Does the Butterfly Effect Really Exist? (9)

An underwater cave in the sea area between the eastern and Western Continent (i. e., the sea area between the Western Continent).

"Phew! Luckily, we didn't remove the protective shield when we left last time, otherwise we would have nowhere to stay this time!"

Looking at the light blue, flowing film above her head, Yelibell said with relief.

"Yelibell, we should be underwater right now, right?"

Hearing the Sacred Dragon's question, Yelibell was somewhat bewildered. She didn't understand why the Sacred Dragon would ask such a trivial question. However, out of politeness, she still answered earnestly, "Yes! What's the problem?"

Sacred Dragon raised his right hand and pointed to the deep blue above his head, then said, "Although we can hide under this protective membrane now and don't have to worry about the seawater, once the enemy arrives, we will inevitably have to leave here and ambush them. How will we face this seawater above us then?"

Faced with the difficult question posed by the Sacred Dragon, Yelibell was at a loss for words. Just then, an officer from the Dragon Slayer Mage Corps rushed over, his face flushed with excitement, and said, "Sacred Dragon, Yelibell, we have discovered many transparent covers resembling fish tanks in a cave not far away. We don't know what to do with these things, so we have come to ask for your instructions!"

Upon hearing the description, Yelibell's eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly said to the officer in front of her, "Where are those things? Take us to see them quickly!"

The officer didn't immediately set off to lead Yelibell away, but instead turned his gaze to the Sacred Dragon. After all, the Sacred Dragon was the supreme commander of this force, possessing the authority to decide all matters, large and small. (Publicly slapping one's leader in the face is something probably no normal person would do, right?)

Although the Sacred Dragon didn't know the purpose of these 'fish tanks,' judging from Yelibell's reaction, it must be something very important, and very likely related to the issue they had just discussed. Since hearing about the 'fish tanks,' the furrowed brow between Yelibell's brows had disappeared, and the relief she felt upon discovering the light blue protective shield was still there had returned to her face.

So, Sacred Dragon nodded, signaling the officer to lead the way. At the same time, he also wanted to see what those 'fish tanks' were, and why they could make the usually calm and collected Yelibell so excited.

Upon receiving the Sacred Dragon's order, the officer immediately stepped forward to lead the way for the two. A short while later, the group arrived at the entrance of a massive cave, where they saw squads of soldiers continuously carrying 'fish tanks' out.

Seeing this, Yelibell rushed forward and said urgently and gently, "Everyone, be careful not to break anything you're holding!"

The soldiers, who had been somewhat careless, became cautious after hearing Yelibell's words, fearing that they might accidentally break the fragile items in their arms and incur the displeasure of their superiors.

After giving instructions to the soldiers, Yelibell rushed to the pile of 'fish tanks' outside, picked them up one by one, and carefully examined them. Once she had finished inspecting all the fish tanks, a bright smile spread across Yelibell's face.

When Yelibell stopped what she was doing, the Sacred Dragon, who had been standing behind her as a backdrop, walked over and asked softly, "Yelibell, can you tell me what these 'fish tanks' are now?"

"Ah?"

The sudden sound behind her startled Yelibell, pulling her out of her own little world. After calming her racing heart, Yelibell said, "Sacred Dragon, these so-called fish tanks are actually oxygen masks that my brother Sordil specially made to ambush the grain transport team from the Western Continent. As long as you wear them on your head, you can breathe underwater, just like on land."

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

After laughing for a few minutes, the Sacred Dragon said speechlessly, "I never thought that the problem that has troubled us for so long would be so easily solved by the 'junk' that brat casually threw here!" (I know many of you are probably thinking, even if they could breathe in seawater, the immense pressure would crush humans and dragons into paper, so how could they possibly break free from the seabed and attack the enemy? But, everyone, please don't forget, this is Asland, a magical world! Isn't it normal for some illogical things to happen here?)

"Hehe! Perhaps this is fate, destined that only Sordil can restrain those guys from the Western Continent."

"Maybe! But now is not the time to discuss that. Let's quickly check how many of these oxygen masks are still usable and how many need fresh air!"

"Yes!"

