Chapter 782: A Plea for Help from From
Personally confirming that the power of nature left over from Soraka's previous life could not restore his divinity, the lost Ye Feng stayed with Nedri in the Kumang Ancient Forest for a few days.
After a few days of getting along, Nedri's human language also recovered quickly, and she rarely spoke in a slurred manner.
Today is the day when Ye Feng is preparing to return to Ionia, and after having a game lunch with Nedri, he also got up to return to Ionia.
Nedri hadn't been with humans for so long for a long time, and she was slightly reluctant to accompany Ye Feng out of the cave, and said more seriously: "Xiaofeng, next time, please remember to bring Fiona to see me, I want to see her too!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her to see you next time!"
"Sister Fiona should be a very well-behaved girl when she grows up, I really wish I could see her sooner." With his promise, Nedri's crescent eyes curled up again, as docile as a cat.
Hearing Nedley's praise for his childhood sweetheart, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was full of bitter tears. If Fiona had been as well-behaved as Nedri had claimed, he would have been beaten a lot less.
Not wanting to think about Fiona's personality anymore, he looked up at the midday sunlight, Ye Feng took out the dragon talisman with his right hand, curled the corners of his mouth and said goodbye: "Sister Nedley, I have to go back."
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Nedri's eyes not only did not say goodbye, but her eyes showed a ruthless look like a beast.
Before he could react, Nedri, who had been as docile as a cat before, disappeared in front of him like a predator who had spotted her prey.
After losing his mind for a moment, Ye Feng also realized that something might have happened, and Nedri's eyes showed a fierce light. He immediately unleashed the sword intent of the wind, transforming it into a sword qi breeze to sense the movement around him.
Vaguely sensing a throbbing figure quickly sweeping in the direction of the west, he confirmed that it was Nedri, and he didn't say a word, running the sword path of the wind to the extreme, chasing Nedri's footsteps.
Ahead, Nedri's stop a few miles from her dwelling, a frail human woman looking nervously around for movement.
Nedri, who has always had no affection for humans, believes that this human woman has come to destroy the forest. Thinking of her previous tolerance of the humans on the Frontier of the Florne Plains, she felt that she had been too merciful.
Do the humans who destroy the forest feel that her tolerance is a sign of weakness to them? Now they dare to run into the Kumang Ancient Forest!
With the same cruelty as a beast in her eyes, Nedri's fierce unleashed her terrifying magic and pounced on the human woman like a beast.
Ye Feng, who arrived in time in the rear, saw this scene, and his pupils shrank and appeared in front of the human woman in an instant, blocking Nedri's attack.
"Sister Nedri, she's just as human as we are, you can't just kill your own people!"
Ye Feng's figure made Nedri have to stop, but she didn't approve of Ye Feng, she shook her head and said: "I am the guardian of the Kumang Ancient Forest, these humans always wantonly kill animal cubs and cut down trees, they are bad people!"
The human woman behind Ye Feng was frightened by the ferocity that Nedri revealed just now, and when she heard the conversation between Ye Feng and Nedri, she seemed to remember something, and she mustered up her courage and said nervously: "I...... I'm not a bad person, I'm here for help! ”
"Help?" Ye Feng first signaled Nedri not to be in a hurry to convict this weak human woman, and then frowned and looked at the woman behind her.
Seeing that Ye Feng was fighting for her chance to survive, the woman glanced at Ye Feng gratefully, and hummed: "Well, I am a human who lives at the junction of the Kumang Ancient Forest and the Flon Plain, and something very strange has happened in our village recently......"
Speaking of this, the woman with palpitations paused before continuing: "Since some time ago, the men who went out hunting in our village often disappeared mysteriously, and just the night before the last man did not return to the village, only the elderly, children and women were left in our village."
"The whole village was terrified, thinking that after the men died, the rest of us would be fine as long as we didn't leave the village, who would have thought that last night a family in the village screamed, and when the rest of us arrived, the only girl left in that family would have become a shriveled skin......"
As she spoke, perhaps out of fear of something strange, tears swirled in the woman's eyes and slid down with her whimper.
Growing up in the forest, Nedri, did not feel that the woman's plight was worthy of sympathy, and pouted: "Who told you to destroy the ecology of the forest and plains all day long? Probably anger other creatures that can do magic! ”
After listening to the woman's story, Ye Feng felt some sympathy for her experience. After all, everyone is human, and he feels that it is necessary to investigate whether it is a demon that is harming humans.
Picking up the woman who was hiding her face and sobbing, Ye Feng asked, "What's your name?" Who are you asking for help this time? ”
Wiping away her tears, the woman choked up and said, "My name is An Lin, I used to hear from the hunters in the village that there is a forest guardian named Nedri in the Kumangu Forest, so I want to try to come to her for help......"
Nedri hated the poachers who destroyed the harmony of the Emerald Glade, and when she heard that An Lin was here to ask her for help, she did not hesitate to veto: "You are all bad people, so I won't help!"
"Sister Nedri, will you help them? After all, we are all humans, and you should also know that the only food source for these humans is hunting, and they are also here to survive! ”
Speaking good things for An Lin's village, Ye Feng tried to persuade Nedri to make a move.
Nedri's disgust for Florn Plains was all written on her face, but she frowned under Ye Feng's persuasion.
For a long time, under the anxious waiting of Ye Feng and An Lin, Nedri opened her mouth and said slowly: "It's okay if you want me to help, but you have to agree to my conditions!"
"On what terms?" An Lin was very worried in her heart, afraid that she would not be able to meet the conditions of Nedri, the guardian of the forest.
With her hands around her chest, Nedri stared at An Lin's eyes seriously: "You have to control the amount of trees cut down in the future, why do you need such a large amount of firewood to build a house and firewood in your small village?"
At first, I thought it was a particularly difficult condition, but when she heard this, An Lin nodded happily: "We must control the amount of trees that are cut down, Guardian Nedri, is it convenient for you to come back to the village with me now?"
"Don't get too happy, there's one more condition you have to promise me!" Nedri shook her head and poured cold water on Anlin.
Slightly stunned, An Lin immediately listened: "You say!"
"Hunting is allowed, but you can't prey on animals, especially their young, as before, and hunting is strictly forbidden!"
"Also, the Emerald Glade is a sacred place of harmony, and the animals in it are also strictly forbidden to hunt!"
Blurting out all her conditions in one breath, the conditions proposed by Nedri, as the guardian of the forest, are all closely related to ecological balance.
After thinking about it for a while, An Lin pursed her lips and replied, "We must follow the teachings of the forest guardians and not hunt animals wantonly!"
"Remember your promise, if I find out that you have violated the agreement in the future, I will definitely punish you severely!"
With a solemn look on her face, Nedri immediately decided to leave for An Lin's village.
Ye Feng, who had been silent for a long time, echoed in time: "Sister Nedley, I'll go with you to have a look!"
"Aren't you going back to Ionia?" Nedri glanced at Ye Feng in surprise, but her eyes were more of the joy that Ye Feng wanted to stay.
Ye Feng explained: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I also want to see if it's a demon, if so, I have to bring this information back!"
Nedri didn't think too much about it, she was still very happy to have an acquaintance like Ye Feng go to the human village with her.
Signaling Ye Feng to follow her with An Lin on her back, Nedri transformed into a lioness and ran in the direction of the west with agility.
