Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 91 Is Alice the final trump card?
A dozen large, ferocious plague rats dispersed and slowly approached from different directions, with violent roars rolling out of their throats, sweeping past to form waves of disgusting, smelly and evil winds. They were clearly rats, but they felt like some ferocious beasts threatening and intimidating their prey.

Once you become afraid and lose the courage to confront them, and turn around and flee, you will expose your vulnerable back to their fangs, and there is no doubt that the only outcome is death.

Fortunately, although Alice's first impression of these guys was not very good, she only felt disgusted and did not run away.

She took the initiative to step forward, protecting Metien and Shemi behind her, and faced the vicious gazes of the plague rats alone.

"Squeak!!!"

The sharp sound constantly stimulated her fragile eardrums, which was more unpleasant than any monster's cry Alice had ever heard.

Along their paths, the originally vibrant land had been corroded by unknown liquids, forming a putrid swamp. From the filthy pits, gloomy gases emerged, like thick acid mist, turning the surroundings into a thick purgatory surrounded by miasma.

"Uh uh." Alice looked at this scene and couldn't help but twitch her lips: "It seems that the attitude of the mice is not very friendly?"

While speaking, she quietly placed her hand on the game console at her waist.

The situation is critical, but everything will be fine as long as you start the "First Fantasy" cartridge.

The tall and majestic stone warrior took a step forward, causing the ground beneath his feet to shake violently, as if it were a walking earthquake source. The cement ground was exposed under the lifted soil and gravel, and there were dark spots of filth all over, proving that this place was indeed in the city's sewer pipes, and not just the fairy maid's nonsense.

Who are you referring to? Picky carrots? Crying mushrooms? Or fried gallbladders?
It's no use! The only person who can turn the tide here is me, Alice...

Someone stood up earlier than her.

Hey, everyone?

but.

Although Shu Shu is brave, can he compare with Miss Fiyali from Linville City?

Combining, connecting, fitting, and assembling... it presents a majestic and shocking appearance. From Alice's current perspective, it is a huge monster that is at least ten meters high.

"We can't let these plague rats destroy the garden!"

Miss Xie Mi clenched the basket in her hand and said excitedly: "This is the combined combat form of the stone spirits. It is also the insurance that Big Sister left for the garden. As long as they are guarding it, no one can break through the hotel from here!"

It lowered its head stiffly, and although its movements were slow and jerky, like an old machine that had not been lubricated for a long time, it gave people a sense of violent majesty. Under its silent gaze, the rats that had been arrogant all took a step back and trembled.

As she spoke, she waved her fist vigorously: "Stone Spirit Warriors, attack!"

That is Miss Shemi, the fairy maid.

The solid body seems to be cast from obsidian by the god craftsmen of ancient times, full of majestic power; the surface of the thick arms is covered with rock barbs, and the soft moss and buds are replaced by sharp thorns, showing a savage and primitive breath; the tough feet step on the ground, like the magnificent pillars supporting the ancient temple; the face is blurred by wind and rain erosion, and it is difficult to find the facial features, but it still gives people a gloomy and steady feeling, as if it stands there, just like erecting a wall on the spot, which is difficult to cross.

Rumble——!
The ground suddenly shook violently, as if a giant was stretching his body underground, responding to Shemy's call. Amid the thunderous roar, the stone gardeners who had been standing by and watching blankly underwent amazing changes. Their bodies automatically disintegrated and returned to their original appearance, which was a piece of dark rock. Some were polished smooth, like pebbles laid on the riverbed; while others were wild, with lush moss and buds on the surface... At this moment, without exception, they flew towards the sky, and under the traction of some invisible force, they began to rebuild their bodies.

She still held the basket tightly with both hands, looked around, and shouted anxiously: "Quick, everyone, come together and destroy these evil undead spirits!"

The genius players were never afraid, but were eager to try: It’s time to stand up and save the world!

Alice was dumbfounded: "What is this, Gundam!?"

Boom!

