But before anyone else could speak, Fike immediately continued.
"Think about it, everyone. If Vanessa and I left, the only ones left on the team would be Lord Ice Star, Branch Chief Pame, Heloise, and Captain Pride. Furthermore, Lord Ice Star is still unable to use magic in combat."
Fike saved Shirley's face, but there was actually one thing he didn't say, which was that Shirley was not only unable to fight, but was also the target of the enemy.
In other words, she is now the one who needs to be protected, and is the shortest plank in the barrel effect.
"It will take at least ten days to get from here to Cuilin City. By the time Cuilin City's reinforcements arrive in Dris Town, it will probably be a month. With such a long time, I think it will be very dangerous for anyone to stay here."
As Fike spoke, he scanned everyone's expressions. He could see that everyone understood the "potential risks" he wanted to express, so he could be brief on the rest of the topic.
"So, even if Vanessa and I succeed, if Lord Bingjixing is captured, or if Heloise and the others are harmed, then Vanessa and I's actions will be meaningless."
·
Fike's idea forced Vanessa to abandon her plan.
Now, everyone's thoughts have returned to the direction of breaking through together.
When the action plan involves frontal combat, there are many details that need to be considered. Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, but Captain Pride remained silent for some reason.
After a moment of silence, Pride suddenly raised his hand, interrupting the discussion.
"Sorry everyone, I have a new idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
Pride said that he came to Dris Town riding the Pegasus Shasha of the Cuilin City Cavalry Regiment. If the werewolves had not murdered the Pegasus Shasha, it should still be imprisoned in a stable near Dris Town.
As an excellent Pegasus, Pegasus Shasha can fly up to nearly two hundred meters in the air. If you can ride it, you can break through the encirclement of the werewolves from the air and fly directly to Cuilin City.
Before Pride finished speaking, everyone's eyes sparkled with the light of having discovered new hope. This was the best plan proposed so far!
"I agree. From what I know, werewolves don't have strong anti-aircraft attack capabilities. A height of 200 meters is absolutely safe."
Ice Star Shirley gave a rare full approval, and then others also praised Pride's brilliant ideas.
Fike was thinking quietly on the side. He imagined that two hundred meters was equivalent to the height of a sixty-story building. For the werewolves on the ground, they could only see a small figure flying past, and they would definitely not be able to shoot it with ordinary bows and arrows.
In addition, Pegasus's flight ignores the terrain and can reach Cuilin City faster to report the news, which is another great advantage.
(All that remains is... I hope Tenma Sasa is still alive.)
Just when Fike was about to express his agreement, Pride poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Everyone, don't be too optimistic. Even if we can recapture Tianma Shasha, it can only carry one person."
·
It can only carry one person, which means that if this plan is implemented, Vanessa will have to go to Cuilin City alone.
When Vanessa heard Captain Pride's words, she immediately felt miserable.
She originally thought that she could spend a tense, shy and exciting time with Lord Feike, but how come, as they were talking, she unknowingly found that she was going to be "exiled" to Cuilin City alone?
Moreover, the situation did not give Vanessa a chance to think. After Pride poured cold water on her, everyone's eyes quickly fell on Vanessa again. The invisible burden of responsibility on her shoulders made Vanessa want to cry but had no tears.
——(If you had known earlier, you wouldn’t have tried to be so brave?)
——(Why would I be the most suitable person to go to Green Forest City??)
——(Will there still be a place for me by Master Fike’s side when we meet next time???)
Vanessa appeared calm on the surface, but was devastated inside. She racked her brains but could not think of any way to break the deadlock.
Her only hope now is that the next operation to recapture Tianma Shasha will fail, but she also does not want to affect the team's overall plan for her own selfish interests.
In the end, Vanessa took on the burden with a forced smile, remaining strong even though she was crying inside.
"No problem. Leave the mission to Cuilin City to me. I will definitely fulfill the mission."
·
After determining the action plan, the next step is to recapture Tianma Shasha, whose life or death is currently uncertain.
