Chapter 644 Isn't this a coincidence?
The new type of monster's strength far exceeded Su Tianqing's expectations.
Even when facing a fully equipped Hyacinth Squad, it managed to hold out for over ten minutes in its enclosed territory. However, due to the Hyacinth's relentless and unreasonable attacks, it finally revealed a weakness and was blown apart by a magic cannon shot from the Iris.
It must be said that even the Hellcat, observing from the sidelines, had high hopes for this new "domain" ability, but focused more on the entertainment it could provide—
"This ability was extracted from the residual magic power in that dark, unfinished building from last time, which I call the 'Dark Domain'," Su Tianqing explained simply.
"The monster's strength is set at the current level of the Zodiac Witch. It's an elite that I can barely mass-produce with my current abilities, but it can't be as tactically sophisticated as the Zodiac Witch. It's more like a... big toy."
"Its most valuable feature is its domain ability. Simply put, the specific coverage of a domain is closely related to its own magical power. The more magical power a domain has, the larger its range and strength, and the more 'rules' it can influence for a short period of time."
"I see... It seems somewhat similar to Garuda's abilities..." Fenrir said.
After concluding tonight's experiment with the new type of monster, the villains on the rooftop conducted a rigorous post-battle debriefing, observing and studying the entire process of the Hyacinth Squad's exploration and investigation in the monster's territory and their search for a breakthrough from multiple camera angles.
"Hyacinth's combat system is already quite mature." Watching the Hyacinth Squad's well-coordinated movements and swift close combat in the video, Hellcat gave them a very high rating, praising them as "outstanding."
"After witnessing the monster's domain ability for the first time, he was only panicked for a very short time. Within ten seconds, he was able to quickly regroup and strengthen his defense. Nightingale even managed to roughly figure out the surrounding environment within the domain within twenty seconds. Such combat skills are rare."
"Hmm... It's not just Nightingale's abilities that are outstanding; look, their subsequent exploration within the area was also very quick," Cheshire Rabbit said, pointing to the screen.
On the screen, Hyacinth and her group quickly adapted to the environment after entering the monster's territory. Perhaps because they had experienced similar dark environments beforehand, they were not too flustered. On the contrary, Iris seemed quite nervous at the beginning.
They even used small-caliber magic cannons to keep watch on their surroundings, fearing that Cheshire Rabbit might sneak into the domain in the dark and give them a classic replica of a dark, unfinished building.
The pink-haired bunny girl, the source of all evil, coughed lightly in an attempt to change the subject, while simultaneously fast-forwarding to skip the tense scenes of the irises, lest Meng Donghua, who was seriously observing and learning, notice anything.
Fire prevention, theft prevention, and rabbit prevention are essential principles to follow when training Meng Donghua.
But as the conversation went on, the topic quickly shifted from the Hyacinth Squad's outstanding performance to the monster's domain ability, with everyone discussing its potential uses.
"How about a region where the temperature gets very high?"
"The field of changing the weather... isn't very practical, and it might even cause fires."
"How about making the plants in the area grow wildly, like the magic beans that lead to heaven in the clouds?"
"This is interesting!"
Fenrir felt he couldn't join his companions' enthusiastic discussion on this topic, as he lacked sufficient knowledge and experience in finding fault.
Why does Heart Moon Fox always have an endless stream of ingenious ideas? And these ideas all seem quite interesting. Fenrir feels that even if he had a month, he might not be able to come up with a thought like, "How about we create a beach area where all clothes turn into swimsuits?"
"Why……"
The gray wolf girl couldn't help but sigh. Although she was still sitting in the villain's rooftop living room listening to the discussion, she had already silently taken out her phone and planned to spend the rest of the day watching videos.
You can't force yourself to participate in a discussion you have absolutely no clue about, as that would only make your thinking quite chaotic. It's better to wait until they come to a conclusion before offering your opinion.
"brush."
The video software opened, and the girl with the gray wolf expressionlessly scrolled through the colorful homepage videos on the screen and scrolled them away.
These are all content I've seen countless times... Even after clearing my personal tags, I still quickly return to the homepage. It's hard to know what kind of algorithm recommends videos from a shrimp head fan group like "Autumn Osmanthus Lunchbox Appreciation" to me.
To be honest, those fans who used Qiu Gui's shoes as lunchboxes are really going all out. Could it be that someone is actually planning to make a lunchbox in the shape of a shoe?
...Really not?
Forcing herself to abandon these thoughts that were drifting towards a certain mobile game, the gray wolf girl turned her mind back to what was in front of her.
However, when it came to Qiu Gui, Fenrir immediately thought of their new song. When she opened the charts, she saw that the number of plays had soared to 800,000 and was heading straight for a million plays, even temporarily surpassing the lullaby recently recorded by Magical Girl Fox Official.
This piqued her interest.
