The eight-tailed fox's dilemmas are always quite strange.

"If you are well-versed in ancient studies, you should know that there was a famous fairy tale in the last era—Snow White. That princess fell into a coma after eating an apple, right? So the little girl who ate the apple was probably Princess Cecilu, right? And the soldier could be Senior Sister Luo Zhisheng, or it could be Miss Lian Lan, but no matter what, it's always good to go there together."

"Is that so..."

Elusia's analysis suddenly made some sense to everyone.

However, if these characters truly refer to young girls today, then...

"So... does that mean that in the past, Senior Yicheng already foresaw our existence?"

"Hmm, that's quite possible, isn't it? After all, we'll be going back in time and meeting that pirate king named Cheesecake, right?"

Elusia glanced at Alice, who smiled and nodded in response.

"That's right, exactly. So you can think of this letter as coming from both the past and the future."

"!"

……

This possibility also stunned the girls.

Because everyone suddenly realized that if the world we live in now is built on the premise that the girls in the past successfully saved the world, then the world today may still bear traces of their struggles.

And these treasures...

"Alice, if we unlock the treasure, won't we be breaking the law of causality?"

Senior Yicheng also sighed and tentatively looked at the blonde little girl.

"Well, it should be fine. Solving this kind of puzzle should be within the limits of paradox and causality... But I'm also very curious about what she was trying to do by leaving such a puzzle behind."

"If that's the case..."

"Okay, let's search all over Drowning Harbor now and see if we can find any of the locations written on the envelope?"

And so the treasure hunt began.

Almost all the girls set out to search for clues hidden in time... After all, the "top of the stone tablet," the "golden field," the "black park," the "crimson ocean," and the "lonely tower at dusk" should all be the more eye-catching locations, right?

However, the result was...

Nothing was gained!

These places are either too strange to exist in reality, or they are described too vaguely, leaving too many alternative locations.

"Elcia, I can't find it here."

"Where is the crimson ocean in the Drowned Isles? Am I going to have to go back to the Lava Sea?"

"Su Ling hasn't been found either, boohoo..."

"Waaah! (Elcia, don't hold my hand, I want to go find it too!)"

……

Even though she gained nothing, Elusia did not seem discouraged.

She simply shook her head and said, "It's not that easy to solve after all. But everyone, have you noticed something?"

"matter?"

"Hmm, this letter doesn't actually mention Senior Yicheng at all. Senior Yicheng is also the successor of Hongyuan, so there should be some information about her."

"Yeah...yes! Why isn't Yicheng-senpai included? That's so unfair!"

Su Ling looked up, seemingly indignant on behalf of Senior Yi Cheng, but the orange-haired girl merely sighed and said:

"I think... it's not that there's no news about me, but rather that there's still some information that I need to activate my superhuman observational abilities to find those hidden clues."

"!"

"Elusia, do I need to take off my blindfold?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, senior."

"it is good."

……

……

Because she has been recovering from her injuries recently, Senior Yicheng has not been able to use her abilities.

Now, after a period of rest and recuperation, Yi Cheng's eyes have finally regained their clarity, but to the surprise of all the girls...

After staring at the treasure map, Senior Yicheng's expression became incredibly strange.

It was an expression that seemed to blend surprise, confusion, helplessness, relief, and a gentle smile... Such an expression was rarely seen among the girls on a normal day, let alone among the always expressionless senior, Yicheng.

"Senior Yicheng, what's wrong?"

"Hmm... at the end of the last sentence, an image is depicted in another way."

"image?"

"Hmm, it's a micron-level image. You might be able to see it with a microscope, right? But I think I can guess what these locations mean... These locations aren't isolated; they're grouped together. The golden fields actually refer to the beaches near the coast."

"The beach? The solitary tower and the monument, and the park..."

"Ah, speaking of the beach, I remember now!"

Luo Zhisheng clapped his hands and said to the girls, "Next to the beach, there is an abandoned lighthouse, an ancient relic! Perhaps the Lonely Tower refers to that one."

"Uh?"

"I remember now."

Lian Lan nodded and said, "There's a type of seaweed that absorbs sunlight during the day and turns crimson at dusk... This must be referring to the crimson ocean, right?"

"So all that's left are the park and the stone tablet?"

"Yes, let's set off again and search for it."

"Waaaaah!"

As if inspired, the energetic girls set off again!

Chapter 72 Treasure Bottle

Soon, following Luo Zhisheng's directions, everyone found the beach where they could see the lighthouse.

White waves danced on the sea surface, the air was very fresh, and because it was far from the city, there weren't many people around.

Standing on this beach, you can see the horizon where the sea and sky meet, and you can also see the seaweed floating with the seawater.

Resting in such a place would undoubtedly be very relaxing, but Lonnie looked around curiously.

Because there are only two puzzles left to solve.

A pitch-black park, and a little fox on a stone tablet.

There was nothing similar around here; all you could see were primitive landscapes, nothing special.

So, does that mean...?

Over time, the original parks and stone monuments in these places have been destroyed.

After all, when Luo Bei wrote this treasure map, it was a thousand years ago, and it's common for things to have changed since then.

and so……

"Waaaaah!"

"Hmph, you idiot Lonnies, I think if Cheesecake really knows about us, it must be because it has considered the situation a thousand years from now... Otherwise, how could there be a silly fox floating on the stone tablet?"

"Waaah!"

"So, we might have overlooked some information... Hmm, let's stop our search here for today. We'll continue searching first thing tomorrow morning."

"Huh?"

Lonnie blinked, wondering why Elusia had said to come back early the next morning.

However, everyone had been searching all day and was very tired... especially Lonnie, whose body was already not very mobile, and she was even more exhausted at this moment.

"I suggest we all take a break today. What do you all think?"

"Okay, that's settled then."

What are you all planning to eat that night?

"Anything is fine, how about garlic scallops? They're really popular around here lately."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

……

……

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

……

……

So the girls all went to rest.

However, while everyone was resting, Elusia secretly took Lonnie's hand and left the room.

"Waaah? (Elcia, what are you doing?)"

"Walking the dog is a big deal. Other people's dogs are walked every day, but my adopted dog just lies on the bed all day. It doesn't get enough exercise at all."

"Waaah! (That's so mean! Who's the puppy here?)"

"Hmph, a little fox with a collar, isn't that just a puppy? Stop talking nonsense and come out with me."

"Waaaaah..."
