Chapter 177: The Appearance of the Elk Queen. Don’t Come Over!
The white eagle constantly let out cries.
From the sounds, one could tell that it was extremely terrified.
Surrounded by the net of fire, the white eagle didn’t dare to fly around.
If it was accidentally touched by the net of fire, it would instantly turn to ashes.
Furthermore, it had long since exhausted its strength. Even if it wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be able to.
Klein took the opportunity to fly directly onto the white eagle and step on its head.
“I’ll give you three seconds.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
When he counted to one.
The white eagle made a sound of compromise.
The corners of Klein’s mouth curled up slightly as he canceled the fire net.
He used the Golden Firestorm Saber to press against the white eagle’s head.
“If you dare to play any tricks, your head will leave your body in an instant, understand?”
The white eagle nodded vigorously, afraid that Klein would slash it to death.
“Lead the way.”
The white eagle gave a weak cry and flew in a certain direction.
Below them was a wide forest.
They had just been in an aerial battle, so Klein didn’t observe it carefully.
Now that he looked at it, Klein couldn’t help but feel astonished.
After flying for more than ten minutes, he still couldn’t see the end of the forest.
If he kept walking, he might have to consider the strange things in the forest.
He might have to walk for a day and a night, and he might not even be able to leave the forest.
He flew for a full hour.
Only then did he pass through the forest.
‘Is this guy not in the forest?’
Klein was very puzzled.
He passed through the forest and entered a plain.
Beneath the plain, there were many animals such as cows and sheep.
It was exactly the same as what Klein had seen in his previous world.
At that moment, the cows and sheep, who were leisurely eating the tender grass, suddenly let out a terrifying cry.
Not far away, a lion was walking over.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the lion didn’t bother hiding and directly ran towards the cows and sheep.
Soon, a fat cow that was alone was caught by the lion.
The lion jumped up and in the blink of an eye, it snapped the fat cow’s neck.
The fat cow fell to the ground.
Blood flowed out.
The fat cow was still struggling, but after the lion snapped its throat, it completely stopped moving.
Next, the lion began to enjoy its prey.
After witnessing the entire scene, Klein felt even more puzzled.
These cows, sheep, and lions were from the previous world.
Ever since he came to the catacombs world, Klein had never seen them.
Furthermore, the air here was very fragrant.
There were green forests, fog, blue skies, white eagles, cows, sheep, lions, and many beautiful but nameless plants.
‘Could it be that I’ve returned to the previous world?’
Klein was shocked by the sudden thought.
‘How long will it take to arrive?’
Sensing the white eagle’s flying speed slowing down, Klein felt that the fellow’s stamina was running out.
The white eagle let out a cry, but Klein couldn’t understand it at all…
This made it very awkward.
“Another fellow who can understand me but is unable to communicate with me.”
It was truly a headache.
At that moment, Klein saw a small forest at the end of the plain.
The white eagle let out another cry and landed at the entrance of the small forest.
“Is this the place?”
Klein asked as he looked at the white eagle’s pitiful gaze.
The white eagle nodded frantically.
[The white eagle isn’t lying. The Elk Queen is here. Go in. She’s waiting for you inside.]
“Alright, you can go.”
Klein waved his hand.
He was a man of his word. Since the white eagle had brought him here, he would let him go as promised.
Seeing that he had been saved, the white eagle flapped its wings excitedly and quickly flew away.
The speed at which it flew away made Klein suspect that the fellow had flown so slowly on purpose…
‘Forget it, who cares…’
With the Elk Queen right in front of him, he wasn’t in the mood to think too much.
He walked into the woods.
The air here was a hundred times fresher than the forest from before.
This was the first time Klein felt that breathing was such a blissful and enjoyable thing.
Every time he took a breath, Klein felt the dopamine in his brain secrete a lot of pleasure.
[The air here contains very nutritious substances. Inhaling more of it is beneficial to the body.]
Upon seeing the notification, Klein inhaled even more vigorously.
Of course, he didn’t stop.
Soon, Klein arrived near a small forest that was filled with fluorescent light.
“The air here smells even better than before. There’s an indescribable fragrance.”
The plants here were also much more beautiful than before.
It was like… a fairyland.
Klein had never seen any fairyland.
In the previous world, Klein had seen many movies about fairylands.
Klein felt that compared to this place, the fairylands in those movies were like a market.
Suddenly, Klein saw a shadow flash past in the forest not far ahead.
Very quickly, almost in an instant.
But he caught it.
It was a four-legged creature!
Its body resembled a deer!
‘Could it be that it’s the Elk Queen?’
This thought surfaced in his mind, and he immediately chased after it.
However, he didn’t find any traces of the Elk Queen where the shadow had appeared.
‘Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?’
The corners of Klein’s mouth curled up as fireflies rose up in his hand.
“Fireflies!”
Countless fireflies spread out in all directions.
Klein closed his eyes and sensed the feedback of the information brought by the fireflies.
“What a beautiful fluorescent light. Is this your ability?”
Suddenly, the voice of an older sister came from behind Klein.
It had a hint of warmth to it.
“Who is it?”
Klein’s first reaction was to put some distance between them before turning his head abruptly.
He saw a very beautiful woman’s face appear in his line of sight.
It was definitely the face of a big sister.
It was very mature.
And this woman’s lower body…
Was the body of a deer.
“Are you the Elk Queen?” Klein asked.
In his hand, he was already clenching the Golden Firestorm Saber tightly.
He was ready to fight at any moment.
“Heh heh, don’t worry. I won’t make a move against you. In other words, I don’t have any hostility,” the Elk Queen said with a smile.
“Why? Do you want to do something with me?”
The Elk Queen winked at Klein and swayed her voluptuous figure.
“How do you prove it?”
Klein ignored the flirtatious glances thrown at him by the Elk Queen. He didn’t believe her first sentence.
During his time in the catacombs world, he had encountered some things that made him especially vigilant.
“About that… look, I’m not even holding a weapon!”
The Elk Queen spread her hands and spoke to Klein with a smile.
Although she had an air of a big sister, she didn’t seem to be that aloof.
[The Elk Queen doesn’t have any hostility toward you. You can let down your guard. This fellow may appear to be a big sister and likes to tease others, but once you really ‘attack’ her, she will immediately cower. You can try it.]
Seeing the notification above the Elk Queen’s head, Klein lowered his guard.
He put away his Golden Firestorm Saber.
“Heh heh, why do you suddenly trust me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind?” the Elk Queen suddenly said in an extremely cold tone.
“Heh heh, I won’t. I trust you.”
Klein boldly walked towards the Elk Queen.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
Seeing Klein walk towards her so confidently, the Elk Queen panicked.
“I’m not. I just want to hug you,” Klein said with a smile.
“Wait, you… Don’t come over!”
