4. Inexplicable hugs

"We ...... Let's hurry up. Eve tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, but in exchange for a faint glance from Allen, with a little inexplicable hostility.

They were walking in the Black Forest of Curaro, and the bone dragon was wounded, and flying rashly would expose itself to the sight of Allen's enemies, so they had to use the most primitive method: walking.

But the bone dragon thought that the storage ring was too stuffy, and rubbed the corners of Allen's black robe, I don't know if it was because of the shrinkage, and the cry was also small and squeamish, which made Eve can't help but think of the pets raised by the noble ladies. It's very different from the behemoths I've seen earlier.

"Actually, it's a relatively safe area." Fern scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "That's where I got it wrong." ”

Eve nodded in understanding, after all, people make mistakes. Alan, on the other hand, looked like he was about to die, which made Fern want to go crazy.

As they walked through a section of woods, the trees grew in strange colors, turning from brown trunks to dark brown, and further inside, even as dark as Alan's robes.

The dead leaves on the ground made a "rustling" sound, and Eve couldn't see the road clearly, and sometimes her heart trembled twice when she stepped on a few dead branches, for fear that a terrible monster would pop out.

Just after stepping on a few branches, two crows swept through the sky, and suddenly there was a "quack", which frightened Eve to fall down with "wow" and directly hit Alan in front.

Alan was visibly unhappy with her fuss and torturing her eardrums, "Be quiet, it's only spring, and many high-level magical creatures are dormant, do you want to wake them all up?" ”

"Right...... I'm sorry. With Fern's help, Eve stood, rubbing her temples in frustration, for she had pampered flowers in the palace like a conservatory, and had never seen a thief. Ever since she was captured by the fire dragon Lauren, she has been living in all kinds of fears, and Eve feels that her nerves are a little weakened, and the rumors are all about the grass and trees.

Alan turned around and continued to walk forward, but privately spoke to Fern through his mental power: "She is about to enter the dangerous area, and she doesn't know any magic. ”

Alan's intention was obvious, he was going to leave Eve here. Fern quietly glanced at Eve, who was hurrying with his head down, that is, there was no male hair, heat, and expectation, and he couldn't bear to leave an unarmed girl in the cannibalistic forest, "I'll keep an eye on her." ”

"......," Alan said helplessly, "Forget it, after all, not all higher creatures can reasonably control the hormonal impulses of hair, estrus, and periods, especially some that are not evolutionary enough." I'm making an exception to allow you to have a mate of your own, as long as you're not as wild as a rat. ”

Fern gritted his teeth in anger, estrus is a normal reaction for all living beings! But Allen was able to relax, or he didn't expect it.

Eve had never walked so long, from having a good breakfast to now, although it was difficult to tell the time of day in the Black Forest, they had walked at least all morning!

Eve's delicate soles grinded out two blisters, and it hurt and hurt, but looking at Alan's dark back, she still swallowed the words that asked for rest back into her stomach.

It wasn't until Fern noticed that her body was almost unsupportable, and said, "Master, let's stop and rest for a while." It's lunchtime. ”

"Are you hungry?" Alan turned his head and said impatiently, "Humans are trouble. The little bone dragon leaned into Alan's arms and cried out twice in cooperation, as if they were one of their kind.

Fern and Eve, who are troublesome humans: "......"

But he stopped, and as Fern pulled pots and pans and fresh meat and vegetables from his own storage ring, and made a fire with his magic to pour out a pile of dishes.

"The environment here is shabby, so you can only eat it." Eve looked at Fern dumbfoundedly, and he even took out a table and three chairs from the small ring.

"It's not shabby, it's already hearty." Eve sat down in her chair and felt like a new lease of life in her aching legs.

"Miss Eve, you're so gracious." There were chicken, beef, and stir-fried vegetables on the table, all of which Eve had never seen before, and Fern was still muttering, "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring the raw materials for dessert, so I'm really wronged by you." ”

"No...... Not really. ”

The three countries on the Luo'an continent used to pay attention to the rules, especially when it came to dining. But after the Battle of Nadis, it slowly died out.

Fern comes from an old, rigid family with a deep-rooted adherence to certain rituals. Eve wanted to take a sip of borscht, but Fern stopped her, "Miss Eve, you should eat foie gras first." The soup should be left behind to drink. ”

"Oh, good." Eve wanted to follow the local customs, so she did what Fern asked to eat foie gras first.

After eating foie gras, Eve was just about to drink the soup, and found that Alan on the opposite side was holding the bone dragon and looking at them boredly, his eyes were full of urging, Eve was a little unbearable by him, although his eyes were smaller than Lauren, but the sense of oppression in them was not lower than Lauren, Eve couldn't help but ask, "Ellen...... Don't you eat it? ”

Alan couldn't help but frown when he heard her call his name, and lowered his head to tease the bone dragon.

