Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 398 Little Stone and Little Ginseng

<>

"Stone...don't sleep..."

A soft voice, filled with panic and fear, rang out, but did not wake Yu Liu, who had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The leaves drooped limply. Although the stone blocked most of the sunlight, the temperature of the sunlight that had been shining down in the past few days had become obviously abnormal. The air temperature had long exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, and the scorching sun baked the earth, making everything look listless.

The little ginseng twitched its somewhat dehydrated leaves. Actually, it was alright here, and it was fortunate that it was in the mountains and forests, with trees everywhere, which maintained a temperature that was barely enough for plants to survive. People who had gone into the mountains to escape the summer heat before said that the temperature outside the forest was much higher than inside, and many plants had withered and died, and some animals had also been scorched to death.

It's just horrible.

When did the sun become so deadly? Sunlight is clearly a good thing.

The little ginseng leaned listlessly against the rock, looking somewhat half-dead.

The scorching weather continued for many days. Unable to absorb water, the little ginseng's leaves turned completely yellow and withered, barely managing to stay alive. Stone had been sleeping all day, and he was very worried.

"Stone……"

He touched the protruding part of the stone on his head with his withered leaves. That part was very rough, completely out of place with the smooth surface of the rest of the stone. The little ginseng felt more and more heartbroken as she touched it, because that part of the stone had been smashed off by the ginseng harvester to protect her. The stone had become a spirit, and because of this lost part of its body, she had been losing more and more energy lately.

The little ginseng was afraid that the stone wouldn't be able to persevere. He didn't know what the consequences would be, but he was still afraid.

More and more people are heading to the forest to escape the summer heat. It's a tourist area, and although forests have many safety risks, their advantage lies in the abundance of trees and shade, which helps lower the temperature. People outside can't stand the heat at all; once they leave air-conditioned rooms, they can't even last fifteen minutes in the sun.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the little stones and ginseng in the forest, the doomsday prophecy gradually began to circulate among humans in the outside world.

Many people believe that the sun becoming hotter will mark the beginning of the end times.

However, these comments quickly disappeared, and some suspected that the government was behind it and prevented their spread. In any case, everyone was mentally prepared for the possible disaster that was about to happen.

No matter how well you prepare mentally, you still can't accept it immediately when you actually face it.

Two weeks later, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief that they had finally survived the daytime heat, the moon that rose in the sky gradually turned blood red, carrying an ominous feeling.

In the past few days, people who had been bathed in sunlight have been developing high fevers one after another, and hospitals are overflowing. After the blood moon appeared, these people seemed to be controlled, their limbs stiffening as they slowly left their hospital beds and walked under the blood moon. In the moonlight, they underwent mutations.

They became incredibly ugly, their skin turned grayish-black, their eyes became cloudy, sharp teeth grew in their mouths, and bluish-black fingernails sprouted from their hands.

They bite anyone they see, their expressions frenzied and tireless.

On this day, the end times began.

In the forest, the little ginseng survived another day. Its leaves could no longer move and were completely out of its control. Only its roots, firmly planted in the ground, barely retained a trace of life.

He leaned against the stone with lingering affection, feeling that he should leave before it. He was sad and helpless; he hadn't had a chance to repay the stone for saving his life, nor had he fulfilled his wish to protect it properly. He was truly unwilling to leave like this.

The moonlight shone down, and the red moonlight shone through the branches, falling perfectly on the stone and him.

The stone, missing half its body, could barely block out some of the light. When the light shone on the two of them, a strange change occurred.

The ginseng's withered yellow leaves quickly fell off, and trembling green buds emerged from among the withered yellow leaves, rapidly growing into broad leaves. The root system underground grew rapidly and gradually took on a human shape.

Unable to control his body, he overturned the stones and slowly pulled out his roots hidden underground. Under the blood-red moonlight, the human-shaped roots rapidly grew and eventually condensed into a sphere of light as tall as a person.

At the same time, the stone, like the ginseng, was illuminated by the blood-red moonlight and solidified into a human shape.

When the blood moon faded, only two unconscious people remained. One was Yu Liu, dressed in a plain gray tracksuit, her long hair loosely tied with a hair tie, fast asleep on the grass. The other was a boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin, gentle features, and a sunny disposition. His slightly parted lips revealed small canine teeth; he must have looked very handsome when he smiled.

He had soft green hair, and if Yu Liu were awake at this moment, she would definitely laugh at him for being "forced" to wear a green hat.

After the little ginseng transformed into human form, its clothes were also green. It was unclear whether it was because it was connected to Yu Liu, but its clothes were also in the style of sportswear.

It's all green from head to toe.

The next day, the sun was as scorching as ever. Yu Liu was the first to wake up; she had calculated the time carefully, having spent the previous days resting and recuperating. The ginseng harvester's fall onto the rock had seriously injured her, and even though she had been recovering, she couldn't use her willpower carelessly, otherwise the possessed body wouldn't be able to withstand it.

It seems I'm destined to become a burden this time.

Yu Liu sighed silently, turned to look at the little ginseng beside her, and almost choked on her own saliva.

What the hell is this?

He has a sunny and handsome appearance, but what kind of look is this green hair and all-green outfit? With this green outfit, you might think that the little ginseng has seen through the vanity of the world.

Yu Liu looked away, finding it rather unbearable: "It's a bit too much for my eyes!"

She couldn't help but complain.

Just then, the little ginseng woke up.

He was a little confused. After waking up, he slowly groped his way to sit up, fumbling with himself, seemingly not understanding why he had become like this.

"What's going on?"

He uttered a question, then tugged at his clothes, frowning slightly in discomfort. Looking up, he saw Yu Liu quietly watching him.

He had never seen Yu Liu in human form before, but the moment he saw her, his intuition told him the answer.

"Stone!! Stone, you're awake!!! That's great!!"
