Chapter 87.1: Her Highness… Is in Love (1)
It was a little difficult for Edaline to clear the Deep Tundra alone.
Therefore, Rayne intended to pull another big shot into the team.
That was Leta\'s Great Teacher of White Light.
In order to find the Great Teacher, Rayne went to the Blazing Sun Wall.
It was not because Rayne thought that the Great Teacher would be at the Blazing Sun Wall, but because he knew that the elven demigods guarding the Blazing Sun Wall not only had the means to contact the Great Teacher, they were also easy to deceive.
Therefore, what happened next was simple.
Rayne visited the Blazing Sun Wall. After a harmonious and friendly exchange, Rayne gained Elebella\'s trust and helped the latter reconstruct the ancient dragon barrier thereafter, further raising his status in her heart.
With that, Rayne successfully obtained the token bracelet that could lock onto the coordinates of the Great Teacher from Elebella.
However, the plan seemed to have gone too smoothly…
With his vast knowledge, bewitching dragon eyes and pleasant speech, Rayne\'s unique qualities seemed to have made Elebella… fall in love with him at first sight.
That was good as well.
It was not a bad thing.
With an additional card, it would be more convenient for him to remove the curse of Leta in the future.
After returning the bracelet to Elebella, it was time for Rayne to leave the Blazing Sun Wall and head to the Deep Tundra.
However…
Before officially entering the Deep Tundra, Rayne had to make some preparations.
The lair of the Black Catastrophes was not a place that could be reached with ease after knowing the coordinates.
In order to open up a path to the lairs of the Black Catastrophes, Rayne needed another item.
Rayne said, "Speaking of which, Great Teacher and Edaline, you guys must be extremely curious as to how I intend to find the lairs of the Black Catastrophes, right?"
It was only natural for them to be curious.
After all, no one had truly discovered the lairs of the Black Catastrophes in the past thousand years.
The Great Teacher looked at Edaline. "Didn\'t he tell you?"
Edaline shrugged.
Therefore, the Great Teacher looked at Rayne and waited for him to continue.
Because Rayne\'s next move was rather extreme, if he did not explain it beforehand, it might cause the Great Teacher and Edaline to overreact.
Therefore, Rayne decided to explain his first plan to the two demigods first.
Rayne asked, "Great Teacher, have you dissected the Black Catastrophes before?"
The Great Teacher nodded.
Since the Black Catastrophes were Leta\'s greatest worry, the Great Teacher had naturally studied these creatures systematically.
The Great Teacher frowned and said.
"The body structure of those monsters is completely different from the living beings of the mortal world. Their bones are made of some sort of alloy and they have very few organs in their bodies. However, they are extremely efficient. Although they don\'t have any magical organs, they can release fatal molten metal… those monster incarnates are like weapons specially born to kill."
"In a more neutral way, these creatures can be considered as perfect creations of engineering."
Rayne smiled before continuing to explain, "There are indeed lairs for the Black Catastrophes. However, most of the time, their lairs are tightly sealed and cannot be entered or exited. The two of you must want to ask why those lairs that have no exits are able to send Black Catastrophes outside?"
That was the unsolved mystery that had troubled the civilizations of the mortal world for a thousand years.
No one could understand the reproduction method of these strange lifeforms, let alone how they could appear from the barren tundra continuously.
Rayne naturally knew the answer to that question.
He looked at Edaline.
"Little Eda, during your exploration of the Deep Tundra, have you seen a type of black snow?"
Edaline replied, "I have. Black Catastrophes would often gather around the black snow—do you know what that is?"
"Those are the eggs of the Black Catastrophes."
Rayne said, "The Black Catastrophes are transported out of the lairs in the form of extremely thin eggs. Every single particle of the black snow can grow into a Black Catastrophe. When the Black Catastrophe eggs fall to the ground, they will grow rapidly through efficient photosynthesis and the ability to digest inorganic objects. Eventually, they will evolve into mature Black Catastrophes."
"Therefore, the lairs of the Black Catastrophes doesn\'t have to be opened to the outside world normally. All they have to do is leave an extremely small air hole and spread the Black Catastrophe eggs to the outside world. If we forcefully break through the barrier and barge into the lairs, we will trigger the alarm of the lairs and prematurely trigger that… Forget it, that will come later."
Rayne smiled.
"All in all, what I have to do now is to let the Black Catastrophes feel pressure and force the lairs into a state of war. Thereafter, they will open up the barrier and send even higher-leveled Black Catastrophes outside in an attempt to destroy the intruders. At that time, we can infiltrate the Black Catastrophe lairs."
An eager smile appeared on Edaline\'s face.
"After saying so much, you mean that you want me to start a massacre?"
Rayne grinned. "No."
Edaline: "Huh?"
Rayne: "Little Eda, you were running amok killing wildly in the Deep Tundra for a month. Have you seen different types of Black Catastrophes?"
Edaline replied, "No… they\'re all the same."
Rayne: "In that case, it means that the threat level is still low for them."
Edaline: "Tsk…"
Rayne continued, "In any case, although the two of you are top-tier demigods, it\'s still inconvenient for you to fight the Black Catastrophes in the Deep Tundra where magic is thin. Therefore, we need some external help."
The Great Teacher frowned. She could not understand what Rayne was thinking.
"You mean to say that you need to raise the threat level for the Black Catastrophes and force them to open up the barrier of their lairs?"
"That\'s right."
"And this mission is something that even I and Edaline can\'t complete?"
Rayne nodded. "Yes."
That was truly a terrifying statement.
