After putting the magic stone back into the storage space, Ando Meiko jumped off the back of the Earth Scorpion and reached out to retract all the vines and magic flowers that were bound to its body.

Suddenly, pure and huge magic power surged into her body, directly replenishing all the energy that Ando Meiko had just consumed. Not only that, the excess magic power also made her feel very uncomfortable.

“I didn’t expect that full bloom would have such a magical additional effect.”

Ando Meiko originally thought that the magic she created was only to extract the opponent's magic power, but she didn't expect that the magic power extracted by the "full bloom" magic would be directly filtered and filled in the vines and flowers.

He never imagined that he could replenish himself by recycling and absorbing the pure magic power brought back by the flowers through this magic.

The arrow just now seemed simple, but it actually combined three kinds of magic of Ando Meiko, namely, Star-piercing Spiral Arrow, Entanglement, and Full Bloom.

Since the Star-piercing Spiral Arrow can be fully integrated, if this magic is modified and used in other magic, it will definitely become a powerful auxiliary force for her, and she may even be able to compete with the eighth-level monster.

Just as she was thinking, the body of the Earth Scorpion began to shrink rapidly, and soon shrank to the size of a human, and the original level seven demon beast aura on its body also disappeared and fell to level five.

The monster in front of her had completely lost its threat to Ando Meiko, so she withdrew all her means and did not leave the three ancient fire demons to continue consuming her magic power.

She stretched out her finger and pointed at the forehead of the Earth Scorpion. This action immediately made the latter tremble with fear, his limbs went limp, and he even fell directly to the ground.

"Don't be afraid." She whispered softly, and the magic power from her fingertips penetrated her body. She drew out the excess magic power that supported her body and injected it into the body of the Earth Scorpion.

Feeling that his magic power had been restored, the Earth Scorpion finally perked up and stopped trembling.

As the rock shell started to move, the rubble on the ground gathered and piled towards the body of the Earth Demon Scorpion, wrapping its sickly body again to form a two-meter-tall giant rock scorpion. However, as if it had been reborn, it did not make any move to resist, but lowered its scorpion tail and head to Ando Meiko to express its submission.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 101: Keep it a Secret for Me

"I don't need your submission. You are free, so go away and don't come back here to bother the villagers."

The Earth Scorpion understood, squeaked twice, turned around and left quickly.

After watching the Rock Shell Scorpion leave and finally disappear into one of the rifts, Ando Meiko slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect my translation magic to work on the monster, but I can't understand what it's saying. What a pity! If I could understand, I might not have to fight."

The magic created temporarily through imagination is not perfect, just like the translation magic cannot allow her to understand the text of this world. This still requires her to continue to improve.

After taking one last look at the rubble on the ground, Meiko Ando turned and left, heading in the opposite direction from whence they came.

The valley leading from the water source to here has been completely destroyed, with large amounts of rock and rubble piled up together blocking the road and making it impossible for anything to pass.

Meiko Ando has the ability to solve this problem, but she doesn't want to waste time, so she goes straight forward on the ruins of the rift valley and returns to where the rock crust scorpion was at the beginning.

She looked back at the depths and saw that there was indeed a water source there, but this water source was not an oasis or a river, but an ordinary well.

"Life is really not easy for ordinary people in this world."

Ando Meiko sighed and was about to return to the cliff, but when she turned around, she found that Melinda, the village chief and the three young men had already appeared there.

They looked breathless and it was obvious that they had just arrived after running as hard as they could.

"Ruby, you..." Melinda saw the injuries on Anten Yako's body and subconsciously wanted to ask something, but when they couldn't find the rock-crust scorpion no matter how hard they looked, everyone froze in place.

The Earth Scorpion's several physical collisions didn't actually hurt her at all. With the three ancient fire demons holding her back, the Earth Scorpion had no chance to cause trouble for her.

Therefore, the wounds on her body were mostly just scratches and cuts caused by gravel. With her body's recovery ability, she could recover completely quickly. Of course, the remaining blood could not return to the wound, so Melinda mistakenly thought that she was seriously injured.

An Teng Meizi raised her thumb and gestured to them: "Don't worry, I have already driven away the scorpion. It shouldn't come back."

