"Speaking of which, in my past life I heard some things about the [Nightmare] God. Where there is the power of nightmares, there must also be Sweet Dream, just like among those ugly schools of dream fish, there are also Sweet Dream fish," Kurumi said.
"So, according to you, this place only appeared because Rosalía and the others were infected with the Nightmare Power?"
"Who knows?"
In response to Ilena's question, Kurumi spread her hands and continued, "Maybe it's because the Sweet Dream appeared here first, and then the nightmare came~"
"All right."
When Beatrix and Su Yu saw the enormous rabbit, they didn't shout as loudly as before.
She stood quietly behind the two adults.
Ilena glanced at the rabbit's attributes.
[Rabbit Fairy]
Grade:???
Talent:???
Property:???
What the heck? A monster with a question mark for its level, or maybe an NPC?
Such a powerful rabbit can't be a monster, can it?
Moreover, all seven deities have health bars, but this Rabbit Fairy doesn't...
"Huh? Why would anyone be here?"
The giant rabbit turned its body to face Ilena and her group.
"Strange, where did you come from?"
Rabbit Fairy stared at the people on the ground with her deep red eyes, biting half a cabbage leaf in her mouth, and said in a strange tone.
"Hello, we are adventurers who accidentally wandered into this place. Are you the owner?"
Ilena stepped forward.
"Adventurer?"
Rabbit Fairy repeated, then asked, "Since you are adventurers, does that mean you take on quests and do the work?"
"Yes."
Rabbit Fairy narrowed her eyes. "Alright, I'll give you a task. There will be a reward after you complete the task!"
"Ding! Rabbit Fairy has assigned you a task: [Pulling Radishes and Vegetables]!"
[Pulling Radishes and Vegetables]
Task Level: Special
Task Description: Rabbit Fairy is very distressed because no one is helping her deal with these carrots and cabbages, so she hopes you can help her.
Task hint: An angry radish is scary, and a awakened cabbage is noisy.
"Alright, you guys get to work. We need to pull up all these radishes and cabbages before sunset." After saying that, Rabbit Fairy hopped away.
Kurumi and Ilena looked at each other, and then saw confusion in each other's eyes.
What are all these things...?
"But how do we pull out such a big radish?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.
"The mission prompt says an angry carrot is scary?" Kurumi pondered, then fired a shot at the carrot in the distance.
"Ah!!!"
The carrot in the vegetable garden let out a shriek, instantly bursting out of the soil and transforming into two hands and two feet, covering the spot where it had been shot, and hopping around on the spot.
Kurumi: "..."
Ilena: "... How did you find out?"
"I'll give it a try..."
Soon, the carrot stopped bouncing, and a bump, redder than its body, appeared where it had been hit.
Carrot, hands on hips, looked down at Kurumi and said, "You're the one who hit me, you little brat! Carrot, you're not angry? Do you think I'm some kind of pushover?!"
Bang!
The only response it received was Kurumi's gunshot.
Carrot screamed again after being hit by Kurumi's bullets, and a big bump appeared on his face.
"No damage..." Kurumi was speechless.
I thought I hadn't seen it clearly, but now that it's hit its face, I can see it clearly enough.
There was absolutely no harm.
The only trace is the bulge on its face, a big, bright red bump.
"You little brat, you need to be taught a lesson!" Carrot reached down, trying to grab Kurumi.
Kurumi used her speed boost to dodge the attack.
Then it fired back three shots, and three more bags appeared on the carrot.
Carrot screamed repeatedly, very angry, and chased Kurumi away.
As they walked along, the carrots that were originally planted neatly in the ground were all woken up by this angry carrot that was chasing Kurumi.
"Holy crap, who woke up your grandpa?"
"You annoying guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually bumped my head!"
"Ouch, that hurts! Don't step on my leaves!"
The entire carrot grove instantly erupted in chaos. All the injured carrots were angry and started yelling at the carrots that had hurt them. The carrots on the opposite side were not to be outdone and started hurling insults at each other.
Kurumi quickly shook off the carrot thanks to her speed boost.
Upon returning, he said, "These carrots seem to have a vitality bar; when they run out of vitality, they lie on the ground and don't move."
"So the mission means we need to make these carrots angry, accelerating their energy depletion, and the same goes for the cabbages?" Ilena instantly understood the strategy for completing the mission.
"Hmm... I'll probably have to pay the price for angering them."
Just as she finished speaking, the carrot that had been chasing Kurumi came running over, cursing and swearing.
"You little brat, if I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not a carrot!"
"Hehe."
Kurumi chuckled softly, then used her spiritual power to fly away again.
"Xiao Yu, sit down."
Ilena had Su Yu sit behind the broom, while Princess Beatrix and Rosalía rode the Sacred Tree Leaf Boat into the air.
Looking at the carrot patch that was in complete disarray, the cabbage patch remained quiet.
[Rock Rain]!
Ilena quickly activated her magic, summoning a huge Magic Circle above the cabbage field.
"It's raining!"
"Damn it, what kind of heaven sent those stones?"
"Ouch! That rock hit me so hard!"
The cabbage patch was hit by countless falling stones, and the cabbages on the ground woke up. When they realized it wasn't raining, but rocks falling, they were all dumbfounded.
It conjured up hands and feet, pulled itself out, and moved away from the rocky area.
Then they discovered that the carrots on the carrot patch were fighting, and everyone gathered around, singing hip-hop and cheering them on.
The fighting carrots quickly depleted their energy, and in less than an hour they turned into carrot sticks and lay on the ground.
However, the cabbages merely watched, and their vitality declined very slowly.
"How can that be? It'll be more exciting if they all fight..."
Kurumi hid behind the cabbages, fired at the carrots, and then used her speed boost to leave the scene.
Soon, the carrots and cabbages started fighting too.
The battle over vegetables continued until 5 p. m.
Most of the carrots and cabbages lost their vitality and lay flat on the ground. A small portion developed liver fire, which evaporated their body water, turning them into dried carrots and dried cabbages.
Su Xi had long since canceled her avatar state. Sitting on Princess Beatrix's Sacred Tree Leaf Boat, she took out a few melons from her Portable Space and ate them while watching the commotion.
"Fine, I've been working so hard to ignite the war down here, and you're just here watching the show." Kurumi flew over.
"Kurumi- neechan, you've worked hard. Have some watermelon."
Su Yu handed over the watermelon slices.
"Mmm, Little Su is still the best to me."
When most of the vegetables on the ground had been Qiqi, Rabbit Fairy appeared and said with great satisfaction, "Very good, you have completed your task beautifully. This is your reward."
After Rabbit Fairy finished speaking, the five people's vision blurred for a moment.
The next moment, they were back in the cabin of the manor, and the hole in the ground had disappeared.
