Mysterious Gift Package
"Buzz!"
Realizing there was danger, Old Suo immediately took out a set of Sonia's clothes from his storage space and handed them to Ulu.
"We'll handle this. You go change your clothes first!"
Although Ulu still harbored suspicion towards someone, she had no choice but to obey the arrangement at this point.
After his hand suddenly felt lighter, Old Suo turned around and walked towards the edge of the ice platform.
"Sonia, what's going on?"
"Young master, look over there!"
Old Suo looked in the direction Sonia was pointing and saw a group of crystal-blue spiders moving at high speed toward them.
"What is this thing?" (Old Suo)
"Ice Field Cave Spider! It's Ice Field Cave Spider! Where are we now? How did we encounter such a dangerous creature?" (Ulu)
Hearing the voice behind him, Old Suo turned around and asked, "Ulu, what is Ice Field Cave Spider?"
"The Ice Field Cave Spider is the oldest creature on the Aursdai Ice Field. Legend has it that they live in dark ice caves and possess extremely powerful ice magic. A swarm of Ice Field Cave Spider is even capable of destroying a country. But this creature should have disappeared with the demise of the Eskimo Civilization, so how did it appear here?"
"Because we might be right here in the ruins of Eskimo Civilization!" (Old Suo)
"Weren't we in the Underground Magic Palace? How did we end up in the ruins of Eskimo Civilization?" (Ulu)
"Miss Ulu, the Underground Magic Palace is a general term for the ruins of civilizations, not a specific place. (Sonia)"
"Oh! I see! (Ulu)"
"Alright, we can discuss these issues after we get out of here. Right now, let's think about how to deal with these Ice Field Cave Spider!" (Old Suo)
Upon hearing Old Suo's words, Sonia handed him the Snow Domain Blue Crystal in her hand.
"Young Master, I'm entrusting the Snow Domain Blue Crystal to you for safekeeping, in case it gets damaged during the battle later."
"Good!"
As he spoke, Old Suo took the Snow Domain Blue Crystal and put it into his storage space.
"Squeak squeak"
"Squeak squeak"
While everyone was talking, the Ice Field Cave Spider had already surrounded them.
"Sonia, you two stay here, I'll go take care of these guys." (Old Suo)
"Okay! (Sonia)"
"I..."
Before Ulu could even voice her request to fight, Sonia pulled her to the edge of the ice platform, while Old Suo had already charged into the spider swarm and begun wreaking havoc.
Seeing this, Ulu had no choice but to obey the majority and carry out the battle plan formulated by Old Suo.
"The Ice Dragon's Roar"
"Call out!"
The moment Old Suo finished speaking, a breath of icy blue air was released, turning countless Ice Field Cave Spider into ice shards, but the number of cave spiders in front of him did not change significantly.
"Wow! How many generations has this been accumulated over?!"
After making a sigh, Old Suo continued to devote himself to the great cause of exterminating the spiders.
"The Ice Dragon's Feather Needle"
"Whoosh whoosh"
One after another, icy white wings fell, clearing out an area once again, but it was quickly covered by icy blue spiders again.
"Hmph! I refuse to believe I can't kill you all!"
"The Ice Dragon's Roar"
"The Ice Dragon's Feather Needle"
"Ice Dragon's Claw"
Compared to the demolition-style cleanup on Old Suo's side, Sonia and her companion were much more refined.
"Wind Sickle!"
Just as Sonia waved her hand to clear away several Ice Field Cave Spider that had climbed up, an ice crystal shield appeared on her right, blocking the sneak attacks of several other Ice Field Cave Spider.
"Flowing Wind Slash"
"Call out!"
After slicing the attacker to pieces, Sonia turned around and said, "Thank you!"
"You are welcome!"
Looking at Ulu breathing was a little rapid, Sonia asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, it's just that these clothes are a bit tight, and it's making it hard for me to breathe!"
Upon hearing Ulu's words, Sonia noticed that Ulu had stretched her clothes so much they looked like they were about to rip. Looking down at her own flat chest, a sense of defeat washed over her.
Watch out behind you!
"Infinite Blade Leaves"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Hearing the sound behind her, Sonia quickly banished certain thoughts from her mind and focused on the battle.
Agallifa City, Love&Lucky Guild
"Jude, how much money do we have now?" (Leila)
"Including this trip, it must be around ten million J!" (Jude)
"Ten million is already a lot, but just to be safe, let's save up a little more!" (Leila)
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say!"
Just as Jude finished speaking, a knock on the door drifted through the room and into their ears.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Jude!"
"I understand, I'll go answer the door right away, you just lie there."
After saying this, Jude helped Leila cover herself with the blanket and turned to walk towards the door.
