Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Quickly send people to search the surrounding area!"

Mei Xue, who was digging a hole, suddenly felt a little itchy in her nose. She rubbed it and thankfully didn't sneeze. Then she continued to swing the small shovel in her hand.

"I dug a hole and planted a blade of grass~"

Okay, mushrooms shouldn't be considered grass, because Peashooters need to sleep at night, so the little fox has to plant these mushrooms to keep watch. Although they look harmless, the spit of a small mushroom can break a person's bones. And just in case, Mei Xue also planted a lot of large mushrooms.

Angelina wasn't busy for too long; she would arrive at the camp in four hours. After eating her fill, she curiously peeked over to watch Mei Xue plant the bright-eyed plants.

"Mei Xue, can they keep watch through the night?"

"Don't worry, Angelina, the doctor said they are professional."

According to the doctor's estimation, when she and Mei Xue went on missions alone and ran around Terra, they probably relied on these plants to protect themselves. After all, the little fox was confident that she could set up a position within a minute, or at worst, throw a Destroyer Mushroom bomb.

However, for safety reasons, Mei Xue took out a two-millimeter steel plate from her tail and placed it 100 meters away from the small mushroom.

"Hit it."

The little mushroom, having received instructions, stared at the steel plate, spat out a ball of something resembling purple substance, and then pierced through the steel plate.

Compared to Mostima and Exusiai, who had already witnessed the fighting power of these things, Fiameta's expression was much more interesting. She looked at the two rows of mushrooms that Mei Xue had planted, and then glanced at the gun in her hand, and suddenly felt that this thing was not so appealing anymore.

“Sister Fia, it’s okay, I understand you. Actually, I’m starting to envy Mostima. At least she’s a sorceress.”

Exusiai patted Fiamet on the shoulder in sympathy, remembering that she herself had the urge to replace the halo on her head with that pea plant back then. Moreover, compared to other plants, the spore-shroom is a relatively mild one.

"You'd better not imitate her."

When Mostima was mentioned, Fiameta was furious. This guy just wouldn't say anything, wouldn't tell her what really happened back then, why Andorn betrayed her and caused Remian to be seriously injured, why Remian's injuries healed just over an hour after she left, and when exactly this guy found a boyfriend.

After all, she's not Sakta, and she doesn't have that halo around her head. Fiame can't empathize with them. Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Chapter 218 Mostima, Full

"Meixue, are you asleep?"

It was late at night, but Mostima noticed that the light was still on in Mei Xue's bed. However, the little fox's communicator was under the pillow, and Exusiai was lying next to her. It couldn't be that she was curled up in Mei Xue's bed.

However, the little fox did not answer. The faint blue color in the quilt suddenly disappeared. Mostima seemed to understand something and did not ask any further questions. He simply took out earplugs and plugged Mei Xue's ears.

"An uninvited guest has arrived."

Fiameta sat up and reached for her gun. As someone who had spent years roaming the wilderness, she wouldn't let her guard down completely at a time like this.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't wake Mei Xue up."

Although it was night, Mostima could still see the little fox's adorable sleeping face. She didn't care about the people approaching from outside, but if Fiameta made a move, it would be very noisy, and the earplugs might not be enough.

"Just those mushrooms?"

"These are enough. Let's go back to sleep."

"Oh...no, you get back to your own bed!"

Just as Fiameta was about to lie down, she suddenly discovered that Mostima had somehow gotten into Meixue's bed. Good heavens, doesn't this guy even know where he's supposed to be?!

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm just doing close protection."

Mostima's smile wasn't arrogant, but it was quite confident, giving off a righteous and awe-inspiring air. This made Fiameta's lips twitch, and he wanted nothing more than to give him a good thrashing. Damn it, you've already put your hand inside his clothes, so close!

"Stop babbling, you idiot..."

Halfway through her sentence, Fiameta's ears suddenly caught a commotion. Perhaps because they thought Mei Xue and the others had fallen asleep, the scavengers with ill intentions were eager to try their luck.

Regardless of the weapon—whether it was a broken wooden plank or a rusty steel pipe—they approached cautiously, already planning to knock off the other side's staff upon meeting them. A team of only four or five people was no match for them, while this side had more than a dozen.

But just as the group of scavengers approached, out of their sight, the mushrooms that Mei Xue had planted quietly peeked out.

