Chapter 58: A Little Joke
"What's that. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ten kilometers away, in the convoy's camp, several mercenaries were resting in the shade of the truck, with dishes and chopsticks after lunch in front of them. Just left the city for half a day, the mercenaries can also enjoy the exquisite food cooked in the city, and after a day or two, there will be no such good treatment, when the time comes, they can only use dry food, salted meat or prey obtained in the wild to simply process and satisfy hunger, so everyone cherishes these daily foods, often a grain of rice is reluctant to let go.
However, at this time, the situation was slightly different, a mercenary inadvertently raised his head in the middle of a small talk, and suddenly froze, not even knowing that the soup bowl in his hand had fallen to the ground, staring blankly into the distance, and shouting in surprise: "Why is there a pillar of fire there?
"Smack", Ah Xi beside him slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily, "You are stupid, looking for a volcano on the grassland, don't make people laugh if you have nothing to do, really, rare and weird, let me see what pillar of fire." Mom, what's that, is a volcano erupting?"
"Idiot Ahi. The beaten young man didn't bother to deal with the stupid leader, and patronized the vision to show the brothers, "See, see, such a high pillar of fire, it's scary." β
The grassland is flat and vast, as far as the eye can see, without any shelter, even if it is separated by a distance of more than ten kilometers, the thirty-meter-high pillar of fire can be seen really. These young mercenaries had just come out to wander for a long time, and they hadn't seen the methods of high-level abilities a few times, and they couldn't sense the energy fluctuations that could erupt from the external source energy at such a distance, so they could only look at the vision in the distance in confusion.
However, the high-level abilities were much calmer, and before they saw the pillar of fire rise, they had already sensed the energy fluctuations coming from afar, and naturally knew what it meant, so they could all calmly appreciate the rise of the pillar of fire.
"Heh, Xiaohuo has gone crazy. A large canvas fluttered on the grass, and several high-ranking mercenaries sat on the ground with Mi Xin, and Rose sat directly across from Mi Xin, but there was a clear difference in the sitting posture of the two ladies with elegant manners.
Rose sits upright, with slender and well-proportioned legs together, leaning on one side of her body, her hands pressed casually on the outside of her knees, and her long skirt is on her legs up to her calves, revealing only her white ankles, which are as clear as jade. This is the standard sitting posture of the nobles of the famous families in the pre-disaster era of the Peach Leaf Continent on casual occasions, when they have to sit on the ground, for those who are not used to it, this posture is very awkward, but it is full of ladylike demeanor.
As for Mi Xin, it is the standard Maple Leaf Continent sitting posture, kneeling on the ground, sitting upright on both feet, her lower limbs completely hidden under her skirt, and her hands folded on her thighs. This is a daily etiquette handed down from ancient times, and in the imperial era, although the tables and chairs of the Peach Leaf and Apricot Leaf Continent have long been introduced to Maple Leaf, many ancient famous families on Maple Leaf still maintain this habit, and it has not changed until the catastrophe.
Of course, the two ladies don't have the idea of comparing each other, it's too naΓ―ve, it's just their subconscious actions according to their daily habits.
"It's ...... "I don't know when, in an informal setting, Mi Xin has already used her sister for Rose and Leopard, and the two of them actually have no objection, so that the crow is extremely jealous, which shows that Boss Mi's affinity is worthy of its reputation.
"Hmm. Rose replied lightly, "It's a lava fire of a small fire." β
"Sister Leopard, is this an enemy?" Mi Xin was just an ordinary person after all, and she had no perception of Yuan Neng, so she could only ask with a blank face, "Such a big movement, it must be a strong enemy." β
"She's just having fun, and she's just getting a little carried away. Rose said calmly, "As for the strong enemy, hehe, it seems that Old Man Lu's guess is correct, and the crow's idea is not wrong, they have already found their target, and they must be testing the depth of the other party now." β
"Is it really okay?" Mi Xin looked at the pillar of fire that rushed to the sky again, and said with some concern, "Do you want to help them?"
"Boss Mi, you don't understand. Although Rose did not object to Mi Xin calling her, she herself still insisted on calling Mi Xin by her original title, "We are comrades-in-arms and companions, but we are not each other's nannies." Since we each have our own jobs, it means that we believe in each other's strength, I believe that the two of them can find a threat from below the ground, and now that they have obviously found it, I also believe that they can handle the current battle, and I don't think they will let me down. β
"Again, they believe that I can lead the team and keep you and your cargo safe, and I've done a good job so far, and I don't want to let them down in the future. β
"For us, it's an insult to help at this time, and it means that I don't trust their abilities. Oh, if it's a very dangerous enemy, forget it, it's just a few alien beast earthworms, and if you go to help, you look down on them too much. β
"So, you see what I mean? I'm sure they're fine, and even if there is, I'm not going to agree to anyone helping because I'm in this place and I'm going to do my job. β
"Uh, sorry. Mi Xin was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "I'm not doubting their strength, I'm just a little worried." β
"Actually, I didn't go to help, and there was another key reason I didn't say. Rose's cold face suddenly thawed, revealing a somewhat mischievous smile, "Because they didn't send me a call for help." β
"Huh?" Mi Xin's apology was held back, and she didn't say a word.
"Each mercenary team has its own contact method, a range of more than ten kilometers, and there is a device on the car to enhance the signal, so it is not a problem to keep the communication open. Rose chuckled and said, "If you run into trouble, Xiaohuo may forget to contact me because of the high fighting spirit, but the crows will definitely call for help as soon as possible, so I am not worried about their safety at all, I am more worried about the safety of those earthworms." β
Mi Xin finally knew that she was being teased, she really didn't expect that Rose, who had a cold face every day, would also play tricks, and now she could only say angrily: "Sister Rose, you are very immoral like this." β
"Hehe, it's just a joke. Rose smiled faintly, the smile was enough to make the flowers fade, "I know that Boss Mi is worried about Xiaohuo and the crow, and I am very grateful in my heart, just to make a little joke to ease your worries." Don't worry, with the crows here, everything won't get out of control, not to mention that Xiaohuo also released lava fire, if she really encounters a strong enemy, she won't use this ability. Well, look, the flame is blooming. β
