The sound of rapid breathing broke the tranquility of the forest at night.
Along with this was the crisp sound of dead branches and leaves on the ground being crushed, which was particularly eye-catching in this quiet night.
The birds that were resting in the forest were also awakened by the unusual sound. After making a few short and strange sounds, they retreated. The forest was not peaceful at night, and making any rash sound would only attract hunters hiding in the darkness.
However, some particularly timid birds were startled and flew into the air, where they fell into the claws of nocturnal predators.
What was happening in the forest below was a somewhat similar scene.
At this time, two girls with black hair and black eyes were running in the forest. There was a big difference in their heights, but they looked somewhat similar. It seemed that they were a pair of biological sisters.
The taller one among them was holding a few medicinal herbs and unknown fruits in one hand. Even though her steps were very flustered, she had no intention of throwing them down. Her other hand was tightly holding the little hand of the girl next to her, half-dragging her as she ran forward.
Behind them, several pairs of dark green pupils that appeared and disappeared were following the two people's backs, as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal.
Although the two sisters had tried their best to choose a route that would hinder the beasts behind them when they were escaping, those pairs of pupils were like ghosts, chasing them non-stop and slowly closing the distance between them.
Although they had heard from the elders in the village that if they encountered danger in the Elf Forest, elves would come out to help them escape, but under the gaze of those pairs of dark green eyes, boundless fear arose from the bottom of their hearts, and driven by the desire to survive, they chose to flee in the dark forest.
“Huh, huh, huh.”
Since running in the forest is very physically demanding, the taller girl was already a little out of breath, and her breathing was much more rapid than the girl she was pulling.
She looked back at the distance between the shadows and them, and as if she had made a decision, the girl suddenly stopped and stuffed the things in her other hand into the girl's arms.
"Hoo, hoo, take it, take it. Hide in the tree first, and I'll come find you later."
But before she could run away, the girl suddenly grabbed her hand and pointed her in a direction.
"Sister! Over there! There's light!"
Looking in the direction of her sister's finger, a burning campfire in the distance was like a bright light, pointing her in the direction.
There was no time to think about who was camping in the Elf Forest. In the time that wasted, the pairs of dark green pupils behind them had already begun to scatter, preparing to begin to surround them.
Fortunately, the campfire in the distance also gave her new motivation. She just needed to hold on a little longer, just a little longer.
"call--"
Taking a deep breath, the girl once again forced herself to run with the girl in her lead-like legs.
But the strange thing was that although their speed had slowed down a lot when they ran again, the green eyes behind them did not get closer quickly. They were still approaching them slowly, as if playing with prey.
brush--
As if being swept by something, the girl felt as if she had passed through an invisible barrier when she was about to reach the campfire. She felt as if her whole body was lighter, but she didn't have time to think about it. She pulled her sister and rushed directly to the fire.
Although she was a little surprised that there was no one on duty to keep watch by the campfire, the big tent next to it could not be fake. They successfully encountered people camping in the forest. Then they just had to wake them up and fight off the beasts together.
But when the girls looked back, the dark shadows that had been chasing them had disappeared without a trace, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion...
§184 Found a pair of wild sisters
"Hoo, hoo-"
As if a taut string was suddenly released, the girl, who had already overdrawn her energy in the escape, felt limp all over and collapsed beside the campfire.
"elder sister!"
Seeing the girl suddenly sit down, the little girl hurriedly checked her body in panic, fearing that the girl had just been injured.
"No, it's okay, sister, just take a rest and you'll be fine."
She responded vaguely, and feeling the warmth of the campfire behind her, the girl fell into a deep sleep.
Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to vaguely see a corner of a tent being lifted up and someone walking out from inside.
"Uh...what's going on?"
The one who came out of the tent was naturally Eve. She had just realized in her sleep that the magic circle she had set up around the camp was triggered, followed by two panicked footsteps. She stopped triggering the subsequent magic and prepared to come out to see what was happening.
If he is a guy with bad intentions, just throw him into the demiplane and kill him. As for the others, we can deal with them based on the situation.
Then they saw a girl who had fainted from exhaustion. It seemed that she had run into their camp to avoid something.
But strangely, in Eve's perception, there was no sign of any wild animals around, and she didn't know what was chasing them.
Ah, wait, although there was no animal scent, she found some traces of magic that had been destroyed on these two people. It seemed that they were automatically destroyed when they passed through the defensive magic she had set up around the camp.
Judging from the remaining traces, this magic is not very sophisticated and does not seem to be the work of an elf. It is most likely the ability of some magical beast.
The effect should be to let them see the things that they fear in their hearts.
"that…"
"!"
Because the little girl had her back to Eve, and Eve didn't make any noise when she came out, when she wanted to ask her what happened, the little girl was frightened and trembled all over.
Seeing the mysterious figure with bloodshot eyes that appeared behind her out of nowhere, although she was trembling with fear, the little girl still bravely stood in front of her sister, opening her little arms to try to protect the girl who had fainted behind her.
Ah, this... It seems like I've been treated as a suspicious person, even though this is her camp.
After recalling how to interact with children, Eve lowered her body a little so that the child was at eye level with her, and asked softly.
"Can you tell me what just happened?"
"...I was being chased, and then I saw the light over here, and my sister pulled me over."
After hesitating for a moment, the girl told Eve what had just happened, but she did not say why they came to the Forest of Elves.
But judging from the girl's subconscious actions of protecting her body from time to time, it seemed that something was hidden there.
