Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 17

"Cuckoo..." The carrion bird flew across the sky with its wings. Its black wings were stained with some rainwater, and flashed across the sky with a faint white light under the starlight.

Two children came out of this villa located on a cliff. The girl in the lead pulled the boy and jumped lightly when they went out, as agile as a mouse.

The boy didn't react for a moment and stepped into the puddle at the door. The splash of water just fell on the girl's feet without touching it at all.

"Why didn't you remind me..." Ouyue looked at her half-wet pants depressedly. Now he was wearing white pajamas that looked like a bathrobe, and the water mixed with mud fell on it like black mud spots.

"I thought you could see it." Nasha turned back, her long white hair fluttering in the air. Then she stuck out her tongue, pulled her eyelids, and made a face: "I blame you for not paying attention."

Ouyue was righteous for a moment, but she really couldn't find any excuse to refute.

He looked at Nasha and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Nasha was still wearing a pleated skirt, and the blood-red skirt floated slightly, like a flying butterfly.

Suddenly a slight breeze blew by. This was the wind from the sea, which carried the unique salt smell of the sea.

Aoyue turned her head slightly, and her field of vision suddenly expanded, stretching as far as the horizon.

In the sea at night, the waves reflect the shimmering light of the starry sky and glow with white stars. This scene really makes people feel frustrated as to why they have never learned oil painting. But only a painter who can bear the title of master may be able to freeze this moment on the screen.

But to be honest, if you were standing in this place, who would be able to pick up a paintbrush? They would probably be able to help but stare at it in a daze.

"I didn't expect the weather to be so good today." Nasha looked a little dazed: "It was obviously raining before."

The dark clouds in the sky have dissipated completely, as if they had never appeared.

"Maybe I'm lucky." Ouyue shrugged, and then slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.

He stopped when the rocks at his feet were accidentally blown down the cliff, sliding through the cracks in the rocks and making a thin sound.

Ouyue stretched her head and looked down. The waves washed over the layers of reefs, making sounds layer upon layer, like a grand ensemble.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Nasha looked at him and tilted her head.

"You can't fall from this place, why should you be afraid?" Ouyue didn't seem to understand her question very well, and sat down on her own. He didn't care whether the wet stone would stain his clothes.

"That's right." Nasha sat down next to him.

For a long time, there was only a slight smell of sea salt in the air, and the only sound was the sound of wind. The slight sea breeze blew Ouyue's untreated hair slightly, while Nasha's hair hung down along her neck because it was tied up well.

He suddenly remembered that his brother had taken him to the mountain. The two brothers were lying on the lawn, saying nothing, and could only feel the breeze caressing their cheeks.

"By the way, what do you elves usually do?" Nasha asked suddenly. She tilted her head and looked at Oyue with her light red eyes: "I heard from my dad that you don't stay at home every day like us."

Ouyue was stunned when asked: "We"

He thought for a moment, leaned back slightly, and supported his body with his hands: "I'm not doing anything special."

Looking up from here, he saw the deep starry sky, and suddenly he felt that this place was somewhat similar to his hometown. At least the night sky is the same.

Ouyue still doesn't understand why she was forcibly taken from her home to the Forest of All Souls, and she still doesn't understand why she was sent here.

How can you expect a child who is only ten years old and has spent almost the past ten years singing loudly in the woods to understand anything?

"Well, is it any different compared to us?" Nasha tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Why do you need to know this? It doesn't matter to you, right?" Ouyue looked at her and said, "And you have to tell me first what you usually do."

"Reading." Nasha said, "Just reading and occasionally playing chess."

"Well." Ouyue scratched her head: "The difference is quite big."

He thought for a while and continued: "Elves rarely stay at home. My brother and I usually hang out outside for several days. We can just find a tree branch to sleep at night."

Ouyue sat upright and stretched out her hand to make a big nest: "Sometimes if you can find a herd of deer, you can sleep with the deer as your pillow. Or you can find a mountain rabbit nest, and you can sleep there too."

"Mountain Rabbit" Nasha was stunned: "Can you tell me what that thing is? I think I have only seen black sharp-toothed rabbits here."

The rabbit she was talking about was a carnivorous rabbit, very aggressive, with thick and sharp teeth, and its fur and body were so hard that most competitors found it difficult to eat.

"Mountain rabbit, that's a pretty big rabbit." Ouyue gestured with her hands: "Some are bigger than me. Their nests are very clean, and they are made of hay and are very comfortable. If It was a nice place to be when it was cold.”

"That sounds good." Nasha blinked: "If it is so big, it should be enough to eat for a long time."

"I suddenly understood why there are no mountain rabbits here." Ou Yue patted her forehead, expressing her helplessness.

There is a white band on his head now, which is used to cover the pattern. Seriously, with this outfit and the belt on the head, anyone who sees it has to ask what is going on. But the undead guy acted as if he didn't see it. I don't know if he didn't pay attention or just thought it was normal.

"It's not far away from getting cold today." Nasha said casually: "Did you bring thick clothes? If not, I should be able to find you a thick leather coat."

"I didn't know. Anyway, I only took my brother with me when I went out. And now he is lost." Ouyue held her head helplessly: "Is it very cold in winter for you?"

"If you don't come out, the house will still be very warm. Because the fire will not stop at that time, the room will be very warm." Nasha subconsciously pulled her clothes and took a few breaths.

"Why is it cold?" Ouyue was stunned.

"A bit, maybe I should wear two more clothes." Nasha shrugged, expressing her helplessness.

"But you wear a lot." Ou Yue looked at her curiously.

Nasha's dress has long sleeves, and the neckline and waistband are made of thick fur. Logically speaking, the weather is still hot now. Even if it is a little windy at night, it is far from the point where she will feel cold.

