After conveniently collecting the Blossom of Revelation and receiving 13 Adventurer's Experience books, Alex looked at Clorinde: "You're amazing, Clorinde! Fighting these level 47-48 enemies is absolutely no pressure for you!"
"How many more do we have to fight? Take me to all of them!" Clorinde, who had just started to warm up, found that the monsters weren't respawning. Still not having had her fill of fighting, Clorinde actually volunteered to be a 'tool person'.
"Alright! Then there's a lot!" Alex summoned Baron Bunny again, mounted it, and gestured to Clorinde with his eyes.
Clorinde nodded. The next instant, he leaped high in front of Alex, and then with a "thump~" Baron Bunny gave a slight jolt as Clorinde sat steadily behind Alex, straddling the seat with both legs.
"Let's go!" Clorinde actually wrapped his right arm around Alex's waist, while his left hand twirled his gun playfully, familiarly urging the driver to start the car.
Good heavens, Alex exclaimed inwardly. This was only the second time he had ridden, and he was already so accustomed to it.
As expected of a cool ride, it really could attract girls to ride!
"Vroom vroom~" The motorcycle roared as it started.
"Pioneer!" The next moment, Alex carried Clorinde, speeding across the lands of Fontaine.
Before, it was almost always extreme straight-line sprints. But today, with a rare opportunity, Alex wanted to try practicing left and right drifts.
It wasn't that he wanted to experience Clorinde's presence more; it was just that the terrain in the Beryl Region was a bit tricky. Yes, the terrain was tricky!
The tricky terrain made it so Alex's speed couldn't even exceed 300.
A wonderful period of drifting. Two large Hydro Slimes behind Alex, on top of Baron Bunny, constantly swayed slightly left and right.
Drifting was indeed difficult to control, and indeed very unstable. He still needed to practice more under Clorinde's guidance!
Until they reached the next blue Ley Line Outcrops.
After dismounting, Clorinde silently stared at Alex: "Stare~~~"
He didn't know if he was doing it on purpose or not, but this time the ride made him sway left and right.
"Oh, please bear with me. I've only had this ride for a few days, and with this complex terrain, I'm not skilled enough to drive too fast." Alex awkwardly brushed his bangs, feeling a bit embarrassed.
After speaking, Alex quickly took out his phone to have the Anemo Slime start the fight, so Clorinde wouldn't have time to dwell on the matter.
"Clang~" "Clang~" Four Ruin Machines began to move and attacked Alex and Clorinde.
During this battle, lines of dialogue constantly echoed through the field, which was better than the previous quick fights where nothing was said.
"Swift shadow like a sword~"
"Nightfall's illusion!"
"Thousands of lightning bolts!"
"Thunderous tranquility!"
"Sword light is me! Cut down all impurities!"
"Now! The time of annihilation!"
"Stare~" Clorinde turned his head. If he weren't fighting monsters, he would really want to punch Alex in the head. Stop reciting, Master, stop reciting!
After the battle, Clorinde still approached Alex, crossing his arms, his collar's two buttons seemingly about to pop off: "Your lines are good, but next time, you're not allowed to recite them! It affects my fighting..."
"Alright!" Alex nodded. To be honest, while constantly reciting lines in reality felt silly and wasn't good.
However, Alex still liked the feeling of game characters constantly chattering. Otherwise, every battle with only skill sound effects would be too boring.
Next, Alex took Clorinde on a drive around the entire Beryl Region.
During this time, they fought the Blossom of Revelation four more times, making a total of six times including the previous two.
As for the Ley Line Outcrops, he only casually cleared them twice. After all, clearing the Mora flowers twice was enough; what was most lacking now was experience.
"Clorinde, where is that Hydro Tulpa boss you mentioned? Let's go now." Alex, finally satisfied with the farming, asked Clorinde, who was sitting behind him on Baron Bunny, holding onto him.
"Let me check." Clorinde scanned his surroundings and quickly figured out where they were: "We just need to keep driving straight ahead, and when we reach the sea of Fontaine, we'll be pretty close."
"Vroom~" Alex started Baron Bunny and controlled it to move forward as Clorinde spoke.
Along the way, Clorinde continued: "Then we'll need to go underwater and swim for a while to reach the Hydro Tulpa's location. There's a huge, empty space there."
Seeing the sea surface just ahead, Alex slammed on the brakes.
The two large Hydro Slimes behind him were squeezed into half their shape, becoming oval depressions.
"Thump!" The next moment, Alex's head was punched, a crisp sound echoing.
"No... We're going to fight a boss, and I'm a Summoner! I can catch many companions to help." Alex explained, covering his head.
Good heavens, Clorinde then rolled his eyes slightly, complaining: "Then why didn't you think of yourself as a Summoner before?"
"Hehe~" Alex closed one eye and looked back at Clorinde, sticking out a bit of his red tongue.
"I forgot again! It's mainly because Clorinde is too strong; I didn't even have to make a move, and you solved it!"
Clorinde was speechless, then urged: "Uh... Then aren't you going quickly?"
"Alright! I'll go check now and catch some useful 'tool people'." Alex said.
So, because they had to fight a boss, Alex took Clorinde on another tour around the edge of the Beryl Region.
Clorinde didn't say anything more, just treating it as Alex taking him on a holiday drive, and also using this time to recover the stamina he had consumed from the continuous battles.
Alex was not at a loss; it was good that he 'forgot'! He had another valid reason to take Clorinde for a ride.
During this time, Alex encountered another large Hydro Slime. Without thinking, he immediately captured it. Later, after taking it for a distance, Alex tearfully released it.
Large Hydro Slime had big question marks appearing above its head. Wasn't it by the water just now? How did it suddenly appear in the middle of the land after a flash of consciousness?
The next moment, the large Hydro Slime, following the scent of the sea, hopped and bounced back towards the shore.
Alex cried, what a good large Hydro Slime it was! What a pity that they were going to fight the Hydro Tulpa next, and a Hydro Slime would be completely useless.
It's worth mentioning that Alex had already toured the entire Beryl Region, and he hadn't encountered a single Pyro Slime again; all the Slimes that appeared were Hydro.
Perhaps in Fontaine, other elemental Slimes don't particularly like Fontaine's humidity?
It felt like out of a hundred Hydro Slimes, it would be good to find even one of another element, just like gacha pulls.
Before, he only encountered those two Pyro Slimes in Hilichurl camps, rescued from wooden barrels where Hilichurls had put them.
