"Hello, Mr. Carter."

Rhode raised his head, greeted the man in front of him, and smiled.

"Thank you for helping me."

"No need to pay attention to it."

He is strong, tall, and his long bright red hair is combed backward in a mess. Judging from his physical characteristics, he should be a Lycart native born in the northwest sand. Two long swords, one long and one short, were quietly hung on both sides of his waist. The perseverance and scrutiny revealed on his clear-edged face can prove that this man is not an ordinary person.

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

If you look at it from the surface alone, it is easy to think of him as a ignorant noble child. No wonder, his thin body, pale skin, and his face that looks a bit like a woman and this outfit, he doesn't look like an adventurer who goes out for adventure, but more like those rich second generations who pursue excitement all day long and are bored and come out for fun.

But Carter thought that this young man seemed not that simple. The reason was the strange and mysterious magic circle on the back of his right hand. As a spiritual master, Lijie could feel the magic power from it, which means that it was not a bad guy. However, with Carter's experience for so many years, he rarely saw anyone directly engraving the magic circle on his body. It can be seen that the identity of this young man is not simple. Moreover, from the previous brief conversation, Carter realized that the young man's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, that is, he was not arrogant, nor humble, and his expression was very calm. Lijie said that it took him more than ten minutes to wake up from a coma and could actually grasp his current situation so calmly. In this regard, he was much better than the arrogant noble children who were ignorant.

"I heard that you are from Dongfangshanhara?"

"Yes."

Rhode nodded lightly.

"So, where are you going?"

“I’m just traveling around.”

Rhode shrugged.

"I am an adventurer, and my life is my life freely. Of course, please rest assured that I will not cause any trouble for you."

"That's fine."

Since Rhodes is so good, Carter is not saying anything more. They are still carrying out missions, so naturally they don’t want to create new things. So after chatting a few more words to help him recover from his injuries, Carter did not say anything more and quickly said goodbye and left. After all, as the leader of the mercenary regiment, he still has a lot to do, and it is impossible for him to always waste time here.

The following time was quite dull for Rhodes, but the food Lijie brought him a little interested. Although it was just ordinary white bread and jerky, and Rhodes had eaten it many times in the game, it was all "fake eating". It only restored the character's life and soul power, and it had no taste and could not fill his stomach. Now he finally felt the description of the taste of white bread and jerky in the food notes, which was a fresh experience.

But I have to say that the taste is not as good as the one described in the comments.

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

Sitting beside Rhodes, the blonde girl stared at the young man in front of her with a worried and serious expression, and a slightly worried look fell on his shoulder, feeling a little reluctant.

"It's okay now."

Rhode said, shaking his left hand at the same time. The pain from his sternum was not as strong as it was at the beginning. At the beginning, he even felt a little difficult to breathe, but now he has recovered a lot.

"That's fine."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Lijie's originally nervous expression became much more relaxed.

"But you still have to rest more. When we arrive at Deep Rock City, the conditions there will be much better. Maybe your injuries will be healed soon."

The girl's expression was very serious. Although the person lying in front of her was just a stranger she had just met, she obviously didn't care about this kind of thought.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

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

"So………"

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

The girl's figure shook and almost fell on the bed. Fortunately, she reached out to her hand at the last moment and helped her out of the bed, and then she barely stabilized. The two looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Although floating ships are ships that move with the powerful wind power of the wind, and the sky is not like the ocean and has no reef vortex, it is not necessarily without danger. The current situation is obviously not normal.

"I'll go and have a look. You can rest here with peace of mind."

After Lijie finished speaking in a low voice, she immediately turned around and left, closed the door, and looked at her back, Rhode opened his mouth with a sense of laughter and cry, but said nothing. No matter how she looked, she was older than her, was it necessary to talk to herself in such a tone of coaxing a child?

But the next moment, a figure flying past the window made Rhode's expression instantly become serious.

He turned his head slightly and stared carefully outside the string window. Soon, three or four green figures flashed past outside, and at the same time, a series of low sounds seemed to appear as if nothing had happened.

"Hiss—"

When Rhodes heard this voice, he felt a deep heart.

They are in big trouble!

At this moment, the deck was already in chaos.

"I really didn't expect that we would encounter this group of damn things."

The red-haired mercenary commander holding two swords stood in front, looking at the green figures flying around the floating ship with a serious expression. Their appearance looked like snakes with bat wings, about one meter long. Although their slightly thin body gave people a feeling of being weak, the sharp fangs exposed from the wide open mouth could overturn this conclusion in the shortest time.

Wind snake.

"It seems like we have entered the territory of the Wind Snake."

The fat businessman hid next to the mercenary commander, with a pale face, and rubbed the sweat beads on his forehead with a handkerchief.

"It's so damn, that cunning Bick, I knew, I knew that the bastard was willing to point me such a channel but would have to have a problem with that little money! This is murder! When I go back, I must let him know how powerful I am!!"

"Let's talk about it when we get out of the encirclement first!"

Carter interrupted the fat merchant's almost hysterical roar. Looking around, there were hundreds of wind snakes surrounding the merchant ship. At the beginning, he could also order his subordinates to use crossbows to attack and try to scare away the monsters. However, the wind snake's spirit of "seeing death as if it were home" was indeed beyond his imagination, or the death of his companions stimulated the ferociousness of these monsters. At this moment, they had occupied the outside of the deck and began to penetrate inward. The mercenaries had already thrown away the crossbows in their hands, waving their weapons to start fighting with each other in close combat.

"Hide inside and tell the captain that we will leave here as soon as possible!"

Carter pushed the fat merchant into the captain's room behind him with his backhand. Then he took two steps forward, swinging snow lights with his hands, and chopped a roaring wind snake to the ground, but soon, the second one rushed up again.

Too few people!

Carter couldn't help frowning. He swept over the deck. He only brought six people on this mission, and only these six people were left. Although the merchant ship itself also had guards, they did not have enough experience. In fact, in the first wave of attacks, the merchant ship's guards fell down one-third, and only half of them were left. Seeing their panic, they probably couldn't support them for too long. Looking at the terrifying monsters, Carter's face was solemn.

He was not without experience in facing the wind snake, but it was the first time he faced such a number, which made Carter feel a little nervous. He took the front half step again, and his body flexibly turned half a circle. Then he slashed the side with his hands and slashed heavily on the wind snake. Against the backdrop of the splashing blood, the wounded wind snake fell heavily to the ground. After making a few unwilling roars, it turned into a cold corpse.

Carter raised his head and subconsciously glanced around, then his heart suddenly jumped.

"Lijie! Beware!!"

The girl didn't react immediately.

She had just recovered her hands after healing the toxin damage for a mercenary. Due to excessive consumption, the girl's mind was still a little dazed. Although she had only been on the deck for a few minutes, she had already connected several people to be injured. As the only spiritual master with healing power among them, Lijie naturally took responsibility unswervingly.

After hearing Carter's warning, the girl turned around in a daze.

Then, what she saw was a big mouth with sharp poisonous fangs exposed.

At that moment, the girl's blood was condensed. She stared blankly at the wind snake in front of her, her brain was blank, and she had no idea how to react. In her eyes, Lijie could clearly see the sharp, cold fangs, the flesh-colored inner wall, and even the fishy smell was so clear and audible.

And at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed Lijie's collar, and pulled her away at the critical moment.
Chapter completed!
