220: Chapter 217: rmaid Replica 220: Chapter 217: rmaid Replica Then Mu Turtle Ying quietly squatted at the entrance of the Replica gate, secretly peeking inside.
At the sa ti inside the Replica gate, a little head sneakily peeked out.
One looked up to see half a swaying fish tail, the other looked down to see half a turtle shell.
“lidhu!”
A humanoid creature with a fish tail and holding a rake swam out from the woods and yelled sothing their way.
Mu Ying tilted her head, What did she say?
Also, could this not be a rmaid?
The rmaids she had read about in the witch magic school’s archives had a human upper body but seed not to look like this!
The upper half of the rmaids in the archives looked almost like humans, but this humanoid creature, though its upper body bore feminine traits similar to human females and had hair, had blue skin with fins on the sides of its face and arms.
It was quite different from humans, but undeniably, she was still beautiful, a far cry from the Koutao Fishn at the Coastal City port who looked simply like fish with legs—nothing pleasant to look at.
For now, let’s call her a rmaid.
She was coming their way, but not toward Mu Ying; she was simply curious about the turtle overhead, which was the main attraction.
Seeing the rmaid’s tail, the little fish tail wiggling above evidently belonged to another rmaid, although she had stretched her upper body outside of the Replica.
Though it appeared to be a Light Gate, in reality, it was two spaces connected together; the little rmaid couldn’t hear sounds inside the Replica.
Mu Ying silently withdrew her head and decided to explore later after they had left; the ocean was also on the other side, after all, a turtle was nothing unusual.
If she had moved a bit slower just now, she wouldn’t have had to awkwardly bump into the little rmaid.
But so things are simply beyond a turtle’s control.
She was completely held down by a pair of small hands, just having glimpsed the scenery outside the Replica when she was “taken” inside.
If this had been on land, her size wasn’t as large as her turtle teacher’s, but she would still not be sothing a little girl could easily pick up.
Mu Ying struggled, flailing her limbs trying to swim away, using hardly any strength, but the little rmaid still let go of her hands.
It seed the little rmaid was just a child acting mischievously without any malice; Mu Ying wasn’t in a hurry to flee but decided to look around first.
The big rmaid, holding the little rmaid by the ears, spoke in a Language that Mu Ying couldn’t understand, then they both swam towards the woods.
Mu Ying followed behind them.
This forest seed vast; without following them, she might never find where they dwelled.
But after just two minutes of swimming, the two rmaids who had been ahead suddenly disappeared.
Mu Ying could swear on her turtle shell that they simply vanished.
She swam to the spot where they disappeared and searched for a long ti, finding nothing unusual; swimming further, it was just an endless forest.
This seemingly normal underwater forest suddenly felt extraordinary.
Mu Ying tried swimming back, but the entrance to the Replica couldn’t be found anymore.
She swam upwards, hoping to reach the top of the forest to see the direction, but the endless trees blocked any view of the Replica’s entrance.
As for above, the light was quite bright, appearing to be shallow water, but when she tried swimming below the waterline, she was stopped.
This must be the boundary of the Replica.
Mu Ying really hadn’t expected to run into so many instances.
She was cautious, yet still took a tumble here.
Who would have thought that there would be a forest within the instance that could make one lose their way?
The forest below must have so issue, for the instance was made up of space fragnts and shouldn’t have been so vast.
She returned to the forest and as she wandered, she slowly realized that the trees were becoming increasingly familiar, almost as if they were all ones she had seen before.
After carefully distinguishing this sense of familiarity, she realized that after a certain period, she seed to encounter the sa trees repeatedly.
She clearly hadn’t changed her direction and had been walking straight ahead.
So, there was only one possibility, she was walking in circles in the forest, and the forest was likely not large at all.
The fact that the hermit crab could leave indicated that the Replica gate was still within this forest; she just hadn’t seen it.
Why hadn’t she seen it?
Mu Ying thought of the fruit stuck on the back of the hermit crab.
Other creatures that entered couldn’t leave, but it could.
Could it be because of that fruit?
Where did the fruit co from?
She had assud it was the fruit borne by these trees but, after walking for so long, she hadn’t seen any fruit on the trees.
Maybe she should revert to human form and try using the North Pointing Skill?
Although Mu Ying had co to the sea to look for ores, she also wanted to seize the opportunity to practice in her turtle form and accumulate so Experience Value.
She didn’t want to revert to human form unless absolutely necessary.
Often switching forms made things convenient for her but didn’t result in much progress in her cultivation.
“dhljdf!”
A voice rose, and she was grabbed by two small hands again.
In her turtle form, Mu Ying had invested all her ability points into defense, and the amplification from Wild Tooth was the sa.
Her defense was very high everywhere except where her shell didn’t cover.
But her speed and attack were basically zero; she could only hunt by the thod of lying in wait.
It was the little rmaid from before again.
Mu Ying really hadn’t noticed when she appeared or where she ca from.
The little rmaid pressed a small fruit onto her turtle shell.
Suddenly, the world in front of Mu Ying changed; the forest wasn’t endless anymore, and not far beside her, there was a cluster of low shrubs very similar to the forest trees, bearing the sa type of fruit that was previously on the hermit crab and now on her.
The forest area was long, but not wide, surrounding a large sea area in the middle.
She could see intersecting coral fields, rmaids working among them, nurous Pearl Clams, and brightly lit caves that seed to be dwelling places of the rmaids.
Above the sea, rmaids were training sharks.
However, all this was just a fleeting glimpse because the kindly little rmaid had taken her beside the Replica gate, tapped her head, and pushed her towards the Replica gate.
Mu Ying hesitated a mont but went through the Replica gate back.
She really wanted to revert to human form and get to know the kind little rmaid and preferably make a friend.
However, she was afraid of scaring her.
Furthermore, she wasn’t sure how long the fruit on her back would work and worried that if a conflict arose and she once again couldn’t see the real vista, she would be at a disadvantage.
So, keeping her harmless turtle form a secret for the ti being was better.
Once out of the instance, she could revert to human form and then cautiously test the waters.
If it didn’t work out, she could still find a place without rmaids to transform into a turtle.
Maybe the little girl could rescue her again, because her thod of pressing the fruit seed quite skilled; perhaps the hermit crab had escaped in the sa way.
