Princess's Struggle for Survival-Chapter 282: Something happening in Forest
Chapter 282: Something happening in Forest
The lightning arc shot out, and the small half of the feather sheath of the bone-eating bee was instantly ignited by the fire, emitting a strong burnt smell.
Realizing the danger, the bone-eating bee’s sharp mouthparts on its head kept shaking, its strong hind legs protected its abdomen, and the surrounding wind element particles gradually became restless.
The first attack was successful, and Lyra chanted a spell, and two hot fire snakes quickly formed, wrapped in a wave of heat and sprayed towards the target.
The body of the bone-eating bee, including its abdomen, was covered with a hard shell, and it was extremely difficult to attack with ordinary attacks.
Only the thin wings exposed outside were relatively fragile, which was its biggest weakness.
The next moment, the fire burned off the only remaining half of the bone-eating bee’s wings.
The giant bee, which could barely maintain its body with the help of wind element magic, fell to the ground, its six legs splashing dust, dragging its fat body to crawl away.
Perhaps the fire at the root of the wings stung its nerves, and the bone-eating bee wailed, the black spikes used to cut open the prey now constantly scratching the ground, and soon became dirty.
Seeing this, Lyra quickly rushed forward, her eyes fixed on the giant bee’s blood-stained beak, and the sword in her hand was slightly raised, the tip of the sword aimed at the bee’s head and stabbings hard.
In an instant, transparent mucus spurted directly from the gap, wetting the sword and the soil beside it.
All this happened too fast, almost in the blink of an eye.
Astrid looked at the bone-eating bee that had just been flapping its wings and was about to escape, but now it had lost its life, the two transparent wings were burned out, the head armor was broken, and even the legs were only controlled by the remaining nervous system, and began to tremble like a sieve.
When did Lyra become so powerful... or so decisive...
Just in case, the pink-haired girl injected her mental power into her light sword, while chanting a spell of light element enchantment, and with a strong wrist, she broke through the entire bee head.
Looking at the bone-eating bee that was no longer alive, Lyra pursed her lips, her fingers clenched the hilt of the sword, and she subconsciously held her breath.
The scorching light evaporated some of the mucus, making the smell around it not very pleasant.
The second-tier monster corresponds to the middle stage apprentice mage, with a big level and a small level difference.
In front of Lyra, an early-stage Sorcerer and an early-stage knight, the bone-eating bee couldn’t even pass three moves.
"Lyra’s movements are so fast." Astrid groaned in admiration, her bright red eyes silently looking at the pink-haired girl who was almost ten meters away from her.
Hearing this, Lyra pulled out the sword that was stuck in the corpse of the bone-eating bee, and said in a calm voice, "It’s okay... if it was a little slower, it would have escaped."
The second-tier magic energy embryo in the bone-eating bee was only separated from the main force for five minutes, and they directly got three points. It feels like a good sign.
Noticing that Lyra’s eyes didn’t fluctuate much even after killing a monster, Astrid, holding the suitcase she had just thrown down, slowly walked to the front and whispered.
"I thought you would be more hesitant."
The silly and sweet female protagonist in the original novel leaves a deep impression on Astrid.
According to the logic, the female protagonist of destiny at this time should not be so clean and neat, without dragging her feet.
Was it because she had killed those ghost monsters before, so she got used to it, or was it because she had passed the test of the Sword of Light, and now Lyra’s sword was more decisive and confident.
After listening to Astrid’s words, Lyra was slightly stunned, looking at the clean and bright sword in her hand that had evaporated the mucus, and her voice was slightly lowered.
"Did I... scare Astrid?"
Her movements were a little faster.
Hearing this, Astrid shook her head, her voice soft.
"Not really."
"It’s just that the points were taken too fast, and I was a little surprised."
It was only the early Grand Knight, and some of the temperament on Lyra was already close to the future Holy Light Knight.
Hearing this, Lyra was a little puzzled, but she still didn’t ask.
What kind of image did she have in Princess Astrid’s heart?
Was it a little girl who didn’t even dare to kill a chicken?
Thinking about it this way, her previous actions might have really scared Princess Astrid.
