Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After Stella finished breakfast, she stopped Catherine from taking the mirror to class and livestreaming her lesson, and ruthlessly disconnected the connection.

She packed her things, left the hotel, strolled around the city, bought some things that interested her, and then wandered out of the city.

Although Catherine had made her statement beforehand, not all the rebels would listen to her. The rebels on Charlie's side, knowing the news, would not stop them, turning a blind eye to their actions.

As a result, Stella discovered quite a few tails.

Stella didn't tolerate these clueless people at all. She took out her notebook and charcoal pencil and started sketching.

Fortunately, these people weren't following her closely; they only knew that Stella was writing and drawing, but they didn't know the specifics.

Stella finished drawing and reached her destination.

She found a long-abandoned magic circle in the wilderness, placed a few magic gems on it, and disappeared right under the noses of the rebels.

By the time the rebels arrived and figured out where she had gone, Stella had already left once again.

After several such changes of location, the rebel god completely lost track of her, and Stella arrived at a remote border town.

This small town is located in a remote area and has no special mineral or plant resources, so its economy is not very developed.

If there's anything special about it, it's that there's a valley on the outskirts of the city that doesn't belong to any noble family.

This valley is quiet and sparsely populated, and the scenery looks quite nice, but no one dares to covet it. The reason is simple: no one who goes in ever comes out again, so it is also known by the locals as the Valley of Death.

Strangely, both ordinary people and nobles in the area deliberately concealed and erased its existence, so it remained unknown outside.

Stella came here because she had found a book when she was among the elves.

The book says that this valley was once a place where gods stayed, and in the books of the elves, it is called the Valley of Ruins.

Stella was a little curious, so she took this opportunity to come and see for herself.

Although there was a map in the book, Stella had a strange premonition as she walked out of the valley, as if she knew innately which direction she should go.

Stella climbed the mountain along a narrow path and soon arrived at a dense forest, which was somewhat different from what was described in the book.

Stella was about to go in when she suddenly felt that countless eyes were watching her from the dense forest, but when she paid attention to observe, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Stella stopped in front of the dense forest.

Just as she was wondering whether to continue or find out the problem first, the hair clip on her head suddenly moved and turned back into a small flower crown.

Stella paused, touched the small flower crown, and the next moment, a crystal mirror with a light stone inlaid on the back appeared in her hand.

The fluorite atop the mirror, serving as a marker, emitted a soft, moonlit light.

Stella nervously tidied her hair, pulled down her hood, revealing her face for the first time, before answering the call.

"Stella, good day."

The Elf King's melodious voice came from the mirror, and his handsome, otherworldly face appeared before Stella.

"Your Majesty, good day."

Stella replied first, then added in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, I miss you so much! Do you miss me?"

The Elf King looked at Stella with a gentle expression and replied, "I miss you very much, Stella."

“Your voice is so beautiful,” Stella said, touching her face. “It’s making me blush.”

The Elf King asked somewhat helplessly, "Where have you traveled to already?"

“We just arrived at the Ruins Valley,” Stella recounted her previous experiences with Catherine.

After she finished speaking with great enthusiasm, she suddenly cleared her throat: "Your Majesty, I traveled with Catherine in the Eugene family's carriage. This can't be considered a lack of experience, can it?"

“Of course not,” the Elf King said confidently. “You have simply chosen a different path from your fellow Elfs.”

"Besides, you already have a deep understanding of the human race. Even if you eat and live with ordinary humans, it won't help your growth much."

That's the truth, and it's true that it's a little exaggerated.

However, just as Stella has a filter for the Elf King, the Elf King also has a soft-focus effect when he looks at Stella.

Although they were all his kind, and he treated them all equally as king, the Elf King always had a bit more personal affection for Stella.

Stella felt the Elf King's favoritism and smiled more brightly than the flowers blooming on the trees in the dense forest.

"With the king's words, I feel relieved. Once we leave the Ruins Valley, I'll quicken my pace and try to get back as soon as possible."

The Elf King nodded reservedly, but the corners of his lips subtly curved upwards.

After saying what they wanted to say, neither the Elf King nor Stella disconnected the communication.

The Elf King asked first, "Stella, where in the Valley of Ruins are you?"

"According to the book, it should be Stonehenge, but..."

Stella turned the mirror around and showed the Elf King the surroundings.

"So much time has passed that I don't see any stones here anymore, only countless tall trees. These trees must have been growing for many years, with a thick layer of leaves piled up on the ground."

As Stella was speaking, the Elf King suddenly stood up solemnly: "Stella, step back."

Stella didn't know why he said that, so she quickly left her current position and retreated more than ten meters away.

The next moment, a tree root the size of a bowl burst out of the ground with a loud bang, breaking right through the spot where Stella had been standing.

Stella's face fell.

Even if she was communicating with the Elf King, it was impossible for her not to notice the movement beneath her feet.

If the Elf King hadn't warned her in time, she would have been in a rather embarrassing situation, even if she had managed to dodge.

Something must have influenced her judgment.

Stella frowned slightly and began to observe.

The Light Stone behind Stella's mirror lit up, emitting a blinding white light.

The light reflected on the ground formed the trajectory of a magic circle.

The magic circle took shape, and in a short while, the Elf King emerged from it.

Stella flicked her wrist, putting away the mirror, her eyes sparkling: "Your Majesty!"

She didn't ask why the Elf King had come, because she already knew the answer in her heart.

The Elf King had barely smiled when his eyes narrowed, and he leaned in and pulled Stella away from where they were, to a more distant place.

Stella calmed down and looked back, discovering that the spot where they had just been standing also had a large hole torn open by tree roots.

"Your Majesty, what kind of tree is this? I can accept it, but you're standing right here and it still attacks us. This... doesn't seem right."

As the King of Spirits, he enjoys a uniquely high level of popularity among wood-type creatures.

In fact, elves and fairies were originally supposed to be the same.

Plants and trees are the birthplace of elves and fairies, and their most loyal allies, providing them with shelter and coexisting with them.

It was highly unusual that these trees attacked Stella and also displayed aggression before the Elf King.

“It’s not trees that are attacking us,” said the Elf King. “I thought they were extinct, but I didn’t expect them to gather in the Ruins Valley.”

“Extinction?” Stella glanced at them again, still unable to find any difference between them and normal trees.

She focused her gaze on the tree roots that were exposed above the ground, and after careful observation, she finally noticed something was wrong.

The trees on the ground are indeed real trees, but the roots may not be real tree roots.

These things that look like woody tree roots are actually huge insects.

They live under giant trees, disguising themselves as tree roots to hunt.

They are very good at hiding, their bodies are covered in wood and earth elements, which are also the most abundant in such forests.

Therefore, they can move silently in the soil and remain completely undetected.

But such a big bug...

Stella leaned closer to the Elf King.
