Chapter 29

~7 min read 1,246 words

Lilisi's sharp voice brought Helai'er back to his senses; just as he was preparing to leave as if nothing had happened, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"So, your name is Helai'er!"

"Caw~"

"Haha, hello Helai'er! And you, Lilisi, nice to meet you! My name is Xie Yaoyao!"

"Caw caw! Hello! Xie Yaoyao! What a strange name, but travelers' names are all very strange; I might be able to call you Yao!"

Xie Yaoyao's words quickly made Helai'er forget about leaving; anyway, this guy's shoulder was spacious, and this guy exuded an aura that made people want to get close.

"Where are your manners? Stupid Helai'er! Don't judge others' names casually. Caw caw!"

"Caw caw! What does it matter, anyway humans can't understand what we say."

"Idiot, your behavior and words will make Little Red Riding Hood unhappy. Caw caw!"

Looking at the two crows arguing again, Xie Yaoyao smiled helplessly.

"I think I don't mind how you call me; you can call me Yao! Little Red Riding Hood, you can also call me that!"

After speaking, Xie Yaoyao revealed a big smile toward Little Red Riding Hood.

The protagonist's favorability still needs to be brushed.

Xie Yaoyao's smile immediately made Little Red Riding Hood, who was full of ignorance, blush, but she still nodded gently and agreed.

And the other one person and two birds were all stunned; it was only after a long while that Owen asked suspiciously.

"Xie Yaoyao, my friend, I don't know that you can communicate with animals?"

That's what you say; Little Red Riding Hood being able to communicate with animals is a matter of course, is it very strange that I can also understand animal language?

"A clever experience taught me how to communicate with animals; they are spirits in the jungle, aren't they?"

"That's an amazing ability; you will be a good hunter, my friend."

After confirming that the two crows wouldn't go back to report, Owen's mood also relaxed a lot.

And the two crows agreed to take turns flying to the front to conduct reconnaissance for the team.

Originally, all this was unnecessary; no wild beast in the forest could pose a threat to this team.

But the werewolf who escaped always made Owen worried.

Contrary to Owen, Xie Yaoyao was not too worried about this.

He knew that the one who escaped was not a werewolf spy under the witch, but the werewolf Meng Xi who was peeping from the side, ready to take revenge at any time.

But to be honest, as a hunter now, he didn't fear a werewolf who had already died once and lost quite a few entries.

"So, Helai'er and Lilisi, you two are not the witch's subordinates?"

"Of course not, we are different from that disgusting toad! If it weren't for the contract we signed with the witch, we wouldn't run errands for her! Caw caw!"

"Contract?"

"Yes, contract! We serve her for ten years, and as a reward, the witch will concoct a magic potion that can stimulate talent for us; as long as we drink that kind of magic potion, we can become magical creatures."

Hearing that the contract time was ten years, Xie Yaoyao understood that these two stupid crows were deceived by that witch.

Little Red Riding Hood was born twelve years ago, and then lived in the Razika Kingdom for three years, and this year seems to be the time when the witch is preparing to make a move on Little Red Riding Hood.

So that is to say, no matter what conspiracy the witch has against Little Red Riding Hood, it will definitely be completed within this ninth year of this year.

And for the witch who has completed the plan, how to deal with these two spiritual crows after the contract expires next year is all up to her.

"So it's a transaction! However, it doesn't matter if the witch knows you have become friends with Little Red Riding Hood?"

The two crows looked at Xie Yaoyao with strange eyes.

"Caw caw! Why can't we be friends with Little Red Riding Hood? Isn't Little Red Riding Hood the witch's disciple?"

"Uh! You're right!"

Looking at Little Red Riding Hood's hesitant look, Xie Yaoyao patted her little shoulder.

"Helai'er, Lilisi, Little Red Riding Hood hasn't been to the witch's hut for a long time; can you tell her what the witch has been doing recently?"

Speaking of this, Helai'er was not sleepy at all; he jumped excitedly on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder.

"Caw caw! Unprecedented! Incomparably great! The witch is preparing a very powerful magic array; although I don't know what it's for, it is undoubtedly a magic array that is powerful beyond compare!"

Even Lilisi on the side followed up.

"Not only a powerful magic array, I secretly saw the witch prepare a bottle of precious 'Water of Life', maybe the witch is preparing to perform a magic baptism for Little Red Riding Hood! Caw caw!"

Xie Yaoyao and Owen looked at each other, their faces becoming solemn.

The witch prepared such a big battle; it seems she is determined to be unfavorable to Little Red Riding Hood.

Compared to the trouble to be dealt with in the future, Xie Yaoyao was deeply interested in the knowledge Lilisi just mentioned.

"Water of Life? Magic baptism? Lilisi, what do you know?"

Helai'er on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder immediately said upon hearing this.

"Caw caw! I know, I know! Water of Life is a powerful magic potion; no matter how heavy the injury, it can be cured. Legend has it that even the most terrible curse can be alleviated by the Water of Life!"

Lilisi on the side, after being snatched of the conversation by Helai'er, glared at him fiercely, and then continued.

"That's right, legend has it that the Water of Life is made by little elves collecting the essence of the Water of Life! And magic baptism is a complex magic ritual."

Speaking of this, Lilisi looked down at Little Red Riding Hood at her feet with envy, and then continued.

"A successful magic baptism can allow the recipient to significantly improve their magic perception, and from then on, they will become the darling of magic!"

And Helai'er also followed up like singing a duet.

"Caw caw! It's countless times better than the kind of magic potion we agreed with the witch!"

Hearing Little Red Riding Hood's translation, Owen was completely stunned.

Could it be that that terrible old witch is not trying to harm their little princess? But is sincerely trying to take Little Red Riding Hood as a disciple?

"Can that powerful magic array only be used as a magic baptism ritual?"

Xie Yaoyao asked curiously.

"No! The magic array only serves to condense enough mana; it can be used for any magic ritual! Caw caw!"

Xie Yaoyao had black lines all over his head.

"So, the magic baptism you just mentioned is all your own guess!"

These two stupid crows, he and the others were almost bluffed by them.

But that's right, if they weren't low in IQ, how could they be tricked by the witch into working for nothing!

"Caw caw! Little Red Riding Hood is the witch's disciple, the witch preparing the magic array must be..."

Listening to Helai'er and Lilisi's constant explanations, Xie Yaoyao recalled all the fairytales, and it seemed that everyone was very innocent, especially the animals in the stories.

They believe whatever others say!
