The enthusiasm of the dragons continued undiminished, and various foods were served one by one, and this time roasted meat wrapped in leaves and pale green sake were prepared. Yan Dacang saw that there was wine and meat, and enthusiastically took the Wu family brothers and them, and also joined the celebratory crowd.

Only the soldiers of the Legion of Victims did not eat and drink indiscriminately, and everyone stood scattered around the West Pole, although there was a smile on their faces, but their eyes were inadvertently monitoring the surrounding environment. It's not that they feel that there is danger here, but they are used to the perennial military career, and they have long developed this habit of being vigilant at all times.

Zhang Xiaohu and Peng Jiadong walked under a huge tree, and Peng Jiadong said with a smile: "Do you want to go up and have a look?" We've been staying here for the past few days. ”

"Oh, you live in a tree, huh? What would it be like to live in a house in a tree? Zhang Xiaohu was a little curious.

"Except for the wind was a bit strong, everything else was the same as on the ground. It's just that when you get up at night, you should pay attention to see if there is anyone below, otherwise the people below will be unlucky! Hahaha! Peng Jiadong couldn't help laughing as he spoke...

Before Zhang Xiaohu could laugh, the cold voice of the West Pole suddenly sounded, "Zhang Xiaohu, how long do you have to delay here?" "Xiji was wearing his own military uniform, followed by Xiji Twilight Snow and Xiji Miaofei, and Xiji Miaofei had a bionic prosthetic arm installed on it, which looked no different from a normal arm. I don't know when this prosthesis was made, the degree of simulation is very high, and if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see the difference. However, under the sun, you can see that the color is slightly different from normal skin, and the prosthesis lacks the luster that the skin should have.

"Commander-in-chief, you misunderstood, I didn't deliberately delay time! Uncle Peng and Mr. Alaibayo were both sent by you, and now that everyone has been received by the dragon people, they should pay off the etiquette before leaving...... Zhang Xiaohu said.

"Plans have changed! We can't afford to delay here too long! You must get out of here and get back to the mines! Xiji suddenly urged: "I said it, I don't have much time, if this mission fails, the consequences of "those two people" ...... Don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

Zhang Xiaohu was just about to explain, but Peng Jiadong faced Xiji and said: "We came here to carry out a mission because you threatened us with the safety of my friends!" For the safety of our friends, we did our best and even sacrificed our lives, and now that we have completed our mission, you should keep your promise and give them back their freedom! ”

"Now that you've done your job, you're free! They are still useful! Xiji snorted coldly.

"Huh!" Peng Jiadong sneered: "As a leader with a head and a face, what do you say you can't do for them?" For example, he is just an ordinary child? Is he important to you? ”

Xiji nodded and replied, "To me, he is more important than any of you!" If you think life here is good, you can choose to stay..... as for him, you must leave with me immediately! ”

"Don't try to rob me of people, I have a task on my body, and I don't have time to talk to you!" After speaking, Xiji turned his head and left.

Peng Jiadong hurriedly said: "No matter what you are doing here, you must have the help of these dragon people!" ”

Xiji turned around curiously and said, "Oh? Keep talking! ”

"They've lived here for a long, long time and know every mine here. As you should have seen just now, they can still keep a good line of sight in the dark, if you can persuade the elders here and hire one or two dragonmen to guide you, you will definitely avoid a lot of trouble in the next action! ”

"Hmmm! You have a point, I'll go find the elders! ”

"You should find my eldest brother first, Alebayo!" Peng Jiadong said: "The elders here trust my eldest brother very much, if my eldest brother is willing to help you, everything will be easy!" ”

"Okay, I'll go find Alebayo!"

"The eldest brother has already believed in the sect of the Dragon Clan, he is not your servant, and he will agree if you don't arrange it! However, if you agree to release Zhang Xiaohu and them, he will be happy to help you! Peng Jiadong said with a smile.

Xiji's face became very bad, she sneered and looked at Peng Jiadong, and said, "Really? ”

"Let these people go, I'll immediately find my eldest brother to intercede! With the help of the dragons, you will be sure to complete the mission without a hitch! These dragonmen who live here are much more useful than we are! Peng Jiadong patiently bargained with Xiji and said.

