After another round of torture from the three-wheeled motorcycle, I felt like my entire body was about to fall apart when I got out of the car. As the water elementalist massaged my shoulders, he was still unhappy that I didn't allow him to cast a spell directly.
Ignoring the water elementalist's reproach, I surveyed my surroundings. At the end of the mountain path was an endless forest that no vehicles could enter. Looking around, he realized that there were mountains everywhere, standing tall.
It was only in such a remote place that there were those strange legends about the girl of the Flower Falling Cave that Boss Zhao mentioned. However, what's giving me a headache right now is that as a ten-thousand-year-old direction idiot, I've already lost my sense of direction. I was in an unfamiliar mountain forest, looking at the small path that led to nowhere to return. I expressed my helplessness.
"Look, there seems to be smoke rising from the chimneys. There should be people living there. Let's go that way and ask those people about the Luohua Cave girl.”Compared to my panic, the water elementalist was as calm as ever. She pointed at a wisp of smoke not far away and reminded me.
Boss Zhao didn't say much about how to find the Flower Falling Cave Girl. We can only rely on ourselves. I nodded in agreement, and the two of us walked deeper into the forest.
If we ignore the overall area, the forest here is somewhat similar to our back mountain. The big trees that completely blocked out the sun, the rustling sounds of insects and birds, and the feeling of being uninhabited.
I suddenly felt that something unclean might jump out here. I remembered the Five Elemental Talismans that Boss Zhao gave me and wanted to take them out just in case.
However, when the talisman was placed in my palm, I felt my mind go blank. What was the incantation to activate the talisman?
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. He only remembered that it was 'Yellow Sky Above, Thick Earth Below.' As for the last two sentences, he couldn't remember them no matter what. I was annoyed by my shameful memory and hit my head hard.
The water elementalist who had been focusing on recognizing the surrounding terrain heard my voice and turned around. I followed closely behind him and didn't notice his movements. I accidentally bumped into him.
"Be careful, how are you walking?" The water elementalist held onto me, who was shaking from the impact, and scolded me worriedly.
But when he saw my sad expression and the talisman in my hand, he instantly understood my problem.
"Songyu can't remember?" Even though he was certain, the water elementalist still asked with a relaxed expression. There was also a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Yes!" I was too busy studying the talisman to notice his evil intentions.
" What an idiot." The water elementalist continued to tease me." I really don't know how you got into university. Can't you even remember a few words?”
Hearing that someone was doubting my intelligence, I put away the talisman and raised my head unwillingly, ready to argue with him.
"What I learned was modern high-tech knowledge, science! Who could remember this eulogy that was even harder to memorize than ancient prose? Who could remember it if it was not written into chapters or sentences?”
Looking at the water elementalist's increasingly happy expression, I pouted so much that I could hang a bucket on it.
" Stupid is stupid, why are you quibbling?" Amused by my unreasonable words, the water elementalist gently scratched my nose with his index finger and smiled dotingly.
"You!" I was so angry that my face turned red." How dare you laugh at me!”After saying that, he pretended to be angry and turned around to ignore her.
"Alright, don't be angry. Let me teach you, okay?”I felt a familiar chest on my back. I didn't know if my face was burning red from anger or embarrassment.
Seeing my reaction, the smile on the water elementalist's face deepened. He approached me just now to take out a charm from my body to demonstrate, but he didn't expect to receive an unexpected effect. He found it even more interesting to tease me.
"Come, turn around." With a talisman in his hand, the water elementalist gently placed his hands on my shoulders as if he was coaxing a child, making me turn around to look at him.
I tried my best to calm down my anger and shyness. I calmed down and carefully watched the water elementalist's demonstration.
"This is how you use the talisman." The water elementalist gestured for me to watch his actions. At the same time, he pressed his index and middle fingers together against his forehead like Boss Zhao and chanted," The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is below, the heaven and earth are clear, there is no need for me to be a tree.”Then, he opened his eyes and pointed at the talisman in his palm. He turned his palm outwards and shouted," Break!”
The talisman in his palm emitted a bright light, as if something was about to fly out.
Boss Zhao's warning appeared in my mind: There were only five talismans, and each could only be used once.
I wanted to stop the water elementalist, but I saw tens of thousands of green vines rush out from the talisman and tightly wrap around the tree trunk in front of me. The talisman in the water elementalist's hand turned to ashes just like before.
"What a pity. If we were facing an enemy, this wooden talisman would definitely be of great use.”I caressed the green vines that were firmly locked to the tree trunk and sighed with regret.
"How is it? Have you learned it?" The water elementalist didn't regret wasting a talisman. He looked at me with an indifferent expression.
"I've learned it!" I answered absent-mindedly, thinking that I definitely couldn't waste the remaining three talismans.
"What are you worried about?" The water elementalist walked over and held my hand." No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side. I won't let you get hurt in the slightest. Therefore, it was fine if he didn't have these talismans.”
Even though he said that, I still wanted to do something for him once in a while.
After solving my problem, I held hands with the water elementalist and continued to walk towards the smoke. The mountain road was full of twists and turns. We didn't know how many wrong roads we took or how many mountains we climbed. It wasn't until the sun gradually set that we finally arrived at the source of the smoke, a strange-looking shop.
The rush all the way made me, who was already in poor health, gradually lose my strength. I couldn't wait to sit down in the shop, ask for a meal, and stay the night.
The water elementalist pulled me along with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" I turned around and looked at the water elementalist who was still standing there." It wasn't easy to find a family. Let's go ask them about the girl from Flower Falling Cave. It's better than wandering around the mountains."”
The water elementalist didn't reply to me. He just stood there, frowning as he thought about something.
I couldn't care less. With my stomach rumbling, I let go of the water elementalist's hand and knocked on the closed door. "At the same time, I also noticed that the threshold of this family is a little ridiculously high. If a normal person is not careful, they will definitely fall.
"Is anyone there?"
Creak--
The door opened.
"May I ask who this is?" A warm voice sounded, and a head popped out from the door.
It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. Although he was dressed simply, it could not hide his original handsome appearance.
