Thinking of the hints in the mission, Su Xi said calmly, "Yes, she's right."
Nicola, who had followed, quickly put on a fawning smile, "Well, since it's Her Highness the Holy Maiden's request, then I'll comply. It has nothing to do with Princess Beatrix."
As she spoke, she even planned to step onto Princess Beatrix's leaves.
Princess Beatrix immediately put on a stern face, put her hands on her hips and said in a show of force, "This is a private gathering between Her Highness the Holy Maiden and me. Is it inappropriate for Sister Nicola to come along?"
Nicola looked at Su Xi.
Su Xi sighed and nodded, acknowledging Princess Beatrix's words.
Nicola awkwardly withdrew her foot from the leaf and said pitifully, "In that case... then I will wait in the temple for Your Highnesses to return safely."
Please, you're an elf who's hundreds of years old, stop acting like you're about to be abandoned.
Do you think I'm someone who only responds to gentle Hall of Service and not force?
Su Xi turned her face away in annoyance, refusing to look at her feigning pitifulness.
"Hehe~ Little leaf, let's take off!"
Without the high priest's obstruction, Princess Beatrix skillfully manipulated the leaf to travel through space, arriving in a place Su Xi had never been before in the blink of an eye.
Su Xi: "..."
I scanned the props at my feet.
[Sacred Tree Leaf Boat]
Quality: Epic
Effect 1: Allows you to travel through space for a short period of time and reach any known location in the forest. Cooldown period: 10 minutes.
Effect 2: When attacked, Ye Zhou will automatically enter a defensive state. Enemies with Life Level lower than Epic level will not be able to deal any damage to Ye Zhou for one hour.
Effect 3: When encountering an insurmountable enemy, as long as he remains within the forest, Ye Zhou can ignore time and space and return directly to the Holy Tree.
Holy crap, where did this weird prop come from?
Su Xi was almost stunned by the effects of this item. It could travel to any known part of the forest? Ignore damage from life forms below epic level? And escape back to the Holy Tree regardless of time and space?
This is absolutely incredible!
Su Xi naturally began to think about how to deal with her enemies if they had this item.
The effects are indeed ridiculously powerful, but they are limited to the forest area. If the enemy finds out about them, it might not be easy to counter them...
It's not that easy to target.
Unless she does something reckless, effect three will put Princess Beatrix in an invincible position.
Of course, the invincibility mentioned here does not include Mythical Grade beings like the Seven Gods; such beings are useless against them.
Princess Beatrix landed with Su Xi and then put away the Sacred Tree Leaf Boat.
Holding Su Xi's small hand, I led her through a path lined with thorny, dark red roses.
The further you go in, the darker it gets.
Su Xi couldn't help but think of those online novels, where thorny roses restrained and entwined the female protagonist, blood blooming with desire, and a vow made with roses was made that the female protagonist would be imprisoned in a rose cage for eternity, becoming a canary.
Hiss...
Su Xi was startled by her own wild imagination.
Heaven knows why Su Xi associates roses with those posts.
However, since her main character's skills are somewhat related to roses, Su Xi felt that even if it was a fanfic, she would still be the one in control. As for the person being imprisoned...
It goes without saying.
Su Xi felt the warmth from the other person's small hand and felt inexplicably at ease.
Perhaps recalling that they were both wanderers in their past lives, and that there was no need to know each other before meeting, Su Xi did not feel any wariness towards Princess Beatrix even without the system's prompts.
Beatrix pushed open an iron gate covered with dark red roses.
Inside is a small manor.
Surprisingly, outside the manor, everything was quiet, with plants and sunlight all in good condition.
But inside the iron gate, chaos reigned, with countless hideous monsters roaming about.
Princess Beatrix's face immediately paled, and she murmured, "Impossible, impossible..."
Princess Beatrix gripped Su Xi's small hand tightly and whispered, "This is the Rose Fairy's manor. It used to be warm and beautiful, but after just a few days away, the manor has turned into this!"
"The Rose Fairy...?"
The monsters roaming the manor are the same size as normal humans, but their bodies are covered with black spots that have been contaminated by the Seven Gods, and their beautiful butterfly wings have become pitted and uneven.
Su Xi glanced at the attributes of these monsters.
[Butterfly Fairy]
Level: 39
Life Level: Elite Monster (Corrupted)
Health:
Attack power: 4830
Defense: 1600
Skills: Nightmare Butterfly (Summons a butterfly of nightmare energy, dealing 190% damage to the target and having a 30% chance to inflict the Nightmare status), Dream Eater (Enemies in the Nightmare status will be stunned for five seconds upon taking damage again), Sweet Dream (Each attack hitting an enemy in the Nightmare status restores 5% of their health), Nightmare Soul Body (Upon death, summons six Nightmare Butterfly; if they successfully kill an enemy, the user will revive and recover 10% of their health)...
At first glance, they were all elite monsters, numbering over thirty...
Simply put, there are more than thirty mini-bosses.
Faced with these monsters, Su Xi really didn't dare to transform into Kurumi and unleash the City of Eating Time, attracting all their hatred. Once she was hit by a Nightmare status, she might be stunned to death.
It looks like this battle will be very difficult.
At that moment, the iron gate behind them suddenly closed, and a thin red barrier lit up the surrounding space.
"Someone has sealed off this space!" Princess Beatrix exclaimed softly.
Whatever your name is, let them block you. You have Ye Zhou, so you can always run away.
Su Xi stared speechlessly at her genuinely shocked expression.
While it's called a locked space, it's easier to understand as a dungeon. This place should be a triggered dungeon; once a player enters, the dungeon is automatically created.
Speaking of which, in my past life, the Nightmare Deity's subordinate was someone called the Grand Duke Rose. I wonder how he differed from this Rose Fairy...
Looking at these ugly Butterfly Fairy, Su Xi couldn't help but recall some things from her past life.
Butterfly Fairy and Elemental Fairy are the same kind of creature, or rather, they are allotropes.
In their previous lives, these Butterfly Fairy always followed the Grand Duke Rose, existing as villainous minor bosses, and players rarely had contact with them.
If Elemental Fairy are tangible and lovable little creatures that everyone wants to cherish, then Butterfly Fairy are tangible and must be killed immediately!
These mini-bosses are a nightmare for guild players who enjoy group play. If you kill them, they enter a brief state of death, releasing six Nightmare Butterfly that automatically attack the player with the lowest health. If they successfully kill a player, they revive with only 10% health. If you touch them again, they enter a state of death, and then summon six Nightmare Butterfly...
If most players are in a low-health state, then just one Butterfly Fairy is enough to wipe out the entire player group.
