Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 686 The Witch Under the Moonlit Night
Kong Zhe walked alone in the crowd, but he didn't realize that although there were no awakened people in Loki, there were tens of thousands of people gathered on this mountain at one time, and there were people who had seen awakened people among them. The wave of magic power that was released just now under the impatience has already attracted some pairs of eyes in the crowd to notice him.

"Where did you go?"

Kong Zhe walked slowly all the way back to the position just now.When walking halfway, the little fox had already landed on all fours and hurried over. At this time, he was pointing his fingers up and questioning angrily.

"Oh, sorry, I just thought I met...someone I know...so..."

Kong Zhe sighed and explained casually.But then he noticed that the little fox in front of him was panting, with a few tears in the corners of his eyes, looking at him full of grievances.

Kong Zhe smiled: "Why? Just leave for a while, you won't be scared to cry by the fireworks, right?"

"Who, who will be scared to cry!"

The little fox blushed and retorted loudly: "I'm just worried about you!"

Accompanying the three humans tonight is responsible for monitoring their whereabouts and bringing them back to the village safely. This is the task left to him by the village chief before he leaves.Otherwise, if an elder-level person goes missing in the mountains, Fox Village will definitely bear considerable consequences.

On the other hand, the little fox also has a good impression of Kong Zhe and the three who saved him, and it was probably out of his own will to bring them to the ceremony.In fact, what he was most afraid of was that the three people's human identities would be exposed at the festival, which would cause conflicts with people from other villages.When the three of them first came to Rocky, they didn't know many customs and habits here, and they might break some taboos.

No matter from which aspect, he has the obligation to follow the three of them at all times.

That's why the two of them separated and left involuntarily just now, and he wanted to chase after neither of them, which made him so anxious.

The little fox thought angrily, but when he was about to scold him, Kong Zhe spoke first.

Kong Zhe looked behind the little fox, and suddenly asked, "Where is Lily, why didn't you see her?"

"Ah! Lily..."

Only then did the little fox think of this, turned his head and looked around, scratched his head, and said cautiously: "Yes, I'm sorry, she got lost too..."

"Oh? What's going on?" Kong Zhe asked.

The little fox hurriedly told Kong Zhe about Lily leaving alone just now.

"so……"

Kong Zhe touched his chin, then chuckled lightly, and comforted him, "Don't worry, we'll go find her."

Lily's words are okay. In order to prevent her from getting lost, Kong Zhe had quietly marked her with star power, and Lily's location could be sensed within a certain range.This is just a simple application method of star power, the marks made will disappear soon, and the perception distance is not long, and it will lose its effect if it is a little farther away.

But Kong Zhe can still clearly feel Lily's position now, knowing that she hasn't gone far, naturally there is no need to worry.

After just looking for Xiaolei, Kong Zhe has realized that in such a crowded venue, it is not feasible to find someone to be anxious, so he can only take his time.

Kong Zhe carefully felt where Lily was, and walked around the crowd for a while. Sure enough, within a few minutes, he saw the thin figure not far away.

"Lily!"

Kong Zhe yelled and walked over there.At this time, Lily seemed to be looking for something, with her head lowered and her eyes constantly cruising around the ground, she didn't notice the arrival of the two of them.

Hearing Kong Zhe's call, she raised her head.

"Ah, brother!"

"What's wrong? What are you looking for?"

Kong Zhe asked.

"I'm looking for... no, nothing..."

Lili was halfway through her sentence, but she suddenly realized that she changed her words hastily.

"What? Have you lost something? My brother can help you find it together."

Seeing Lily's restless look, even when talking to him, the corners of her eyes were still floating on the ground, obviously she was still looking for something.

"...No...it's really nothing."

I looked around on the ground again, but still didn't find anything.Now Lily finally gave up, sighed, and shook her head to Kong Zhe.

"Brother, I'm tired, let's go back..."

"Woooooooo..."

A bell-like sound suddenly sounded in the distant sky.It was melodious and lingering, and soon spread across the entire mountain.

The sound was somewhat similar to the melody that Fox God sang just now, the sound was obviously not loud, but it completely covered up the deafening sound of firecrackers.

"What's going on here?"

The three of them looked into the sky, and following the sound of the song, beautiful figures leapt up from all over the ceremony.

"That's the recall horn of the Fox God Palace. The Fox God Festival is about to end, so the Fox God is summoning the witches to go back."

Little Fox explained.

"Witch?"

Kong Zhe murmured.Throughout the ceremony, the priestesses flew up one after another, turning into beams of red light, like meteors from the extreme sky, gathering towards a certain place in the sky.

There was a huge carriage standing there, it was the same carriage that was driven by a two-headed creature that looked like a unicorn.

……

"Brother Kong Zhe!"

Relying on the vague sense of the previous magic power, Xiaolei chased all the way, and finally saw Kong Zhe's figure from a distance at this moment.

In the distance, 600 meters away from her, because the other party was standing on a slope, Xiaolei was not blocked from seeing.

