"Brother, let me help you!"
The girl yelled and rushed forward to fight alongside Tucker.
Kermir looked at her and was extremely disappointed. This little girl was probably only good at scouting and her combat ability was extremely poor. She went over there and only dragged Tucker down. In order to protect her, Tucker took a claw for the first time.
Her only effect was to ignite Tucker's fighting spirit. With a battle roar, he swung his spear wildly, unleashing a special spear technique that struck the horned wolf squarely, severely injuring it.
He then finished off the horned wolf with a fancy spear move.
"Brother, you're hurt..."
Tana ignored the horned wolf and hurriedly took out a healing potion from her storage bag, about to open it, but her hand was forcefully pressed down by Tucker.
Tana looked up and met Tucker's angry gaze.
"We agreed before we set off that you were only responsible for reading the map, finding your way, and hiding when you encountered monsters. Why are you so disobedient! Go back, I don't want to take you with me anymore, let's go home!"
Tana shrank back, frightened by the rebuke, tears welling in her eyes. She lowered her head and continued trying to open the healing potion, repeating softly, "Brother, you're hurt. It looks like it hurts so much..."
Her hand was held down again.
"Didn't I tell you? There's no healer in our team, so we have to use every healing potion sparingly. Now you're wasting resources without even seeing a stalker of the wild bear. Are you stupid? I told you you're not cut out to be an explorer."
Not knowing what to say, Tana's hand, which was trying to open the healing potion, was held down again, so she could only sob helplessly.
Kermir was dumbfounded.
What kind of love triangle are these two idiots putting on?
That injury wasn't minor, but it certainly wasn't a serious one either. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss about it? Couldn't you focus a little more on the fight?
The lack of a healer wasn't a big problem; it was just a matter of healing potions. Lei Ye had a whole bunch stored in his storage bag. Kemiron casually pulled out a bottle of potion and approached Tucker, trying to stop the two of them from putting on their silly little show.
"I'll pay for the treatment..."
The next second, the leader of the Silver Spear Squad jumped in front of her, spreading her arms wide to block her.
"Look at the atmosphere, my friend!" she shouted.
"Wait...aren't these two siblings? Besides, we're doing serious business, why are you making such a fuss?"
Kermione is going to be miserable.
She always felt that she couldn't understand what was going on with Hillius and his group.
No matter how much they emphasize that this is serious business, there's just no sense of seriousness; something magical always manages to disrupt the situation.
She took a deep breath and earnestly tried to enlighten these people.
"Our current actions... are preparations for a trip to the Scorched Earth, not a joke. I hope you can put aside your romantic feelings and focus your energy on important matters, okay, friends?"
Others gradually gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.
"This is a major life event for them, how can it not be a proper matter?"
"Boss Lei, stop pretending. You've been secretly observing this couple for a long time, haven't you? Let me tell you the truth, whether they make it work or not depends on this trip. You'll see how their story ends soon."
"That's right, just don't go and cause trouble."
"Disrupt? Me??" Kermiren laughed in exasperation. "Let me explain. They're siblings, and siblings aren't allowed to fall in love. Even if they force themselves to be together, their offspring will either die young or be deformed. There's only a five percent chance of having a normal child. You're teammates, right? If you really care about that person, you should stop them right away!"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, and their expressions turned somewhat strange when they looked at Kermione.
"...Didn't I tell you this once? Never mind, it won't hurt to tell you again. A couple of years ago, Tucker's mother died. Before she died, she told Tucker that Tana wasn't actually his biological sister. She was adopted when she was very young, and the two of them weren't related by blood."
"ah..."
"So, Tuck, who had secretly liked Tana, chose to give up after learning that the two were not actually related by blood."
"ah...?"
"Poor Tana doesn't know about this yet. All she knows is that her brother suddenly started distancing himself from her. The poor girl has been heartbroken for a long time, and only recently has she cheered up a little and decided to join this team as an explorer, thinking that this way she can go back to her brother's side. But you see, Tucker will use this attitude to provoke her to leave, while Tana will absolutely not leave. Isn't the interaction between these two so sweet?"
"You love your mom? I've never seen anyone like that in humans before! Please stop talking, I don't understand!"