"Oh my god, you... you really defeated that level 7 monster all by yourself? Ruby, with your fighting ability, how could you be ranked at the Adamantine level?"

An Teng Meizi shook her head and didn't answer. She turned to look at the village chief and his group. "Anyway, I've helped you drive away that rock-crusted scorpion. Could you please fulfill your promise as soon as possible so we can continue on our journey?"

"Of course, of course." The village chief, who had not yet recovered from his dazed state, answered Anten Meiko's question stiffly.

"I'm tired today and I want to go back to sleep. Please keep the matter of the level seven monster a secret for me." After saying that, An Teng Yazi didn't look at the stunned crowd anymore. She turned around and jumped between the rifts and soon disappeared on a cliff.

Meiko Anten did not return to the camp immediately. She deployed the fishing radar on the cliff. After confirming that there was no one within a kilometer radius, she hid behind a tree and took off all her tattered clothes.

All the wounds had healed. She used magic to create a suspended water ball, and then threw a large fireball directly into the water ball. She then covered her body with the warm water and let all the blood dissolve in the water ball.

After cleaning herself, she used fire magic to heat and dry her body, and finally changed into a new set of clothes. Of course, this set of clothes were not the ones she brought from her own world, but the civilian clothes she bought in Potter Country.

After returning to the camp, Anten Meiko had adjusted everything. She greeted Beth who was teaching Ronia magic as if nothing had happened, and then went into the carriage to continue her nap.

A shaking woke Anten Meiko from her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. The scenery outside had changed dramatically.

She looked back at Ronia who was sleeping across from her, opened the window, and stuck her head out to look at Beth who was sitting on the roof of the carriage. "When did we leave the village?"

"We've been walking for quite some time now. Melinda and the village chief told me that it was thanks to you that the village was saved. I thought it was some great feat, but it turns out it was just a rock-crusted scorpion."

Beth naturally knew the information about the Rock Crust Scorpion. She knew very well that the highest level of this kind of monster was only level five. Melinda also understood this point.

She did help Meiko Anten hide the secret from Beth, but she did not lie. She just did not reveal the level of the Earth Scorpion. This truthful statement made Beth impeccable.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the information to be true. After peeling off its shell, the real Earth Scorpion felt like an ant to me. If it weren't for magic, I really can't imagine how its thin arms could support such heavy rocks."

"Nature is truly amazing. I really hope I can see this magical beast one day."

After chatting for a while, An Teng Meizi opened the door and jumped onto the roof of the carriage: "You go and rest, I'll take over the rest of the time. I'm so refreshed after sleeping for so long."

"Okay." Beth didn't refuse, but she didn't get off the car. Instead, she lay down on her side. The two of them were originally sitting next to each other, and when she lay down, her entire upper body naturally rested on Anten Meiko's thigh.

She had a lazy and docile expression on her face, like a kitten sleeping in a warm bed. This was an animal's natural behavior, and it was a posture she would only have when she felt she was the safest and was with the most trustworthy person.

With such a gentle and beautiful girl making cute movements like a little bird, Anten Meiko would certainly not refuse the nice job of being used as a pillow.

So it was natural for him to stroke Beth's head like he was stroking a kitten. Her silver hair was very soft and flowing, and it felt very smooth and comfortable to touch, making people unable to let go.

Although the dragon carriage was bumpy along the way and the carriage was shaking, Beth was not affected at all and fell asleep quickly.

She also slowly closed her eyes, but of course she did not fall asleep again. She just turned on her slacking radar and recalled the battle with the Rock Shell Scorpion.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 102: Dreaming of Myself

After changing the route, the caravan was no longer traveling in the rift valley, but was walking around outside the rift valley. The danger level was naturally not as high as in the rift valley.

In the past, they would be attacked by the undead every few days, but now several days have passed without encountering any danger. This has relieved a lot of pressure on Anten Meiko and the guards who accompanied her.

For the first time in a long time, Anten Meiko didn't have to take turns on guard, so she slept with Ronya and Beth. They slept on the roof of the car, using glass shields to make left and right partitions, and Ronya slept in the middle of the two of them.

Their expressions were relaxed and their breathing was steady, except for An Teng Meizi, who had her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare, but in fact she was indeed having a nightmare.

