Witch, don't be so lazy

Every time you enter a new trial site in the "Four Seasons Trial", the scenery will change dramatically, as if it were four independent small worlds.

But now, all the things and people that connect the four trials have appeared.

Do you remember the three things that everyone will see when they first enter the wonderland in the forest?

The enormous Four Seasons Tree, the forest fairy sitting on the throne of nature, and the monument of destiny floating in the sky.

They have all undergone shocking changes.

The first one was the Tree of Four Seasons. The four seasons totems carved on its bark began to peel off. The emerald green spring buds, the crimson summer flowers, the golden-edged autumn leaves, and the blue winter frost lit up one by one, each gathering strength and rushing towards the monster.

At the same time, the forest fairy sitting on the throne of nature also stood up, and thorns and flowers paved a path for her to the "Corridor of Autumn".

At first, her figure and face could not be seen clearly, but as she took a step forward, she suddenly discovered that the fairy had also turned into Anke... uh, into an image exactly the same as the monster, and they were about to merge together.

Of course, change is not always smooth.

When the Free Monster shouted "bad boy" for the second time, something seemed to have gone wrong with the Spring Totem. Instead of merging directly with the monster, it began to interfere with other totems.

There were also metal blades that came from nowhere, hundreds and thousands of them, which shot out at the moment the fairy doctor left the throne in the forest.

As for the changes that appeared on the Stele of Destiny, they were enough to shock all the creatures paying attention to the competition.

Because one of the golden tickets, which symbolizes the referee, disappeared forever.

……

Outside the wonderland in the forest.

Something went wrong in the woods that had been glowing with colorful light. The light that was reaching the sky suddenly dimmed, and large tracts of trees fell down. A sound that was more terrifying than thunder spread wantonly in the wilderness.

The expeditionary force's temporary base was located not far away.

The surviving members of the Fairy Tale Kingdom expeditionary force all stared blankly ahead; even the wounded who were wailing while being bandaged by doctors were stunned.

"...What's going on?"

Rapunzel came out late and was closest to the wonderland.

Because the time was too short, she had not yet fully recovered from the influence of the "Summer Valley" hallucination, but now she did not care about the discomfort, but just looked at the fairyland uneasily, watching the collapsed trees and the reflection of the monument of destiny appearing in the air.

"Why did the golden referee ticket disappear? What happened in Wonderland? Miss White Snake..."

"Because the referee has stepped down as a contestant! I'm so impressed. Why don't you just find eight elves to compete? You'll win no matter how you fight. If you can't afford to play, then don't play!"

The sudden sound scared Rapunzel. A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the dense forest and, quite unusually, began to mutter.

Without a doubt, it was the dusty Encore.

"Miss White Snake!"

Rapunzel was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Are you okay?"

"good."

An Ke was panting. There were some scratches on her body and her magic power was consumed quite a lot, but her condition was indeed okay, uh, except for her mood.

"...Then, Her Highness Tali?"

"That's it, but don't be too sad, because the Fairy Tale Kingdom now has a character even more powerful than the princess: the Fairy! I suggest that the people from the other two camps just commit suicide right there! The organizers are going too far. Why don't they just give out the awards?!"

Because he was so speechless, even though Mammon the Imp vaguely guessed who gave him the [Spring Flower], he still couldn't help but be sarcastic.

It's too ridiculous.

Who would have thought that the elf's trump card was deathrattle. Even after the princess died, she could still directly call down the referee, the Forest Fairy, to participate in the competition. The Forest Fairyland and the referee tickets collapsed for this reason.

Although her rank was downgraded to the second level after she left the stage, the cheats she used were outrageous enough.

Damn, the Church only gave it one skill, while the Elves added a second character and four talents... That's right, each of the Four Seasons Totems is a talent, what the hell are others doing with this?!

Of course, due to the Bauhinia released by [Spring Flower], the Fairy's Spring Talent wasn't even acquired, and it seemed to have suppressed something else along the way. However, the three additional talents had already boosted the monster's already ridiculous strength to a new level. What the hell was going on?!

Even in this situation, Miss Anke just spoke in a sarcastic tone and did not curse directly. She is indeed a person of very high quality.

"...Fairy, are you talking about...the one in the distance? But...why does she look so strange?"

Rapunzel was a little dazed.

She looked at the evil fairy trapped in a bush of redbud and steel in the woods, and always felt that she was not awake yet.

Because apart from the difference in clothes and temperament, the fairy looks exactly like Miss White Snake.

"Yes... I also know a lot of things. It's Lingwu who hasn't figured it out yet, so don't ask me."

Anko sighed.

