Genshin's Wish

Chapter 147: Unexpected Challenge

After escaping the Lost Ruins, Bennett and Mika decide to head to a nearby forest to rest and recuperate. The forest is said to be filled with magical creatures and herbs, making it a favorite place for adventurers to replenish their resources.

They went deep into the forest and found a clear stream to set up a simple camp. Bennett used his bow and arrow to catch some small animals for food, while Mika searched for herbs and magic materials in the forest. Here, they planned to spend a peaceful night and prepare for the next adventure.

However, just as night fell, they encountered an unexpected challenge: a group of mysterious forest elves suddenly appeared in front of them, accusing Bennett and Mika of trespassing on their territory and announcing that they would be expelled.

Bennett and Mika were very surprised. They didn't realize they had strayed into the elves' territory. They tried to explain their situation, but the elves didn't accept their explanation and started to attack them. Bennett and Mika had to draw their weapons and prepare to defend themselves.

Although the elves are very agile and nimble, Bennett and Mika are no pushovers. With Bennett's swordsmanship and agility, and Mika's magical support, they successfully repelled wave after wave of elf attacks.

During the battle, Bennett and Mika found that the elves did not really want to hurt them, but were just protecting their homes. They decided to change their strategy and try to communicate with the elves. They put down their weapons, indicating that they had no ill intentions and just accidentally broke into the forest.

The elves finally stopped attacking, but remained vigilant. Bennett and Mika patiently explained their purpose and promised not to cause any harm to the forest. After a period of stalemate, the elves finally relaxed their vigilance and agreed to let them continue to move forward in the forest.

Bennett and Mika thanked the elves gratefully and promised to protect the forest in the future in return for the elves' tolerance. They continued to explore the forest, looking for treasures and secrets that might be hidden here.

Chapter 148: Secrets in the Forest

With the permission of the forest elves, Bennett and Mika continued to explore the forest. They found that the forest was not as peaceful as they had initially imagined, and there were many secrets and dangers hidden here.

They followed a trail and came to an ancient stone tablet covered by dense vines. The tablet was engraved with ancient words they did not recognize. Mika speculated that it might be an ancient rune, and deciphering it might reveal a secret in the forest.

Bennett and Mika decided to study these runes. Mika used his knowledge and compared them with the ancient scrolls to start translating the runes. After a period of hard work, he finally deciphered the meaning of the runes.

These runes reveal the location of an ancient ruin hidden in the forest. It is said that the ruins are part of an ancient civilization and may contain powerful magical items and valuable knowledge. However, the location of the ruins is very secret and can only be found by passing a series of trials.

Bennett and Mika decided to accept the challenge. They began to look for clues in the ruins, following the guidance provided by the runes. They solved puzzles one by one, passed a series of tests, and finally found a cave hidden deep in the forest.

They entered the cave and found a huge underground cavity. The walls of the cavity were covered with ancient murals showing the life and magic of that ancient civilization. In the center of the cavity, they found a stone platform with an ancient book and a mysterious magic item on it.

Bennett and Mika approached the stone platform cautiously. Mika picked up the book and found that it was a book about ancient magic. Bennett picked up the magic item, which looked like a key.

Just then, the cave began to tremble and cracks appeared in the ground. Bennett and Mika realized that they had to leave here as soon as possible. They quickly put the books and magic items into their backpacks and quickly returned along the way they came.

Back in the safety of the forest, Bennett and Mika studied the tome they had brought with them. They discovered that the book contained some very powerful magic, as well as how to use a mysterious magical item. They decided to treasure this knowledge and use it carefully in future adventures.

The adventure story of Bennett and Mika continues, and they move towards the next unknown destination with their newly acquired magical knowledge and precious treasures. They know that every adventure will bring them new challenges and growth, and they are ready to meet everything.
