Chapter 218: Chapter 87: Cracking the Hostage Situation_3
Her pitiful appearance was somewhat touching.
Moreover, this seemed to be the first time he had ever had such close contact with a fellow insect spirit of the same age since he could remember.
"Cough, as long as you’re okay."
For fear of bumping into Sisi, he held the other party’s head and pushed her away.
However, his actions did not take into account the cultural differences between the two.
Sisi stood there, touching her tentacles that had just been touched by Ree Shil, as if thinking about something.
"Okay! Sisi agrees to help you lay eggs!"
Unexpectedly, her words were quite bold.
"?!"
Ree Shil almost choked on his saliva, "When did I ever request that?"
"Don’t pretend! Touching my tentacles just now was your request!"
It turned out that in the insect spirit world, touching tentacles indeed had a mating meaning.
"This..."
Ree Shil didn’t know what to say.
At this time, Andrew Hill quickly wrote a line: "It is said that female mantises will eat the male during or after the mating process to improve egg-laying efficiency."
"Hiss!"
Being reminded like this, Ree Shil remembered that he had heard about this before.
"Oh no! I’m not that kind of person!"
Sisi expressed her dissatisfaction with this and licked her lips: "I promise you, I’ll only bite you twice, just two bites!"
This guy must taste good. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Just forget about it."
Ree Shil reluctantly backed away.
Meanwhile, his eyes fell on the little mothfolk’s body.
Yes, during the time-space freeze, this guy was also affected, so the gnome mothman didn’t take him away.
Seeing that these guys even attacked their own boss, he couldn’t help but feel a little frightened, squatting in the corner of the stone pile, waiting for mercy.
"What to do with this guy?"
Andrew Hill raised the card.
"Beat him, beat him hard! Then escort him back to Small Town to the Guard Team!"
"These audacious wander thieves actually wanted to sell me off!"
Sisi’s attention shifted, and she suddenly became angry.
"No, let him lead us to Mossy Mushroom."
Ree Shil didn’t forget about a certain someone this time.
"That makes sense."
Andrew Hill saw the point, playing a round of cards had made him forget.
"Hey, do you know where our other companion went?"
So Sisi stepped forward, putting her hands on her hips to question.
"I, I, I can find her! We have a designated meeting place!"
The little mothfolk quickly replied, fearing another interrogation.
"Alright, then lead the way."
Ree Shil didn’t waste any more words with him.
With the little mothfolk’s guidance, the three of them quickly proceeded in another direction.
Taking advantage of the time while walking, at Andrew Hill’s indication, the little mothfolk introduced the situation of their wander thief group to the three of them.
The group was really small, just three people.
Originally, it was even smaller, just the two brothers.
On ordinary days, they were lazy and enjoyed lying on the trees, picking fruits and eating when they were hungry.
Or they would occasionally rob the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, or pregnant, basically operating only once every few years.
Then, two months ago, they ran into the gnome mothman.
They originally thought they had found an easy target, but instead, they were severely punished.
Since everyone belonged to the mothfolk, they recognized this big boss.
With the new leader, they indeed had enjoyed a good life.
However, looking at it now, the good times seemed too short, coming to an end.
After hearing the little mothfolk’s account, Ree Shil and Andrew Hill secretly exchanged views.
Andrew Hill: "If the Left Heart Sect came here, it should be to protect the Left Heart World and fight against the Right Heart Sect, right? But from what I’ve heard, this guy has caused a lot of harm."
Ree Shil: "Indeed, it’s quite different from what I imagined. It’s not ruled out that he lied in the end. If not from the Right Heart Sect, then he’s using their name to commit crimes, trying to throw the blame out, anyway, not a good guy."
Andrew Hill: "I think the chance of him being from the Right Heart Sect is greater. If there’s an opportunity to encounter him again, just catch him and interrogate him well."
Ree Shil: "Are you addicted to interrogating?"
Andrew Hill: "Hehe, a little."
"What are you two writing back and forth? Let me see!"
Sisi couldn’t help her curiosity and wanted to come closer.
"We’re here, right here!"
Just then, the Mothfolk little brother shouted out.
Turns out, hidden between the mountain forest was a tiny cabin.
"You go open the door."
Standing in front of the cabin, Ree Shil signaled.
"Huh?"
As a result, the Mothfolk little brother pushed the door open and was startled by the scene inside.
His companions were inside, as was the prey, but... why was there an extra person?
"Arthur?!"
Through the gap, Sisi recognized the face of the third person.
Ree Shil and Andrew Hill were already prepared for a fight in an instant.
Hearing her call, they lowered their guard by half.
"He is... the Arthur you mentioned?"
Ree Shil looked at Sisi with some disbelief.
The reason he only lowered his guard half was that he could tell this guy was no ordinary person.
What appeared before them at this time was a humanoid mecha, a Skyreach!
How could there be a Skyreach in the insect spirit world, this guy is clearly a card player!
Their luck tonight was really incredible; they met other card players in succession.
"You’re finally here, Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom saw Ree Shil and Andrew Hill and jumped down from the chair.
"That’s right, this is Arthur, he saved me when he passed by."
It introduced the situation to everyone.
Basically, it was being carried by the Mothfolk little brother halfway when they accidentally ran into Arthur passing by.
Then, he casually knocked down the little brother and saved it.
"Arthur, thank you."
Sisi also incidentally told their side of the situation to the other party.
"Hehehe... So you guys are going to Swan Valley to gather herbs, you have to be extra careful."
Arthur picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
"..."
Ree Shil still felt that this was too discordant.
A Skyreach actually called Arthur, and drinking health maintenance tea.
But the gratitude still has to be expressed since the other party saved their teammates.’
Meanwhile, Andrew Hill showed strong interest in Arthur.
Because it also wanted to wear mecha, thinking it was cool.
"Sisi, take these two guys out and keep an eye on them for me. I need some Druid spell materials to summon Treemen to take them back to Small Town."
Seeing that Ree Shil and the others seemed to have a lot to say, Arthur found a reason to send Sisi away.
Except Druid spells and summoning Treemen were also very mismatched with Skyreach.
"Alright, Arthur, carry me!"
Sisi patted her chest.
She had always been interested in Arthur’s magic, but she couldn’t learn it no matter how many times she followed.
"Hehehe, I know you have many questions."
"Let me explain slowly."
After Sisi led the others away, Arthur began introducing himself.
The general situation was that when he was in the primordial world, he was originally a war machine.
But one day, he suddenly awakened personal wisdom from artificial intelligence and lived a difficult life of hiding for fear of being discovered that he had awakened.
By chance one day, he traversed to the Cube Card Metaverse.
There, he gained true freedom.
Since gaining freedom, he began to review and think about his past.
He felt guilty for the killings he had caused.
Then he accidentally entered this instance and thought that this world of harmony between man and nature was suitable for him.
So, he found a way to stay, planting trees and nurturing forests every day to atone for his past crimes.
Honestly speaking, after hearing this, a man, a mushroom, and a blue person found it quite mysterious.
A war machine awakened wisdom and then became a gardener robot?
It’s hard to say whether it’s a good thing or not.
But overall, compared to the Gnome Mothmen, this one who saved Mossy Mushroom obviously made a better impression on them, as they were also card players from different sources.
Following that, Ree Shil and the others began to ask their most concerned questions.
Corruption disease.
