Chapter 1278 Gretel, Why Don’t You Take Me with You! (ScarletC Will Be Rewarded with More Rewards)

The next day, Grete and Cerela followed Elder Fahim, one foot high and one foot low, towards the World Tree.

It’s not that the ground is rough. The ground is not rough at all, fertile and flat, with lush grass. The problem is, as we walk along, the ground is full of huge tree roots, tree roots, tree roots...

The lowest raised ground is as high as a fist, the larger ones are as high as the threshold, and the higher ones are knee high, half a person high, chest high, as high as one person...

Normal people would walk here and get lost. Even if he was not lost, Grete looked up and around, and a shadow flashed in his field of vision from time to time:

The elf ranger guarding the World Tree appeared, nodded respectfully to Elder Fahim, then jumped up silently and disappeared behind the tree wall. They walked so easily...

Gretel sighed helplessly. Look at yourself with one foot higher and one foot lower, and then look at Cerela. The silver dragon girl is jumping up and down and can't walk more nimble.

Gretel felt that if it wasn't for him to keep up, Cerela could simply jump from one tree to another.

"Is it true that you can't ride the Phantom Pony?"

Although Grete was not out of breath, he walked with a sad face. In front of him, Elder Fahim's white hair was flying, and he was walking energetically. I don't know how much more relaxed he was. Hearing Gretel's question, he turned around and smiled:

"After all, we are going to see the World Tree, so we should be a little more religious. We don't need mounts here. - Well, I'm really tired from walking. Can you try the transformation technique? If you turn into an animal and move in the woods, maybe Is it more convenient than humans?”

Alright alright. This is the same principle as those who "are not allowed to drive into such and such places" and "civilian officials dismount their sedan chairs and military generals dismount their horses." Gretel sighed silently and began to use the transformation technique:

Three, two, one!

Get down on all fours!

A black bear with an ordinary body shape, ordinary coat color, and looked ordinary everywhere. He raised his head and looked around, sniffed hard, and started running with a bang. Elder Fahim looked back and let out a long sigh:

"Is it deformed into a bear shape? When running in the forest, leopards are actually more agile. It is inconvenient to jump and climb when deformed into a bear shape..."

Grete the Bear looked up at him, said nothing, and continued on his way. leopard?

What leopard?

If I don't become a leopard, is it because I don't want to change?

"How about giving it a try?" Cerela turned back to him, squatted down, and looked directly into his eyes:

"Don't jump, just climb. Should you... give it a try? Or... can I change with you?"

Light and shadow change. With a flick of the brush, Cerela shrank and crawled, turning into a leopard with snow-white fur, covered with black rings and spots. It looked somewhat similar to the snow leopard on the Black Gate Peninsula.

The thick and long tail swung twice, the tip of the tail turned around, and waved twice in front of him:

"Ouch~~~"

Come chase me!

Come chase me!

The snow leopard jumped lightly onto the wall of tree roots on the right that was as tall as a person, and lay down comfortably. Grete looked up at Cerela the Snow Leopard and sighed:

Okay, let me try...

Light and shadow change. Gretel's proficiency in transfiguration was not enough to transform directly from bear form into leopard form. He could only change back into human form first, and then initiate the leopard form transformation.

Thanks to Ashe Yuesong, Gretel's leopard transformation foundation was still quite solid, and after three breaths, he successfully transformed into a leopard. Back up, gather momentum, run up, take off——

"Ouch~~~"

I jumped over my head, failed to stabilize on the wall, and fell directly to the opposite side...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Ouch, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Snow leopard Cerela laughed loudly. Grete lay on the ground, curled up into a ball, covered his head with his tail, and didn't want to raise his head.

Elder Fahim looked at the two little guys helplessly and waited patiently for a moment before continuing to lead them forward. After turning into a leopard, Gretel's traveling speed was not much better, or even a little worse:

"Snapped!"

Failed to climb and fell from a tree wall...

"Snapped!"

Lost his balance and fell from the tree wall...

"Afraid!"

The jump failed and fell from the top of the tree wall to the other side...

Even though Elder Fahim has experienced nearly a thousand years, he has seen countless elves with extraordinary talents, ordinary talents, and clumsy talents, and he still has the urge to sigh.

As for the others, around the tree wall, among the dense leaves, the laughter of the elf rangers could be faintly heard, one after another...

Finally, Grete sat down on the ground, raised his paws and looked at it, never wanting to leave again. Cerela ran back briskly, rubbed his tail with her tail, and then nudged his head with her head:

"Ouch?"

There was a flash of light and shadow, and Gretel returned to his human form. This time, he did not stand up immediately and follow Elder Fahim. Instead, he pressed the nearest tree root with his backhand and gently closed his eyes.

