Arknights, my information is updated every day

Even so, Katya rushed back without hesitation, and Magna did not try to stop him.

If she didn't have to take care of Adele, she would definitely catch up with her husband without hesitation.

Adele looked at her father's receding back and tugged at her mother's sleeve worriedly.

"Dad, he'll get Uncle Liberi back, right?"

"Well, your father will!"

Magna stroked her daughter's head gently, her gentle words full of determination.

Adele looked at the Una volcano from afar. She had witnessed the shock of nature today and also realized the dangers involved.

The road of scientific research is not always smooth, and the difficulties and dangers encountered do not only come from research.

Dolly was the first to notice Katia and became interested in this brave and knowledgeable human.

Chen Xiu originally wanted to ride Dolly down the mountain directly, but now he had to take the emperor to meet Katia.

After seeing that the two were safe and sound, Katia finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's that mutated Originium worm?"

"The boss led it far away," Chen Xiu replied. "No one expected such a monster to live here. If there are no sightings, then it must have lived deep in the cave and only recently escaped due to the volcanic activity."

"This is truly a rare discovery," Katia analyzed cautiously. "I wonder if this giant mutated lava source stone worm is the only one, or if it has formed a population. What factors caused its mutation?"

"That's the job of you researchers," Chen Xiu shrugged. "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, if you were to continue your exploration here for a long time, you would have encountered that giant sooner or later. Now you can be more vigilant and prepared."

Katya nodded in agreement.

If they were alone, the situation would be very passive.

Especially since we have our daughter with us during this time, someone will inevitably have to take the initiative to lure that big guy away.

As for who would make the sacrifice, Katia didn't think there would be a second answer.

After returning to the camp, Chen Xiu took out the medical kit from the car and bandaged the emperor.

Soon, the fat penguin's short tail was tangled into a dumpling.

The tip of the tail twists restlessly, which looks inexplicably funny.

Chen Xiu also ingeniously tied a beautiful bow, which added a different kind of charm to the emperor.

Texas crawled out from under the car to take a look. Seeing that the two men were fine, he crawled back under the car to continue inspecting the truck.

Thor Industries' products are of excellent quality, but they can't withstand the crazy rigors of racing against thunderstorms in the wilderness.

Considering that there will definitely be unexpected situations in the future, Texas inspected the truck very carefully.

Hey, when it was just Chen Xiu, life was pretty peaceful...

After settling the emperor down, Chen Xiu also crawled under the car.

Since he knew nothing, the best he could do was help pass tools.

However, it also greatly improved Miss Wolf's work efficiency, and even the feeling of monotony and boredom disappeared.

The tires rubbed against the gravel, making a rustling sound. When Texas stuffed the anti-skid pad into the gap in the chassis, Chen Xiu just handed the torque wrench to her oil-stained palm.

"Sleeve No. 17. Also, I need to calibrate the shock absorbers later."

The Lupo girl bent her knees to adjust her posture, and the tight folds of her black stockings rubbed against the forearm of the Sarkaz youth holding the flashlight.

Texas took a break after tightening half of the bolt on the drive shaft, feeling his arm a little sore.

Due to limited conditions, the postures used to exert force under the car were often awkward.

"Take a break, let me do it."

Chen Xiu moved over and reached out to take the wrench from Texas.

Texas hesitated for a moment, thinking that Chen Xiu might not be able to twist it, but in the end he did not directly reject his kindness.

"Be careful, this place is cramped and it's hard to exert force. If you force it, you might sprain it..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Xiu took the wrench and tightened it in two or three seconds.

"Where do I screw it next? Or do I need to remove it?"

Chen Xiu turned his head to look at Texas, but saw that she did not respond immediately.

Instead, he suddenly reached out, grabbed his arm and squeezed it a few times, feeling that he was indeed much stronger.

Although they are still not as good as those big beasts of burden Sarkaz mercenaries, they can already do some heavy work.

"Have you recovered?"

"It's only temporary. It's only treating the symptoms and not the root cause."

Chen Xiu did not hide it from Texas and directly revealed Ermengarde's disguise and past to her.

"Lich is indeed an expert at solving problems, especially certain difficult and complicated diseases. This potion can make me less vulnerable."

Texas lowered his head and silently calculated the account.

A bottle of potion costs six thousand ducats, and one needs to drink one bottle every two days on average, which means ninety thousand ducats a month.

Converted into Longmen coins, it would be hundreds of thousands, which is barely affordable with Chen Xiu and himself's current abilities!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have bought those two swords. This way I could have saved another 1.5 million.

However, Chen Xiu did not tell me in advance when he bought the sword, so I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to.

I have saved a lot of money during this period, and I can let Chen Xiu use it to buy potions first.

But what if he doesn’t accept it?

The wolf's ears twitched anxiously, and Texas felt a surge of disquiet.

Maybe he'll resort to some tricks to show his strength again, just like he did last time when he cornered him...

In the moonlight, a bonfire crackled on the charred gravel beach.

