Chapter 9, Secret Realm

It is said that the annual average temperature in Antarctica is minus 25 degrees, and the lowest temperature can reach minus 89.2 degrees, and Antarctica is recognized as the coldest place in Blue Star.

The fairy has never been to Antarctica, and the coldest winter she has ever seen was only minus 7.8 degrees. That is a temperature that can make people jump even if they are wearing a thick down jacket, but now the fairy understands what true meaning is.

The ice is biting.

She walked in this biting cold for nearly 4 hours.

The road was covered with snow, and not even a dead branch could be seen, let alone a pine tree. Occasionally, I could see some skeletons buried deep in the snow with only a little bit of tip exposed. The fairies tried to break one to make a tool.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all. Instead, her hand was almost welded and frozen to the frame.

The temperature is minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, which is terrifying.

She felt that not only her body, but even her five senses were frozen, and everything she looked at was dazzling white. Her eyes began to swell and hurt slightly. She knew that if she didn't take precautions, she would very likely suffer from snow blindness.

disease.

So the fairy had to tear open the hem of her T-shirt and cover her eyes with a strip of cloth. She touched the last two red hazelnuts left in her pocket, thought about it, and stuffed one into her mouth.

Her body was so cold that she lost consciousness. The pungent taste of red hazelnuts did not spread to the tip of her tongue. Instead, she felt as if she had eaten an ice ball.

Obviously, the temperature here is colder than the place she stayed before, and the red hazelnuts have no effect. But what the fairy can't figure out is why she came here when she was obviously walking south.

If she continues walking, she will die in the snow sooner or later.

But...if she didn't leave, she would fall in the snow now.

Through the cloth strips, the fairy could only see a little hazy light, and she could only groping forward based on her feelings. Her legs were like two frozen weights, getting heavier and heavier. Finally, at the next step

, she fell forward heavily.

She didn't know that as she fell like this, the air in front of her would twist slightly, and then her body would miraculously disappear in place.

…

"Xian Ling, I have enrolled you in school. You will be called Wu Lingling from now on. Remember not to write your name wrong."

"I don't want to change my name." The skinny little girl opened her big dark eyes and looked stubbornly at the smiling woman in front of her.

"I've already told you that we don't need to adopt a child. It's not a biological child but we can't raise it properly. If you don't listen, you see, you won't even be allowed to change the name. When you get older and your wings become stronger, you will definitely not care about us anymore." Sit down.

The man on the sofa was holding a newspaper in his hand and speaking harsh words without raising his head.

"The fairies are very well-behaved, don't say that." The woman disagreed with the man's point of view.

"Be good? How can she be so good? She is only 6 years old and has so many thoughts. Have you forgotten that the last time Duoduo just hit her hard, she secretly threw chocolates into Duoduo's food bowl?" The man suddenly became angry and held his hand in his hand.

The newspaper fell on the coffee table.

Following his movements, the thin girl shivered in fright.

"How can a child understand? She just thinks that dogs can eat chocolate."

"Oh, she doesn't understand. Ask her if she understands."

"Wu Zhixi, are you going to quarrel with me?!" The woman's thick black eyebrows rose.

"Do I still need to quarrel with you? Everything will be fine if you stop quarreling with me. Do I need to quarrel with you? I just don't like you taking the child from home without my consent. I won't care about her tuition and living expenses in the future.

Anyway, you brought the child home, and you will be responsible for it from now on! I will not spend a penny for her!" The man stood up from the sofa.

"Wu Zhixi, do you have to be so cold-blooded?" The woman's face suddenly turned pale, and the man's words had clearly dealt a big blow to her.

"Yes! I told you, we don't need children! I don't care if you sit on the mahjong table all day long, but if you let me raise a child for nothing, there is no way!" The man stared calmly at the woman's pale face, the cold lenses reflecting it.

Give out a ruthless light.

The skinny little fairy wore an obviously ill-fitting dress and looked quietly at the two adoptive parents who were quarreling over her. Obviously this was not the first time. Ever since she came to this home, they seemed to be together all the time.

They are all quarreling.

She silently retreated to the corner and hugged her knees tightly. She suddenly missed the orphanage. At least, there was no such obvious malice there.

"Woof woof woof!!!" The Pekingese dog named Duoduo barked at the fairy again. Ever since the fairy came to this house and showed its first flinching look, it seemed to have found a dog.

Confident, thinking about how to drive her away anytime and anywhere.

The fairy looked at its body leaping toward him, and finally a panicked look appeared on its calm face.

Seeing that it was about to jump on her body, the fairy's mind inevitably flashed into the painful figure of being chased and bitten by wild dogs in order to protect herself. A heavy cold sweat began to appear on her face, and at the extreme

Under the fear, the fairy suddenly woke up.

