Third, and finally, there are special monsters like succubus spores.
These monsters have unique life forms, including parasitic spores and deeply rooted tree spirits.
Unlike those beast-like monsters, they are not attached to territory, nor are they driven away by lords; they can even coexist with powerful lords.
In other words, if powerful new Radiant-rank monsters do appear on the outskirts of the Misty Mountains, these special monsters have absolutely no reason to leave their home.
One reason why no one in Klar City could see Marianne's real problem before was that succubus spores rarely appeared in human society, and most people did not recognize them. Only a former elite military doctor like Suzuran, who had studied various strange beings, knew how to deal with succubus spores.
The existence of these three doubts forced Valensa and Suzuran to abandon their initial conjectures and rethink their next steps and directions for the investigation.
"At present, the reason for the unusual activity of the monsters in the Misty Mountains is not that more powerful monsters are seizing territory, but rather that some kind of strange... well, let's just call it a natural phenomenon."
Linglan sipped her tea slowly, summarizing her experiences over the past few days:
"This natural phenomenon is suspected to have spatial teleportation capabilities; all the monsters involved will be randomly teleported within a certain range."
So even though the high-level adventurers stationed on the border of the Misty Mountains hadn't encountered anything, monsters from the Misty Mountains kept appearing behind them.
The presence of monsters like succubi, which almost never leave their habitat, in this area could also be explained by this theory... What do you think?
"My opinion is similar to yours."
Valensa nodded:
"So we need to be even more careful from now on—strange natural phenomena are more dangerous than monsters."
"It's not necessarily a natural phenomenon. Some powerful demon with spatial abilities could also cause this effect... But judging from the current scale of the anomaly, if that's the case, the demon's strength is probably above the Moon-level, which is very unlikely."
Lily of the Valley added:
"So... what are your plans for the investigation next? Will you stay here to gather information, or will you try to enter the Misty Mountains?"
"neither."
Valensa shook her head:
"I'm going to Sergin Town, north of Klar City, to visit some friends and complete the task that Teacher Zi gave me."
"Oh? So what are you planning to do about the principal's task?"
Lily of the Valley raised an eyebrow:
"Just write a report to get by? It's not impossible... After all, this time it might really be dangerous, it's normal for a coward like you to chicken out."
"How could that be! I am a cautious person, that's true, but I'm not that cowardly!"
Valensa rolled her eyes at Lily of the Valley, annoyed, and explained:
"I will definitely go into the Misty Mountains sooner or later, but not now... It just so happens that Teacher Zi needs me to help her observe and test someone. I plan to take that person to clear out the monsters near Sergin Town first, and see if we can find more clues."
As you know, men like to talk nonsense in front of pretty girls, so you can't believe everything you hear these past few days. You have to see things for yourself to know for sure.
Another point is that there are many high-level monsters in the Misty Mountains who know both the Headmaster and Teacher Zi.
These monsters are not only powerful, but also possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans, and they can even speak and write our human language.
If we're lucky enough to encounter one or two of these monsters, we'll gain a clearer understanding of what exactly happened in the Misty Mountains.
"I see... Well, okay then, I'll go to Sergintown with you."
Lily of the Valley hesitated for only a moment before agreeing with Valensa's suggestion.
Then she winked and gave a mischievous smile:
"But are you willing to leave here so soon? These past few nights, you and Shilin have been secretly meeting in the courtyard, and it's been quite passionate, hasn't it?"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. One night, you two deliberately came to my window and pinned her against it, bullying her while telling her to be quiet, saying you didn't want to disturb my sleep... I was actually awakened by you two a long time ago, okay? Do you know how hard I had to pretend to be asleep?"
Of course I know you were awake then, but that's what makes it exciting.
Valensa thought to herself, but her face remained serious:
“There’s nothing to be reluctant about. Shilin and I are just close friends. Now that her sister’s health has basically recovered, it’s time for us to leave.”
Chapter 235 Miss Meng, Go for it!
Valensa's judgment was absolutely correct.
Shilin is a very bold and passionate girl who is also very playful, but she is not clingy.
After Valensa took her leave, Sirin didn't try to persuade her to stay beyond the initial politeness. She simply said that Valensa was welcome to come visit her again anytime, and if the two of them weren't having enough fun, she could invite more friends to join the party.
Valensa simply smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.
With the intelligence gathered, Valensa and Lily of the Valley did not linger in Klar City after leaving Shirin's house, and went directly to Sergin Town.
Along the way, Valensa kept introducing the scenery on both sides of the official road to Linglan, recalling her battles with monsters in various places when she was still a novice.
The two rode their horses and chatted as they went, and time passed quickly. Before long, the outline of Sergin Town began to appear in their sight.
After a rapid sprint, the town became clearer, and the crowd gathered at the town's entrance was clearly visible to Valensa and Lily of the Valley.
"What happened? Why are so many people gathered together?"
The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat worried, and sped up once again.
However, once she arrived at the town, Valensa discovered that although there were many people gathered at the entrance, the atmosphere was relaxed and even quite cheerful.
It's like watching an idol performance in a crowd.
Upon closer observation, Valensa noticed that most of the people gathered there were men, and they all looked excited, as if they were watching a beautiful woman undress.
what's the situation?
Valensa was immediately curious. Instead of squeezing into the crowd, she grabbed Lily of the Valley and jumped lightly onto the nearest rooftop.
Now I can finally see it clearly.
What was being watched excitedly by a group of men was a battle between a young girl and a monster.
