Tales of Spring Valley

Looking into the girl's pure and innocent eyes.

Roger took a rare step forward and grasped the other man's hand. "Roger. A traveler."

"Insight: You've noticed that the druid girl Jean's gaze is somewhat vacant. Considering the scene where she fights the frogmen when she transforms into a moon bear, it's not hard to deduce that she has an eye ailment."

"Sixth Sense: You can tell she's completely blind."

Although Qin is blind, her eyelashes are very long and elegantly curled upwards.

She turned to Roger and asked in a cheerful tone, "Traveler? Are you human? Would you mind telling me your gender?"

Roger loosened his grip, somewhat puzzled.

"Human, male."

"Ah..."

She called out softly, instinctively turning to the side:

Should I put on some clothes?

"It's alright."

Roger had the code in his heart, so he was naturally open and honest.

Although he possesses True Sight, how could a Hidden Hero stray from the path of a gentleman?

He then proposed:

"You can just turn into a bear."

Qin nodded thoughtfully:

"So this is what you like."

That's all.

She placed her hands on the ground, tilted her head back slightly, and her lungs rapidly expanded—

A short while later.

She transformed into a lively and adorable little moon bear.

The kind of slap that could kill someone.

"Let's go quickly."

Qin rolled around on the ground skillfully, looking adorable.

Roger's heart skipped a beat. "Where to?"

"Of course it's Spring Day Valley."

Qin responded matter-of-factly:

"That's the most beautiful place in the entire Wind Chasing Mountain Range."

Don't you want to go and take a look?

Roger hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he smiled with relief and said, "Okay."

"Then it's a deal."

Qin said cheerfully.

The next second.

The little moon bear rolled around on the hillside with great enthusiasm.

Roger quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

The zither's tumbling was very smooth.

Although she occasionally bumps into trees or rocks, she has mostly gotten used to it.

After each time it hits a tree.

She would stop and soothe the trees that had been hit with an apologetic expression.

Roger watched silently from the side.

"Extraordinary Perception: You can feel the Old Oak Tree's pain and its affection for the young girl, Qin; these trees are clearly not the first time she has hit them, they are old friends of many years."

He could roughly guess why Qin was traveling by rolling.

Although one's sense of smell and hearing can be trained to a certain level and thus become able to ignore obstacles.

However, its operational efficiency is certainly not as high as the Moon Bear Roll.

However, this move has one requirement.

That means you have to have a hard head.

Looking at the few bumps that were slightly raised on Little Moon Bear's head, Roger couldn't help but say:

"Why don't you just turn back into human form?"

The little moon bear raised its head. "Have you already grown tired of the old and crave the new so quickly?"

Roger was filled with questions.

A moment later.

The druid girl put on the robe Roger had given her, looking bewildered.

She would occasionally grab a part of her robe, as if she had an urge to tear it off.

She was being pulled forward passively by Roger, who was holding a Magic Rope in her hand.

Do you know the direction to Spring Day Valley?

She was a little puzzled.

Under the sun.

A faint light flickered in Roger's eyes:

"Certainly."

At this moment, I stand on the hillside and look down.

Tulips and violets covered the hillsides, creating a magnificent sea of flowers.

At the foot of the mountain lies an endless grassland.

A huge windmill is turning carelessly.

Someone was pushing a cart full of wheat toward the nearby windmill.

In the distance, the valley is dotted with rivers that seem to flow with milk and honey.

A towering, emerald-green tree rises into the sky.

A group of deer were playing under the tree.

Hint: You have discovered Spring Day Valley.

"Let's go."

Roger gently tugged at the rope.

"Ouch."

Qin reluctantly gave a reply.

The two walked down the hillside.

Along the way.

The two chatted casually.

"Qin, why is the moon bear you transform into male?"

Just now, when the moon bear was rolling around.

Roger noticed something he shouldn't have looked at and asked curiously.

"Most creatures are stronger in males, so of course you should choose the one with the stronger attribute when you transform."

Qin answered confidently.

Roger was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Not long after.

They arrived at the entrance to Spring Day Valley.

But at this point, Roger stopped on his own initiative.

Qin stared at him blankly, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Roger released the Magic Rope in his hand and said:

What are your intentions towards me?

Just now, when Qin invited him to Spring Day Valley, her Sixth Sense told her that the girl had other ideas about him.

That's why he hesitated.

The reason we ultimately chose to follow them was because the locator indicated that the Drop Pod seemed to be in this area.

It might be more convenient to find a guide who knows you well.

But he had to figure this out before entering Spring Day Valley.

A regretful expression appeared on the girl's pretty face. "We've been found out."

"Let's get straight to the point!"

"From today onwards, you are my man!"

Roger wasn't surprised, but pondered for a moment and said:

"Reason?"

Qin said with a bitter face:

"According to the rules of Spring Day Valley, I must find a man for myself before I officially come of age, and he cannot be from the valley—otherwise I will be kicked out."

"You know, I'll be officially an adult in 30 years, so to be on the safe side, I naturally need to prepare in advance!"

"Unfortunately, the mountains and fields outside are full of frogmen, and they refuse to come with me."

"You are the first human male I have ever met, so of course I can't miss you."

Roger glanced into Spring Day Valley a few times. "Is this rule reasonable?"

Qin frowned and said:

What is reasonable?

"Just tell me if you're willing or not."

"By the way, I'm good at all kinds of transformations, I can..."

Roger hurriedly stopped:

"I'm sorry, that's not my concern."

"But we can be friends."

The girl immediately became alert:

"My grandmother said that if a man wants to be friends with you, he probably has ulterior motives."

