Chapter 383 Going to the Earthly Swamp

Chapter 383 Going to the Earthly Swamp
"You don't even know about the Five Sacred Pagodas? It's the most popular tourist attraction in Wutai in recent years!"

Yuffie became energetic all of a sudden, and explained with great interest:
"We in Wutai worship [Water God], [Five Sages], and [Great Dynasty]. Among them, the Five Sacred Pagodas have the most significance for Wutai... Oh! Heather, you are so annoying!"

Heather slapped Yuffie aside, and said in an impatient tone, "It's as annoying as when I was a child, don't you need a beating?"

"Hiss..." Yuffie couldn't help but gasped when recalling the painful memories six years ago, subconsciously covered her little butt, and said in a panicked tone, "I, I, and I are now a powerful beautiful girl ninja, I warn you not to Beat me!"

Tifa jokingly pushed Heather's shoulder lightly: "Brother, don't scare her."

Heather snorted, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of the steaming tea.

Yuffie has never seen Heather listen to others like this, even Heather's master Zangan is often ridiculed by him.Her eyeballs rolled around, and she looked at Tifa differently, as if she had found a backer: "Sister, are you Heather's girlfriend?"

Tifa's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered, "I, I...not...yes..."

On the side, Alice 'kindly' explained: "Tifa is Teacher Heather's junior sister, it's normal to have a good relationship."

"Oh--"

Yuffie suddenly realized and nodded, looking at Alice became more intimate: "Are you Heather's apprentice? Then we are about the same generation, you can call me Yuffie."

"My name is Alice, please give me your advice." Alice said with a smile, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

Not far away, Claude, who was leaning against the door, rubbed his eyebrows: "It always feels like it's getting noisy all of a sudden..."

Barrett didn't mind, and laughed loudly: "Wouldn't it be great if the atmosphere in the team was a little more cheerful?"

Although it was a bit noisy, the addition of Yuffie made the atmosphere in the team more active.The din continued until after dinner, when Bill Sr. vacated two larger guest rooms, three gentlemen in one and four ladies in the other.

Because Yuffie was too noisy at dinner, Heather originally planned to drive Yuffie directly to the bird stable and let her sleep with Chocobo, but Yuffie was crying and quarreling and refused to go, plus Tifa and Alice begged for mercy, and then she gave up.

Not to mention the girls' dormitory, the boys' dormitory was arranged in a guest room on the second floor of the residence.The room is fairly spacious, with three single beds covered with freshly laundered fluffy sheets.

"Go to bed early, and leave early tomorrow morning for the direction of the earthly swamp. Believe me, this journey will not be easy." Heather patted the pillow and lay down on the bed.

Claude stood the giant sword by the wall and was secretly arranging his hair in the mirror in front of the cabinet.It's different to have a girlfriend, even a dull gourd like Claude knows that he is not careful.

The single bed was a little narrow for Barrett, but it was fine.The machine gun on his arm was placed on the table, with one hand resting on the back of his head, apparently still unable to fall asleep for a while, and asked curiously, "Heather, that girl named Yuffie seems a little afraid of you?"

"...she was only ten years old when I met her. Because of some misunderstandings, she was very hostile to me and Zangan at the time, and she always caused us trouble from time to time."

Heather recalled: "Zangan likes children, so he just smiled and didn't care, but I hate noisy children, so I caught her and gave her a profound lesson, so I got to know her father Goduo .”

"Gotuo, Lord of Wutai City, I have also heard of his name."

Claude, standing in front of the cabinet, turned around:
"It is said that he is an extremely powerful martial arts master, and caused a lot of trouble for the Shinra Army during the war."

"Oh? Claude, you have also participated in the Shinra Army, have you participated in the battle against Wutai?" Barrett only remembered Claude's former 1st fighter status at this time.

"No, when I joined the army, it coincided with the end of the Wutai campaign. When I was promoted to 1st, the impression of the special forces in the outside world was no longer a 'war hero', but a 'Shinra's loyal dog'." Claude Shrugged helplessly.

Barrett sighed: "The war between Wutai and Shinra has lasted for so many years, and it ended in defeat in the end. Alas, if Wutai worked hard at that time and put Shinra on the ground, there would not be so many troubles now. .”

"There are many reasons for the defeat of Wutai, and the reasons are not as simple as you imagine. Zangan and I also broke up because of a series of incidents in Wutai. He continued to tour the world, while I We went round and round all the way and finally went to Midgar."

Heather didn't say much about herself:

"In short, be careful about the magic spar on your body. Yuffie has had a special fascination with magic spar since she was a child, and her stealing techniques are top-notch."

"Uh……"

Barrett and Claude looked at each other, and subconsciously moved their weapons inlaid with magic crystals closer towards them.

"Okay, go to sleep now."

"Okay, okay... But let me say in advance, I snore."

"It's okay, I lived in a dormitory when I joined the army, so I can adapt."

"Ah, I'm fine too."

"Oh, all right."

So, that night, Claude and Heather saw just how loud a person's snoring can be.

The next morning, the girls' dormitory opened the door talking and laughing. They were surprised to find that Claude and Heather had tired faces, but Barrett looked refreshed.

After washing up and having breakfast, the convoy set off in a mighty way.

Alice gripped the steering wheel of the light truck with both hands excitedly, while Barrett was watching over her.This SA-37 has a light body and is suitable for people with little strength to drive. In addition, Barrett, an old driver, is always paying attention, so he is not afraid that Alice will overturn the car.Claude and Heather were sitting in the back of the car, huddled together with Red Comet, hanging their heads to catch up on sleep.

On the other side, Jesse is driving Crowder's Hardy Daytona, and Yuffie is sitting behind her yelling and getting excited.Tifa followed closely behind in the Lightning Thunder that changed from Thunder Wolf Dragon. Although Tifa is not very good at driving motorcycles, Thunder Wolf Dragon has turned on the autopilot mode intimately, and she only needs to put on a show.

Old Bill was driving a truck specially used to transport chocobos, and Billy and Ale sat in the co-pilot with nervous expressions.

Traveling south along the road, the surrounding environment changed from lush greenery to gradually deserted.The closer you get to the earthly swamp, the more fog will appear around you.

Three hours later, they reached the border of the earthly swamp in the pasture area.

At this time, the surrounding fog was already very thick, and the air was filled with a strange smell. The road stretched into the fog like a road leading to hell, and there were endless muddy fields and dead trees on both sides of the road.

"Is it near here?" Claude jumped out of the car holding the hilt of his sword, and looked around vigilantly: "I always feel that there is something staring at us in the fog."

"That should be [Midgar python]. It is said that adults can reach twenty meters in length, and they are always lurking in the fog, waiting for the best time to hunt."

Heather also jumped out of the car, her gaze seemed to penetrate the fog:

"Although the purpose of our trip is not them, if they don't know how to praise them, it will be a matter of cutting two more swords. Let's go, keep going, the distance between the earthly swamp and the Mithril mine is quite long."