"Humph! Your eloquence is good! Xiji put away the anger just now and sneered faintly.

After speaking, she gently stroked the thick tree beside her, which was an ancient tree about twenty or thirty meters around. Xiji suddenly raised his eyebrows, a red light flashed on his hand, and the big tree next to him let out a "squeak!" The sound shattered into dozens of sections in an instant, and the exquisite wooden house above collapsed and scattered to the ground, making a huge noise.

The jubilant people in the square were all shocked by the sudden change. Especially those dragons, they didn't know what was going on, it was an ancient tree tens of thousands of years old, it was unusually strong, how could it become like this.

Xiji withdrew his arm and chuckled: "In my eyes, you people are no different from trees, I have to stay with you people because of my sacred mission, you, don't try to challenge my bottom line!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu was on the side and couldn't help but shudder. In previous incidents, Xiji had helped him several times. He still naively thought that he and Xiji and others were equals, comrades-in-arms who fought together, and he also thought that the two sides could really cooperate seamlessly, and there was no barrier! Now the answer is very obvious, it is the same as the previous acquaintance of Y87564-1, it is easy to be moved by their honest eyes and getting along mode, and mistakenly think that it is the sincerity in the human mode of getting along! In fact, for these engineers, they don't bother to hide their emotions, they are always very simple to deal with the relationship of interest.

Xiji found her purpose to help her complete her sacred mission, and to protect his safety is also to avoid mistakes in the mission! Protecting him, and even arranging for Chenyi to accompany her to explain some things to him, just to make himself more willing to carry out the task, does not mean that he regards himself as a partner. Everything is just because they are the key to open the serum bank, and it has more important meaning.

Zhang Xiaohu thought in his heart: When he came to this world, Zhang Xiaohu met many close friends, just like Uncle Yan and King Peter, they also encountered all kinds of sinister people, not ...... They are not human beings, they are too simple, and they always get along with them with kindness, but in the end, it turns out that when getting along with people and doing things, they should have a clear mind, analyze the interests and positions, and only be smarter will be safer!

"I'll give you another half an hour, and we'll go back to the mine and assemble!" Xiji said indifferently, and then took his own people and walked along the stone path to the secret passage.

When Alai Bayo heard the voice, he also ran over, looked at Peng Jiadong with a blank expression, and asked urgently, "Jiadong, what's wrong?" ”

"Big brother, I don't know what's going on, this tree is suddenly like this!" Peng Jiadong pretended not to know and replied in a panic.

"Hmmm! Is it? Alebayo looked at Zhang Xiaohu again.

Zhang Xiaohu saw that not far behind him, Long Ren, Zhao Zixuan and others rushed over here, and hurriedly said: "Really, this matter is quite sudden, we don't know what the situation is!" ”

Alebayo: "Huh! With a sigh, he crouched beside the remains of the big tree and looked closely, but found nothing unusual. He also suspected in his heart that it was the West Pole gang who did it, and the whole tree was blown open by a huge force. He couldn't find the point of force on the outside of the trunk, it didn't look like it had been damaged by a weapon, it looked as if the tree had exploded itself from the inside.

The elder of the dragonman also came over, put his dry hand on the wreckage of half of the tree, closed his eyes and prayed, his face glowing with a sense of holiness that was impossible to look at. After a few minutes, the elder withdrew his arm and explained with a smile, "The call of the dragon, the spirit of life is gone!" Bless everyone! After speaking, the elder glanced at Peng Jiadong and Zhang Xiaohu with brilliant eyes, and the smile on his face became more natural.

The rest of the dragonmen were happily singing and dancing around the remains of the tree.

Zhang Xiaohu secretly glanced at Peng Jiadong, he understood why Peng Jiadong lied just now and refused to tell the truth. For these peace-loving dragons, it is not impossible to treat this matter as a mysterious thing. If you want to tell the truth, there will inevitably be a head-on conflict between the two sides, then these dragon people are likely to be wiped out by the West Pole, which is also what Zhang Xiaohu doesn't want to see, so he can only lie.
