Alien Network].
Fia was still a little confused until she touched it.
Oh my god, there is really no way to climb now.
"Hiss, to do this, wouldn't it be easier for people with wings?"
Fia muttered to herself, wishing she had the ability to fly.
But there is a solution.
"Hehe, now it's up to me!"
Fia took out a long rope and some tools from her backpack, which turned out to be professional climbing equipment.
"You are really well prepared."
"Of course not! You take this."
As Feiya spoke, she threw a set of ropes to Nai Tiaosheng. She happened to bring two sets just in case.
Then, holding the firing gun high, the end of the rope reached the side trunk of the Tree of Life.
"Great! Success at once! All my time of practice paid off!"
It is said that the rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation. She has neither mutation nor money, so she can only use the stupid method and work several times harder.
This was not the first time that Nai Tiaosheng had felt Fia's determination.
The child must have tried very hard to see his mother.
"Well, you're amazing."
Fia smiled brightly.
"Okay, tie this rope around your waist, and then pull yourself up little by little. As long as we can reach the leaves, we'll be successful!"
Judging from the time, it would be almost sunrise at that time, so they wouldn't stay there for too long.
But because it was night, the remaining fire on Fia's body looked particularly conspicuous, and pulling herself up so high up, she looked like a target...
Nai Tiaosheng frowned.
"You hide down there, I'll go up and help you pick the leaves."
Feiya was stunned, "Huh?"
"The embers on your body are too obvious. You will definitely be discovered from such a high position."
Maybe it will be shot down before the morning dew appears.
Fia looked at herself. The robe that Nai Tiaosheng had given her to cover herself not long ago was gradually stained with residual fire and was no longer useful.
It was as deadly as a fire appearing in a dark forest.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
Nai Tiaosheng thought Feiya was worried about this.
"I didn't think so! But can you really climb up there? Have you ever received similar training before?"
With just a long rope and the simple climbing tools she provided, climbing up this smooth tree trunk...it was extremely difficult.
Nai Tiaosheng hesitated. Although he had been working hard since then, even if his superpowers were not strong, he had to ensure that his physical fitness was up to standard. However, he had never tried rock climbing.
"How about this, I'll change it and pull you up!"
Fia thought about it and decided to agree. If something happened to her now, not only would she lose the chance to see her mother, but she might also drag Nai Tiaosheng into trouble.
Although she couldn't figure out how to help Nai Tiaosheng get the remaining fire of other [Kings] for the time being, she could only take it one step at a time.
So she shook off the remaining fire and ashes on her robe, put it on again, and began to carry the Tree of Life.
They only have this one chance tonight. By tomorrow, when the exotic flowers are in full bloom and everyone knows the conditions for passing the level, they will be doomed.
The world of [Spring] was undoubtedly the most physically and mentally comfortable world they had ever walked through. Even at night it was starry. When Nai Tiaosheng climbed to mid-air, he could already feel its beauty.
But there was no time to appreciate the scenery. Nai Tiaosheng continued to climb up and felt that his arms were protesting.
After all, he had only a rope to rely on, and the tree trunk was smooth.
Finally reaching the tree crown and being able to touch the leaves, Nai Tiaosheng quickly tied the knot.
And Fia below was almost exhausted.
Nai Tiaosheng's weight is not that heavy, but if she were to pull it, she would be overweight.
After tying the knot, Fia hid in the grass.
When it's almost dawn, Nai Tiaosheng will throw something down, which will be a signal for him to go down, and then she will run out again.
I'm so nervous. I've always been like this before, but now that I have a companion, Fia, I can't stay calm.
Maybe she doesn't want to implicate others...
But it seems that accidents are more likely to happen at times like this.
Suddenly, she heard something whizzing past, piercing through the air.
A head popped out from the bushes, and Fia, who had excellent eyesight, saw it. It was... a dart?!
He was actually going for Nai Tiaosheng's safety rope? !
The first hit missed the rope that was swaying in the wind, but the second hit cut the rope in half!
If he gets hit again, Nai Tiaosheng might fall down!!!
In a hurry, Feiya no longer cared about herself and jumped out directly, "Stop!"
Only then did she realize that they were the couple she had gotten rid of before!
"Heh, I knew it was you. You made me poisoned and yet you still wanted to run away!"
The snake-ess woman still feels a little unwell. If she hadn't urged to chase after him, she would have probably lost him!
Fia bit her lower lip and frantically thought of a solution.
She could run, but what about Nai Tiaosheng! She absolutely couldn't leave him alone, he would definitely fall to his death from this height!
Do I really have to give up...
If she had known this would happen, she should have given Yu Huo to Nai Tiao Sheng. At least he would have a chance to meet the person he wanted to meet...
"Wait a minute! I'll give you the ember! But I have a condition!"
Fia clenched her fists nervously.
"Otherwise I can still run! You can't catch me at all!"
The couple looked at each other, and the snake-like woman sneered, "It's not up to you to decide whether you can catch up, little girl, but for my kindness, tell me, what are you going to do?"
"Let me get that old man down from the tree, and I'll give you the embers."
Of course, Fia still had a glimmer of hope.
Maybe some dew has condensed early, and as long as Nai Tiao scoops it up and takes it, they can still survive!
She would be a fool if she continued to trust the scheming little girl.
"Okay, you are a kind-hearted girl." Unexpectedly, her husband spoke first.
The woman rolled her eyes and punched her man, not expecting the idiot to be around, "Idiot!"
Then she turned back, "Give me the ember now, and we'll help you get him back."
