Chapter 30 The Deer-Headed Demon
Lin Er hadn't expected Flora to suddenly get angry, so he could only apologize to her.
He then corrected his attitude. When he followed Flora in, he had been paying attention to his surroundings, and the two of them did not go very deep inside.
After Flora realized something was wrong, she immediately pulled him back the way they came. They should now be on the edge of the hallucinogenic fog.
Thinking about all this, Lin Er pointed to the towering trees around them and asked, "Can you jump to the top of these trees?"
Flora's expression softened, and after looking around, she said, "You want to see the extent of the fog?"
Lin Er nodded. Since the tree spirit wouldn't let him pass, he could just take a detour.
He didn't think these tree spirits were fast enough to stop him from going around them.
Upon hearing this, Flora slung her sword over her back. Once she was ready, she leaped into the air with incredible speed.
Lin Er blinked and saw Flora climb and leap, her graceful figure incredibly agile, and in a moment she reached the treetop thirty meters high.
Due to the thick fog, only the swaying branches and leaves could be seen, and her figure could be vaguely discerned.
After a while, Flora jumped down from the treetop, using the branches below as steps, and in no time, she landed on the ground.
Flora shook her head and said, "The fog is so thick. Even above the treetops, there's a fog several meters thick, making it impossible to distinguish things in the distance."
In this situation, perhaps only those who can fly can escape safely.
Lin Er then looked at the white lark beside him and asked Flora:
"Can this little guy show me the way?"
Seeing this, Flora spoke to the white-feathered lark, and it's unclear what they said.
Her expression softened, and she quickly said to Lin Er, "It's willing to help us get out."
Lin Er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The two watched as the white lark flew to the treetops and disappeared into the mist above, awaiting its good news.
At that moment, Lin Er suddenly saw a five-colored light flash where the white lark had disappeared.
He knew something was wrong, and then a terrified cry came from the sky.
Lin Er immediately summoned the Moonlight Sword and flew up.
next second.
A white lark flew down from the sky, its wings still stained with blood, and a multicolored lark was chasing closely behind it.
This colorful lark was the same one that had been chased away earlier, and it was behaving very fiercely at this moment.
Without saying a word, Lin Er urged the Moonlight Sword to slash at it.
The five-colored lark knew the power of the flying sword and was prepared, so it immediately abandoned its attack on the white-feathered lark.
It quickly turned around and disappeared back into the mist.
Lin Er tried to slash a few more times with his flying sword, but to no avail, so he had to put the sword away.
He turned to look at the white lark, which Flora was holding in her hands. He could see that its wings were injured and blood was flowing continuously. At this rate, it would not live much longer.
Flora couldn't help but frown: "That rainbow lark is truly vicious."
Lin Er reminded him, "Give it the medicine right away."
Flora wasted no time, took out the inferior version of Rejuvenating Dew that Lin Er had given her, and poured it on the injured spot of White Feather Lark.
The bleeding stopped, and the wound healed quickly.
The white lark was able to fly again, but its mental state was not as good as before.
Lin Er looked up at the sky; the colorful lark was probably still hiding nearby.
He said in a deep voice, "With that vicious bird nearby, I'm afraid it won't be able to lead the way for us."
He suggested again that they first take out the hyacinth seeds to see if they could lure out the rainbow lark, and then take the opportunity to kill it.
Flora naturally had no objections.
After setting the trap, the two waited and waited, but the colorful lark never appeared.
Flora thought it had already left, so she sent the white lark out to check.
As a result, the white lark flew away and soon returned as if fleeing, while the multicolored lark was still hiding nearby.
Lin Er couldn't help but say, "This wicked bird is really cunning."
He couldn't think of a way to deal with them for the time being; was he really going to be trapped here?
As Lin Er was thinking this, a system notification suddenly popped up.
[You entered the secret realm in search of treasure, but were trapped by a mysterious barrier. However, this barrier is short-lived and will dissipate on its own within half a day.]
[The bird demon is using illusions to hunt you. Please kill it as soon as possible. The reward has been increased to 3 low-grade spirit stones.]
After seeing the message, Lin Er realized that the hallucinogenic fog wouldn't last long, and that put his mind at ease.
Although the reward for killing the bird demon has increased, he had already tried several times without success and could only continue to wait for an opportunity.
Lin Er then said to Flora, "This fog shouldn't last long. We've prepared plenty of food, so let's wait and see."
At times like these, it's best not to wander around unnecessarily, lest you accidentally enter a more dangerous place.
Flora looked at Lin Er with some surprise, wanting to ask him how he could be so sure.
However, seeing Lin Er's very serious expression, they could only believe it for the time being.
Lin Er turned to look at the six tree spirits and asked, "They shouldn't attack me, right?"
Flora replied, "As long as you don't get close, it won't happen for now."
Lin Er felt relieved and had Flora take out a cushion from her magic storage bag. The two of them then sat down on the ground.
Seeing that it was still early, he was eager to cultivate diligently. He had previously inquired about how monks could cultivate through meditation and circulate their energy through the microcosmic orbit, and he believed that there shouldn't be much difference in appearance.
At this moment, Flora said, "If I can't leave for the time being, then I'll start cultivating."
Flora sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, meditating quietly.
Lin Er noticed a faint vortex of air around her, which was very difficult to detect; this must be the wind element.
"Is this how cultivation works in this world?"
Lin Er was slightly surprised. Seeing that Flora's cultivation had no obstacles, he swallowed a Qi-Nourishing Pill, locked the burst of spiritual energy in his body, and silently circulated the Small Heavenly Circuit to refine it.
Perhaps this place is secluded and quiet, making it very suitable for cultivation.
Lin Er discovered that the speed at which he refined spiritual energy had increased significantly.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sky gradually darkened, and the temperature in the woods dropped sharply, becoming quite cold.
Lin Er finally finished refining all the spiritual energy, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A pair of clear, emerald-green eyes appeared before him, so close, and then blinked at him.
Flora had fair skin and very beautiful features.
Those pointed ears were very delicate, with exquisite details on the auricle, and looked very soft.
These are the ears of elves, completely different from those of humans, and full of cuteness.
Lin Er was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why are you standing so close to me?"
Flora didn't answer; instead, she pointed to her ear and said:
"Would you like to pinch it?"
Lin Er was speechless at the question and said, "I'm not interested."
He had just finished his cultivation, feeling refreshed and focused on the spiritual energy being refined in his dantian. He had no interest in paying attention to Flora's ears.
Flora noticed his serious expression and muttered to herself, "That's strange. Don't human men usually like to pinch elves' ears? It seems he really has no interest in elves."
Lin Er's lips twitched slightly.
Flora, you underestimate cultivators too much.
How can elves compare to immortal cultivators?
As Lin Er was thinking this, he suddenly felt a slight vibration.
His senses were very sharp, and he quickly looked up at the location of the six tree spirits.
The six tree spirits stood quietly in the ground, their claws retracted, looking just like ordinary trees.
"This commotion wasn't caused by a tree spirit."
Lin Erti stood up. As the ground trembled and drew closer, a strange shadow three meters tall appeared and disappeared in the mist. It had a pair of huge antlers that were very conspicuous.
Flora's expression immediately changed, and she exclaimed, "Oh no, this looks like the Deer-Headed Demon!"