Pride proposed to take Tianma Shasha back by himself, but was immediately ruthlessly ridiculed by Ice Star Shirley.
Although the others didn't say anything, they actually held the same view as Shirley: no matter how you look at it, Pride is not the type who is good at stealth operations.
Then, Heloise, who had not had a chance to perform for a long time, jumped out at this time. She volunteered to fight for an "opportunity" for herself!
"The Evil Tiger King God will grant us protection in the dark night. Leave the infiltration to Fike and me!"

8.22 - A surprise
Vanessa was shocked when she heard what Heloise said. This little sister is really good at imitating others!
And from the perspective of feasibility, Heloise's idea is better than Vanessa's and will not pose too much risk to those who stay.
——(Damn it, I underestimated you, Heloise...)
——(The wisdom of the “grindstone” should not be underestimated!)
Originally, Vanessa wanted to unite Heloise and make her her younger sister. After all, their common "enemy" Shirley was so powerful. But now she suddenly felt that Heloise was not someone who was willing to be a concubine, so she had to be on guard against her!
"I don't think it's appropriate. Tianma Shasha doesn't even know you two. Wouldn't it be very difficult if she doesn't go with you?"
So Vanessa immediately interfered and did not give Heloise and Lord Fike the chance to be alone together.
Pride next to her also agreed with Vanessa's idea, and then proposed a new combination plan.
"Indeed. Why don't I go with Master Fike? Sasha and I are the closest."
If Pride went with Lord Fike, Vanessa would be relieved. No matter what, Pride could not compete with her for the position of future queen.
Everyone else had no objection to this, except Fei Ke, who expressed a different opinion at this time.
"That's not right. It's safest for me to go alone."
Moreover, he also gave out an important piece of information that no one knew.
"Yesterday, I met 'Bloodthirsty Serpent Orlosk' in the 'Maze - Green Ghost Lair'. I'm not sure if you've heard of him, but from what I saw, he's truly a monster. Furthermore, he entered through the entrance to Dris Town... In other words, if he's already left the maze, he's very likely somewhere near Dris Town now."
·
Jiang Ran knew he was right after he mentioned the title of Bloodthirsty Serpent. Everyone's faces turned pale as soon as they heard the title, which was enough to show how notorious this guy was.
"Fike...you, you really didn't see it wrong?"
Branch Minister Pam's voice trembled. As far as she knew, there were three towns in the Kingdom of West alone that had been massacred by the blood-sucking snake. This guy was an absolute devil.
"You're right. He almost killed me. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape from the maze."
Jiang Ran knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved. No matter what kind of "chemical reaction" occurred between the blood-sucking snakes and the werewolf clan, the current Dris Town must be extremely dangerous without a doubt.
Therefore, the "bulky" Captain Pride is definitely not suitable to go, and everyone's expressions show that they have understood this.
"Captain Pride, do you have anything that Tenma Sasa can recognize?"
"Eh? Ah, yes, yes."
Pride took off the fragrant grass bracelet on his wrist, presented it to Lord Feike with both hands, and said that as long as Tianma Shasha smelled the scent of the fragrant grass bracelet, she would know that Lord Feike was one of her own.
This is equivalent to him tacitly agreeing with Lord Fike's opinion and no longer following Lord Fike to the town of Dris.
"Okay, I'll be back soon. Everyone who stays in this cave should pay more attention to the situation outside."
Jiang Ran put on the Fangcao bracelet, and the next step was to race against time.
·
After Fike left the cave, everyone went about their own business.
Some are thinking (Shirley), some are exercising (Pride), and some have already started planning for the "happiness" of the second half of their lives.
Vanessa found Heloise who was about to take a nap, and took her to a corner of the cave.
In line with the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", Vanessa decided to recruit Heloise as a teammate to fight against Shirley, especially during the period when she might have to temporarily leave Lord Fike.
Vanessa directly lectured this naive girl who thought she would get pregnant by holding hands with others while sleeping, which made Heloise blush and her head smoke.
