Chapter 41: The Last Quiet Before the War
"Bassam is Tifa's teacher, and to me he is half a teacher. He is close friends with Jelly's creator, and he is the same as his father to Jelly. So Basam's order, I can't change it either!" Xiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and gave a vague explanation.
"Isn't the maker of the jelly you?" asked Situ Yelan with some surprise.
"No!" Xiao Ming shook his head.
"I've heard that the users of the optical brain would be very rigid if they weren't the maker. But Jelly looks very spiritual!, it's really strange!" "Situ Yelan doesn't know much about light brains - it is as difficult to find a few light brain experts in the Ancient Domain Star as it is to find a few martial arts experts somewhere else.
So although Situ Yelan was a little puzzled, he didn't suspect anything.
Xiao Qingya heard a lot of things from Xiao Ming's words, but of course she wouldn't expose them, she just hugged Xiao Ming's arm: "No matter, you must give me something." Otherwise, I'll cry!"
Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Qingya helplessly, and then looked at the jelly.
Xiao Qingya put on an expression of crying if she didn't give it to me. And Jelly simply did the same, putting on an expression of "if you want to give her something, I'll cry".
Immediately, Xiao Ming felt that one head and two were big.
His emotional intelligence isn't high, but he's not a complete idiot, and no matter how stupid he is, he can understand it - but he'd rather not understand it.
Situ Yelan looked at Xiao Qingya on the side, then at the jelly, and finally said funny and angry: "Forget it, forget it, I'm afraid of the two of you." I don't want to fight the idea of the red jade ginseng. It was too valuable to buy it. But I said...... As for the two of you, you want to defend this kid like this! I'm really a little jealous! Brother Zongzheng, what do you say?"
How could the smart eldest lady of the Situ family not see that this was Xiao Qingya and Jelly teaming up to dismantle the stage. Don't mention the matter of buying red jade ginseng to Situ Yelan again. And Situ Yelan also reacted, she proposed that it was indeed inappropriate to buy such a valuable thing.
However, she was still a little unconvinced, so she dragged Xiao Zongzheng into the water.
"Xiao Ming is going to really sell it. I'm crying too!" Xiao Zongzheng said with a serious face.
Situ Yelan couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed. Xiao Qingya also laughed. Jelly laughed directly at Xiao Ming's head.
Xiao Ming reacted to what was going on, and sighed again in his heart.
With this little slapstick interlude, the atmosphere in the cave became a little more lively. Xingzheng selected some of the medicinal materials that Xiao Ming took out, these are also the best medicinal materials, but they are not as good as the red jade ginseng, so he was not ordered by Bassam to let the jelly guard. Besides, Jelly is not a dull light brain that doesn't know how to judge the situation, but an intelligent personality light brain with extremely high IQ and EQ, and also has an independent personality.
So without touching the bottom line. Jelly is as generous as Xiao Ming.
Xingzheng selected some medicines from Xiao Ming, plus the ones he chose, and then asked Xiao Ming for some primitive training tools—that is, some flasks and the like. It was completely Ji Qiaoyu who pretended to Xiao Ming regardless of whether it was good or bad, and most of Xiao Ming couldn't name it when he saw it.
"How about it? Can you make an antidote?" asked Tianyu Xingzheng, who was busy.
"Uncle Shi, the medicinal materials given by Xiao Ming are quite high-grade, not only can they replace the medicinal materials I originally wanted to use, but the effect will be even better. Although I don't know how to use these instruments, there should be no problem with the combination of jelly. The rest is time. I'll make two small portions of the antidote out first, if it works. Re-mass production. That's probably about five hours!" Xingzheng replied respectfully.
"It's good to have hope!" Tianyu nodded, and gave Xiao Minghe a big salute: "This time thanks to Xiao Ming, you." The hanging door will remember this kindness of yours!"...
"We're the same!" Several other factions also expressed their attitudes, and even Shi Bao of the Doujiaomen was equally grateful to Dade.
This time everyone understood. If the Xiao family gave up on them at this time, they really had no way to deal with each other. Maybe they can kill a few of them desperately, but the result must be a miserable victory, if the Xiao family is more ruthless and intercepts them directly at the entrance, then none of them want to get out alive.
In the face of this huge loss, although the six major forces will not break their muscles and bones, they will also lose some of their vitality. I'm afraid it won't be able to recover for more than ten years. If the Xiao family took advantage of this opportunity to devour their territory and snobbish, then they would lose a lot.
But the Xiao family is the Xiao family. The reason why they have become a super Chinese family that has been inherited for thousands of years. Moreover, the status of the Ancient Domain Star is so transcendent, and one of them has something to do with their atmosphere. Even if it's the Situ family. Situ Yelan didn't dare to guarantee that he would change to Xiao Qingya's position and whether he would do something desperate. But no one would doubt it. Xiao Qingya will fall into the well at this time.