The dark, heavy rock arm slowly rose up, and this movement alone made the sky and the earth groan. Then, it threw a powerful punch down, stirring up a whistling wind.

The punch was so powerful that it seemed to tear everything apart and smash everything to pieces. The violent momentum even choked the air, turning the surroundings into a stagnant and dull ocean. Under the oppressive appearance was the power of destruction and ruin. The few rats infected with the plague naturally could not resist this terrifying punch, and they fled to the side to avoid it. They moved quickly, but the stone warriors had a wider attack range. Therefore, there was still an unfortunate rat that didn't have time to escape and was hit by a punch. It didn't even make a scream and sank directly into the ground.

The terrifying roar was still trembling, and the stone warrior had slowly retracted its fist. There was only a deep sunken pit and a blurry mass of flesh and blood in the pit. The skin, flesh and bones were mixed together and smashed into an unknown object that needed mosaics to improve the image quality. Alice exclaimed: "Isn't this too violent?"

I like it very much.

Miss Shemi, who had been excited, turned pale when she saw Shushu's ugly and disgusting death. Metien had turned her head away and was retching silently.

After all, she is still a little girl and her psychological endurance is not very good. She needs more training.

The sudden appearance of the Stone Warriors made Alice, a talented gamer, lose her skills. She took her hands off the game console with some disappointment, put her hands on her hips, and began to appreciate its wonderful operation. It wasn't that exciting, it was just a punch and a mouse, the scene was bloody and violent, full of various elements that were not suitable for minors, but for Alice, it was quite relaxing.

Ah? You said Shushu is pitiful?
Is there anyone who really likes rats?
Just when Alice thought the dust had settled and there would be no more twists and turns in this battle, Shemy suddenly shouted anxiously, "They're trying to escape!"

"what?"

Alice turned her attention back to the battlefield and found that it was just as she said. Although the pathogenic rats that had rushed into the garden with great momentum were already dead spirits, they still retained their foresight of danger. Therefore, after realizing that the enemy in front of them was too powerful and they could not defeat it, they wisely chose to retreat and were squeaking towards the crack they had created when they came, trying to escape from the garden.

Although the combined stone spirit warriors are extremely powerful, they are too slow. It is not difficult to guard the garden, but it is impossible to prevent them from escaping.

"We can't let them escape!" Shemi gritted his teeth. "If the night watchmen find out where the garden is, the inn will be ruined!"

In order to protect the inn for herself and her loved ones, the fairy maid who was not good at fighting didn't care about anything else. She took a step forward and passed Alice. The two pairs of translucent butterfly wings behind her spread out like wings woven from light, fanning a gentle breeze, and brilliant spots of light floated around, golden, silver, pink, sky blue... Those were particles of magic, but the fairies prefer to call them: elements of nature.

"Fairy magic—"

Xie Mi's clear and childish voice echoed in the wind she brought: "Follow your heart, strange changes!"

call!
The wind picked up speed, raising the dust on the ground into the air, passing through the sides of the huge but clumsy stone giants and sweeping towards the plague rats that were fleeing in a panic. Finally, under Shemi's nervous gaze, it swept across their bodies, blowing their hard black hair, which also stood up like barbs.

Then, incredible changes took place.

The plague rats swept by the fairy wind paused for a moment, and then... they ran faster.

It was as if his feet were greased and he ran at the speed of the wind. In a blink of an eye he reached the edge of the garden. As long as he passed through the crack, he could return to the sewer and escape.

Miss Shemi, who accidentally buffed the enemy, was dumbfounded. She held her head in despair and cried miserably, "How, how could this happen? Why did it go wrong at the critical moment? It's over! Everyone is going to be killed by me! I hate you the most, fairy magic!"

She looked like she was about to cry, and she felt deep despair about her own racial talents.

"Ugh."

Someone sighed nearby: "There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Leave it to me next."

Then came the clicking sound of the cartridge being inserted into the game console, and the cold, mechanical narration of the girl:
