Chapter 197 Lilliput 2
Chapter 197 Lilliput 2
"Who are you? Why are you surrounding me?" Hua Yeqing asked cautiously, trying to keep her voice as soft as possible, afraid of angering these petty people.
She leaned down slightly, trying to align her gaze with the little people.
Thinking to myself, "They seem very nervous. I need to be careful and not make things worse."
"If I accidentally anger them, given their current situation, I might have a hard time getting away."
The five-colored bird cried out in the air, "Hey, don't do it! We're all friends, let's talk this out!"
"Look at this little girl, she looks so kind, how could she be a bad person?"
"We're all part of the forest, maybe we're even relatives, haha!"
A tiny figure who appeared to be the leader stepped forward; he was slightly taller than the other tiny figures.
He wore a hat made of brightly colored flower petals and held a spear decorated with colorful feathers.
He pointed his spear at Hua Yeqing and shouted, "You giant, why have you trespassed into our territory? This is not a place for you!"
Hua Yeqing then realized that she had accidentally entered a hidden miniature world.
She quickly explained, "I didn't wander in on purpose. I got lost in the forest, and these mysterious runes guided me here."
"I mean no harm, I just want to find a way out." She spread her hands, indicating that she was unarmed.
She hoped in her heart that the villains would believe her. "I hope they can understand my situation and please don't act impulsively."
The five-colored bird chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes, Chief, please have mercy and let us go!"
"This little girl is so kind, she won't hurt you! Look at her, her face is so sincere, purer than the clear spring water in the forest!"
After hearing her words, the little people immediately fell into an uproar, whispering among themselves.
The cacophony sound was like a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing in your ear.
Hua Yeqing tried her best to listen, but could only vaguely catch a few words.
"They seem to be discussing whether what I said is true or false. I must convince them to believe me," Hua Yeqing thought anxiously.
Time passed second by second, and finally, a small, slightly tall man with a solemn expression stepped out from the crowd. He looked like the leader of the group.
The leader frowned, looking Hua Yeqing up and down.
He asked seriously, "Is what you're saying true? Did those runes really appear on their own and guide you here?"
Hua Yeqing nodded quickly and said sincerely, "It's absolutely true. I swear in the name of my sisters, I really had no ill intentions."
“I have been lost in the forest for a long time, and all I want is to find a way out and reunite with my sisters.”
"Hmph, why should we trust you? Giants are always dangerous. If you make any untoward moves, we will not show any mercy!"
The leader gripped his spear tightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Hua Yeqing's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Look, I only have this tree branch for self-defense, and I have no designs on your territory."
If you can help me find my way out, I will be extremely grateful and will not bother you again.
“What the little girl says seems to be true. Should we help her?” a little figure whispered in the leader’s ear.
The leader pondered for a moment, then looked at Hua Yeqing again and said, "Alright, I'll trust you for now."
"But you must come with us to see our elders, who will decide whether to help you."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Hua Yeqing's heart, and she quickly said, "Okay, I'm willing to go with you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"Hmph, don't be too happy yet, everything still depends on the elder's decision."
The leader said coldly, then waved his hand, signaling the little ones to lead the Flower Leaf Green forward.
Hua Yeqing followed the little people, thinking to herself, "I hope this elder will be understanding and help me find a way out so that I can reunite with my sisters as soon as possible."
The five-colored bird whispered in her ear, "Little girl, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Maybe this elder can really help us. Maybe the elder will take a liking to you the moment he sees you and just wave his hand to show us the way, haha!"
Hua Yeqing nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "I hope so."
The leader of the minions crossed his arms, stared sharply at Hua Yeqing, and slowly said, "We can't believe you so easily!"
Hua Yeqing's heart sank. She thought, "It seems they are still wary of me. What should I do?"
However, before Huayeqing could show any disappointment,
The leader continued, "However, if you can help us solve a thorny problem we are currently facing, then we might consider letting you leave safely."
Hua Yeqing was overjoyed and thought to herself, "Finally, I have a chance. If I can help them solve their problem, maybe I can leave here and continue searching for my sisters."
He quickly nodded in agreement and eagerly asked, "Alright, please tell me quickly what the problem is?"
"I will do everything in my power to help you all!"
At this moment, a young soldier with bandages wrapped around his body and a pale face walked forward with difficulty and began to plead with Hua Yeqing in a tearful voice.
The young soldier spoke, his eyes filled with fear, his voice trembling, "Every time we passed those spider webs, we were terrified, not knowing when we would be caught... It felt like we could be swallowed by darkness at any moment."
It turns out that, recently, the Lilliputian Kingdom has unfortunately encountered a sudden and major calamity.
A giant spider of enormous size frequently appears in their village, indiscriminately attacking these innocent residents.
Many villains were seriously injured and suffered greatly as a result.
According to the young soldier's description, those terrifying spiders were enormous, as big as the houses where the little people lived!
Their sharp, pointed fangs are terrifying, but what's even more deadly is the incredibly tough and almost indestructible spider silk they spit out.
Hua Yeqing frowned upon hearing this, secretly astonished: "Such a large spider will indeed be difficult for the little people to deal with."
"This seems to be quite a problem. How can we solve it? We need to think of a solution quickly."
Faced with such a powerful and ferocious enemy, the little people were utterly helpless and powerless to fight back...
Not only that, the enormous spider had the audacity to weave a massive and incredibly complex web within the territory of the Lilliputians.
This spider web appears to be woven from countless crystal-clear silk threads.
Each thread shimmered with a mysterious light, like a fine work of art.
For the little people living in this territory, it was a terrible nightmare.
These spider webs are dense and crisscrossed, like a maze.
Numerous crucial passageways were completely sealed off.
The once unobstructed road is now full of obstacles, greatly hindering the daily lives and travel of the little people.
Whenever they needed to cross those areas blocked by spider webs, they had to be on tenterhooks and carefully take detours.
Because if one is not careful, one could easily become entangled in the tough spider silk.
Once caught up in it, the consequences are unimaginable, and one's life will be in grave danger.
