Chapter 849 The Last Quiet Night
Shao Yun's eyes fell on Dixia's arm that was constantly oozing blood, and he asked with concern: "Your arm...are you sure it's just a minor injury?"
Dixia looked down at her injured arm, smiled bitterly and replied, "It's okay, I was just bitten by those 'wolves'."
"I never thought that my name, the 'Lion with the Blazing Mane', would be ruined by a group of wolves."
Xinoning sighed and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it."
"After all, you were besieged by more than a dozen beast hounds. You had to deal with so many monsters by yourself. Just getting your arm bitten was a pretty good ending."
After hearing this, Shao Yun used a more appropriate word to describe the situation described by Xinoning and comforted Di Xia.
"A good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, that's probably what it means. Dixia, don't doubt your abilities too much."
Dixia stared at her tightly bandaged arm, feeling mixed emotions. For a moment, she didn't know how to express her feelings at the moment.
"I hope this wound won't leave a scar. Otherwise, Candice will definitely blame me again, saying that I don't know how to take care of my body..."
"I guess she'll say that she always tells me to take good care of myself, but I don't cherish myself, and then she'll drag me to take a medicinal bath..."
Shao Yun took out a small green bottle from his backpack, threw it to Di Xia, and said casually: "Here, drink this."
"It saves Candice from nagging you. But she is also worried about you. You two have such a good relationship."
Dixia took a closer look and found the bottle so familiar that she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "This...isn't it the magical potion you gave me to drink when I was in Xumi City?"
Dixia naturally knew the effects of this bottle of medicine.
So she didn't hesitate to bite open the bottle cap with her teeth and drank the medicine in the bottle in one gulp.
It is a bit bitter, but for mercenaries, the bitterness of life is much more bitter than medicine.
After watching Dixia drink the potion, Shao Yun asked with concern: "Yes, how is it? How do you feel now?"
Dixia put down the empty bottle and touched her arm. The wound began to itch and was slowly healing.
"Well, at least it doesn't hurt anymore..."
At the same time, Katsina saw that all the surrounding abyss monsters had been dealt with, so she spoke:
"Then, Sister Xinoning and I will continue to stay in Echo Sons. We are still needed to guard this place."
"I won't escort you to the Holy Fire Arena. Go for it."
Shao Yun walked up to Katsina, squatted down, reached out his hand and gently stroked the top of her head, gently admonishing:
"Then you should also pay attention to safety. If anything happens, let Xinoning take over."
Xinoning, who was not far away, was about to complain after hearing Shao Yun's words, but then he changed his mind and thought, indeed, isn't it natural for an adult to protect a child like Katsina?
After hearing Shao Yun's words, Kazina straightened up, puffed out her chest slightly, and said proudly: "After all, I am also the winner of the Return to Fire Holy Night Parade. You can't look down on me just because I'm young!"
Shao Yun looked at Kazina's confident look, reached out his hand and gently pinched Kazina's cute little face, and said earnestly:
"I know you're great, but don't push yourself."
"Besides, if you want to protect others, you must first protect yourself. Do you understand?"
Katina blinked her big eyes, looked at Shao Yun with a silly look on her face, then nodded obediently and said:
"Oh...I know. I will take good care of myself."
Marani, who was standing nearby, saw that the Sons of Echo were not in any danger, so she decided to quickly return to the Flowing Spring Tribe.
Malani walked up to Katsina and said with concern: "Katsina, you must be careful..."
Katsina nodded quickly and responded, "Don't worry, Malani, I will be careful."
Malani felt a little relieved. She turned to look at Shao Yun and said:
"Then I have to go back to the Flowing Springs too. Just like you said, the Flowing Springs may also be attacked by the Abyss. I have to go back and check the situation."
With that, Maranie pulled out her Shark Surfboard and prepared to set off immediately.
Shao Yun watched Maranie leave and said, "Be careful on the road, Maranie."
Maranie stepped onto the Shark Surfboard, waved her hand coolly, and said, "Don't worry! Bye."
……
After Marani left, Shao Yun escorted Dishia and the caravan that came to Nata to do business, and they set out for the Holy Fire Arena together.
At this time, night had fallen, and a bright moon hung in the sky, emitting soft light, and a layer of silver gauze covered the land of Nata.
I guess this will be the most peaceful night for a long time.
Shao Yun rode on Boadicea's horse, his eyes falling on Dishiya sitting on the Sumeru camel from time to time.