Fern ate the roasted chicken with the sauce and casually explained, "The host is not like us, he is a ...... He can go without food for a few days...... Well, Miss Eve, you can't eat fruit yet, you have to put it in the back...... That's not okay, you have to drink the soup first. ”

The vines that had peeped on them for a long time were wrapped around a large clump of vines on the branches, swaying gently with the breeze. When the wind subsides, climb briskly downward, leaving bare branches.

Although there was no dessert, Fern was still satisfied with the lunch because of Eve's support, and they packed up their things and continued on their way.

Eve's feet gradually regained consciousness, and with the replenishment of energy, she was still able to keep up with their steps. Eve followed Alan, but Eren stopped suddenly, and Eve, who couldn't concentrate after eating, bumped into his back, and her nose ached.

Eve rubbed her nose and took a step back, waiting for Eren to attack, Alan didn't care this time, he looked around vigilantly, and tapped his fingers on the bone dragon in his arms, retracting it from the storage ring.

Fern was also conscious, and he pulled Eve's wrist to prop up the pale blue magic cover.

A fine and dense wind blows in the Black Forest, and black leaves fall from the branches, carrying nameless black wild fruits.

Eve held her breath, not understanding, but vaguely aware of the danger. The blue eyes did not blink, as if there was a guillotine hanging high above the head, and if she was not careful, it would fall heavily, and a trace of sweat was dripping between Eve's delicate fingers.

Time is stuck there, stalemate, like frozen water, losing its fluidity.

Eve's tense nerves were a little unbearable, and as soon as Fang closed his eyes, several vines smashed like lightning.

The vine was not enough for the three of them to hug, dark green and black, with fine and dense needles. Eve's open eyes reflexively closed tightly and cowered behind Eren like a newborn chick.

The tip of Allen's index finger glowed with a silver pale light, and the two wind blades fiercely separated the soft belly of the vine, and the powerful impact caused the vine to slam into the tall tree trunk, shaking off the ground and shattering leaves.

The surroundings fell into a stagnant silence, and after a moment of silence, a sudden wind blew fiercely, and the vines in all directions instantly seemed to grow like crazy, and the tide rushed in, and they all rushed towards the lonely boat on the sea.

Eren silently chanted a spell, and ten abyssal skeletons with double blades surrounded the three of them, Eve couldn't even see the movements, those skeletons raised their long swords, and several white phantoms flashed, cutting all the vines that surrounded them into pieces.

Some of the broken vines fell at the feet of Eve and Fern, and Eve stepped on them, very slippery, with an indescribable disgusting touch.

"It's just a fragment of the magic vine, and it's going to be fine." With the fine protection of the Abyss Skeleton, Fern was only an ordinary magic vine in the Black Forest, so he except for the magic cover.

Eve nodded, trying her best to ignore the cold touch under her feet and the discomfort that ran all over her body. Just as Eve got used to the touch of the mud, she suddenly felt weird. The soft vine corpses suddenly hardened, clumping together little by little, quickly forming slender and long, rope-like vines that tied Eve's feet and pulled them back.

"Ahh Eve reflexively hugged Alan, and Fern wanted to cut the vine with the wind blade, but released several lines in succession, and the vine could not be cut and cut continuously.

Fern asked Alan for help, but for a moment when those cold hands wrapped around his waist, Alan was as stiff as a dead man, with more air in and less breath. Fern called out "Master" but did not respond, watching as the "mud" under their feet cemented into large, thick, long vines, and slammed into the abyssal skeleton in front of them, twisting it into pieces one after the other.

"Master." This uncomfortable feeling, if described on Eve, is like a giant slug covered in mucus hugging her tightly and rubbing and kissing. Alan was so shocked that he couldn't even hear Fern's plea for help.

The more the vines under her feet tugged, the tighter Eve hugged Alan, and the more she hugged, the more cold Alan's spine became, like an ice cellar, and a strange feeling that could not be explained rose up.

It wasn't until the vines finally broke through the abyssal skeleton behind Eve and Fern that Alan barely relented, and he tried to reach out and pull Eve's hand away, but Eve screamed and grabbed it tighter, and the strange feeling of coolness spread along the spinal cord along the nerve center all the way to the brain.

Eren froze in place like an electric shock, crushing the abyssal skeleton from the vines around him.

Fern was not as lucky as Eve, hugging Ellen's big thick leg tightly, and he was pulled to the ground by the vines. Then, like a photoelectric light, it quickly disappeared from people's sight.
