Chapter 431: Being targeted by He!
On a relatively flat high ground about one kilometer away from the battlefield littered with corpses of disaster beasts.
Xiao Bailian chose this place as the location for establishing a temporary base and began to make simple arrangements.
This area is relatively high in elevation and has a wide field of view, allowing for good observation of changes in the surrounding environment.
At the same time, this place is not too far from the water source found by Violet, making it convenient for team members to get water.
Most importantly, there is no strong bloody smell emitted by the corpses of disaster beasts, which will not attract dangerous creatures that feed on carrion to come and feed.
Since this is only a temporary base, there is no need for overly complex and detailed construction work.
Xiao Bailian only needs to arrange for the team members to set up some basic necessary facilities, such as simple fortifications, guard posts, and build a few tents for rest.
The entire arrangement process does not require too much time and energy. After all, they should not stay here for too long.
After completing the basic layout of the stronghold, Xiao Bailian immediately began to count which mechanical equipment could continue to be used normally during the fierce attack and destruction by the disaster beasts just now.
"A lot of equipment is broken. What should I do?"
Xiao Bailian muttered to herself with a frustrated look on her face.
On the other side, Violet was responsible for moving the aircraft, which had lost its ability to fly, to a new location using her powerful physical strength.
Although the aircraft can no longer fly, its hull structure is still relatively intact and can be used as a temporary command center or storage space.
After moving the aircraft, Violet held the cute little fox and sat quietly on the top of the broken aircraft.
This position is relatively high, providing her with an excellent observation angle, allowing her to clearly observe the environment around the entire stronghold.
As the strongest fighter in the team, Violet consciously assumed the responsibility of vigilance and guarding.
The little fox seemed very comfortable and content in her arms, making soft "weeping" sounds from time to time, as if enjoying the feeling of being protected.
……
On the ground not far below the aircraft, Lily was assisting other team members in inspecting and organizing various equipment.
However, she always raised her head from time to time and cast her eyes on Violet sitting on the top of the aircraft.
To be more precise, her attention was mainly focused on the mysterious little fox in Violet's arms.
Lily's eyes showed a deep curiosity and interest, an expression that often appeared when she was studying new things.
As a professional researcher, Lily has a strong desire to explore various unknown creatures and phenomena.
The sudden appearance of this special-looking little fox naturally aroused her research interest.
After a while, Lily came to Shiloh who was busy working.
She lowered her voice and asked softly.
"what happened?"
Lily's tone was filled with obvious curiosity.
"Where did that little fox Violet is holding in her arms come from?"
She continued to press for details.
"How come I've never seen this little animal before? Did you encounter it when you were out exploring just now?"
Hearing Lily's question, Shiloh stopped what he was doing and looked up at Violet who was sitting on top of the aircraft.
Then she answered in the same low voice:
"Just now, when Violet was fighting off the large-scale attack of the disaster beasts, this little fox must have been hiding somewhere safe and didn't escape with the other disaster beasts."
"Then when we went looking for water, we happened to find her near that hidden waterfall."
Lily became visibly more interested after hearing this explanation.
"According to what you said," she began, "if this little fox is really a disaster beast, it is likely an extremely rare species."
Lily's eyes revealed the excitement unique to a professional researcher.
"I've never seen a small disaster beast with such high intelligence."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something important and immediately turned to Shiloh and continued asking.
"By the way, what is this little fox's special ability?"
Lily's tone became more urgent.
"Has she ever demonstrated any extraordinary skills or talents in front of you?"
As she spoke, Lily's eyes began to light up noticeably, a characteristic glint of her interest in a novel research subject.
Seeing Lily's reaction, Shiloh immediately understood what she was really thinking.
This crazy researcher probably has developed a strong research interest in the cute little fox.
So Shiloh quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
"I think it's better for you not to hit on her."
There was a clear warning in Shiloh's tone.
After saying that, Shiloh silently added an important reminder in his heart.
After all, no matter how low their voices were, their conversation could probably be heard clearly by Violet who was sitting high up.
The goblins' extraordinary hearing ability is no joke. In such a relatively quiet environment, it is almost impossible to avoid Violet's perception.
