Chapter 587 I Am Your Real Body

"What do you mean?"

After leaving the sea of ​​consciousness, several people gathered in the room again. Mu You looked at the night watchman and asked.

The night watchman pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "The snake should not lie. I can still tell this. Without a certain amount of power, it really can't scare away the tapir. Moreover, from what it said, it seems that the tapir has always been the target of bullying by other natural disaster beasts. If the tapir finds that the snake is now in a weak state and has been sealed, it will definitely want to retaliate, and then we will be in danger."

Mu You pondered for a moment after listening, nodded and said: "Then do as it says."

"Ah? Really go to unseal that big guy..." Linglong swallowed her saliva. She has been in the Bitter Garden for four thousand years and has met the snake many times. She knows the horror of that thing very well.

Even if the snake is now sealed by them, it can't reduce her natural fear of the snake. If possible, she really doesn't want to deal with that kind of thing again.

"This is the most feasible way at present." Mu You exhaled.

"The question is, who will go?" Linglong asked.

There is only one way to unseal the snake and prevent it from escaping at the same time, that is to let people enter the suppression barrier, and forcibly suppress the snake by human will during the period when the holy spear is pulled out, until the holy spear is re-sealed.

However, the only night watchman who has done this before must confront the mirage tapir himself, and it is impossible to run both ways. This must be done by others.

"I'll do it." Mu You said.

"Main body... are you sure you can do it?" Linglong looked at Mu You anxiously. You know, the night watchman at the beginning was only able to suppress the snake for a short time after adapting for four thousand years. Now Mu You went in directly without any foreplay preparation, is it really okay?

"What are you talking about? I am your main body. In theory, I can do what you can do." Mu You smiled, comforted a few people, and then made a decision without question.

"That's it, number one and number two, you go to the Tower of Heroes, bring the twin stones, and give me a signal when you are ready." Mu You took out one of the twin stones and handed it to the herbalist.

This stone can be used across boundaries and contains certain "real" properties, so it should be able to materialize in the real world.

"Linglong, follow me to the Bitter Garden. Remember to bring the Kirin Arm."

"Remember, if you stay in the mirage for a long time, you will fall asleep, so it is best to get it done within a few hours."

Mu You has made a decision, and the three clones did not say anything more. After exchanging items, they started to act separately.

Ten minutes later, Mu You and Linglong appeared in the Red Rose Academy.

The entrance to the Bitter Garden stops at the Bitter Forest, which is a must-go place. However, the two of them have more time, and the night watchman has a tight schedule. They need to climb to the top of the Tower of Heroes and then move to the small island outside the entrance. During the process, they must always pay attention to the attacks of those mirage creatures. Everything is quite time-consuming.

So Mu You and Ling Long were not in a hurry. Before going to the forest, they planned to visit an old friend on the way.

Mu You came to the No. 1 teaching building of the academy and received a latest course schedule downstairs with his student badge.

After checking, he quickly confirmed the target classroom: No. 3 teaching building, classroom 302, course: potion science, lecturer: Gratrix Gesaberberry.

"302..."

The two entered the No. 3 teaching building and went all the way to the third floor. Mu You looked at the door number to find the classroom, but soon found that the so-called 302 classroom was empty and no one was in class.

Just when he was wondering, Ling Long found the clue first.

"Main body..."

Ling Long stood in front of the lecture hall door at the end of the corridor, whispered to Mu You, and then nodded the lecture hall door in front of him.

Mu You walked over and saw through the transparent doors and windows that the thin figure standing in front of the lecture hall was teaching. It was Gargamel who had not seen him for many days.

At this time, Gargamel has restored her appearance as a young girl, with a ponytail and a wizard robe. She looks like a little girl who has not yet grown out of her childishness.

However, her words and deeds seem quite mature and experienced. She wears a pair of wide glasses on her nose and holds a teaching stick. She talks at the podium. Her voice is not loud, but it can be heard throughout the audience.

The hundreds of seats in the entire lecture hall below are all full, and there are even many students standing in the back row. They all listen to the lecture seriously, and there are almost no students who are absent.

The two stood in front of the door for a while, and Gargamel seemed to feel the gaze outside and glanced at the door.

Then he turned his head and looked at the students below: "Today's class ends here. After returning, you will replicate today's temperature control experiment by yourself. I won't check it, but I hope everyone can complete it seriously."

"get out of class dismissed."

