Jiang Yingbai didn't stop until she climbed four meters high. She hugged the tree trunk tightly. The trunk was 1.5 meters in diameter. The creatures under the tree bumped into it several times without knocking the tree down.
It only stopped hitting the tree after its head was bumped and swollen. It grunted, panted, and drooled as it looked at Jiang Yingbai on the tree.
Jiang Yingbai looked at its tall body and sharp hair, and recalled his short dagger. Jiang Yingbai immediately gave up his plan to fight back.
If you pierce it, you probably won't be able to touch even a layer of its skin.
So one man and one beast fought a protracted battle. Jiang Yingbai sat down on a branch. She didn't care. After all, she had no shortage of food.
Two hours passed. Just when Jiang Yingbai thought they were going to spend this time, a turning point occurred.
There was a rustling sound in the forest. Jiang Yingbai looked towards the place where the sound came from. She carefully identified it and finally determined that it was the sound of human footsteps.
Jiang Yingbai was a little surprised that the lucky person was born here like her.
The sound got closer and closer, and the bush that Jiang Yingbai was staring at was pried away by a hand.
The fingers are thin and white, without a trace of excess flesh, and they are as delicate as works of art in a showroom.
A figure emerged from there, and with just one glance at Jiang Yingbai, he knew it was not a player.
Her figure was covered by a white cloak, with a few tufts of white hair hanging down her chest. Her pupils were crystal clear lavender, and her long, curling eyelashes with distinct heels were pure white.
Wearing a white antique dress, her feet were bare on the grass.
Jiang Yingbai swore that she had never seen such a clean person, who made people feel very holy at the first glance.
Is this an NPC? An elf in the forest?
When the beast saw the white-haired woman, he ran over with a grunt, wagging his short tail behind him crazily, and wagging his head to nuzzle her.
The white-haired woman shook her head helplessly, reached out to touch its head, and said in a gentle and touching tone, "You can't bully her. She looks the same as me and is of the same species as me."
Jiang Yingbai looked confused, wait, who do you think looks the same as you?
Jiang Yingbai looked at himself and then at the white-haired woman. Isn't this nonsense?
The key beast nodded wildly after hearing this, and sat on the ground like a fool.
The white-haired woman patted its head, "Okay, you go and play."
After hearing this, the beast disappeared into the forest and disappeared.
The white-haired woman walked under the tree and spread her arms to Jiang Yingbai, saying to her like she was coaxing a child, "Jump down and I will catch you."
Jiang Yingbai refused in her heart. The distance was too close and she was not used to it. She carefully stepped on the branches all the way down and reached the ground soon.
The white-haired woman was a little disappointed, but she was soon attracted by Jiang Yingbai's appearance.
She approached Jiang Yingbai, looked left and right, and laughed.
Jiang Yingbai wanted to take a few steps back to avoid her, but she had just saved him, so it would be too rude to avoid her.
The white-haired woman looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction. She stepped forward and took Jiang Yingbai's hand, "You and I look alike."
Jiang Yingbai shrank fiercely.
She held on tighter, "Were you scared just now? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Jiang Yingbai shook his head to indicate that he was fine, "Our hairstyle, hair color, and face shape are all different."
The white-haired woman chuckled and let go of Jiang Yingbai's hand. She ran to the open space and spun around a few times, her skirt flying.
"Haha, but we all walk on two legs. We all have heads, noses and eyes, located in the same place."
Only then did Jiang Yingbai understand what she was talking about, "Are you talking about race?"
The white-haired woman tilted her head and looked at her, "Yeah, yes."
Jiang Yingbai could see that she didn't seem to understand the word very well.
Jiang Yingbai said differently, "We are all human beings."
The white-haired woman was even more puzzled, "What is a human being?"
Only then did Jiang Yingbai realize that the white-haired girl was living here alone. Before, she thought there was a village nearby where the white-haired girl lived with people from her tribe.
It seems not at all now, but why would a human being live alone in the mountains and forests? And with no concept of human beings, she seems to think she is the only one in the world.
Jiang Yingbai asked, "What is your name and why do you live here alone?"
The white-haired woman responded cooperatively, "My name is Xia, and I have been living here since I can remember."
What a special name.
"My name is Orange," Jiang Yingbai continued to ask, "Were you here when you were a child?"
Xia nodded, with a smile on her face, "When I was a child, the little animals around me took care of me. They even built a house for me."
Jiang Yingbai immediately thought of her clothes, "Where did your clothes come from?"
Xia gestured with her hands in the air, "It was taken out of the box!"
She happily introduces her treasures to her friends like a child.
Jiang Yingbai asked, "Box?"
Xia nodded, "I don't know where it came from. It has been with me as long as I can remember. There are a lot of clothes in it, from childhood to adulthood."
Obviously someone deliberately left Xia in the deep mountains and forests, and he knew that Xia would not be in danger here.
Is that person special or is Kasumi herself special?
Those little animals most likely did not build a house for Xia voluntarily, but were instigated by that person.
But what is his purpose? Could it be that he is a relative of Xia? Their family encountered danger. In order to let Xia escape this danger, they hid her in the deep mountains and old forests.
Seeing Jiang Yingbai's solemn look, Xia thought she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
Xia took Jiang Yingbai's hand, smiled sincerely, and invited her, "Orange, do you want to be a guest at my house?"
Jiang Yingbai blinked and readily agreed. With Xia, food, shelter, and safety would be guaranteed. The most important thing was that he could also ask Xia about the situation of the forest.
Jiang Yingbai followed Xia through the forest. With Xia by his side, the sounds of insects in the forest disappeared, as if he was deliberately avoiding disturbing Xia.
The sounds of wild beasts running and birds spreading their wings disappeared, but Jiang Yingbai could see small eyes popping up from time to time behind the big trees, in the bushes, and on the branches.
That's a little animal hiding.
There are also large creatures that will come to them quietly and then leave.
Everything here was very kind to her, and she was simply the biological daughter of the forest.
Jiang Yingbai walked behind, peeking at the hiding animals from time to time.
Her eyes suddenly glanced at Xia's exposed ankles. Her delicate white feet stepped on the soil, but Xia's feet were still very clean, with no stains on them.
Jiang Yingbai was a little curious, "Aren't you afraid of stepping on something and hurting your feet when you walk barefoot?"
Xia replied, "No, this forest is spiritual and they won't hurt me."
Jiang Yingbai understood that Xia had a special physique, and things around her would automatically avoid her and not cause harm to her.
