Chapter 278 - 278. The Outer Region Of The Fairy Race
Setting foot in the fairy race for the first time, the first thing that entered Fu Xie Lan's violet eyes was a flower bed with a path that seemed to split the flower field into two parts.
Not so wide, it just looks like it's elongated as if following the walls of Kanca City.
After the flower field there are several small trees that look so green with very dense leaves, the trees are lined up neatly and very tightly, so to see the next tree will be a little difficult.
The row of dense trees resembles a hedge that looks elongated following the edge of a flower field.
Judging from the position Fu Xie Lan was in, no one would know what the scenery was like behind those dense trees.
Or is the fairy territory just field of flowers and forests like that? She didn't know, Fu Xie Lan wasn't so sure because it was her first time setting foot here.
"Why stop, kid? Come on," said Master Liu when he saw the girl who was with him stopped in her tracks.
Fu Xie Lan who was not aware of what she was doing immediately regained her focus and continued on her way.
"This is the outer territory of the fairy race," said Master Liu suddenly. His footsteps slowed down a bit in order to be able to match his position with Fu Xie Lan's position who had fallen behind.
Fu Xie Lan who heard Master Liu's words frowned faintly.
"The fairy race is divided into three parts, the outside, the inside, and the core," said Master Liu again.
"This outer area starts from the border to the dense trees there," he added.
"And this place is specially reserved for the guardian fairies."
Fu Xie Lan tried to digest all the words of the middle-aged man. So this place is inhabited by guardian fairies?
But as far as her eyes could see, she couldn't find a single creature.
"Every fifty flower petals here, inhabited by one guardian fairy," explained Master Liu again.
"Huh?"
"But I couldn't find a single creature, Uncle," said Fu Xie Lan.
Master Liu just smiled at Fu Xie Lan's words.
"It's not that you can't see, they just don't show up."
"And by now, you must have become the center of attention," said Master Liu again.
"They will only reveal themselves when they sense danger," he added.
Walking again, Master Liu and Fu Xie Lan started to comb the path that was in the middle of the flower bed. The height of the plants on the left and right is only up to the girl's legs.
Fu Xie Lan's steps suddenly stopped, her attention was distracted by the sound of someone groaning in pain, and she carefully searched for where the voice came from.
"What's the matter, kid?" Master Liu immediately turned around when he felt the girl following him stop again.
Fu Xie Lan remained busy searching for the source of the voice, as if she had not heard Master Liu's question to her.
The girl tried to search again.
One second...
Two seconds...
There!
A small creature with transparent green wings stuck to one of the plant roots sticking out to the surface.
With slow steps and movements, Fu Xie Lan approached the creature.
After looking at it at such a close distance, it seemed that one of the creature's wings was caught in the roots of a plant, and was slightly torn off.
No wonder, Fu Xie Lan heard the sound of groaning in pain, it turned out that the little creature in front of her seemed to be in torment.
"What do you..." Master Liu's words hung as his eyes caught the creature under the flower petals right near Fu Xie Lan. There was one of the guardian fairies who was injured.
Seeing the creature in front of her, Fu Xie Lan didn't wait long and immediately grabbed the root of the plant trapping the little creature.
Sensing someone approaching it, the little creature stared warily, still letting out an occasional groan.
While Fu Xie Lan who was trying to reach the root stopped her action. Can not! Her hands were too big for the creature and plant roots she wanted to reach.
However, the girl did not stop her action, slowly on the tip of her index finger the dense green mana gathered, and it managed to make Master Liu, who had been watching her since earlier, stupefied, rubbing his eyelids as if to confirm what his eyes were witnessing.
The Fairy mana he saw on the tip of Fu Xie Lan's index finger was not the mana of a fairy half-human, but rather resembled the mana of a fairy who was at the peak of the second level.
Carefully, Fu Xie Lan removed the root of the plant from the wing of the little creature there using the fairy's mana without adding to the wound in the slightest.
It only lasted a few seconds, and the creature was free.
Immediately Fu Xie Lan lifted the creature's body and noticed the wound on its wing.
"Hmmm, what a shame. My healing pills are too big for you to take," wailed Fu Xie Lan with a sigh.
While Master Liu who had just woken up from his shock immediately normalized the expression on his face.
"He is one of the guardian fairies here, kid," said Master Liu suddenly taking a crouching position right next to Fu Xie Lan.
"How to treat it, Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan raising her head.
Finishing saying her sentence, an idea suddenly popped into her head.
"Hao, come down!" Fu Xie Lan ordered.
And at the same time the little furry creature immediately descended from Fu Xie Lan's shoulders, jumped onto the ground, and stood right in front of her.
"Don't move," he said again and immediately got a nod from Hao.
After that, Fu Xie Lan placed the guardian fairy's body on top of Hao's dense fur. After that, the girl reached into her cosmic bag and pulled out a small porcelain bottle containing pills from inside.
Taking out one, Fu Xie Lan then crushed the pill in her palm until it was smooth.
When he finished, he slowly handed it to the little creature lying helplessly on Hao's thick fur.
As if understanding Fu Xie Lan's actions, the guardian fairy glanced at Master Liu, received a faint nod from the middle-aged man, only then did he approach the fine powder in the girl's palm by dragging his body, occasionally whimpering as if he was in pain.
Master Liu who saw this smiled without realizing it. Suddenly his memory returned to the figure who had saved his life in the center of Kanca City.
"Eat as much as you can," said Fu Xie Lan when she saw the little creature there as if forcing itself to finish off all the pill powder in the palm of her hand.
Hearing the girl's words, the little winged creature stopped its action and returned to its original position, atop Hao's silky thick fur.
"It turns out that Elder Huang Bao's disciple has this kind of good nature," said Master Liu again.
Fu Xie Lan who heard this only smiled faintly. "I didn't do anything, Uncle. Just give a little help," she said.
"How did you get hurt? Where are your other friends?" Master Liu asked the fairy who was still lying weakly.
Could be seen, its slightly torn wings slowly recovered and were intact as before.