Then, on this ordinary yet special day, Vanessa and Heloise unexpectedly formed a good sister relationship.
·
The perspective returns to Jiang Ran's side. After leaving the cave hiding place, he was very careful along the way.
In addition to erasing his own traces as much as possible, he also kept an eye on every little movement around him.
Just after Jiang Ran walked in the mountains and forests for a while, he vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.
(Is it an enemy?)
(Riding horses in the mountains?)
For safety reasons, Jiang Ran immediately flew up a tree and hid.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, Jiang Ran felt more and more that the sound of horse hooves sounded so familiar... When the sound of horse hooves came nearby, he suddenly remembered that this was the sound of horse hooves on a small motorcycle!
Jiang Ran immediately jumped down from the tree and went towards the little motorcycle. After not seeing it for a night, the little motorcycle had several wounds on its body, but fortunately they were all superficial.
"Little Motorcycle! You've worked so hard!"
Jiang Ran stroked Xiao Moto's neck, and Xiao Moto lowered his head and rubbed it back and forth on Jiang Ran's chest. It was obvious that he was also very happy to meet his owner again.
Jiang Ran looked behind the small motorcycle and saw no other horses following. This meant that the small motorcycle had successfully completed the task of disbanding the horse team and was probably looking for a hiding place nearby.
Considering that riding a small motorcycle would be too conspicuous, Jiang Ran could not take it with him to the mission in Dris Town, so after this touching farewell, they had to say goodbye again.
Jiang Ran explained to Xiao Moto what he was going to do next and why he couldn't take it with him. After listening to it, Xiao Moto's reaction was a little strange.
The little motorcycle made two "whirring" sounds, then gently bit Jiang Ran's shoulder with its mouth, as if it wanted to take him somewhere.
Jiang Ran recalled Xiao Moto's various heroic performances and understanding, and decided to listen to Xiao Moto's advice at this critical moment.
Under the guidance of Xiao Moto, Jiang Ran came to a remote cave, and inside the cave was the "Tianma Shasha" that Jiang Ran was looking for!
·
Jiang Ran opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless.
Although he knew that the little motorcycle was always reliable, he didn't expect that the little motorcycle could be so reliable. It was simply a spirit!
Jiang Ran was in disbelief and kept looking back and forth between Xiao Moto and Tianma Shasha. Xiao Moto was humming triumphantly, while Tianma Shasha lowered her head with a shy look on her face.
Jiang Ran guessed that Tianma Shasha must have escaped during the chaos after the werewolves attacked the town of Dris, and was then discovered by Xiao Moto and brought to this cave.
If he hadn't had an unexpected encounter with Xiao Moto just now, Jiang Ran would have taken the risk of going to Dris Town in vain.
"Well done, little motorcycle, it's really great!"
Jiang Ran didn't know how to praise Xiao Moto. This guy didn't forget his woman even when he was in great trouble. He was truly a hero among horses!
Now that Tianma Shasha has been found, Jiang Ran must rush back to the cave in Mount Kamil to reunite with everyone as soon as possible.
But just when he was about to leave, Jiang Ran accidentally discovered that in the depths of the cave where Xiao Moto and Tianma Shasha were hiding, a familiar purple light was faintly emanating outwards.
8.23 - The Heroic Warhorse Xiao Moduo (Second Update)
(The purple glow, could it be...?)
Jiang Ran asked Xiao Moto and Tianma Shasha to wait at the entrance of the cave, and he went in to find out what was going on.
Then it didn't take long for him to find the source of the purple light.
(Just as I guessed, the feng shui of this cave is really good, right?)
The purple light emitting from the cave is an unmanned entrance to an advanced trial, and it is also the most difficult fifth-level purple trial.
Previously, when Branch Chief Oleg was giving Jiang Ran some knowledge about the advanced trials, he had mentioned that the entrance to the trials could appear anywhere, but this was the first time Jiang Ran had actually encountered one.