Until now, she is still confused about many things.

Tally, the mentally challenged one, the strange golden blood, the elves' trump card, the connection between monsters and woodland fairies, why did he get the [Spring Flower], why was he the organizer's boss, yet he was willing to give him a little cheat and not let him exit directly...

But Anke believed that there must be someone who could answer some of his questions.

Because the opponent had been waiting around the fairyland, when the fairy participated in the competition and caused the fairyland to collapse, the opponent took action and threw a very powerful treasure, which turned into countless steel blades and cooperated with the redbud bushes to temporarily suppress the fairy.

She raised her head and looked at the flower fairy hiding behind the shade of the trees.

Siennef Daiguan.

Chapter 180 Situation 103

"...The Iron Storm that appeared earlier should have been the reward for the magician's trial. Who would have thought it was actually the projection left on Fairy Tale Island by His Majesty, the Sage of Steel, Aqi, after he completed his ultimate mission..."

An Ke stared at the words made of white mycelium on the ground and suddenly realized.

No wonder the dark camp was able to complete a trial so quickly, because the leader of their contestants was a witch from the North, who was very powerful and had cheats, so she was able to pass the level at an incredible speed.

Speaking of which, as descendants of the sages who built the Northern Tower, the Crowned Family and the Steelheart Family seem to have a very good relationship.

I don’t know if it’s because of the friendship between the “Sage of Flowers” ​​and the “Sage of Steel” back then, or if it’s because both families have lost their legends. Even if their power is still huge, they can’t participate in the Tower Council. They are ultimately down and out, so they like to stick together.

Anyway, according to Momo, although the Steelheart Family majored in the School of Earth Studies and did have a lot of exchanges and interactions with the Black Rock City, in terms of closeness, they were closer to the Flower Demon of the Crowned Poison Swamp.

The Crowned Flower Fairies are a very well-known, yet mysterious and low-key tribe in the North.

Although there is a "flower" in the name, it is actually a misunderstanding among the people. People always think that they have a special flower on their heads, like a crown, but in fact that thing is the umbrella cap of a mushroom. The Crown-wearing family does not care about this, and it has gradually become a fixed name.

Therefore, it is better to say that they are fungus monsters rather than flower monsters.

When An Ke first learned about this from Momo, she knew about it, but it still felt a little unreal and she couldn't form a precise image in her mind.

Until now, until I saw the non-human girl in front of me... Well, although I don’t know whether mushrooms have gender, but since they look like this, Encore can only describe them like this.

On the top of the head is a beautiful orange umbrella, like an orange Amanita mushroom turned over, fluffy, looks like a built-in orange and gold velvet hat, and looks very suitable for the warm apricot eyes.

The hanging hyphae are similar to hair, except that they are gradient in color, from orange to white to light green. It is extremely dreamy and even reduces some of the abnormality of the skin, because it is not white with a hint of red, but the white of the mushroom.

Apart from that, they look like normal beautiful girls.

"...Sineve, can I call you that? Aren't you planning on coming over?"

An Ke paused and said hesitantly,

"There's no one else around. If we get closer, we can have a normal conversation. There's no need to use hyphae to draw words. It won't be too troublesome."

The voice just fell.

The mushroom girl opposite nodded first, then shook her head like a rattle, and shrank her whole body into the shade of the tree, with only half of her head sticking out.

Nodding means agreeing to the address, shaking the head vigorously means refusing to come over, or it may mean that controlling the mycelium is not difficult.

Such a firm refusal.

The expeditionary forces were clearly recuperating in the base, and Rapunzel had gone over to help. And frankly, even if they attacked together, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the girl... Could it be that his Holy Flame was too terrifying and the other party felt unsafe?

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Anke patted his chest with a friendly smile on his face.

After all, we are all from the North, and we have just fought side by side. Although we have not yet established a high level of trust, the foundation for cooperation is in place.

I don't know why, but after An Ke started speaking, I always felt something was wrong, as if I had become some evil kidnapper, or some villain with bad intentions...

Hey, she is obviously the innocent child who has been abducted and kidnapped by bad guys. It must be an illusion.

But Xinefu still shook her head.

This time, he even retreated the entire person, uh, the entire fungus, behind the tree.

The mycelium in front of him also changed, outlining a cartoon girl with half of her head emerging from the swamp and shadows. From the deliberately changed orange mycelium, it was not difficult to tell that the cartoon figure was referring to Sinefe.

She seemed to be using this method to express that she was just a mushroom growing in a dark corner, not liking offline contact with others, and could only communicate normally online (using hyphae)...

