The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 278 Finding the Forest
The sun is rising; it's a bright and sunny day.

Moran, Vasita, and Sylph rode together on their flying brooms and continued flying deeper into the meadow.

They hunted several prey along the way, had a hearty meal, and then continued on their journey.

Today I feel much more at ease than yesterday. The anxiety I felt about the unknown road ahead when I set off has turned into confidence after last night.

Having weathered yesterday's situation safely, they firmly believe that no matter what they encounter next, they can turn danger into safety by working together.

Along the way, we didn't encounter any further dangers, but the temperature dropped the deeper we went into the grasslands.

After flying for half a day, they saw the snow-capped mountains so close at hand.

The grassland turned into a snowfield, and even after sticking many firethorn leaves to their bodies, they couldn't help but shiver.

When we took off, the wind was biting cold.

"If this continues, we'll get frostbite. Let's fly over to Lone Peak Forest!" Moran said, his teeth chattering.

They moved closer to the Lone Peak Forest together, barely managing to stay in a state of uncomfortable cold, but not fatal.

However, I no longer felt like chatting or talking.

Fortunately, the Lone Peak Forest area was also affected by the cold air from the snowfield, so the giant eagles, which prefer to live in warmer areas, did not appear at the edge of the Lone Peak Forest.

Only then were Moran and the others able to continue flying forward on their flying brooms.

After flying for a short while, Moran saw a patch of green appear in the distance.

Despite the cold, she pointed southeast and said, "Sylph, Vasita, look, isn't that a forest?"

Vasita and Sylph looked in that direction, and through the clouds, they saw a green mountain peak: "It really does look like it!"

"We've found the forest!" Moran exclaimed excitedly. "Let's fly straight in that direction! Watch out for any giant flying beasts that might appear! Let's try to spend the night in the forest!"

"it is good!"

The three of them accelerated and flew in that direction.

The closer they got to the mountains and forests, the warmer it was, and the better they felt.

However, because they had actually entered the isolated peak forest, they startled several giant eagles.

Moran spotted the giant eagle chasing from behind immediately and alerted Vasita and Sylph.

The three of them turned their brooms around and hovered in the air.

“There are only three, why don’t we try fighting them in the air?” Vasita said.

Sylph said, "I have wax fruit in my bag. Let's light the wax fruit, use levitation to throw it at the giant eagles, and burn them to death!"

Vasita and Sylph had already heard Moran talk about the giant eagle's weaknesses. They also knew how to use the Fireball spell, although it wasn't as powerful as Moran's. But it would be enough to set the giant eagle on fire, so they weren't flustered and quickly came up with a solution.

“Okay! Let’s do it this way!” Moran said.

Wax Oil Fruit is not a mutated plant formed from Sylph's Box of Myriad Things; it is one of the magical plants she successfully cultivated. Its fruit can be boiled down to make oil for candles.

With the addition of various herbs and spices, they can also be used to make scented candles, which are very popular among witches.

I didn't expect Sylph to have brought this with her. Using this to ignite and throw is much safer than waiting for the giant eagle to get close before using the fire spell.

Sylph shared the wax fruit with them.

"The one in the front is mine!" Vasita picked the biggest and strongest one.

"I want the middle one!" Sylph said quickly. "Don't get bogged down in the fight. Once you light it, focus on controlling the flying broom and keep your distance from them!"

The group was too eager to fight, so Moran gave them a heads-up and had to let them handle the more difficult enemies first, focusing instead on the last, much smaller, young giant eagle.

He lit the wax fruit, used the Levitation spell to throw it, and it landed steadily on the giant eagle. The flames expanded and spread instantly. Moran immediately controlled his flying broom to move away and avoid the frenzied giant eagle.

Vasita and Sylph successfully ignited their opponents' wings and then flew far away to watch the show.

The giant eagles came fiercely, but after being engulfed in flames, they slunk away to a nearby pond.

The roles of prey and hunter in an instant.

"These giant eagles are so easy to set on fire!" Vasita said, still savoring the moment.

She finally got a role that seemed a bit challenging, but she hasn't even had a chance to show her skills yet!

“Their feathers have too many weaknesses,” Moran said, chasing after them. “We can’t let them escape, or they’ll attract more giant eagles, and we don’t have any more wax fruits.”

Upon reaching the water pool, Moran used a water prison spell to firmly press the heads of the three giant eagles into the water.

The fire on the giant eagles went out, and they drowned.

"Moran, your Water Prison Technique is that powerful?" Vasita asked in surprise.

"By taking advantage of the pool, the effects of the water prison spell have been enhanced," Moran said.

Otherwise, her current water prison technique wouldn't be able to hold such a huge eagle.

Vasita and Sylph: "Spellcasting Tips +1"

This trip felt like watching a wilderness survival course video, with Ms. Amisa commenting on Moran's performance in the course.

The knowledge from Moran kept flooding into their minds, and they gained a lot.

After dealing with the three giant eagles, they continued flying towards the distant mountain peaks.

We reached the mountaintop before evening.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, they gazed at the rolling mountains that stretched endlessly in all directions except where they had come from, and exclaimed, "They are so vast!"

“The senior students who live in the mountains probably have to set off a day or two in advance if they want to go to the academy castle!” Vasita said.

"So, after the entrance banquet, the senior girls in the fourth and fifth grades would ride away on flying broomsticks, but they actually had to travel such a long distance to get home?"

Sylph thought about the scene: "Suddenly, I felt that the mysterious and unfathomable image of the senior students had completely collapsed!"

"Hahaha! We've been senior students before, don't we know whether we have a good image or not?" Moran said.

Vasida said, "The nonchalant senior only appears when the juniors are around."

“I wonder where Lilith and the others live!” Sylph said. “It took us a day and a half to get here, and we have to head back by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, otherwise we’ll miss our basic math class on Tuesday.”

"Oh no! I haven't done my math workbook yet!" Vasita cried out in despair. "Sylph, why did you suddenly remind me!"

Sylph patted her shoulder, her smile widening: "Don't worry, I'm here with you. I wrote for a while while keeping watch last night, and I haven't finished yet!"

Moran, who had no homework and didn't have to rush back to math class, took out her tent card:
"We'll rest here tonight. You two do your homework first. I'll go into the woods and hunt some game for dinner."

Sylph and Vasita: "╥﹏╥"

"Keep it up!" Moran offered them some heartfelt encouragement before quickly fleeing the scene.
