Chapter 455: The Flame Demon Arrives (15)
Xia Yueke gave a fake laugh. "Brother Bai, what are you talking about? Your loss is our loss, isn't it? We're going to team up together next time!"
Bai Jinglan curled his lips in a smile, a barely perceptible cunning flashing in his eyes, "I knew you were so sweet, Xia Yueke. So you were waiting for me here. I knew it, well, let's continue our journey now. Those fire demons are no longer chasing us, and the remaining people are enough for them to play with."
The arrival of the Fire Demon did help Bai Jinglan. Before, he was thinking that those strong men wanted to share his water, which was such a pity. After all, people will resist when they are forced into a desperate situation. If he didn't give them some water, they would fight to the death. In that case, it would be another tough battle.
Fortunately, although these people forgot to take food, they did not lose any of the water bags they had on them, and his younger brothers also picked up all the water bags of those who were burned, ensuring that nothing was wasted.
Unexpectedly, the burly man, his minions, and the remaining allied players were all eliminated in one fell swoop. Although he also lost a few minions, so what.
A fierce look first flashed across Bai Jinglan's face, as if he was still savoring the melee just now, and then he couldn't suppress a smile, which was ostentatious and presumptuous.
He set out again, his steps filled with an air of indomitable momentum.
They were still walking, and perhaps because of the reduction in supplies, their speed was much faster.
On the way, Xia Yueke couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bai, do you feel that there are a lot more fire demons? And where did those come from? They can't possibly have caught up with us, but that's unlikely. We've been traveling for such a long time."
Xia Yueke frowned and thought, looking very puzzled.
Bai Jinglan raised his eyebrows, a look of impatience on his face, as if his thoughts were interrupted by Xia Yueke's question.
But soon, he put on a playful expression again, "Maybe they've reappeared? Didn't they appear in places with a lot of people and beastmen before? But now they seem to be everywhere. It seems that this desert is not safe either. If we get entangled, we won't be able to leave unless we sacrifice a few people. Xia Yueke, are you afraid that Brother Bai will feed you to the fire demon?"
Bai Jinglan was serious at first, but at the end he started to ask for a beating.
Xia Yueke gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Of course not, Brother Bai, you're my good ally. Besides, aren't you curious about my secrets? If I die so soon, the game might not end and even get more difficult."
Isn't Bai Jinglan curious? Then let him be curious enough, and be a little wary of her.
Bai Jinglan smiled faintly, "Xia Yue, you can fight back? It's rare, really rare."
Xia Yueke snorted coldly and decided not to talk to him anymore. It was so infuriating. They were clearly talking about serious matters, but in the end, nothing came of it.
Cangwu followed Xia Yueke closely from behind. Hearing Bai Jinglan's infuriating words, he looked at Xia Yueke and said, "Boss, do you want me to teach him a lesson? He actually dared to challenge you!"
Cangwu was extremely angry, his eyes were colder than ever before. At first glance, he was very similar to the Cangwu that Xia Yue hated before.
Xia Yueke immediately shook her head. "No need. Anyway, we can't reach the destination safely with just a few of us. It would be good to have a companion for the journey. He's just talking now. After all, I still have value. He won't really do that."
Cangwu nodded, his face full of disappointment.
Xia Yuke didn't look at it any more and continued on his way. Maybe because the number of fire demons increased, the weather was very hot and the water was not enough to drink. He finished a water bag in one breath.
The situation in the team was not good either. Suddenly, the guy in work clothes who was walking at the back, supervising his younger brothers to carry supplies and carrying large and small bags himself, collapsed.
He collapsed to the ground, his face towards the blue sky, his back towards the desert, his limbs twitching, his face abnormally flushed, beads of sweat the size of beans continuously emerging from his forehead, but instantly evaporated by the high temperature.
He opened his mouth wide and breathed heavily, making a hoarse and unpleasant sound in his throat.
His eyes were wide open, his cracked lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a complete syllable. He could only squeeze out a few vague words intermittently: "Hot... so hot..."
Xia Yuke turned around and saw this scene, and her pupils shrank immediately. Could it be that the guy in work clothes had heatstroke?
But there is no Huoxiang Zhengqi water here!
Xia Yueke hurried over and looked nervously again and again, "What should we do? How about you drink some more water?"
The guy in overalls was a nice guy, and she really didn't want him to die like this.
Bai Jinglan walked over slowly, his voice cold, "It's useless. It's so hot, and it's rare for him to hold on for so long. Besides, there's not even a shade here, and the sun is so strong. If the temperature doesn't drop immediately, he'll burn to death in no time."
Xia Yueke turned her head and glared at Bai Jinglan, "He's your subordinate. He's in this state, why are you still so calm? Can't you ask your people to get him some water to drink?"
Bai Jinglan still had the same expression, "I told you he's going to die, it would be a waste to give him the drink! Aren't the rest of us going to hurry on?"
Xia Yuke choked and turned around to look at the guy in overalls who looked miserable. She felt a little bit sorry for him, but did she want to reveal that she had ice superpowers?
Just when Xia Yueke was hesitating, Ah Fu behind him also made a movement, and unexpectedly fell backwards and fainted.
His face was covered in sweat. He obviously drank more water than anyone else, so how could he encounter such a thing?
Xia Yue was anxious and didn't care about anything else. She had been with Ah Fu for so long. He was a kind person, knew how to work, and had a keen eye, so she didn't ask too many questions.
Xia Yueke quite likes him as a teammate.
Xia Yuke gritted her teeth and decided to help these two people. Although she was not sure whether she could succeed, it would be a pity not to give it a try.
Bai Jinglan stood beside Xia Yueke, observing her expression the whole time. Seeing her bearing humiliation, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Do you have a solution?"
There was a hint of certainty in his tone.
Xia Yueke rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't know if this will work, but you have to get them all out of here. There are too many of you here, and it's easy to prevent them from breathing fresh air!"
Bai Jinglan snorted and told his younger brothers to get out.
He himself did not leave, but came closer with a smile, "Xia Yueke, you are finally going to use your ultimate move, Brother Bai is looking forward to it."
Xia Yueke didn't understand, "Why don't you leave? Just leave me here alone, and you and Cangwu go!"
Bai Jinglan shook his head, "No, it's up to you whether you want to save me or not, I'm going to be here anyway, you have no right to control me!"
