Chapter 36 Ambush
Although the first half of the journey was relatively smooth.
But after crossing a black iron gate… the entire tunnel became completely dim and colorless.
Only the light emitted by the train’s searchlights could illuminate a small area around them… Looking at the black world, Lonis’s heart couldn’t help but feel some concern.
She hadn’t forgotten what she encountered after escaping the Land of Eternity.
That terrifying tentacle monster, even with her current knowledge, was not a simple opponent.
So, Lonis quietly found Elus and asked, “Um… Elus, what do you want to eat tonight? I and everyone else will make it.”
“Hmph, you persistent little idiot? Clearly terrified, but you don’t dare to say outright that you want to stay by my side.”
“Huh?”
Lonis’s face flushed red, and she finally remembered that Elus had the ability to read minds.
So, she could only…
“Um… Actually, I didn’t expect Castor to be on the moon. If we go to the Land of Eternity, will it come to stop us?”
“Yes, of course it will. But not now? Because Castor also needs us to deactivate the protective force field of the Land of Eternity.”
“Ah?!”
“As the resting place of the Hero, the Land of Eternity naturally has a protective force field that can isolate all existence. And the only key currently is in my hand.”
Elus shook the black remote control in her hand, and this action also made Lonis’s face flush red:
“Th-this remote control isn’t just…”
“Yes, so little idiot, don’t run around with my key everywhere. If Castor deceives you and takes it, you might become someone’s plaything for the rest of your life, and I, this princess, won’t be able to save you. I can only watch you become a fool at level 99.”
“How can you say that!”
“Hmph, and when we arrive at the Land of Eternity, we will carry out some plans. And when those devices are activated, the protective force field will gradually weaken… and taking advantage of this opportunity, Castor will probably send troops to attack us.”
“Ah?”
“So, Castor shouldn’t attack in advance? Little Fox just needs to lie obediently at my feet and act cute with all its heart~~~”
“Awu awu…”
…
…
However?
Although Elus looked very confident.
But the result was beyond the girl’s expectations. After the train had traveled for an hour, a roar suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.
Awu!
The sound was particularly piercing, making the teacups on the dining table tremble!
…
“Is, is it a monster?”
“Strange… Is it a stray monster? Little Fox, stay here, I’ll go and exterminate them.”
“Elus, is there no problem?”
“Mm, don’t worry, aren’t General Tas and the others here? I also want to move around a bit.”
…
Due to the presence of the monster, the train was forced to stop.
And Elus?
She opened the car window and jumped directly outside.
Just as the sound indicated, a monster resembling a giant tiger was lying at the end of the tunnel.
Its body was as tall as 20 meters, and it had two heads… From a distance, it looked like the three-headed dog guarding the Underworld, exuding an incredible sense of pressure.
However…
Elus only needed one sword.
Immediately after, a black light wrapped around the giant tiger’s eyes, causing it to immediately lose its ability to see.
Without vision, the giant tiger could not judge the train’s position, and the girl did not waste this excellent opportunity, directly issuing an order:
“Everyone, launch a long-range attack.”
“Received!”
The warriors who had transformed into mechs raised their weapons, and countless cannonballs poured onto the monster’s body like fireworks.
This scene was undoubtedly very magnificent—the people of the past raised their weapons and stood side by side again, fighting for a common goal.
The giant tiger retreated step by step amidst the noisy bullets, its body constantly disintegrating and collapsing.
However, Lonis noticed that something was wrong.
It was an instinctive feeling, and she subconsciously looked back.
And then…
In the darkness, she seemed to see something strange!
…
“Damn it, there are monsters coming from behind too, everyone, we need to provide support from the rear.”
“Huh?”
“Su Ling, stand behind me!”
The silver-haired girl ran towards the rear, and just as she sensed… at some unknown time, some black insects had appeared from the darkness.
They looked like moths, but each one was about 1 meter in size—the train had no searchlights behind it, so the insects blended in with the darkness, making them very difficult to spot.
“This bug… Little Luo, it’s Mor Grak that attacked us in the City of Ruins.”
“Mm!”
Although Lonis remembered that the man in the black robe was named Mortak, the villain’s name didn’t need to be corrected.
It was only necessary to know that this guy was ugly and had to be defeated!
So…
Lonis summoned the Sea of the Vast Bow.
Ever since she gained strength in the Deep Sea, Lonis had never used such a weapon, and therefore, when the exquisite sea bow lingered around her chest, Lonis thought she had grabbed a ball of light.
The faint blue light, like the waves of the sea, shimmered and illuminated the space around her—the tunnel, which was originally pitch black, was now covered in beautiful light ripples, just like the corridor of an aquarium.
“Little Luo, this is…”
“Su Ling, I’m going to attack!”
Because it was made of water, pulling this bow required no effort. Lonis simply pulled it, and a clear blue arrow shot straight out!
Sizzle!
The arrow made of water, although it had no penetrating power,
It couldn’t even penetrate a wooden board—but, like amber, it directly enveloped the black moth’s body and then fell heavily to the ground.
“Good job, Little Luo! But more are coming from the left!”
“Mm, Su Ling, can you help me bring some buckets? I need liquid as arrows!”
“Of course, no problem, leave it to Su Ling.”
…
The refractive index of these black moths was 0, making them almost undetectable in the dark environment.
But Lonis completed shot after shot with perfect accuracy—the arrows seemed to have locked onto their targets and never missed! Although there were dozens of black moths coming, they were all shot down by the girl before they could even get close to the train!
And the battle in front of the train?
It also seemed to be coming to an end.
“Final blow!”
Elus took out her black longsword and swung it at the giant tiger’s head… The monster wailed and screamed, but it couldn’t reverse its decline and could only fall apart.
And at this moment…
Everyone finally saw its composition. It turned out that this giant tiger, like the robots, was composed of machinery internally!
Metal gears shot out, and countless electric lights flickered, emitting a booming sound.
And after dealing with the enemy, Elus immediately retreated, trying to support Lonis’s battle.
“Little idiot, is everything okay on your side?”
“Mm, it’s all okay now! Elus, I’m done on my side too.”
“Huh, so quickly…?”
“Of course, I’m a Hero too, right? I should share these enemies with Princess Elus~~”
Lonis twitched her fox ears and said excitedly.
