Chapter 3070: The Moon Witch's Hunting Ceremony

Shad looked at the face of the purple-eyed girl who was sleeping soundly in the water vapor:

"Yeah, I don't understand why she could have just led me here. Why did she endure the fatigue and me?"

The gentle voice in my ear seemed to be really produced by vibrating the air. "Her" voice became more and more gentle:

[Girls sometimes want to be pampered, especially when they feel vulnerable, don't they? ]

After nodding gently, Shad carried Luvia out of the hot spring. Mia's little ears were erected and shaking a few times at this time, but the cat didn't seem to be woken up by him.

So Shad took out a simple wooden bed from his pocket and put it on the ground next to the hot spring. He also turned out the bedding and spread it. Then he carried the sleeping Luvia and put it on it. Finally, he put on suitable clothes for her and covered her with a quilt.

Of course, the cat was also moved to the pillow. The cat cried softly, probably very pleased.

After doing all this, he dressed himself, walked a few steps away and took out Miss Orlano's puppet. After hesitating for several seconds, he restored the witch of the yellow moon.

"Oh! Flora Winslet and I once discussed the feeling of being turned into a puppet by you. It is indeed more terrible than being locked up in a confinement room."

This was the first sentence the yellow-haired witch said after she appeared. After saying that, she looked around and looked at Luvia lying on the low bed not far away. She didn't ask anything, but just reached out and hugged Shade:

"You worked hard."

"Well, I haven't had time to do anything."

"But you are going to do something, aren't you?"

Holding Miss Orlano's hand, Shade told her what he had experienced after waking up from the clearing.

Although he hasn't entered the city yet, the living creatures in the woodland area covered by the canopy of the giant tree are probably really only the three of them and the cat. The Vestal Forest is still in a state where they cannot leave, so they have to spend the remaining twenty hours before eleven o'clock tonight.

Although the witch of the Fifth Age has not experienced such extraordinary things as "time jump", and is as surprised as Shade and Luvia that the tree has such power, she also easily understands the current situation:

"So when they appear again, we will be short of two chosen ones and a demigod witch in the time domain?"

"That's right."

Shade hesitated to tell Luvia the solution, but the gentle witch had already made up her mind, and now it was time for her to do the "right thing".

Miss Orlanoede asked him first:

"Shad, do you remember what I said to you before the war?"

"We talked a lot, and I remember them all, but I don't know which one you're referring to."

The witch's face suddenly turned red:

"I said at the time that if you run into trouble in this war and lack the necessary strength, then please come to me."

"Yes, I remember."

The determined witch looked at Luvia, who was lying with the cat not far away, and swallowed the words that were just about to come to her mouth. But she is a witch living in the Fifth Age, and she is different from modern witches:

"Since there is still a lot of time left, I want you to help me complete a ritual hunting ceremony now."

"Hunting?"

The stranger vaguely felt that what she mentioned was very likely consistent with what he had not said just now:

"What do I need to do?"

The witch looked at him again:

"With this hot spring as the center, you enter 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."

"Is that so?"

"There are more than twenty days left before the effect of the time jump they experienced ends. Hours, our ceremony will be held during this time, there is plenty of time. ”

She pursed her lips slightly, looked up at the treetops, and 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, is this fate?"

Thinking in her heart, she told Shade:

"Go hide, Shade. But no matter where you hide, I will find you and catch you, and then go, Shade, I'll give you ten minutes. Then, my ceremony will begin. ”

"Okay, remember to give protection to Luvia and Mia before leaving. Although we are the only ones here, safety comes first."

Shade said, and then left here with a look back every three steps. Bryony Olannod stood by the hot spring and watched him disappear, then rubbed her slightly hot face with both hands, and then showed a shy look.

There was indeed a lot of time, so Shade was not in a hurry at all. After entering the woods, he didn't walk far, and he turned into a silver cat and jumped onto the tree. Of all his Transfigurations, the cat is the smallest, and its silver fur makes it easier to hide in the snow, which is very advantageous in the game of "hide and seek."

[This is not hide and seek, but hunting. ]

"She" corrected softly.

