The blazing campfire drives away the moisture in the leaf forest and also dispels the night in the camp.
Xue Hua sat on the stones next to the bonfire, wrapped in a cotton blanket, holding a cup of warm fragrant pulp carefully prepared by Funia and added with soothing herbs.
On two thick tree stumps to his left, the Rogge mercenary sisters were snuggling together, listening to him tell the story of his adventure after jumping from the entrance of the maggot lair.
The two sisters were mercenaries who had signed a complete contract with him. They had also seen the Zerg nest managed by Zagara before, so there was no big need to hide the following things from them.
So Xue Hua recounted everything he encountered below word for word.
Although Xue Hua is not a good storyteller, the two girls listened to it with gusto because the story itself was weird and thrilling.
Especially when Xue Hua mentioned that the "channels" they walked through were the "blood vessels" in the brain of the Sandworm Queen (they said they couldn't understand the neural network), the two little girls opened their mouths in surprise.
, his eyes widened, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"So...we are now standing on top of the big head of a big bug (ahem~)?" Annie asked with a slightly panicked expression as if she didn't know what to do.
"Wow~ will it come out of the ground?" Funya was even more exaggerated, shrinking her little feet and climbing onto the tree stump, as if she didn't dare to go down to the ground.
"Well...it can't be like that...forget it, just understand it like this, but it won't come out of the ground because its head is too big and it can't drag it...
"
Xue Hua was just about to show off in front of the two girls the trick he learned from Abathur, when he suddenly remembered that even he couldn't understand these "bioengineering reports" that were mixed with very professional vocabulary.
Two little girls with no basis in biology are probably no different from listening to heavenly books.
So he decisively skipped all the explanations and started directly to appease...
"Hehe...the head is too big...can't drag it~it sounds so pitiful~~"
"Pfft...yes, yes~~"
Who would have thought that the two girls were so amused by Xue Hua's last words that they hugged each other and started laughing.
These two little things...
Xue Hua smiled helplessly, stood up and came to the side of the two girls, tightened the cotton blanket wrapped around them, and suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap them in the blanket amidst the exclamations and laughter of the sisters.
He stood up and lifted them in front of the sisters' tent like two little rabbits wrapped in cotton, and then gently carried them into the tent.
Although the two girls didn't go in today, they still felt uncomfortable staying there. They were even worried and frightened by him, especially after the entrance to the maggot nest in front of them suddenly disappeared. According to the insect mother who looked after them, the two girls
I was almost scared to tears.
If the two sisters were not connected by fate to Xue Hua, and if something went wrong with Xue Hua, they would immediately go into trouble. The two girls would have been searching for the next entrance to the oasis.
However, even though the insect mother who passed through knew that everything was fine with Xue Hua and was just temporarily trapped, the two of them still couldn't relax for a moment.
It wasn't until Xue Hua walked out of the forest and appeared in front of them that they put their hearts back in their stomachs.
A full half-day of worry and self-blame for not being able to do anything made the two girls as exhausted as he was, so when Xue Hua said good night to them and closed the tent door again, the two sisters almost
He immediately became sleepy-eyed.
However, just when Xue Hua was about to turn around and return to the campfire, two little heads suddenly appeared on the tent door.
The two girls begged behind Xue Hua in a voice similar to coquettishness: "Master, next time there is such a fun thing, please take Anne (Fonia) with you~ We will definitely be obedient, no
It will cause trouble for you~"
Hearing this, Xue Hua's steps suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became complicated.
He understood what the two girls really wanted. They just wanted to be treated as warriors by him, not as little cooks and little housekeepers.
But he did not dare to make a firm promise in this regard, because to this day, his expedition was becoming more and more dangerous and complex.
The mystery of Tarasha's ancient tomb has yet to be resolved, and advanced intelligent life forms suspected to come from other higher civilizations have slowly surfaced. A slightly more distant concern is the terrifying tentacle-covered planet that the insect fleet has arrived at.
planet and other secrets about the universe.
All this is beyond what two little girls can afford.
Although their strength is considered good among their peers, even Kasha, the legendary Amazon, once praised their extraordinary potential.
But at present, it seems that the strength of the two of them is not enough to share anything for him.
Even if in the future, they can eventually achieve legendary feats, or even reach heights above legend, they may not be able to help him in this regard.
Therefore, he must not involve them both in this situation where even he feels increasingly powerless.
At least not now.
Therefore, he could only be cruel and not look back at the two girls with pleading eyes.
He just took a deep breath, and then said in a slightly trembling tone: "It's already very late, go to bed quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow."
After hearing his words, the eyes of the two girls suddenly dimmed. They looked at each other and saw the disappointment and unwillingness on each other's faces.
But the sisters were as obedient as ever and did not continue to say anything. Instead, they responded obediently and retreated into the tent.
The girls' cuteness made Xue Hua feel even more distressed.
He knew they just didn't want to add more worries and troubles to him...
He stood there and raised his head slightly to look at the clear night sky, confusion flashed in his eyes for a moment.
——Perhaps it was a mistake in itself to ask him to bring the sisters out of the Rogge camp...
Akara had hoped that he could take his two promising girls to see the vast world outside, but his world seemed a bit too vast...
With a slight sigh, Xue Hua shook his head and temporarily put this thought out of his mind.
Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, there was no point in regretting it, not to mention that he didn't regret it so quickly.
Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe the two girls will soon find their own opportunities?
He had never believed in fate before, but since traveling to this world and possessing the insect swarm, he has begun to have a little respect for this great power in the dark.
let it go!
Xue Hua sighed, walked back to the fire and sat down, and at the same time turned his attention to the main nest mind.
Just now, Isa sent him a briefing about the swarm fleet and Dehaka. There were some contents in the briefing that required him to make a final decision.
For him, this long night has just begun. With everything mixed up, he still has many, many things to deal with...
