Chapter 492 Incompetent Feiying
Chapter 492 Incompetent Feiying
Feiying sat powerlessly on the cracked ground, and the world around her returned to darkness and silence due to the extinction of the fire flower.
She hugged her legs and buried her face deep between her knees, like a little animal curled up after being injured.
Ruined……
What should I do?
three minutes.
What on earth can one do with such a ridiculously short time?
Fighting an enemy of the same level as the End?
Stop kidding, three minutes isn't even enough to tickle the other person, and you might not even be able to get close to them.
Use these three minutes to forcibly tear open the door to the world?
It's even more impossible.
Not to mention that Feiying has no idea how to operate it.
Follow her ideas.
Open a stable channel to other world fragments,
What is definitely needed is a continuous and massive infusion of power.
As for the three minutes of authority, she had no idea how to start.
So, the worst case scenario now might be that she was trapped and died here.
Completely trapped in this fragment of the world.
Staying up late was exactly what she was thinking at the moment, but it was like a heavy rock, pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Endless loss and frustration overwhelmed her like a tide.
Just when Feiying was immersed in the quagmire of self-denial and unable to extricate herself, a crisp and energetic sound of footsteps came from afar.
"Sister Feiying, let's go hunting!"
A little girl ran in front of her like a happy little deer, with an innocent smile on her face.
It's a small lotus.
Feiying slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Hehua's innocent smiling face, but the haze in her heart did not dissipate at all.
She shook her head and spoke weakly.
"I'm not in the mood."
Even a child can easily feel the intense fatigue and frustration.
"Oh……"
The smile on Xiao Hehua's face faded a little. She didn't force it anymore, but sat down next to Feiying very sensibly, and hugged her knees like her.
The two of them just sat there quietly, not saying a word.
After a long while, Little Lotus tilted her head and spoke cautiously.
"Sister Feiying, are you thinking about how to leave here again?"
Feiying's body stiffened for a moment and she didn't respond.
This is the default.
A long time ago, she had made it clear that she was just a passer-by and would leave here sooner or later.
However, she herself did not expect that this "sooner or later" would be delayed for so long.
The wounds left behind by the end of the war were like an inescapable shackle, tightly restraining her power. She could not find a way to open the door to the rift because she could not maintain her fairy form for long, and naturally there was no way to leave.
Day after day, she was trapped in this small fragment of the world, dragging it out until now.
"Sister Feiying, can't you really stay?"
Little Lotus's voice was very soft, with a barely perceptible hint of pleading.
"Everyone in the village needs you."
"Grandpa said that the winters used to be very long and very cold. Many people froze to death, and many livestock couldn't survive."
"But after you came, Sister Feiying, winter became so short and warm."
There was admiration in the little girl's eyes. She gestured with her hands and tried hard to describe the miracle she had seen.
"Sister Feiying only needs to wave her hand, and the thick snow melts in the blink of an eye, and the whole world becomes warm! Warmer than the biggest bonfire!"
"If you're willing to stay, we can grow more crops, raise more cattle and sheep, and we won't have to worry about starving or freezing anymore!"
"Besides, you are so powerful, sister, we will definitely be able to catch lots of prey!"
The little girl's words were innocent and sincere, full of longing for a better future.
And the core of this yearning is her.
Feiying became more and more annoyed when she heard these words.
She stood up suddenly, looked down at Xiao Hehua, and spoke in a decisive tone.
"Little Lotus! I've told you many times that I'm definitely leaving!"
Her determination made the little girl flinch.
Perhaps realizing that her attitude was a bit extreme, Feiying took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and added stiffly.
"Just...just not right now."
"I'll leave as soon as I recover from my injuries."
She herself was almost numb from saying this.
Little Lotus tilted her little face up and looked at her blankly, confusion written all over her clear eyes.
She was silent for a moment, then spoke softly with an almost cruel, childlike logic.
"But... Sister, you always say you want to leave, but you never leave."
"Every time I ask you, you say your injury hasn't healed."
The little girl tilted her head, and her pure gaze was like the sharpest knife, mercilessly cutting through the last layer of disguise that Feiying used to comfort herself.
"But I see you, sister, don't seem to be hurt."
"Even if...even if I'm really injured..."
"It's been so long, I'm afraid... it won't be able to recover in the future, right?"
Children's words are harmless, but they can also be the most hurtful.
Xiao Hehua's question, which was so pure without a trace of impurities, was like an invisible hammer, hitting Feiying's heart hard, shattering her last excuse for self-paralysis.
