Chapter 395: Deep in the Snow Forest
The leaves were walking through the treetops and green leaves, looking for lightning and Maisie. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, it would not be accurate to say that she was walking, her body had melted into the dense forest, and it was only her gaze that moved.
It was a strange feeling, and she felt more at ease than a bird—at least if it didn't flap its wings, it would fall to the ground, but she wouldn't. As long as she remained in this form, she could rush from one end of the fusion forest to the other in the blink of an eye.
Of course, compared to the whole picture of the Hidden Forest, the scope of the leaves now is still only a drop in the ocean.
Since her abilities evolved, she has set her sights on the Hidden Forest to the west of the town.
If you can control this vast forest, whether it is fighting evil beasts or collecting supplies, it can help His Highness Roland a lot. There wasn't much she could give back to Her Highness, and that was the only thing she could do other than improve the crops.
Compared to the castle's back garden, this is a real forest, far more complex than the ecosystem of olive trees and vines. Every inch of the land is full of creatures, and if you look down the roots of plants, you can feel dormant animals, wriggling reptiles, rotting corpses, and small flowing water.
In order not to lose consciousness, she carefully expanded her territory, starting with the western front wall, merging a little bit each day, and when she was fully adapted, adding a new woodland.
At this rate, in two or three years, she will be able to cover the entire territory of the Hidden Forest.
In a few moments, Leaf found the two men who were hunting in the woods—she could sense their position more quickly if she had not flown to the treetops, but walked on the snow.
"I found a prey," said the leaf shaking the branches.
"Ah," Lightning shuddered at first, then patted his chest, "you scared me." ”
"Coo-goo!" Maisie nodded.
"I'm sorry," the leaf let its figure emerge from the trunk like a newly grown branch, "wouldn't that be better?"
"Well, at least not like you're talking to a ghost," the lightning landed lightly on the ground, "and you can be anywhere in the forest at will?"
"As long as it's the area I control," she nodded.
Maisie landed straight on the back of the leaf, took two steps back and forth, and pecked at the junction between her body and the trunk, "You actually grew into the tree!"
Ye Zi felt an itch on his back, and couldn't help laughing, "This is my ability." ”
"It's a little weird. ”
"You're embarrassed to say that others are weird, and you can become a giant devil bird," Lightning glanced at the pigeon, and then looked at the leaves, "Where is the prey?"
"Follow me," she said, tilting her head.
Unable to maintain a human form when moving, the leaves simply let vines erect on the ground to guide a man and a bird forward.
"What kind of prey is it?" Lightning asked.
"A big boar, coming from the depths of the forest," she replied, "do you really want to do it yourself, I can tie it up with the vines and throw it at the foot of the wall." ”
"Of course, explorers seek more than just the result," the little girl said, "and sometimes the process is more memorable than the result." ”
"As long as there's meat to eat, goo!"
Ye Zi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, before he fused into the Hidden Forest, the two of them were already frequent visitors here. The way they practiced their magic was to hunt in the forest, and Maisie carried all the prey back to the castle. Half of the meat on the table is now provided by them.
"Oh, there," Ye said.
I saw a huge wild boar squatting by the stream, licking the icy water. The fangs on the side of its mouth are thick and sharp, and the mane on its body is about the length of a finger, making it look very tricky. Hunters usually shy away when they encounter such beasts, but for witches, they are nothing more than a good meal.
"I'm on," Lightning said, pulling out his dagger.
"Don't you need a gun?" Ye Zi said in surprise.
"That would be too unchallenging. She confidently touched her nose and rushed straight towards her target.
"Come on!"
The little girl's figure was like a golden light, and in the blink of an eye it swooped down from behind on top of the boar's head, and then one rose up, and the target shook its head and erupted into a high-pitched scream.
Didn't hit? No...... Ye Zi noticed that one of the boar's eyes had turned into a bloody hole. It seems that Lightning intends to use his flexible mobility to first eliminate the threat of the enemy's counterattack, and then use the method of attrition to drain the vitality of the prey little by little.
In the face of lightning's air superiority, the boar was as clumsy as a stone, and it didn't take long for it to lose its ability to resist and collapse in the snow.
She whistled, "How's it going?"
"Well done," the leaf control vine wrapped around the boar's hind legs, hanging it up. "Let's drain its blood first, Your Highness says that meat without blood stains tastes better. ”
"Gollum," Maisie swallowed, "to have a full meal tonight." ”
"Wait......" Leaf suddenly felt another creature break into the forest, and she turned her gaze to the edge of the control area, only to see two gray-haired wolves approaching this way.
Something wasn't right, she frowned, these beasts were like creatures that roamed the depths of the forest, and even in winter, they rarely ran so close to a border town.
She was hesitating to tell the news to Lightning, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared in front of her—Ye Zi felt the cold hairs all over her body stand up, and the terrible battle that had befallen her in the wilderness came back to her mind in an instant.
Devil!
She saw two burly demons slowly moving towards the city walls, their arms not wearing magic stones and spears on their backs, as if they were not carrying weapons, but Ye Zi noticed that they were both wearing a black iron glove, which was the same weapon that killed the Red Peppers.
Why did the devil come here?
With great fear and uneasiness, she retracted her consciousness back to Lightning, "Get out of here, the devil is coming!"
"What?" the two of them were slightly stunned.
After briefly recounting what he saw, Ye Zi urged, "Let's go, they don't have mounts, they can't catch up with you two, I'll follow you." ”
To her surprise, Lightning hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm going to stay and fight them." ”
"Battle...... Dou?" Ye Zi was stunned, "Why?"
"If you run away when you meet the enemy now, how can you defeat them later?" the little girl took a deep breath and pulled her pistol from her waist, "Dad said that where you fall, you get up from there." I'm not going to run away anymore. ”