Even though it was so far away, Xiaolei was able to confirm immediately that that figure was undoubtedly Kong Zhe, beside him were Lily and a little fox.

At this moment, Xiaolei almost jumped up with joy.Needless to say, the excitement in my heart is felt when I finally meet my lover after searching hard.

"Brother Kong Zhe, I, I am here..."

Xiaolei yelled a few times in a hurry, and waved desperately there.

It's a pity that this distance is still a bit far away, her voice is completely blocked by the fireworks, and there are a large number of people blocking it, so I can see the hillside, but what I see from the hillside is a mass of black heads, which is impossible notice her.

Xiaolei yelled for a long time, but it still had no effect.Especially after seeing the three of them looking up at the sky for a while, they turned around and prepared to leave, and looked in the direction they were going, as if they were going straight down the mountain.

Now Xiaolei finally became anxious, and hurriedly gave up the useless actions of waving and shouting, and started to run towards the hillside.

However, just as she took a step, someone pinned her shoulder.

"Xiao Lei, where are you going?"

Looking back, Xiaozao was standing behind her, she was patting her chest, panting, beckoning to Xiaolei, complaining: "I mean you, why did you run out suddenly... ... Forget it, Lord Fox God is summoning us, let's go, let's go back first."

Saying that, Xiaozao took her wrist and was about to leave.

"Oh, wait... wait!"

Xiaolei was in a daze, and she was dragged back a few steps before she realized it.

"No, not now...I have to go see Brother Kong Zhe!"

She withdrew her wrist, shaking her head again and again.

"Kong Zhe...brother? Who?"

Xiao Zuo tilted her head in doubt, but then she remembered something, and asked hurriedly: "Oh, you mean the... uh, the person who is very important to you that you mentioned this morning, right? Where is he? ?”

"In the……"

Xiaolei turned her head subconsciously, and looked in the direction of the hillside again.However, there was no one there at this time, the place where Kong Zhe was standing just now was empty, and there was no sign of them on the entire hillside.

"They... are gone..."

Xiaolei suddenly wanted to cry again, sniffled and said aggrievedly.

They are only one step away from meeting each other, why can't they catch up?
"I'm going to find him!"

As Xiaolei said that, she wanted to run over there again.Xiaozao hastily grabbed him.

"No! There's no time, Xiaolei."

The chirping in the sky is still ringing, and it seems to be getting more and more urgent.The flying carriage was still waiting in mid-air, but at this moment, there were no flying witches around.

"Huh? But, but..."

Even Xiaolei could clearly feel the urging contained in the sound, it was obvious that the carriage was waiting for the last two people who hadn't returned yet.It's just that Xiaolei is struggling to meet Kong Zhe at this time, although the hope is slim, if she rushes now, there is still a possibility of meeting her.

She missed Kong Zhe so much before, but now that her lover finally appeared in front of her eyes, is she going to miss him so much?

"Don't hesitate, Xiaolei, let's go back first, no matter what happens, we will talk about it later."

Hearing the urging sound, Xiaozao finally became anxious, and held Xiaolei's arm tightly so that she couldn't break free, and quickly explained: "Listen to me, the Fox God Envoy is not that simple. We are now in a borrowed spirit state, if we cannot return in time, then the body and soul will be separated forever. It will be bad at that time..."

"Ah? Why is this..."

Xiaolei was stunned. She was afraid of delaying Xiaozao and wanted her to leave first, but she didn't expect that the consequences of not returning would be so serious.The soul will leave the body forever, doesn't that mean that she will never be able to touch Kong Zhe?

Just thinking about it, the bodies of the two have already started to float up.The carriage in the sky showed signs of moving, and it was about to leave, so Xiaozao had no choice but to make a quick decision and forcefully pulled Xiaolei away.Her body immediately turned into a fox, and the witch clothes on her body suddenly became loose.The fox jumped up with Xiaolei in his arms, stepping on the air with his paws, as if stepping on an invisible cloud, just like this, step by step, climbing the height at a very high speed.

"Well……"

The speed of the two flying out was extremely fast, and they passed the crowd in just a few seconds and flew straight into the sky.

In mid-air, after looking over the top of the hill, Xiaolei finally saw Kong Zhe's figure again, but at this time his back was still facing her, and the distance between the two was still rapidly moving away.

"Brother Kong Zhe!"

Xiaolei shouted loudly, and stretched out her hand far below.

Naturally, the voice couldn't be transmitted, and it was drowned in the fireworks almost as soon as it exited.

Colorful fireworks bloomed around her, and in the radiant afterglow, Xiaolei closed her eyes in despair, a line of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Xiaozuo, who was flying with her in his arms, saw this scene and remained silent.

On the ground, Kong Zhe, who was walking down the mountain, froze in his footsteps, and turned his head with a feeling.

Looking at the sky from a distance, under the reflection of the full moon, a phantom of a white fox supporting a girl flying appeared, just like the legend of the moon night witch in fairy tales.
