As Yuan was confiscated after a bloody moral lesson, Gwen and the company got together to discuss their next course of action.

In addition to the party of five, Caliban, Ariel, and Leah play a game of keeping an eye on each other, jumping back and forth across the wet swamp. Caliban regains her sinuous form, gliding between layers of peat, while Leah dives into the swamp, effectively tricking her. As a result, Ariel became angry, distracted, and angry.

"Oh yes, your share of fruit. Petra threw three diamonds in a row at Richard, Mina, and Tao. "Vitamin fruit, good for the skin. Eat it or swap it and let me know. ”

"How many Cocos Islands are there?" asked Richard.

"I don't know. Petra appeared three more times. There are six of them. "One for Pabloa, one for my host, and one we can swap out. I will partially pay for my master's degree with my CCs system. ”

"Can I buy the last one? I have... Gwen raised her hand. She was very fond of the fruit, either to nourish the mana of Almud or to give it to others as a gift in the future.

Others did not contradict her proposal. Mina and Tao's father is still young, and Richard is in dire need of his CCs system.

"It's all yours," Petra acknowledged the offer.

Richard let the still Rubik's Cube stop between his fingers and watched the white jade's flesh glisten like a work of art.

"I'm going to change it to CCs," he said after thinking about it. "Gwen, can I keep it for you? If you'd like, you're welcome to exchange it for the CCs system. ”

"Of course," Gwen affirmed the offer. Perhaps, with the help of Pabloa, she could eat two more pieces of meat without surprise.

"I'll eat it now," Mina announced. "Tao, you eat too, God knows if you can hold on. ”

Tao gave Mina a hard look, but his heart wasn't there. He can't seem to contradict his sister, though. She speaks from experience.

Petra dispelled the Stagnation Rubik's Cube, and together the siblings shared the wonderful gift of Vita Nut.

When life is full, Mina conjures up an illusory mirror for her to examine herself. Her skin is more tender than before, and her eyes are a little brighter. The best thing is her figure, which is plump and slimmer than before.

What a fruit!Mina praised the higher power that created this dungeon.

"How do I look?" she turned to Richard, who smiled, her glowing eyes forming two half-moon shapes. The ability to speak with her eyes is a talent that neither Gwen nor Petra possesses, but Mina has taken it to the extreme.

"Great, Mina, as always. Richard kept his usual smile. "You too, Tao, you yourself look haggard. ”

Tao turned the mirror to himself. After absorbing the vitamins, his posture appeared more like a statue, and his body was more toned and more manly. The manhood of his exterior seems to be less pronounced.

"So, back to the Guardian?" Gwen packed up the extra vita nuts.

"Ah, yes, Guardian. Richard patted his chin. "I think I know where it went. ”

Five pairs of eyes turned to the grinning magician.

"We have a cut-out section underneath. If there was a guardian, I guess it would be there. "Leah, tell them. Richard called for his underwear, which emerged from the water beneath his feet.

"There's a cave down there, it's huge!" Leah waved her impossibly long cobalt eyelashes, explaining with her hand what she had found. "Big salamanders with a lot of eggs. ”

"Is there any help?" Richard turned to Petra.

"Gila Egg?Petra let the protective crystal shell fall from her, and fade away as the fragments lose their enchantment. "That can't be right. Jira didn't breed like that. They implant phages or tumor tissue into the victim, and the victim slowly turns into Jira. ”

"What if Kira finds a host that can mutate?" asked Richard. Unless Chaos follows a specific biological pathway?"

"Life...... Found a way out?" Gwen chanted holy, delighted that she had made the right inference.

Petra carefully considered Gwen's words. Philosophically, this is indeed in line with the nature of chaos.

Gwen added: "The core of Jira is always there. ”。 "How big do you think this thing is?"

"Leah, show us this thing. ”

Leah left Richard's side, fetching water from the soaked peat. She made a rough salamander the size of a semi-trailer.

"That's a Hugh bitch!" Tao said loudly.

"Magical resistance. Petra said thoughtfully. "This thing's resistance must be insane. ”

Everyone was quiet.

"We might be able to conquer it with lightning and the Void," Gwen suggested from the Great Blue Gila I could prove, enough damage should be able to pass it. ”

"It's just underground. "Petra raised an arched eyebrow, and I don't think we'll have a chance to fight it down there. ”

"How's this?" Gwen continued. "We can lure it with vitamins and stuff like that, and then attack it with alpha and cut off its mobility. ”

"It's a bit optimistic," Petra said, noting that Jira at the top is smart. The level of cunning of the Red Army was as low as that of goblins. When we start to see the blue ones, you see the goblins. In Green, we see something human-like. Once we start getting super rare varieties like gray or black gilas, we see ancient wisdom like elves or dragons. I doubt an angry old Gila could be a stupid animal. ”

"Do you think it can be magical?" Mina pointed out. "I've read that green can do magic. ”

"Leah said it was red," Richard assured her. "What we're seeing is a powerful bruise, maybe a level 6 or so force, but an anti-magic defense level 8. Let's assume it's smart, but not too smart. That means we need some serious disruption. Gwen Petra?"

