my pokemon player.

The voices of Monroe and others echoed in the woods, startling a few Bobos. They flapped their wings and flew into the air, looking at the humans below with vigilance and curiosity.

When Li Xiang heard Monroe and others' declaration of allegiance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What are you yelling so loudly for?

Karina is still standing next to me, you should say this to her!

Li Xiang subconsciously glanced at Karina beside him out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see how she would react.

As luck would have it, Karina was also looking at him at this moment, and their eyes met.

When their eyes met, Li Xiang's heart tightened, fearing that Karina might notice something. He immediately wanted to look away and pretend nothing had happened.

But Karina's reaction completely stunned him. There was not a trace of fear or dissatisfaction of being spied on in her eyes. Instead, she was filled with appreciation and smiles.

Her eyes were fixed on Li Xiang, and the corners of her lips curved upward. Now she had only one thought in her mind:
The way Xiao Yuer gives orders and takes control of the situation looks even more handsome than usual!
Li Xiang saw Karina's tender eyes and suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary.

This charming and decisive priestess seemed to be seduced by him... ahem, seemed to have become a love-brained person.

Not to mention that Monroe and others only paid lip service to their loyalty, even if they only obeyed Li Xiang's orders, Karina would probably not mind at all, and would even praise them for doing a good job.

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little nervous.

Everyone says that being in love is not desirable, but when the object of your love is yourself, will you still dislike the other person?

Anyway, Li Xiang only felt warm in his heart, and his eyes looking at Karina became much softer.

But one thing is for sure, no matter how good Karina is to him, he will beat her up in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang forced himself to calm his inner excitement, looked directly into Karina's eyes and said:

"Lady Karina"

Karina frowned, "Hmm?"

"Uh, Karina?" Li Xiang immediately changed his words.

"Hmm~" Karina's brows relaxed instantly and she nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xiang continued, "Karina, do you have any other instructions?"

Karina thought for a moment, then said, "Since we are going back to the Shadow Church, we must first come up with a unified statement to avoid revealing any flaws in front of Guardian Ram."

"But before that, we still have to make sure there are no other trial-takers on the island and completely eliminate the hidden dangers!"

Li Xiang opened his mouth to say something when he heard this, but was interrupted by Karina.

"I know what you want to say. Viscount Ryan has sent two young nobles to look for it, but I don't trust them. No one can guarantee that they are not pretending to obey but actually disobeying their orders."

When Li Xiang heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He thought that even if Hao Ren and the others had ten courages, they would not dare to disobey Lord Ryan's orders.

Moreover, the trial-takers on the island are experience packs for the players, so they will definitely search them carefully and almost no one will slip through the net.

Of course, he could only say these words in his heart, and on the surface he still expressed his approval of Karina.

"Your concerns are not unfounded. We should indeed search the island again, but..."

Li Xiang changed the subject, showing a hesitant expression on his face: "The area of ​​this Blood Prison Island is not small, and there are many magical beasts on the island. The difficulty of searching is not low."

"Plus, all of Monroe and the others' magical beasts were released by Viscount Ryan. They will probably be unable to move an inch on the island, let alone find those trial participants."

When Monroe and others heard what Li Xiang said, they all nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, Master Dark Guard is right!"

"Please think twice, Master Priest. If we go to the island now, we will die!"

"Even if we find the trial-taker, we won't be able to defeat him!"

"Tsk, what are you talking about? If we lose the magic beast, will we become useless?"

"Then go to the island and find those trial participants. We will support you!"

"Ahem, actually there's nothing wrong with being a waste. I am a waste~"

Li Xiang couldn't help but complain in his heart when he saw that Monroe and others couldn't wait to echo his concerns as soon as he expressed them.

"No, you are roasting me on the fire, aren't you?"

"Other people are ignorant, Monroe, what's that look in your eyes? Are you admiring me for sidelining Karina?"

"Okay, okay, luckily this isn't the real world, otherwise you would have taken out a yellow robe and put it on me the next second."

"If Karina wasn't a love-brained person who wanted me to take power, I would have been killed by you guys long ago!"

Li Xiang shook his head helplessly, and then shouted loudly:
"Silence! I am discussing something with the High Priest. Who allowed you to interrupt?"

"You are a bunch of unruly fools. Why don't you apologize to the High Priest?"

Monroe and others also reacted after hearing this. Before Li Xiang replaced Karina, Karina could still control their life and death.