In fact, Fei Yelan herself is not a fan of celebrities, and her interest in magical girls is only superficial. She doesn't have any special feelings about the idol group Fenrir, Qiu Gui. At most, she has gone to hang out with them a few times.
The reason I used the Heart World Play Card to trade that box of merchandise with them was purely because of a certain pink-haired bunny girl. Those limited-edition and discontinued items were enough to make the bunny happy for half a year.
"...Why don't we click on it and take a look? Rabbit seems to really like this new song." Fei Yelan suddenly thought.
I quietly put on my Bluetooth earphones, opened the music video, and the music started playing in my earphones. The rhythmic percussion and vocals made my wolf tail sway slightly, and my eyes squinted. I nodded gently to keep up with the beat.
It really sounds pretty good, doesn't it? It seems that Qiu Gui and the others aren't the kind of idols who just rely on their looks to hold concerts and make a living, as I imagined. They have some real talent.
When the girl in the gray wolf video rewound the MV to the part before the chorus, intending to listen to the catchy chorus again, Fei Yelan suddenly noticed a dark shadow that flashed by in the background of the video.
What's wrong? Is your phone stuck?
Fei Yelan's first reaction was that her phone, which she had used for many years, was glitching again, but judging from the continuity of the music, there seemed to be no sign of lag. She swiped her finger to rewind to the previous scene and gently tapped pause.
That glance made the gray wolf gasp.
...No, it's not that the phone is lagging; this shadowy figure is a real thing that exists in the video.
With bright red eyes and a huge body, its shape was obscured by the ruins of the building, making it difficult to see its exact form. But it was definitely a pitch-black thing that was about the height of a three or four-story building.
Interesting. Is this some kind of interactive mystery/easter egg? Could it be that the music video has a scripted route for solving a mystery? Fei Yelan suddenly looked at Qiu Gui and the others with new eyes.
After watching the brief frames of the dark object appearing on the screen several times, Fei Yelan's smile disappeared. She squinted and stared intently at the screen, even zooming in to examine the details.
Unraveling the Easter egg? Probably not...
A strange sense of worry welled up in Fei Yelan's heart.
This thing doesn't seem like something that would appear in a proper video or music video. What... what is it...?
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Fei Yelan quickly stopped the golden-haired fox who was drinking water and handed the phone screen to the strange master.
"Fox, look at this."
"Hmm? Doggy, you're watching Miss Qiu Gui's new song MV too? I think it's pretty good too." The fox girl glanced at the familiar video title on the screen and tilted her head in confusion.
"No, no! Although I'd love to say I'm a wolf, take a look at this first!"
No longer having time to consider these issues related to racial identity, Fei Yelan quickly pointed to the paused video on the screen, pointing to the huge black shadow in the background.
"Look at this, is this a video Easter egg or something weird? I have a feeling something's not quite right."
"Mmm..."
The golden fox reached out and took the phone. It stared at the screen for a few seconds, and its curious gaze quickly turned into astonishment. It even opened its mouth slightly, pricked up its ears, and straightened its fox tail.
"Huh? Wait a minute, this...this isn't the one I just made..."
"Wait, wait, isn't this Qiu Gui and the others' new song MV? Where did they get this from??"
Su Tianqing suddenly felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
The shadowy figure in the video isn't some Easter egg; it's another domain witch I'm still experimenting with! Because the domain effects were very unstable during the experiment, it was temporarily shelved. Why is it appearing here...?
Su Tianqing pursed her lips and racked her brains for a while, but she couldn't figure out how Qiu Gui could get such an experimental weirdo who had never been publicly released from her hands.
Then, the fox girl turned her gaze to the slightly nervous gray wolf girl, her expression more serious than ever before.
"Doggy, tell me honestly, what did you trade with Miss Qiugui and the others for that box of merchandise?"
"This...this..."
The gray wolf shrank back, looking timid, as if realizing what Qiu Gui and the others had done. He said nervously:
"I'm using... the Mindscape World Experience Card..."
"Hmm?" The fox girl raised an eyebrow, as if she had heard an unexpected term.
"A Mindset World Experience Card?"
"Yeah, that travel pass... Could it be something super dangerous? I... I... I'll find a way to get it back tomorrow!" Fei Yelan panicked a bit and said hastily.
But the fox spirit suddenly broke into a joyful smile, catching Fei Yelan completely off guard.
"I see, I see, so that's how it is... I was just worried about who would participate in my experiment! You gave it to Miss Qiugui, right? You're so amazing, Doggy!!"
Seeing the fox girl's drastically different expressions and demeanor, Fei Yelan felt like a country bumpkin, completely unable to understand what was going on in this city fox's mind.
But one thing is certain: the mountain town where Qiu Gui lives will face an unprecedented "major crisis".
A crisis known as Heart Moon Fox.