This is the prestige of the Xiao family.
The people of the Star of the Ancient Domain will regard the Xiao family as the goal of struggle, as the highest mountain in their path. But even if it is a person who is an enemy of the Xiao family, it can be said that the Xiao family is domineering and that the Xiao family is ruthless, but it will never be said that the Xiao family is a villain.
That's why everyone now believes in Xiao Ming's five people so much, and they also faintly take Xiao Ming's five people as the leader. If it were to be led by any other company, the other major forces would definitely not be so relieved.
Five hours wouldn't be a long time at other times, but at this moment, it seemed like a long time - at least not for the infected.
After another two hours of waiting, the infected had already searched the cave.
Xiao Ming has been in charge of reconnaissance and searching, he was the first to find the infected, and carried out a raid on the infected, and then created a false impression to trick the infected in another direction, but this will not last long, and the infected will soon return here.
"These infected people are clearly being accused of something! Their actions are too purposeful. Although parasites retain the intelligence of an infected person, an infected person does not have an ego. Without self-existence, it is impossible to have such a clear purpose without command!" "Since Xiao Ming has made up for the knowledge of parasites, he is the most vocal among everyone.
"You mean, someone is plotting against us?" Situ Yelan's eyes froze, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
If it's really calculated by someone. No matter who this person is, no matter what the forces behind it are, they will all be frantically counterattacked by the seven major forces. If it is a conspiracy calculation among the seven major forces. That will also be attacked by the remaining six.
This friend, except for the Xiao family. The six major forces have suffered great losses. If it's just an accident in the exploration, if it's really plotted, then their anger can burn through the sky.
"Not necessarily. Parasites have the characteristics of bee colonies, and the host of the most advanced 'royal body' is not necessarily human. And since this floating island is a land beast, it is also possible that this parasitic virus was originally one of its means of defense!" Xiao Ming speculated.
"But parasites were invented by humans, and if someone plots against us, then it can explain why there is such a thing here. But if you're talking about the means of defense here, it's really incomprehensible!" Situ Yelan said with a frown.
"I just said one possibility. And there is no evidence that there are no parasites in the Golden Empire. After all, parasitic viruses developed from zombie viruses. Although the zombie virus is a fantasy from the Earth Age, it was once rumored that its most critical technology was also obtained from a golden relic. If this rumor is true, then it is not surprising that the Golden Empire has parasites!" "In fact, Xiao Ming knows that the Golden Empire really has the technology of parasites, but there has never been an official production record. He knew all this from Jelly, but he couldn't say it directly, so he had to explain it in this way. ...
But what he said was not gibberish, but well-founded speculation. So people don't think there's anything wrong with it.
"Whether it's the defenses here, or if someone is plotting against us, what we are facing now is the attack of the infected. Xiao Ming, you can only delay them for a while if you lure them away. And this method can only be used once!" Xiao Zongzheng paced back and forth, and after thinking for a while: "I think we should send someone to the back to have a look, if the back is safer." We don't need to stick here. When Master Xingzheng's antidote succeeds, we will be more sure. In the current situation, our combat effectiveness is insufficient, and if there is any accident, or the enemy who intervenes sideways, we will be quite passive!"
Everyone also felt that Xiao Zongzheng's words were reasonable, so they began to discuss the question of who would explore later. However, after discussing for a long time, there was no result. If you let people with combat power go, then the already stretched combat power here will be even more embarrassing, but let people without combat power go. If there is danger in the future, it is tantamount to sending someone to die.
Several of the masters of the hanging door are very sacrificial. I'm going to sacrifice myself, but I'm still very negative. This kind of time. Any kind of light sacrifice is a wrong decision.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll just let the machine guys go!" Xiao Ming and the others had almost discussed before he spoke.
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in a daze.
"I'm just using the machine to find the way. Is there any problem?" Xiao Ming asked rhetorically when he saw that everyone was looking at him strangely.
"You have a way, why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Qingya said angrily.
"The headmaster said to respect your customs more. Don't you like to use machines?" Xiao Ming said something that made Xiao Qingya roll her eyes.
"Our customs are not pedantic. Besides, who is as rich as you and carries a super-large capacity space bracelet with you!I really want to rob you!" Xiao Qingya said angrily.
Xiao Ming only then reacted, although the Oriental people are conservative, they are not pedantic. If they really don't have any contact with high-tech at all, how can they have a high-tech Draco Star? How can they know the light brain? Everyone didn't think of the machine qì people, it's not that they are also pedantic at this time, but no one has a space bracelet at all, and it is impossible to carry the machine with them, so they can't think that Xiao Ming is just a guy armed with high-tech for a while.
"Then I'll let the machine qì people go to reconnoitre!" Xiao Ming's space bracelet has a large number of reconnaissance planes, which have been used in the Thousand Domains Plain. A boutique that has been further transformed by jelly. (To be continued)
