The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1185

Upon hearing this, everyone turned towards the source of the sound, only to find that it was a woman from the Medicina family.

This person appeared to be about the same age as Neera. They were both around twenty four or twenty five years old.

Neera and the others were somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected the Medicina family to send such a frail-looking girl to participate.

However, before they could even react, the woman had already wrapped her arms around Neera's waist with her other hand tightly coiled around the vine.

She glanced at Neera and whispered softly, “Ms. Garcia, hold on to me tightly and never let go.”

After she finished speaking, she flexed her arm and held Neera tightly, swinging them both along the way!

Neera was stunned. Before she could even utter a word, she could feel her body being lifted into the air, and a breeze brushing past her face.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness scared her, causing her to tightly embrace the woman.

Throughout the process, her heart pounded nervously in her chest. Her eyes were tightly shut. She didn't dare to open them.

It felt as if a long time had passed, yet it seemed to be only a few seconds before her feet finally touched the ground again.

“Alright, Ms. Garcia. Everything is fine now.” The woman's indifferent voice rang out again.

Neera was taken aback for a moment. Then, she opened her eyes, and quickly let go of the woman.

To her astonishment, she found herself landed on the other side of the swamp!

This is... simply incredible!

We swung across the swamp like we were in a movie!

And another thing, this girl is incredibly strong. She can actually swing her around with just one hand.

She is so strong...

Soon, Shane, Charles, and the people from the Medicina family, each crossed the swamp one by one.

Neera chose to suppress her shock. Then, she took a glance at her own people. She let out a sigh of relief after seeing that everyone was safe and sound.

Caleb maintained his usual gentle demeanor, smiling as he asked her, “How did you feel just now? Was it thrilling?”

Neera touched her chest, swallowed hard, and replied, “This is really thrilling. If I were to fall into the swamp, that would be the end of me!”

In all her years, she had never imagined that she would experience such incredible events.

At that moment, she realized that she had been too shocked to properly express her gratitude.

“Miss, thank you so much for your help just now. You're truly amazing, I really admire you.” In that moment, she quickly looked at the woman, expressing her sincere gratitude.

The girl, as always, remained calm and composed. Her face was expressionless, as if she was incapable of even forcing out a smile. Yet, thankfully, she spoke with politeness.

“Ms. Garcia, you can simply call me Luna. There is no need for formalities. It's my honor to be able to help you.”

“Luna?” Neera was somewhat surprised after hearing this. “Isn't your surname Medicina? Aren't you from the Medicina family?”

Luna was silent. She just looked down, not making a sound.

Today, she deliberately changed her appearance.

So, Neera didn't recognize her. In fact, she was the one who saved her during the last attack.

Beside them, Caleb, seeing the situation, quickly stepped in to explain, “Hmm, she's not from the Medicina family. She's here to assist me. She's very skilled and can be quite useful.”

“So that's how it is...” Neera nodded in understanding, without giving it much thought.

...

On the other side, the Jennings family and the Logan family had agreed early on to join forces. After entering the dense forest, they had been traveling together.

Stella was completely indifferent to her surroundings. She held a vine in her hand, picked up from God knew where, and impatiently whipped the passing trees.

“It's almost been a day, and there's still no sign of Neera. I have no idea which route she took with her people.”

Howard glanced at her, and smiled casually. “I told you from the start that there was no need to rush into the dense forest. But you wouldn't listen, and now, we can't find anyone at all, can we?”

Stella found his sarcastic remarks most annoying. She shot him a sidelong glance, her tone far from friendly.

“Can't you cut back on the nonsense? Will you die if you don't kick someone when they're down?”

However, Howard didn't mind at all. He chuckled lightly, and didn't take it to heart.

“Alright, alright. There's no need to rush into the dense forest. I've noticed that Neera is taking her sweet time over there. She's probably trying to avoid us, or other family forces, by lagging behind. She's no fool, so she must have her own tactics to evade everyone else.”

Stella sneered, “Does she really think she can avoid me forever? Sooner or later, we're bound to cross paths!”

Howard calmly added, “Hmm, if she got the white flag first, then any subsequent encounters would be meaningless, wouldn't they?”

Upon hearing these words, Stella's face took on a rather unpleasant expression.

“Who are you teaming up with, anyway? Why so much idle chatter! Hurry up and analyze where she might have gone, so we can get there as soon as possible. When the time comes...”

The sun had set and darkness had enveloped the surroundings.

Neera felt an inexplicable chill down her spine, and couldn't help but shiver.

Beside her, Shane noticed and asked with concern. “What's wrong? Are you cold?”

Neera shook her head. “No, I'm fine. It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest.”

Shane also said, “Hmm, I think so too. If we continue to travel rashly in this kind of weather, it could be dangerous.”

Before long, they found a spacious spot, brought over some clean stones, set down their backpacks, and one by one, they sat down to rest.
