Chapter 25: Silent Night

Yao Yao and Iron Fist naturally didn't stay to pat themselves, and they left after watching the performance, although they were really shocked in their hearts.

On the way, Iron Fist rarely spoke: "Have you found your people?"

Yao Yao said: "If you look for it, you just look for it, but you don't see that there are no competent personnel in it." ”

"Well, okay, I'll see you tomorrow!" Iron Fist said and walked away.

"Hey, hey......" Yao Yao originally wanted to discuss with him how to deal with Benlei Rabbit, but he didn't think that the stuffy gourd head would leave without looking back.

Yao Yao stomped her feet, really feeling helpless.

To be honest, she was very uneasy about leading a team to do a mission for the first time, although on the surface it was nothing, in fact, the nervousness was no less than the first time she participated in the mission.

This mood directly affected her appetite for dinner, and she had no memory of what she ate.

After dinner, she was arranged to stay in a small wooden house near the tree hole, and there was a girl named Pingping who looked like a little girl who had just entered college.

After a brief chat, Pingping said that this was her first time crossing, but she had been here for two days, and she had been scolded a lot because she was timid and crying.

She can't do anything, so she helps the chef Lao Huang do some dispensable work, every time Lao Yuan scores, she basically fails, I heard that the boss has spoken, and has applied to the system to dismiss her.

When Yao Yao heard this, she was surprised: "Repatriation? What do you mean, is it to send you back?"

Pingping nodded, a little happy and a little hesitant, and said, "It's so scary here, I really want to go back, anyway, they all say I'm useless." But Lao Yuan said that this is a big opportunity, Xiao Yao, do you think I should fight for it?"

Yao Yao doesn't know how the mysterious system works, anyway, this system is a bit strange, but looking at Pingping's character, it is obviously not suitable for adventures in the other world, and it may be harmful to her to reluctantly stay.

He persuaded: "Since we can return safely, this is a good thing." Not everyone likes excitement and adventure, and a more bland and comfortable life is actually quite good. ”

Having said that, Yao Yao knew that she couldn't go back to the life of the past, especially after experiencing the attraction of that kind of extraordinary power, it was difficult for her to accept it if she became ordinary again.

In fact, who would want to settle for mediocrity if it were possible.

After chatting with Pingping for a while, and feeling that there was no common language, Yao Yao said to go out for a walk, and then walked out of the wooden house.

A red and a blue otherworldly moon hangs high in the sky, probably about to be a full moon, and the two round moons shed a lot of light for the night.

There were several bonfires burning in the camp, and in this area of the edge of the forest, the animals in general were still afraid of flames, so this was also a means of defense.

Scar and two men are on patrol at night, and a watchtower is built in the far trench, which together form the base's defenses.

It's not strict, of course, but it's pretty good under the current conditions.

Yao Yao walked around, and ran into the night watchman, Scar snorted, but still reminded: "It's dangerous at night, don't go out of the cordon." ”

Yao Yao nodded, and Scar and the others staggered by, she kept walking west, until she was about to walk out of the cordon, and there was a dark and secluded forest not far in front of her.

Outside the cordon was a trench, not too deep, but it did effectively deter some peeps in the dark.

She stood at the cordon and considered whether to go out and scare Scar, but immediately dismissed the childish idea.

Life is your own, who knows if there is a beast in this black forest waiting for him to deliver to his door.

"Are you thinking about throwing your life in a trench, or jumping over and giving it to the beast?"

A man's voice rang out.

Yao Yao turned around, and as expected, it was that guy again.

In fact, she was a little happy to see him, but she was still used to bickering: "It's you again! I suspect you're spying on me." ”

Zhang Wen said indifferently: "The other world at night is more dangerous than during the day, and one of my duties is to protect my team members from threats after darkness falls. Everyone is obedient, except for you. ”

"Isn't it just a night watch, so nicely said. I don't think you're very responsible, and Scar patrols everywhere with a lot more effort than you. ”

Zhang Wen ignored her and quietly looked at the forest in the dark.

Yao Yao became nervous instead, and asked in a low voice, "Yes...... Isn't it weird? I won't really attract any monsters......

"Look!" Zhang Wen suddenly pointed to the edge of the woods.

Yao Yao was startled and hurriedly jumped to his side before daring to look back.

I saw a few small lantern-like fluorescent lights slowly emerging from the forest, and after a while, these fluorescents came out of the forest, rolling on the ground non-stop, and from time to time made some "chirping" sounds.

Hearing these lovely voices, the fear in Yao Yao's heart disappeared slightly, and she felt that it would definitely not be a fierce monster that could make such a sound.

"They...... What is it?" asked Yao Yao.

"Some elves. ”

Zhang Wen said, opened his mouth and whistled a slender whistle, and the few fluorescents suddenly rolled towards this side like soldiers who had been ordered.

When they came to the edge of the trench, the knick-knacks cleverly stopped, and then jumped on the spot, higher and higher, like elastic balls, bounced to a certain extent, and when they landed, they jumped again, and suddenly jumped over the trench and jumped over.

Zhang Wen reached out and grabbed one, about the size of an apple, and the others were bouncing around his feet, making a "chirping" sound.

"Here you go!" Zhang Wen handed over the apple.

Yao Yao took it carefully, and looked carefully, this creature was the size of an apple, and it looked like an apple, bright red all over, almost transparent in its body, and under the irradiation of fluorescence, there was a kind of gelatin flowing inside.

It has no hands or feet, no head, or a body, and two small black eyes, but they grow in the body, and with the flow of gum, the eyes can move to any part of the body.

"How cute, what are they called?" Yao Yao let out a joyful exclamation, and the nature of a woman defeated her.

Zhang Wendao: "We call it the Apple Monster, a small beast that does not pose much threat, and its body is mainly composed of a semi-liquid viscous substance similar to resin, which can fluoresce and is slightly corrosive. When the Apple Monster dies, it turns into a puddle of slimy semi-fluid. ”

"Are they going to die? Yao Yao sighed.

Zhang Wen paused and said, "Who can not die? ”

Yao Yao asked, "Then do you have any regrets? What do you want to achieve the most?"

Zhang Wen stopped talking, and just stood silently.

So Yao Yao stopped talking.

In the quiet of the night, they stood quietly until late in the night.