"Boss Lei, you're the strange one. When we were talking about this before, you said that you would definitely invite her to watch the excitement when she confessed her feelings. But when I actually invited you, you weren't happy. Anyway, just don't cause trouble. Who knows when the girl will confess her feelings? It's a lot of hard-earned courage for her, so please don't ruin it."
After saying that, they ignored Kermiren and started talking amongst themselves about more interesting things about the two of them. Watching this, Kermiren felt a sense of helplessness.
For some reason, she thought of her deceased friend again.
In just two days, her worldview had already been greatly shaken. During the five years in this city, Kebo Rose must have lived a hellish life, and even had to endure sexual abuse from this guy named Raino.
She no longer dared to be complacent because of the strength of her body and the incredible power of her skills. She felt as if she were walking on thin ice, unsure if she could even reach the scorched earth.
In the midst of the chaos, the Silver Spear Squad discovered bear paw prints on the ground, determining the direction of the wild bear. Just then, the sweet nothings between the Tark siblings ended, and the Silver Spear Squad handed over the task of finding the wild bear to Tana.
It's already been found...
Now Kermira could see Tana's clumsiness; she was practically guessing. If it weren't for the older sister in the group giving her almost a helpful hint, she wouldn't have been able to find the right way even if she had a whole day.
Doesn't he look like a complete newbie?
So the reason she found her way so easily before was because of that little thing called a compass?
Wait a minute, thinking about it now, that thing suddenly looks familiar.
Kermiren rummaged through her storage bag and discovered that there were more storage bags inside. As she searched, she found the same item in a cargo storage bag, and there were hundreds of these items in that bag.
It turns out they got their goods from here.
What use is she then?
But Kermira had learned her lesson and didn't question things out of turn this time. At least she found the right direction in the end, didn't she? The next enemy was a pack of wild bears, and the Silver Spear Squad would definitely take action. Even if Tana, that useless scout, wasn't of any use to her Scorched Earth mission, she still needed these people.
but...
"You guys are really, really coming with me to the scorched earth tomorrow, right?"
"Of course."
Wild bear!
After a professional search, the location of the group of bears was quickly pinpointed.
From their conversation, they learned that there were no tricks to dealing with monsters like the Savage Bear. Once you find enough traces to prove that it is nearby, you will also enter its olfactory range, and what follows will definitely be a head-on confrontation.
The Silver Wolf Squad was fully armed.
Even Loya tensed up.
Kermir finally sensed a serious atmosphere, adjusted his mindset, and followed the Silver Wolf Squad through the dense forest.
"Although the bears are social monsters, they will disperse according to their social distance once they find a place to settle down," the eldest sister said. "So at first we will only face one or two. As long as we can kill them as quickly as possible, their kind will not have time to come to our aid. In order to ensure the success of this expedition, I hope that you, the strongest one, will take the lead."
"..OK."
Kermir accepted the arrangement; there was nothing to say about it. Before setting off, she knew she would have to fight, as this was her weakest point. Considering the end of this mission, she had to overcome her weakness no matter what.
Just as the eldest sister had predicted, as they crossed a hill, two wild bears were sniffing the air and approaching. The moment their eyes met, the two bears roared and pounced on Kermiron like chariots.
"Rayno, it's up to you now!"
very scary!
But we can't run away, we can't run away!
Kermir took a deep breath, casually took out a weapon from his storage bag, and charged towards the wild bear.
It's still so scary!
She closed her eyes, let out a shout, and swung her long sword down with force.
The blade first severed the bear's heavy claws as it swung out, then struck the bear's head, slicing through the bear's skin and massive skull like cutting water, splitting it in two.
A single, effortless strike, devoid of any skill, relying solely on sheer force.
However, with her eyes closed, she couldn't see the other bear rushing towards her from the side, and she was knocked down.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the gaping maw of a wild bear, spewing out a hot, foul stench from that terrifying mouth.
"Aaaaaaah!" Kermione screamed in terror.
Fortunately, the Silver Spear Squad members didn't just stand by and watch this time. They rushed up and stabbed and slashed, and although it wasn't as effective as Kermir's slash, they managed to take it down.
In those nearly ten seconds, Kermir was struck by the enraged bear's claws many times, the pain making her want to cry.
"Rayno! Why didn't you dodge!"
