Chapter 242: Chapter 117: The Scope is the Whole World

"Sister... I’m so scared..."

The trembling little fairy huddled in the tree hollow, which was packed with various small magical creatures and beasts... For example, little fairies and wild goblins had all gathered in this large tree hollow.

They could even see some terrified, squeaking White Ball Monkeys, some seemingly intelligent butterflies, and many insect magic beasts and bird magic beasts. Normally, they would be in predator-prey relationships, but at this moment, they managed to coexist peacefully.

There were even giant bees... Their original habitat had been taken over by the rapidly proliferating magic beasts since the first day of this season, which led them to migrate here.

The notorious and aggressive giant bees did not display any intention of bullying or oppressing the smaller magic beasts. Instead, they buzzed anxiously, as if something dreadful was about to happen... On this last day of spring.

"Don’t make a sound."

A slightly larger little fairy said this as they fearfully watched the outside. Even though they couldn’t see much due to the angle, they could hear continuous howling outside the tree hollow.

Wolves, dogs, lions, leopards, bears... Even the normally docile horses and deer wandered with blood-red eyes, constantly emerging from the depths of the forest as if they were endless.

Conflicts and collisions often broke out among them, and once they encountered each other, a fight would immediately start... Whether herbivores or carnivores, they would continuously bite each other’s bodies and devour their flesh.

Ordinary non-magic animals seemed entirely unaffected... Unfortunately, many of their kin had already been killed and eaten at the onset of the chaos, with the remaining ones in hiding.

Just like the little fairies and other magic beasts and creatures trying hard to hide at this moment.

"What’s happening?"

"Waaah~"

"Why have those big ones become so fierce?"

"And there are so many more of them."

The little fairies were the most numerous species in the tree hollow, whispering and peeking outside... Their voices were not loud enough to draw attention.

A wolf seemed to have noticed something, standing before the tree hollow... Its red, blood-filled eyes stared into the darkness of the tree hollow but saw nothing.

"..."

All the magical creatures and beasts held their breath, not daring to make any sound... It should have been like this, but—

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

"Squeak!!!"

Startled by the giant wolf’s breath, a few terrified White Ball Monkeys screamed loudly, drawing the attention of the rampaging magical beasts outside... The atmosphere became completely tense.

All the magical creatures and beasts glared angrily at the White Ball Monkeys.

"Awooooo!!!!"

The beasts outside started howling and surged towards the tree hollow. Wolves’ snouts kept probing inside, and the giant wolf’s massive tongue tore through the leaves and branches used to block the view, nearly dragging away a little fairy inside.

"Squeak squeak!"

"Waaah~"

"Don’t eat me! (╯﹏╰)"

"..."

"Aaaaaah!"

In the midst of the panic, a little fairy was caught by a long, slender tongue. She clung fearfully to a vine inside the tree hollow, desperately trying to avoid being dragged away, kicking her legs... But to no avail.

"Help! Help!"

Amid the little fairy’s cries, a giant bee decisively flew out, its stinger jabbing into the long tongue. The unidentified magic beast recoiled in pain, flinging the little fairy aside and retracting its tongue.

"Thank... Thank you!"

"Buzz buzz~"

The friendship was heartwarming, but the crisis was far from over... If nothing akin to a "Mechanical Divine" intervention happened, they were all doomed.

"Thunk... thunk... thunk..."

Huge footsteps approached, undoubtedly belonging to the giant bear... With such destructive power, the trunk would be snapped, and they would be dug out and eaten.

*There really was no hope at all...*

All the small magical creatures and beasts felt despair, but whether it was an illusion or not, the surrounding air seemed to be getting hotter... Almost to a scorching degree.

"Boom~"

The sound of flames bursting interrupted the giant bear’s footsteps, replaced by a roar of agony: "Roooooaaar?!?!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Then came successive blasts of flames, and the magical creatures and beasts hiding in the tree hollow didn’t know what was happening; they could only see the constant flashes of fire and feel the surging heat waves.

Of course, the agonized screams of different types of rampaging magical beasts were also unmistakable.

"..."

"..."

"Awooo~rua(X﹏X)..."

With the last scream, the clearing outside fell into a brief silence. The small magical creatures and beasts inside held their breath in fear, and then...

A young man bent down to enter the tree hollow, with a spirited little fairy on his shoulder...

"Wow! It’s Sister!!"

"Yay, she brought a human to rescue us!"

"Amazing!"

"..."

Yila looked at the cheering little fairies without saying anything. He then turned to the wary magical beasts and, brushing off the beast blood from his battle, said, "You all seem quite rational... It seems only mammalian magic beasts have gone berserk."

Yila glanced at the White Ball Monkeys hugging each other in tears of joy, pondered for a moment, and then corrected himself, "No, it appears quadruped creatures have gone berserk."

He then signaled the creatures in the tree hollow to follow him, saying, "Let’s escape quickly. Those magic beasts will soon regroup... If you don’t mind, you can follow me to the Demon King Territory and return to the forest after things are resolved."

Saying this, Yila took the lead to leave the tree hollow. The little fairies immediately followed, while the other magical beasts exchanged glances... Honestly, they couldn’t fully understand the Universal Language.

But they felt that Yila meant them no harm, so they quickly followed him out of the tree hollow... and were met by the sight of charred corpses strewn across the ground.

Whether Camel Wolves or the dangerous mountain bears, it seemed they had all been killed by the young man before them... As he waited for them, the young man was contemplating something.

Yila looked towards the turbulent distance...

"This is probably not just a disaster for magical creatures... Is the Silver Moon Tree Court facing the same? In other words..."

"Is this a world-wide crisis?"
