Chapter 251 Return to Base
The sky was overcast, and the area around the human metal fortress was extremely peaceful. On the fortress wall, four ordinary mercenaries patrolled in circles around the wall. They were surrounded by endless plains. There was no need to worry about bugs lurking close to them. Patrolling was still very easy. of.

The top cover of the fortress is open, and you can see the large vehicles and two strange devices inside. Wei once introduced it to Shuer, saying that it was an air combat weapon called a ghost fighter, but no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it. I think this thing has something to do with flying. It has neither flexible wings nor a light body. How can it fly into the sky?

Everyone didn't pay much attention to these vehicles. Only Yuli, the winged man, climbed up and down on these things called ghost fighters all day long. The fighter plane has been dismantled into parts.However, even though she has shown mercy, watching her measure the length here and the angle there makes people feel frightened, lest she do some destructive behavior.

The rest of the people were very leisurely. Except for those who were training in the shooting range, most of the rest were breathing fresh air around the base. After two days of being bored underground, they were finally freed from the fear of being surrounded by insects. They dared to Normal activities away from the protection of the base.

As for those scholars who caused trouble and fell into the projection of other worlds, they recovered earlier than others and have begun to study the soil characteristics and mineral distribution of this world. Some are measuring local energy dynamics parameters, which is difficult to understand. In a projected world that will disappear soon, the use of measuring these parameters can only be attributed to the quirks of scholars when they are bored.

"Beep, beep, beep." A whistle suddenly came from the city wall, which was a warning signal from the patrolling mercenaries.The moment they heard the whistle, those who were walking for a breather rushed into the outer wall skillfully. Although the scholars were a little reluctant, they still forced themselves to return to the safe base.

"The alarm is off, the alarm is off." Everyone had just run back, and some people had just stood still. Before they had time to breathe, the mercenaries patrolling the city wall sent out a second message, causing everyone to roll their eyes together. "It's the captain and Lin Ms. Jing is back.”

A few worriedly climbed up the city wall and looked around. Sure enough, Moria in the elf form was riding on Shuer, and the two of them staggered back from the south.

Wait, why is the forest spirit lying on Xiuer?And, why from the south?It's not like I'm going the wrong way.

"Huh", during the discussion, everyone just felt a whirlwind hanging around them. Looking carefully, Saff, who had climbed up the city wall together, had disappeared from the side, and under the city wall, the shy female swordsman was carrying a billowing sword. Yanchen rushed in the direction of the two of them.

"How are you doing? Are Moria injured? Are you okay, Shuer? Where are you injured?" Before she could see it, the female swordsman had already asked a series of questions impatiently, "You're not injured? Then why are you carrying this on your back?" Moria."

"I was ridden by him just now, and now I want to ride him back." Moria lay comfortably on Shuer's back, swaying her long hair and explained triumphantly, "How dare you take the opportunity to rape me? I want her to see the terror of forest spirits."

"I have already seen it." Xiuer said with a straight face and expressionless, "And I have seen it many times. The forest elves are indeed a very terrifying race."

"I can't stand you two bastards. You're still having fun when you go to investigate." Saff has forgotten her shyness and gritted her teeth viciously. Even the most innocent person can probably guess what happened. It's nothing more than two idiots. He was just playing a stupid game, and he was really a fool to worry about these two people.

"Thank you, Sasa, I'm sorry for worrying you today. You haven't rested all day, thank you for your hard work." The female swordsman was about to turn her head and leave when she found that her hand had been grabbed. Xiu Er's familiar voice ringing in the ears.A simple thank you, the anger that had arisen inexplicably in Safu's heart instantly dissipated. The courage she had just gritted her teeth had disappeared. She lowered her head timidly, with a happy smile on her lips.

"Pa", before he had time to be happy, he was suddenly slapped hard and skillfully on the back. Xiuer said in a leisurely voice with a smile but not a smile: "However, you dare to say that I am a bastard. I need to be taught a lesson."

Sure enough, the blushing face appeared again, the female swordsman's eyes were filled with water, and she glared at Xiul fiercely, but there was no anger in her eyes at all, but a bit of indescribable charm.

"Eh? You just finished riding me and then you went to flirt with other women. It's just..."

"No flirting!" How could a girl like Saff withstand Moria's teasing? Before Shuer could say anything, she screamed.The scream was so loud that she even suspected that people in the fortress could hear it. The strong shame made her fall into a self-defeating mood, and she simply covered her face and pretended that she did not exist at all.

Building happiness on the pain of others is the best way of entertainment, at least for Shuer and Moria, so much so that even the way home feels a lot shorter. It looked so so so just now. It was far away, but when I looked up, I found that I had arrived at the entrance of the fortress.

"Why are you back from the south?" The expressionless mountain elf and the necromancer with a arrogant look and always condescending eyes are standing at the door to greet them. It seems that these two guys who don't mean what they say are actually quite worried about Shuer and Moria's.

