I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

As soon as Pei Xiang left the witch Maggie's house, the door behind her was slammed shut by the owner with a "bang".

Such a rude closing action made the whole purple-green hut tremble with a "crack, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" The pumpkin doorbell hanging at the door was startled, and the two nimble monster eyes "cracked" It fell on the stone steps and rolled down the slope into the grass.

Pei Xiang took a small fish lantern and looked into the grass, and found that the two monster eyes were no longer as lively as they were when receiving visitors before, but instead huddled together and shivered.Not far from them, a red-eyed crow cast a huge black shadow, greedily watching the supper in the grass.

"Please save us, kind girl. Our brothers will definitely repay you." The monster eyes called out to Pei Xiang for help.

Pei Xiang sent the little fish lamp forward, trying to use the light to drive away the crow that was already lowering its head to eat, but only got a mocking "Ga——".

"Kind and beautiful girl, please help us!" The monster whose eyes were pecked cried out for help.

Pei Xiang tilted his head and thought for a while, holding up the small fish lantern and tentatively raised his foot towards the grass.

At this moment, the little fish lamp suddenly became brighter, and a gentle force emerged from the direction of the fish's mouth, stopping Pei Xiang's steps in time, as if he didn't want her to get close to the monster's eyes and the crow.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang quickly retracted his feet and stood up again, and shrugged his shoulders regretfully looking at the eyes of the monster in the grass, then walked down the steps without hesitation and left.

She gave up too quickly, and the back view of her leaving was too calm. It can be seen that the previous action of hesitating to rescue was definitely a fake.Both the monster eyes and the red-eyed crow froze for a moment, as if they didn't realize what happened.

Waiting until Pei Xiang was about to walk out of the courtyard, behind her, the eyes of the pleading monster suddenly jumped up screaming, cursing and chattering loudly, and there were a few monster dialects mixed in the long series of swear words.

The crow also responded with a "quack", yelling and scolding Pei Xiang's hard heart along with the monster's eyes.

As a mermaid, Pei Xiang could naturally understand the language of these magical species, but she walked forward without looking back, neither angry nor ashamed.She tightly held the small fish lantern that d'Artagnan gave her, and walked quickly in the night, even ignoring the pain under her feet.

After Pei Xiang's figure completely disappeared in the dark forest, the courtyard of the witch Maggie gradually became quiet.

The eyes of the two monsters that fell into the grass rolled a few times, and then deftly flew back to the pumpkin doorbell, resting lazily.The red-eyed crow spread its wings and slapped it violently, turning into a wisp of black smoke and slowly dissipating.

Inside the house, the red-haired witch who was staring coldly at the scene outside the door shook her head in disappointment.

She thought to herself, if the dumb girl was really soft to save the monster's eyes, or if she turned her head and lingered for a while, she would definitely be hurt by the monsters that appeared at midnight.At that time, if I show up "in time" to save people, I might be able to claim that precious seed back as a reward, but it's a pity...

On the other side, under the guidance and protection of Xiaoyu Lantern, Pei Xiang passed through the mysterious wilderness in the night safely and smoothly, and arrived in the willow forest protected by General d'Artagnan.

As soon as he stepped into this paradise, Xiaoyudeng, who accompanied and protected Pei Xiang for the entire journey, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The crystal-like scales of the fish gradually dimmed, and the originally chubby golden fish body gradually shrank and shortened, and finally turned into a Small dark gray dried fish.

Pei Xiang smiled and put the dried fish into his pocket, and looked up at the magnificent and fantastic scenery around him.

This was the first time she had watched the plants and trees in the willow grove in the middle of the night.The glowing emerald green striped mushrooms, the dancing silver willow branches without wind, the family of blue rabbits going out for dinner, and the rainbow chafers singing softly... It really is completely different from the daytime.

Pei Xiang thought that after leaving the willow forest, he probably entered a territory that completely belonged to humans.

An invisible line divides the human world and the magical world, but it is not so clear and absolute.Human beings can venture into magical and mysterious lands, and creatures with extraordinary powers can also survive and move in the human world.The two worlds are constantly in dispute but can coexist harmoniously. For tens of thousands of years, intelligent creatures have jointly built this unique magical continent.

Just when Pei Xiang was curiously admiring all the beautiful things in the willow forest, a sudden disaster instantly broke the peaceful and warm atmosphere in the forest.

The moon was covered by dark clouds, and the silver willow tree gave the first warning, and the news of the enemy's sneak attack soon spread throughout the forest.

The patriarch of the Blue Rabbit family ordered the family members to hide and hide, but at the same time he did not forget to urge Pei Xiang to leave loudly.

"Beautiful guest of the honorable General d'Artagnan, please leave this willow forest and return to the human world. Go, go, the dangerous and terrible swamp monster is shamefully coming to attack the general while he is out fighting. Hey, hey~ He will destroy our homeland. Go, go, the swamp troll hates stepping on human territory, as long as you leave the willow forest, you will be safe, little human girl, please leave quickly!"

Pei Xiang hurriedly nodded his thanks, but he didn't heed the suggestion of the Blue Rabbit patriarch and quickly escaped from the willow forest.