Next, Sacred Dragon arranged for his men to thoroughly inspect the oxygen masks in the cave and sent someone to test their effectiveness by diving into the sea. After confirming that the oxygen masks were indeed effective, Sacred Dragon began to send people out of the sea to search for traces of the enemy on the surface, to prevent himself and his men from missing their target.

Chigengster Plains, Western Continent Camp

"Our Old Friend asked us to deliver these things to Number Four, but has he considered that in this vast ocean, where are we supposed to find Number Four? Even if we do find Number Four, how are we supposed to deliver these things to Number Four?" (Kelsu)

"Our Old Friend's request is indeed difficult, but this is the best opportunity to eliminate the enemy's manpower. If we miss this chance, who knows if there will be another one? Therefore, I think we should find a way to deliver these things to Number Four and let him carry out our Old Friend's action plan. (Goodpes)"

"I agree with Goode's opinion. This is a golden opportunity given to us by God to defeat the enemy and conquer Ishgar. We absolutely cannot miss it!" (Shideweig)

"Heh! You're all having a good chat, but we still haven't solved the problem of how to hand over these things and our Old Friend's plan to Number Four, have we? (Delsd)"

Just as the four powerful figures were arguing, a giant, turquoise dragon standing to one side of the tent emerged, knelt on one knee in the center of the tent, and said humbly, "My lords, I know someone who can complete this task, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kelsu, who was sitting in the main seat, jumped up and his voice was sharp as he roared, "What did you say? You know who can carry out this mission? Who is that person? Where is he now? Why didn't you bring him with you?"

When Kelsu asked his first question, he was still in the main seat, but by the time he asked his second, he had already run to the turquoise dragon and gripped its shoulders tightly. With each question, he shook the dragon violently for a period of time. By the time he had asked all his questions, the turquoise dragon was foaming at the mouth and had fainted.

Seeing that the only person who could solve the problem was being shaken by the excited Kelsu, the three of them, Goodpes, all gathered around with dark faces.

"Kelsu, tell me the truth, are you a spy on the other side? (Goodpes)"

Feeling the chill emanating from behind him and hearing the cold, angry words in his ear, Kelsu swallowed hard and stammered, "Um... well... I... I didn't mean it, I just... I was just too... too excited, you guys have to believe me!"

No sooner had Kelsu speaking than the three of Goodpes rushed over, pinned him to the ground, and began a symphonic trio of clappers.

"You lot, don't just stand there like idiots! Quickly take that unconscious guy out and get him treated!" (Shideweig)

Yes! Yes!

Upon hearing Shideweig's words, the dragons standing on both sides of the tent agreed repeatedly. Then, they hurriedly dragged the unconscious green dragon out for emergency treatment.

"Buzz!"

When Sordil opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bedroom, and it seemed to be a girl's bedroom. Old Suo thought so because the strong fragrance in the air was almost unbearable, and the bright pink wallpaper on the walls gave Old Suo the feeling of being back in Irene's palace. (Most importantly, there were many small Old Suo, colorful pieces of fabric in triangular and irregular shapes in front of Old Suo ... Hmph! They're all perverts, you can probably guess what they are, right? I won't say more, lest this chapter get censored.)

After carefully scanning the room to make sure no one else was there, Old Suo switched to Poison Dragon Mode and cautiously walked out of the room.

They searched every corner of the building, but still couldn't find a single person, which infuriated young master Sordil!

"Damn it! I'm so unlucky! I finally found the residence of an important enemy figure, and he still managed to escape?"

"Um?"

The angry complaints were still echoing on the roof beams, but the anger on Old Suo's face had vanished, replaced by a beaming smile, and his little lecherous eyes were fixed on the left rear of the house.

"Hehe! You're finally back. This time, I won't let you escape!"

After speaking, Old Suo controlled his miniature body and flew into a cabinet on the side, quietly waiting for his prey to arrive. (After a year of training, Old Suo can now keep his body in a compressed state regardless of the combat mode.)

"Thump!"

Old Suo was staring intently at the front door, but instead of the sound of the door opening, he heard a heavy thud coming from the bedroom on the second floor.

"Holy crap! Could we have run into a burglar?"

Not long after Old Suo finished speaking, a lithe figure dressed in a black bodysuit walked down.
