“Wait, wait a minute…”
Aqua suddenly stopped him and said with a frightened look on her face: "I say, do you really want to kill the monsters?"
"There's nothing we can do. Looking at the situation today, no matter what we do, it's useless." Kobayashi sighed slightly.
With Aqua reluctantly speaking to everyone in the team.
"Well, let's go explore the fortress tomorrow. Before that, be prepared."
"Oh!" X4
Silent all night.
Early the next morning.
Well, today we were going to explore this abandoned fortress, that was the plan...
“Hey, Huihui.”
Xiao Lin looked at the little Lolita and the little Lolita in front of him, pulled the corner of his mouth and asked: "Can you explain what's going on?"
“You asked me to explain something. I feel very embarrassed! Of course I refused…”
Mimi shouted happily, "With my sister! I want to see my sister's active performance!"
“…I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that.”
Huihui looked a little embarrassed.
Xiao Lin sighed and angrily scolded her: "So you brought Mimi with you, are you serious, hey!"
“If monsters appear again like they did yesterday, the interior may have become a maze and its safety cannot be guaranteed.” Darkness wanted to let Megumin and Mimi know.
indeed.
There is no strong person in the team now, and we might encounter serious danger if we turn the maze into a labyrinth.
Huihui said immediately, “I, I know! I will protect Mimi with all my strength!”
What the hell are you guarding!
You can't even use magic now, does that firework give you confidence? Besides, you can't use explosion magic in the dungeon, this is normal!
“It doesn’t matter. Huihui said so.”
"Hey, Aqua, don't make light of it just because it has nothing to do with you!"
“Isn’t it? Because our goal is to let this child see Megumin’s handsome side, right? So if she doesn’t follow, won’t she be able to see the handsome scene with her own eyes?”
Well!
What the Stupid Goddess said makes a lot of sense.
This guy can always point out their problems in such bad places.
"I see."
Darkness nodded thoughtfully.
"No, no!" Xiao Lin waved his hands and said, "Even if that's the case, sneaking into the maze with a child on your back is not normal behavior."
"Well, I will carry Mimi inside this fortress! During the time I am protecting Mimi, I can't do anything else, so please follow me!"
"Don't say that so confidently!"
Kobayashi was somewhat helpless about her stubbornness.
But what Aqua said was right. Mimi would only give them the materials after seeing Huihui's handsome side. Although there might be certain risks in going to the fortress this time, there is no need to be too afraid, because the invincible Rikushi is here.
"I really can't do anything about you... Liu Zi, I'm counting on you."
"Please rest assured, Master Kobayashi. I will definitely protect the two useless Crimson Demons."
"oh oh……"
The puppet maid's venomous tongue was still as vicious as ever, and the two Crimson Demons seemed unable to accept it.
"Okay, let's start investigating right away."
Xiaolin led them into the fortress.
Because his level has increased a lot during this period, his Five Visions All Power has been unlocked, so he can easily explore the way forward.
Soon, they encountered monsters.
"It's here! The monster we fought yesterday!"
As Darkness screamed, Krillin and the others saw a bee monster appear in front of them, exactly the same as the one they saw outside the fortress yesterday.
"It's despicable to attack from the air!"
"…Mechanical Owl Kai, that's what it's called."
"It's obviously a bee! Anyway, is this the time to take our time naming it? Isn't it obvious that it's hostile to us?!"
Aqua screamed.
At this time, the mechanical bees in the sky also made mechanical sounds.
"Beep beep beep... Subject found... Retrieval started."
"Huh? Huh? It's coming this way!"
Aqua hid behind Kobayashi in fear.
After observing it for a while, Darkness said, “It’s targeting Aqua’s hair accessories! Is it heading this way because it’s reacting to something glowing?! It seems to be targeting something worn on a person. This thing is really hard to deal with.”
"This is a monster that needs to be eliminated! Kill it without mercy!"
Huihui shouted passionately.
no way.
