I leisurely shuttled through the sword net of the two of them, while carefully pointing out their mistakes and omissions. From time to time, they flicked their fingers on the spine of their swords, and every contact, without exception, would make their hands holding swords tremble and tingle, and they had to take a few steps back before they could organize an offensive again.

After an hour of fighting, I finally flicked off the long swords of the two at the same time, jumped away from the sword circle with a long smile, and said, "Okay, that's all for today, you all have a good rest!"

The two of them were already very tired, Philia was a little better, and as soon as Alice heard that she could rest, she immediately pounced on me, hung firmly on my body like a koala, and said coquettishly: "I'm so tired, I'm tired, I want my brother to carry me back!"

I smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, and then carried her towards the camp, and said, "Okay, brother, I'll take Alice back, sister, how are you?"

Philia gave me a sweet smile and said, "I'm fine, just take a break! I didn't expect this set of swordsmanship to be so wonderful, I really practiced it for so long before." ”

I smiled and said, "That's because you've never been exposed to such a sword technique, and this set of sword techniques can only really see its power in actual combat." It's not easy for you to be able to practice to this level in just a few months!"

Filia nodded, silently following behind, still thinking about the guidance I had just given.

Back at the camp, Jeans and Melina were already out of the tent. Jean was jumping up to the tree and meditating with her eyes closed, apparently practicing the method I had taught her to swallow the mind, while Melina was laying out a piece of felt on the ground, meditating.

I put Alice down and told her and Philia to meditate and regain their true energy, and then I got busy. No way, meditation is most effective at this time, so I have to take care of the food preparation myself. If you count on Melina, I'm afraid you can only starve, although Qinsi is a little better, it is impossible to make food that satisfies Alice and Xiaoyu. However, it's no wonder that others, who allowed themselves to raise their appetites so badly?

After eating breakfast, Melina still seemed a little unsatisfied, and said: "It tastes really good, it seems that you are not useless, at least, it is still good to be a chef." It made me smile wryly and speechless.

Qin Si covered her mouth and chuckled, "Could it be that in my sister's eyes, Brother Long only has such advantages?

"Uh!" Melina said in a panic, "How could I peek at him?"

Qin Si smiled, looked at Melina's flustered expression, and said, "I didn't say that person was you, I don't know if my sister is called a thief, or if you don't confess?"

Melina was embarrassed and angry, and said angrily: "Okay, you are becoming less and less concerned about me as a mentor!" As she spoke, she quickly rushed forward, obviously trying to catch Qin Si, but not to mention the true qi of Qin Si's cultivation, it was her own elf agility, and it was not caught by Melina, a magician.

Qinsi didn't run away, and said with a smile while dodging: "You didn't say it yourself yesterday, and I won't call you a mentor when I come out, what's the matter, do you have to regret it now?" The two suddenly made a mess.

I secretly exclaimed, I didn't expect that Qinsi, who is usually silent, hit the target as soon as she opened her mouth, leaving Melina speechless. However, thinking of the situation when we first met, Qin Si knocked on the side of me every day, and it is not surprising that she reacts like this now!

Alice glanced at Melina dissatisfied, and muttered, "My brother is full of advantages, not so few!"

Fortunately, Melina didn't listen, otherwise I was afraid that I would be even more depressed, so I secretly snickered: Hmph, my good man doesn't fight with you, but if you pull someone out casually, it's enough for you to eat turtles.

Seeing that they were fighting endlessly, Phiria, who had been smiling and watching, finally spoke, "Okay, don't make trouble, we should also go." ”

The two immediately stopped fighting and worked together to pack up the tent, and I was amazed to watch. When did Philia speak with such power? To say that Qinsi has always been well-behaved, it is not surprising that she will listen to Filia's words, but why is Melina so obedient? I couldn't help but look at Filia in confusion and admiration.

Philia gave me a meaningful smile and raised an eyebrow triumphantly. I shook my head and smiled bitterly, a woman's mind was really difficult to understand, and I gave up thinking about it again.

On the road again, Alice refused to return to the carriage without saying anything, but stuck to my arms as before. While making up stories for Alice, while listening to the laughter and frolic of several women in the carriage, the time of the day was in a daze, and I didn't even know how many miles I walked.

In the evening, as we set up camp, I suddenly noticed that there was a small caravan that had been following us for some time. We walked on the official road, but yesterday afternoon because of a whim, so we went up to the remote hill, and on the official road, there are countless caravans coming and going, and it is normal for someone to go with us. However, the reason why this caravan caught my attention was that they had been with us for too long.

Because we were not in a hurry, our journey was very slow. At this rate, even a caravan on foot should not always be left behind us. But I distinctly remember that while we were resting at noon, the little caravan stopped less than a few miles behind us. And now, when we set up camp at night, they were still miles behind us, and they followed suit. This cannot but arouse my suspicions.

Qin Si was also alert, and said, "Brother Long, the caravan has been following us for a long time, will there be a problem?" Among the girls, although Filia is the oldest, she is simple-minded, and although she has experienced so many hardships, she still has little vigilance. Melina had no experience traveling on the mainland, let alone any vigilance. It was only Qinsi, who had ventured on the mainland many times, that she really understood the importance of mastering her surroundings and was able to spot this suspicious caravan.

I smiled and nodded, and said, "Leave them alone, see that they have been miles away from us all along, and they are obviously waiting for something." I'll check in the evening to see what their purpose is. ”

Generally speaking, there are only three possibilities for a situation like the one that hangs behind us all the time. The first possibility is that because of their own lack of strength, they are not sure to reach their destination smoothly, so they have to follow us closely, and many small caravans will resort to such means if they can't afford to hire mercenary groups for protection. They usually follow closely behind the team they want to rely on from the start, and they will also pay part of the fee to the team they rely on. In a situation like this, the team that relies on it is either protected by a large mercenary group, or it is even a master. However, we are not a large mercenary group, and we have never shown our strength, so naturally this will not be the case.

The second possibility, that is, the target of this caravan is us. Some small bands of thieves, or some mercenary groups, often use this method. They first look at the target in the city, and then they will follow them secretly, pretending to be a chamber of commerce. When they get to a remote place, they will do it. And looking at the Chamber of Commerce behind us, it may be the case.

The third possibility is that they are simply scouts, following behind, just to grasp our whereabouts. In my estimation, that's probably the case for them. However, even scouts can be good and bad. It's not that they mean good to us, it's that they follow us just to know where we are, and they don't intend to deal with us. I wouldn't let such scouts hang, but I didn't intend to kill them all. The bad thing is that they know about our whereabouts and are simply looking for a place to plot against us. If that's the case, then there's nothing to say, it's just killing.

Now, the most important thing for me is to find out which category they belong to, otherwise it will be a problem to be left behind by them all the time.

When Filia and Melina heard that someone was thinking about them, they reacted strongly, but to my surprise, they didn't worry about their situation at all, but they were all gearing up, and they had the meaning of going straight to the door. Alice was even more excited, when she heard that I was going to find out their purpose, she immediately clamored to go too, I thought about it, and felt that there was no problem with her, even if there was really an accident, I could definitely protect her safety, and her true qi mixed with wind elements did greatly improve speed, and it was not so easy to be discovered, so I agreed. After all, there are some things that are not enough just by exercising, and actual combat can better educate her.

After nightfall, I didn't wait long, but I set off with Alice at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. This time is not the best time for night activities, but I really didn't take the twenty or so people in the small caravan seriously, and I didn't want to delay everyone's rest time for them, so I set out so early. However, if you go too late, those people are already resting, and there is nothing to check, do you just go to kill?
