Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

Before this sudden change happened to him, Eli never thought that he would enter the abyss forest many times in a short period of time.

"The deeper you go into it, the more vulnerable you are to being eroded by the dark elements in the forest."

This is the teaching that the mentor gave Eli, and when he walked side by side with Allen in the forest again, Eli remembered it unexpectedly.

...But people who have never approached dark creatures on their own initiative may still be approached by dark elements.

Mentor, you didn't tell me this.

Eli thought in his heart, his thoughts flew away unconsciously, he took a step forward completely by inertia, and when he wanted to continue to take the next step, he felt himself being pulled back violently.

"Eli!"

Allen called him, but his voice was a little harsh.

Only then did Eli regain his senses, and found that there was no way ahead.

A fault lay before their eyes, cutting off the path of further progress, and he was only one step away from breaking himself into a heap of bones.

"Don't be easily distracted in the abyss forest." Allen frowned and looked at Eli's situation. He let go of his hand when he nodded obediently, and focused on observing the changed terrain in front of him.

Eli didn't realize until Allen let go that the black-haired young man had just grabbed his ribs.

【…】

While the human was leaning over to check the terrain, the undead quietly rubbed the place where it was dragged.

For some reason, he felt that the bone was still a little hot, leaving the warmth of the other party's palm.

After this little action was done, Eli put away his distracting thoughts and explored the terrain with Allen.

[Here...] Eli has carefully observed the surrounding environment, and he is sure that he and Alan have been here before when they came to find Grady, but it was clearly a smooth and winding path at that time, but now, the path is gone. Disconnected from the gap in front of him and Allen, the second half of the path sank for some reason, and there was a height difference of more than ten meters from the first half of the road under their feet.

Eli was a little unbelievable: [The terrain here has changed? 】

Allen nodded: "Yes."

The Abyss Forest is the most unique land that Allen has seen since he was reborn on the continent of Asa.

Every three months, the topography and landforms will be changed autonomously. The original hills become flat land, and there are faults or gaps in the flat land, and the gaps are closed and squeezed into new hills.

This kind of topographic transformation almost changes with the time of the alternation of seasons, and the interval of deformation is very regular.

When Alan was cultivating Moonflower Grass, he deliberately observed the date and completed the cultivation and harvesting process during the period of the terrain change, so as not to find the land where he planted Moonflower Grass after the terrain changed.

Given the particularity of the terrain of the abyss forest, it is normal for terrain changes to occur, but Allen frowned slightly as he stared at the fault in front of him.

There is still at least a month before the turn of seasons.

The terrain transformation of Abyss Forest has been advanced.

【Why? ] Eli couldn't help asking.

Allen mentioned in the book that the abyss forest will have its own terrain related chapters, but it didn't mention any external force that would advance the deformation period.

"I don't know." Allen couldn't answer Eli's question, and it was the first time he encountered the situation where the transformation period was advanced.

The only thing they can be sure of is that no matter what external force caused this change, the force that can affect the autonomous operation system of an entire abyss forest must be extraordinary.

"Don't be distracted from now on, at least we have to ensure that we can reach Karbi smoothly."

【it is good. 】

Eli responded to Allen's instructions, but the next second he suddenly felt his body vacated, and his sudden loss of balance made him conditioned to grab the nearest support.

Allen, who was used as a support, said: "I will take you down."

Eli: [Wait...]

Judging from the current posture what Allen wants to do, as soon as Eli wanted to stop the words, he heard the wind intensify in his ears, and the scenery on both sides suddenly receded rapidly.When the ground rapidly enlarged in his eyes, the sound of the wind suddenly slowed down, and he felt that he and Allen had landed on the ground smoothly.

Allen picked him up and held him in his arms, and led him to jump off the fault.

After the rapidly changing scenes around him came to a standstill, Allen put down Eli: "Sorry, it's faster to get down this way."

[How can you just jump off like this? ! 】

Compared with the embarrassment caused by the out-of-shape princess hug just now, what came to Eli's heart first was shortness of breath.

Even though Allen accurately controlled the surrounding airflow before landing and let the air mass support them to land, he was still worried about the other party's dangerous behavior.

Seeing that the undead could almost manifest disapproving eye sockets, Allen obediently listened to the other party's safety lessons. This scene reminded him of what happened during the college exchange.

Due to his outstanding talent in pharmacy, Alan was specially approved to use the college's pharmacy laboratory without restriction. When he was not in class, Eli always liked to run to the pharmacy laboratory.Allen doesn't mind having someone with the same talent nearby to observe the experiment, besides, Eli is always very quiet. He can sit quietly in the laboratory for most of the day with just a book.

The only time Allen felt that the senior might interfere with his experiment progress was when the other party frowned at him and said to him righteously, "It's too dangerous for you to do this."

It is always difficult to innovate according to the textbooks and tutorials. Alan occasionally follows his own new ideas when doing experiments.Eli, who was reading at the side, always raised his head inadvertently, and saw with a headache that his highly adventurous junior was preparing to add materials that did not match the steps of the tutorial to the pot.

The scene where they get along usually goes something like this -

"Wait!" Eli's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Alan's wrist, which was about to add medicinal ingredients, "What do you want to add?"

Allen, who was grabbed by the wrist, answered frankly: "There is no material that does not meet the steps."

A bit of material that doesn't follow the step-by-step instructions-listen, how confidently it is said!

Eli was almost laughed at by Allen, he shook his head: "But the consequences are unpredictable, and you are likely to be injured."

"I know." Allen nodded and said sincerely, "So you go out first, this kind of potion is inherently unstable during the brewing process, and if it is not mixed evenly after adding new medicinal materials, it may cause an explosion."

"...Then you still let me out?!"

Eli only found out after persuading Allen twice that he couldn't beat him at all, but he had a gentle and talkative personality. As long as he was stared at by Allen for a long time, he would surrender in those eyes. Reluctantly let go of his hand, watching Allen put those novel medicinal materials that made his heart skip a beat into the medicine pot.

Even though he knew that Alan was doing a dangerous experiment, which might even affect him, Eli still insisted that he must be there.

If he was there, he could somewhat protect the other party in the event of danger - what Eli thought at the time, then he would still be a senior who could really protect Allen.

After two years away from Allen, when he saw that the young man was still doing dangerous moves freely, he still said the same words as before.

However, Eli knows in his heart that he no longer believes in himself so much, and he is not sure that he can protect the other party in time when danger occurs.