Everyone sat around the fire, eating barbecue with big mouthfuls, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Chen Xiu stood in front of the electric grill, holding a handful of meat skewers in one hand and sprinkling cumin and chili powder on them with the other.

The fat and lean rockhorn meat skewers were sizzling with oil, and the rising fragrance filled the night sky with the smoke.

At Katia's feet lay a pile of canned instant food, which was supposed to be their dinner for the night.

After all, this camping trip is a long-term field expedition, so life cannot be too refined.

But the arrival of Chen Xiu and others greatly improved their quality of life.

Adele stood in front of the electric grill, her bright eyes fixed on the skewers.

The child was at the age when he was greedy, and he had been eating dry food on the way with the caravan.

Looking at the cute and well-behaved lamb, Chen Xiu couldn't help wanting to tease her, so he took out a handful of freshly grilled skewers.

"Adele, if you're willing to call me 'senior', all of these will be yours!"

Adele blinked, and her sheep ears twitched in confusion.

"Senior Chen Xiu?"

Chen Xiu's heart skipped a beat as his ship was severely damaged and sunk on the spot.

It turns out that farming is suitable for me. Just being called "senior" is enough to make me die without regrets!

As a result, a handful of meat skewers were immediately stuffed into Adele's hands, and Chen Xiu also made a new request.

"Adele, can you say in a firm tone, 'You are wrong, sir. This is our war'?"

Facing Chen Xiu's expectant gaze, Adele hesitated, not knowing how to refuse him.

Although the lamb felt inexplicably ashamed to say this, he finally satisfied him.

"Hmm, ahem! You're wrong, senpai. This is our war!!"

Adele closed her eyes and mustered up the courage to shout out loud.

"Haha! Satisfied, satisfied!"

Chen Xiu laughed and clapped his hands, then stuffed another handful of skewers of meat into Adele's hands.

"This is a classic line from the heroine in a movie or TV series I like. I think your voice is very suitable."

Adele was no longer so embarrassed after hearing this, but if she knew what kind of movie or drama this was, the innocent girl might turn into a steamy girl on the spot.

Then the lamb quickly returned to the campfire and distributed the skewers to everyone.

The Neumanns were chatting with the emperor, and they were surprised to find that the emperor was very knowledgeable about the timing of volcanic eruptions.

However, the time he mentioned was not so precise and was always mixed up with various historical events.

It was as if he had experienced that era firsthand, and when he talked about it, he discovered that it was indeed true.

Ermengarde was more interested in the Beast Master itself. The liches had tried to capture the Beast Master for research, but had not gained anything significant. They had also considered attacking the Beast Master but had given up in the end.

Late at night, Chen Xiu planned to go find Miss Lich to talk about how she felt after the effect of the medicine wore off.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Miss Wolf leaning against the side of the carriage.

"then."

The sound of the bundle cutting through the night wind was faster than her voice.

Chen Xiu barely caught the heavy object thrown to him and was surprised to find that this was the bag that Miss Wolf used to keep her money at home.

Normally it is stuffed under a broken sofa, but sometimes it is hidden somewhere else.

Texas held Pocky in his mouth and looked at the starry sky.

"Here, money for the potion."

"I said no..."

"you need to."

The Lupo girl turned her head and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Don't forget, I still have over a million dollars from the previous bandit suppression, so I'm not short of money to buy medicine."

Chen Xiu carried his bag and walked up to the stubborn Miss Wolf.

“It’s not easy for you to save some money…”

Before he could finish his words, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew past him.

Chen Xiu suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and his whole body was pressed down on the carriage by a huge force.

The legs wrapped in black stockings created a hazy outline in the backlight, and the fabric was stretched tight and straight at the round knees.

Texas suddenly raised his right leg, his flexible waist leaned forward with gravity, and his heel rested against Chen Xiu's ear.

The force of the downward chop is controlled with ease, and the almost standing split posture makes it look even more powerful.

A strong and fierce light flashed in the wolf's eyes like molten gold, and Chen Xiu's astonished face was reflected in the irises.

"Just take it when I tell you to! Do you really have to let me talk to you like this!?"

Chen Xiu still didn't react to what was happening.

Was I kicked in the leg?!

He folded his arms and hugged the black chocolate bar in front of him.

Standing on one leg inevitably makes the center of gravity unstable, and I am protecting Texas from accidentally falling.

However, what kind of mental journey led her to choose to use such a deadly move?

Could it be that she was eager to repay the favor of giving her two long swords?

After all, she is always so strong-willed.

If that's the case, it would be difficult to refuse her.

Otherwise, the relationship between the two people will only deteriorate and even become more and more distant.

"Okay." Chen Xiu chose to surrender: "But they only have the materials to make ten bottles of magic potion, so..."

"Then consider it a deposit for future payments!" Texas said calmly, "You can earn more money later if you spend it. Just take care of your health first."

Chen Xiu nodded obediently without saying a word in rebuttal.
