Two more days have passed since I met Wu Shuang that day. The news that a new group of beasts has appeared in the southwest of the village is likely to pose a great threat to the village.

Some people say that those fierce beasts are not actually fierce beasts, but magical beasts with intelligence.

Some people say that those monsters that are like light blue bubbles, pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and are lustful by nature.

Others say that in a few days, they will continue to grow and encroach on their own and others' territory.

These news originated from the accounts of Wu Shuang, who escaped by luck, and bystanders, but they became more and more outrageous and sensational as they spread.

It is said that on the same day, Wu Shuang, who went to crusade against monsters, arrived at his destination and found that, unlike what the intelligence said, the fierce beasts that originally thought they lived alone were actually a group. Although the intensity varies, it seems that the weakness of the individual is no longer so important due to its large numerical base.

Under the attack of those monsters one after another, not afraid of life and death, in the end, she was the only one in Wu Shuang's four-person team that escaped. The other three were overwhelmed by the surging monster tide.

When the unclothed Wu Shuang fled back to the village, looking at her embarrassed figure, the village fell into a sensation.

In this village, where gathering and hunting are mainly used in exchange for the necessities of life, the profession of adventurer occupies a very large proportion. And among these adventurers, the Wu Shuang team, which is composed of three strong and one fierce bottom, can be regarded as an upper-middle level existence.

And now her team is almost completely wiped out, and her own strength has fallen to a strong level because of this battle.

All this made them ask themselves. What if you see that task with a high bounty? Even if you don't have the strength to take it, what if you encounter those fierce beasts in the wild?

As a result, public opinion in the village boiled, and as members of the adventurers, they began to spare no effort to spread the terrible news.

I have to say that I am worried about my own safety, and people with mediocre strength still account for the majority. Soon, the news became a topic of conversation after dinner.

Zheng Ming, who returned to the room at this time, lay on the bed and thought about the topic that was just discussed at the dinner table, touching his chin and pondering.

Most of the residents are just talking about it now, but there will definitely be those who have the strength to step up and solve the problem. When it is rumored that a foreign race is a threat to the original race, it will inevitably lead to a major war in the near future.

"Looks like we're going to find a way to reclaim the clones nearby."

In fact, when Zheng Ming decided to live here temporarily, keeping these clones nearby that were originally distributed as a search for Lucy became dispensable.

Instead of absorbing them, it chose to keep them, only to let them devour and store some more energy for later absorption.

But now that things have come to this point, it's not very wise to let those clones go out again.

"Alas~ It's a pity. Only men. ”

"What's only a man?"

Just as Zheng Ming was talking to himself, a gentle voice sounded, and Yun Shao, who was shrouded in a bathrobe, pushed the door and walked in while wiping his long wet hair.

"Nothing. Aunt Yun, can you knock on the door before coming in, and pay a little attention to your own image. Anyway, I'm a normal man. ”

Seeing Zheng Ming, whose face was full of helplessness, kept glancing at his chest, Yun Shao's amused flower branches trembled. The snow white in the half-open bathrobe also moved.

After laughing for a while, Yun Shao looked at Zheng Ming, who was sitting on his lap and looked down, and laughed.

"Oops~ Our little Ming'er has grown up. It was Aunt Yun who was negligent and forgot that Ming'er was also a man. ”

Hearing Yun Shao's tone as if coaxing a child, Zheng Ming seemed to have received 10,000 critical hits. It looked at its little arms and legs without tears, and gritted its teeth with hatred.

"Oh my God. What iniquity have I done! You're going to punish me like that. ”

Just when Zheng Ming roared wildly in his heart, and was about to look up to the sky and sigh, Yun Shao walked to Zheng Ming and sat down.

After touching Zheng Ming's little head, she put away her joking expression and said seriously, "Didn't you ask me yesterday when I would be able to leave for Starland City?" ”

"Aunt Yun, is there any news?"

"Well, when you guys went to play today, I went and asked. The caravan that had departed earlier has returned. ”

"And when am I going to ...... Did your question go well? ”

"It went well. I happened to know the guy in charge of the caravan's security there, and I mentioned it to him. He said yes very happily. Just stay with him. I asked, your job is to protect the rest of the caravan in case of accidents, and you are usually free. ”

"Then I...... When can it pass? Speaking of this, Yun Shao suddenly raised his fingers and shuttered lightly.

Seeing Yun Shao who was listening, Zheng Ming, who was emotional, also calmed down and began to pay attention to his surroundings.