The originally quiet classroom suddenly became chaotic, and students walked out one by one with various experimental instruments.

The petite Gargamel was also mixed in the middle of the crowd, holding the lesson plan and walked out of the door. After watching at the door for a while, he walked towards the two.

"Gege-chan, you are so cool!" Linglong gave Gargamel a thumbs up and smiled.

"Thank you." Gargamel smiled, then turned around and looked around, and asked hesitantly: "Isn't the teacher... coming?"

"Oh, he is on another mission." Linglong waved her hand: "Why didn't you go to Earth with us, Gege? And if you want to see him, you can just go to him directly."

When they returned from the Bitter Garden, Linglong invited Gargamel to go with them, but she refused.

Gargamel finally decided to stay at the Red Rose Academy, but did not stay in the Black Forest alone. Instead, he returned to the academy under the introduction of Fuya and became a lecturer in potion science.

At least from today's situation, she was not looked down upon by students because of her petite figure and immature appearance. On the contrary, her lectures were very popular. There were too many students who came to listen to the lectures, so they had to move to the lecture hall to give lectures.

Hearing this, Gargamel smiled and shook his head: "I'll stay here. The teacher is doing something very important, and I can't disturb him at this time."

"Gege, you care too much about him..." Linglong was speechless.

"The teacher said that he doesn't have time to get entangled in love affairs now, so let me wait for him here... at most ten years. When he finishes dealing with important things, he will definitely come to me..." Gargamel covered his face below his eyes with the lesson plan and said shyly.

"Ah? That dead face would say such a thing, incredible!" Linglong was very surprised. Although this seems to be another "pie in the sky", it should be true this time...

Gargamel's face turned redder under Linglong's teasing, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Fortunately, Mu You helped her out and talked about business.

"This time I came to you because I actually have something to consult." Mu You said.

"What is it?" Gargamel also became serious.

Mu You pinched a blue caterpillar from his pocket and put it in his palm: "This child has been born for a while. I have also fed it a lot of energy. There were several times when it seemed to have signs of molting, but it failed in the end and always maintained the form of a caterpillar. Do you think there is something wrong?"

This little guy has a good appetite. Every day, he eats and sleeps, wakes up and plays for a while, and then eats again. He looks carefree, but Mu You, as its binder, can still feel some of its state changes. It seems that an invisible yoke has been imposed on her body, which is always hindering her next growth.

The caterpillar was pulled out by Mu You while sleeping. She yawned lazily. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was in an unfamiliar environment. She was shocked and subconsciously crawled back to his shoulder along Mu You's arm.

However, just after crawling out a few centimeters, she was grabbed by another hand and sent to a face of a person wearing glasses.

The caterpillar was immediately scared and shrank in the corner of the palm of his hand, trembling with fear.

Gargamel extended his fingers and stroked the caterpillar for a few times. He didn't know what technique he used, but soon the caterpillar relaxed.

Gargamel checked the caterpillar's condition and pondered: "I have never seen this situation. All fairy larvae will directly transform into fairy forms in a very short period of time after they are born... But I heard from Master Olmedo that it is best for fairies to stay near the bitter mother tree for a period of time after they are born. The energy of the mother tree can help fairies complete their early growth."

Gargamel pushed his glasses and looked at Mu You and said: "It should be because it was taken to the Star Spirit Realm in the form of an egg, too far away from the mother tree, so it has been unable to complete the process of turning into a butterfly."

"So it needs to be sent back to the mother tree and taken back after it evolves?" Mu You frowned and asked.

Gargamel thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not sure, because the mother tree has withered... The fairies born at the beginning of this era all grew up during the period when the bitter mother tree was rejuvenated, and then the mother tree withered again. Until now, no fairies have been born, so I don't know if the current mother tree can still help the fairies evolve."

"So, as long as the mother tree is rejuvenated once more, it will be fine, right?" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

The bitter mother tree is actually the tail of the snake. Whether it restores energy depends on the will of the snake, but there are two situations in which it can be passively rejuvenated.

The first is when the snake falls into a long sleep, and the second is when the snake is freed from the sealed spear and regains its strength.

And right now, there is a ready-made opportunity for rejuvenation.

Then Mu You explained to Gargamel what they were going to do in the bitter garden and invited Gargamel to go with them.

