Chapter 596 – Unexpected Meeting
Chapter 596 – Unexpected Meeting
Shirley stared blankly at the scene in front of her, such as facing a grotesque nightmare like a time do not know how to react.
Shirin slowly stretched out her right hand to her, Shirley subconsciously walked over, seemingly wanting to grab the other party’s fingers, but before she touched Shirin, the elf girl’s arm was completely covered by a bark-like substance – at the last second, Shirley only touched a rough and hard branch, and after that, the “branch” was completely covered by a bark-like substance – at the last second, Shirley only touched a rough and hard branch, and after that, the “branch” was completely covered by a bark-like substance. The “branch” began to grow rapidly, and grew higher and higher into the sky. ……
Shirin’s face gradually disappeared into the fast-growing luxuriant branches, and in the last moment before she was completely transformed, she slightly opened her eyes wide, as if she suddenly understood something, realized something, and looked at Shirley, as if she was going to tell the latter something – and then, her expression was fixed in this moment, and she completely merged into the tree.
Now, she transformed into a small tree with slender branches.
Shirley stared at this unbelievable scene in a daze, subconsciously recalling the entire process of the other party’s transformation into a tree just now, as well as the last look the other party had given herself, and for a long time, she stood there motionless.
What had happened? Why is it like this? How did the elf …… turn into a tree?
A subtle sound of wind suddenly came from nearby, the sound of the wind was mixed with a gradually approaching malice, Shirley finally snapped out of her dismay, she snapped her head up to look in the direction of where the malice was coming from, and in the dimly lit dense forest, she saw a dark red glow and what seemed to be a smoky, shadowy haze faintly emerge, and then darted to subside.
Dog, for his part, instantly sensed the scent that disgusted him – the scent of a spectral demon.
“Annihilationists! They were hiding in the shadows of that gang of sun debris before!”
Hearing Dog’s low roar, Shirley finally realized what had happened – the
It was the Annihilationists who attracted those “sun remnants” to this place, it might be a cooperation, or it might be a simple exploitation, they wanted to use those sun remnants to finish themselves and Shirin off, but the situation developed beyond their expectation, when one sun remnant tried to erode their consciousness, the Captain’s Flame was stirred and backfired and killed them! All of the attackers – the strong presence of the sun residue had previously covered off the aura of those Annihilationists, and now that the latter realized that they had been exposed, they decisively chose to run away.
Shirley glanced towards the gloomy dense forest, but suddenly hesitated before taking a step, her gaze swept across the surrounding clearing, and saw that those sun residues killed by the spirit fire had curled up into twisted ashes, and were gradually dissipating into the air, while some residual ghostly green flames slowly burned between those ash piles, and gradually faded away and extinguished.
The Captain’s flame faded – it was not a power he could control.
Shirley knows very well, just now that “victory” has little to do with himself, and the next time she meets danger that flame will still appear she is not very sure, maybe …… the captain left his “mark Maybe the “mark” that the captain left for himself can only take effect once?
Rashly chased up, in case the real fight when found that can not be beaten that the fun will be big.
However, her hesitation only lasted a second or two, in the dense forest of those smoke and fog completely out of Dog’s perception, she gritted her teeth, and then toward the side of a mouthful of poo, stepped forward to chase that piece of dark depths.
She ran past the small tree that Shireen had morphed into, the thin branches of the treetop drooping down and sweeping over Sherry’s shoulders, the thin branches and leaves swaying with a subtle rustling sound.
After running through the dense forest for who knows how long, Shirley and Dog finally slowed down gradually.
“Their scent is dispersed ahead, and it’s fading fast,” Dog raised his head, his big ugly head turning from side to side in the air, the blood-colored shimmering light in his eye sockets flickering on and off, “There must be a demonic species amongst them that specializes in concealing their scent, probably a telltale bird …… Tsk, troublesome.”
“Lost the chase?” Shirley muttered a bit reluctantly, “Thought I’d finally catch one or two this time ……”
Dog shook his head and didn’t say anything, just tried again to discern the true direction in which those scents had faded.
Just then, however, the sudden sound of footsteps coming from a certain direction in the forest interrupted its and Sherry’s movements.
Sherry instantly tensed, lifting her chains and arching her back to look in the direction from which the sound had come, but the next moment, the figure that appeared behind the bushes and shrubs wasn’t the cultist she had expected-
An elfin maiden dressed in lightweight hunting attire and carrying a peculiar long-handled battle axe in her hand stepped out of the dense forest.
Shirley’s tense posture instantly stiffened a little, she looked at the elf maiden coming out of the forest in dismay, looking at the other side of the familiar face, although she knew that she was already in a strange “dream”, she still felt a kind of absurdity and treachery quietly emerged from the bottom of her heart, and then she heard the elf maiden with a hint of surprise to herself to speak! —
“You were not ordered to evacuate? Why are you still moving outside the Silent Wall?!”