Lily seemed a little confused when she heard Shiloh's advice.
"why?"
She asked with a frown.
"It's just some basic observation and research. It won't cause any harm to her."
Lily continued to defend her ideas.
"And if we can figure out the characteristics of her abilities, it might be helpful for our next actions."
In response to Lily's questioning, Shiloh did not give any further explanation.
She just shook her head and went back to her busy work.
Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, smart people should be able to understand the deeper meaning.
Lily frowned at Shiloh's attitude, looking even more confused.
However, she did not continue to ask questions, but began to secretly and quietly look at the mysterious little fox in Violet's arms sitting on the top of the aircraft.
Lily stroked her chin with her hand, lost in deep thought.
……
What Lily didn't know was that while she was having this whispered conversation with Shiloh, Violet, who was sitting on top of the aircraft, moved her ears slightly.
Thanks to the fairy's extraordinary hearing ability, almost all the conversations between them were clearly heard by Violet.
As the first generation fairy, Violet's perception ability is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Even whispers from a distance sounded as clear to her as if they were spoken directly in her ear.
Lily's research interest in the little fox and Shiloh's attempt to stop it, these details did not escape Violet's keen perception.
After listening to the conversation below, Violet looked down at the little fox lying happily on her legs.
She stretched out her hands and gently lifted the cute little fox up so that they could communicate face to face.
Violet said softly:
"Little fox, it looks like you've been targeted by some malicious cult member."
Violet's tone was relaxed, as if she was joking with an old friend.
"That Lily seems to be very interested in you. If she sets her sights on you, it will probably be very troublesome."
Hearing Violet's words, the little fox just let out a soft "meow".
The attitude she put on made her look completely unconcerned, and she even had a sense of calmness and composure.
There was no panic or worry in those big round eyes, but instead revealed an inexplicable confidence.
Seeing the little fox's reaction, a gentle smile appeared on Violet's face.
"You don't look scared at all."
There was a hint of appreciation in Violet's tone.
"But you really don't have to worry too much."
She continued to comfort the little fox in her arms.
"After all, I'm here to protect you, and no one else can touch you for the time being."
As she spoke, Violet gently placed the little fox on her lap again.
Then she stretched out her white, slender fingers and began to gently comb the soft and fluffy hair on the little fox.
This action is very gentle and makes the little fox feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Violet's technique was very skillful, as if she had done this kind of thing often before.
Her fingertips gently shuttled through the little fox's fur, arranging the slightly messy hair into order.
Maybe it's because I have no resistance to cute things, or maybe it's because of some other deeper reasons.
In short, Violet felt that she seemed to like this little fox that suddenly appeared.
Holding this soft and cute little guy in her arms always makes her feel inexplicably safe.
This feeling is wonderful, like finding some long-lost warmth.
It was as if she was immersed in the eternal spiritual realm, and Feiying's second personality, Baiying, brought her a sense of security.
Although she couldn't explain where this feeling came from.
But there is no doubt that this little fox did bring her unprecedented psychological comfort.
……
And just as Violet and the little fox were developing this special relationship.
In a distant fragment of the world.
In the goddess's kingdom, Tao Yao, who was multitasking, slowly opened her eyes, ending her short nap.
She stretched herself and felt the eternal and peaceful atmosphere in the kingdom of God.
As the master of this divine realm, Tao Yao can perceive the situations in multiple different spaces at the same time. This is the so-called ability to multitask.
The moment she opened her eyes, the system elf Xiaoxiao beside her immediately noticed that her master had awakened.
Xiaoxiao hurriedly flew to Taoyao and spoke using her unique communication method.
[Master, isn't it a bit abrupt for you to just appear next to Violet like this?]
There was a hint of worry in Xiao Xiao's tone.
[Although you have transformed into a little fox, will your sudden appearance arouse her suspicion?]
[After all, Violet is a fairy after all, and her perception is very sharp. If she notices anything unusual...]
Hearing Xiaoxiao's concerns, Taoyao waved his hand casually.
"What's so strange about that? I'm just a harmless little fox now."
Taoyao's tone was relaxed, without any tension or worry at all.
"And what evil could the little fox have in mind?"
She continued in a joking tone.
