Is the barking in Chapter 800 the important point?
On the way to the small fountain, Kate, whom Jacques had said was "dead," suddenly jumped out, startling everyone.
Upon learning that everyone had captured all the water cannon positions with Kong's help, Colonel Kate said that he would go "behind enemy lines to see what can be done" and that he would "return with the spoils when the sun sets into the sea and meet everyone in front of the tower."
In this underwater space, no one would believe that the sun would sink here, and naturally no one had any expectations of the sun "sinking into the sea and returning with its spoils".
Xu Ning, on the other hand, looked expectant. He nudged Katarina lightly with his elbow and chuckled softly, "What kind of results do you think you'll achieve?"
Caterpillar gave a wry smile.
"If joining the Narcissus Cross is considered 'going deep behind enemy lines,' then I brought back no results and even caused Marianne's death..."
Seeing that he was stuck in a rut, Xu Ning's smile faded. "You know in your heart that it wasn't your fault."
Caterpillar shook his head slightly. "Over the past four hundred years, I've come to terms with everything, except for Marian. I still feel indebted to her. I can never forget the way she brought Alan to see me. I always have this feeling that I can find her here..."
Xu Ning didn't say anything more, patted his youthful shoulder gently, and walked forward again.
However, after walking a short distance, Caterpillar suddenly quickened his pace and then started jogging.
On a stone platform not far ahead, a girl who was still in her water form sat quietly, tilting her head and smiling as she looked down at the small animals.
"Is...is it you?"
Katpira stopped abruptly after running only a few steps. The girl showed no signs of life; she must have just been a statue.
Xu Ning and Seymour slowly walked up from behind and also saw the girl's face clearly.
“Seymour, you’ve been unusually quiet since you came in. By the way, is that your master sitting over there?”
Seymour seemed to ponder for a moment, “Everything here is illogical, and I can’t make any accurate judgments, but the one sitting there is just a statue, so I can assume she is not my master.”
“I didn’t mean to say it was her, I was just asking about her appearance… Never mind, I’ll just assume it is her. I sense that not only Paimon and the others have become stupid here, but even you have become stupid.”
Xu Ning knew that for machines, the metaphors in fairy tales were the most difficult things for them to understand.
This is why people are used to recording and representing many important messages through fairy tales.
Paimon wanted to get closer to the statue to see if it was really a statue, but suddenly a forest boar emerged from the bushes.
"Oh? This is another new companion. What's your name...?"
Before Paimon could finish his question, Kong suddenly shouted, "Paimon, watch out!"
The boar sniffed the air almost once before burying its head deeply.
Both Xu Ning and Kong knew that this posture was a common attack method used by Lin Zhu, so Kong immediately issued a warning.
Lin Zhu lowered its head, barking "Woof woof, it's a bad guy!" and charged straight at Paimon.
Paimon panicked and turned to run away, yelling, "Why is Lin Zhu barking? Why is he barking...?"
Xu Ning laughed from behind, "Is barking the point? The point is that it immediately assumes you're a bad guy, isn't it?"
Fortunately, the little water sprite Ann rushed out and shouted, "Molly, no! They are good people, you silly dog! But I didn't expect you to have stayed here all this time, it's really not easy for you."
Morrie replied gruffly, "As long as the princess is here, Morrie will be here to protect her."
An sighed, "You're such a stupid dog. This is just a statue. The princess is still inside the tower. You go and meet everyone at the entrance. We need to go upstairs to retrieve the most precious treasure."
Kong looked at the huge bubble at the small fountain. "We flew up on this... uh, into the sea... It sounds weird, like the sky and the sea are upside down. But it looks like this bubble can't hold too many people."
Xu Ning nodded. "You can go up and get it. This is just a fairy tale, so there shouldn't be any powerful enemies that can stump you. We'll take Morrie and Seymour to the tower entrance and wait for you."
Kong glanced at Seymour and Morrie beside Xu Ning, suddenly understood the meaning of "stupid dog," and smiled.
"Okay, I'll go find my older brother and meet up in a bit."
The wait at the door wasn't too long; the animals were making a lot of noise, and Kate, who returned shortly after, immediately started arguing with Jacques.
Xu Ning drank his wine with great interest, watching them banter. He had to admit that Frog Jacques was the strongest fighter, almost simultaneously mocking Duck Al and Squirrel Kate, and holding his own.
Although they were eventually subdued by Mori using "force," Jacques and Kate each got a thud on their backsides.
"Boys, you're really noisy, but don't forget about friendship just because of differences in beliefs and stances."
Ann patted Mori's head approvingly. "We've obtained the treasure and released its power. The tower will recover from its stagnation, and time will begin to flow again. We must act quickly..."
Kong took out a pocket watch from his bosom; it looked like the treasure he had found in the sea in the sky.
He pointed his pocket watch at the door, and then he saw the massive doors slowly and silently open.
"Let's go inside quickly!"
Kong led An and the small animals in, and Xu Ning followed behind with Seymour and Caterpillar at a leisurely pace.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as we entered, a group of water sprites appeared, laughing and cheering wildly.
"Thanks to your Narcissus Cross Adventurer Group, the seal on the tower has finally been broken. Let's go!"
Kong slapped a water ball away and said with a wry smile, "These little things know how to reap the benefits without so much, but what can they do when they're so weak?"
Little Cabbage exclaimed, "Don't underestimate them! They are the Four Heavenly Kings under King Narcissus, and they are very formidable opponents."
This shout made Kong tremble, and he involuntarily hit a little harder, smashing a water ball that was shouting "The advantage is mine" to the ground on the spot.
"They are the Four Heavenly Kings!?"
The way he shouted those words was almost out of control.
Three cannon positions, four Heavenly Kings, and the final demonic dragon...
What kind of fairy tale is this? What are we actually doing?
Who are the enemies, and who are we the ones who need to be saved?