Her heart was beating violently. It turned out to be a dream! No, it was not a dream. The Pekingese dog really bit her at that time, and she still has tooth marks on her hands.

The fairy couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and then she froze...she couldn't see it at all.

She forgot that she still had a piece of cloth covering her eyes, no! That's not the point. The point is, didn't she fall down in the snow and fainted before? According to common sense, she should be a cold corpse by now.

Already.

Thinking of this, the fairy quickly pulled away the cloth covering her eyes, and then she froze.

What she saw was not the pure white snow, her sight was occupied by towering giant trees, and she could even hear the crisp chirping of birds coming from around her.

The fairy tried to sit up, and all she could see was the humid forest. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched the tree beside her. It wasn't until the cold and rough texture reached her palm that she retracted it like a ghost.

When her feet really stepped on the wet soil, the fairy's heart beat uncontrollably and crazily, and she couldn't help but look up to the sky and scream.

All the grievances, all the fears, and all the confusion about the unknown were revealed at this moment.

Although I don’t know the reason, but damn, damn, she actually came out of the snowfield inexplicably!!!

Is it the system?

The fairy shouted excitedly in her heart, "Is it you? Is it you? Did you save me?"

The system finally gave the fairy a response, but...

[Congratulations to the host for entering the unknown secret realm, the system is being scanned]

[Report to the host that the system has insufficient spiritual power and cannot scan]

Secret realm?

The fairy chewed on this unfamiliar word that seemed to have been heard somewhere before, and his eyes fell into confusion.

But no matter what the secret realm is, if it can save her from the ice and snow, it is a good secret realm!

…

The fairy discovered that the trees around her seemed to be specially planted landscape trees. They were planted regularly on both sides of the trail, and their fiery red leaves blocked the sky, casting a mottled shadow.

Finally walking out of the narrow path, the field of vision suddenly widened, and a lake full of reed flowers appeared in front of the fairy.

I saw that the water of the lake was clear, and there were three or two wild ducks wandering in the lake. One of them saw the intruding fairy flapping its wings and burrowed into the reeds.

She walked to the lake like a fairy sleepwalking. It wasn't until the cold lake water slid down her throat and into her esophagus that she felt deeply that she was really still alive.

The fairy, who had not drunk any water all day, couldn't help but take up the water from the lake and drink it in big gulps. He didn't stop until his stomach was full. After drinking a handful of water to wash his face, the fairy looked at the reflection on the lake and started to be in a daze.

To be honest, the owner of the reflection is not very beautiful, but his skin as red as an apple due to the cold and his black and slightly curly hair add a touch of doll-like cuteness to him.

She has a pair of big round eyes like a cat, a small nose, and her lips are covered with dead skin due to lack of water, but if you look carefully, you can also see the outline of a heart.

There is no doubt that the person in the lake is a fairy, and she did not come back to life through other people's corpses. She really came to this world in a strange way.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

No matter how much water she drank, she didn't care if she was full. The fairy's belly sounded the song of hunger without any warning. Her eyes involuntarily turned from the reflection in the water to the two ducks paddling leisurely.

Their hair is so shiny and smooth, and the fat under the wiggling villi is so rich... Thinking of this, the fairies unconsciously secreted clear liquid from their mouths.

Countless ways of ducking appeared in her mind, but the next second she was strangled in the cradle.

Just kidding... With her current physical strength, let alone chasing ducks... it's difficult to even swim in the water. 'You can try using a bow, it's so accurate... Where are my bows and arrows?'

——Oops! I was so excited when I woke up that I forgot to lose my bow and arrow!!!

Although the accuracy of the fairy's archery is really unbearable, it is her only self-defense weapon! It is also judged to be a green spirit-level weapon by the Book of Mountains and Seas, so how can she throw it away?

So the fairy ignored her hunger and went back to the place where she woke up. After some searching, she finally found the half-buried bow in the pile of rotten leaves.

The fairy was holding the lost bow and was overjoyed. Suddenly she felt something was wrong. It felt like someone was spying on her. So the fairy turned around suddenly, and she was faced with a plush face with no eyes.

Already.

The fairy's eyes suddenly widened.

Oh my! Why did this ugly monster come here???

The fairy couldn't help but throw the bow in his hand and hit it. Of course, it didn't hit it. But the fairy was obviously very angry. The little animal that climbed the tree so fast was clearly the fairy watching near the tree hole in the snowy area.

The mole-like animal that arrived!

'That thing is following me!' the fairy came to this conclusion immediately.

The fairy no longer had any luck and was determined to find that thing. However, the sea of ​​trees was too dense. The fairy searched around and was forced to escape by it.

Helpless, the fairy had to choose to give up.

However, she still felt unhappy. Anyone who was targeted by a thing that could create illusions would not be happy.
