Chapter 534: Children? Elves?

"Then... should we let Liuying and Clara get off the train?" Lin Yu asked, "After all, the train has no power, and the defense system is useless, right?"

Ji Zi hesitated for a moment, folded her hands in front of her chest and thought for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a question that needs to be carefully considered. Although Liuying and Clara are temporarily protected by the train's hull, if they encounter a powerful attack, the train without power and defense systems will not be able to provide real protection."

"But if we let them get off the bus, the environment outside and around them is still unknown, and we cannot guarantee that they will be protected at all times."

Xue Yi shook her head gently. "Don't make a decision in a hurry. We don't know what kind of dangers are lurking around here. Maybe Liuying can use her ability to protect herself on the train, and Clara... her mechanical arm can also protect herself..."

"It's not that I'm heartless, but in this situation, we must leave someone behind to protect the train, right? Otherwise, what will happen to Pam?" Xue Yi looked at everyone and explained patiently.

She knew very well the importance of the Star Train to Pam. This small mascot-like existence played an indispensable role in the operation and maintenance of the train. If Pam lost the protection of the train, she would be directly exposed to danger.

Lin Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging Xue Yi's concerns, "You make sense. Pam does need someone to protect her, but I'm still a little worried about leaving Liuying and Clara alone on the train."

"Master, why don't we stay and set up a camp around the train to protect it." Constance spoke first, her eyes firm and sincere, and she raised her head slightly and looked directly into Lin Yu's eyes.

"And, according to what I just discovered, there is a signal here, but we can't send information to the outside. That is to say, we can contact each other. If there is any danger, the three of us will ask for support." Katrina added immediately. As she spoke, she gently shook the communication device in her hand and grinned to prove that what she said was true. Dubra nodded silently on the side, very well-behaved, and did not say a word.

Ji Zi gave Lin Yu a look and said, "This may be a good idea. The three of them have considerable strength and adaptability. If they stay to protect the train, we can feel more at ease when exploring outside."

San Yue Qi also nodded, "Yes, and with a signal connection, we don't have to worry about unexpected situations that we won't be able to know about in time."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said slowly, "I am very grateful that you are willing to come forward, but you must be very careful. Once you encounter danger, don't be stubborn and notify us to come back for support as soon as possible."

Constance smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Please rest assured, we will do our best to protect the train."

So, the three of them stayed, while Lin Yu and his group began to explore forward.

...

"Look, Tibao! It's a human being who got off the flying iron train!" one of the Tibao shouted excitedly.

"Where, where? Tibao, don't push me..." The other Tibao grumbled dissatisfiedly. The two of them pushed and shoved each other in the grass. Their small bodies swayed back and forth in the dense grass, causing the surrounding grass leaves to rustle.

The two little ones were squeezing together in the grass, sticking their heads out to look at Lin Yu and the others in the distance. There was a gleam of curiosity in their innocent eyes, as if these strange visitors in front of them were wonderful creatures from another world.

Both of these little ones are called Tibao. Together with the Tibao next to Aglaya, there are three Tibao in total. They are called the messengers of the three phases.

Although it looks like an innocent child, it carries extraordinary significance.

However, one of them did not stand firmly, and was pushed by her companions. She stumbled and fell out of the bushes, directly exposed to the sight of Lin Yu and others.

"Who is it?" Lin Yu became alert instantly and summoned his weapon.

Ji Zi, San Yueqi and others also reacted quickly, taking defensive postures and staring intently at the little guy who was slowly standing up after falling down.

"Hey... Tibao, why did you push me..." Tibao, who had fallen down, complained, and while standing up, he patted his hands that were covered with grass debris nonchalantly, and then flew lightly into the air.

Her pair of transparent little wings sparkled with colorful light in the sunlight, flapping quickly, allowing her body to hover steadily in the air.

"Children? No... are they elves?" Lin Yu looked at the two people who looked like children, but both of them had a pair of small wings behind them, and his heart was full of doubts.

