"What to do now? Should we leave or..."
Traton didn't say the next half of the sentence, but everyone knew what it was.
Lean over?
Who has the guts?
Holo stared at the girl's movements with Kazlan's big eyes open.
Dana also showed a troubled expression and retorted:
"Let's go? Where to go? When I passed by just now, I took a look and saw that there were forests all around. No matter if I moved back or to the right, I would get further and further away from the center.
But if you go to the left, the tree spirits are not much different from normal trees when they are resting and hiding.
I didn’t meet a tree spirit when I came here just now! You should be thankful that Miss Luck passed over your head! "
"Indeed, it would be okay if you only encounter a few, but you are afraid of being trapped in a circle."
Bert agreed with what Dana said. He felt the same way. Just being surrounded by tree spirit saplings had already exhausted him. What if he was surrounded by adult tree spirits?
can not imagine.
"But there is actually such a dress in such a ghost place... Such an exquisite little girl must be even weirder than the tree spirit."
Bablin thought about the wording, and finally used the word exquisite to describe it.
If they do not use the [Levitation] soul technique, they will also be contaminated by some dust and grass clippings when walking in the forest.
But there was no trace of dirt on that girl.
right! Not even a trace.
There was not even a speck of dust on the hem of the dress or the shiny black shoes.
An extremely beautiful face that doesn’t require any makeup, and paired with this outfit, can only be described as exquisite.
"I think...you don't have to worry about whether to leave or not."
"Um?"
Hero suddenly spoke, which surprised a few people. It can be seen from the way he just led the way that his perception ability was too strong. He went around and around without encountering a tree spirit.
And now that you are saying this, could it be that you have found a new path?
"Because she's discovered us."
Several people hurriedly turned their heads to look, and the delicate girl in the middle had already stood up and looked at them dreamily, her eyes full of pleading.
Her pure black hair hung down on her chest, and her expression looked pitiful.
But those eyes were really weird, there was no white at all, and the gray pupils were so wide that no one knew who she was looking at.
As the girl got closer step by step, her beautiful face suddenly revealed a curve at the corner of her mouth, and she asked in a sweet voice like the girl next door.
"Um...can you help me?"
Now it was not just Traton who was trembling, but the other people also felt like their feet were stuck to the ground, unable to move even half a step.
Hero swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "What help do you need? If it can be done, we can help you."
There is no other way, this strange creature has already set its sights on them.
The stagnant soul energy in the body cannot perform powerful soul arts at all.
"I wanted to go over there, but the swamp was so dirty, and I was afraid of the things in there."
The girl pouted and muttered, lifted up her skirt, stood on tiptoes, and walked cautiously, for fear of getting stained by the dirt on the ground.
"Is it just because it's dirty? What's your name, and where is your family?"
Holo tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible. If the girl in front of him suddenly exploded emotionally and went crazy, who knows what the consequences would be.
The girl's request was also very strange. She was able to appear here safe and sound, without any panic or any traces on her body, which showed that she could avoid the tree spirits that were everywhere here.
So why did she go here? Was it because she was afraid of getting dirty? How long had she been waiting here? What kind of horror was hidden under this moss?
Holo even imagined an earthbound spirit, controlling the girl to seduce passers-by, leading them to the swamp, and letting the spirit eat her.
The girl tilted her head, thought for a while, and said weakly:
"Isn't the swamp dirty? They all call me Pom, but I don't like this name. You can call me Euphiel. I... have no family."
When answering the last question, Hero noticed keenly that there was a trace of lingering disgust in the depths of Yuphiel's pupils.
Hero asked cautiously:
"I mean there's nothing scary under the swamp?"
"How could it be? Although the swamp is very dirty, it protects this place. How could there be something scary?"
Youphiel's face was so innocent that several people had no choice but to believe what she said.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that I can't beat him.
They haven't even broken free from the restraints under their feet.
In desperation, Helo could only take the lead and agree.
"Okay!" Youphiel jumped happily, but quickly stopped moving.
'She seems to have a mysophobia, and she doesn't want her outfit to be stained with dirt by any movement. 'Hero thought to himself.
Youphiel walked to a few people, walked around, and looked at them. After a while, she said with satisfaction:
"Then can you carry me? You are very clean."
Holo breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried about what he would do if Yuffiel was dissatisfied.
Thanks to the robes with self-cleaning function, they can stay spotless even when walking through the woods. They will order more when they go back.
Holo felt his feet loosen, but then his back felt heavy.
Youphiel didn't even wait for his consent before running up to his back.
Although he looked at the very light little girl, he felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back.
"Go, go, go, the swamp is very shallow, you can step on it, but you have to be careful not to step on those little things."
Youphiel hugged Holo's neck and clamped her legs tightly around his waist, one of her hands still helping to direct.
To those who don’t know, it seems like a scene full of family affection.
Holo couldn't help but sigh, the benefit of the increase in [Physique] was highlighted. If the magician's body alone could not carry Yuphiel very far.
He gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, and shouted angrily.
"Walk!"
Seeing how difficult it was for Holo to take steps, several teammates around him immediately took the first step and tested the moss-covered road ahead for Holo.
According to apparent strength, Hero was the strongest one. If he died, no one would help them attract this girl's attention.
But just when Bert stretched out his foot and stepped deep into the moss, something strange happened.
His foot began to sink, and a puddle of black bubbles appeared where it sank.
It was like there was a hand in the depths, grabbing his feet, preventing him from actively breaking free, and pulling him deeper and deeper.
Bert activated the soul energy to output, and some mutations appeared on the soles of his feet, so he forcibly pulled out the feet.
This made him immediately reach out to stop his teammates who were about to try, and exclaimed.
"No, you can't get through here at all!"
The expressions of several people changed instantly, and they turned to look at Hero.
"Is this what you said you can walk through?"
Youphiel pouted and said aggrievedly: "Really, I think they all walked over like this!"
The firm tone seemed to prove that she was not lying.
But there was no movement on his body that wanted to come down, it seemed that he was relying on Hero.
"Then [float] over."
Helo used [Exponential Explosion] to force [Floating]. Although it was getting easier and easier, the consumption of soul energy was also increasing exponentially.
As for who they are, Hero thinks that these tree spirits are the ones in this area.
Just as they were flying staggeringly through the middle of the swamp, all the small animals that had been hiding under the moss and staring at them disappeared.
The pair of green lights disappeared quietly in an instant.
The night was just shy of dawn, and darkness returned again.
"I have a bad feeling..."
"Actually, you don't have to say it now..."
"I'm sorry...but I..."
"Traton! You crow's mouth!"
Hero roared angrily and began to rush forward.
Although plunged into darkness, the modified [Twisted Eye] can still clearly see the changes below.
Countless black bubbles popped up and burst again.
Strange mosquito-like insects flew out from inside, staring at a few people with their bright red eyes, and they also had a long tail. With the sound of flapping wings, the long tail It spun around in the air and made a crisp sound.
"This is what you call safety!"
"Yes... these are aunt's little pets!"
Unfortunately, the deafening sound of flapping wings made it difficult for Hero to hear the second half of Yuffiel's words.
