Chapter 277 276. Puji Remember You
Tree House Market area.
"Little Ji——!" Every time Ellawen cried out, it was as if her throat was being strangled. It started with the courage of a desperate gamble, but ended with only a faint, distorted aftertaste.
An intense feeling of shame burned her cheeks and ears, and every breath felt hot.
This was the third day. She forced herself to speak more clearly, tried to look straight ahead, and deliberately ignored the gazes from all around.
She felt a little regretful now. If she had known that she would be with her brother, she would have looked for the piece above first...
But thinking that Xiaoji might encounter an accident while alone in the forest, she took a deep breath, suppressed her cowardice, and mustered up the courage to call out again.
Not far away, two beautiful female elves who had been looking at this side frowned. One of the elves, a blonde with a colorful bird perched on her shoulder, turned around with an undisguised look of annoyance on her face.
"Hey! Enough, Ellawen?" The blonde elf's voice was clear but harsh. "This isn't your hunting ground! Are you going to make a fuss?"
She is Verania, an "acquaintance" of Ellaven.
The elf next to him chimed in, "Exactly. What are you looking for, pathetically? Are those weird 'treasures' you picked up again?" She emphasized the word "treasure." "Bear, python, fur ball? Only that parrot looks normal."
Lina counted on her fingers, and with each name she named, the mockery in her smile grew stronger: "Birds of a feather flock together. The owners are weird, and the pets they raise are weirder than the last."
Ellawen turned her head away, not looking at the other person, and clenched her hands for a long time, intending to leave immediately.
But Vilania suddenly said, "Why are you leaving? Tell me, what incredible thing is this? Maybe we've actually seen it!"
Ellawen hesitated for a moment, then managed a few unclear syllables: "Puff... Puff... Long, long wings..."
"Puchi?!" Vilania imitated the sound with extreme exaggeration. She then exchanged a glance with her companion and burst into even sharper, piercing laughter. "Puhahahaha! Those lowly, stinking mushrooms that only grow in mud and dark caves?! Ellaven, you really are... not picky! You pick up everything and bring it home! Hahaha!"
They laughed so hard that they fell over.
However, at the moment when the clamor of laughter reached its peak—
The colorful bird that had been resting on Vilania's shoulder, gracefully preening its gorgeous feathers, suddenly disappeared without a warning!
Only a colorful tail feather swirled and landed lightly at her feet.
Vilania's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face was quickly replaced by astonishment and confusion: "Liuliyu? Where is my Liuliyu?"
The other elf's laughter got stuck in his throat. "What...what's going on?"
The two looked around hurriedly, their eyes sweeping over the branches and leaves and the stalls, but they couldn't even find the shadow of the colorful bird.
Just as they were in a state of panic and turned around in haste—
“Snap!” “Snap!”
Two extremely subtle sounds, almost drowned out by the surrounding noise, rang out almost simultaneously.
Verania and her companions felt their waists suddenly loosen!
“Aaaaaaaaaaa——!”
"What?!"
Under the astonished gaze of the surrounding crowd, the two elf ladies squatted down in embarrassment, holding up their fallen pants. They were filled with shame and anger, but they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Not far away, Ellawen looked at the sudden chaotic scene in confusion. At this moment, she felt a familiar, heavy touch above her head!
"Xiao Ji!" A warm and solid feeling of security instantly surged through my body, dispelling all the pent-up grievances and panic.
The invisible scout kicked twice, signaling Ellaven that it was time to leave.
In fact, it’s not that no one can see through Puji’s invisibility.
Just from the panel, there are at least two elves nearby who can clearly see through the trick of [Refractive Invisibility], but neither of them stepped forward.
Of course, this is also the reason why Puji did not directly cut the two elves apart. It was just breaking two belts, which was just a minor conflict.
Even if you don't understand the elven language, you can tell at a glance that these two guys are bullying their elven mounts just by looking at the scene.
That's why there are so many people here...
It was not until they returned to the quiet forest below that Ellawen fumbled to take Puji down from her head.
Scout Puji lost his invisibility, revealing his round figure.
"Little Ji! I finally found you!" Ellawen happily rubbed Puji's soft mushroom cap. Then she skillfully reached into the pocket under the mushroom cap, on Puji's abdomen, and indeed, pulled out an unconscious colorful bird. "Were you helping me just now? You're so kind!"
Puji stretched out its mycelial tentacles, seemingly wanting to stuff this beautiful "trophy" back into the bag, but Ellawen gently stopped him: "Little Ji, be good and let this little guy go, okay?"
The mycelial tentacles hesitated in the air for two seconds, and finally retracted.
The awakened colorful bird huddled in Ellawen's palm, glanced at Puji beside it in horror, and was then gently lifted up by Ellawen, flapping its wings and flying into the woods in panic.
Lin Jun was a little interested in its [Colorful] skill. Perhaps it could cultivate colorful mushrooms?
But it's not far away anyway. It won't be too late to "visit" her after the fungus net is laid out, carrying Ellawen on my back.
As soon as the door was opened, Feifei immediately flew over, chirping happily. However, the moment she caught a glimpse of the white figure above Ellawen's head, she suddenly braked in mid-air, turned back in fear, and rushed into the backyard like lightning.
The scout jumped off his "mount" lightly and walked to the backyard.
Feifei was seen shivering and hiding in the thick fur of the Earth Bear.
When Douding and Paopao saw Puji coming, they immediately lowered their bodies to the ground. Only the silly fur ball was still lazily basking in the sun, completely unaware.
Puji patted their heads one by one with its mycelial tentacles, even the reluctant Feifei.
Seeing Xiaoji getting along so "harmoniously" with his friends, Ellawen felt warm in her heart. The hard work of running around in the past few days and the grievances he suffered on the streets disappeared in an instant!
In the days that followed, Scout Puji wandered back and forth between several nearby potion shops during the day, and would return to the cabin at night to show his face. He also found out where the two elves and the colorful bird lived.
Just take it easy and wait for the fungal mat in the dungeon to spread up!
During this period, an uninvited guest arrived on the Arctic ice field.
He has a strong build and dark magic patterns all over his body.
This level 60 demon named Galen was discovered by the fungal mat covering the surface before he even reached the tribe.
