Chapter 369 With CD vs. Without CD
After Ian said this, he still couldn't believe it. He lowered his head and thought, wondering if he had just had an illusion.
Lilith was also shocked. The tiefling's appearance and behavior were so strange, and now Ian said that she actually believed in the God of Light? ? She thought that this guy had sneaked in from the neighboring country of Mulet, but now it seems that she might have guessed wrong.
Lilith looked at the tree where the tiefling had disappeared, pounded her fist in frustration and sighed.
She ran away again. How could she, who looked so young, master such a powerful teleportation spell? Is this the advantage of race? As a human being, I am really... nothing!
As she was thinking, she felt a breeze coming from the wood element passing through her palms.
Lilith suddenly raised her head and looked around——
Here, there are trees everywhere too... Will they be like the pathless forest, a huge whole connected together?
Thinking of this, Lilith placed her hands reverently on the tree, concentrated her mind, and mobilized her spiritual power to penetrate it.
At first it was still extremely sluggish, as if one was brushing across an unpolished, burr-covered sampan, but she endured the stinging pain of the burrs scratching her mind and pushed it forward continuously for a long time - her hands suddenly loosened, the sluggish feeling disappeared, and she and the sampan slid into a vast green ocean.
Countless green fluorescent lights exploded in front of her eyes, and incomprehensible whispers kept echoing in her mind. At that moment, she almost vomited. If it weren't for the constant expansion of her spiritual sea that was constantly beaten every day, she might have gone crazy by now. But after the painful and bizarre feeling slowly subsided, she felt it again - she was connected to this forest as one. Although she was on the ground, she was entangled with their roots.
No, it's more than that!
The fluorescent lights kept flashing, and the whispers were sometimes louder and sometimes softer. She couldn't understand them, but the sounds were getting louder and louder, and more and more regular. What were they saying? Lilith didn't understand, but she couldn't control her mental power and was connected to them and rushed in one direction.
The feeling was incomparably wonderful, as if she was falling from the highest point of a roller coaster, feeling both fearful and excited, and halfway through, her vision became clearer and clearer, and she saw, although she didn't know if it was really "seeing", she saw the tribes of wild beasts sharing their prey, the cuckoo hiding its eggs in other bird nests, the monster disguised as a treasure chest hiding in a tree hole, waiting for travelers to open it and swallow it in one gulp, and... the staggering girl with horns.
——There!
"Eh?"
Lucas came out covered in insect paste. The only way to defeat those little spiders was by numbers. They cooperated with the magician and almost cleared them out with a few area spells. When they came out again, they saw Ian standing by the tree in a daze.
"Ian, where's Lilith?" Lucas wiped off a large pool of sticky liquid from his body with disgust and wiped it on the rough tree trunk next to him. He was about to vomit. "That guy became a coward without his sword. Ha, a deserter."
"She's just afraid of bugs, she's not a coward!" Lulu, who came out later, didn't bother to cast the cleansing spell on herself, so she defended her friend first.
Ian finally came back to his senses and turned to look to his left. His partner who was standing in front of the tree was gone.
…………
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting tiny shadows of light and falling into the gurgling stream. Looking down at this deep green forest, one can see that this stream is the most dazzling. However, the traveler sitting by the stream at this moment has no intention of appreciating its beauty.
The red-skinned tiefling girl sat on a stone that had been polished smooth by time, and quickly scrubbed her wounds. Her technique was very wild, and at this moment, most of her clothes were wet, and the wind blew them sticking to her body. One could even see the protruding vertebrae on her back.
The girl didn't care about the cold. She kept looking around cautiously. She had been injured in the fight just now. If she didn't deal with it quickly, she would be a piece of cake for the monsters in the eyes of those monsters walking in the forest with a bloody smell. She couldn't just -
"Do you need help?" A hand picked up the jewel necklace she had placed on the stone beside her, and the girl froze suddenly.
"Are all the people in your city so clingy?" She turned her head and stared fiercely at the blonde girl standing not far behind her, but she was horrified in her heart - when did she appear? !
"Are all you tieflings so unruly?" The necklace swung around Lilith's finger and disappeared. "Don't steal."
"What?" Confusion flashed across the girl's wary eyes.
"This is one of the most basic commandments in the Bible of Light. Don't you know that?" Lilith said, looking at the little girl's horns. "You seem to have committed a serious crime of blasphemy."
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she chuckled, "So what?"
Lilith choked up - what is this, Ian! Are you kidding me?! This is different from all the followers of the God of Light she has ever seen! This makes the tactics of persuading her, which she had been planning for a long time, seem ridiculous!
Before Lilith could think of what to say, the other party suddenly splashed a handful of stream water at her and then ran away.
“Ah—” Lilith sighed, looked at the figure running across the stream towards the opposite woods, raised her legs to warm up, and shouted, “You will regret it!”
Just run, she loves running the most!
The tiefling was nearly caught up by the blonde several times, and each time she had to speed up like crazy to get away from her for a while. She didn't know how long she had been running, and she finally stopped when there was no sound behind her. She slumped under a giant tree, cut the green vines beside it with a knife, and drank the rich juice in big gulps.
"Is this stuff delicious?" A voice came from above her head. The girl was startled and choked and coughed!
"What are you doing--?!" The blonde girl appeared again in the girl's shocked golden eyes.
"Where is your teleportation spell?" Lilith asked leisurely, holding her chin while sitting on the tree.
The girl looked gloomy and refused to answer.
"It's just like what I guessed... You can't use it continuously, right?" Lilith smiled at the shock on the girl's face. "Let me think, how long will it take you to use that thing? Three days? Four days? Five days?"
In response, a cold dagger flew straight to her face.
“——But I didn’t.”
The next second, she appeared behind the tiefling, grabbed her chin, and with her other hand, she tightly held her arms, clamped them in front of her body, and whispered. This posture made the black thorns spit out of the tiefling's mouth lose their threat.
The pupils of the Tievlin girl beside her were filled with fear, but Lilith could not see it and was still talking to herself behind her, "The black hole that allows you to travel through and makes spells ineffective, and the black fog that allows you to hide and block the enemy's vision, are all your abilities, right? You are just trying to steal things from others with this little ability?"
"What the hell are you?" Tiefling's voice trembled slightly, and he suspected that he had really hit a wall this time.
Lilith blinked and said hoarsely in her ear: "I am the ghost you disturbed. You took my treasure. If you don't give it back to me, I will haunt you for the rest of my life."
"But I've found the fence to unload the goods!" Although he knew that the person behind him was talking nonsense, under the absolute suppression of power, the tiefling confessed everything at this moment.
"...What do you mean?" Law-abiding citizen Lilith had never heard of these thieves' jargon.
"Sold! It's sold!" the girl shouted.
“…Where can you sell it to?” Lilith’s eyes flashed with doubt, and she clamped the tiefling’s arm even tighter. This place was deserted, this guy’s teleportation distance was limited, and the CD was long. Could it be that she had a companion?
“You, you don’t know?” Tiefling didn’t know if this was a test.
"Shadow Locke, Shadow Locke Dungeon."
