Chapter 298 : Big Fox, Times Have Changed
Afterward, everyone organized the materials some more, confirming that Elucia's analysis was pretty much spot-on.
However, even knowing Caster's plan, everyone still had no good solutions... After all, they couldn't just stop using Rainbow Abyss power altogether, right?
Moreover, at Insolania, Bai Ye had already given her all. And if Caster had been planning ahead, he would definitely have already collected similar intelligence.
"Ugh... the enemy is so scary."
Suling curled up in fear. Zhou Mixue patted her head, saying: "Suling, actually although Caster is scary... we don't need to be overly afraid."
"Oh..."
"Because we're not fighting alone. Not just Elucia and Lonis—even the teachers and classmates at Clear Academy will help us."
"Right, right!"
Hearing her sister say this, the pink-haired girl's eyes brightened immediately: "Although that General Caster has lived for over a thousand years and conducted some terrifying experiments, if it's the knowledge stored at Clear Academy, everyone's learning combined together might not be inferior to his."
"Yes, exactly."
......
Don't look at how Zhou Mixue usually seemed to rarely care for her sister, but when things got tense, she would display her big sister demeanor to take care of the juniors.
But...
What about Elucia?
This mischievous little loli not only didn't sympathize with Lonis, but actually got worse!
......
"Lonis, how about it? I analyzed the enemy's plan—aren't I amazing?"
"Ugh... amazing is amazing..."
"Then next I'm going to sit on your shoulders and ride the maid horse."
"Wh-what!"
"Pay attention to my control method. If I pinch the left fox ear it means go left, pinch the right means go right, press both down means brake, lift both up means accelerate."
"There's no such control method!!!"
"Well then, start the engine~"
Without even giving her time to object, Elucia directly used Lonis's fox tail to climb onto her shoulders.
Her black-stockinged legs hung down from her shoulders, pressing against Lonis's chest; while the little loli's hands grabbed onto Lonis's head.
Lonis had experienced something similar once in Snow Kingdom's village, but at that time she hadn't adapted to her body yet and directly dropped Elucia. Now with the fox tail's support, she wouldn't fall over.
"Little fox, run fast~"
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
With her ears being kneaded by Elucia, Lonis could only be forced to act as a human cushion, carrying Elucia around.
However...
Maybe Elucia's behavior was really mischievous?
Although knowing about Caster's terror, Lonis didn't feel any despair... After all, what Zhou Mixue said made sense.
Everyone faced the same predicament, so even if the road ahead was very difficult, there would be companions to bear it together.
This was the benefit of being a hero... Although she wasn't strong herself, she had many companions.
Looking at General Caster in contrast, although he was crazy and had a thousand years of cultivation, he was just one person. It was impossible for anyone to stand by his side to "accompany" him in realizing his plans.
......
......
And gazing at everyone, the eight-tailed big fox also smiled slightly, curiously asking Elucia: "So, after knowing Caster's plan, what do you plan to do next?"
"Need you ask? Of course we're going to destroy his plan~~ The power represented by Cold Abyss has already been controlled by him, right?"
"Yes, because the Post-Apocalyptic Independent Kingdom from a thousand years ago was built on the foundation of Cold Abyss."
"Oh~~"
"That's located in the capital of the Post-Apocalyptic Independent Kingdom, the Ruins City—Elstu. However, during these thousand years of geological changes, the surroundings of Ruins City have been covered by the Sea of Ice and Lava."
"Covered?"
"Yes, that's not a place that can be easily traversed. Even I would be crying in pain if I advanced there too long."
"Wait, Miss Eight-Tailed Fox, you mean... you tried walking into lava?"
"Of course. Didn't I say? I have some old grudges with Caster. Since I don't have pain cells anyway, I wanted to destroy one of his important strongholds... But I still underestimated the danger of the lava sea—even one of my tails was destroyed."
The big fox wagged her tail, seeming somewhat unwilling.
But Elucia smiled thoughtfully, saying: "Hehe, Eight-Tailed Fox... Although you've provided some very important intelligence, why do I feel like you have some plan?"
"No no, I'm a very simple Eight-Tailed Fox, not scheming at all, not cunning at all!"
"Lonis, turn left, I'm taking everyone to leave the fox cave!"
"Ah ah, really! Must you make someone state their ultimate purpose? Wuu... it's me! I want to use Cold Abyss power!"
"Eh!?"
The Eight-Tailed Fox's words stunned all the girls.
......
"Actually, you also need someone to master Cold Abyss power, right? And besides me, I don't think there's anyone else in this world who could obtain Cold Abyss power."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because although the Post-Apocalyptic Independent Kingdom went astray in its final period, its founding intentions were still good... However, I can't explain this clearly to you right now. I'll tell you slowly on the road."
The eight-tailed big fox said confidently, as if certain everyone would take her to Cold Abyss:
"Moreover, I also know a secret route to Ruins City. As long as you advance from there, you won't need to worry about threats from the lava sea."
"What route?"
"Tentacle Beast Path. Although it's filled with tentacle monsters, it's much safer compared to the lava sea. The reason I had you send someone through the ** cage was also a test for you mortals... And now the test results show you've passed."
......
The Eight-Tailed Fox proudly puffed out her chest, seeming to want to appreciate everyone's surprised and envious gazes.
But Elucia?
Just pinched the little fox's ear, saying: "Sigh, indeed big breasts, small brain. Little fox, let's not bother with this guy anymore and hurry home."
"Wait, don't leave!"
Elucia's turn made the big fox directly hug Lonis's big tail. That shameless attitude was just like an old fox who wouldn't let go after seeing food.
"Why should we wait?"
"Don't you trust me? The Tentacle Beast Path really is the safest route and can save you a lot of time! If you don't trust me, I can lead the way in front."
"Sigh, Big Fox God... I don't distrust you, but times have changed~~"
"Changed...?"
"Who still travels by walking these days? We'll use the Time Shuttle to pass directly through the lava sea!"
Patting Lonis's big ear, the little loli said very disdainfully.