Shirley opened her mouth, as if countless words came out of her stomach in a flash, but she couldn’t organize a single word when the words came to her, she looked at the “Shirin” who appeared in front of her again with strange eyes, and instinctively wanted to say hello, but quickly realized that the other party didn’t know her at all! –This was no longer the same “Shireen” who had led her to the Silent Wall.
In this moment of concentration, Shirley heard a second footstep behind the elf girl, and she unexpectedly looked in the direction of the voice, and a familiar figure dressed in a black dress and holding a huge rabbit doll in her arms appeared in her line of sight.
“Lucrecia …… Miss?”
“Shirley?” Lucrecia walked out from the forest, and after seeing the familiar figure at the fork in the road ahead, this “Witch of the Sea” couldn’t help but show a surprised expression, “What a surprise …….” This unexpected convergence makes both of them a little bit surprised in an instant, Shirley dragged Dog to look up and down at the sudden appearance of the “Miss Witch”, and also looked at the elf girl standing on the side, after a moment, she cautiously backed up half a step: “Just to be on the safe side – -“
Lucrecia followed suit, “Confirm your identity.”
Shirley spluttered, “Where was Alice’s head yesterday at noon?”
“In the pot,” Lucrecia answered without hesitation, and followed up with another question, “My father’s greatest hobby right now?”
“Fishing and walking the dogs and feeding the pigeons-passed.”
“Well, it passes,” Lucrecia looked relieved, dropping the baton she held in her hand slightly, and casually placing the rabbit doll in her arms on the ground, “This is a very strange dream world, and it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.” There’s no harm in being a little more cautious.”
Shirley nodded her head, and at that moment, the elf girl “Shirin” finally spoke up, “You guys know each other?”
“Yes, friends.” Lucrecia casually replied.
Shirley, on the other hand, couldn’t help but look at the familiar face of the elf next to her with a somewhat complicated expression, and right after that, she looked at Lucrecia and spoke quickly, “Did you find any trace of those Annihilationists when you came over?”
“Annihilationists?” Lucrecia frowned at her words, “I didn’t find them – did you encounter them?”
“But not only the Annihilationists, I also encountered a bunch of Sun Scum,” Shirley said regretfully, “Unfortunately, those Annihilationists ran away in the end ……”
She then flew off to tell Lucrecia what she had just experienced, including how she had nearly been contaminated by one of the Sun Scraps and how the Captain’s Flame had shown up to solve the crisis.
But she didn’t mention the “Shireen” who was with her, let alone the incredible scene when she turned into a small tree.
Because another elf girl named “Shireen” was standing beside her, and listened curiously to the exchange between her and Lucrecia.
Before finding out what was going on with these “Shireen”, it was important to avoid as much as possible any unforeseen changes in them.
“Dog and I chased them all the way here, and when we saw that we had caught up with them, they still escaped,” after finishing her own experience, Shirley couldn’t help but shake her head regretfully, “There are ‘tell-tale birds’ amongst them, which specialize in hiding their breath and confusing their senses. , demons that confuse perception, Dog is not good at dealing with that.”
Lucrecia raised her head and looked thoughtfully at the surrounding forest scenery that looked as if it was similar no matter which direction she was facing, and after a moment’s thought she suddenly spoke up, “They shouldn’t have gotten too far yet …… You just mentioned that they fled after they saw Spirit Flame kill those sun remnants? ”
“Yeah,” Shirley nodded, “Ran off pretty fast, didn’t care about ‘allies’ at all.”
“So they were frightened by my father’s flames, and must have been full of fear as they fled, right?”
“…… I suppose so,” Sherry said with less certainty, while being a bit puzzled, “What’s wrong with that?”
Instead of answering her, Lucrecia looked down at the bunny doll that was sitting on the floor in a daze, “Rabbi, I know you’re listening.”
The bunny doll shifted slowly and made a tiny whining noise, “Rabbis don’t like cultists, their minds stink and there’s something really nasty about them ……”
Lucrecia didn’t say anything, just silently raised the baton in her hand.
The rabbit doll immediately stood up, patting the dirt on its body while chanting endlessly, “Okay, okay, Rabbi knows, Rabbi goes to find them …… You must remember to bring Rabbi back!”
“Go …… while their aftermath is still fresh.”
The rabbit doll “oh”, then just in front of Shirley’s face, it exploded with a bang, a cloud of white smoke that seemed to be hand-painted style with rough lines gushed out from its body and rose and spread, instantly enveloping its comical and frightening figure – -Along with the dissipation of the smoke, the figure of the rabbit doll also disappeared from Sherry’s sight.