Now I don't know what the situation is, so let's solve it here!
Xiaolin's thread was activated instantly.
"Ohhh! Xiaolin, have you recovered?!"
"That's not the case! The silk thread never disappeared. It's just that the level has dropped, causing the silk thread to become very brittle and weak, so it has never been used! Now that the level has been improved a lot, I will use you as a training ground!"
It didn't take a moment to cut it down.
The silk thread tied it tightly, but this guy was a machine, and his body was terribly hard, so he didn't die immediately. He even tore the silk thread apart in a few breaths.
"Wait, wait! Xiaolin, didn't you say that the silk thread is ready to use?!"
"I also told you, it's very crisp now!"
They were all busy and frantic, working for a long time before they managed to kill the mechanical monster.
“Hoo, hoo…!”
"The peace of the village has been protected."
"Maybe there are others nearby. Let's look for them."
Aqua was breathing heavily. Huihui was very glad, but Darkness was still eager to try. She seemed to want to fight the monster to the death.
Aqua was a little scared.
She said timidly, "Eh? If I get close, I'll be attacked again... Oh, by the way, Xiaolin, this hair accessory is for you."
The stupid goddess pulled off the hair accessory on her head and handed it to Kobayashi in front of her.
"No need!"
Xiao Lin was unable to avoid it and retorted: "Just destroy it before the attack, and take it somewhere conspicuous!"
"Well, forget it. I'm the only one who suits this hair accessory. Humph, doesn't Kobayashi have good taste?" Aqua put the hair accessory on her head again with a giggle.
Being used as bait...
Several people thought so.
Darkness said excitedly, “I can play this role... Can I change it?... No, whether the hair accessories are suitable or not is another matter... Ugh!”
She looked disappointed.
No, no, no, it has nothing to do with hair accessories at this time!
Then they continued to go deeper.
The fortress built by the Red Demon Clan is a bit too big. No, it’s more like too big.
It looks like a maze.
Most importantly, there are many traps in this maze.
Like damaging floors, traps, clay bombs, etc., a lot of deadly things.
By the way, they were not planning to use this fortress to confuse the Demon King's army and encircle them, were they? But in the end, they gave up because they found it troublesome... The Crimson Demons were indeed a bunch of brain-defective guys.
"Found it! Damn, some of them ran away!"
"No! My head again?! Stop poking it!"
They found mechanical bees again, but a few of them ran away, while the rest continued to attack Aqua.
Because there were too many, I had to ask Liu Zi for help.
These mechanical bees died peacefully after increasing their levels according to the ancient upgrade method of the Red Demon Clan.
"Success!"
Huihui shouted, “This way, there will be fewer people getting in the way of the village!”
“Let’s go find its escaped companion!” Darkness planned to pursue the victory.
Aqua cried and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore... I don't want to think about it anymore..."
As the bait, she was attacked by monsters many times.
Rather, it could be said that, because of the hair accessories, the mechanical bees did not attack Krillin and the others, but instead specifically harassed Aqua. Thanks to this, they had an easy journey along the way.
Seeing her like this, Mimi said, "Then let me hold the hair accessories!"
“It’s dangerous, Mimi!” Megumin held down Mimi who was trying to show off and said, “This is a skill that only specially trained people like Aqua can master.”
"cut."
Mimi pouted.
"To sum up, Aqua. Please be patient for a while. Aqua's brilliance is necessary!"
“Wow… It’s because of my radiance that things like this keep happening…! But there’s nothing I can do. I can’t hide my radiance!”
After hearing what Megumin said, Aqua wiped her tears and gathered herself together.
This guy... is so easy to fool.
Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
Go deeper.
"…He fled in this direction, but I can't find him."
Huihui looked around.
I didn't see the mechanical bee monsters escaping.
Darkness seemed to be recalling something as she said, “The fleeing Mechanical Bee Kai had hair that was obviously different from the other monsters. It’s unnatural for a monster like that to suddenly appear. If it appeared from somewhere in this fortress, it would definitely leave some traces.”
