"Hello, Mr. Carter."

Rod looked up, greeted the man in front of him, and smiled.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue."

"Don't worry about it."

Sturdy and tall, with long bright red hair combed back a little messy, judging from his physical characteristics, he should be a Laichat born in the sandy northwest. Two long swords, one long and one short, hung quietly on both sides of his waist, and the perseverance and scrutiny revealed on the angular face could prove that this man was not an ordinary person.

While Rhodes was observing the other party, Carter was also quietly looking at the man in front of him.

If you look at it on the surface, it is easy to think that he is the kind of aristocratic child who does not learn and has no skills, and it is no wonder that looking at his thin figure, pale skin, coupled with that long face and this costume, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like an adventurer who goes out on adventures, but more like those rich second generations who pursue excitement all day long, and are bored to play.

But Carter thinks that this young man does not seem to be so simple, and the reason for this is the strange and mysterious magic circle on the back of his right hand. As a spirit master, Lijie could feel the magic power from there, which meant that it was not an impostor, but with Carter's experience over the years, he had rarely seen anyone directly engrave the magic array on his body. It can be seen that the identity of this young man is not simple. And from the brief conversation before, Carter noticed that the young man's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, that is, neither arrogant nor condescending, and his expression was very calm. Listening to Lijie, it only took him ten minutes to wake up from the coma, and he was able to grasp his current situation so calmly and calmly, just in this regard, he was much better than those arrogant aristocratic children who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

"I heard, you're from the Eastern Mountains?"

"Yes."

Rod nodded.

"So, where are you going?"

"I'm just traveling around."

Rod shrugged.

"I'm an adventurer, and it's my life to be free to venture around. Of course, don't worry, I'm not going to cause you any trouble. ”

"That's fine."

Since Rhodes is so good, then Carter doesn't say much, they are still on a mission, and naturally they don't want to make something new. So after a few more words of chatting to let him recuperate from his injuries at ease, Carter didn't say anything more, and quickly left, after all, he still had a lot to do as a mercenary leader, and it was impossible to waste time here all the time.

The next time was also dull for Rod, but the food that Lijie brought up made him a little interested, although it was just ordinary white bread and jerky, and Rod had eaten it many times in the game, but it was all "fake food", only the effect of restoring the character's life and soul power, there was no taste at all, and it couldn't fill the stomach. Now that he has finally experienced the taste description of white bread and jerky in the food notes, it is a fresh experience.

But I have to say that the taste is really not as good as described in the commentary.

"How does it feel? Does the wound still hurt? ”

Sitting beside Rod, the blonde girl looked at the young man in front of her with a worried and serious expression, and her eyes fell on his shoulder with a slight trace of worry, a little unbearable.

"It's okay now."

Rod said, shaking his left hand at the same time, the pain from the sternum was not as strong as it was at the beginning, at first, he even felt a little difficult to breathe, but now it is much better.

"That's fine."

Hearing Rod's answer, Lijie's expression, which was still a little nervous, became much more relaxed.

"But you still have to rest more, when we get to Deep Rock City, the conditions there will be much better, maybe your injuries will heal sooner."

The girl's expression was very serious, although the person lying in front of her was just a stranger she had just met, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that she didn't care about this kind of subsection.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do."

As she spoke, Lijie stood up, her golden, fluffy ponytail swaying on both sides along with her movements, giving people a playful and lively feeling. …,

"So ........."

Lijie didn't finish her words, because at this moment, the hull of the ship shook suddenly.

The girl's body shook and almost fell on the bed, but fortunately she reached out at the last moment and helped out the head of the bed, which was stable. The two glanced at each other, and each saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Although a floating ship is a ship that moves with the help of the strong wind of the wind tide, and the sky is not like the ocean, there are no reef whirlpools, but it is not necessarily without danger. The current situation is clearly not normal.

"I'll take a look, you can rest in peace here, don't worry."

Lijie whispered, then immediately turned to leave, closed the door, and looked at her back, Rod opened his mouth in tears, but said nothing. No matter how you look at it, you're older than her, is it necessary to talk to yourself in this childlike tone?

But the next moment, a figure flying by outside the window made Rod's face instantly become serious.

He turned his head slightly, staring carefully out of the window. Soon, three or four more green figures flew by outside, and at the same time, a low chirp seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Shhhh

Hearing this voice, Rod's heart sank.

They're in big trouble!

And at this moment, there was already chaos on the deck.

"I didn't expect to run into this bunch of damn things."

The red-haired, sword-wielding mercenary leader stood at the front, looking at the green figures flying around the floating ship with a serious face. They look like snakes with bat's wings, about a meter long, and although their slightly emaciated bodies give a sense of weakness, the sharp fangs that emerge from the gaping jaws can overturn this conclusion in the shortest possible time.

Wind Snake.

"Looks like we've broken into the territory of the Wind Serpent."

The fat merchant hid next to the mercenary leader, his face pale, and he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Damn it, that cunning Vic, I know that there must be a problem with that bastard who is willing to show me such a channel with so little money! It's murder! When I go back, I must let him know how good I am!! ”

"Let's wait until we get out of the encirclement first!"

Carter interrupted the fat merchant's almost hysterical roar, and as far as he could see, there were hundreds of wind snakes surrounding the merchant ships, and at first, he could order his men to attack with crossbows and crossbows in an attempt to scare off the monsters. But the spirit of the Wind Serpent "seeing death as home" was really beyond his imagination, or the death of his companions had only inspired the ferocity of these monsters, and at this moment they had occupied the outer side of the deck and began to burst inward. The mercenaries had already thrown away their bows and crossbows, brandished their weapons and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with each other.

"You go inside and tell the captain that we're going to get out of here as soon as possible!"

Carter backhanded the fat merchant into the captain's room behind him, and then he took two steps forward, his sword in both hands swinging flakes of snow, slashing a roaring wind snake to the ground, but soon, the second one rushed up again.

There are too few people!

Carter couldn't help frowning, he swept the deck, he only brought six people with him on this mission, and only these six people remained, although the merchant ship itself also had guards, but their experience was not enough, in fact, in the first wave of attacks, the merchant ship's escort fell by a third, and now only half of the men are left, looking at their panicked appearance, I am afraid they will not be able to support it for too long. Looking at those terrible monsters, Carter's face was solemn.

It wasn't that he had no experience with Wind Snakes, but it was the first time he had faced such a large number, which made Carter feel a little nervous. He stepped forward half a step again, his body flexibly rotated in a half circle, and then the two-handed sword slashed to the side, slashing heavily at the body of the wind snake, and under the background of the splashed blood, the injured wind snake fell heavily to the ground, and after a few unwilling roars, it turned into a cold corpse.

Carter looked up, glanced around subconsciously, and then, his heart pounded.

"Lijie! Watch out!! ”

The girl didn't react immediately.

She had just withdrawn her hands after treating the toxin injury for a mercenary, because of excessive consumption, the girl's mind was still a little trance——— although she had only rushed to the deck for a few minutes, but several people had already been injured, as the only spirit master with healing power, Li Jie naturally took responsibility.

After hearing Carter's warning, the girl turned back blankly.

Then, all she saw was a gaping mouth with sharp fangs.

At that moment, the girl's blood was congealed, and she stared blankly at the wind snake in front of her, her brain was blank, and she didn't know how to react at all. In her eyes, Lijie could clearly see the sharp, shining fangs, as well as the flesh-colored inner walls, and even the fishy smell was so clearly audible.

And at that moment, a hand suddenly reached from behind, grabbed Lijie by the collar, and pulled her away at the last moment.
