Versatile Mage: I became the Great Mofan

Chapter 284. Silly Bai Hongfei

"How did you harvest?" Mo Fan asked the people who had returned.

"Teacher, I found out." Cao Qinqin was about to speak when she heard Mo Fan's question.

But he was stopped by Mo Fan.

Seeing this, although Cao Qinqin was confused, she still kept quiet.

"No, the water is normal. The water is also flowing to Tongxiang County and there is no sign of being blocked."

"Yeah, everything is normal."

"."

The others all said.

"Did you go closer to take a look?" Mo Fan asked.

"No, there are probably demons drinking water at water sources, so we dare not go too close." Bai Hongfei said.

“So, you didn’t realize that there are no reflections in the water.” When Mo Fan said this, everyone was stunned!
They had felt that something was wrong before, but they didn't know what it was. At this moment, when Mo Fan said this, they finally realized what was wrong.

It’s a reflection!!

"Cao Qinqin is a careful observer, so I'll give you a bonus point." Mo Fan continued.

After hearing this, everyone was speechless!
But they were helpless because they really didn't notice that there was no reflection in the water!!!

Instead, Mu Nujiao asked, "Why is there no reflection in the water here?"

"There must be a demon causing trouble." Mo Fan said. "Then what should we do next, teacher?" Bai Hongfei asked.

He was not reconciled to the fact that his first mission was ended carelessly.

“Let’s talk about it at night. We have been here for so long and the enemy hasn’t shown up yet. There will be no results during the day.” Mo Fan said, and called for everyone to go back and rest.

Bai Hongfei was hesitant. He actually wanted to know more. Unfortunately, Mo Fan didn't want to continue talking and just left.
The night was quiet, without any chirping of insects or birds. The light of stars densely covered in the black sky became the only light in this mountain forest, making it look like it would not be completely silent.

"I must find out the reason. I don't want to fail to get the excellent graduation badge again. How can I still have the face to go back to the Bai family if that happens?" Bai Hongfei muttered to himself while searching.

He pushed aside the tall grass and slowly walked towards the Qingyi Lake.

Qingyi Lake is still as peaceful and beautiful as ever. The lake surrounded by mountains is more like a huge emerald jade stone. Bai Hongfei stared at the lake, and an indescribable strangeness suddenly surged in his heart.

However, he did not retreat. He plucked up his courage and took a step forward.

Walking straight to the lakeside, Bai Hongfei poked his head out slightly to see what was going on with the water.
At this moment, Bai Hongfei suddenly realized something. He looked into the distance for a while, and suddenly realized that there was not a single starlight in the calm lake in front of him?

The lake is so calm, but it cannot reflect the dense and bright stars in the night sky. It is pitch black and dark green, but this beautiful night lake makes Bai Hongfei feel chilled!
“Puff~Puff~Puff~Puff~Puff~!!”

On the surface of the lake, something soft was lapping gently, fanning up a pleasant fragrance.

"Puff~~Puff, puff, puff, puff!!!" Suddenly, more intensive flapping sounds were heard, and Bai Hongfei discovered that countless thin wings appeared on the entire lake. These wings flapped at the same time, as if rolling up layer after layer of ripples on the entire lake surface. Under the starlight, they even had a little fluorescence...

“Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!!”

Before Bai Hongfei came back to his senses, large pieces of the lake flew up, as if a thin cyan cassock was being blown into the sky by the wind, and this cyan cassock was covering the entire lake just now!

Bai Hongfei was stunned. He saw countless blue wings, those delicate lives, and they formed clouds in the sky, making the stars dim and dreamy! "What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind Bai Hongfei.

Bai Hongfei was startled and turned around suddenly, only to find a gentle woman in a retro Tang skirt standing behind him. She was leaning forward slightly, with two strands of hair hanging beside her cheeks and falling to her plump chest.

She had a vague smile on her face, and a pair of bright and pure eyes at night were looking at Bai Hongfei curiously, as if with a bit of playfulness.

"You... you scared me, girl, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's very dangerous here." Bai Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a woman. "You haven't answered my question yet." The woman said.

"I am a student of Pearl Academy, and I am here to complete my graduation mission." Bai Hongfei said truthfully.

"Then why are you alone?" the woman continued to ask.

"I...I want to make some contribution." Bai Hongfei said embarrassedly.

"Did you find anything?" The woman walked aside, still with that gentle and beautiful smile on her face.

"Did you see those things flying into the sky just now... They looked a bit like butterflies, but it's the first time I've seen so many butterflies, so many that they could cover the entire front of the lake. By the way, you don't seem to be a mage. If you are not a mage and run outside of the Anjie, people may die. Are you lost?" Bai Hongfei asked.

"Well, I seem to be lost. I was picking herbs... Is this already outside the An Realm?" The woman thought for a while and replied.

"Of course. My God, it's a good thing you met me, otherwise you would have been dragged into the cave and eaten by the monster. Come on, I'll take you back. Where is your home?" Bai Hongfei said.

"Why, are you very powerful?" The woman didn't seem afraid at all.

"Me? To be honest, I am a high-level magician." Bai Hongfei replied.

"Oh, oh, that's amazing. Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I have lived in this area since I was a child. I am familiar with the mountains, forests, and lakes. I also know how to avoid those monsters." said the woman.

"That won't work either. I'll take you home. Where is your home?" Bai Hongfei said.

"Then you won't do your graduation mission?" the woman asked with a smile.

"I would feel sorry if anything happened to you. Besides, I have seen those things just now. I will tell my mentor and ask the government to come and deal with those things, and the problem will basically be solved. By the way, did you see those things? They were butterflies, right?" Bai Hongfei said.

The smile on the woman's face gradually lost its warmth. She stared at Bai Hongfei and said in a completely different tone: "Have you ever seen butterflies that appear at night?"

"Ah? It seems to be right... By the way, what is the name of the butterfly that appears at night?" Bai Hongfei said.

"Moth." The girl spat out the word.

"Yes, yes, those must be moths. If I hadn't seen them with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there were so many moths living here, and I don't know how much damage they would cause." Bai Hongfei said.

As Bai Hongfei said this, he was also thinking about the moth.

It is said that moths are very similar to grasshoppers, both of which are catastrophic creatures that leave no grass where they pass. Now is the season when these things reproduce in large numbers. Not long ago, I heard that there was a plague of grasshoppers in the west. Here in the east, there are not many grasshoppers, but there are countless moths.