She looked solemnly at the edge of the forest on the west side, sniffed the increasingly turbid smell of mud in the air, and thought to herself, it is indeed the so-called swamp monster.

Suddenly, an orange fire ignited in the night, the branches of the willows trembled more violently, and invisible sound waves spread in the forest one after another.Humans and ordinary animals and plants can't understand, but Pei Xiang and other magical creatures understand the warning of the willows:

"The swamp trolls come from the swamps in the west, they are dirty and smelly, they hate all beautiful and pure things, they hate flowers and fireflies, they hate clear water and warm sunshine.

"The swamp monsters will release a poisonous gas when they see lush flowers and trees. The gas will burn in mid-air and burn everything. When they encounter fresh animals and clean water, they will throw smell Stinking mud bombs that make everything stinky and dirty and cloudy..."

Pei Xiang listened to the introduction of the big willow trees to the enemy's bog monster, and ran towards the place where the fire was lit. At the same time, she blew the willow whistle that d'Artagnan gave her, hoping that the black cat general who was out to fight would be able to Know the dangers of your home as early as possible.

The farther you go west, the stronger the stench in the air and the higher the temperature.

When Pei Xiang rushed to the western edge of the woods, he saw two dark brown mud monsters four or five meters high fighting against a row of willow trees.The monster continuously released poisonous steam, flames and rotten mud, causing the flowers, plants and shrubs at the edge of the forest to be blackened.

The silvery willows waved their long and flexible branches angrily, enduring the stench and stickiness and wrapping around the body of the swamp monster, trying their best to block the enemy's progress;

All the magical animals that can fly are hovering over the head of the bog monster. Everyone flaps their wings hard to gather a small spiral wind like a tornado, blowing away the poisonous gas released by the bog bog, and drying the bog bog. skin.

Pei Xiang looked up and found a fiery red squirrel spitting fire on the backs of several larger flying birds.Those little fireballs were blown onto the swamp troll by the whirlwind, burning the swamp troll to be distraught.

With the concerted efforts of the residents in the willow grove, the two swamp monsters have not succeeded in breaking through the defense line on the west side of the forest.

However, with the passage of time, this group of magical animals and plants living in comfort gradually showed fatigue.Although they are still resisting tenaciously, the strength and weakness on the battlefield are obvious. It won't be long before two tall and strong swamp monsters will break into the willow forest.

Pei Xiang observed the battle situation and the surrounding situation for a while, raised his hand and patted the willow tree closest to her, then raised the hem of his skirt and drew a pair of sharp double swords from the side of his legs.As soon as she kicked her feet, she jumped up vertically with her strength, and rushed to the front of the defense line like an arrow.

After landing, a strand of silver wicker hung down to Pei Xiang's side, and gently touched her cheek, implying worry and dissuasion.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, and immediately gathered his inner strength to raise his energy and jumped up, flying to the canopy of the tree. Then, she stepped on the silver wicker in mid-air and quickly approached the roaring mud monster.

Hold your breath, draw your sword, swing diagonally, and move forward!

The murderous aura of the sword was fierce and sharp, and the sword light pierced the sky, and it went straight to the monster's arm and shoulder like a rainbow, and successfully cut off a thick arm more than two meters long in the blink of an eye.

The swamp monster that lost its arm was momentarily confused.After a while, he opened his mouth and howled, and the two black holes that were eyes stared straight at Pei Xiang who was standing upright on the wicker stick.

Pei Xiang held his breath and concentrated, ready to fight hard with the swamp monster.

It's just... After the injured swamp monster saw Pei Xiang's appearance clearly, he seemed to be disgusted too, and then without warning, he vomited out a large piece of smelly and sticky rot, and went directly to Pei Xiang. Paste on Pei Xiang's body.

——As long as it hits, Pei Xiang's whole body will be wrapped in this mouthful of rich-tasting muddy vomit...

At that moment, Pei Xiang felt that a string in his head was broken.

She no longer kept her strength, but mobilized all her lightness skills and all her internal strength, and used all her life's strength to leap backwards.

At the same time, the two swords in Pei Xiang's hands flew out at the same time, hitting the neck of the mud monster like a shooting star.

——Look in the mirror, which one of us is disgusting when we fall to the ground? !

In the blink of an eye, two sharp blades simultaneously cut the thick neck of the bog monster, one left and one right, and then, a huge head rolled down from the monster's tall body.

Pei Xiang, who narrowly escaped the vomit, was still in shock.

Panting heavily, she slumped down on a willow branch, looking at the muddy body that had lost its head in disbelief, thinking, can a swamp monster be killed so easily?

of course not!

Just when Pei Xiang was trying to regain his strength and a certain unlucky willow frantically shook off the mud monster vomit on its branches, the body of the monster whose arms and head had been cut off suddenly moved.

He stomped heavily, still cooperating with his companions to attack the enemy. At the same time, the mud that fell on the ground gathered again, quickly flew back to the body of the mud monster, and melted into the body of this mud monster, allowing it to regenerate in a short time. The arms and head grew back.

— Exactly the same as before the injury.

The recovered bog monster let out a loud shout, and smashed his fists at the birds in the sky. After venting his anger by waving his arms wildly for a while, he started to attack Pei Xiang and the willow tree behind her again.