"Squeak"
The door slowly opened, and the waitress who had served Old Suo appeared at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Jude!"
"It's you, Lily! Come in quickly!"
"Mr. Jude, I just have something to tell you, so I won't go in."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Just recently, a silver-haired boy came looking for you and Miss Leila. After learning that you were out, the boy left."
"Did... what did this boy say before he left?"
"He only asked when you could come back, and that was it."
"Okay! I understand. Thank you, Lily!"
"You are welcome!"
After saying that, Lily turned and left, while Jude closed the door and returned to Leila's side.
"What happened?"
"Oh! It's nothing. Lily just told me that a silver-haired boy came looking for us earlier."
"A silver-haired boy? What silver-haired boy?"
"I don't know either, maybe they've got the wrong person!"
"I hope so!"
After a fierce battle, Old Suo and his men finally cleared out the Ice Field Cave Spider and gained time to recuperate.
"Phew! Finally got rid of those annoying little spiders! (Old Suo)"
"Young Master, what do we do next?"
"That goes without saying, of course we have to leave here!" (Ulu)
"Needless to say, it's exploring the ruins!" (Old Suo)
Upon hearing the two voices rang out simultaneously, the air between the three of them froze instantly.
After a while, two voices rang out in the cave at the same time again.
"There are even Ice Field Cave Spider here, who knows what other dangers are lurking? Of course we have to leave quickly!" (Ulu)
"We finally managed to deal with the Ice Field Cave Spider, so of course we should explore this ruin thoroughly!" (Old Suo)
Sonia glanced at the two people staring at each other and asked hesitantly, "So what should we do?"
"Leave! (Ulu)"
"Stay! (Old Suo)"
"Leave! (Ulu)"
"Stay! (Old Suo)"
After repeating these four words N times, Old Suo jumped out of it and reorganized another sentence.
"This kind of arguing won't work. Let's vote. The minority shall obey the majority."
Just as Ulu was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly remembered what had happened before.
"No way! You two are partners, you'll definitely make the same choice!"
Upon realizing that his first plan had been exposed, Old Suo immediately launched his second plan.
"Fine! Since you think the voting is unfair, let's play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever wins will get to do what we say!"
"Alright! Let's do it this way!" (At this point, a lewd smile crept across Old Suo's face. As for the reason... you can guess for yourselves, I won't explain.)
After reaching an agreement, the two immediately began their match, and Ulu lost as expected.
"Hehe! Now you have no objections, right? (Old Suo)"
"Hmph! I'm This Lady woman of my word, I'll play along with you two!" (Ulu)
"Let's go then!" (Old Suo)
After saying this, the three left the ice platform and headed towards the Ice Crystal Maze below.
After entering the ruins, apart from some traps, the three of them did not encounter any powerful beings, and of course, they did not gain anything significant either!
Just when Old Suo thought they were going to make a wasted trip, things finally took a turn for the better.
Looking at Sordil, who was staring up at the statue in front of him, Sonia asked in confusion, "Young Master, is there something wrong with this statue?"
"Sonia, don't you think the eyes of this statue are alive?"
Upon hearing Old Suo's words, Sonia looked up and stared at the statue's eyes for a long time. Then she noticed that a small black dot on the statue's eye had moved upwards a short distance.
"It's alive! Young master, its eyes are definitely alive!"
Ulu, who had overheard their conversation, quietly retreated behind Sonia and hugged her arm tightly.
"I... I'm a scaredy-cat, please... please don't scare me!"
"Wind Shape - Wind Boat"
After using wind power to send the two women to their private vehicle, Old Suo turned his head and said, "I'm going to see what's going on. You two wait here for me."
"Young master, be careful!"
Nodding to the two of them, Old Suo then flew toward the statue's eyes.
"Hmm? This looks like Ice Magic Crystal. I wonder what will happen if I input ice-type magic into it."
After speaking, Old Suo pondered for a moment, and finally decided to channel ice magic into the statue's eyes.
As magic was channeled in, the originally dull stone eye gradually emitted an icy blue light, but there was no movement around it.
"Hmph! I'd like to see just how much magic power you need to activate it!"
As he spoke, Old Suo increased the input of magic power, and the brightness of the stone eye increased at an extremely rapid rate.
"Snap!"
"Splash!"
When the statue's eyes turned deep blue, a metallic scraping sound came from inside the statue. Then, the statue's mouth slowly opened, revealing three bright blue orbs hidden inside.
"What is that?"
He muttered something to Old Suo, then stopped channeling magic and slowly flew toward the three orbs of light.
After seeing the object inside the ball of light, Old Suo was stunned in mid-air.