Ouzuki Matata raised his head and looked at her face, and found that Nasha's face was a bit whiter, not as rosy and bloody as before.

"It's time for me to replenish some blood. I have to go back first." Nasha stood up and supported her head: "Wrap yourself in a blanket by the way."

"Vampires are really troublesome." Ouyue looked at her weak look and smiled.

"If you tell me whether you believe it or not, I will suck your blood directly." Nasha pinched her waist and looked at him with a strange expression: "Actually, this is also a choice."

"Then forget it." Ou Yue subconsciously pulled her collar after hearing this.

"Stingy." Nasha lowered her eyelids and made a face at him.

"This has nothing to do with being stingy." Aoyue said with a wry smile, "I still feel dizzy now."

"Having said that." Nasha looked at Ouyue and hesitated: "Maybe I should remind you that the rocks on the cliff are not strong, especially after it has just rained."

"What?" Ou Yue tilted her head and subconsciously scratched the ground: "It's very strong."

He raised his hand and suddenly found that he was holding a stone in his hand

Ouyue swallowed and looked at the place where he was sitting. There were a lot of cracks.

"Should I change places?" His face was full of despair: "If you can see my brother, please say hello to me."

After saying that, the stone shattered like ice in the beginning of spring, and after a while, Ouyue slid down together with the falling stone.

Ouyue grabbed the edge that wasn't broken yet and almost fell off with the falling rocks.

The cliff was at least a hundred meters long, and the waves below hit the rocks below over and over again, causing the water to foam.

The falling rock fell into the sea a few seconds later, sinking into the bottomless sea water without even making a splash.

"Help." Ou Yue shouted loudly. He tried to grab the rock wall with his other hand, but the rocks that had just rained were covered with wet mud and were too slippery to hold on to.

The stone he was holding on to was not reliable either. He held on to it for just a few seconds before breaking again.

Ouyue closed her eyes subconsciously. At this time, he should use the remaining time to pray to his ancestors. It would be too late to finish it.

Suddenly, the weightless feeling stopped, and his wrist seemed to be held by something.

Ouyue opened one eye first to see the situation, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Nasha was now holding on to the edge of the cliff with one hand, and held his wrist tightly with the other hand.

When Ouyue was about to fall, she ran over and jumped down without thinking. It was just enough time to hold Ouyue, even if it was delayed even a moment, there would probably be only water flowers left.

But this is equivalent to carrying the weight of two people on one hand

"It seems that your luck is not very good." Nasha still had time to speak. She tilted her head and looked at Ou Yue with a smile: "In return for saving your life, you have to give me a drink when you get back. Let me bleed you."

Ouyue swallowed, not knowing how to answer.

The physical strength of the vampire has been well demonstrated in this situation. Even with only one hand exerting force, it can actually retain its strength.

"Can you pull me up?" Ouyue said with a wry smile: "If you really can go back alive, you can drink my blood as you like."

It's almost time to die. If she refuses now, she doesn't know if she will just throw herself down. Ouyue thought silently in her heart, she'd better survive first, or at worst, she could faint for a few days after going back.

"Then this is an agreement, don't go back on it." Nasha smiled so happily, like a child who got candy.

Suddenly, a shattering sound came. The two little guys were stunned at the same time and subconsciously looked at the rock wall.

This time, it wasn't just the stone in his hand that broke. This time, a large piece of stone broke at the same time, as if a god was ordering them from somewhere.

"Oh, it looks like I have to die this time too." Nasha's mouth twitched: "It's really a loss-making deal."

The undead have a very weak sense of life. They don't care about the lives of others, and naturally they don't care about their own lives either.

So this time, Nasha just sighed and expressed regret for the life she was about to lose.

"There is water below, maybe you can still survive." Ouyue looked at the sea underground: "As long as it doesn't fall on rocks."

"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" Nasha suddenly remembered something and said a little embarrassedly: "I can't swim."

"Then you jumped so decisively" Ouyue sighed: "May my ancestors grant me peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if at his request, the cracks on the stone spread instantly, and it was just seconds away from collapse.

Suddenly, black air surged over and gathered behind Nasha.

Ouyue raised her head and was surprised to find that a pair of black wings had grown out of her back.

"You can fly." A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart, but it was extinguished after a moment.

"No." Nasha replied: "I can just make it. Gliding is fine, but flying is better."

The stone could no longer hold up. There were hundreds of stones wrapped in a huge roar, as well as two young children.

Nasha turned around and hugged Ouyue, spreading the wings behind her as much as possible to increase air resistance. But the two little guys still fell at a very high speed. The sea breeze blew upward from below, and the smell of sea salt now seemed foul, as if there were many corpses rotting inside.

The falling rocks fell into the sea first, and they followed them.

Although I always had wings to cushion me, when I fell into the water, I still felt like I had fallen against a wall, and my whole body ached.

The seawater submerged them in an instant. It was so dark in the seawater at night that even if you opened your eyes, you couldn't see anything.

Nasha didn't lie to Aoyue. She really couldn't swim and had never even been in the water except for taking a bath. After the seawater swallowed her up from all directions, the seawater with the smell of salt poured into her nose, ears, and mouth. The oxygen contained in the lungs was pressed out by the water almost instantly.

Nasha blinked her eyes in the water and spit out the last bit of oxygen. Consciousness is gradually lost, and without the supply of oxygen, no matter how strong the body is, it will become weak.

She thought helplessly that she would die in such a place. She felt a little pity in her heart and muttered in her heart: If I had known better, I should have just stayed in the room and read a book.

Her consciousness became deeper and deeper, and the strength she could use slowly faded away, as if the world was leaving her.
