The interior of Crater 134
was burned by the fire dragon before it landed, revealing the strongest stone walls. However, these stone walls are not flat and have many folds.
When Qin Chi held Xu Qiao and swam to a protruding stone wall, the four lotus stems in the middle of the water disappeared from their sight.
Qin Chi used the wind as a blade to cut out a small cave with a length, width and depth of about one meter each on the stone wall on one side of the water. He then took out a quilt from the space and spread it in the cave. Half of it was laid flat and the other half was dropped to the water to absorb. On the vertical stone wall, in this way, when Xu Qiao's arm rests on the quilt, it avoids the pain caused by direct skin friction against the stone wall.
Xu Qiao was finally able to float in the water with the strength of her arms. Before she could turn around, Qin Chi came up from behind.
His dragon tail is still there, but part of it has faded downwards, and Qin Chi's intention of taking over more body parts is self-evident.
He kissed the back of her neck and moved his right hand to the front, as if he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable if she hit the stone wall directly, but his hand was clear...
The water was like a hot spring, and Xu Qiao's face was flushed by the heat.
Qin Chi turned her around, grabbed Xu Qiao's hands and put them on his shoulders. When Xu Qiao closed her eyes and hugged him cooperatively, Qin Chi supported her center of gravity with one hand to let her come out more of the water, and held her with the other hand. her face.
There was another long kiss, and Qin Chi asked in her ear: "Do you want it?"
Xu Qiao leaned on his shoulder, which was an obvious acquiescence.
Qin Chi: "The tide of beasts came suddenly, and there was no time to prepare necessary supplies in the space."
Xu Qiao looked at the lotus petals floating on the water in the distance, condensed a line of water words and walked around to her boyfriend: "I am a therapist."
Healing . The master can reconnect muscles and bones, remove toxins and heal injuries, and of course he can also use a trace of spiritual power to mobilize the wood element to make his thousands of troops return in vain.
Qin Chi did not reply, but held his partner higher in his arms.
The relatively calm water suddenly rippled out from behind a certain stone wall, and a dragon's tail, which had always been calm and dozens of meters long, broke out of the water and wrapped around a green lotus stem.
The water was swaying, and the four lotus stems and leaves began to sway. I don't know how much time passed until the source of the ripples suddenly stopped shaking, and the dragon's tail coiled high on the lotus stem fell heavily back into the water. The four lotus stems and the ones above The green lotus leaves even disappeared.
Xu Qiao was still held tightly in Qin Chi's arms. It was hard to tell whether the drops on her cheeks were sweat or water drops. Her back was pressed against the damp quilt spread on the stone cave, and her center of gravity was firmly held by his one hand. Standing, his feet rested feebly in the water. In the long shock that had just ended, these feet kicked and stepped on the scaly dragon's body countless times.
And her hand...
Xu Qiao, who was lying on Qin Chi's shoulder, opened his eyes and saw nail scratches all over Qin Chi's back.
Is he in pain?
Xu Qiao didn't know, she just remembered that no matter how hard she grabbed, she couldn't slow down Qin Chi.
Feeling very thirsty, Xu Qiao used her powers to give herself a drink of water, and then silently helped her boyfriend recover from the minor injury on his back.
Qin Chi could feel the unique itching when the wound was healing, and realized what Xu Qiao was doing. Qin Chi asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Xu Qiao: "...I don't feel it."
There was a chuckle in his ear, and then , Xu Qiao was pressed down by him again.
An hour later, Qin Chi, who was wearing S-class armor, flew out of the crater holding his girlfriend who was also wearing armor.
Sitting on the edge of the crater, you can overlook the entire island, including the boundless blue sea around it.
Before coming out, Qin Chi had blocked off the high-altitude wind. Otherwise, with Xu Qiao's current condition, it would be easy for Xu Qiao to get sick if the cold wind blows after he is hot.
Tired and hungry, Xu Qiao had no strength at all. She leaned in Qin Chi's arms and was fed a tube of strawberry-flavored high-grade nutrient solution by Qin Chi. Finally, she could eat her lunch by herself.
"Have you been here before?" Xu Qiao asked curiously while admiring the scenery of the island.
Qin Chi: "Well, the fire dragon likes this crater very much."
Xu Qiao subconsciously looked inside the crater. The lotus spirit body had returned long ago, but the deep water remained below.
His eyes searched a certain hidden stone wall, and the burning feeling became clear again, as if Qin Chi was still there.
Xu Qiao quickly looked away and clicked on the bracelet. It was already half past seven.
She speeded up her meal: "After being out for so long, the base should be worried, as well as your home. Go back early and tell them that you are safe."
Qin Chi thought of something: "How did we leave the base last night? Xu Qiao: "
...I was sleeping in the camp when I was suddenly woken up by Lin Zheng. When I came out, I saw the fire dragon almost biting Lin Zheng's phoenix spirit body."
The fire dragon poked out its head and defended itself: "I just came out." In the sea area, I wanted to find you at the southeast base. That phoenix stopped me inexplicably and said it wanted to beat me, so I would definitely beat it. ]
Xu Qiao understood: "Lin Zheng doesn't know your situation and is worried that you will threaten the security of the base. He didn't mean to provoke you. Don't be angry."
Fire Dragon: [I was angry at the time, but I'm not angry now. If it hadn't been for it If you stop me, I will have to make a wasted trip to the southeast base. 】
Xu Qiao touched the dragon's horn and asked him with a smile: "Did you count how many petals the lotus has last night?"
The fire dragon's face collapsed. The petals were so many and dense that it only counted two or three times every time. If the layers are messed up, you can only count them again.
