Chapter 3070: Moon Witch's Hunting Ritual
Xia De looked at the face of the purple-eyed girl who was sleeping soundly in the mist:
"Yeah, I'm alone. I don't understand why she could just bring me here. Why did she endure the fatigue and be with me?"
The gentle voice beside my ear seemed to be produced by vibrating the air. “Her” voice became gentler:
[Girls want to be pampered sometimes, especially when they feel vulnerable, right?]
After nodding slightly, Shade carried Luvia out of the hot spring. Mia's ears twitched a few times, but the cat didn't seem to be woken up by him.
So Shade took out a simple wooden bed from his pocket and placed it on the ground next to the hot spring. He then took out the bedding and spread it out. Then he carried the sleeping Luvia to the bed, put her on it, and finally dressed her in suitable clothes and covered her with a quilt.
Of course, the cat was also moved next to the pillow, and it meowed softly, probably enjoying it.
After doing all this, he put on his clothes, walked a few steps away and took out the doll of Miss Orlanod. He hesitated for several seconds after looking at the doll, and then he restored the witch of Huang Yue.
"Oh! Flora Winslet and I once discussed how it felt to be turned into a puppet by you. It was indeed more terrifying than being locked up in a detention room."
This was the first sentence the yellow-haired witch said after she appeared. After that, she looked around and then looked at Luvia who was lying on the low bed not far away. She didn't ask anything, but just reached out and hugged Shade:
"You have worked hard."
"Well I haven't had time to do anything yet."
"But you're going to do something, aren't you?"
Holding Miss Orlanod's hand, Shad recounted what happened after he woke up in the clearing.
Although he hadn't entered the city yet, the three of them and the cat were probably the only living creatures in the forest area covered by the canopy of the giant tree. Vista Forest was still in a state where they couldn't leave, so they had to spend the remaining twenty hours before eleven o'clock tonight.
Although the witch of the Fifth Age had never experienced something as extraordinary as "time jump", and was as surprised as Shade and Luvia that the tree had such power, she also easily understood the current situation:
"So when they show up again, we'll be short of two chosen ones and a demigod witch from the realm of time?"
"Is such that."
Shade hesitated to tell Luvia the solution she had proposed, but the gentle witch had already made up her mind, and now was the time for her to do the "right thing".
Miss Olanord asked him first:
"Shad, do you remember what I said to you before this battle?"
"We said a lot of things, and I remember them all, but I don't know which one you're referring to."
The witch's complexion suddenly turned red:
"I said at the time, if you encounter trouble in this war and lack the necessary strength, then please come to me."
"Yes, I remember."
The witch made up her mind and looked at Luvia who was lying with the cat not far away, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. But she was a witch living in the Fifth Age after all, and she was different from modern witches:
"Since there is still a lot of time left, I want you to help me complete a ritual now. A hunting ritual."
"hunting?"
The stranger had a vague feeling that what she mentioned was very likely consistent with what he had not said just now:
"What should I do?"
The witch looked at him again:
"With this hot spring as the center, you go into the forest to hide, and I will find you. You must try your best not to be caught by me, and you can even fight back when I find you. Yes, you must try your best and never lie."
"That's it"
"There are still more than twenty hours until the effect of the time jump they experienced ends. Our ceremony will be performed during this time, so there is plenty of time."
She pursed her lips slightly and looked up at the treetops. She could vaguely see the moons in the starry sky through the gaps between the branches and the green leaves:
"It's already the full moon of Huang Yueyue. Is this fate?"
Thinking about it, he instructed Xia De:
"Go hide, Shad. But wherever you hide, I will find you and catch you. Then go, Shad, I will give you ten minutes. Then, my ritual will begin."
"Okay. Remember to give Luvia and Mia protection before you leave. Although we are the only ones left here, safety comes first."
Shade said, and then he left the place, looking back every few steps. Britney Olanord stood by the hot spring and watched him disappear, then she rubbed her slightly hot face with both hands, and then she showed a shy look.
There was still a lot of time, so Shade was not in a hurry. After entering the woods, he did not walk far before he transformed into a silver cat and jumped onto a tree. Of all his transformations, the cat was the smallest, and the silver fur made it easier to hide in the snow, which was very advantageous in the game of "hide and seek".
【This is not hide-and-seek, but hunting. 】
she corrected softly.
