Chapter 249: D87. The Girl of Flowing Water

Having finally emerged from the Fog Stone Forest, basking in the warm sunlight, the Hero loosened her Finger Claw and casually hooked it with one finger, carelessly stretching out her limbs and sitting down on the ground.

To revel in the long-missed sunshine, she lifted her hood, pulled down her face veil, slightly undid her upper garments, faced upwards to the sky, leaning back with her palms propping her on the slightly scorching ground,

The Hero’s chest rose, her hands supporting her relaxed body.

The tight Chainmail covered the silky skin of the Snake Maiden but the soft and well-fitting Silver Chain Armor outlined her delicate collarbones and subtle curves without reserve.

The heat in the atmosphere was ceaselessly transformed into Magic Power by the Finger Claw, a warm current flowing from her fingers to every limb, making the Hero comfortably squint her eyes.

[Hero activated skill: Vitality, Fatigue Status removed]

"Feel alive again..."

The young girl let out a lazy long sigh.

Although this wasn’t any comfortable room or soft bed, merely a small patch of sunlit ground amidst the black mountains and thick fog,

But for the Hero, who felt nearly spent after emerging from the thick fog, this rare patch of light and warmth was already enough to temporarily soothe her body and mind, enjoying a moment’s respite.

[Rest until (Noon♛——Afternoon——Night)]

[Due to Equipment Skill: Heater, Hero’s Magic Power is restored by 616-300=316, Beast Spirit Magic Power: 1168/2000]

[Before passing the Forbidden Melting Peak, the Hero’s Magic Power will recover 316 per hour until reaching the full limit]

"It’s about time to get going again."

Quietly resting in this area for a while, feeling significantly revived, the Hero patted the dust from her behind, stood up.

Although she was still fond of the tranquility and comfort here, a sense of urgency in her heart urged her to move forward.

She clenched the Finger Claw, the warm flow of Magic Power continued to pour into her, allowing her to maintain the Fusion Transformation that was draining her of Magic Power substantially.

Legendary Level weapons, truly remarkable.

"Still good to go?"

The Hero looked sideways at the Gleaming Scale Serpent that was also silently recovering its strength and showed a hint of worry.

Though mainly relying on her Perception to move forward in the fog, the Gleaming Scale Serpent too had not rested all day, to say nothing of, unlike her fully equipped self, it was no different from ordinary Magic Creatures except for the Stigmata on its scales.

While the Gleaming Scale Serpent was indeed a rare Magic Creature, its presence felt trivial in the environment of the highlands, where the harsh and unpredictable conditions were equally challenging for it.

And the journey ahead would only become more difficult,

They were now gradually approaching the snowy mountain region, the slight upward slope ahead was proof, once they crossed this section of Forbidden Melting Peak, they would be greeted by the relentless embrace of snowstorm.

[Can the Gleaming Scale Serpent hold on?]

1. Yes♛

2. No

D2=d2(1)=1

[Do you want to take a detour?]

1. Yes (Journey duration+d5)

2. No (Passing by the edge of the volcano)♛

D2=d2(2)=2

But facing the Queen’s concern, the Gleaming Scale Serpent simply nodded calmly, conveying a resolute will to the Hero through the bond of Magic Power.

It neither liked winter nor was fond of the heat, despite being a Magic Creature, the most primal instincts were deeply rooted.

It also knew that the Queen was becoming stronger step by step, and perhaps in the not too distant future, it would be left far behind, unable to even chase her shadow.

But at least for now, it could follow closely behind the Queen.

The Queen’s footsteps would one day reach the high heavens, even the endless deep sea could not block her path.

And it, without wings to fly into the sky, could only sigh in the face of a small river.

But its duty was not yet complete, so it would do everything in its power, go to the limits of its capability, and stay by her side.

Magic Power flowed through the Scale Armor, and the Gleaming Scale Serpent raised its head, emitting a vibrant hiss.

"Sssss—"

"Good! Then let’s set off!" Hearing her Familiar’s spirited response, the Hero also showed a smile.

The curvature of her mouth along with the sunlight reflected in the vertical pupils of the Gleaming Scale Serpent, casting an unparalleled radiance.

[The Gleaming Scale Serpent’s Level has increased]

D10=d10(1)=1

The Hero remembered when she was a child, she read such a sentence in some book: "Matter does not shift at the will of humankind."

Just as her will was so firm, in the end, she did not persist in finishing that page...

Although she had made up her mind, the Gleaming Scale Serpent’s strength had grown only slightly due to the long battles and treks.

After all, unlike the Hero who grows stronger through killing, or humankind which could improve through learning and training, the growth of Magic Creatures generally relies on the accumulation of nature.

There are occasional mutations, or Magic Creatures that eat something strange and become significantly stronger, but those are few and far between.

Humankind tends to strongly believe in their own possibilities, regardless of their origins, as long as they have Talent and put in sufficient effort, surpass their own environment, reaching new realms, is not a rare event for humankind.

Like the village chief grandma, she made her way from a remote village to the Capital, and achieved considerable success and status even in the academy full of outstanding talents.

While it was different for Magic Creatures, their Species often became an insurmountable shackle, their innate strength instead becoming a difficult-to-break chain that made evolution exceedingly hard.

This is also why, back in Phoenix Feather Forest, the Hero’s Will was able to resonate with all of the Winged Ones.