In a trance, Lyra saw Astrid squatting down, taking a dagger from her waist, and cutting out from the place where the holy sword had been pierced.
"Pure and flawless water element, please give your loyal believer the holy spring."
The clear liquid washed away the filth, and Astrid stirred the inside of the giant bee’s skull with the tip of the sharp blade until she felt something hard, and then turned her wrist to pick it out with the dagger. freewёbnoνel-com
It was a piece of crude crystal covered with mucus, with uneven surface, like a poorly built beehive, and it quickly withered from hard to soft as soon as it touched the air.
In the elemental vision, the light green particles representing the wind quickly lost and merged into the surrounding environment, and there was no trace of them.
This is the reason why the magic energy embryo is cheaper than the magic crystal stone.
It needs to be connected with the original body of the creature to store the elemental power.
Once the creature dies, the energy stored inside will quickly dissolve.
Looking at the dried magic energy embryo on the tip of the dagger, Astrid took out a cowhide bag, threw it in, and wiped the leather gloves on her hands with clean water.
For people with cleanliness, it is really troublesome to live in the wild.
But it is just to accumulate experience for traveling around the world in the future.
Feeling that Astrid’s speed of dealing with the monster’s corpse was not much slower than her killing the giant bee, this time it was Lyra’s turn to be surprised.
"Astrid is also... so fast..."
"What is so fast?"
"The speed of dealing with the monster’s remains."
Perhaps it was the former maid’s thinking, Lyra thought that Astrid would not bend down and deal with these dirty things.
Hearing this, Astrid raised her eyebrows slightly and tied the bag.
"Didn’t you see me cooking?"
"The process of dealing with ingredients and taking out the magic energy embryo is actually similar, only the purpose is different."
This bone-eating bee, which looked extremely ferocious, was dealt with by Astrid, except for the disgust, there was no more emotion.
"By the way, I forgot to say it just now." After cleaning the dagger, Astrid continued to speak.
"Well done, Lyra."
As soon as they entered the Monster Mountains, they won a victory.
Hearing Astrid praised her, Lyra slightly raised her lips, and her tail almost turned over her head.
"...I will try to get higher scores."
After taking the spoils and looking at the corpse of the bone-eating bee on the ground, Lyra suddenly thought of something and stood still.
"What’s wrong, Lyra?" Seeing this, Astrid took the initiative to ask her.
Lyra, while cutting open the mouth of the bone-eating bee with her sword, whispered.
"Astrid, I remember that the beak of the bone-eating bee is also a rare magic material."
"Don’t we take it with us?"
Hearing this, Astrid looked at Lyra for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"No need, the versatility of the bone-eating bee’s beak is not high."
Their suitcase is limited, and they don’t need to carry every low-level material.
As for using space storage equipment to store it, not to mention that it is a bit out of style to put these things in, if someone notices it when using it, it may spread throughout the capital after the assessment.
After all, after the disappearance of the Spellcreator, Lady Gemini, humans no longer have the technology to make space storage equipment, and the value of these special equipment naturally rises, and there are not even two hands in the entire Valeria Empire.
After listening to Astrid’s words, Lyra did not overthink it and turned to follow her.
Although Lyra wanted to take the beak with her and sell it for money, but compared to these small profits, she would rather believe in Princess Astrid’s judgment.
After this little episode, the two continued to walk towards the area where the flame-tailed fox appeared as planned yesterday.
......
In the morning, Lyra and Astrid hunted four flame-tailed foxes, three third-tier and one second-tier, and several other scattered monsters, totaling thirty-seven points.
"The smell of blood has spread, and we may not have much to find the flame-tailed fox here."
After finding a shade of a tree, Astrid brought the top of the staff close to her face, and the cold emitted by the sapphire slightly dispersed the heat around her.
Although most of the time Lyra was the main attacker to hunt the monsters, and Astrid assisted to prevent the prey from escaping, the physiology of the magician was obviously different from that of the knight.
After running for a morning, Lyra was still breathing steadily and her face was as usual, but Astrid obviously felt that she was exhausted, her legs were weak, and even her usually snow-white face was covered with a light red.
Her body is too delicate.