After climbing the tree, the cat curled up at the junction of the branch and the trunk. In order to prevent the traces of the spell from being detected, he did not even use illusion.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and only the sound of wind passed through the snowy forest. When the countdown ended, the witch did not appear in front of the cat immediately.

It waited for a while, and when Miss Orlanod still did not appear, it began to doubt whether it was hiding too cleverly, and finally heard a rustling sound.

The sound sounded like the wind blowing off the snow on the branches, but if you look closely, it is clear that something is approaching on the snow.

The alert Shade cat immediately scanned the surroundings, but it was too late. When he caught the approximate source of the sound, the object that made the sound was very close to his current position.

In the one-by-one version!

And when his eyes really determined the other party's position, the lioness with golden hair had already rushed under the tree where the cat was, and then kicked hard and climbed directly to the tree trunk.

"Lion? Wait, is this a creature that should be in the Vista Forest?"

The lion's claws grabbed the small silver cat, but the Shade 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 scarlet /tou, as if it wanted to roll it into its stomach. But the lioness just licked it, and the small cat exploded into a group of red butterflies, flying towards the tree canopy above. Without touching any branches, the butterflies successfully passed through the gaps between the tree canopies and came to the top of the tree canopy.

The heavy snow almost dyed the entire tree canopy silver-white, and the edge of the tree canopy could not be seen at all. It just felt like it had turned into a flat ground and covered the forest area.

The starry sky above was vast, and the clouds could not cover March. The clear yellow moon was round like a plate. But Xia De didn't have 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 sprinkled all over this place, and the canary was like a drop of melted gold, with a burning heart passing through the night wind, and went straight into the group of red butterflies. The group of butterflies was like a red-dressed girl in a veil, frightened and scattered by the sudden intruder, but trapped the canary in it with an ambiguous entanglement.

The wings trembled lightly, and the canary flapped its wings wildly in the shadow of the butterflies, flapping the fragile wings of the butterflies. The translucent and glowing red butterflies were like thin silk in the moonlight, and when the canary and the butterfly touched, a faint but long vibration sound was emitted.

The butterflies seemed to be escaping, but they circled again and again, getting close to the golden bird; the canary's feathers were shining, and every time the wings fluttered in the snow, the butterfly shadows rippled like a butterfly.

The butterfly wings and bird wings touched and separated in mid-air, and they were like naked bodies touching each other during the flight. Under the chaotic yellow moonlight, the butterflies gathered more and more intensely and circled around the canary, and the red was like a burning fire dancing in the air. The canary's wings kept flapping, and the butterfly shadows became more and more chaotic, and everything was hidden in the dreamlike night.

Until the night wind blew, a silver light suddenly flashed in the playful butterflies, and the golden bird was bound by a silver halo and fell down.

So there was only a scattered red under the moonlight, and in that red, the silver wolf fell to the ground, and then ran desperately towards the distance on the treetops.

[It's not gentlemanly to do this. You were flirting with someone, but you took the initiative. ]

In the whistling wind caused by running, "she" said with a smile.

"Just now she said I could resist, I didn't break the rules."

Although the tree canopy was not flat overall, after being covered with thick snow, it looked like an endless snowfield under the starry sky.

The silver wolf ran rapidly in the snowfield in one direction, and the small footprints left on the snow were soon covered by the falling snow. At this moment, he thought again of the gray wolf girl he met in the Fifth Era, and thought of the "wild way" she described:

"Miss Bister would have such a mood when running under the moonlight when traveling alone?"

Soon, Shade ended such wild thoughts because he heard the sound of stepping on the snow more quickly behind him.

The running silver wolf turned his head and looked back, only to see a leopard cat with yellow spots chasing him rapidly in the snowfield under the starry sky like a flowing light and shadow.

PS: Because I know that although there are no major problems with this chapter, some descriptions may be considered problematic, so the author used the pre-screening function.

As a result, it took me half an hour to revise this chapter before it passed the pre-screening.

Mainly, the five or six paragraphs describing the interaction between Canary and Red Butterfly were always marked in red, and in the end, several sentences that the author thought were good descriptions were deleted. .
