My Lady Queen

Chapter 23: The Grand Canyon

It was getting late, and the farmers who had gone out to cultivate had already returned.

Night is the time when the Wingmen are most frequently dispatched, and even heavily armed soldiers will not leave the fortress at night.

Wishing also heard bad news. For unknown reasons, Yiren has been dispatched very frequently recently, and many people in the village were injured.

It is said that the lairs where the Wingmen live are located deep in the Grand Canyon, which is full of sulfur and highly toxic gases, which often cause their bodies to carry various toxins.

Wishing anxiously paced back and forth in front of Lilia's house, and looked towards the village entrance from time to time, very upset.

It has been nearly 4 hours since Lilia left, and she doesn't really need to go to the Grand Canyon area, she just needs to search around. It stands to reason that she should have come back long ago.

The wish has already been made up, since the Xingyao berry can cure cerebral infarction, and Mina has also told him that this fruit can refine life potion, if Lilia really finds it, let her mother use it, It's a big deal for me to find another one.

He had fed Lilia's unconscious mother some water just now, and now he felt a little ashamed to face this poor woman, so he didn't have the nerve to enter the house, so he could only wait anxiously outside the house, hoping to see that poor woman as soon as possible. The figure of the smelly girl appeared in his line of sight.

……

In a lush forest far away from the canyon, the place is strangely quiet. There are no insects or birds, only the "rustling" sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves, as if the devil is chewing food.

"No, no, not here."

A small figure in a blue and white skirt was struggling through the woods.

Her clothes had been scratched in several places, and a few small cuts had been cut on her small face, which was in severe pain under the infiltration of sweat.

This girl is naturally Lilia who came to look for the star berries.

Because of the nearby garrisons, and the fact that mercenary groups and wandering swordsmen come here from time to time looking for opportunities to make a fortune, the people in Canyonlands are also well-informed.

Lilia remembered hearing that most of the star berries grow near thorn bushes, so she burrowed wherever it was difficult to walk. Not long after she came out of the village, her hands were cut several times, and the hem of her skirt was about to be torn It's in strips.

However, there is still no trace of the star berry.

In fact, he made a mistake in making a wish. This kind of fruit is not as common as he imagined. Not only alchemists need it, but also some beasts and even winged people will use it to treat injuries. It is impossible to find it in ordinary places .

Mina's one was obtained by chance when her father was alive, and it was her most precious thing besides the iron sword and leather armor, so it was used as a sacrifice when praying to the God of Summoning.

It's just that in order to reduce the psychological pressure of making a wish, this overly kind-hearted little girl deliberately made it very ordinary, but unexpectedly she took the wish seriously.

Think about it carefully, how could this kind of thing that has a good healing effect without refining be everywhere.

But Wishing didn't know, and Lilia didn't know either.

She and her mother depended on each other, unable to do heavy work or plant land, so she made a living by herding sheep. She was relatively familiar with the nearby terrain, so she searched all the way in the direction of the Grand Canyon.

The night was getting darker, but Lilia didn't care. With the bright moonlight, she concentrated on searching patiently among the bushes, unaware of the rising temperature and the gradually stronger smell of sulfur.

At this time, she was very close to the Grand Canyon.

As the name suggests, the Grand Canyon is a long geological crack, and this geological phenomenon can be seen everywhere on this planet.

This Grand Canyon is the longest in the Principality of Nagar. It is officially called the Nagar Canyon in official records. It is more than 200 kilometers long and spreads almost half of the western border of the Principality.

Unlike on Earth, the word "canyon" here is often associated with words such as terror, death, and predators, because these places are inhabited by the public enemies of all creatures on this planet-wingmen.

When Lilia was looking for the Star Berry, her whereabouts inevitably fell into a pair of eyes.

This is a tall shadow hanging upside down on a branch of a tree. It is spindle-shaped like a cicada chrysalis, with only a pointed head exposed outside. The crimson pupils can easily pierce through the darkness of the night.

With its underdeveloped brain, it still can't figure out why humans appear here, but this does not prevent it from being able to see how fresh, juicy and delicious this "food" will be.

It had forgotten the last time it ate meat, and the yellow stones it usually used to satisfy its hunger were choking to death even with its blunted sense of taste.

Perhaps, this would be a good meal, especially if there were no greedy and brutal fellows around here.

Maybe these flesh and blood can make it molt a second time, and then it won't have to leave the warm lair in such a cold night to perform vigilance tasks.

Out of instinct, it decided to accept this rare meal of meat.

Like all good predators, it remained motionless, patiently waiting.

Lilia knew nothing about the danger in the dark, she only wanted to relieve her mother's pain, and searched hard by the moonlight.

Before she knew it, she came to the bottom of a big tree, and there happened to be a bush there, so she bent down to have a closer look.

And less than one meter above her head, a spindle-shaped object moved slightly.

Immediately afterwards, its arms opened silently. It turned out that it was its wings that wrapped its body.

This is one of the most basic postures of Wingman. They can hang upside down on tree branches and rock walls like bats, but once they open their huge wings with a wingspan of more than 3 meters, they can launch a thunderous blow at any time.

Lilia noticed that the surrounding light had dimmed a lot, as if something blocked the moonlight, she looked around strangely, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Because she found that she was right under a huge shadow, and she had seen the shape of this shadow in the sky more than once.

Almost subconsciously, she raised her head, and in the dark canopy, two red light spots like will-o'-the-wisps were staring at her closely.

"what!"

Huge fear hit her heart in an instant, and she couldn't help but exclaimed loudly.

But this was the best starting gun for the Winged Man who was waiting for a rabbit, so when its claws were released from the branch, its whole body fell straight down like a cannonball.

Seeing the terrified face of the prey getting closer, it seemed to have tasted the sweet taste of fresh flesh in its mouth.

But in the midst of this flash, an extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded in its ears:

"Damn it, what a big Batman!"