She dreamed that she had turned into an immovable stone, hidden deep in the sea, never seeing the light all day long, squeezed by the pressure of the deep sea, and washed by the undercurrents on the seabed.

Gradually, the sea water receded, revealing the earth. The light suddenly shone, and Anten Meiko saw the sky and the earth, but she still felt very lonely.

She stood alone on the earth, exposed to the sun and rain, and weathered by the wind and frost. After an unknown amount of time, strange creatures began to appear around her, and as time passed, these creatures were undergoing various changes, especially their bodies gradually became larger.

She dreamed that the sky was suddenly dyed into endless black, and a large amount of red liquid flowed on the earth and through her body. All the creatures that were originally around her were buried in an instant.

She didn't know how long it had passed before her body suddenly split apart and her vision became wide and clear. She felt that she was in the middle of the left half of the stone.

A flying bird picked her up and brought her to a place above a forest, but because it was frightened by other natural enemies, it finally abandoned it and let it fall into the forest.

The time of loneliness continued again, but compared to the vast land and ocean, this time she was in a sea of ​​trees, and her vision became unprecedentedly low and narrow.

As the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter rotate endlessly, she is covered by fallen leaves and buried deep in the soil. After who knows how many years, she has once again returned to those dark days.

After an unknown amount of time, her vision suddenly became clear. She opened her eyes, which were no longer used to the light, a crack and saw a black-haired girl holding her in her hands and looking at her curiously.

That was her...

Her body trembled violently and she suddenly woke up. At this time, the sky was just beginning to turn pale. This ray of light crossed the entire darkness, as if wanting to bring the blessing of a new day to everyone who saw it.

Meiko Anten stared at the increasingly brighter light, but the waves in her heart could not calm down for a long time. She didn't know why she had such a dream.

I dreamed that I had been a stone for who knows how many years, and finally met a girl. To my surprise, the girl looked like me.

Beth and Ronia both noticed her movement. They stood up together and looked at the sky, which was not yet fully lit up, and then saw Ando Meiko covered in cold sweat.

"Did Sister Meizi have a nightmare?"

"It's not really a nightmare, but this dream was a bit strange. I turned into a piece of stone and couldn't move or speak." Ando Meiko explained immediately and got up, retracted her magic and jumped out of the car.

Meiko Ando originally wanted to go to the grain cart to get something to prepare breakfast for Beth and Ronia, but when she casually glanced around, she found that Melinda's guards gathered next to the dragon carriage, and seemed to be discussing something with Melinda.

The latter's carriage was right in front of the carriage of Ando Meiko and the other two, sandwiched between the other dragon carriages. It was a protection for Melinda, and for Ando Meiko it was a convenience for providing support to various places.

Ando Meiko didn't want to care about what they were discussing, but when she saw that the expressions of the people guarding her, Melinda, were not very happy, she walked over to inquire about the situation.

Seeing Ando Meiko coming, everyone restrained their expressions and greeted her.

"Good morning, Lady Ruby."

"Good morning, Ruby. It's not like you to be up so early."

When she doesn't have to keep watch, Meiko Ando usually sleeps until dawn. This is the first time she has woken up so early.

"I just couldn't sleep, and just when I was about to eat something, I saw you guys looking so worried. What's wrong? Is there something you can't solve?"

Melinda nodded, not wanting to hide anything. "Right now we're trying to decide which path to take."

The safe journey outside, bypassing the rift, only lasts for a few days. The last section of the road leads directly to the territory of the Church. There are two roads in total.

The first option is to naturally choose to go through the outer area of ​​the rift, so as not to be disturbed by the undead in the rift terrain. However, along the way, you will pass a mountain pass where there lives an eighth-level magical beast, Shuiling Mukui. If you rashly pass through its territory, it will regard you as an enemy and attack you.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to encounter it while it is out hunting or falling asleep, you will have a chance to pass through this place safely.

The second way is to enter the rift at the fork in the road and continue walking inside. This way you can avoid Shui Lingmu Kui's territory and save a lot of time.

But the problem is that this road will be interrupted very close to the center of the Rift Valley. Due to the influence there, Melinda can guarantee that she will be attacked by the undead every night.

This is no joke. They have to travel in the morning and be attacked in the evening. It can be said that there is no time to adjust and rest all day long. One or two days is okay, but they are still a month away from the Church.

