Chapter 1235 Excitement

At the same time, in the strange cave hall emitting blue-green fluorescence.

Kosmo ran away with Grayshu who was unconscious due to being contaminated by unknown mucus, followed by a large group of giant tentacles. The "mushrooms" before were their disguise.

Kosmo dodged left and right, and every time he found an opportunity to strike back, he was stopped by a few familiar pink crystals. So after a period of silence, he had no choice but to run, trying to escape the clutches of a troublesome fairy lady.

"Bang! Boom!"

As Kosmo rushed out of the hall entrance, he almost ran into another group of people running towards him! It was Amethyst and Kevin!

Zijing and Kevin weren't in much better shape. Zijing's coat was missing, leaving her in only her shirt, the cuffs stained with suspicious fluorescent slime. She looked more distraught and helpless than ever before.

Kevin… Kevin, the eternally frozen Kevin, his white shirt had been melted almost to nothing by some corrosive mucus. A chill emanated from him, leaving a thin layer of ice wherever he passed. But behind him, seven or eight ferocious pink tentacles pursued him! The tentacles seemed wary of Kevin's chill, daring not to get too close, yet they persisted, like a piece of gummy bear that couldn't be shaken off.

The three of them, plus a fainted Gresh, nearly collided in the narrow passage. Kosmo held Gresh and slammed on the brakes, while Amethyst and Kevin also came to a sudden stop.

"later."

Amethyst spoke succinctly, pointing in the direction he and Kevin had come from, where tentacles were surging.

"..."

Kosmo also used his chin to indicate that the number of pursuers behind him was even greater.

Three pairs of eyes exchanged a quick glance, and instantly reached a consensus - run! Run in the direction where the road is not blocked!

"This way!"

Amethyst rushed first, heading for a slightly wider side road, followed closely by Kevin. Chilling air cleared the path, slowing the pursuers. Kosmo, clutching Gresh, took long, heavy but swift strides. The swarm of tentacles chasing behind him merged with the group pursuing Amethyst and Kevin, forming an even greater, slimy torrent that rumbled through the passage!

The three of them dashed left and right through the maze, their voices gurgling and the slick, rubbing noises approaching from behind. Just as they felt they were about to be drowned by the ocean of slime, the front suddenly opened up, and they rushed into a cavernous hall even larger and more spacious than the pool of fluorescent slime they had previously discovered!

"cherry!"

Zijing saw at a glance that in the center of the hall, Yaezakura was being entangled by five or six thick pink tentacles!

Yaezakura's figure was as fast as a ghost, and the sword light accurately cut the tentacles that were wrapped around her.

however--

scoff!

The blade passed through, leaving only a shallow white mark on the tentacle's surface, not even breaking the skin! The pink rubbery surface was extremely elastic and instantly returned to its original shape! In fact, due to the stimulation of the slash, the tentacles twisted even more excitedly, secreting more slippery mucus!

No matter how skilled Yaezakura's swordsmanship was, she was helpless against this opponent who was immune to physical attacks, slippery, and possessed a natural lubricant! She tried to dodge, but the tentacles were too numerous and the angles were tricky!

"Well!"

Yae Sakura grunted and struggled, but the power disparity, coupled with the slimy mucus, caused the katana to drop from her hand with a clang. In mere seconds, the formidable warrior was bound tightly by seven or eight tentacles, like a dumpling. From ankles to chest, only her head, shrouded in shock and shame, was visible! Her pink fox ears trembled slightly from the effort of her struggle.

"..."

Amethyst wanted to go forward to rescue.

"do not come!"

Yaesakura suddenly shouted rapidly, a barely perceptible blush on her face. It was obvious that the tied-up position and the touch of the slime made her extremely uncomfortable. "This thing... is very weird!"

However, it was too late. The noise of them rushing into the hall, and the bound Yae Sakura as "bait," instantly attracted the attention of every free-floating tentacles within! More pink tentacles, like sharks smelling blood, emerged from cracks in the rock wall, twisting excitedly and swarming towards Amethyst, Kevin, and the Kosmo holding Grace, forming a siege!

Just as everyone was about to follow in Yaezakura's footsteps and be drowned in this sea of pink slime—

"Dangdangdang~! Surprise~?"

A vibrant voice, like the sound of nature (or perhaps a demonic voice), echoed from above the hall! Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared out of thin air and landed on a towering rock platform in the center of the hall.

It's Alicia and Velvet.

Alicia changed out of her cool swimsuit and donned a more accessible adventure outfit, still in bright pink. In her hand, she held a megaphone shaped like... what looked like an oversized lollipop? A bright smile, a hint of success, adorned her face.

Velvet was wearing her signature mechanic's jacket, full of pockets and tools, holding a strangely shaped thing that looked like a remote control, with a malicious grin on her lips.

"Everyone! Welcome to the final stage of 'Pink Bubble Adventure'~!" Alicia used the "lollipop" loudspeaker, her voice clear and loud, drowning out the gurgling of the tentacles. "Are you having fun?"

"..."

No, not at all. Although she wanted to say that, Amethyst wasn't foolish enough to spoil her fun at this moment, so she nodded slightly. Kevin and Kosmo remained silent, tactfully doing the same thing.

"Hehe, I knew our hard work preparing for this game would not be in vain. So, next, let me introduce our lovely 'little pinks'~?"

Alicia pointed at the wiggling tentacles below. "This is the tentacle clone of the larval form of the Dreamy Bubble Octopus, a rare species that Velvi and I went to great lengths to 'invite' from some remote corner! Isn't it super cute?"

Weiwei added excitedly, "That's right! After my 'small' genetic adjustments and environmental simulations, they are now very adapted to this cave! The mucus they secrete is rich in a variety of rare elements and mild nerve relaxants. It is completely harmless to the human body and can even beautify the skin! The only side effect is..." She deliberately dragged out her voice, with a mischievous smile on her face.

Alysia answered in tacit agreement, pointing the megaphone below at the trapped Yaesakura and the male compatriots being chased in a panic, her tone filled with exaggerated sympathy: "When they meet someone they particularly like—especially one emitting strong 'male hormones'—they enter a state of extreme excitement! The mucus secreted during this state of excitement..."

Velvet suddenly pressed a button. "...it will have a powerful 'dissolving' property! Simply put—" she raised her voice and shouted at Zijing, Kevin, and Kosmo, whose faces suddenly changed drastically, "—it will dissolve all of your clothes except for the special protective materials! Surprising? Unexpected?"

As if to prove her words, the tentacles closest to Kevin suddenly became more pink and translucent, and secreted a large amount of silver-white mucus with a dangerous luster and higher viscosity at the tips, rushing towards his already half-naked body excitedly!
