Chapter 286 : Hot Springs of the Underground Volcano
"Hmph, damn monsters!"
If possible, Elucia didn't want to make such a big commotion either.
After all, although this underground ruin was old, who knew if there might be some terrifying monsters inside?
If she accidentally awakened some ancient guardians, even if she could defeat them, it would add many troubles.
However...
From the moment Elucia stepped into this ruin, these monsters swarmed over like sharks smelling blood.
Even hiding was useless, so Elucia could only "reluctantly" take out her black sword and begin cutting them down one by one like slicing vegetables.
"Wow, Student Elucia is amazing... what kind of technique is that? Suling wants to learn too."
"Suling, this isn't something you can learn. Don't interfere with Junior Elucia's battle, we should just watch properly."
"Oh..."
Although held by her sister, Suling still watched Elucia's figure with curiosity.
And those humanoid monsters whose bodies were covered with both metal and muscle?
Although their strength wasn't weak, before Elucia they weren't even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth. The girl charged valiantly into the center of the ruins, saying as she walked:
"Where is that stupid maid Lonis? Hurry up and come out! If only a head remains, howl twice so I can determine your location."
"Who would have only a head remaining!"
Regardless, after reuniting with her companions, Lonis breathed a long sigh of relief.
After all, everyone was fine, and Elucia looked very spirited too.
But...
"Hah, Lonis, what's wrong with you? Did you roll around in a mud pit?"
"Wuah!"
Lonis was stunned, only then realizing that the slime and dirt on her body hadn't been cleaned off yet!
It was just because Princess Sethilu had been so considerate toward her that Lonis had the illusion she was perfectly fine.
"Hmph, don't come near me until you're cleaned up."
"Ugh..."
Seeing Lonis's tail droop, Suling quickly ran forward to comfort her: "Little fox, don't worry. After we get out later, we'll clean up."
"Yes..."
"I also accidentally fell down and got a bit dirty."
......
......
Things turned out this way.
After the girls regrouped, their combat power became even more formidable.
Although these creations in the ruins weren't weak—Lonis couldn't even defeat one—under everyone's cooperation, these monsters couldn't get close at all.
However, what Lonis didn't know was...
Elucia was somewhat angry at the moment, so she vented all her fury on these monsters.
(Hmph, damn little fox, she doesn't look scared at all!)
Elucia had originally thought that when Lonis fell alone into such a dark place, even if she didn't panic and wet herself, she would probably cry until her eyes were swollen, right?
But in reality... this little fox seemed perfectly fine, not feeling afraid at all. Instead, she even seemed somewhat excited and energetic.
This way, wouldn't her being so anxious to see her make her look like a fool?
Just needing Princess Sethilu's company was enough—really easy to satisfy~~
......
......
But although she was dissatisfied, Elucia wouldn't show it at all... because that would prove she was a tsundere!
So the unlucky ones were those monsters.
Blood and flesh flying, electric light flashing.
After advancing for an hour, everyone finally passed through a teleportation device and broke out of this underground ruin.
Currently, they could be said to be safe.
However, although Elucia's fighting style was clean and efficient, it was also bold and sweeping, causing much of the monsters' blood to splatter onto her body.
Black and fishy.
The girl's stockings had been soiled, and some rotten flesh had stuck to her hair.
During battle she might not have felt anything, but once idle, it became somewhat heavy and dirty.
"Hah... damn, so dirty... Lonis, quickly bring your big tail over here to use as a towel."
"Wuah..."
"That's more like it... wait, why is the tail so dirty too? Damn, such a dirty little fox might as well be thrown away."
"I haven't cleaned my body either, of course I'm dirty!"
Lonis seemed somewhat aggrieved, but just then, Bai Ye suddenly raised her hand and said excitedly:
"Everyone, Sister Elucia! I sensed a volcanic hot spring ahead!"
"Hot spring..."
"Yes, it seems to contain many good minerals. Shall we go take a look?"
Under Bai Ye's guidance, everyone climbed mountain paths for about another hour.
The girls were already filthy, and now covered in sweat, their entire bodies looked even dirtier... Sweat mixed with dust dripped viscously from their stockings onto the ground.
Even Elucia looked like a refugee, dirty all over.
But hard work pays off. After the long climb, what finally appeared before the girls was a vast hot spring!
Bubbling steam drifted from the lake surface, and Bai Ye just crouched down to observe for a moment before saying happily:
"Great! The water quality is acceptable. No need for moss purification—everyone can go directly in to wash."
"Wonderful, Suling wants to go."
The pink-haired girl stretched her arms, about to rush into the pool impatiently.
However...
"Suling, you can't be so silly! If you don't even take off your clothes, you'll easily catch cold when you come out."
Zhou Mixue hugged her little sister helplessly.
"Oh, that's true..."
"At least take off your outer clothes."
"Mm-hmm, should I take off the stockings too?"
"Of course."
After saying this, Zhou Suling and Zhou Mixue began to unhesitatingly prepare to remove their clothes.
And such behavior was undoubtedly very impactful for Lonis!
Because...
This was a hot spring!
Although her companions were still wearing underwear, the warm water flow, wet girls, and being together in a hot spring with everyone... no matter from what angle you considered it, this was a boy's paradise!
And besides, she might be able to see Elucia's body~~
Lonis felt as if her nosebleed was about to flow out, however...
"Little fox, you're not allowed to go."
"Eh?"
"We're all going to soak in the hot spring, so we need someone to wash and watch the clothes. As this young lady's exclusive maid, go wash clothes over there."
After saying this, Elucia pointed to the other side... At a position dozen meters from this large hot spring was another small hot spring.
Although the two were connected, sitting in the small hot spring, Lonis wouldn't be able to see everyone's bodies.
Lonis knew this was Elucia's training of her... Precisely because she had a desire to control her, Elucia wouldn't allow her to soak in hot springs with the girls, right?
"Ugh... I, I understand."
"Um, Sister Elucia! Let Bai Ye handle washing clothes."
"No way, the little fox must do it! Bai Ye has worked hard too, let's soak in the hot spring together first."
"Ugh..."
Seeing Elucia's resolute command, Lonis could only take everyone's clothes and reluctantly go wash them.