"It was just an accident!"
Feiying suddenly raised her voice, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and almost instinctively started to defend herself.
"I can definitely heal my injuries!"
She said this with absolute certainty, yet even she herself felt a little lacking in confidence.
Little Lotus was not frightened by her sudden and intense reaction. She just continued to look at her with her clear eyes, and then spoke slowly.
"But I heard from the old people in the village that a doctor cannot heal himself."
The little girl paused, as if organizing her logic.
"If I follow what you said, Sister Feiying, I won't be able to leave unless I heal myself..."
"Then Sister Feiying, will you never be able to leave me?"
These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Feiying's mind.
forever……
Can’t leave?
She stood there in a daze, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
Yes, she couldn't even completely eradicate the root cause of her injury, so how could she cure it?
If he couldn't be cured, he wouldn't be able to maintain his power for long, and it would be even more impossible for him to master the method of tearing open the rift and leaving this hellhole.
This is an endless loop.
A vicious cycle that she had been deliberately avoiding, but was ruthlessly exposed by a child.
"Ahhhhh, so annoying!"
An indescribable feeling of irritability and depression surged into her heart, and Feiying let out a mad growl.
She put her hands into her long red hair, which was like a waterfall, and rubbed it frantically, making the originally smooth hair into a mess like a messy bird's nest.
She squatted on the ground, holding her head, for a long time.
Suddenly, she stood up.
"go!"
Her movements were quick and decisive, without a trace of drag.
"Go hunting!"
Little Lotus was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile bloomed on her little face.
"Great!"
The little girl jumped up happily.
Feiying didn't say anything else, turned around and walked back to the village entrance with big strides.
She didn't take much, just took a small hunting bow suitable for children and a pot of feather arrows from the weapon rack, and then put a sharp skinning knife on her waist.
Preparation is simple and quick.
Then, she left the village with little Lotus, who was like a little follower with excitement on her face, and walked towards the distant mountains and forests.
During the hunting process, Feiying played the role of a bystander and instructor as always.
Her purpose this time was very clear, which was to train Xiao Hehua's ability to survive independently.
She was even too lazy to set up her favorite simple traps made with the power of fire.
She just followed behind Xiao Hehua, watching the little girl imitate her, clumsily hiding her body, looking for traces of prey, and then trying to fight those small beasts alone.
Feiying will only intervene when Xiao Hehua is in real danger of her life.
Just as the two were dealing with their prey, the sky suddenly darkened without any warning.
It was not the dim light of sunset, but a strange, chilling darkness.
"Strange, why did it get dark?"
Little Lotus raised her head and muttered something in confusion.
A cold wind blew past, making her shiver.
Ever since Feiying regained her fairy power, the power of fire has affected the environment here.
The long and cold winter was forcibly shortened, and the whole world maintained a warm and pleasant climate. It had not rained for a long time, let alone snowed.
Today's gloom seems particularly abrupt.
At this moment, a pitch-black crack appeared out of nowhere in the center of the dark sky.
It was like a hideous scar, brutally torn open by an invisible hand, and it was still expanding.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hehua was not afraid. Instead, her eyes lit up and she excitedly tugged at the corner of Feiying's clothes.
"Sister, the big prey is coming again!"
This kind of disaster beast that broke into the fragments of this world from the cracks is not the first time it has appeared.
For Feiying, cleaning up these uninvited guests has long become a daily routine, and it is even a way for her to vent her inner frustration.
She raised her head and looked at the twisted monsters swarming out of the cracks, a hint of impatience on her face.
I'm in a bad mood, so I'm using you to vent my anger.
Feiying raised her right hand.
Just as she was about to use the power of fire to kill this group of disaster beasts that she disliked, the number of disaster beasts that emerged from the rift made her slightly stunned.
More than ever before.
But, it's just a little more.
The next second, a dazzling flower of fire bloomed behind her.
Blazing light and heat instantly engulfed the entire battlefield.
One minute.
Two minutes.
As time was about to enter the third minute, Feiying's figure shuttled through the flames, harvesting lives in the most efficient way.
As the last second passed, the Flame Flower let out an unwilling wail and disintegrated into points of light all over the sky.
Feiying staggered and fell to one knee on the ground, gasping heavily, and the familiar feeling of weakness swept over her body again.
Around her, the ground within a radius of several miles had turned into a scorched earth, thousands of corpses of disaster beasts piled up like mountains, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