It was depressed, and the lotus flower poked out from Xu Qiao's hair that exuded a faint lotus fragrance. The diameter of the S-class lotus flower disk has reached 30 centimeters. The main petals are as white as snow, and the tips of countless pink petals move automatically without wind, as if they are in the air. Smirk proudly.
Qin Chi looked at it carefully and guessed: "Two hundred and ninety-seven pieces?"
Lianhua: [The guess does not count, it must be counted correctly. 】
Xu Qiao teased it: "Can I count and pull one by one?"
The lotus disappeared immediately.
On the way back to the southeast base, the fire dragon flew very slowly. Xu Qiao sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, holding the lotus spirit body and counting the petals.
Lianhua likes this game, and Xu Qiao also likes it very much. She has counted every time Lianhua upgraded in the past, but she didn't have time until now.
Pulling the petals was definitely not going to work, so Xu Qiao used her fingers to press the parts she had counted, and pressed her left hand against her right hand to count. When her left hand couldn't press it anymore, Qin Chi, who was sitting opposite, helped her press it, using very gentle force.
Qin Chi's hands were two or three times larger than Xu Qiao's, and his slender fingers were very suitable for helping. When the fire dragon deliberately took a long way to fly above the southeast base, Xu Qiao finally counted clearly and confirmed: "That's two hundred and ninety-seven. "
Lianhua put the flower plate against her face, and after Xu Qiao and Qin Chi activated the flight function of the armor, they disappeared together with the fire dragon.
At this time, the southeast base looked the same inside as usual, but there were a large number of corpses of strange beasts piled up outside, and the guards were cleaning them up.
Suddenly, two figures flew over from the escort. Meng Li, who was standing on the back of the fire scorpion, arrived in an instant. Sun Xuan, who was urging the armor, was one step behind.
"Are you okay?" Meng Li glanced at Qin Chi and looked at Xu Qiao and asked.
Xu Qiao said with a natural expression: "It's okay. Qin Chi took the initiative to let the fire dragon take over after his mental power was exhausted. The fire dragon's sanity has always been there, but Qin Chi slept too deeply and only woke up this morning to recover. What are you doing? Outside?"
Sun Xuan: "I'm on military duty. Meng Li is worried about you, so I'd rather wait outside."
Meng Li: "..."
She gave Sun Xuan a cold look.
Sun Xuan: "Even if I didn't say it, Xu Qiao should have guessed it."
Xu Qiao responded by hugging Meng Li and asked Sun Xuan: "Is the captain back?"
Sun Xuan: "I'm still busy today. Come back in the evening, do you want to go back and rest first, or?"
Qin Chi: "I'll go back to the Northeast Base first."
All twelve branch bases have seen his beast-turned-fire dragon body. This matter should be reported to the Northeast Base. Now, it is necessary for Qin Chi to show up and give an explanation to the people and the army.
He looked at Xu Qiao: "You should be able to come back before dark."
Xu Qiao: "...If you are too busy, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Qin Chi smiled, released the fire dragon, and in a blink of an eye, the figures of the dragon and the dragon disappeared into the sky. .
Sun Xuan looked over for longer than Xu Qiao. After finishing his envy, he asked the two newly promoted S-class experts: "Do you want to go back to rest first, or go to see the two marshals first?"
Meng Li handed Xu Qiao a "You I will go wherever I go."
Xu Qiao: "Let's do business first."
The beast wave has just ended, and the base may have tasks that require their assistance.
The two marshals were both in the central building. The casualties at the sub-base and the other three major bases had been communicated. There were already regulations on how to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers. At this time, there was no military matter that the two marshals were anxious to resolve personally. or government affairs.
So, the marshals received two young S-class rookies together.
Lin Lie said sternly: "With your strength and your great contribution to the beast tide this time, the base has decided to officially grant the two of you, Sun Fushan, Chen Min, and Yang the rank of general of a hundred years. I wonder if you are willing to join the escort army." , accept the appointment of general?"
The military rank of general carries too heavy responsibilities. Xu Qiao and Meng Li looked at each other and did not answer for the time being.
Sun Dagui smiled and said: "Don't worry, we just want to say hello to you first. After all, your contribution to the base is obvious to all in the base. Granting you the rank of general is not only the base's recognition of you, but also expresses the base's gratitude to you." . Furthermore, even though you have reached S level, your combat skills, combat experience, and treatment experience will take longer to hone, and you still have a lot to learn, so you don’t have to worry, the base will not arrange for you to go to the coastal base right away. You have to be thirty years old before you consider the rotation."
Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and gave his answer: "I am willing to serve the base."
Meng Li followed, "I am willing, too."
Sun Dagui said happily: "Okay, when Xiaoshan and the others come back, I will confer duties on you two years ago."
Lin Lie and Xu Qiao learned about Qin Chi's beast transformation problem. As a marshal, he also considered the feasibility of using beast transformation to improve combat effectiveness. .
Xu Qiao: "Before, people with superpowers regarded beast transformation as a serious illness. Losing one's mind to transform into a beast is indeed very dangerous. Therefore, after the patient is cured, almost no one will try to actively hand over the body to the spiritual body. Can you and Qin Chi guess? If it works, we need to conduct observation experiments on people with powers who have recovered from the disease."
Lin Lie: "Yes, this matter will be left to you and Professor Lu. For the patients, the base will formulate corresponding incentive plans. ."
After talking about business, Xu Qiao and Meng Li were about to leave.
As soon as he entered the elevator, Sun Dagui sent Xu Qiao a link.
Xu Qiao clicked on it, and it turned out to be a post on the mercenary forum, with the title: [Let's all count how many petals Xu Qiao's lotus spiritual body has! 】
In the post, the forum’s technical experts took screenshots of lotus clones from various angles from the light screen broadcast of the ten-mile lotus pond, and the number of comments on this childish petal-counting game has reached thousands...