The monster is a bear goblin wielding a spiked club. It is very strong, but not very agile. Its overall strength should be around the Candlelight level.
The girl's strength was about the same. She had long, light-gold hair tied into pigtails, a white top and a white pleated skirt, and milky white pantyhose, which made her look exceptionally pure and cute.
But Valensa felt that the girl looked familiar, and also a little strange.
Until the shouts of the onlookers reached them:
"Miss Meng, go for it! Use your 'butt-slanting sword technique' to teach this monster a lesson!"
The Butt-Slanting Sword Technique? That's not...
Could this cute blonde girl with pigtails and white stockings be...?
"If I'm not mistaken."
At that moment, Lily of the Valley's incredulous voice rang out:
"The one fighting the monster... looks like a boy? But how is that possible? How can a boy look like that? This doesn't make any sense from a medical perspective!"
“Generally speaking, it is indeed impossible, but little Tucker... uh, looking at her now, the name Tucker feels a bit out of place, so let’s just call her Little Dream.”
Valensa explained to Lily of the Valley with a smile:
"Xiao Meng was originally a normal young man, but she was unlucky. First, she was attacked by a powerful monster and lost her arm. Then she was besieged by goblins and was seriously injured and on the verge of death."
She was very lucky... a witch saved her and gave her a very powerful potion.
The potion not only gave her new arms, but also enhanced her combat skills... Last year she was a complete novice, but now she can solo goblin bears.
But the witch's methods... you probably know them better than I do. They're very effective, but often come with strange side effects.
"So that's how it is, she was transformed into this state by the witch's potion..."
Lily of the Valley nodded, but curiosity remained in her eyes:
"Since you know her so well, you must know her too, right? Could you ask her to cooperate with me in conducting some research? I'd really like to know about her current physical condition."
"This should be fine."
Valensa smiled and nodded:
“When her body first started to change, I taught her women’s swordsmanship, and she was quite respectful to me. Also, another mission I came to Sergintown this time was to observe her.”
"Hehe, then I can help you observe her."
The lily of the valley, seemingly influenced by its surroundings, also revealed a wicked smile:
"Observe in a more professional way."
"Sure, just tell her it's a doctor examining her, she definitely won't refuse."
Valensa chuckled softly:
"But let's talk about these things after her battle with the goblin is over... If I remember correctly, the goblin has never appeared near Sergin Town before. He probably came from the Misty Mountains. We'll have to ask him about the cause of this later."
"Ah."
Linglan nodded and said nothing more, sitting on the rooftop with Valensa to watch the commotion.
Nearly a year of training, combined with the effects of the potion, has given Tucker the strength of a candlelight-level being, with a balanced development of strength, speed, and stamina.
Since she was weaker than the goblin bear, she didn't fight him head-on. Instead, she used feints to lure the goblin bear into launching powerful attacks that left it with a long recovery time, while secretly gathering her strength.
Finally, amidst the shouts of "Miss Meng, charge!" from the onlookers, the girl with white stockings, blonde hair, and twin ponytails seized the opportunity, explosively pushing off with her calves and launching her charge.
"It's here! It's Miss Meng's 'Slanted Butt Sword Technique'! Everyone, watch carefully!"
Among the onlookers were powerful Pearl-level adventurers who discerned the girl's intentions from her actions and loudly alerted their companions.
"Oh oh oh oh..."
The men were very excited, their eyes wide open.
brush!
Taking advantage of the bear goblin's momentary lapse in concentration as he struck down with his club, the girl in white silk tilted her body to the side, her small bottom sticking out as her pleated skirt billowed. At the same time, her longsword flashed like lightning, piercing the bear goblin's throat and then flicking upwards, splitting the bear goblin's head in two.
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...
The men watching immediately applauded and cheered.
"Wow, Miss Meng is amazing! She truly deserves to be our idol-level adventurer in Sergin Town!"
"Yes, yes... The last one as amazing as that idol-level adventurer was that young lady. But although she didn't have any aristocratic airs, she was still a high-ranking noble, so we could only admire her from afar."
“Miss Meng is different. She’s just an ordinary person like us, which means…”
"Please marry me, Miss Meng!"
As people were talking, a dark-skinned young man suddenly stepped out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee in front of the girl with white stockings and pigtails, and made a passionate declaration of love.
Valensa knew the young man; he was the son of a blacksmith in Sergintown. He already had a childhood sweetheart, a wife who wasn't very pretty.
Chapter 236 Moonlight and Black Flame
Tucker clearly had a lot of experience dealing with men suddenly jumping out to woo him.
She held down the still-fluffing hem of her pleated skirt with one hand, her face slightly flushed, a mixture of shyness and coquettishness:
"Oh, Rooney, you know I'm actually a boy... How could a boy marry you?"
"Boys and boys are fine too!"
The blacksmith stammered, then pressed on to the man:
“A boy as lovely as Miss Meng should definitely get married! Whoever marries you will be the envy of every man in town… I really want to experience that feeling, please grant me your wish, Miss Meng!”
"I'm sorry, Rooney, you're a good person!"
However, the blacksmith's fate was simply to be pinned down at lightning speed and to the laughter of the onlookers.
"Oh dear... even the warriors couldn't succeed today."
"I wonder who Miss Meng will end up with."
"Next, next... are there any other Warriors who want to go up?"
The small open space at the entrance to Sergin Town was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Hi, hi, hi..."
Just then, accompanied by a melodious voice, another beautiful woman appeared.