This subconscious little action could not be hidden from Eve.
"Is your sister okay? Do you need me to check on her?"
"..."
After thinking about it, the little girl shook her head and rejected Eve's proposal.
"Well, forget it then."
Eve didn't insist too much about this. Although there was no direct contact, judging from the other party's steady breathing, the girl's body was fine. She must have just consumed too much energy in the escape just now. It should be fine after she wakes up on her own.
Anyway, even if there is really a problem, she can rescue the patient.
"Do you need a sleeping bag?"
As she spoke, Eve took out a spare sleeping bag from the demiplane. She had purchased this later to avoid this situation.
"?!"
It seemed that the little girl had never seen a demiplane before, so when she saw Eve casually reach into the empty air and take out a sleeping bag, her eyes widened in surprise.
In order not to put pressure on the little girl, Eve did not choose to hand the sleeping bag over to her directly, but placed it within her reach.
"..."
The little girl turned her head to look at her sister who was lying on the ground behind her. After thinking for a while, she took the sleeping bag and spread it on the ground. Then she struggled to push her sister's body onto the sleeping bag.
It seemed that she was too tired. Despite being pushed so hard, the girl still showed no signs of waking up.
After letting her sister lie down on the sleeping bag, the little girl looked at Eve with less caution, but she still looked a little hesitant to approach her.
Eve didn't try again. She just took out some snacks from the demiplane and placed them in front of her before walking to the camping table and sitting down.
She probably won't be able to sleep for the rest of the time.
As for the little girl, after hesitating for a long time, she picked up the snacks and started eating because she was hungry.
The snacks brought by Eve naturally tasted good. After eating a small piece, the little girl's eyes seemed to be full of stars, and she started eating one piece after another.
After finishing eating, as if she just remembered that she shouldn't be so careless, the little girl quickly and quietly turned her head and looked at Eve who was sitting at the table. Seeing that she was not looking at her, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she gently opened some of her clothes, took a look at the herbs and fruits that her sister had just stuffed in, and then sat down next to the girl, as if she was going to keep watch for her sister.
As for Eve, although she didn't seem to be looking over there, the girl's little movements at such a close distance naturally could not be hidden from her perception, so she just pretended not to see it.
As time passed, although the girl was holding her sister's hand most of the time while running, she also consumed a lot of physical strength.
And the way Eve looked at her was as if she saw the students in her previous life's classroom, nodding, nodding, suddenly waking up, nodding, nodding, and really falling asleep.
By the campfire, the younger sister's body finally tilted to the side and fell into her elder sister's arms.
It seemed like habit becomes nature. Despite being in a coma due to overdrawn energy, the older sister still gently protected her younger sister in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would get hurt.
Sensing the situation behind her, Eve smiled helplessly, and stood up carefully without making any noise. Then she took out a blanket from the demiplane and gently covered the two of them with it to prevent them from catching a cold at night, and added a little magic to keep them warm.
I was already a little overdrawn, and with the chill of the night, the probability of catching a cold was still quite high.
After doing all this, Eve sat back in her original position and waited for the two to wake up.
§185 Awakening
"Um……"
Hearing whispers and some noises coming from not far away, Otilette's consciousness returned to his body again.
But she felt as if her whole body had fallen apart. Not to mention moving, she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
What happened to me...
She remembered that yesterday she and her sister had come to the Elf Forest to look for some medicinal herbs, and then they suddenly encountered a group of unknown beasts, and then they started running away...
Finally, they seemed to run into a camp? And then I passed out next to the campfire?
But why does the ground beneath me feel so soft? It's not as hard as the ground.
No! Wait! Where's Leah?
Squeezing out a bit of strength from her exhausted body, Otilete reluctantly opened her eyes, and the strong sunlight shone on her face.
Because of the sudden strong light, Ottilet was forced to close her eyes again before she could see anything clearly. In desperation, she had no choice but to call out her sister's name.
"Leah? Ahem, Leah!"
Because she hadn't had any water for a long time, her voice sounded quite hoarse, but there was no trace of anxiety in it.
"elder sister."
Then she felt a pair of small hands holding hers, and from the sound of the voices, she knew her sister was right beside her.
"Are you OK?"
While adjusting to the sunlight, Ottilette opened his eyes with his eyes slightly squinted.
"Ah."
At this time, the movement on their side also attracted the attention of Eve and others at the camping table.
"Ah, you're awake. Do you want some water?"
Hearing the question from a pleasant female voice, Otilette nodded slightly.
"Ah."
After hearing the other party's response, Eve walked over, gently lifted up the other party's body with one hand, and handed a glass of water to Otilette's lips.
Since her sister had regained consciousness, Ottilia no longer tried to stop Eve from approaching.
"Thank you."
After reluctantly saying thank you, Ottilette wanted to take the water herself, but her arms were so sore that she couldn't hold the water steadily. Seeing this, Eve chose to feed her herself, otherwise the glass of water would probably spill all over Ottilette.
"Come, help me support your sister."
"Um…"
Hearing Eve say this, Ottilia obediently replaced Eve and pressed against her sister's body.
Eve held her head with one hand and began to feed Otilette with water in the other.
"Cough cough."
The water in the cup had a strange salty-sweet taste. I didn't know what was added to it.
At first she choked a little because of the strange taste, but after taking a few sips she was surprised to find that her condition had recovered a lot, and some strength had returned to her overdrawn body.
