529 Night Of The Full Moon
The elf hiding not far away was surprised to see a few red fruits suddenly appear out of thin air.
This woman actually knew how to use spatial spells!
Could she be a mage?
But there was no magic fluctuation on her.
Murphy thought for a moment. Maybe she was an alchemist.
Only alchemists could use all kinds of strange spells without using magic power.
He remembered that the woman had a silver ring on her ring finger. Perhaps that ring was her prop.
After thinking for a long time, Murphy came to a conclusion that was very close to the right answer.
It was very strange.
Murphy saw the little girl’s mouth open and close as if she were talking to someone, but there was no one beside her.
Due to the distance, he couldn’t hear what Huanhuan was saying.
His doubts grew.
This woman was very mysterious.
Murphy saw the woman walking back. He quickly suppressed his many guesses and turned to run back.
He was much faster than Huanhuan.
When Huanhuan returned to the place where the Moonlight Mushrooms were, she saw Murphy leaning against the tree trunk, resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing her footsteps, Murphy opened her emerald eyes. His clear gaze landed on her, and his voice was clear and pleasant. “You’re back.”
“Yes.” Huanhuan brought the sweet fruits to him. “I picked these wild fruits. They’re very sweet. Try them.”
The round fruits were big and red, and there were light water droplets on their surface. They looked very fresh and delicious.
Murphy reached for a sweet fruit and opened his mouth to take a bite. It was indeed very sweet.
He elegantly ate the sweet fruit in his hand and praised sincerely.
“Thank you. These fruits are delicious.”
“I’m glad you like it.” Huanhuan gave him several more fruits, leaving only two in her hand. “You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet. You have to eat more to nourish your body.”
Looking at her smiling face, Murphy was distracted for a moment.
Her face was too beautiful.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still felt stunned every time he saw it.
Murphy finished the sweet fruit and hesitated. “Your face…”
Huanhuan chewed the pulp, her cheeks bulging. “What’s wrong with my face?”
Murphy resisted the urge to pinch her cheek and said seriously, “I mean, your face is too attractive. After you leave the forest, it’s best if you find something to cover your face with so that you don’t cause unnecessary trouble.”
After his reminder, Huanhuan remembered that her face had a glowing effect. No matter where she went, she would be the center of attention.
After eating the sweet fruits, she took out a veil and wrapped it around her head, revealing only her sparkling eyes.
“Will this do?”
Murphy looked her up and down. “Wait a minute.”
He picked some long emerald leaves nearby. They were about two fingers wide and flexible.
Huanhuan saw Murphy quickly weave these leaves into a straw hat.
He asked Huanhuan for a piece of snow silk.
Murphy took out the needle and thread he always carried and sewed the snow silk onto the edge of the straw hat.
“Try it on.”
The modified straw hat looked very much like the veiled hat worn by ancient women. Murphy’s handiwork was very good, and the straw hat was very exquisite and beautiful.
Huanhuan put it on her head, and the snow silk veil fell to her waist.
Now, not only her face but even her neck and entire upper body were covered by the snow silk.
Due to the transparency of the snow silk, it did not hinder Huanhuan’s walking. She smiled happily. “This hat is very good. Thank you!”
Murphy was satisfied with his work. He put away the needle and thread and smiled. “I’m glad you like it.”
…
Murphy seemed to be very familiar with the forest.
With him leading the way, it took less than a day for Huanhuan to successfully walk out of the forest.
Outside was a large, undulating field.
Murphy asked her where she was going.
Huanhuan thought for a moment. She was unfamiliar with this place and really didn’t know where to go. She lowered her shoulders and said helplessly, “I’ve actually just arrived. I’m not familiar with this area, so I want to find a place with more people to stay for a while.”
If there were many people in the area, it meant that there was a lot of information that she could get out of them. She might be able to find information about the beast continent.
Murphy said, “The nearest city is Swan Valley. Many dwarves live there. If you’re interested, I can escort you there.”
“Thank you!” Huanhuan paused and smiled a little embarrassedly. “Will this take up a lot of your time?”
“It doesn’t matter. In any case, I came out this time to increase my experience. Being able to repay you is also a form of experience.”
Murphy led Huanhuan across the field.
The field was filled with weeds and short bushes. In order to prevent her dress from being torn by the bushes, Huanhuan had no choice but to raise the hem of her dress very high.
Murphy stepped down on the low bushes that might cut her skin. He turned around and said to Huanhuan behind him, “It’ll be safer if you walk where I walk.”
“Alright.”
She had to admit that Murphy was a very reliable guide.
Although he was very conservative in some ways and even a little rigid, he was very gentlemanly when dealing with women and took good care of Huanhuan.
After the sun went down, Murphy found a relatively flat place to build a fire and rest.
It was the night of the full moon.
The snow-white full moon hung in the air like a huge white jade plate.
Murphy found some small purple wild fruits in the grass nearby. He washed them and handed them to Huanhuan.
“These are purple leafberries. They might taste a little sour, but they’re appetizing.”
Huanhuan tasted one. It was indeed a little sour.
Murphy found some grass and crushed them to squeeze out the juice. He packed the juice in a bamboo tube he carried with him and handed it to Huanhuan.
Huanhuan took the bamboo tube and poured the grass juice into her mouth.
It tasted a little sour and sweet.
She thought it tasted better than the purple leafberries, so she drank all of it in one go.
Unexpectedly, such a small amount of juice made her a little bloated.
Murphy picked up the empty bamboo tube. “Eating this grass will make you feel very full. Don’t drink so much of its juice at once. You should take small sips.”
Huanhuan touched her bloated stomach and sighed. “I won’t drink so quickly in the future.”
“Get up and walk around. It’ll help you digest it.”
Huanhuan stood up and walked slowly around the fire. When her stomach was not so bloated, she sat back down and leaned against the haystack that Murphy had piled up. She closed her eyes to rest.
Murphy remained sitting upright beside her, his emerald eyes glowing in the night.
At this moment, the full moon in the sky gradually turned from snow-white to crimson.
In the grass not far away, pairs of red eyes lit up.
They looked sinister and terrifying.
