4. Chapter IV
Just when the two were playing around, there was a strange sound suddenly in the cold forest, and Christina suddenly reflexively looked back vigilantly, tensed her body defensively, and made a standard combat posture.
"Xiaoka, do you think this will be the first test that the elder said?" her little face was tense and stern, ready to fight at any time.
"How could it be, it must have been just the sound of the wind blowing, but even if it was a beast or a dragon, the great Lord Carrera would cut it down to the ground to protect you-"
Carrera flapped her wings disapprovingly, showing off her sharp wings, and spoke unashamedly, but before she could finish speaking, the sound of something moving rapidly in the woods suddenly sounded—
“…… Woo wow, daughter-in-law, protect me, QAQ!"
Carrera's wings trembled, and she quickly flew behind Christina, as if because someone was in the way in front of him, he finally felt safe, and couldn't help but sneak out and look at the source of the sound vigilantly.
"Who, who's it! Get out of here, Wei, the great Karrera is not afraid of you, haha, just one, one slash - you will die, you know?!
Christina: "......" sure enough, ate him.
The girl helplessly glanced at the bluffing but unconsciously trembling winged bird, and thought so in her heart.
The content in "Bird Appreciation" is actually a lie, how can such a timid bird have a double S-level danger level...... Sure enough, before leaving, what my mother said was right, Xiaoka is a reserve grain for fattening and slaughtering, right?
"Wait a minute, daughter-in-law!" Suddenly finding that the posture of the girl in front of her seemed to be wrong, Carrera couldn't help but hold her face with her wings and exclaimed in horror, "What about your spiritual power! You are a flower spirit master, a flower spirit master!
Christina: "...... yes, it's not a fight with Sila.
Her pale cheeks were dyed as pale pink as snow-coated peach blossoms, and then she silently straightened up, reaching sideways to caress the green and strange vines around her. After feeling that the vine did not refuse but became close to her, the corners of her lips were dyed with a gentle smile, and she no longer hesitated to control him to surround herself and Carrera, who couldn't wait to jump in, to form a natural protective circle.
However, the two waited for a long time, and there was no movement in the tall grass in front of them. Christina not only did not let her guard down, but became more and more cautious, she frowned slightly, her eyes staring at the grass with condensation, and the spiritual power attached to the vines was ready to be unleashed.
"Daughter-in-law, did we hear me wrong?" said Carrera, jumping on the girl's shoulder, puzzled.
"Don't think so simply, the beasts and birds have always been very patient, and they will definitely lie motionless and lie dormant until the prey relaxes their vigilance before they pounce and attack. Christina said seriously, her always soft and sweet voice seemed to be dyed with a little solemnity at this time, the breeze gently blew the corners of her dress and skirt, and the girl with calm and sharp eyes seemed to suddenly become a warrior at this time, looking neat and handsome.
Such a heroic daughter-in-law has a sense of security o(*////▽////*)q
"Daughter-in-law, how do you know this?" asked Carrera, burying her face in her overlapping wings, and asked in a muffled voice.
The pear vortex on Christina's lips loomed, with an indescribable cuteness. I saw her smile and said calmly and sweetly and softly, "That's what I did when I fought with Syra, and she was never as patient as me, so she never won against me." ”
Carrera: "......"
But when time passed imperceptibly, and there was still no movement in the grass, Christina couldn't help but be a little puzzled. She stroked her hand over the vine that seemed to be a little restless, and bit her lip and couldn't help but make up her mind. The elder had said that you should not stay outside the barrier for a long time, and if you wait any longer, you don't know what you will encounter.
The vine stretched forward faintly, suddenly splitting into two strands that cleverly pushed through the thick grass, and then cautiously probed inside.
— and yet found nothing.
Carrera staggered and said depressedly, "Tina, we're too nervous, aren't we?"
This time Christina also began to be suspicious, and just as she was about to say something, the vine seemed to have suddenly tripped over something, and she subconsciously pounced forward, but fortunately Carrera grabbed her shoulder with her claws in time and pulled her back hard, only to stop for a moment before being dragged into the grass.
"Tina, are you alright?" asked Carrera hurriedly, "Are there any injuries?"
Christina shook her head slightly, half-crouched in front of the vines that suddenly began to tremble slightly, and frowned and looked up at the grass.
"There...... There is something. She judged with certainty.
And it must be something terrible, otherwise the vines that have lived here for a long time would not be so afraid.
"Well, let's go Tina then. Carrera blinked her black bean eyes and stammered, "Anyway, it won't get in our way, let's run before he comes!"
Christina hesitated, then nodded and stood up. But as she was about to leave, she was about to leave when a slight, small moan came from the depths of the grass.
Christina paused.
Carrera shuddered, "Tina, what's wrong?"
"Did you hear that voice?" asked Christina, staring at the front with her eyes firmly ahead, earnestly and sternly.
"Voice?" Carrera swallowed, "No, no, it must have been Tina, you heard it wrong, haha, are you too nervous?"
Christina: "......" Who the hell is nervous, you are so scared that you can't hear anything.
She sighed slightly, but she couldn't help the curiosity that itched like a kitten's scratching, and finally decided to move forward after a long hesitation.
Seeing her death-like move, Carrera's mouth suddenly opened in surprise, and she quickly stretched out her wings to intercept her, "...... Tina, don't-"
Christina didn't stop, she pushed the grass away, and then parted with the blades of grass to reveal a path.
Then, the two of them couldn't help but be horrified.