"Come in. What are you doing sneaky? ”

Time passed silently.

Seeing that Yun Shao had not moved since he spoke, Zheng Ming also said helplessly: "Sister Su'er, aren't you tired of standing outside the door?" It's not hide-and-seek. ”

"Ahahahaha."

With a burst of embarrassed laughter, the wooden door was opened through a crack, and a pair of fluffy rabbit ears and half a small brain melon reached in.

"You always meet late at night, I thought you had something to hide from me."

"Dead girl, how do you speak? If you want to listen, come in and listen. ”

After Bai Su got permission, he walked into the room with a smile, didn't care about Yun Yao's laughter and scolding, jumped on the bed and hugged Yun Shao's waist, rubbing his head against the other party.

"I'm not afraid that I will be snubbed after my brother appears. Mom, don't be angry. ”

"You, you. I can't help it. But it doesn't hurt to tell you, there isn't much time left anyway. It's better to tell you earlier so that you can be a little prepared. ”

Yun Shao tapped Bai Su's head and looked at Zheng Ming.

"Continuing with the previous topic. He said that the caravan had just returned not long and needed some time to rest. And I also think that there will be a group of fierce beasts that have been in a uproar recently. It is estimated that after he solves the crisis, he will be able to leave in two days. When the time comes, I'll take you to ask him in person. Let him take care of you more. ”

Hearing Yun Yao's words, Zheng Ming's eyes froze, and he quickly lowered his head and thanked him, hiding the expression on his face.

"Thank you. Aunt Yun, I don't even know how to thank you. ”

"Don't be polite with me. Helping each other is the cornerstone of our survival. This is true among strangers, let alone family. ”

Yun Yao's words did move Zheng Ming, but the information that Yun Yao had inadvertently revealed before made it feel unpleasant.

It hesitated for a moment, carefully considered its words, and then asked cautiously, "Aunt Yun, just now you said that you were going to deal with the group of fierce beasts?" I've heard that those beasts are very powerful~. ”

Yun Shao chuckled when he saw Zheng Ming's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Don't worry, he is one of the best human powerhouses in our place, and his combat power was already in the middle of the old mad level a long time ago, and now it is estimated that he is about to break through to the mad level."

"Mom, are you talking about Uncle Allen?"

Bai Su's exclamation came, and Yun shook her head and continued, "Yes. It's your Uncle Pilsen. ”

"You don't have to worry about his safety. Even if he can't beat him, with his strength, it is estimated that there will be no problem in escaping. I reckon they'll be on their way again in four or five days. You should also take this time to say goodbye to your friends. ”

Speaking of which, the atmosphere became calm. Even the originally noisy white dodder was rarely quiet. She just quietly rested on Yun Shao's legs, silently looking at the two sides.

"Mom. Can I ....... ”

The silence was finally broken by Bai Su, but Yun Shao decisively interrupted her next words.

"No, you can't.

"Alright. There are still many days. It's better than being sad to have very little time left. I won't bother you. ”

After speaking, Yun Shao gently lifted Bai Su's head and got up to leave. Only the two people who looked at each other were left in the room.

"Do you have to go?"

Bai Su's slightly lost voice came, and the topic that had been constantly brought up for several days came out of her mouth again.

After all this time together, it would be a lie to say that there is no emotion. Although leaving was its decision and goal from the beginning, Zheng Ming was still a little reluctant. However, it still passed on the clear answer to Bai Su as calmly as possible.

"Hmm. This was decided from the very beginning. My original purpose. ”

"Huh. I envy you. Isn't there a few days left? You don't have to make it look like you are parting with life and death. You don't have to have any psychological burden. Rest well today and don't work for the next few days. I'll have a good time with you for a few days. ”

Bai Su chuckled and stood up, turning away unusually freely. However, there was a flash of light that Zheng Ming couldn't say specific in his gaze.

Zheng Ming was stunned for a moment when he looked at the door that had been closed for a while, and gradually withdrew his scattered thoughts. It sighed softly and suppressed the emotions that were surging in its heart, and thought about what was next.

"Hmm. It seems that preparations are being made for the departure. The top priority is to let the clones gathered nearby merge with each other, and then quickly change places to hide. I'll find another time to absorb it. ”

Thinking of this, it got up and stood by the window, looking far southwest. There were its slime clones, and they were rumored to be an unknown group of fierce beasts, and after receiving Zheng Ming's inner order, they began to merge with each other.