In order to avoid being fed to Little Carp by the little fox, these mushrooms were extra vigilant. Upon noticing someone approaching with ill intentions, they all focused intently and launched an attack on the nearest scavenger.

Before Fiameta could even make a move, a piercing scream reached her ears, and even someone as experienced as her would instinctively shiver.

"Looks like we don't need to lift a finger. Let's go to sleep."

After saying that, Mostima hugged Mei Xue and lay down again. Fiameta, on the other hand, was not as carefree as her. She waited for a while, until the screams subsided and a few more minutes passed before she was sure there was no other noise outside before she was relieved.

Then she discovered that Mostima had shamelessly slept with Mei Xue, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

But actually Mostima hadn't gone to sleep, nor had Angelina. The screams from earlier had woken her up, but thankfully she quickly realized that nothing was wrong.

However, just as Fiameta was feeling down, Angelina discovered Mostima secretly touching the sleeping Meixue. She blushed with embarrassment, but didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend to be unconscious and turn her back to him. But her big ears could hear some sounds she shouldn't have heard.

Angelina thought to herself after a grueling night.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness outside, the scavengers who were targeted met with a fate befitting their desires and morals. A sandstorm swept through, burying all the blood under the dust, and their carcasses were carried away one by one by the hyenas that came out at night, as if they had never existed.

In the other deep pool team, although Mandra and Raphsini eventually managed to defeat the group of Originium Bugs and Rock Crabs that had been chasing them, they were far behind Mei Xue and the others, and still didn't know where they were.

What's worse is that two teammates were injured just now, and all the tires on the car were blown out, so they have to take time to rest. If this continues, we might not even see Mei Xue and the others.

"Why do I feel like I've been having such bad luck lately?"

Mandela carefully recalled what had happened to her recently, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. First, she was hit on the head by a chandelier, and then she encountered this kind of thing today. She felt that her head was the most injured part of her body.

"Could it be that you've been cursed?"

"How could that be possible? Are you an idiot?"

Although Raphsini is the leader's sister, it doesn't mean Mandela likes her that much. In fact, she dislikes her. Perhaps because of their sisterly relationship, the leader always favors his weak sister.

"..."

Although Mandra's words were harsh, what she said was indeed true. Although Terra's magic system was mixed and contained all sorts of spells, there were very few spells that could curse people, at least none of them.

"Cough! Cough!"

Perhaps he drank the water too quickly, Mandela choked, coughing and patting his chest repeatedly. Seeing this, Raphsini rushed to help, then slapped Mandela on the back.

Of course, she probably forgot how strong she was as a Draco, and slapped Mandra to the ground, knocking her unconscious.

Today, the cat was just as unlucky; she hadn't even had a bite to eat.

However, Mei Xue was unaware that she had gained another target of her curse. The little fox was currently chatting and drinking tea with Amaya and others in her dream. Of course, she was inevitably held in Ghost Shark's arms, and as a form of comfort, she had to let Amaya stroke her tail.

"Was that Levi a time traveler?"

Upon hearing this news, both the little fox and the ghost shark showed expressions of surprise, since the concept of a time traveler is usually only found in novels and TV series.

"Yes, and he's also a scientist, a very capable one. He even developed an ice cream that won't melt at 2000 degrees Celsius."

"...Are you guys obsessed with ice cream?"

Ghost Shark couldn't help but complain, after all, she didn't understand whether these sirens had some kind of obsession with ice cream, but Mei Xue in her arms was quite surprised and covered her mouth.

"Is it that great?"

"Well, but he said he does... nuclear science, and asked us if we have any weapons with the power to blow up a city with a single blow."

“Agor does have the capability to manufacture such weapons, but in order to fight against the Sea Siren, the Deep Sea Hunters basically use cold weapons.”

As a native of Agor, Ghost Shark was well aware of the level of science and technology in his hometown.

"Blow up a city, Destroyer Mushroom?"

Mei Xue thought for a moment. Although the explosion range of the Destruction Mushroom might not be as large as a city, the shock wave caused by the explosion would definitely not be small. But that guy named Levi is very intriguing.

"I'll ask him about it later. Let's not worry about it for now. These are the things you wanted, Master."

