After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

However, at that moment, a little girl secretly slipped out of her room and knocked on the office door.

"Wang?"

"Senior Yicheng, stop pretending."

Elusia tiptoed and pushed open the door... while Izumi lay prone by the window, looking into the distance.

"Woof woof?"

"Senior, stop barking now... I only came to my senses when I was attacked, so you must have come to your senses too."

The little girl walked straight up to Senior Yicheng, put her arm around her shoulder, and looked into the distance:

"Have you found anything?"

"No, there's absolutely nothing unusual about it."

"Phew... Hoffa didn't launch a sneak attack? It seems something terrible has happened in the City of Ruins."

Elusia frowned. She could sense other people's emotions, and of course, she could sense Hoffa's worry and fear.

"Yes, that's what I think too. But I don't know yet what strategy they used."

"This is probably the last trump card of the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom. We can't underestimate it."

"So, Captain Elusia, what do you need me to do?"

“The conventional approach might be risky. If an unexpected and formidable enemy appears tomorrow, you should have Lonnie…”

Chapter 50 Battle of the Ruins City

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

Even the normally turbulent sea of ​​ice and lava seemed to have calmed down, becoming as still as a lake.

Traveling through the underground world is a very unique experience: because the light doesn't come from overhead, but from the lava sea below.

So the girls' shadows were all projected onto the ceiling... This made Zhou Mixue feel slightly uncomfortable, because she always felt that her panties under her skirt were being "exposed".

Fortunately, after the terrifying experience of the previous day, the girl now had a certain level of resilience against "unexpected situations".

Although Izumi-senpai is still barking and Elusia is still looking wise, at least... everyone is still safe, right?

Today, my job is to take care of Lonnie in place of my junior, Elusia.

"Lonnie, don't move around, I'll feed you."

"Meow, meow!"

Looking at the little fox lying on the ground in front of her, Zhou Mixue blushed slightly.

Because Lonnies is just so adorable right now!

Soft fox ears, a big white tail... and those clear pupils are just like a child's, without a trace of impurity.

(Sigh, I wish my little sister was this cute. Honestly, I can't stop worrying about her.)

Actually, Zhou Mixue brought Zhou Suling out this time with the intention of giving her some exercise.

This way, she could grow or learn something... But Zhou Mixue didn't expect that each of her companions on the ship would be stranger than the last!

Even the originally mature and cunning Elusia has turned into a little loli, which has completely influenced Su Ling.

……

"Well, I don't really have the right to say anything. Spending all day flirting with cute female students at school, it's about time you grew up a bit, isn't it?"

Zhou Mixue sighed, then poured the milk from her bosom into a plate for Lonnie.

"Meow!"

Although the little white fox showed a joyful expression when she saw the milk, she didn't lick it with her tongue. Instead, she looked at Zhou Mixue pitifully, as if asking her something.

As a seasoned lover, Zhou Mixue immediately understood her concerns: "Don't worry, junior Ailucia is on duty today and has gone to the driver's seat."

"Woof..."

“I can’t take Lonnie with me, because it’ll be a bit busy there today… Little fox, you can’t skip your drink because of that, or I’ll tell your master.”

"Woof meow, woof woof!"

Although she still seemed a little worried, the little fox crawled down and licked the milk with her tongue... However, because a few strands of her side bangs were a bit long, some of the girl's silver hair also got into the milk.

"Oh, really, how can you be so careless?"

"Wang..."

"Never mind, junior, finish your drink first, I'll wipe it off for you later."

Zhou Mixue gazed tenderly at Lonnie's cheeks, preparing to give the little fox a good squeeze later.

But no one expected...

……

Clang!

……

With a loud crash, the entire ship's floor shook violently.

The little fox was drinking milk when this happened... She couldn't dodge it at all, and the milk splashed onto her face.

"Meow, woof!"

The little fox had never experienced such a surprise before, and was so frightened that she jumped onto the cabinet... spilling milk everywhere.

Although Senior Zhou Mixue wanted to hug the little fox and comfort her, she also understood what had happened on the ship...

Her worst fears came true.

The Time Traveler has been ambushed by the enemy!

……

-------------------------------

……

Fifteen minutes ago,

The Time Traveler is sailing on the vast sea of ​​icy lava, and the ruined city in the distance is already clearly visible... It is cylindrical, like a giant cake rising from the sea of ​​lava, straight up to the dome of the underground world.

Although it was too far away to see clearly, the architecture of the ruined city had a distinctly post-apocalyptic wasteland feel. Many buildings were constructed from steel pipes and discarded sheet metal, with a deep yellow liquid flowing from the pipes before slowly pouring into the sea of ​​lava.

(Is that one of the enemy's... headquarters?)

Looking at the buildings in the distance, it was impossible for Luo Zhisheng not to be nervous. In fact, for nearly a thousand years, no one had ever been able to go deep underground and truly appreciate the appearance of the underground world.

Therefore, Luo Zhisheng had no idea what dangers he might encounter.

However, because Elusia was by her side, she felt much more at ease...

"Senior Elusia, shall we continue?"

"Yes, of course. The enemy's main force has already been defeated by me at Ice Rock Fortress. Let's press on and march straight into the interior of the Ruins City."

Elusia made a very decisive decision, but just then...

"It's frozen mosquitoes; those frozen mosquitoes have come out again."

"Hmph, ignore them! I've already activated the heat engine, let's just charge straight at them~~"

A massive, frozen mass of over 200 creatures burst forth from the ruins of the city.

They charged toward the ship one after another, trying to stop the Time Traveler from moving forward...

But just like a mosquito, no matter how many there are, they are still just mosquitoes.

Even though they are enormous and have the unique ability to absorb heat, they are no match for the well-prepared Time Shuttle.

On the contrary, the Time Shuttle was very fast, and under the violent impact, dozens of mosquitoes were crushed into powder—it would be an exaggeration to say that these frozen mosquitoes were trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands. They could only try to swarm onto the ship from all sides and absorb heat.

However, the Time Shuttle's heating engine was also running, so the group didn't waste much energy along the way. Therefore, the indoor temperature quickly returned to normal after cooling down by only ten degrees.

These frozen mosquitoes were of little use; even when they were all exhausted, they only barely slowed the Time Traveler's progress.

"We made it! Captain Elusia, we did it!"

……

However, just as the girls were overjoyed at breaking through the frozen mosquitoes...

The vast sea of ​​lava suddenly boiled.

A huge vine stretched out from the lake and struck the bottom of the Time Traveler.

There wasn't even time to react; the vine moved so quickly that it immediately branched out and surrounded the Time Shuttle.

Although the massive ship broke free of the vine almost instantly

But then...

However, three, six, and countless vines rose from the ground, like a swarm of snakes leaping into the sky, and coiled around the Time Traveler.

Each of them carried the chill of the icy lava sea, eerily unlike anything found in this world... and no matter how indestructible the Time Traveler was, its momentum was being restricted.

Countless vines exerted their strength, attempting to drag the entire ship into the boiling sea of ​​lava.

Chapter 51 Lonely Leaves (Part 1)

"Captain Elusia, our ship has been compromised!"

Although the Time Shuttle had started all its engines, there were simply too many vines from the ground, which entangled the entire ship, rendering it completely immobile.

Elusia's reaction was equally decisive.

"Senior Yicheng, you take command of the ships. Princess Cecilu, Candel, follow me and we'll fight our way out!"

A flash of black light surrounded Elusia, and she transformed into the form of a young girl. With long, jet-black hair and eyes like raging flames, Elusia seemed to be trying to sever the vines to keep the ship moving forward.
