Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

While the exploration team was fighting hard, the four of them quietly moved along the edge towards the main entrance of the Moon Hall.

Although the process went smoothly, they still encountered unavoidable dangers on the last stretch of the road near the finish line.

On the path they must pass, there are three statues of sleeping elves standing quietly.

There is no way around it.

"Will we be discovered if we follow the previous method?" Ying asked nervously again.

After sneaking became uncomfortable to a certain extent, she had even begun to get used to the feeling of suffocation.

"Why don't you let me sneak directly to the main gate next?" Chu Yu suggested in a low voice.

"No." Shi Zhimeng refused without hesitation.

Although shadow stealth seems to be extremely concealed and one can hide in the shadows without being seen by others, it is only limited to stealth against people.

For creatures in the secret realm, they have little reliance on eyes, and rely on an organ that can sense magic to distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, their sensitivity to magic is several times stronger than that of adventurers.

In their perception, there is no difference between flying past and sneaking past.

As long as it is a short-distance and fast movement, the magic power will dissipate quickly and will not attract the attention of the creatures in the secret realm.

But moving over long distances, and moving towards the main gate, with residual magic power that did not have time to dissipate along the way, was no different from walking openly in front of the creatures in the secret realm.

"Don't be impatient. There is no cover near the main gate. Once you are noticed, it's all over."

"Okay." Chu Yu nodded obediently.

But her ideas are certainly worth considering.

Passing by three pillar statues, it was too dangerous to take people with them. After a brief discussion, they decided to let Chu Yu sneak to the last hiding place not far away.

If those statues don't wake up, Shizhi Meng will take the two descendants over with him.

If they wake up... Chu Yu will lead them away first, and let the other three move to the next hiding place, and then...

……

……

The first rain is ready.

In an instant, her figure disappeared beneath the ground.

The three of them waited quietly until the trail of the first rain's magic passed by the elf statues along the way and reached the hiding place on the other side.

They waited silently until the magic along the way dissipated.

"are you awake?"

"It seems not."

"Aren't you awake?"

"Probably."

The three elf statues still stood quietly under the moonlight, without any movement.

Chase after victory.

With the help of wind magic, Tokieda carried Ivy on his back and held Hotaru in front of him, briefly gathering strength.

But, just before she was about to sprint, Ivy caught a glimpse of... the moment when the statue's eyes moved.

“Wait! It’s fake…!” Ivy immediately stopped him.

But she was still a step slow.

Tokizhi Meng flew out at a very fast speed, but the sleeping statue elf was faster than her! As if it had calculated her path accurately, the statue elf crashed into her -

“So fast?!” Tokie Meng’s pupils shrank suddenly.

It was so fast that she could hardly see its movements before the statue elf was already within reach of her!

There was no time to escape.

"Clang—" Ivi drew out his dagger and took the attack from the statue elf's claws. The blade made a hard sound.

However, the next moment, she was knocked away by the remaining force because of the huge power gap!

"Avi?!"

“Be careful—!!”

Ivy rolled twice on the ground, then immediately regained her balance and got up.

The moment she raised her head, she realized the crisis before her.

The palace guards are about to open their eyes——

She was knocked out of the cover and there was no cover around her!

"It's too late." The desperate and terrified expressions of the companions seemed to say this.

……

Just like a revolving lantern before exiting, in that short period of less than a second, everything seemed to slow down.

Ivy saw Tokieda Yume and Hotaru Yamato hiding behind cover with distressed expressions, saw the statue elf rushing towards her, saw Hatsuyu who was about to escape into the shadows, and... saw the palace guard with his eyes slightly open.

That's too late.

Her mind was telling her the same thing.

Ivy stretched one hand forward and used the other hand like a pistol, with the fingertips pointed at her head.

'——'

The palace guard opened his dazzling gemstone eyes, and invisible waves of magic appeared in the air. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the night, and everything turned into metal wherever he looked.

"She blocked it?" Chu Yu saw an unbelievable scene, "...Why?"

Ying Youyou's originally desperate face was suddenly filled with joy, as if she was the one who survived the disaster.

Only Shi Zhimeng frowned slightly and recognized the identity of the person in front of him: "She is..."

……

Ivy understood the situation as soon as he opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to form a defensive barrier, blocking the visual attack that solidified everything.

Below [Level 4], the defensive barrier cannot last even a second when facing the sight of the palace guards.

At this moment, she was at [Level 5], resisting the powerful visual attack, and cracks slowly appeared in the solid defense barrier.

But it's totally enough.

The palace guard closed his eyes again. 'Evie' stood there unharmed, her expression dead. She glanced at the statue elf approaching her, holding a dagger to meet the enemy.

The tassel on the hilt flashed slightly with the magic power, and the short knife instantly turned into a magical long sword.

The statue elf attacked in front of her, flapping its wings and claws, and she swung in the air several times, the long sword and claws resisting and colliding, each time making a deafening sound. Then, she staggered her feet and turned lightly. With the sound of the sharp wind, the long sword swung out a phantom sword flower, launching a powerful counterattack against the statue elf!

The statue elf's claws were successfully cut off!

And the next moment, the fire magic coming from afar burned through the statue elf's head!

Ivy turned his head and met Wan Yexi's eyes, who was slightly stunned.

Chu Yu jumped out from the shadows. She held Ivy's shoulders and took her underground without wasting a moment, moving to the final hiding place.

"Avi, I'm so glad you're okay!" Ying rushed forward again and hugged Ivi tightly.

However, the latter remained stiff and unmoved.

Ying let go of her again with some trepidation, thinking that she was injured somewhere.

Then, she met Ivy's cold gaze.

The look in his eyes was extremely strange, and at this moment it even contained an illusion of hostility... and murderous intent.

Tokieda Meng stood between the two of them.

"Hurry up." said Shi Zhimeng.

It seemed like he was urging them to make progress, or it seemed like he was urging... someone.

Ivy retracted his gaze, gathered magic power on his fingertips, and aimed it at his forehead.