Petra noted: "Well, we have a surplus of vita nuts as bait. ”。 "How effective do you think lightning and void spells are against Jira?"

"I want to say half the power?" Gwen tried to quantify the resistance of the creature she had killed before and enlarge its size. "Regardless of resistance, the Void will consume its body, and lightning can penetrate its slime. ”

"Yes. Petra counted some numbers in her head. "Well, let's say I put your spell together in a cube. When Mina filled me up, we redoubled our efforts on the Void. Fully pre-polished. Two lightning antennae, two empty antennae. Two sets of defensive bolts and a magic storm. We will add the flask after the initial buff and then fight it with a 50% draw. The combat platform in the trees over there, far away from that. You and Richard are on the right, and Mina and I are on the left. What do you think?"

Gwen suggested that we take a break.

Richard pointed to the watery beast model and said, "It works." ”。 "You know what, I think I know why our guardian didn't come. ”

"What do you know?" Mina looked at her relative enviously. She admired what Richard was thinking in her head and waited for someone to ask questions.

Richard laughs and says, "When you think about it, everything is obvious. ”。 "It's nocturnal activity!"

A look of epiphany flashed across the faces of the other four companions. Gwen patted her forehead. Of course, she should have thought of it. She had been to Taronga Zoo many times in her previous life. Amphibians, especially dark creatures like salamanders, are nocturnal hunters.

"How do we bring that big bitch to the courtyard?" Tao Yuanming pondered for a few seconds before proposing to him.

"Okay. Richard looked their companion up and down. "You're going to bring it to us..."

"Oh. Tao's face turned pale. "I... Am I?"

"Really, Peach. Richard patted the magician on the back. "You too, Fei. ”

"Me too?" Unlike Tao Yuanming's frightened consternation, Fei's expression was one of unexpected appreciation and eager anticipation.

"Of course!" Richard smiled. "You two are at the heart of our plan!"

Due to the extended time it took to prepare Petra's spell blocks, the group settled down to rest.

To Mina's delight, Gwen volunteered her portable perch, and she plugged an HDM into the magical contraption and placed it at the base of the tree.

Then each member found a room to prepare for the upcoming night battle. Gwen meditates to restore her mana and, with Mina's help, ignites Almud's life force, giving her herself a tolerance for the void manifesting itself in her. At the same time, Petra carefully modifies Gwen's advanced spells, replicating her list of spells in lightning and the void.

When Gwen becomes too exhausted from the exhaustion of spell casting, she is freed from fatigue through meditation with the help of Mina's finely tuned 4th layer of healing.

Meanwhile, Richard sits in the living room and carefully explains a plan that includes Leah and two magicians to lure the salamanders.

Later in the afternoon, Leah reported that other teams of mages had come to hide from the relatively dry peat bogs. After finding out who they were dealing with, Richard sent Gwen and Mina to negotiate with them.

Mina saluted like a good soldier and took Gwen's hand.

"Come on. You've been locked up inside and cooking the Rubik's Cube for too long!" Mina dragged her out of the room. "Let me tell you how we reaped the spoils along the way. ”

"Tao, if you will?" Richard followed closely behind them. "Me too. Don't forget to record. ”

"Advanced invisibility!" said the incantation twice. It was his favorite dungeon infiltration spell, only now they used it for Richard's nefarious purposes. If this is their last dive, Tao will find his friend, hide in a safe place, and spend the next two days recovering from his invisibility.

"What are we doing?" said Gwen, looking at Richard. Even as an ally, all she saw was a vague humanoid twist.

"We are doing God's work. Richard's voice was secretive and expectant. "Let's go out and see what we find. Leah, are you okay?"

"I'm in place, master. Leah's voice came from the air.

Mina pulled Gwen and quickly crossed the threshold, and they walked out of the gate and into the dungeon again.

"Wow grass mud horse!" another voice, crudely and less gracefully, replied the first. "Just because we're pugs, don't think you can mess with us!"

"We're here first!" a haughty voice pierced the sky. "This ditch will shelter the Xu family tonight, and we don't want unnecessary company, especially your filthy existence. ”

Gwen grabbed the last words of their conversation when Gwen and Mina emerged from behind the tree, and the tree had a depression in its trunk that hid the entrance that Gwen had built. Pulled by her cousin, they wander around the huge Bayan and find themselves caught between two bickering groups.

"!" was now within range, and Gwen's IOU stone translated the curse. "Where the hell did you two come from?"

The mage who spoke was a generous woman, with broad shoulders and a wide waist. Her voice is like a megaphone and her braids are like a little girl, which makes her look like a sociable person. Behind her were four ragged mages, all young men in ragged clothes.

