Chapter 49 Suddenly Kidnapped by the Fox
Chapter 49 Suddenly Kidnapped by the Fox
"Magical Cannon—Fire!!"
"Pfft!!!!"
Inside the Rongcheng Wetland Park, the deafening roar of the magic cannon echoed through the sky.
The magical dust from the cannon muzzle drifted away, and Iris looked intently at the mud monster lying motionless on the ground, letting out a soft breath.
"Phew... I finally defeated this guy..."
It is now the tenth minute of the battle with the monster.
The mud monster in the lotus pond finally collapsed.
"Iris! Well done!"
The hyacinth poked its head out from the nearby grass, looking dusty and grimy, and cheered loudly at the iris in the sky, which had put away its magic cannon.
So I really underestimated this mud monster.
Hyacinth muttered to herself as she used magic to remove the dust and water stains from her body.
Ten minutes ago, I confidently charged towards the strange man.
This is also Hyacinth's consistent fighting style—no matter who you're facing, just charge in and get into close combat first!
Then the Mud Monster came and dealt them a heavy blow.
"That Xin Yuehu guy must have done it on purpose!"
"kick!"
Hyacinth stepped forward, lifted her Martin boot, and kicked the lifeless mud monster lying on the ground in front of her.
"Why did they have to make something so disgusting!"
"Oh dear... don't be angry, Hyacinth, we've already defeated it, haven't we...?"
The iris landed on the ground and said with a wry smile.
Then, Hua Ling recalled the image of Hyacinth being grabbed by the Mud Monster and shoved headfirst into the lotus pond.
I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare.
"I'm so angry! I feel like I smell terrible!"
After using magic to clean off all the dust and water stains from her body, Hyacinth still made no attempt to hide the disgust on her face.
No matter who it is, if they get slapped into the pool by this mud-covered monster, they're bound to be in a bad mood.
Iris continued to comfort her companion, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the fallen monster.
Based on his own magical perception, this strange person did indeed bear traces of Heart Moon Fox's magic, and should have been summoned by her.
However, Bai Ling found Xin Yuehu's magic for summoning strange people quite bizarre:
[The magical girls use astral magic, but as far as I know, there's no such magic as summoning monsters in the astral plane!]
I'll be back in the Astral Plane for a couple of days to do some research, and I'll be right back!
These are the exact words spoken by the sable elf when she returned to the Astral Plane seeking aid.
"Snap!!"
Raising her greatsword, Hyacinth angrily slashed at the mud monster a few more times before letting out a soft snort as if she had finally vented her anger.
"How infuriating! We originally planned to give you special training in flying skills tonight, but that Xin Yuehu had to do something bad at this time."
"This lotus pond was actually quite beautiful, but she's ruined it!"
Upon hearing this, Iris couldn't help but look around.
—The pavilion, neatly severed by a greatsword, and the stone pavement covered with sword marks.
The broken plants, destroyed by the hyacinth struggling wildly after falling into the water, make up everything that can be seen around us.
I feel like you, Xiao Feng, are causing more damage to the surrounding environment.
The iris had something on its mind, but dared not say it.
"Anyway, let's call it a day!"
After confirming that the monster had turned into a puddle of mud and shriveled up, Hyacinth sheathed her greatsword and spoke to the iris beside her.
"Hmm. Today was quite relaxing." Iris nodded gently.
It's probably because there's no Heart Moon Fox or that Hellcat.
The teamwork between herself and Hyacinth became increasingly seamless. As long as they weren't facing opponents who were also magical girls, dealing with a monster would be more than enough.
...provided that Xin Yuehu does not appear.
The thought of that little golden fox filled Iris with mixed feelings.
Hyacinth said she was a cunning fox, but she didn't feel that way at all.
My impression of the Heart Moon Fox is that it's a mischievous little fox who's also very cute.
But this strange feeling...
"Why……"
The iris sighed.
It seems that I've really had a big problem with my mental state lately.
Not only do I have strange dreams every night, but the content of my dreams is also exactly the same—
This way or that way, this kind or that kind, so on and so forth.
Even hyacinths have appeared in my dreams.
Thinking of those strange dreams, Iris felt her face burning and quickly shook her head to dispel the dangerous thought.
Could this be the root cause of my strange state?
This kind of thinking must be dispelled!
"Speaking of which..."
The iris looked at the hyacinth beside her, leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
"Xiaofeng, do you have Sister Tianqing's contact information?"
"Sister Tianqing?... "
Nan Xiaofeng blinked in surprise.
"Why do you need Tianqing's contact information, Hualing?"
"I need to talk to her about something, Xiaofeng, do you know how to contact her?"
"this……"
Nan Xiaofeng scratched his cheek, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Sorry, I really don't have any, but Sister Jiayu definitely will. Shall I ask her for you today?"
"Yes, thank you."
"No need to thank me, we're friends, helping you is the right thing to do—"
The voice just fell.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly rang out from the sky, startling the two into hastily summoning their wands and weapons again.
*Swish!*
"Congratulations to you two for defeating the Mud Monster! I'm so proud of you~"
Heart Moon Fox?!
But there's absolutely no magical reaction from Xin Yuehu around, so how did she...?
A cardboard box with flapping wings above their heads caught their attention.
"Is that a weirdo?" Iris asked in confusion.
No, it doesn't have the same powerful astral magic as the monster; it should just be an ordinary summon.
The sound was coming from a tape recorder inside the cardboard box.
"but!"
The voice of Xin Yuehu came from the tape recorder.
"If you two haven't left yet, then the gifts I carefully prepared for you should have already taken effect. Have you noticed?"
"A carefully prepared..." "A gift..."
Hyacinth stared blankly around.
The lotus pond was unusually quiet as dusk fell; not even the chirping of insects could be heard.
It didn't seem like there was any "surprise" at all.
Not to mention that the sound was just produced by a recording device, making it highly unreliable.
--But.
The faint, sweet fragrance emanating from the tip of their noses simultaneously drew their attention.
"It smells so good..." the iris whispered.
"Where is this fragrance coming from? There shouldn't be any flowerbeds around here that bloom at night..."
Then, the sudden surge of water in the lotus pond sent a chill down their spines.
The water surged, destroying the floating bridge and pavilion. The two hurriedly retreated to the shore, staring dumbfounded at the massive, mountain-like black shadow!
"Wow, so big?!" Hyacinth's pupils dilated in shock.
—The pitch-black mud monster reappeared, several times larger than before!
And it was covered with countless lotus flowers, emitting an eerie, rich fragrance!
There seems to be a familiar scent in this fragrance... like the sweet fragrance of gardenias...
……wrong!
The iris was startled, as if it had remembered something, and quickly covered its mouth and nose.
"Hyacinth! Cover your nose right now! Don't smell that!"
"wind--"
Before he could finish speaking...
The azure-clad magical girl felt everything go black before her eyes, and with a thud, she fell backward.
I could almost hear the screams of irises and the firing of magic cannons.
But after that—Hyacinth's consciousness was enveloped by a golden figure and gradually sank into darkness.