Amaya handed the documents in her hand to Mei Xue. These were all the materials they had obtained after reaching an agreement with Iberia. They were all kinds of research on the ocean, and many of them were even the hard work of the scientist Agor.

"After the Great Quiet, Iberia imposed a special blockade on news about the ocean, and various research materials were sealed off as a result. These are only a small part of it; they do not yet fully believe us."

"And what about Agor?"

Ghost Shark asked, expressing her greater concern for her homeland than for that land-based nation, but Amaya simply shook her head.

“We investigated Agor a long time ago. All I can say is that you'd better not rush back. That's not the Agor you know.”

Amaya didn't give any more specific details, but Ghost Shark had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. She sighed helplessly, clearly somewhat disappointed.

"Don't worry, sister, everything will be alright."

Mei Xue gently placed her hand on Ghost Shark's head and rubbed it. In this dream world, she could already sense other people's emotions to some extent, such as Amaya's hesitation and Ghost Shark's hidden worries.

Even with the Sirens' current strength, they can only help alleviate part of the crisis at most; the internal problems in Agor are far more serious.

However, Mei Xue's comforting words were not entirely ineffective. Ghost Shark gently rubbed his palm, putting those terrible things out of his mind, and then hugged Mei Xue tightly and kissed him on the cheek.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Meixue. Was the journey smooth?"

"Yeah, it's all good. Nothing happened. Sister A-Neng told me a lot about Laterano."

"That's good, but remember to take good care of yourself. Use what we give you when you need it, don't be stingy."

Ghost Shark's words made Mei Xue scratch her head helplessly, not knowing what to say. The little fox recalled the day he set off. If it weren't for his tail being able to hold a lot of things, he might have been physically crushed by the kindness of these older sisters.

Skadi gave her an orca pillow in the hope that the little fox would dream of her at night, the professor gave her a Laterano travel guide, and Amiya gave her a cute bunny eye mask, which is fairly normal.

Then let's look at what the others gave. Kal'tsit already gave a watch, so she asked Mei Xue to deliver a letter to the Pope of Laterano. Specter gave a chainsaw. The girls from Da Yan gave Mei Xue several scrolls, saying that when the little fox is fighting in a group, she should open the yellow scroll, and when fighting one-on-one, she should open the red scroll, or at the very least, the cyan scroll.

The most outrageous thing to do was Surtr, because she was worried that Meixue's fur would be hard to dry after a bath, so she simply gave the little fox Levadin to use as a stove.

Therefore, Mei Xue uses the Flaming Demon Sword for cooking and boiling water. It has no open flame, no odor, and the temperature can be adjusted, making it quite convenient. Like Mei Xue, it is an essential item for traveling.

However, since it was a greatsword, it was a bit troublesome for the little fox to swing it, and since he didn't know swordsmanship, he decided to forget about fighting.

"By the way, how's development over there?"

"Yes, everything is progressing smoothly. In general, we have developed our first warship and are currently testing the new engine."

Amaya seemed a little proud when she mentioned this, after all, this was a milestone for the Sirens. Of course, they didn't tell Mei Xue that the new warship didn't fire cannons, but used lasers.

The group chatted in the dream for a while, but considering that Mei Xue needed a normal routine, they would only stay in the mental network for a maximum of an hour each time before leaving, which meant that it would only take a few minutes for Mei Xue outside.

Everyone was fast asleep, including Fiameta and Angelina. So no one noticed that a swarm of pale blue butterflies emerged from one of Mei Xue's tails. They flew out of the tent and headed toward the scavengers who had originally intended to harm Mei Xue but had survived by chance.

The terrified scavengers had a nightmare about a monster that was grotesque and terrifying, larger than any mountain they had ever seen. The monster opened its mouth as if it were swallowing the entire starry sky.

The next day, these people never woke up again, but they didn't die; they were just asleep.

As the dawn's golden rays shone down, Mei Xue twitched her fox ears and opened her eyes. Still half asleep, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Mostima's waist, burying her head against her soft chest and nuzzling against her.

Although Mostima likes to wear button-down shirts to bed, knowing Mei Xue's personality well, she deliberately unbuttoned the top few buttons, causing the little fox to subconsciously have some close contact early in the morning, which woke her up.

"Hmm... You're like this first thing in the morning, I just can't do anything with you."
