Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Chapter 174 Prophet Li-Unexpected Attack.

She withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the "scenery" outside the window. The next moment, the originally quiet environment was suddenly filled with noise and light.

Chun Qing immediately stood up and said, "Miss, I'll go see what's going on."

Chunqing came back after more than ten minutes.

"My lady, it's the nobles who came before us who have returned."

"Some are injured, some have completed their mission."

"Don't worry about them." Xia Jiumeng said lightly.

There is no need to care if you are not familiar with each other.

In the next few days, Xia Jiumeng and his group stayed quietly in the house without asking about anything happening outside. They really had a good rest.

Occasionally, Chunqing would go out and deliver some extra labor-inducing vegetables to the Knights. After all, they were the ones patrolling and protecting the area, so naturally they had to give them some face.

"Knight Commander, this is today's fruit. Give it to the others as a snack." Chun Qing handed the basket in her hand to the Knight Commander.

"How can this be so embarrassing? You guys have given us a lot of food these past few days."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Thanks to you for taking care of our young lady these days, she has been able to rest peacefully. Just take it." Chun Qing stuffed the thing directly into his hand.

"Okay, Maid Chunqing, thank the Duke for me." The Knight Commander accepted the basket reluctantly.

In fact, it is very uncomfortable for them to drink the nutrient solution every day which has no taste and can only fill the stomach.

If the Duke hadn't asked the maid Chunqing to deliver some food or fruit every day, they would probably go crazy.

People are strange. They may not be hungry, but they just want to eat something delicious.

There's nothing to eat in this shabby place. They can't just catch stray animals and eat them.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore. They were recuperating here in a miserable state and eating tasteless nutrient solution, but how come that useless duke could eat vegetables and fruits every day?

"Duke Xia really knows how to enjoy himself. He doesn't put himself in a difficult position in this place."

Chunqing turned her head and saw that the person who was speaking was a maidservant beside the viscount, with disdain on her raised face.

It was obvious that the Viscount was signaling his maid to say this.

Her face darkened immediately. "Sir, please be careful with your words."

The Viscount sneered disdainfully, "Isn't that right?"

"Everyone here strives for the glory of the empire, but only the Duke comes here to enjoy himself. Fruits today, vegetables tomorrow."

“Isn’t it just about enjoying it?”

Chun Qing was about to refute when Xia Jiumeng's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"If you envy me, you can follow my example."

"A grown man, what are you so jealous of here?"

Xia Jiumeng, wearing a white and blue gradient dress, slowly walked forward and looked at the so-called "Viscount", a man who was a few centimeters shorter than her.

The man saw the disdain in Xia Jiumeng's eyes, but he still said with a forced smile, "What wind blew Duke Xia out?"

Xia Jiumeng tilted her head and asked, "Guess?"

Man: "......." I guess your sister.

"It seems that you are stupid and can't guess it." Xia Jiumeng looked regretful and then ignored him and looked at the Knight Commander.

"Knight Commander He, are you paying attention to the information about the wandering body in the depths?"

The Knight Commander, He Yi, nodded and said, "Of course there is. I send people to check on the battle situation over there every day."

"Don't worry, Duke Xia. That wandering body is no longer viable. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be gone in the next two days..."

"Knight Commander! Something happened! Something happened!" He Yi heard a cry before he finished speaking.

When someone ran up to him, he couldn't help but yell, "What's going on? Why are you so irritable?"

The man didn't care about being scolded, but just said breathlessly, "That... 3s wandering body... was originally dying, but... just now suddenly went berserk..."

"We killed so many people at once, and Zongheng's team leader was also seriously injured. The situation is getting out of control."

"And on my way back, I saw many stray bodies being forced towards us by the pressure from that 3s stray body."

"We can't stay here anymore, we have to leave immediately." The knight who rushed back said all his words in one breath and then fell to the ground exhausted in an instant.

Xia Jiumeng instantly realized the danger and said, "We have to leave immediately. According to what he said, there will probably be a bunch of stray bodies here soon."

He Yi nodded immediately. "I will notify everyone to evacuate immediately. It may be too late to pack up. You live nearby, so you can go back and see if there is anything important."

After he finished speaking, he pulled the knight lying on the ground and walked away.

Xia Jiumeng also took Chunqing to the house where they lived.

The provocative viscount and the maid stood there blankly. "You..." Didn't you see him?

Just ignore him like that?

I want to get angry but seeing the emptiness in front of me, I have to hold it back.

Forget it, it’s dangerous now, let’s talk about it after it’s safe.

He ran away with his maid in shame.

Time was running out and there was no time to pack slowly, so Xia Jiumeng asked Chunqing to take the important things and called Mo Yuanming to go to the back of the gathering place, where Knight Commander He was gathering members of the Knights.

"Everyone, get your stuff ready. Five of you will lead the way, the nobles will walk in the middle, and the rest of you will follow me at the rear."

