Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 457 Enoki and Catalpa

The fire magic caused the Piranha Plant to burn up and turn into ashes.

"I don't usually like to feed the floor with dust."

Xi Yeming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the floor behind him, as if there was really dust on it. When his eyes scanned the floor, he did not find anything unusual.

Xi Yeming frowned slightly, and a feeling of doubt arose in his heart.

He originally wanted to turn around to see Chun's situation, but at this moment he found that her figure had disappeared.

"What about people?"

Xi Yeming murmured in a low voice, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

His eyes wandered through the corridors of the palace, looking left and right, trying to find any trace of Chun.

No matter how he looked, he couldn't see that familiar figure.

Although the corridors of this palace are spacious, they are not so large that someone could disappear without a trace in a short period of time.

Xi Yeming couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chun had some special method to quickly escape from here?

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, this was the site of a magic trial, and even if Tsubaki wanted to escape, she couldn't escape from this palace.

"It hurts……"

Xi Yeming suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, making him gasp.

Just now, in order to stimulate the heat of the blood, he used a relatively extreme method. Now it seems that this method has caused a considerable burden on his body.

Senior Areo's soul flame was developed specifically to deal with this kind of accident, but the method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting one's own eight hundred has not been spread.

If he used the elemental flame that Xi Yeming usually used, it would be difficult to have any effect even if he roasted himself.

Xi Yeming endured the pain and slowly sat down cross-legged on the spot. He took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing, trying to relieve the discomfort in his body.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a weak natural magic flowing around him. Although this magic was very weak, it was extremely clear, as if it was guiding him to discover something.

Xi Yeming's heart moved, and he realized that this magic trial might not have only one entrance and exit as he had previously thought.

If this is true, then it makes sense why the natural magic reserves here are so large.

If you think about it carefully, the village chief mentioned that the divine power radiated by the statue was most likely the work of Tsubaki or even his companions.

Xi Yeming doesn't think that Chun, who can protect the villagers in this way, would be a bad person.

But the levels in this magic trial seemed to have claimed too many lives, and Xi Yeming was unable to decide what to do with them.

"Let's ask her next time we meet."

If possible, Xi Yeming hopes that no one is a bad person.

At the end of the palace corridor, the originally calm air suddenly seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and a strong wind blew in without warning.

This strong wind was like a ferocious beast, sweeping in at an astonishing speed. Even the walls seemed to tremble slightly wherever it passed.

Xi Yeming was standing in the middle of the corridor and had not anticipated the sudden strong wind.

The strong wind was like a powerful shock wave that hit his face hard, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

His long hair was blown into disarray in an instant, as if it had been ravaged by a violent beast.

"wrong!"

Xi Yeming's heart was filled with alarm. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his confused look instantly became sharp. He stood up quickly, his body tense, and stared at the end of the corridor intently.

Just then, a crisp and efficient sound of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

The footsteps were rhythmic and the crisscrossing sounds echoed in the empty corridor, making Xi Yeming immediately realize that there was definitely more than one person coming.

"Um--"

As the footsteps got closer, two figures finally appeared in Xi Yeming's field of vision.

These are two unfamiliar faces. The girl who looks a little older is walking in front, her steps are steady and powerful; following closely behind is the other girl, her steps are a little hurried, and she seems a little impatient.

"I still feel a little bit reluctant."

The girl walking in front spoke softly, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.

"Sister Enoki, let's hurry up and make this a quick decision."

The girl behind was obviously more expectant, and there was a hint of excitement in her urging voice.

"Eno...?"

When Xi Yeming heard the name, his heart moved. He roughly guessed the meaning of the word, "It really is the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"Okay, my second sister, I haven't seen a living person other than us for a long time. Let's have fun and don't tell my eldest sister."

The second sister named "榎" and the third sister named "楸" completely ignored Xi Yeming who was not far away on the opposite side. Their attention was focused on each other, and they seemed to be discussing how to deal with the battle in front of them.

"It's the same as before, you go first." Enoki said lightly.

"Okay~" Qiu's voice was unusually soft, as if she was acting coquettishly to her sister.

Xi Yeming looked at the two sisters eagerly, feeling helpless. He felt like a superfluous person, left out and ignored.

Finally, Xi Yeming couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Are you also the master of this magic trial like Chun?"

Although his voice was not loud, it still caught Qi's attention in this quiet environment.

"Huh?" Qi turned around in surprise and looked at Xi Yeming, then said to Enoki, "Second sister, he is talking to us?"

"Oh, that's how it is," Enoki sighed helplessly, as if he had seen through something, "After all, we don't interact with outsiders every day, so ignoring others is a helpless move."

Seeing that the other two were reluctant to take action, Xi Yeming felt relieved, but he did not let down his guard. He knew that the other party might just be observing him, or waiting for a suitable time to attack.

However, Xi Yeming did not want to easily give up the possibility of resolving the problem peacefully.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said in a gentle but firm tone: "Excuse me, I'm here to seek the elixir. I have no ill will towards you, I just hope to get the legendary elixir. Can we stop fighting and have a good exchange? This will be better for everyone."

After hearing what Xi Yeming said, a hint of surprise flashed in Enoki's eyes. She didn't expect that this young-looking man could be so calm and rational.

Moreover, Xi Yeming's tone revealed a sincerity and kindness, which changed Enoki's impression of him somewhat.

“And a pacifist.”

Enoki commented secretly in his heart.

She was satisfied with Xi Yeming's politeness, but at the same time she also understood that it was her duty and she couldn't give up easily just because of a few words from the other party.