"Actually, you seem to have come out of nowhere. A gentle, polite voice came from their left. The speaker was a young man with a sculpted face and bright and intelligent eyes. He wore a one-piece robe, which, in Gwen's opinion, resembled the kung fu trench coat seen in Jet Li's movies in the 80s. His clothes were all white: white cloth shoes, a white tunic and white trousers. His companions were three other men who were also dressed in white and a girl who looked like a pug member, as she looked well-groomed and wore a miniskirt that exposed her shapely legs and promised to say something sweet.

"We're lost!" Mina announced in her cute, petite voice. "Can any of you help us? we need a safe place to meditate and restore our mana. We've been dodging monsters since this morning, and we managed to shake them off an hour ago!"

Mina's voice sent shivers down Gwen's spine. Her cousin must have somehow overstepped the self-cleaning function of her Sunday gown, as the fabric of the dress was a little torn and stained at the hem. In addition, her Roman sandals were stained with wayward mud, leaving traces on her white legs of a panicked escape.

Next to this sad and cute girl, Gwen looked a little overwhelmed. She was still wearing her own leather suit, which was charred and bearing traces of their earlier battles. Despite a refreshing upfront payment, the outfit needed to be repaired when they returned to Shanghai. Add to that the fact that she's spent the last four hours consuming magic to feed Petra's Rubik's Cube, and she looks like an emaciated survivor.

These two groups looked at the girl with a measured eye.

"Let's play," Richard's voice said next to Gwen.

Gwen looked around in confusion. Are they doing what she thinks they are doing?

"We can...... Help them?" The beautiful pug girl and the mage dressed in white instinctively asked her companions, her eyes filled with sympathy, and the two friendly girls were now placed in an awkward position.

The leader who spoke looked at Gwen suspiciously, narrowing his eyes. The whole situation seems suspicious.

"We will shelter you!" declared another mage, a burly woman confidently, her face chubby like that of a smiling Buddha. "Come here!"

Mina took Gwen's hand and pulled her to their right, laughing "in a panic" as they did.

However, when they arrived, they were met with unscrupulous and greedy stares. The entire space is filled with repressed mana, suggesting that these mages are unlikely to be friendly types who help girls in distress.

"Show me what's in your ring, and we'll protect you," the burly woman asked as Gwen and Mina stepped out of the white-clad mage's range. You can't trust them. Just a few hours ago, I saw them rob a couple of junior high school students. ”

"Nonsense!" shouted the girl in the miniskirt through the mire. "They want to rob me!"

A burly girl's companion denounced the speaker in a miniskirt.

"Rings. Content. Now!" the barrel-waisted mage asked quickly. "There are monsters here who will take you to the swamp before you say 'regret'. If you want our protection, you'll naturally buy a little faith, huh?"

"You...... Are you robbing us?" asked Mina, angrily. "It's not fair! as if we have something to give!"

Gwen almost spat out. Oh, my God. She thought to herself.

"Don't force me to shut you up. A stony challenge appeared on the mage's forearm. "I will break you like a branch. I can see your ring. Hand them over. ”

"Never!" Mina snapped, her face filled with pain. "Gwen has a big storage ring! it's priceless!"

The greedy look on the stout mage's face was painful. Gwen tugged at Mina's shirt and begged her to perhaps draw the anagram.

"No one will stop them!" Mina shouted to the four mages behind Chubby, who laughed. "What's so funny?"

"Green Maiden, where are you?" a mage asked Mina.

"I know you. Another pug member licked Gwen's eyes. "You're the lightning witch who was in Mi that night, right?"

"How dare you take advantage of us when we're in Oh!" Mina quickly retorted, in case the mages were timid.

Really?!Gwen pinched Mina, who shrugged her shoulders and slammed her guts with her elbow, causing Gwen to fall.

"Is she?" the burly shape-shifting leader turned his attention to Gwen. "I heard that she won two thousand yuan from the Feng family's son the other night. How dare you lie to us! You say you have nothing!"

That's Mina!Gwen thought desperately. I'm just a bystander!

On the other side, the white-clothed mage began to move.

"Hey, you, over there! girls. You can seek refuge with us. We will not harm you and will not ask for compensation. I swear by the name of Xujiahui Xujiahui Mansion. ”

"Pei!" the burly shapeshifter spat and almost spat on Gwen's face. "Shit, who do you think you are? the local land god? This isn't Sai Ka Hui, bastard. These girls came to us first, and whether you like them or not, they are under our protection!"

"I don't have any loot for you!" Mina cried in despair, her eyes filled with tears of despair. "I mean, Gwen has a core! a monster core! but we need it. If we don't come back with anything, our patriarch will think we're useless!"

What an actor! Gwen applauded inwardly. What a scary girl! Maybe Mina should focus on drama. Tao can be a musician, Mina, an actor, they can be the royal family's energetic "entertainment" group.

The shapeshifter's bejeweled eyes lit up. A face like hers, it was a terrible expression, like watching a lucky Buddha's kind lips open to reveal fangs.
