Chapter 225 A Little Girl in the Jungle
"It's not scientific......"
She crouched there, holding her head and muttering.
Even if the level and attributes are reduced, what's the trouble that turns her into a young girl?
And was thrown into the dense forest where this bird does not lay eggs, is this going to stage Little Red Riding Hood in the jungle? Is there a big bad wolf?
At this time, the wolf howl was a little closer, and Xia snorted:
Damn, there are really big bad wolves!
"If I meet a strong wolf now, I have no chance of winning."
Sensing the water elements around her, she noticed that they were cheering in the stream, and the water should be drinkable, so she pulled her long hair back and leaned down to lick the clear water with her tiny tongue.
The slightest cold feeling hit her, and her spirits were lifted, and she drank a few sips of water, not daring to drink too much, and then stood up from the stream with a branch, found a shallow place to go down to the stream, and walked forward in the direction of the current.
"If that wolf is a boss in the trial, the water can mask my scent, and it should not be able to find me for a while."
Xia thought about what to do next.
In fact, it is very simple, it is a question of where to go, there are only four choices in total, the upper stream of the stream, the lower stream of the stream, the woods on the left, and the rocky peaks on the right.
The rocky peak is definitely not good, because she can't climb it, and when she looks up from below, there are no plants on it, and even if she goes up, it's a dead end, not to mention that wolves can climb mountains, and they are definitely much more agile than her.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was even more dangerous in the woods after dark; She trekked some distance in the stream, climbed a tall tree with her light body, and built a pergola to look into the distance.
A dilapidated castle could be faintly seen downstream of the stream, but it was covered with withered yellow vines, and the walls were full of signs of collapse, and it did not look like it was inhabited at all.
"This kind of castle is a dangerous place in any work, and it doesn't look like a good place at first glance, so give up."
She mentally crossed the option to go downstream.
Then he turned his head and looked deeper into the woods, where the tree was tall enough to be seen far away, and the cascading green canopy stretched all the way to the distant vicinity of the mountains, which seemed to be at least a hundred kilometers away.
This distance, coupled with the dangerous Conglin at night, is an impossible obstacle for her to cross now.
"You can't go to the left, so you have to go upstream."
Three roads in a row were painted with dangerous symbols, and her heart was a little heavy.
"Upstream...... There seems to be a path! ”
After scanning upstream for a long time, Xia finally made a discovery worth celebrating.
Her little face was filled with joy at the sight of the narrow path that crossed the rocks, and she slipped down the trunk of the tree, and stepped into the stream again, and soon came to the path, which she found to be still going into the woods.
The trees in front of you are slightly sparser than before, and the path winds into the forest, so you can't see where it ends.
"The sun is about to set, and it will be dark in about half an hour to an hour."
She turned her head to look in the direction of the setting sun, climbed up to the shore, and walked towards the path:
"This trial is obviously much more difficult than the previous two, but it won't be full of death traps, right? The first priority is to find a place to stay, this is in the mountains, and when the weather cools down at night, such a young child may freeze to death. ”
After walking along the path for a long time, there was not a single wild beast around, only the occasional strange noise in the gloomy grass, but it soon fell silent.
The sky gradually darkened, Xia felt that her feet began to become sore, and every step would be like a pinprick pain, she gritted her teeth and endured, walking forward step by step with the branches, the trees in front of her became more and more thin, and just when she began to gasp for breath, she finally saw the outline of a house not far away.
"Although the exterior of the house is a little old, there are traces of cleaning on it, and it is likely that someone lived there!"
Hope welled up in Natsu's heart, and his pace quickened.
At this moment, an unusual movement suddenly came from the front.
It was like a beast dragging something on the ground, or like a creeping creeping body rubbing its way on the ground, not the sound of the wind or the leaves.
"Keep your body down, slow down, and pay attention to your heartbeat and breathing rate......"
Natsu remembered the essentials of sneaking, and slowly approached the place where the noise was coming from.
If you want to pass this way, you have to pass through that place, and instead of rushing through, it is better to take the initiative to get some information.
The speed of the opponent's movement was not fast, but it did not stop for a moment, and the direction of movement was the slightly dilapidated looking building.
After following for a distance, a dim light appeared in Xia's eyes.
The light was green, slightly brighter than an oil lamp, but not dazzling, like a firefly in the already dark woods, moving slowly forward.
"Is it a person?"
Natsu held her breath.
I saw a petite body lying there, with its long hair sticking to its back, and its clothes were soaked with sweat; A pair of slender arms rubbed against the blades of grass, crawling on the ground, and those arms were already covered with wounds.
"Like...... It's a girl. ”
Although the body does not fluctuate and the clothes worn are very shabby, it can be seen that it is a skirt; But the girl's legs were straight and stiff, dragging behind like two pieces of wood, and she seemed unable to move.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia froze.
Because she thought of someone.
This person is also a girl...... She is arrogant, stubborn, and cold to others, but she is very attached to herself.
-- This girl's legs are also completely immobile like this.
"Could this man be ......?"
Even though she knew it was a fantasy, Natsu couldn't help but feel hot, and she threw the branch aside and rushed towards the petite girl.
"Who is it?"
The sound of her footsteps immediately alarmed the girl on the ground, and a green crystal fell from her mouth, making a crisp sound as she lay there.