"You are not allowed to mess around." Xiuer preemptively stopped the Lin Jing from talking about being ridden, and replied under Moria's angry gaze, "I was worried about being chased by the insect swarm for more than 200 kilometers. Accidentally wandered into border areas.”

"Where's the invisibility technique?" Mia was stunned, "Didn't you trick me into taking all the scrolls?" "Ahem, please use the term "asking for funding." After seriously correcting Mia's wording, Shuer sighed. He took a breath and said, "There is no time to use it. The bugs are chasing us too closely and have been following us. Once we stop, we will probably be drowned by the tide of bugs. There is no chance to use the scroll."

"How is that possible?" Mia asked with a frown, "The bugs are not that fast. Ordinary people cannot outrun them, but those mercenaries can easily get rid of the bugs when they run long distances."

"Of course the most basic low-level bugs can be thrown away, but the two of us have seen forty or fifty kinds of bugs today. Some are fast running and are responsible for chasing, some are huge and heavy and are responsible for intercepting, and some are hiding and waiting for someone. As we were passing by, someone who was responsible for scaring people suddenly jumped out, and the most important thing was that there was a black cloud of dragonflies flying in the sky, yes, the kind we saw in the research room."

"Same as the situation that day, even if we have left the carpet, as long as we remain in their sight, they will pursue us. In addition, there are often small groups of insects that come out of nowhere to block the road, forcing us to We walked around in a big circle until their high-intensity activities outside the creep took too long and their speed began to slow down, so we barely got rid of them. Phew, I have only experienced running more than 200 kilometers at this speed before. Once, we were exhausted."

In fact, it was Moria who was running hard, and Shuer was riding on her back seriously as a burden. However, he was also constantly using magic to replenish the Lin Jing's strength, and at the same time, he was borrowing Moria's spear to kill. All the bugs blocking the road worked hand in hand with the Lin Jing to clear the path. The two of them focused on their respective tasks, and their cooperation was flawless. But when it came to being really tired, the Lin Jing worked harder.

The intention was just a joke. Xiuer thought that if he said this, Moria would definitely tell the truth and tease him noisily. Unexpectedly, Lin Jing remained silent and just stood quietly beside Saff, as if Acquiesced to Shuer's words.It was a very interesting and considerate reaction. Just this small gesture made Xiure's view of her change a lot.

However, Moria didn't refute, but Xiuer himself felt a little embarrassed. He didn't hide it, and simply told everyone the truth.

"Eh? Are you riding on her?" Unexpectedly, Mia showed an expression of disbelief. After all, she was a mountain elf. She knew the habits of the closely related wood elf symbiotic race. She whispered in surprise, "Are you kidding me?" .”

Mia's somewhat exaggerated reaction gave Shuer a very bad premonition. Looking back, he seemed to have read some racial studies books, which mentioned some forest elves' preferences and habits, which were related to today's incident. As for the content?Ahem, sorry, can't remember.

"Hmm." Pretending to be serious, he changed the subject. Shuer looked around and asked, "Where's Dark? And Yuri and Friesen."

"Dak was supervising the training of those people at the training ground, and he was courting a female scholar by the way. They had already lived together last night. Yuli was staying on the Phantom fighter plane. He should not come back until after dinner, Fu Laison should be around her. Speaking of which, who is this Fraisen..."

Not only Mia, everyone was actually quite confused. It was very strange that this strong assassin would join the excavation team, and he also asked to follow everyone on an adventure in the projection of another world. It was really hard for people to understand.What's even more strange is that Seul had obviously expressed doubts, but Friesen only had a brief confidential conversation with him, and Seul agreed to join him.

No one could understand this, but they had been holding back and not asking. Until now, Mia finally couldn't bear it anymore, especially after receiving the order passed back by Shuer.

"He is getting double remuneration. Your remuneration here is only a small part. In fact, there is a commission with a higher remuneration." Shuer hesitated for a moment, but still explained, "Some people are worried about someone running around on his own. She secretly hired a bodyguard for her through the Thieves Guild. As an assassin, she is actually more suitable for secretly protecting the client. As for the identity of that person, I really don’t know, but I can tell from her temperament that she is not ordinary. As for me Why did you agree to follow him? Ahem, because I was bribed, two hundred gold coins."

"Are you a bastard?" Mia said feebly, unable to get angry anymore, "I decided to find a way to deduct your reward when I go back."

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense." Xiure changed the subject again clumsily, "You already know about my notification?"

"Well, as far as I can see..."

"Don't say anything. I'll talk to Wei first."

"Huh?" Mia's hundreds of years of experience are not fake, and she immediately heard the implication from Xiure's words, "Haha, it seems that even I am among them."

"I said, anyone." Shuer narrowed his eyes, "Be careful, it never hurts."
