“Um, Senior Qingyi, a mere gang shouldn’t be able to harm us. Think about it, we did manage to survive the Dead Man’s Cutter in the [Dopegonya Void].
"No matter how strong the Mountain Lion is, it's impossible for it to beat the Dead Road Butcher."
Upon hearing Faga's explanation, Qingyi immediately put on a thoughtful expression, her mental database operating at high speed, drawing on past data to assess the difference in combat strength between Faga and his group and the mountain lion.
Before long, the woman in green raised her eyebrows and looked at Faga again.
It seems...it appears...that, as Fagga said, the mountain lions have little chance of harming them.
But Ruby...
The man in blue tilted his head, bypassing the obstruction of Fa Jia's body, and looked at Ruby behind him, his face immediately showing hesitation.
Seeing that Qingyi's expression softened slightly, Fajia quickly seized the opportunity, moving two steps to the side to reveal Ruby behind him.
Ruby's view suddenly opened up, and she was still a little confused. She blinked and looked at the group of people who had suddenly entered her field of vision, not knowing what to say.
But soon, Fagga spoke up: "Seth... Uncle, you also want to develop Ruby into a better investigator, right?"
Upon hearing the word "uncle," Seth bristled, but he patiently listened to Faga's story, then crossed his arms and said:
"Of course! Ruby is so young, and she's only just become an apprentice rope maker, yet she already has experience leading people out of caves. Given time, she'll definitely become an excellent investigator!"
"Besides, I'm not actually that much older than you, so could you please stop using the word 'uncle'?"
Upon hearing this, Faga nodded, completely ignoring the latter half of Seth's sentence, and then turned to look at Qingyi:
“Look, Senior Qingyi, Ruby is going to become an investigator in the future, but how can she become an excellent investigator without experience in exploring the void?”
"Besides, look around, with so many sheriffs here, how could they not protect Ruby's safety?"
As Fagar finished speaking, Ellen immediately patted Ruby on the back.
Ruby was hit in the back and stumbled forward a few steps, but when she turned around, she saw that Eileen looked completely unaffected, which left her a little confused.
But the quick-witted Ruby rolled her eyes and then understood everything, nodding repeatedly and saying:
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Senior Qingyi, I can take care of myself. Besides, when we were in Void Zero, I sometimes had to come and save those two."
Upon hearing this, not only were the police officers in green stunned, but Ailian and Fagga also turned their heads sharply to look over.
Ruby stuck out her tongue, shrank her neck, and laughed awkwardly.
But soon, she shamelessly thrust out her breasts and put her hands on her hips.
What's wrong? Calling for reinforcements doesn't count as saving someone?
I'm awesome!
Qingyi glanced around and, seeing that neither Faga nor Ellen seemed to have any intention of questioning it, decided to take it as true for the time being. She coughed lightly and said, "In that case, Zhu Yuan, take them with you."
"Ah, oh!"
Zhu Yuan suddenly frowned. Come to think of it, she should be the captain.
Oh well, he's a senior in blue robes after all.
Zhu Yuan sighed and looked helplessly at Fa Jia and his group: "Alright then, taking you along is not a problem, but you must follow orders."
"Okay, Sister Zhu Yuan!"
Ruby raised an arm and enthusiastically cheered for Zhu Yuan.
"You, you."
Zhu Yuan couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. She had absolutely no way to deal with this little sister who might become her colleague in the future. She then lowered her head and glanced at the helmeted muscle man who had been sitting on the ground watching the commotion for a long time.
Let's get down to business!
Zhu Yuan crouched down, her vision level with the helmeted muscular man: "We'll bandage you up later. Please cooperate with us and lead us to the Mountain Lion's base camp."
However, the muscular man in the helmet disdainfully turned his head away and snorted angrily, "Hmph! I would never betray my brothers."
Telling Fagar information and acting as a guide are two different things, and the helmeted muscle man certainly knows the difference.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan added insult to injury: "But your brothers have already abandoned you."
Whoosh!
One slash, right to the heart of the helmeted muscle man!
He clutched his chest tightly, clenched his teeth, and after a long pause, finally managed to say, "That was because the situation was urgent, and they had no other choice."
"But they kidnapped our examiner uncle, which made us fail the test!"
On the other side, the harmless Ruby pointed to her cheek and recalled, "I remember the examiner fainted back then."
"You can take away someone who is unconscious, but you can't take away someone who only has a leg injury. Is it really because you can't?"
Whoosh!
Another slash, and the muscular man in the helmet suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, almost spitting a mouthful of blood into his helmet.
Fortunately, he held it in; he just felt a little dejected and his body slumped, supporting himself on one hand.