After climbing up the tree, the cat curled up at the junction of the branch and the trunk. In order to prevent the traces of casting spells from being detected, he didn't even use illusion.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and only the sound of wind was heard through the snowy forest. When the countdown ended, the witch did not immediately appear in front of the cat.
It waited for a while, and seeing that Miss Orlanod still hadn't appeared, it began to doubt whether it had hidden too cleverly when it heard a rustling sound.
The sound sounded like the wind blowing the snow off the branches, but if you listened carefully, you could clearly hear something approaching on the snow.
The alert Shade Cat immediately glanced around, but it was too late. When he caught the approximate source of the sound, the object that made the sound was already very close to his current location.
And when his eyes really determined the other party's position, the lioness with golden hair had already rushed to the tree where the cat was, and then with a sudden kick, she climbed directly up the tree trunk.
"Lion? Wait, is this a creature that should be found in Vista Forest?"
The lion's claws grabbed the small silver cat, but the cat did not stay there and wait to be caught. The cat's light body fell from the tree, fell into the snow, and then suddenly jumped up, and the lion also fell from the sky and knocked it down.
The lion opened its huge mouth and licked the silver cat with its red slit, as if it wanted to swallow it in one bite. But the lioness just licked it, and the small cat exploded into a group of red butterflies, flying towards the tree canopy above their heads. Without touching any branches, the butterflies successfully passed through the gaps between the tree canopies and arrived at the top of the tree canopy.
The falling snow almost dyed the entire treetops silver-white, and the edge of the treetops could not be seen at all. It felt like it had turned into a flat ground, covering the forest area.
The starry sky above was vast, the clouds could not cover March, and the clear yellow moon was round like a disk. But Xia De had no time to appreciate the night scenery tonight, because after the red butterfly flew out, a series of collision sounds came from under the tree canopy, until a canary with bright yellow feathers also flew up from under the tree canopy.
The glow of the yellow moon was all over the place, and the canary was like a drop of molten gold, with a burning heart, passing through the night wind and diving directly into the group of red butterflies. The group of butterflies was like a girl in red wearing a veil, startled by the sudden intruder and scattered, but trapped the canary in it with an ambiguous entanglement.
The canary fluttered its wings wildly among the butterflies, beating the fragile wings of the butterflies. The translucent red butterflies looked like thin silk in the moonlight, and when the canary and the butterfly touched, a faint but long vibration sound was heard.
The butterflies seemed to be fleeing, but they circled again and again, getting closer to the golden bird; the canary's feathers were shining, and every time its wings fluttered in the snow, the butterfly's shadow rippled like a cha.o.
The wings of the butterfly and the bird touched and separated in midair, and it was like naked bodies touching each other as they flew. Under the chaotic yellow moonlight, the butterflies gathered more and more and circled around the canary, and the red color was like burning fire dancing in the air. The canary's wings kept flapping, and the shadows of the butterflies became more chaotic, and everything was hidden in the dreamlike night.
Until the night wind blew, a silver light suddenly flashed among the group of butterflies that seemed to be playing, and the golden bird was bound by silver halos and fell down.
So there was only a scattered red color left under the moonlight. In that red color, the little silver wolf landed on the ground, and then ran desperately towards the distance on the treetops.
[This is not gentlemanly at all. The other person was flirting with you, but you took the initiative.]
Amid the whistling wind caused by running, "she" said with a smile.
"She just said that I could resist. I didn't violate any rules."
Although the treetops are not flat overall, after being covered with thick snow, they look like endless hills and snowfields under the starry sky.
The silver wolf ran rapidly in one direction across the snowy plain, and the tiny footprints left on the snow were soon covered by the falling snow. At this moment, he once again thought of the gray wolf girl he met in the Fifth Era, and the "wild way" she described:
"Does Miss Bister feel the same way when she is traveling alone and running under the moonlight?"
Soon, Xia De's wild thoughts came to an end because he heard the sound of footsteps on the snow coming from behind him even more rapidly.
The running silver wolf turned around and looked back, only to see a leopard cat with yellow stripes chasing after it rapidly like a streak of flowing light in the snowy field under the starry sky.
PS: Because the author knows that although there are no major problems with this chapter, some descriptions may be considered problematic, so he used the advance review function.
As a result, it took me a full half hour to revise this chapter before it passed the preliminary review.
The main thing is that the five or six paragraphs describing the interaction between the canary and the red butterfly are always marked in red, and in the end several sentences that the author thinks are good descriptions were deleted.