What a poor child! Could it be that he has been under too much pressure from his family at such a young age, such as the need to restore the family's glory, which has led to him developing social anxiety and autism?

After all, he was able to get a ticket to the Fairy Tale Island and must be the focus of the family's training. It's impossible for him to be depressed because of being bullied, right?

A trace of pity flashed through An Ke's heart, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.

Previously, the girls of her generation were all lively and cheerful, such as the cute and outgoing Xiaoyang. Momo was also lively, and even had a bit of the style of a social terrorist. She felt very justified in stalking, drugging and kidnapping people.

Only the Saint seemed a little quiet, but that was the clean and efficient style of the Witch Hunting Group. They would not talk too much if they could just take action. If communication was necessary, there would be no problem with that.

But when they got to the Fairy Tale Island, the situation suddenly became complicated. Feiman was a weak little coward, and now she meets a socially anxious person. Oh, I almost forgot, there is also Tali, the mentally retarded psychopath.

"……Feel sorry."

Forcing a person with social anxiety to contact outsiders is not a good behavior. The kind-hearted Miss Anke first thanked him, then changed the subject and returned to the main topic.

"Now can we kill that monster fairy together?"

The mycelium on the ground quickly combined to form a long paragraph.

"Don't go over there. The [Steel Sword Cluster] is a large-scale, indiscriminate attack. We'll be attacked even if we go in. If we're accidentally scratched by the steel blades, our magic power will be suppressed for a while, and the wound will cost a lot of life energy to heal."

"The creatures in the fairyland haven't disappeared. They are all guarding the fairy now. We have to wait until the power of the fairyland completely dissipates and there is nothing to maintain its existence. Only then can we approach, otherwise we will be besieged."

This is true.

An Ke glanced at the battlefield in the distance and saw it was a complete mess.

Inside a protruding steel blade, the Flame Spirit, the Flame Lord, the maggots, the beetles, the Dryad Guards, the Frost Skeletons, the Snow Elemental Spirits... the creatures of summer, autumn, and winter are all still active, fighting against the thorns that symbolize spring.

Although the creatures of the other three seasons are numerous and surpass the Purple Thorn in size and strength, they cannot completely defeat it because they are all part of the fairyland, and the result of fighting each other is that both sides will suffer losses.

Including the confrontation with the fairy, Thorn seemed to have borrowed the remaining power of the fairyland, combined with the indiscriminate attack of the steel sword, to be able to suppress it.

But once something foreign approaches, it’s hard to say.

An Ke was still unwilling to give up, and tried to cast a few "Frost Curses" towards the distance.

The result is naturally useless.

The light blue hailstones dropped into the colorful battlefield like a pile of pebbles thrown into the sea, hardly causing any waves.

Shit! I can’t even kick someone when they’re down!

"Tsk, what the hell are the elves doing? They gave the fairy such powerful strength, but now she's fighting herself, and it's so hard.

Anke felt speechless.

Those creatures were obviously arranged by the elves to help the fairies in the plot. Most of them were considered to be a backup in case the contestants of the good camp had internal conflicts, or for some other reasons, causing the characters of the fairy tale kingdom to refuse to help.

If things had developed normally, once the fairy arrived, she would have brought monsters from the four seasons and would have been able to sweep away almost everything.

So what is the situation now?

The Antlered God... uh, an unknown elk suddenly felt that Miss Anke was kind, cute, and had unlimited potential, so he decided to overturn hundreds of years of preparation and have a fight with both sides?

No, although I am from the chaos school, I have never clicked on the charm, and the system is not a charmer system.

Miss Anke, who was very self-aware, felt extremely confused, and her eyes wandered between the mycelium in front of her and the orange umbrella-shaped canopy exposed behind the tree.

She guessed that Sinefe must know something.

The same is true.

The socially anxious person knew so much that Anke was almost confused.

The first long paragraph is the real bomb.

"Because the elves' attempts this time have failed. The fairy they created, after a long period of deduction and a great deal of pure faith, theoretically the kindest and most flawless forest goddess, when limited to the second level and fused with [Goldenberry Blood], ultimately only resulted in a monster."

"From this, we can deduce that if the power of Fairy Tale Island were to be applied to the true Ancient Tree God, the results would only be worse. There would be no way to reverse His chaotic consciousness and form."

"At most, we can allow some dormant Elf Kings to temporarily emerge and move around. However, as long as the source of the problem isn't resolved, they could mutate at any moment."

"Therefore, at least until this round, Fairy Tale Island is powerless to change the situation. Whether or not this will lead to a new turn of events is something only the elves' higher-ups, or even the Antler God himself, know."