The two chatted incessantly.
Shao Yun suddenly asked, "Dixia, how have you been lately?"
Upon hearing this, Dixia smiled brightly and replied:
"My life lately? Haha, it's still the same as always. Every day I lead the mercenaries and take on some commissions to escort caravans. Although it's a bit busy, it's still quite fulfilling."
Then, Dishia's topic naturally turned to Candice.
"As for Candice, she is still the same. She patrols the village every day to ensure the safety of the village. She is a very responsible person!"
Finally, Dixia's topic fell on Jade again.
"And there's Jade. She's always been worried about you, as well as Ying, Paimon, and the safety of your daughter."
When Shao Yun saw Di Xia talking about Jade, he felt somewhat relieved that she didn't come along.
"I am indeed relieved to see that she didn't come. After all, Nata is in a mess right now, and the Abyss is about to launch a massive attack."
Dixia sighed. She had just realized that the abyss monsters that launched surprise attacks were more numerous than the mushroom beasts she had seen in Xumi...
Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor now. After all, the time has not yet come when there are more abyss monsters in Nata than Sumeru mushroom beasts.
"Yes, Jade originally planned to come to Xumi with me, but Candice strongly disagreed. Candice even locked her in the house and didn't allow her to take any risks."
"I didn't expect that Candice's worries would come true..." Dishia said to herself.
Shao Yun, who was standing by, reminded her for safety reasons: "Dixia, after you finish delivering the goods, you must leave Nata as soon as possible."
"The situation here is getting increasingly tense. We might even end up killing people. Don't lose your life here!"
Dixia nodded. She had originally planned to stop at the Holy Fire Arena for a while, drink a couple of glasses of wine, and relax.
"Okay, I got it. After unloading this batch of goods, I will immediately set off back to Xumi." Dixia said decisively.
……
When Shao Yun returned to the Holy Fire Arena, it was already late.
Dixia commanded a group of mercenaries to unload the goods from the truck according to the employer's requirements.
Most of these goods are herbal medicines from Xumi, which can treat injuries and sprains, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
When Shao Yun rushed back to the meeting place and prepared to report the completion of the mission to Mavica, he saw Mavica talking with the Fatui executive "Captain".
"Captain, you're here?" Shao Yun whistled and said without much emotion. "It seems that you should be clear about the situation now."
When Captain "Capitano" saw Shao Yun coming, he briefly explained the reason for his visit.
"That's right. It's been less than half a day, and these abyss monsters have already attacked many places."
"But fortunately, my men were prepared and took timely countermeasures."
Mavica interrupted, “Now, the six major tribes have repelled these abyss monsters that suddenly appeared.”
"But this is only temporary. It is clear that the power of the Abyss is growing stronger. A massive invasion of Nata will probably happen tomorrow."
Mavica then turned around and thanked Capitano.
"I heard from the messenger that your people rescued many unprepared novice adventurers and caravan members in the wild. Thank you very much."
Capitano waved his hand and said calmly: "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
"It is my duty to protect innocent people from the abyss."
Then, Capitano asked Mavica another question.
"But I want to ask, Mavica, what exactly is your Six Heroes Plan? Can you tell me a little bit about it? I haven't had time to ask you in detail until now."
When Mavica heard Capitano's question, her eyes became focused and she explained the complicated plan in the simplest terms.
"In simple terms, this plan is to use the power of the six tribal heroes to liberate the power that the first God of Fire, 'Xibarak', obtained from 'Ruler of Death' Ronawa."
"Only in this way can we hope to overcome the unfathomable abyss."
After listening to Mavica's explanation, Capitano nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself.
"Oh, I see... Shibarak... The Reign of Death..."
Mavica put her hands on her hips and muttered seriously:
"The Abyss is a cunning and formidable opponent! It sensed that we were about to succeed, so it could not wait to launch a large-scale attack."
"This feeling of being seen through is really annoying..."
Knowing that you are being one-way transparent, but not being able to counter it, it makes me angry just thinking about it...
Seeing this, Shao Yun on the side hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Mavica. We will definitely be able to defeat the abyss. Have faith!"
"You now have the help of the Fatui, the First Captain of the Fatui Executive, as well as me and the united people of Nata. Don't worry."
Seeing how confident Shao Yun was, Mavica's worries were slightly alleviated.
The war is approaching, confidence is very important!
She smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good words! I hope everything will go as we wish."
