Chapter 310 Illusionary Moon Reef
Chapter 310 Illusionary Moon Reef
Yun Feng sat to the side, quietly watching the two of them.
At this moment, he wasn't thinking about playing.
After Xiaoshu was pulled away by Yuan Xiao to find Qianqian and Xiaobai, Yun Feng sat alone for a while before getting up and quietly finding Zehui and Yumo.
The three people closed the door tightly in the secret room.
"The Illusionary Moon Reef is about to appear," Yun Feng said bluntly.
Zehui and Yumo exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious. He and Yunfeng understood each other perfectly, immediately realizing what he was thinking: "Such a rare opportunity, it will also be the perfect hiding place."
“You’re right,” Yun Feng said with certainty. “The Illusionary Moon Reef appears only once every ten years, and for such a short time. Once you get on the island, the reef will disappear after that time, and no one will be able to find it again within the next ten years. If someone wants to hide, that’s the perfect place.”
Yu Mo understood what the two of them meant.
He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "But Illusion Moon Reef should be considered part of the Abyss of Hopeless territory. It would be very dangerous for ordinary orcs to go there. Besides, we need to leave people in Tiger Lion City to protect Xiao Xiao and the children."
Zehui nodded: "Yu Mo is right. We can't all go."
Yu Mo was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll go instead."
Yun Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright. Then Xiao Shu and I will go together too."
Zehui looked at the two of them: "Alright then, Aoshuang, Chi Miao, and I will wait for you at home. But..."
He paused, his expression grave: "I think we should also tell Di Lin about this."
Yu Mo nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After reaching an agreement, the three of them went to make their own preparations.
The next few days, Xiaoshu had a wonderful time in Tiger Lion City.
In the early morning, he ran wildly in the garden with Qianqian and Xiaobai, laughing louder than anyone else.
In the morning, he helped Yuan Xiao tend the vegetable garden. Although he often mistook weeds for seedlings and pulled out seedlings for weeds, which made Yuan Xiao both amused and exasperated, he learned diligently and was able to distinguish them in just two days.
In the afternoon, he would either pester Zehui to teach him a couple of moves, or squat in Bizhi's herb garden and listen to her talk about the effects of various herbs.
Bizhi discovered that Xiaoshu had a natural affinity for plants; he understood many medicinal properties immediately and could even explain some special uses that she herself did not know.
Zehui also doted on him, and would cook him all sorts of delicious meals.
The little tree's cheeks were always bulging, and its eyes were squinted into slits with contentment.
He would also help chop wood and carry water, humming a little tune he had learned in the forest, light and carefree.
At night, everyone would sit around in the courtyard, grilling meat and telling stories.
The little tree's forest stories were the most popular. He talked about dancing, glowing mushrooms, ancient trees that secretly moved at night, and silver thread grass that could predict the weather...
Everyone was completely engrossed in listening.
Little White especially loves to stick to the little tree, often perching on its shoulder, pecking at its green hair, and chattering away.
Not only could the little tree understand, it also seriously "translated": "Little White said that the berries in the eastern valley are almost ripe and very sweet. He will take us to pick them in a couple of days."
Yuan Xiao felt that such simple and happy days were the best.
Days passed by, and finally the night of the full moon arrived.
That evening, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Yuan Xiao stood at the castle gate, looking at Yun Feng and Yu Mo who were all ready to go. Her heart was pounding like a rabbit.
"Where's Xiaoshu?" She couldn't help but ask when she didn't see anyone around.
"Sister, I'm here."
In front of everyone, Yun Feng kissed Xiao Xiao hard: "Don't worry about us, just take care of yourself."
"Be careful," she said, her voice trembling as she held Yunfeng's hand. "Don't fight back if you encounter danger. Come back soon."
Yun Feng grasped her hand in return, his warm palm carrying a reassuring strength: "Don't worry, we're just going to take a look, we'll be back soon."
Yu Mo nodded to her, his eyes showing his usual indifference, but his heart was burning with warmth.
The little tree carried a bulging little bundle on its back, inside which were its strange and wonderful seeds.
He flashed a big smile at Yuan Xiao and Qianqian: "When we come back, we'll bring you the most beautiful flowers from Illusion Moon Reef!"
Her eyes were a little red, and she hugged Xiaoshu tightly around the waist: "Brother Xiaoshu, you must be careful. Stay with Daddy Yunfeng and Uncle Yumo, and don't run around."
"Okay!" Little Tree ruffled her hair.
Finally, the three turned around, their figures gradually disappearing into the vast twilight. Yuan Xiao stood at the door, gazing at the direction they had vanished for a long time, until Ze Hui's warm hand rested on her shoulder.
“Go back,” Zehui said calmly. “Trust them.”
Yuan Xiao nodded, took one last look at the gradually clearing full moon on the horizon, and silently prayed in her heart.
As night fell completely, the full moon hung high in the sky, casting its gentle light upon the sea.
Somewhere on the edge of the Abyss of Despair, a thick fog rose from the sea without warning, churning and gathering, gradually forming a massive wall of fog.
Within the fog wall, a hazy halo of light peeked out, accompanied by a faint, ethereal singing voice.
Before long, the fog wall slowly parted to both sides, and an island shrouded in soft moonlight quietly emerged from the mist.
The island is characterized by its rugged mountains and lush forests, dotted with countless luminous plants, creating a dreamlike landscape.
The Phantom Moon Reef, a magical place that appears only once every ten years, has arrived as scheduled.
The island was still deserted at this time.
The moonlight shines quietly on this mysterious land, awaiting tonight's visitors.
Yunfeng, Yumo, and Xiaoshu emerged from behind the hidden reefs, waded through the shallows, and stepped onto the island's damp sand.
The fog behind them silently closed in after they landed on the island, cutting off their way back.
The island was unusually quiet, save for the ethereal singing that was everywhere, yet whose origin was unknown.
The wind rustled through the leaves and flowers.
The air was filled with a rich, sweet floral fragrance that was initially delightful but, after a while, caused a slight dizziness.
"Be careful," Yun Feng immediately warned.
The three of them took out the calming powder and applied it under their noses. The spicy and cool aroma immediately dispelled the drowsiness caused by the sweetness.
They cautiously ventured deeper into the island along a path dimly illuminated by glowing moss.
Every sight along the way was spectacular.
There are shrubs with leaves as clear as blue crystals, giant violets with petals swaying gently to the sound of singing, and vines with lantern-like glowing fruits hanging down.
The sapling stared intently, trying several times to reach out and touch it, but Yunfeng stopped it with a look each time.
"The more beautiful, the more dangerous," Yun Feng whispered.
As they were talking, a patch of bright red, incredibly fragrant berries appeared around the corner of the path ahead...
