Chapter 16 I Just Care About Him

The snake, with a body length of over 6 meters and a waist thickness of nearly 1 meter, stood upright with one-third of its body, but was still half as short as the willow tree in front of it.

Lei Xingyi, who was close to the willow tree's attack range, found that the willow branch's attack was only a little painful but could not break his scales. So he swam directly under the tree roots, raised his thick snake tail and hit the willow tree trunk hard.

The snake's tail, which was thick enough, slammed into the trunk of the willow tree without mercy, but each blow could only create a shallow pit as thick as a finger. The snake's scales with barbs would bring out a large amount of wood chips every time the snake's tail was pulled away, and they would splatter everywhere like the blood of the willow tree.

There was a constant sound of whipping and slapping, occasionally mixed with the sound of sawdust being driven into the ground.

After hitting the tree trunk ten times in a row, Zang Ye called Lei Xingyi back.

After Lei Xingyi's ferocious snake body left the willow tree's attack range, An Nuo turned sideways to take a look.

The snake's body didn't seem to have any damage, and the mark on the tree trunk that was hit was only less than the depth of his palm.

So, the tree and the snake attacked each other for a long time, but only caused some minor skin injuries to each other!

"Go and try to find out if there are any more trees that are mutants, then go and take a rest. I'll leave the rest to you."

After giving the instructions and watching the long black snake swim towards another willow tree, Zang Ye turned to look at Lei Xingxu and said, "Take out the laser gun and burn the tree trunk directly."

"Um."

Lei Xingxu took out a small box from his backpack and quickly began to assemble a series of parts into a spear. Then he inserted a level 1 crystal core into the spear's energy slot and fired at the mark left by the snake's tail on the tree trunk.

A solid red line fell into the groove on the tree trunk, burning a small black dot. Lei Xingxu observed the changes on the tree while adjusting the gun in his hand.

Finally, a red lightsaber about the width of a palm and about one and a half meters long took perfect shape. Under Lei Xingxu's precise control, it slowly embedded into the tree trunk along the traces left by the snake's body.

Half an hour later, the willow tree, which had been waving its branches in frustration and anger, collapsed to the ground. The next second, a tender green bud appeared visibly at the bare roots, and then slowly grew taller and hardened.

Zang Ye, who had been waiting on the side, rushed forward with a cold energy sword. With one sword, he cut off the tree trunk that had just grown to less than the length of his forearm, and also cut off a piece of tree root.

Only after the trunk was shaved as flat as the ground did a hint of hazy purple finally appear.

After Zang Ye aimed at the target and dug out the level 7 crystal core, the entire willow tree completely lost its vitality.

On the other side, Lei Xingyi, who had calmed down his restless body, also came back dressed.

"There are three more willow trees over there that are also mutants. I've left marks on them."

"Yeah." Zang Ye nodded and turned to look at Lei Xingxu, "You go there and just burn the tree trunk right through."

"Okay." Lei Xingxu nodded and walked in the direction indicated by Lei Xingyi.

"Let's go, everything is settled." Zang Ye picked up the backpack on the ground and walked to An Nuo's side, "You can go and rest now."

"Yeah." Walking to the fallen willow tree trunk, An Nuo sat directly on the tree, looking at Lei Xingyi, who was breathing heavily, with concern, "Are you okay?"

"The fact that I'm still in complete human form means I'm fine. Put away those disgusting thoughts in your mind! Otherwise..." Lei Xingyi glared at An Nuo, a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and his slightly slender tongue slid across his sharp fangs provocatively.

"I... I didn't!" An Nuo's face was red, and his cheeks were as round as an angry pufferfish. He lowered his eyes to avoid the gaze of Lei Xingyi's flickering vertical pupils.

"Lei Xingyi, go make a fire!" Zang Ye put away his backpack and found something for Lei Xingyi to do, then sat next to An Nuo.

The moment An Nuo sat down, Bai Han and Bai Yan very tactfully followed the direction Lei Xingxu left.

"Are you scared?" Zang Ye lowered his head slightly, raised his finger and gently poked An Nuo's cheek.

So tender!

How can she be so cute!

I really want to kiss her!

"Lei Xingyi's pollution level is just a little too high, so he will be a little agitated for a while after turning back into human form. He's not being mean to you."

"I know that after a sentinel with a high pollution value changes its form, it will be affected by its animal nature for a period of time, causing it to behave more violently." An Nuo sighed, looking at Zang Ye with red eyes, "But..."

An Nuo took a deep breath, his body trembling visibly, before continuing, "But I just feel that he's not so vicious just because of his animal nature."

"He seems... seems... to be very hostile to me."

"And Lei Xingxu too!"

"Are they very hostile to the guides, or are they targeting me alone?!"

"I just wanted to show some concern for him, but he..."

"Don't think too much. They're not targeting you on purpose." Zang Ye reached out and pulled An Nuo into his arms. "It's just that when they went to the guides for spiritual comfort, they were harassed by many of them, which caused them to have a little stress reaction towards the guides."

"This time, they are running low on Level 7 Appeasement Stones, so they came here to collect Crystal Cores."

"Just talk less to them."

"Of course, if there's an emergency, they can still be trusted. No matter how hostile they are to the guide, they're kind by nature. I've also asked them to protect you, and they promised."

"Ah? What did those guides do to them..." An Nuo raised his head in Zang Ye's arms and looked at him, expressing his unfinished thoughts with his wide-open cat eyes.

"Yeah." Zang Ye nodded.

"How can there be such an excessive guide!" An Nuo bit her lip, her face flushed with anger.

"Not all guides are as good as you!" Zang Ye smiled and touched An Nuo's head. "It's really my honor to meet you."

"Me too." An Nuo propped himself up and kissed Zang Ye on the side of his face, then buried his head in his full and strong chest.

Zang Ye, who was aroused by An Nuo's kiss, tried to lift the face of the person in his arms, but found that the person was burying himself deeper and deeper. He could only lick his back teeth helplessly to suppress the desire that surged in his throat.

"Captain, we've got them all back."

After the two of them hugged each other tenderly for a while, the brothers Bai Han and Bai Yan came back with Lei Xingxu, each holding a beautiful level 7 crystal core in their hands.

Zang Ye patted An Nuo on the back, and with her cooperation, he led her to sit by the fire, and at the same time accepted the crystal core handed over by Lei Xingxu and the other two.