Although he had heard a lot about elves in his past experiences, this was the first time he had encountered one at such a close distance and so suddenly.

He didn't know whether the appearance of these seemingly innocent little guys here was accidental or had some other meaning. It was even more difficult to judge whether they were enemies or friends, so he didn't dare to let his guard down at all.

Tibao hovered in the air, tilted her head and looked curiously at the people below who were alert, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Who are you who got off that strange iron train?" Her clear eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. Her small body swayed slightly in the air, and the transparent wings behind her flapped quickly to maintain her body balance.

"Why can that iron train fly in the air?" Tibao asked curiously, his eyes constantly looking at the Starry Sky Train parked not far away.

In her opinion, such a huge and flying "iron guy" was truly novel. She really couldn't understand what magical power was supporting it to soar in the sky, and how it could suddenly land here.

"We... are just simply lost. May I ask where is this place?" Lin Yu said as he stepped forward, but at the same time he did not relax his vigilance. He kept his weapon tightly in his hand. As long as the seemingly innocent little guy in front of him made any unusual moves, he would be able to react immediately.

As he spoke, he quietly observed the changes in Tibao's expression, trying to determine what was hidden here from her reaction.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Lin Yu." Lin Yu added, trying to put on a kind smile on his face, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.

"My name is Tibao, her name is also Tibao, and we all call each other Tibao." Tibao in the air answered with a smile, and did not forget to point at the other Tibao who was still sticking his head out of the bushes to watch, "But... lost?" Tibao wondered, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something rapidly in his little head.

In her understanding, although this world is vast, most people who can come to the area near the foot of the Temple Mount have a clear purpose or know the path. It is rare to claim to be lost like this. She is really not sure whether Lin Yu's words are true or not.

Another Tibao flew out from the bushes and whispered in Tibao's ear, "Hey, who cares if they are lost or not? Maybe they are lying. We have to be careful." As she spoke, she also imitated the way of putting her hands on her hips, her eyes darting around among everyone, making the atmosphere become subtle again.

"But... they don't look like bad people. There's no disgusting aura about them." Tibao shook his head.

At this moment, Aglaya hurried over with another Tibao.

She was originally worried about the safety of the little ones, but when she caught a glimpse of Lin Yu and his group and the weapons in his hands, her face instantly turned cold.

In her subconscious cognition, this scene made her think that Lin Yu was trying to harm the little guys, or even to do something evil.

Aglaya said nothing. She waved her slender, white jade hand gently. In an instant, an exquisite long needle emerged from the void. Then, a dazzling golden light flashed, and the long needle instantly grew larger as if it was cast by magic.

It looks like a unique sword, except that the hilt is not of the ordinary style, but a small hollow circle, like a needle made specifically for fabrics that has been magnified countless times, engraved with exquisite patterns, and the meticulous patterns exude a sense of majesty.

Then Aglaya's eyes flashed, and a layer of holy light appeared around her body. She tapped the ground lightly, and at the moment of rushing towards Lin Yu, she gently swung the sword in her hand that was transformed from a long needle, and a dazzling golden light rushed out from the sword like a surging golden torrent.

This golden light was not an ordinary light. It seemed to be substantial, carrying suffocating energy, whistling towards Lin Yu and others.

Wherever the golden light passed, the space seemed to be burned and slightly distorted, making a strange "sizzling" sound. The air was rapidly compressed, forming cyclones visible to the naked eye, which wantonly swept up everything around it.

The sand and stones on the ground were stirred up by the residual power of the golden light, and scattered around like hidden weapons, causing the surrounding grass and leaves to fly.

Lin Yu and the others only felt a dazzling golden color in front of their eyes, and a suffocating sense of oppression came over them. They had no time to think too much, and could only rely on their fighting instincts to quickly adjust their postures, cross the weapons in their hands in front of them, and try to gather all their strength to resist this angry blow that seemed to come from a god.
