Chapter 39 Traction in the Void
It is said that after Li Xiao cleared all the monsters in the nearby area, when he returned to the temporary camp, he saw from a distance that the two girls had prepared a quite exquisite fruit dinner, which seemed to be quite ritualistic.
The carpet was laid out and a fruit plate and fruit wine were placed.
There is indeed an indescribable warm feeling in this scene. There is really no resistance to this feeling. I even feel like giving up the persistence of becoming stronger and joining the long-term team with these two girls, hanging out in various novice areas.
Just spend the rest of your life swiping mobs...
"No, no, if this is also a special test, the consequences will be disastrous." He quickly shook his head and got rid of the rather tempting plan.
"Captain, come and have a meal. We have prepared fruit salad for you." Seeing Li Xiao returning from a distance, Yaman immediately waved his hand to greet him.
"Yes, here we come." He responded and quickened his pace, returning to the temporary camp after a while.
"I prepared this, and this one was prepared by Mina. Let's try it, captain." For the two large bowls of fruit salad, Mina's one was obviously much more delicate, while Yaman's one was very simple, just cut a lot of them.
The fruits are piled together, but the quantity is sufficient.
Li Xiao didn't even think about it, he just took a large plate of fruit made by Yaman and started eating it happily. However, out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally noticed Mina, who seemed to be about to cry. Maybe she didn't want to eat her food.
The fruit salad made her feel ashamed.
So I also took the plate of exquisite fruit salad she made, ate it happily, and even praised it a few times.
Seeing that Li Xiao finally ate the fruit plate she made, Mina finally felt relieved and happily sat down next to Li Xiao. Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was unnecessary.
"I'm full, you eat slowly while I go walk around." Yaman found a reason to leave.
"Don't go too far. After night falls, the monsters in the dark forest may leave the dark forest." Li Xiao also deliberately warned, and after Yaman responded, he quickly disappeared from sight.
Li Xiao and Mina were left staring at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. In the end, Mina was the first to break the silence and pour a glass of fruit wine for Li Xiao.
"Don't drink wine, it will cause trouble... But what happened yesterday was indeed my fault." As he said this, he took out a piece of adamantine stone and mithril ore and put it into Mina's hand.
"Is this compensation due to an unintentional hug?"
"……yes."
"Are you stupid? It was just a small accident. You didn't mean it, so why do you need compensation... Even if you did it on purpose, you don't need to compensate me. I haven't lost anything." He said and wanted to return the things to Li.
Xiao.
"Let me reiterate, I really didn't mean it."
"I know, so there is no need to compensate."
"Well...otherwise, you'd better accept it, so that I can feel more at ease."
"It's really unnecessary. I'm not the legendary goddess. How can I be so valuable?"
"If it were my hometown, a girl like you would definitely be a goddess, the kind of goddess who would turn heads 100% when walking on the street."
"real?"
"Absolutely true."
"Then I only want the adamantine stone, but not the raw mithril stone, okay?"
"Why?"
"Just say whether you agree or not."
"Okay, just say it!"
"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much." After saying that, he put away the adamantium stone and returned the mithril ore to Li Xiao.
"It's me who should thank you. It's been embarrassing these past two days."
Seeing that Mina had collected the adamantine stone, Li Xiao finally relaxed completely.
Now that Mina has accepted the apology and compensation, there is no need to have trouble sleeping and eating as if she always feels that she owes her a huge debt.
"...Actually, it feels good to be held by the captain. I feel a sense of security that I have never felt before." As he said this, he took the initiative to lean into Li Xiao's arms.
This behavior immediately made Li Xiao, who had just regained his composure, become agitated again and fell into a tangle. Just now he had sworn in his heart that he must focus on the pursuit of power and never be tempted by beauty.
However, when Mina really took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, the oath instantly fell apart, and she couldn't bear to push the person away, and even almost forgot who she was...
Fortunately, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the distance, but it was Yaman who was wandering around. He was attacked by a tree demon coming out of the dark forest and was running away from here.
Li Xiao also quickly let go and stood up. The thunder staff appeared in his hand for the first time, and threw out an ice sealing technique, accurately hitting the tree demon more than 200 meters away, and greatly reducing the tree demon.
speed.
Yaman finally succeeded in getting rid of the pursuit, and then the tree demon was attacked wildly by two longbows and a repeating crossbow. It was controlled by spells from time to time, but its health was wiped out in a moment.
——
Late at night, Li Xiao was still slowly patrolling around the camp, cleaning up monsters that occasionally appeared, but Mina and Yaman had already fallen asleep.
Although these two people also want to help, they really have no fighting ability after late at night. They are sleepy and make frequent mistakes. When encountering powerful monsters, they will become more and more helpful.
After making several mistakes, the two of them, who still had some self-awareness, could only choose to go back to the tent to sleep. They had a good rest and recharged their spirits, so as not to cause more trouble to the captain when they passed through the dark forest tomorrow.
Without the help of the two rookies, it was just a piece of cake for Li Xiao to clean up the nearby monsters. Even because of the team relationship, the monster's explosion rate increased a lot, and he also got a lot of loot, which was not available.
It must be divided between two teammates who are sleeping.
…
I was in a pretty good mood at first, but in the early hours of the morning when I was practicing the breathing guidance technique to recover my mana, I suddenly felt a mysterious pulling force coming from the void after entering a high degree of tranquility.
I actually felt a little uneasy, and I don’t know if it was an illusion or if there really was that mysterious energy. If I really felt that some mysterious force was pulling me, then the problem would be quite serious.
Already.
We cannot rule out the possibility of being pulled away by mysterious power for no apparent reason. Once pulled away by that mysterious energy, no one knows what will happen to us.
I really don't know how to deal with that kind of mysterious pulling energy. I can only silently pray that it is just an illusion, and pray that I will stay in this game-like world forever.
…
However, that feeling went away just as quickly as it came. When Tianmengmengliang exercised the breathing pulling technique again to recover his mana, the mysterious pulling power disappeared again.
I don’t know if the prayer had an effect, or if it was just an illusion, or if the mysterious pulling power only appeared in the early morning...
I returned to the temporary camp with a lot of doubts, but I saw Mina and Yaman who had gotten up early from a distance, stretching their muscles on the grass. Their elegant postures made me a little distracted...
"Can you be successful?" He knocked on his head and cursed secretly. He got rid of all the random thoughts in his head and walked quickly towards the camp. When Li Xiao came back, Meina came to greet him as soon as possible.
"...Why did you stay vigil alone last night?" she asked with a hint of reproach. Perhaps subconsciously, she still regarded Li Xiao as her boyfriend or something like that, so the title of captain was omitted.
"The monsters near the dark forest are very fierce after nightfall. It is really not safe for you to keep watch."
"Can't you have some basic trust in me and Yaman?"
"This is not a question of trust or distrust. It's better not to argue about this. You guys pack your things quickly and we'll set off immediately."
"You haven't slept for two days, so you'd better rest for a few hours to regain your energy before setting off."
"The dark forest is 150 kilometers wide. We must pass through the dark forest before dark. Time is very tight." After saying this, he quickly went around to collect the warning array devices.
Although Mina wanted to persuade her again, Yaman quickly packed up the tent.
"Yaman, why don't you think about the captain? He is also a human being."
