Mythical Creatures Strategy Guide

After breakfast, the group continued on their way.

Arthur sat in front of the carriage with the map in his hand, while Ella ran around the carriage, sometimes disappearing into the bushes and sometimes running back with something strange in her mouth.

Around noon, the roads became increasingly muddy. Even Ella obediently boarded the carriage, making the interior quite crowded.

Chu Sheng sternly refused Amber's invitation to sit on her lap and decided to get off the carriage and ride a horse to make room for the women.

Yinye was also excited upon hearing this; she had long been curious about whether or not celestial horses could be ridden. At Chu Sheng's urging, she jumped off the carriage.

Ella, still traumatized by Pegasus, didn't dare try. Ambermin, sitting upright in the carriage, noticed Ella's disappointment and offered to teach her to read.

"I advise you not to try it." Arthur sat in front of the carriage, watching Chu Sheng and Yin Ye crept forward stealthily. "Pegasus hasn't been trained for riding, and I can't guarantee what might happen."

"What are you afraid of!" Chu Sheng waved his hand and stepped behind Yin Ye. "Eel! Yin Ye! You go first! I'll cover your retreat!"

Yinye stared at him in shock: "Chu Sheng, are you human?"

Just then, the last Pegasus noticed out of the corner of its eye that two sneaky figures had crept up behind it. Without hesitation, it kicked backward with its hind legs!

Chu Sheng acted quickly, grabbing Yin Ye's collar and pulling her back to shield her in front of him!

"Whoosh!"

Large swaths of mud and water were kicked up by the Pegasus's hooves, soaking the two men completely.

Although Chu Sheng had the silver leaf for cover, the silver leaf was too short and couldn't block out much.

"Chu Sheng!" Yin Ye screamed, "Are you even human?!"

After the muddy section of road, there is a clear stream.

Arthur decided to rest by the creek and have the two drenched men clean their muddy clothes and boots.

Amber gave birth to several large leaves to act as a screen, separating men and women and blocking the view for everyone.

Silverleaf was a complete mess. She sat on a rock and washed for ages, getting angrier the more she washed. Ella squatted down next to her, trying her best to help scrub her boots. As she scrubbed, she started to wonder if she could bite through the leather shoelaces.

Arthur used holy light to dry the cleaned clothes. The clothes "poof"ed out a puff of white steam, instantly becoming incredibly dry and carrying a hint of sunshine.

Chu Sheng stood on the other side of the screen, wearing the cloak that Amber had lent him. The cloak was too big for him; the hem was bunched up on the ground, and the sleeves were empty, making him look like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes.

Amber walked around the screen to his side, bent down and fastened his collar for him: "Is it tight?"

Chu Sheng tried hard not to look at places he shouldn't: "No."

Amber didn't say anything, but her hand slid down on its own. At the same time, she raised a finger to Chu Sheng and put it to her lips, letting out a soft shushing sound.

Chu Sheng gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Don't hold it in," Amber breathed softly in his ear. "They'll find out if you wait too long."

Chu Sheng really wanted to complain. He hadn't even thought of it, but Amber was always looking for an opportunity to help!

It has to be said that even a queen as elegant and noble as her would develop some psychological problems after living in a forest full of female elves for over a thousand years.

Under Amber's subtle, fluctuating magical control, Chu Sheng did not deliberately restrain himself. But just then, Arthur walked over from the other side of the screen, carrying a dried shirt in his hand.

She saw Amber was bending over in front of Chu Sheng, her hands moving rapidly inside her cloak. She paused slightly, asking, "What are you doing?"

Amber didn't let go, nor did she look up: "Almost done."

"?" Arthur was dumbfounded.

"Uh!" Chu Sheng couldn't help but weakly raise his hand. "Arthur, could you please bring me my boots too? Thanks!"

The afternoon journey was easier than the morning one.

Pastures appeared on both sides of the trade route, and in the distance, a herd of black and white cows could be seen grazing slowly on the grass.

When Ella saw the cow, she immediately stopped and stared longingly at Chu Sheng.

She remembered that Chu Sheng had said he would buy her milk if he had the chance.

The ranch owner, a chubby middle-aged man, saw the group passing by and enthusiastically sold them a bucket of fresh milk.

It was Ella's first time drinking milk. She took a sip from the wooden bowl, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Chu Sheng! It's delicious!"

Yinye, on a whim, rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small pinch of Yinye tea, which she then added to the hot milk. She stirred it, took a sip, and her pointed ears immediately perked up: "Wow, this is amazing!"

Chu Sheng was also curious, so he snatched it and took a bite.

The tea aroma is subtle, and the milk is rich and creamy; it actually does resemble milk tea.

Chu Sheng looked at Yin Ye, his expression serious: "Are you interested in pulling off a big heist together?"

Silver Leaf asked warily, "What's so big?"

"When we're rich in the future, we'll open a chain of stores in the empire, specializing in this milk tea, and we'll call it 'Turtle Tea Princess'!"

Yinye was puzzled: "Why is it called a turtle coffee table? Can a turtle be used as a coffee table?"

"Don't worry about it, as long as it makes money!"

"Is this enough for me to buy a musical instrument?"

"Buy, buy a whole bunch! We can even hire you as our spokesperson and have you sing our promotional songs!"

"Can I sing in the Imperial Central Square?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Yinye slammed his hand on the table, but there were no tables nearby, so he patted the milk bucket instead: "Bottoms up!"

The ranch owner, listening nearby, was taken aback: "Are you buying a second bucket?"

Arthur suddenly spoke up from the side: "The 'Turtle Tea Princess' you mentioned already has branches in the Empire, and more than one. But they call it 'Eight Kings Tea Princess'."

A thunderbolt seemed to strike Chu Sheng's mind, and he turned his head in shock, asking, "Who? Who opened it?"

"Your predecessor," Arthur said, unsure of his sudden reaction, recalling, "before Veronica became a 'Hero,' she sold milk tea in the Empire. Apparently, it was quite successful, but after she became a 'Hero,' she sold all her shops."

Traveler!

Chu Sheng felt his heart pounding.

Veronica is definitely a time traveler too!

Could it be that every "Hero" is a transmigrator like him and Veronica?

But Veronica is clearly from several decades ago, so the timelines of the two worlds don't match up.

No, whether I am a "hero" is still debatable...

Chu Sheng's expression changed. Although he had obtained a major piece of information, the mystery surrounding the "Hero" and the transmigrators was growing ever larger.

Seeing his prolonged silence, Arthur assumed he was regretting having his business stolen, so he comforted him, "It's alright. Once the Sacred Tree Free Trade Market develops, it will definitely be just as good as selling milk tea."

Chu Sheng forced a smile, but his mind was still preoccupied.

As evening fell, the group found an abandoned roadside shrine and set up camp.

The shrine was for travelers to pray for blessings; the statue inside was missing half its face and held an empty lamp in its hands. Dry grass was laid in the corner, and a low wall surrounded it for wind protection, making it a decent campsite.