"It's called a trace, but it's nothing special... Hey, hide quickly!"
Kobayashi's five-vision omniscience discovered something unusual.
Everyone hid quickly.
At this time, a mechanical bee monster appeared in front of the passage.
Mimi's eyes sparkled when she saw it: "Ah, it's the monster from before!"
“Mimi, it’s dangerous, be quiet.” Huihui looked at her pleadingly.
Xiao Lin also whispered: "Even though the distance is far, if we make a loud noise, we will still be discovered...!"
"Uh-huh-!"
Her mouth was covered.
"Where is this guy going?"
As Darkness muttered curiously to herself, everyone held their breath and followed its moving figure, until the injured mechanical bee came to a tightly closed door and inserted its foot into the keyhole of the door.
There was a click.
“The door is open…!”
Everyone was slightly surprised.
The door seemed to be opened using the mechanical bee's feet as a key. The mechanical bee crawled into the gap of the opened door and disappeared inside.
At this time, several people came out from their hiding places.
But for fear of disturbing the guy inside, he spoke in a low voice.
"…That guy, lost a leg in the battle just now, right?"
"Oh, I see. If we recycle it, we can open this door as well."
"Okay! Let's go find the robot bee's legs!"
Then they returned the same way.
Fortunately, Xiaolin was afraid of getting lost, so he left marks at every intersection he crossed, and soon they returned to the place where they had fought the mechanical bee.
There is something on the ground.
Aqua ran over happily, picked it up and showed it to everyone, saying happily: "Look! Isn't this the foot that serves as the key?"
"Good job, Aqua! All right! Let's go back to that door!"
After getting the key, they came to the door again.
"Then I'm going to open the door!"
Aqua said this happily, and inserted the robot bee's foot into the door.
There was a click.
The door was opened again.
"Okay, proceed carefully."
Several people slipped in quietly.
There was nothing special inside. It was almost exactly the same as the ordinary fortress they had in mind. When they wanted to go out, they found a ladder in the corner.
It seems to lead downwards.
Xiao Lin thought about it and decided to go down the ladder.
What comes into view is indeed a futuristic technological style that is completely different from the rural style, with cables and circuit boards everywhere.
"this is……?!"
"Wow! A secret facility!"
Mimi screamed with excitement.
Xiao Lin was slightly surprised and said, "Hmm? It looks very similar to the door that sealed the magician killer... Why is there such a place in the basement of the fortress?"
"I don't know. This is my first time coming down here too."
Huihui explained timidly in a low voice.
Although the fortress was built before she was born, she had never been down there, so she had no idea about the facilities here.
"Well, that's it..."
Darkness looked around and said, “This is just my guess. Maybe they built a fortress on top of the secret facility just in case?”
"Secret facility..."
Xiao Lin was slightly curious and asked, "Building a fortress on the ruins? Why would you do such a troublesome thing?"
"The most important thing about a fortress is that it is stronger than anything else, and this facility can be said to meet sufficient conditions. If this facility is in place, even if there is an invasion through a hole in the ground, or magic that affects the ground like the Bottomless Swamp, it can be defended."
"It's reasonable, I guess..."
Honestly speaking, if the purpose of the cover-up was to hide the facility, then he could barely accept it. But if it was built on the facility in order to prevent the fortress from falling, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
"I've never heard of such a thing."
Huihui complained slightly: “Even if it’s true, it’s possible that all the Crimson Demons have forgotten it.”
Is it really okay?
These guys from the Red Demon Clan are quite a headache.
At this time, Aqua shouted from the front: "Xiaolin, it seems that we can go further!"
"Oh, can we go in too?"
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Let's be alert around and see what's going on inside."
Then, in order to find out what this facility was used for, Kobayashi and others hesitated for a moment and then continued to move deeper into the facility.