The older sister frantically pulled her from under the bear's carcass and checked her wounds.
"...Huh? You're not injured? That scared me to death! I saw a lot of blood gushing out of your body. It was the blood of the Savage Bear. I knew it! How could a man who can kill the filthy creature alone be injured by such a monster? Come on, let me help you up."
"Ouch... Waaah... It hurts so much..."
"Hey, is that really Rai Ye? You're acting like a girl."
"6
'
Kermione couldn't hold back her sobs.
She used to envy her peers who were very capable fighters, able to kill people everywhere and look very impressive. They basically didn't need to use their brains, only their hands. As the weakest of them, she could only provide them with various intelligence, which meant she had to consider many things. Every day was exhausting, and she even had to build an underground storage room to relieve her stress.
Now she only felt admiration. How terrifying it was to fight! A living being with the will to kill you charged at you, and Kermir didn't even dare to open her eyes.
"Another savage bear is approaching, Raino!"
"what?"
Kermione turned his head.
"what!"
Then we saw two more wild bears running towards us.
The target, of course, was her, who was covered in a strong smell of blood.
Terrified, she gripped the long knife tightly and swung it wildly. Her eyes were still closed, and she could see nothing. She could only feel warm liquid spraying onto her face and something heavy being cut off and falling down, hitting her feet.
Not far away, the Silver Spear Squad cheered, encouraging her.
She imitated the shouts of those people, wildly waving her long knife like a tortoise performing a boxing routine.
Unfortunately, this attack method inevitably leaves blind spots. Just like before, a savage bear circled around behind Kermir, pounced on her, and viciously tore at her.
"I'm starving!!"
Amidst screams, the Silver Spear Squad rushed over to finish the job, and the eldest sister pulled Kermiron out again, this time with an even harsher tone.
"Hey, I'm not trying to be mean, but you should at least dodge it! Why are you acting like a greenhorn? I was there when you fought Cepolis that day, and you seemed so experienced then! Tana, hurry up and get me the healing potion! Eh... Tana, no need!"
As she spoke, the older sister tore at Clement's shirt and groped her back and chest.
Then praise.
"Such incredible recovery! Did you drink some expensive medicine beforehand or something? I can't even see the wound!"
"It hurts...don't take my clothes off..."
"What are you hiding? Let me check you out. You're a grown man, are you afraid of a woman in her thirties looking at your upper body?"
"no..."
Kermione thought to herself, "It's fine for you to touch, but why are these guys so interested in touching me?"
The older sister, oblivious to her embarrassed expression, earnestly reminded her.
"I know you've been very sad lately, but please don't become some kind of weird person. I had a friend who suffered a major psychological trauma and became more and more effeminate. Eventually, he developed an abnormal gender identity and drank a gender-changing drug to become a woman. For a period of time after that, he suffered a lot of criticism. Sigh, even now, thinking back to that time, it still feels very difficult."
Your expression at the end clearly showed you were reminiscing about the past... You're not talking about yourself, are you? Sister, please don't do that, it scares me.
However, those words did hit the nail on the head.
Kermir has long since abandoned her original body, so her gender can only be determined by her own perception.
Looking back on her missions, she only enjoyed the pleasure of having a body swap with a man and then taking advantage of his decadent relationships. But once she swapped bodies with a woman, she was like a germaphobe, unable to accept that the person who had a close relationship with that woman treated her in any way. However, she often had no choice but to accept it for the sake of the mission.
Could it be that her heart has already...?
No... judging from her unwillingness to be touched by these men, she still has the heart of a woman.
Thinking of this, Kermione breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little grateful to her older sister. The people in this city were a bit strange, but they were quite friendly and cared about the people around them.
"Does it still hurt?"
"...Much better, I've recovered."
"Then I can rest assured. Did you feel the tremor? More bears are approaching. Grip your weapons tightly and watch their trajectory. This time, you must dodge them carefully."
"OK."
Thanks to this little incident, Kermir felt a little better and thought that this time she might be able to fight with her eyes open.
She took deep breaths and encouraged herself.
Behind her were her friends cheering her on.
Um...?
Looking back, everyone in the Silver Spear Squad, except for the Tucker siblings who were chatting on the side, had taken a few steps back as if to give her enough room to perform, and were cheering and waving their fists in support of her.