"Don't pack up yet. The guy in the deep has gone crazy and forced a bunch of stray bodies out towards us. We don't have time."

"Get out!"

The people present also knew the seriousness of the situation and cooperated very well. They lined up and began to retreat without any delay.

"go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wandering figure suddenly attacked He Yi from behind, but was killed by his nimble backhand sword.

"Level 39." This level is not low. It seems that the levels of the wandering bodies that come here will not be much different.

He Yi immediately reminded, "One has already appeared, I'm afraid the others will be here soon, their level is not low, everyone be careful."

Fortunately, the average strength of each Knight is around 50, so they should be able to get through it with good cooperation.

Upon hearing this, the Knights immediately took a defensive stance. Sure enough, the next second many stray bodies suddenly appeared from nowhere and began to attack everyone.

"what!"

"Help!"

"Go away!"

The entire knight order was thrown into chaos in an instant.

The noble young masters and young ladies were so frightened when they saw so many stray bodies that they screamed.

The originally well-arranged formation was also disrupted.

After killing a few strays, He Yi looked at the chaotic team, his forehead veins suddenly bulged, and he roared, "Shut up!"

"Don't run around! Stay in line and use your powers!"

Damn, these noble young masters are fine with a few stray bodies, but when there are too many, they become panicked and chaotic, and the originally arranged team becomes a mess.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the left. It turned out that a stray creature broke through the knights' defense and attacked a noble. The noble immediately pushed his maid out.

The wandering body's huge front claws directly tore the maid into pieces, and the nobleman was even ready to throw out the noble lady who was pale but still willing to help.

Xia Jiumeng's face turned ugly when she saw this scene. What a coward.

"Chunqing."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chun Qing immediately understood and directly controlled the vines she had grown to knock the wandering body in front of her away and quickly approach the noble.

A beautiful side kick directly kicked the noble away and saved the girl in his hands.

"Thank you, thank you."

"It's okay, go back to the team."

Chunqing shook his head and dealt with the stray body in front of him, killing it in a few moves.

"Damn it, you lowly maid, how dare you kick me?" The noble who was kicked away by Chunqing stood up in embarrassment, cursing gloomily.

Chun Qing ignored him and returned to Xia Jiumeng.

After watching Xia Jiumeng holding an ice bow that came from nowhere and cooperating with the dark blue Maine Coon cat to repel a stray body and let other knights kill it, he praised, "Miss, your strength has become stronger again."

"Fortunately."

Xia Jiumeng felt a little ashamed. She was deliberately hiding her incompetence.

Even Li Shen didn't use his full strength.

In this way, after the team lost several people, the wandering bodies gradually disappeared and they were safe for the time being.

The entire team was now in a messy position with several vacancies, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and some fragments of armor and swords.

Those knights and maids who were killed by the wandering body and then swallowed up could not come back even if they killed the wandering body.

The originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

He Yi looked at the weapons and bloodstains on the ground and walked forward silently to pick them up.

No matter how many years have passed, humans and wandering bodies will suffer heavy losses once they clash.

Perhaps because he saw that the environment was safe, the nobleman who had taken people as wanderers appeared again.

"Duke Xia, your maid kicked me without regard for status. Won't you give me an explanation?"

Xia Jiumeng looked up at the person who came. Wasn’t this the viscount who had caused trouble before?

I didn't recognize it because of the confusion before.

She snorted coldly, "You should be glad it's not me who goes."

"Otherwise it won't be as simple as kicking you away." And you will be made to feed the stray body.

She hated the people who had no ability but were arrogant, and who would retreat and serve as human shields for others when they encountered danger.

"you...."

The Viscount wanted to say something but was chilled by Xia Jiumeng's cold gaze and could only walk away in shame.

He Yi came back just in time to see this scene after selecting the people. This Duke Xia might not be as simple as people say.

He also saw during the battle just now that the cat beside her was actually a supernatural animal of a high level, and it even listened to her.

Her resonance ability could actually cooperate with the cat to condense an ice bow, and the bow was very accurate. At that time, many knights were almost attacked by stray bodies, but they were all stopped by her bow. She even helped them kill many stray bodies.

"Your Excellency the Duke's abilities are indeed unique." He Yi walked to Xia Jiumeng with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"It was just luck." Xia Jiumeng caught Li Shen who jumped back.

"You are too modest, Duke. Your cat is quite powerful."

Those wandering bodies are basically over level 40, so it is not easy for Xia Jiumeng's resonating ice bow to cause damage to them.

and.

He Yi lowered his gaze and met Li Shen's. Seeing the indifference and vigilance in the cat's eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

This cat has been caught badly by those stray cats.

(Wow, the prophet wrote too much and got 3 stars, so it’s a bit broken. Wow┭┮﹏┭┮, I will finish it as soon as possible)