"Yes, I think so too." Lyra, noting Astrid’s slightly disturbed breathing, whispering.
"Let’s take a break here for a while."
As Astrid’s former personal maid, Lyra was very familiar with the habits and physical details of the princess, and knew that she was very tired now.
"Only with full energy can we better hunt monsters and get points."
Looking at the blue eyes that were dazzling in the sun, Astrid nodded.
"Okay."
After finding some grass to rest on, the two took out the bread and some dried meat from the suitcase as today’s lunch.
In the dense forest, it is already good to have these foods.
Noticing that there were some other bottles and jars in Astrid’s miscellaneous box, Lyra initially thought that these things were magic potions, but the more she looked at them, the more she felt strange.
The mouth of these bottles and jars did not have a trace of magic fluctuation, and it did not seem like magic potions.
Hearing Lyra ask her about these bottles and jars, Astrid did not hide it.
"Some salt and other spices."
Lyra: "???"
After a while, Lyra wanted to say something.
"Astrid..."
"...are you going to cook with them?"
There are indeed many edible monsters in the monster mountains, such as the cow and the night light deer, which are even sold in the capital’s restaurants, but because it is difficult to artificially breed, even if a cow has a high meat yield, it is not something that can be stolen casually.
Moreover, because they have the ability to communicate with the elements, their meat also has a certain magic power, which can slightly speed up the recovery of the eater’s mental power, and the combination of the two makes the price even more expensive.
"If we can meet it, we can try it." Astrid said.
The suitcase was packed by Elise for her, and she didn’t expect that she would bring these things.
As expected of the most understanding head maid.
Hearing this, Lyra was silent for a long time, and didn’t know what to say.
It feels like Princess Astrid is not here for the assessment, but to adapt to the wild travel in advance.
Thinking of the dream of traveling around the world that she had told her, Lyra hugged her legs with her hands, and the thin white silk on her knees slightly revealed the light pink flesh.
’I don’t know when that day will come.’
.......
While Lyra and Astrid were resting at noon, deep in the Monster Mountains, in a forest where people rarely visited, a few birds perched on the branches, their black eyes stared at the grass that was dyed black by blood.
A medium-sized creature that had been eaten by the hunter and only had a little flesh left on the skeleton stood up, and the bones made a creaking sound.
From the appearance, its body size is moderate, and it should be a medium-sized creature similar to a wild boar or wild cow.
The skeleton’s four limbs were on the ground, and the right hind leg bone was missing a piece.
Without muscles, tendons, and skin as a connection, these bones seemed to be pulled together by some special force and bent and moved in the joints that had lost the membrane tissue.
Looking forward, the white skull of the corpse had cracked, and two strands of dark green light lit up in the eye sockets, exuding a strong death aura.
If Charlotte was here, she might feel a familiar aura from this corpse, the kind of death aura that almost drowned the soul that she had experienced in the Jones farm.
The corpse wandered aimlessly, and suddenly felt something, and instantly became very purposeful, and the joints creaked.
Moving forward quickly, the wind around it makes the bushes rustle, and the dark green firelight reflects the shadow of the prey.
A fierce claw wind leopard, a sixth-tier monster.
The claw wind leopard felt the ominous aura emanating from the other party, and its front paws slightly withdrawn.
The next moment, the beast corpse pounced on it, and the death aura around it seemed to condense into a solid body.
Five minutes later, the battle was over, and the beast corpse was completely broken, and the death aura around it gradually dissipated in the forest.
However, the wind leopard did not do any good. One of its claws was lifted off, revealing the white bone underneath, and the blood dyed its fur red.
Hundreds of meters away, another corpse monster wandered in the forest and gradually approached the injured wind leopard.
Back to the temporary camp where Lyra and Astrid were resting, suddenly feeling a palpitation, the pink-haired girl woke up from a shallow meditation, and her nose exhaled slightly.
What is this feeling...
Her hand was placed on the body of the Sword of Light, and the slightly cool touch effectively relieved the strange feeling in Lyra’s heart.
The girl turned her head and looked to the west of the forest, and the Sword of Light slightly vibrated, as if reminding her of something.