Next, he needs to enter the sealed barrier, while Linglong needs to operate the Qilin arm to pull out the holy spear. Then someone needs to take the caterpillar to the place where the bitter mother tree grows to help it complete its evolution. Gargamel, who once served as an apprentice to Olmedo for a period of time, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Gargamel agreed without much consideration.

Next, Gargamel went back to prepare some items, and the three of them went directly to the Bitter Forest and opened the entrance to the Bitter Garden in the depths of the forest.

At the same time, the herbalist and the night watchman have also arrived at the Tower of the Brave and are landing on the top of the tower.

Since both of them have passed the level, they don't need to pass it one by one, and can directly step on the stairs to the top of the tower.

Half an hour later, the two came to the passage above the top of the tower and saw the soul-guiding lamp at the end of the passage.

In front of the blue hanging lamp, a faint light came, which was the entrance to the real world. As long as they passed the barrier in front, they could reach the real world.

"Lucky, I didn't encounter any monsters. I thought I had to fight all the way here..." The night watchman exclaimed.

"I guess all the mirage creatures were sent to the front line to transport mirage, and the core area was empty." The herbalist said, walked to the exit, and stuck his head out to look out.

The outside world was still shrouded in thick fog. The white fog and mirage were mixed together, resulting in extremely low visibility. Basically, only the scene within a dozen meters could be seen.

And within a radius of ten meters around, all you could see were grass stems more than ten meters high and huge pieces of "gravel".

"This scene is the same as described in the game. It doesn't look like a mirage, but a real scene." The herbalist made a judgment.

The lamp god mentioned before that the mirage tapir will only cause the scene to be disordered in the mirage when it is sleeping or eating.

When the tapir is awake, mirages generally do not appear, especially when it first arrives in a new area. The tapir also needs to observe and determine the surrounding situation first, and will not casually create mirages to affect its judgment.

Then the two carefully walked out of the exit, fully alert to the surrounding fog.

Although they did not encounter mirage creatures, the real world itself is full of dangers. Now they are almost the weakest existence in this world. Some large creatures may emerge from the fog at any time to swallow them.

"By the way, are we the first players to enter the real world directly in real body?" The night watchman made small talk to dilute some of the tense atmosphere.

Because the island at the exit has been completely explored by players and confirmed that there are no giants, they dared to come out directly in the flesh.

"Don't talk, your every move now is under the control of the tapir..." The herbalist shook his head, took out the twin stones from his arms, and carved the words "reached the exit, ready to act" on it.

"So what? I don't believe it can understand Chinese!"

"..."

"By the way, Xiao Ba, are you ready? It's your turn soon, don't sleep..."

"Look, this guy knew we were coming, but he didn't even send a mirage creature to intercept us. It's obvious that he doesn't take us seriously at all."

"How can this be tolerated? Xiao Ba, this is naked contempt. I will give it a surprise when we meet later..."

"Xiao Ba? Are you talking, Xiao Ba?"

...

In the stand-up comedy of the night watchman, the two quickly approached the giant lake in the center of the island.

Because of the visibility, the two walked all the way to the lake, and only then could they see clearly that there was no lake nearby, and the water in the entire lake had disappeared.

A huge 'elephant trunk' rose into the sky, sank into the clouds above, and occupied the entire lake surface.

This is obviously the nose of the mirage tapir. This huge trunk is so huge that you can't see the edge. The surface is full of countless "holes", which seem to be air holes for breathing. At this moment, each air hole is constantly spewing out mirage gas.

"Woo..."

The two stood on the shore for a while, and suddenly a distant low hum sounded in the sky, as if it came from the roar of the sky.

At the same time, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the elephant's trunk in front of them, and a huge eye emerged from the crack and stared directly at the two.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, enveloped by an indescribable pressure, and they only felt trembling in their hearts and dared not breathe, because they had truly felt the murderous intent contained in this pressure. Obviously, the mirage tapir had already noticed their hostility and regarded this as a provocation.

There was no need for the mirage tapir to take action next. The rapidly increasing pressure alone was enough to crush them at any time.

"Hi, Mirage Tapir, hello..."

After adapting for a few seconds, the night watchman forced out a smile, waved his shaking hands, and spoke in the Star Spirit Language: "Don't get excited yet, I brought an old friend to see you, I believe you will be very happy to meet each other..."

At the same time, he called the snake frantically in his heart.

"Xiao Ba, wake up, it's your turn, if you don't come out, it's really over, one corpse and two lives..."