"Aww? Aww? Aww..."

Cerira lay down quietly. The snow leopard's slender body curved in an arc, and its long tail circled into another arc, tightly protecting Gretel.

Gretel has already unleashed his mental power. Follow the thin root at hand, up to the thicker rhizome, and all the way to the main root. Gently and leisurely, he said hello to the ancient tree:

"Hello?"

"伱...Okay..."

After a communication that could not be felt by others and was only carried out between Grete and the ancient tree, a green vine suddenly hung down from above the head. With a swipe, he wrapped his arms around Grete's waist.

"Ouch!"

Serila flew up, stretched out her claws, and her ten nails flashed with cold light, trying to cut off the vine. She had just jumped to a little more than one meter when a strong hand pressed on her shoulder and pushed her down:

"Ah, little girl, don't worry." Elder Fahim suddenly came back and dragged Serila back to the ground. He raised his head slightly and said with a smile:

"This little Gretel probably doesn't want to walk anymore, so he asked the ancient tree to send him off... I really didn't expect that he could learn such a lazy method without a teacher..."

Grete remained sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and was wrapped around his waist by the cane and hoisted into the air. Back, back, back, back, the big pendulum swings forward twice like a pendulum.

Swinging to the farthest point, another rattan dropped out of thin air, picked up Gretel, and continued to throw him forward...

From all directions, the faint laughter disappeared. Obviously, the elf rangers hiding in the jungle were all stunned:

How could a little cub like this, who couldn't walk well and even fell down when running like a leopard, have the ability to communicate with the ancient tree and let the ancient tree personally take action to send him forward!

"Wow! Why don't you take me with you!"

Serila even shouted out her voice. She did not return to her human form, she kicked off her hind legs, straightened her body, and shot out like an arrow. There was a faint scream in the air, and it came first, and rushed shoulder to shoulder with Gretel...

"Oh... little kid..."

Elder Fahim shook his head and sighed. Holding the wooden stick in his hand, his body swayed and turned into a light swift, rising up.

The three people, or rather an elf, a dragon, and a half-elf, each had their own methods, and soon arrived under the World Tree.

During Grete's last journey, a vine parasitic on the World Tree stretched out its branches, personally picked him up next to the World Tree, and placed him on a huge horizontal branch.

Serira looked up, then took out her claws to climb the tree. After thinking about it, she changed back to her human form and spread her wings...

Flying up to the tree in one breath, Gretel was already comfortable and sitting in a tree nest.

The tree nest is a natural platform formed between the horizontal branches and the main trunk. At the joint, the bark opens slightly, forming a gap with the main trunk - just this gap is enough for two people to walk in side by side.

Under the feet, the horizontal branches are concave with a comfortable arc, and the edges are polished and smooth. I don’t know how many people have sat on them.

Above the tree nest, there is also a cluster of wood ganoderma. The wooden purple-red mushroom umbrellas spread out flatly, adding a roof to the tree nest.

Gretel hugged his knees and leaned against the tree bark, leaning against the tree nest. Seeing Serila coming over, he moved to the side to make room for her:

"Come on, come on, sit here! - Ah, elder..."

"Elders have their own place." Elder Fahim smiled at them, jumped up slightly, and disappeared among the branches and leaves. There are countless people walking, working, and guarding on such a huge world tree. How can it still lack a place for him to stay?

Go away, bring the person here, his mission will be completed, and he will not be here to interfere with the children's affairs...

Gretel waved to the elder and smiled sheepishly at Cerela: If he wasn't really tired from the rush, he wouldn't want to take advantage of the situation.

Cerela didn't care about this, she opened her eyes wide, touched the branches under her body, and then touched the bark next to her:

"Is this the World Tree? It's so big! - Is this place, here, just a little gap between the bark and the trunk? So how big is this World Tree? Three kilometers high? Five kilometers high? How should I talk to him? ?”

"Wait a minute, let me try to communicate with him first." Grete smiled sheepishly. Every time at this time, Cerela would accompany him, watch him meditate, watch him sleep, and protect him without blinking an eye.

From the beginning of their acquaintance until now, as long as Cerela is by his side, he can safely meditate without being disturbed or hurt...

"I'll try to talk to him first. As for whether World Tree can talk and whether it can talk to you, I have to ask... If that doesn't work, what if he says something and I translate it?"

"Well! You talk to him first!"

Cerira nodded vigorously. Move two steps outside and sit in front of Grete, blocking the entrance to the tree nest. He took out a fruit from somewhere and bit into it with a "click" sound, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Hey...Celera, eating fruits on the World Tree won't make it unhappy...

Grete sank into meditation with this thought. Soon, a grand and distant voice came from the consciousness:

"Little guy, are you... okay?"
