Chapter 215 It really happened as expected.
Chapter 215 It really happened as expected.
"Flower Bell."
"uh-huh?"
"I've come to understand something. In the process of continuously fighting against Xin Yuehu, I've finally come to understand."
"The more we try to confront Xin Yuehu head-on, the more we will fall into her trap, unless... we can surpass Xin Yuehu."
"...Xiao Feng, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I've decided—to scout out the location beforehand!"
The next morning, Nan Xiaofeng was on his way to the Guangzhou Wildlife Park when he spoke to the people around him.
Hua Ling took a deep look at her companion beside her and sighed.
Just last night, my group went to Suicheng Tower to intercept Xinyuehu's attack. The other party beat up Green Luo and her two companions, and then claimed that they would attack Suicheng Wildlife Park today.
"What do you think she'll be doing at the zoo?" Nan Xiaofeng asked.
"Kexin, you know a lot about Guangzhou Zoo, right? Is there anything special about it?"
Li Kexin, sitting in the front seat, paused for a moment, turned to look at the three people in the back, and shook her head.
"Although I'm a local from Guangzhou, I've never been to the zoo before, sorry."
"But I heard that this wildlife park in Guangzhou is one of the largest in the country, and the park is huge."
"Is that so..."
Nan Xiaofeng said thoughtfully, glancing out the car window at the rolling hills in the distance and the several cable cars on the mountain.
The movements of Xin Yuehu are always unpredictable.
Sometimes Nan Xiaofeng would have the idea of putting herself in someone else's shoes: if she were Xin Yuehu, what places would she mainly attack as a villainous magical girl?
It will likely focus on densely populated commercial areas, but that would raise the issue of evacuating people...
...No, why does the villain have to evacuate the crowd? A villain like Xin Yuehu who specifically evacuates the crowd is the odd one out!
"In short, our destination today is the wildlife park!"
Setting aside her distracting thoughts, Nan Xiaofeng, as the captain of the Hyacinth Team, made arrangements for today.
"We need to scout the area beforehand, prepare defenses, and set up defensive measures in places where Heart Moon Fox might launch an attack, to help with tonight's operation!"
Li Kexin didn't speak, but just sighed silently.
"Hey... I'm telling you, Xiao Feng."
"Hmm? Kexin, do you have a better suggestion?"
"It's not exactly a good suggestion... I'm asking, why are you all so sure that Xin Yuehu will attack the zoo today? What if she doesn't come?"
"But Xin Yuehu has already declared war, she's always..."
After Nan Xiaofeng finished speaking, he fell silent, realizing that it wasn't very reliable.
The three of them looked at each other in silence. Hua Ling wanted to say something, but then she understood the meaning behind her senior's words, which only confused her more.
"...Kexin is right."
Lin Muyao, on the other hand, spoke her mind frankly.
"Xiao Feng, think about it. Although Xin Yuehu has never broken her promise, we can't put all our eggs in one basket."
"Mmm... mmm..."
The girl pinched her chin, racking her brains, but ultimately couldn't come up with a better solution.
"Anyway, let's just wander around the zoo today. If Xin Yuehu changes her mind and chooses another place, we'll just consider it a day of fun!"
……
"Welcome to Guangzhou Wildlife Park."
"Please show your QR code and ticket in time and queue in an orderly manner to wait for the cable car..."
The zoo was bustling with activity.
It was during winter vacation, and a rare sunny day. The area was full of tourists, mostly children, but there were also groups of adults.
Su Tianqing glanced at the cable car queue not far away, then looked at the two people lying on the panda viewing platform not far away.
The weather in Guangzhou is quite warm today. Catgirl Nan Jiayu has changed out of her winter clothes from Chengdu. Her outfit consists of shorts, a pair of wool tights, and a shirt and cardigan—perhaps with the thin jacket she temporarily took off because she felt hot.
Xia Taotao, the pink-haired bunny girl standing to the side, was dressed as always in a denim overall dress and a pink top, with two braids and bunny ears sticking up high from the hole in her sun hat, as if she were collecting the sounds made by the pandas.
Orcs visiting a zoo sounds like a strange proposition, but it's not unusual in this world:
Beasts and orcs are two completely different species, with no similarities whatsoever except for their appearance. This is a conclusion Su Tianqing reached after reading several months of cutting-edge research papers.
This must be the power of magic, Su Tianqing thought to herself.
"Little Fish, Peach, what are you two looking at!"
The golden fox hopped between the two, and the three little heads all looked at the lush forest and the big, furry creature in the panda enclosure.
"I didn't expect to see pandas here," Xia Taotao said softly.
"Yeah, after seeing so many pandas in Chengdu, they're not all that special anymore," Su Tianqing replied, her fox tail swaying from side to side.
Chengdu is located in Sichuan Province, which has the largest panda base. The panda enclosure is a must-see in zoos, which caused three Chengdu residents to lose interest in the panda species altogether.
But the people around them were quite different. The children waved excitedly at the panda, and the adults joined in, greeting it or taking pictures, having a great time.
"Speaking of which, Tianqing said you wanted to come here to scout out the area and get familiar with the environment beforehand. We can't just be familiarizing ourselves with the environment, can we?"
Nan Jiayu suddenly thought of something and spoke up.
The golden fox grinned.
"Hehe... Of course, it can't just be about getting familiar with each other. I have a super amazing big plan."
After saying that, the fox girl secretly took out a small, unidentified item from her magical space and, with the help of cognitive concealment, quietly dropped it into the grass in the panda park.
"What is that?" Xia Taotao asked curiously.
The small prop quickly merged into the soil and disappeared without a trace, without any magical fluctuations, and it was nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye.
"This is the 'Fox Magic Tool' that we'll be using tonight."
"Hey, look, the panda is waving at us!"
Su Tianqing looked up and met the gaze of a panda. Whether it was sensing the magic of the three people or was simply excited, the fluffy panda waved its paws a few times in her direction, as if it were greeting her.
The golden fox waved its tail and little paws in response, attracting the attention of many tourists.
"As expected, the adorable fox is cute wherever it goes," Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
While setting up her carefully prepared magical props in the panda park, Su Tianqing had her familiar check the magical girl compass.
Sure enough, Hyacinth and her group were in this park.
Su Tianqing grinned as she received the location guidance from the compass from her familiar.
Do you think I won't break my promise, so you're planning to come here and stake out the place beforehand?
What a pity... I've seen all your actions, which only makes things easier for my plan.
"Little Fish, Peach."
"When you think of unusual events happening in the zoo, what comes to mind first?" Su Tianqing asked, looking at her companion who was strolling through the flamingo enclosure.
The three exchanged a glance.
"Abnormal events... like attacks by strange beings? Or perhaps animals have been influenced by astral magic and are causing chaos?"
Nan Jiayu's imagination was rather limited, so he had no choice but to be honest.
Xia Taotao thought for a few seconds, then answered softly:
"Speaking of which, I heard about something really interesting a while ago, something like... [The Zoo Rules Ghost Stories]..."
"That's right, that's it!"
Su Tianqing immediately gave a thumbs up and wagged her tail in praise.
Nan Jiayu raised an eyebrow, and the cat's tail also curled up, as if it had heard something very interesting.
The three villains immediately huddled together and began a heated discussion.
In the distance, Nan Xiaofeng sat in the cable car and suddenly felt a chill run down his back, causing him to shiver violently.