Neither route is pleasing, but if Ando Meiko is forced to choose, she will choose the first route, which is to ignore the rift and pass through the periphery.

She had already done the task of resisting the undead every night. Compared to a satisfying battle, dealing with the undead was not only frustrating but also took a long time.

A battle must last until the sun rises in the morning. They will fade away when the undead magic is at its weakest. During this period, no matter how many are killed, they can continue to fill the gap.

On the contrary, it is more in line with her personality to fight with all her strength no matter how strong the opponent is. Besides, she does not necessarily need to win. At most, she can delay the caravan until it leaves the mountain pass and then run away.

"If I had to choose, I would choose the first path. At least we don't have to live in fear every day."

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 103: Teaching

Ando Meiko gave her own answer, which was agreed by the majority. Many guards were unwilling to face the attack of the undead, just as she thought.

They do not possess the body of destiny like Ando Meiko. After all, they are just mortals with flesh and blood and ordinary people with strength. Fighting every night is too much of a burden for them.

Meiko Ando naturally also wanted to save time. She didn't want Beth and Ronia to continue living this kind of busy life. Even if they didn't say it, she knew that these two girls, one big and one small, were having a very hard time.

Especially Ronia, who was only seven years old but still gritted her teeth and persevered, hiding her irritability and fatigue in her heart. Perhaps this was the price of freedom for her, but Ando Meiko didn't think so.

The atmosphere in the outer area is not as depressing as in the rift valley. There are still some vegetation growing around, and the sun is shining through. The air is fresh. With such an environment, Ando Meiko can handle it even if she has to deal with a powerful monster.

Seeing that Melinda was still having trouble making a decision, Ando Meiko pressed the issue, "Don't worry. If we're lucky enough to encounter a situation where Shui Ling Mu Kui isn't around, we'll be able to pass safely. But even if it is, I'll still do my best to help."

With her words, Melinda finally made up her mind and nodded to Ando Meiko and the guards: "Okay, then we'll follow your advice and go to the outer perimeter."

The guards are responsible for conveying the decided route, but in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is conveyed or not. At most, it gives psychological comfort. As long as the rear cars follow the front cars, the whole team will naturally not fall apart.

There were no undead attacks at night, and in the morning, the ordinary monsters wisely chose to retreat when they sensed the magical aura emanating from Ando Meiko.

For a whole week of peace, Ando Meiko had no chance to take action, but this also made her feel that her choice was the right one.

"Sister Meizi, look, I learned it!"

On the way to the Chamber of Commerce, Ronia climbed onto the roof of the carriage and sat next to Ando Meiko. She had a smug look on her face and showed off by gathering her magic power into a ball of pale yellow flame.

This is a symbol of the formation of the second-level magic "Fireball", but her second-level magic is only in appearance, and the magic power inside is actually showing signs of disintegration, so it appears in this unstable yellow color.

If she poured more magic power into the fireball, it would probably explode directly in her hand, causing no harm to others and instead knocking herself down.

"This fireball is just for show, empty but not substantial. It will disperse on its own without condensing. You can't use it casually, otherwise you will be the first one to get hurt." Ando Meiko commented.

She stroked Ronia's hair and said earnestly, "Magic is not a game. It's not only a self-defense ability, but also a double-edged sword that can be used to hurt others."

Learning magic cannot be done simply for self-protection. Future wars, conflicts with others, and attacks by monsters will all turn magic into weapons.

When Kung Fu was first developed, it was always a killing skill, and the same is true for magic. Meiko Anten believes that before teaching a child how to use weapons, she should be taught how to be a human being.

Ronia was a person who received higher education in the royal family, and she had the ability to read minds, so she quickly understood what Anten Meizi wanted to express.

"Don't worry, Sister Yazi, I know what to do."

"In that case, watch carefully." Meiko Anten stretched out her fingers, and magic power surged out of her body, turning into a visible red mist around her fingertips.

The mist quickly gathered and shrank together, forming a flame the size of a lighter. This was the first-level magic "Ignition" that Ronia learned from the beginning.

The red mist swirling around the flames gathered towards the flames one after another, and the flames grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed a red spherical flame under the control of Anten Meiko, the second-level magic "Fireball".