Roger glanced at it and said bluntly, "Even if I have some ulterior motives, they may not be very significant."

"Hmm?"

Qin clearly hadn't figured it out.

"Nothing..."

Roger calmly asked:

Can I meet your grandmother?

Qin couldn't help but beat her chest and stamp her feet, saying:

"So you like this kind of food."

She then muttered to herself, deflated like a punctured balloon, "Once you meet my grandmother, you'll probably be even less likely to want to be my man."

"Everyone says she is the most beautiful woman in Spring Day Valley."

"There is such a rule: we druids from the ' Sea of Green Light ' must find a suitable mate before adulthood, and that mate cannot be from our own tribe."

"Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, so it's only natural that Qin is anxious—as a fellow Longevity Species, you should understand, right?"

Spring Day Valley.

Inside a cool Treehouse.

Qin's grandmother looked at Roger tenderly:

"I think you're quite good, so don't be in such a hurry to reject me."

"As the proverb says, a man should pay more attention to the mother of his sweetheart when he marries, because daughters resemble their mothers and will mostly look more and more like them as they grow up. This is to observe in advance—the same principle applies to maternal grandmothers."

"Qin's mother used to look exactly like me, in every way."

"So if you still have doubts, you might as well take a second look at me."

Her name is "Lan".

Watching this woman speak the most absurd things in the most natural tone.

Roger, however, couldn't refute her!

Because Lan was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Charm is definitely above 20 points.

Lan looked to be around thirty years old, with delicate features and long silver hair gently coiled to one side.

Her eyes seemed to speak volumes.

It's so captivating that you'd fall for it at first glance.

As for her figure, it is impeccable.

Even the sorceress Shar felt inferior in her presence.

"Qin is still young now, but she will be like me in the future."

Lan straightened her chest.

That's how they sell it.

Qin nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Yes, yes."

"It definitely will."

Roger instinctively put his hand to his forehead.

The next moment.

He changed the subject, saying:

"Spring Day Valley seems different from the outside world."

Lan said lazily, "There are no ' Child of Green Light ' outside."

"Many years ago, Spring Day Valley also suffered Unexpected Calamity..."

"If it weren't for the protection of the Child of Green Light, we might have been doomed too."

Roger followed her instructions.

I looked at that lush, towering tree.

Many gentle creatures gathered under the tree.

Deer drinking water.

A white rabbit is chasing.

There was also an alpaca that suddenly fell asleep while grazing.

They all found shelter under that giant tree.

That is the Child of Green Light that Lan mentioned, a Druid Tree with immense natural power.

"However, after that incident, the Child of Green Light fell into a deep sleep."

"I sense a very powerful force emanating from you. How about we make a deal?"

Lan said calmly and unhurriedly:

"As we all know, Druids are excellent healers, so..."

"I'm very good at using poison."

"If you are interested in this area, I can share all my experience with you."

"But you must complete at least one of my requests."

"First, I married Qin; second, I resolved the problem of the Aether Aberration that plagued the Child of Green Light."

Roger looked at her in silence.

Lan looked at him tenderly, like a beautiful statue.

"Aren't there any other options?"

He suddenly spoke.

Lan's eyes were calm as still water.

"Perhaps there are. But not now."

"Alright, young man, I'm a little tired. You can have Qin show you around Spring Day Valley."

"But you must leave before dark. It is also our rule not to let outsiders stay overnight."

Roger nodded seriously.

The rest of the afternoon passed.

Roger and Jean explored every corner of Spring Day Valley together.

This place is so beautiful, it's like a fairyland.

Although the indigenous people of Spring Day Valley are aloof, they give off a reliable and reassuring feeling.

Roger didn't forget the important matter either.

He tried to use the Ultimate Hunter to locate the Drop Pod.

However, the route provided by the Ultimate Hunter is very confusing.

Sometimes it's even self-contradictory.

This is a phenomenon where tracking is severely disrupted.

He glanced at the towering tree and finally gave up the pursuit.

It was evening.

Roger quietly left Spring Day Valley.

At sunset.

Qin waved goodbye to him, the scenery behind her as beautiful as an oil painting.

That instant.

It was etched into Roger's memory.

Nighttime.

Roger climbed the cliff next to Spring Day Valley.

The clouds are very thick tonight.

The moonlight was sparse.

But under the gaze of True Sight.

The entire Spring Day Valley below is laid out before you:...

The sea of flowers on the hillside withered silently.

The piles of white bones beneath were exposed.

On the massive windmill, there were bloodied corpses that kept bleeding endlessly.

The night wind in the valley was mournful, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

One by one, these zombie-like monsters are numbly following their instincts from their previous lives.

The towering tree has long since withered.

Only the thick branches remain.

The deer and alpacas resting under the tree were suddenly awakened from their sweet dreams.

But they were already surrounded by monsters that looked like living corpses.

The monsters pounced, grabbed the animals by the neck, and quickly devoured them.

Looking at the entire Spring Day Valley.

It was all this Hell scene! No.

There is still a peaceful place.

Roger's gaze pierced through all the fog.

In the small hut where he had stayed during the day.

Through the window.

He could see Qin sleeping peacefully in bed.

The entire Spring Day Valley.

She's the only living person left!

It was at this moment.

A hand covered in lividity silently pressed against the window!...

Hint: You have discovered Spring Day Valley at night.

"Sixth Sense: You've discovered a large number of Earthbound Spirit. Something horrific must have happened here, and the druids in the valley are all trapped here."

"Sixth Sense: You can sense their longing for liberation."
