…

Before Alo had even finished brewing the medicine, Mikkelsen returned with his entire team!

This news was an absolute delight for Guo Xiaoxiao, even more so than receiving her year-end bonus.

I wanted to rush over to Mickelson, hang on him, and kiss him a couple more times. He's finally back, and a normal person can help me now!!

"Mickelson"

Guo Xiaoxiao rushed outside and shouted. Mickson was very happy. He had brought several large rabbits to cook for Guo Xiaoxiao.

As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao came towards him, she rushed into his arms and wouldn't let go. Mickson put the big rabbit behind his back with one hand and picked up Guo Xiaoxiao with the other, letting her sit on his arm.

"Xiaoxiao, you must have missed me. You know I brought you something delicious, right? Not just that kind of jumping beast, but a different kind, a jumping beast unique to the Forgotten Continent. It's sure to be delicious."

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't care at all whether she could eat well. As long as Mikeson could come back, she would feel a little relieved. She really wanted to tell Mikeson, "Do you know how I've been these past two days?"

I'm living a life worse than death. My head is about to explode, and I haven't slept a wink last night.

"I'm so glad you're back! I'm so glad I finally saw you. I missed you so much!"

Guo Xiaoxiao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Mickelson hadn't expected that after two days away, the treatment he received would be so drastically different.

It seems she really missed him. Mickson brought Guo Xiaoxiao back to the room and saw the mess. The room was already quite messy when he left. Guo Xiaoxiao tidied it up, but not very well.

But how did it get like this? Were those three just going to stand by and watch?

Good heavens, those three were really watching. When Mickson came back, Arthur, Cangjue, and the others didn't show much emotion and just remained silent. Randy, on the other hand, was very hostile towards Mickson and wanted to kick him out.

"The three of them haven't recovered yet, and Carlos is still sleeping."

Mickelson put Guo Xiaoxiao down, and as soon as she touched the ground, she immediately poured out her troubles to him, telling him everything that had happened yesterday and today.

Miksen was actually the one who had the easiest time fighting outside. Didn't he encounter a sandstorm? He hid in a cave to avoid the wind and sand, and only slowly returned after the sandstorm stopped.

He also took the opportunity to go into the forest and hunt a few wild rabbits to bring back.

He hadn't expected that the three of them were still unconscious and Carlos was still asleep. Guo Xiaoxiao used her psychic powers to communicate and reassure Mikeson, explaining the situation in a positive light. But judging from her appearance, Xiaoxiao must have suffered a lot.

There were dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he'd been working too hard all night. Didn't he sleep well last night? Mickson put the rabbit down, wanting to punch those guys a few times.

The snake cubs saw the large rabbit and ran over wanting to eat it. This kind of creature didn't exist in the ancient continent, and its meat was exceptionally delicious, much sweeter than that of rabbits from the ancient continent.

Little Snake Armor: "Wow, we haven't seen Jumping Beast for days! It got caught by Miken. Can we eat it? Huh? Taking a bite shouldn't be a problem, right? The mother beast won't scold us."

Little Snake Ding: "Shut up! The mother beast needs to eat too. She's weak and needs to be nourished. Don't drool over food. If we want to eat, we'll go hunt for ourselves."

Little Snake A: "I bet you can't even retract your tongue properly, and you're the one drooling. How dare you say that to me?"

Little Snake Ding: "Yes, yes... I can't retract my tongue, but I can control it. You can't resist food, so I'm the better one."

Little Snake C: "Stop arguing, we'll just stay here. The mother beast will see us and feed us."

Little Snake B didn't care about anything else; it bit down hard, swallowing a large rabbit whole, and slowly moved it down its throat.

The other snake cubs exclaimed in surprise.

"Fifth brother, why are you shut up? If anyone's going to eat, it's me first, not you!"

"You're really heartless. You've only had a few left and you're already eating one. Leave me a couple of bites, don't swallow it all at once."

"Keep it down and eat quietly. The mother beast will be here soon and she'll give us a good scolding."

Guo Xiaoxiao had already heard the sound. She looked over and saw the snake cub eating the rabbit.

Guo Xiaoxiao guessed they were hungry and hadn't eaten enough, so she didn't bother to ask about it.

Mickelson glanced at it too. He wanted to snatch it, but then thought it wouldn't be right to compete with the cubs for food. The rabbits were all very fresh, lively and energetic. The sight of them wriggling and struggling in the little snake's throat was quite surreal. Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head away and refused to look.

Mickelson didn't say anything, but he was still annoyed. This was clearly a call he specifically made for Guo Xiaoxiao, and with the snake cubs already in their mouths, they should at least leave some for them. Judging by how they ate it, they weren't planning on leaving any for them.

The little snake was trying to restrain them from eating too much, leaving some for the mother beast, but unable to resist the temptation, it joined in and ate heartily.

There were only a few rabbits, and even eight snakes weren't enough to go around. They'd tear them apart, bloody and swallowed, and they wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? I'll go into the forest and hunt a few more jumping beasts for you to eat."

Guo Xiaoxiao quickly refused. She couldn't leave. It was fine if Mickson stayed by her side and did nothing, as it made her feel at ease and like she wasn't facing the situation alone. But if he left and she saw Arthur and the others, Guo Xiaoxiao felt suffocated.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry or hungry. Mickson, don't leave. Stay here with me. I don't want to see those three anymore. I want to cry, but I can't."

When Miken saw Guo Xiaoxiao's condition, he felt extremely sorry for her and promised not to leave until they returned to normal.

Bored, Arthur went to the puddle to look in the mirror and then realized something was wrong. He ran to Guo Xiaoxiao and snuggled up to her. Guo Xiaoxiao was still angry with him and pushed him away, but Arthur wouldn't leave and held on tightly.
