What is the timeline of this world?
"Ok?"
Just as Shi Chen was pondering this question, he suddenly felt a surge of magic power right behind him, seemingly not far away.
It didn't matter whether it was human or demon; he needed to find a creature to point him in the right direction.
Shichen's figure suddenly disappeared, and he arrived instantly in the place where the magic power gathered.
The scene that came into view made his expression turn ferocious. All he could see were disgusting, enormous worms that looked like earthworms but had mouths as big as chrysanthemums, full of sharp teeth and sticky saliva.
It makes me feel physically nauseous.
Giant insects surrounded a carriage, and in front of the carriage, several armed men guarded it.
What attracted Shi Chen the most were the two young girls beside the carriage.
The two looked somewhat like sisters, and were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. One of them looked like a magician, wearing a long robe and a hat, holding a staff, and was rather petite.
The other one was a bit larger, especially in the front, it was ridiculously big, it couldn't be covered up by her uniform-like clothes, and the pink short skirt also revealed a pair of fair and smooth legs.
Both of them had short black hair and stood out from the people around them.
The two girls were trembling, whether from fear of the monster in front of them or because it was so disgusting, it was hard to tell.
"The opponent is a small monster, a giant burrowing worm. It has very low attack power but very high vitality."
"Yes, it's quite resilient; just be careful not to get swallowed whole."
Someone tried to give them a serious reminder, but the two girls didn't seem to listen, and the taller girl couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
The other one's staff began to glow brightly as she chanted incantations in a monotonous manner.
"O twilight curtain that brings all things to an end, how pathetic it is to challenge crumbling castles..."
The staff began to gather a large amount of magic power, but it was immediately stopped by the taller girl. She quickly pressed down on the girl's hand and said in a panic, "Wait! I understand how you feel right now, I understand completely! But it will affect everyone!"
"Let me go! I'm going to blow these disgusting things to smithereens!"
The two started arguing, completely disregarding the occasion, but just then, the disgusting minion monster called the Great Drill Worm surrounded them.
The petite girl noticed them first.
"They're getting closer! It's watching us..."
"I...I'll figure something out."
The taller girl spoke, gathering magic power in her hands, and shouted, "Fireball!"
A fireball formed from gathered magic power blasted towards the oncoming giant burrowing worm.
boom!
An explosion rang out, and the giant burrowing worms, much larger than them, fell to the ground, unable to rise again.
"call--"
"what--"
The two of them took deep breaths and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just one strike! That was incredible!"
Someone noticed and looked at the scene with surprise, then their face lit up with joy: "That makes things much easier, but there seem to be several more down there. Please help!"
"Eh?"
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned, and then, a dozen large burrowing insects suddenly emerged from the ground and surrounded them.
Its body writhed like tentacles, and saliva splattered from its gaping maw, a sight both terrifying and disgusting.
"This...this level of monster doesn't need me, a great mage, to take action..." The petite girl's voice trembled as she spoke, turning and walking towards the carriage.
"Then, I... I'll go protect the carriage..."
However, she could only take one step before she was unable to move, as the taller girl grabbed her robe.
"If you're really a great magician, then find a way to deal with them!" she complained, pointing at the monsters, looking helpless and scared.
"Ugh! So many! Hey, Megumin, Megumin...Megumin! Hey! Hey!"
She called out the petite girl's name, pleading for help, her voice already trembling with tears.
Unfortunately, the girl named Huihui didn't want to pay any attention to her, and she struggled, trying to escape.
"No......"
"You two really don't know your place," Shi Chen suddenly appeared in front of them, shaking his head helplessly.
"what?"
When Huihui saw the person who suddenly appeared, she froze and forgot to struggle.
The taller girl exclaimed in surprise, "Spatial teleportation?!"
"No, but it's pretty much the same." Shi Chen denied with a smile, then put his hand on the shoulders of the two of them.
"Come with me."
"Roar--!"
Just then, a giant earthworm lunged at them with its gaping maw, but before its saliva could even touch them, Shichen and the two of them vanished.
Bang-!
The giant burrowing beetle missed its target and crashed into the ground.
At the same time, Shichen led the two back to the carriage.
There were three other people in the car: two women wearing cloaks, one older and one younger, who looked like a mother and daughter; and a third woman with a fat head and big ears, whose clothes looked very rich.
"Phew—I'm saved!" Sitting down, Huihui breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into her seat.
The taller girl immediately thanked Shi Chen, saying, "Th-thank you for saving us."
She then took a good look at Shi Chen's appearance, and his refined and unique appearance made her pause for a moment.
"You're welcome," Shi Chen said with a smile, waving his hand.
"Big brother, you're amazing! How did you do that? You came back from outside in no time!" The little girl who was already in the carriage asked Shi Chen excitedly.
"Oh, that's something I did because I wanted to," Shi Chen smiled slightly at her.
"Wow~ That's amazing!" The little girl clapped her hands with her mouth wide open.
"that......"
The fat, big-eared man tried to fawn over Shi Chen by grabbing his clothes, but didn't dare. He asked in a low voice, "Are you a great magician? Can you save us?"
"That's no problem... You're going to Axel, right? Could you give me a ride?"
"No problem!" he immediately assured, patting his chest.
"Thank you."
"Are you really a great magician?" At this moment, Huihui, who had recovered, suddenly interjected and asked.
"Huihui, you're being very rude!" the taller girl immediately scolded. "This gentleman just saved us, and he used teleportation, so he must be a great magician."
"hehe."
Shi Chen smiled, not minding, and asked the taller girl, "What's your name?"
"Huh? Me? Me?" The taller girl pointed at herself in disbelief.
"of course."
"My name is Youyou..."
"Youyou? Would you like to fight those monsters with me?"
"Eh!"
Chapter 104 Huihui and Youyou
"Is there a problem?" Shi Chen asked Youyou with a slight smile.
"Um... I must have heard correctly, right? Sir, you mean you want me to fight the monsters together?" Youyou looked at Shichen timidly and asked incredulously.
"Yes, you heard me right." Shi Chen nodded with a smile.
"Why, why?"
"Aren't you a magician? Two people are always better than one, right?"
“That’s right…” Youyou seemed conflicted, or perhaps afraid.
"Are you lacking in confidence?" Shi Chen gently shook his head and asked softly.
"I'm sorry..." Youyou lowered her head in shame.
"Don't worry," Shi Chen patted her shoulder, comforting her.
"Huh?" Youyou looked up at him, puzzled.
"Believe in yourself, didn't you just kill a giant burrowing worm with one fireball?"
"Maybe it was just an accident..."
"That wasn't an accident; that's your skill. Those people outside are fighting a tough battle right now. Can you bear to watch something happen to them?"
"Well......"
"Besides, I'm here to protect you. You can just focus on dealing with those monsters. Don't you want to become stronger?"
"Can...can I really do it?" Youyou asked, her heart pounding.
Looking at Shichen's smile, her heart inexplicably raced, and her lovely face flushed slightly.
She was flattered that a complete stranger valued her so much, especially since the other party was a great mage who was also so handsome.
"Do not lie to you."
Why are you so good to me?
"I see you're very talented, so I couldn't help but want to help you," Shi Chen explained.