“…… Sorry, I'm lost. ”
Xia slowly stopped, forcibly pressed the urge to pounce on her and hugged her, and replied with a trembling voice.
"I don't know Xiaoai yet, she is a very alert girl, and she must not leave a suspicious impression on her."
Trying to calm the throbbing in her chest, she raised her hands to the girl with long azure hair on the ground, signaling that she was not carrying anything dangerous:
"Can you tell me where this is? I've been walking in the woods all day and haven't eaten anything and I'm cold......"
She said pitifully.
The beautiful and delicate facial features, the eyes that don't lie, the tender voice, and the pair of red feet wrapped in leaves, make it impossible to have even the slightest doubt about her words.
The girl on the ground fell silent.
Xia didn't speak again, and stood there quietly waiting for her to reply.
After about 1 minute or so, the girl finally spoke:
"If you're just lost, you can stay in my house for the night, but I don't have food for you, and you must leave as soon as it's dawn tomorrow!"
She lifted her body up with difficulty, looked at Xia and said:
"If that's okay, you can come with me."
"Thank you very much."
Xia lifted the corner of her skirt and bowed her head to make a thank you ceremony.
Then he raised his head and said:
"I can find a way to solve the problem of food, there are a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables in the area, but now that it is very dark, it will be difficult to catch small animals and birds."
"Noble courtesy...... Hum. ”
The azure-haired girl looked at her and snorted coldly, with a hint of hatred in her voice.
Natsu pretended not to hear her, ran back and picked up the branch, then bent down and hugged her body.
"Let it go! Don't touch me!! ”
The girl shouted, struggling to push her away.
"It's going to get dark soon, it's dangerous here, we'd better get out of here quickly."
Natsu's strength was obviously greater than hers, so despite her resistance, he cheekily forcibly took her into his arms.
“…… Pick up the stone from the ground and give it to me. ”
Later, seeing that there was a huge difference in strength between the two, the girl finally gave up resistance:
"It's still a few hundred meters away from where I live, so don't be tired and cry."
"No, I have a lot of strength, don't worry."
Natsu leaned her against a tree, picked up the green hedron, and then carefully avoided the wounds on her body and carried her on her back.
"What's your name?"
As he walked forward with her on his back, Natsu asked deliberately.
"Give your name first, Miss Noble."
The girl replied coldly.
"My name is Natsu, what about you?"
Xia felt the soft body on his back, felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly calmed down and put aside distracting thoughts.
"What the hell is this from a young girl to a young girl...... It's better to hurry up. ”
After waiting for a long time without getting an answer from the other party, at this time there was a wolf howl in his ears, Xia was in his heart, and walked forward with all his strength on the branches, and finally came to the outside of the building before it was dark.
The two did not go to the main entrance, but walked around to the side under the guidance of the girl, and stopped in front of a small house that looked like a warehouse.
"I didn't expect you, a delicate-looking guy, to have a lot of perseverance."
The azure-haired girl looked at her unexpectedly:
"My feet were bleeding, but I didn't give up halfway...... Give me that stone. ”
The girl asked Xia for the green spar, whispered a spell in her mouth, and then put the spar on the door a little.
"Smack."
There was a soft sound in the crack of the door, as if something had been opened.
"See, I'm magical."
The girl took the hedron and shook it in front of her eyes in a demonstrative manner:
"I don't care about what you did to me just now, and you are not allowed to touch my body without my permission in the future! Do you understand? Otherwise, I'll kick you out right away. ”
"Understood, little sister."
Xia didn't feel terrible at all, but felt that he hadn't seen such a fierce treatment of his little hobby for a long time, so he couldn't help but answer with a smile.
"Don't call me little sister!"
Agnes shouted angrily:
"Don't look at me short, I'm definitely older than you......"
"Got it."
Natsu pushed open the door noncommittally and walked in with her on his back.
"Xiao Ai seems to have always liked this kind of narrow room."
Natsu glanced around the small room, put the puffing Agnes on a chair, and began to undress hers.
"Hey, hey! What are you doing......
Agnes grabbed her skirt so hard that she wouldn't take it off, and her face flushed.
"You have a lot of wounds on your body, I'll help you heal them."
Xia said gently, with sincerity and concern in his expression.
The affection was so sincere that Egnes slowly loosened her fingers and let her take off her coat and skirt, revealing her scarred body.
"These wounds ...... It's not all bruises. ”
Xia is now experienced in all kinds of wounds, and at a glance he recognized several wounds that could only be caused by sharp stabbing and cutting, and his eyebrows slowly rose.
"That's why I told you to leave as soon as it dawned, and why there's no way to give you food."
Seeing each other's eyes, Agnes laughed self-deprecatingly:
"They know I'm studying magic and that the morning is a crucial time to meditate, so they're going to come and interrupt me, and then take everything I can eat in my house and put bugs and dirt in my water tank, thinking they can stop me from overtaking them."
There was a sharp light in her eyes:
"But I'll let them know that a genius is a genius and a stupid dog is a stupid dog! No matter how much they hinder, humiliate me, or even hurt me in some vicious way, I will reach heights that they will never reach, and they can only look up to me in the future...... And fear! ”R1152