So they knelt on the ground in panic and pleaded in unison: "Please forgive me, Master Priest!"

Karina ignored Monroe and others, but turned to look at Li Xiang, her eyes full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"What did you call me? Master Priest?"

The expression on Li Xiang's face froze instantly, and the desire to complain that he had just suppressed surged up again.

"As a priest, you are not worried about me taking your power, but you are fussing about a title? Is this unreasonable?"

"What? Is this what love-brained people do?"

"That's fine~"

He pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile and explained: "In front of them, we have to follow some rules. In private..."

Before Li Xiang could finish his words, he was blocked by Karina's even more aggrieved look.

"What rules? My rules are the rules here!" Karina said arrogantly.

Li Xiang sighed secretly and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, okay, from now on, no matter who I'm in front of, I'll call you Karina."

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

Karina snorted, then turned to look at Monroe and the others. Her eyes suddenly became indifferent, and her tone was a little cold.

"Xiao Yu'er is right, you guys are becoming more and more unruly!"

Upon hearing this, Monroe and others lowered their heads even lower, fearing that they would be punished by Karina.

"Be thankful. If you weren't still useful to Xiao Yu'er, I would have gotten rid of you long ago."

Looking at Monroe and the others who were trembling, Karina curled her lips in disdain:

"But you are absolutely right in saying one thing. Without the magic beasts, you are all useless!"

"You should know what happens to trash in the Shadow Church, right? The best outcome is to be used as a sacrifice!"

When these members heard the undisguised murderous intent in Karina's words, their bodies trembled violently.

They ignored Karina's power and looked up at Li Xiang for help. Li Xiang nodded slightly to them, indicating that he would speak for them.

Seeing this, the members finally felt relieved and a hint of gratitude flashed in their eyes.

Li Xiang took in all their reactions. It seemed that the loyalty of these members would be increased a little.

He knew that the loyalty of Monroe and others was more due to their fear of Dharmaraj Ram, their helplessness about their own situation, and their interests that were temporarily tied together.

The foundation of this loyalty is still fragile and requires time and means to consolidate.

Although it is ridiculous to talk about loyalty in an organization like the Shadow Church, we still have to make some attempts to at least prevent them from betraying easily.

"Ahem," Li Xiang coughed twice to attract Karina's attention, and then said in a gentle voice: "Okay, Karina, they also know they are wrong."

"We are in need of people now, so let them make amends for their crimes."

Karina nodded when she heard this. She had no intention of punishing Monroe and the others. What she said just now was just a warning to them and to help Li Xiang win over the hearts of the people.

After all, Li Xiang's current strength is still very weak, and he is not worthy of being a secret guard. Even if Li Xiang and Monroe and others are in the same boat, there is no guarantee that they will not have other small ideas.

That's why Karina tried every possible way to help Li Xiang win over the hearts of the people and establish his prestige, without any worry that Li Xiang would strip her of her power.

I can only say that she really loves it~
"Since Xiao Yu'er pleaded for you, I will temporarily spare you, but this will not happen again. If you dare to disobey my and Xiao Yu'er's orders again, you will not be so lucky!"

Karina glanced at Monroe and the others one by one with a sharp gaze, then waved her hand: "Okay, get up first."

"As ordered!"

Monroe and others stood up immediately and waited respectfully for Karina's orders.

"I just said that without the magic beasts you are just trash, and I don't need trash under my command."

As Karina spoke, she took out the black crystal that sealed the Flame Queen Lizard.

Monroe and the others showed horrified expressions when they saw this. Just as they were about to kneel down and beg for mercy, they heard Karina continue to say:
"So I will reward you with a few magical beasts to help you get rid of your status as waste."

After saying that, Kalina released the Flame Queen Lizard from the black crystal.

This process is neither long nor short, but compared to the almost instantaneous release speed of the Poké Ball, the speed of this black crystal seems too slow.

Li Xiang showed a look of disgust on his face, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the super ball around his waist.

As expected, they, the players, have to follow Lord Ryan. The other forces are so rubbish that they even treat a basic Poké Ball as a treasure.

No wonder veteran players often say that even if Lord Ryan does not have the power to ban accounts, they are willing to serve him.

Before entering the game, he thought the old players were just trying to flatter him.
Li Xiang touched the super ball on his waist, then glanced at the space backpack that the Dujianscabbard used as a load, and his eyes gradually became firm.

He, Li Xiang, is also willing to go through fire and water for Lord Ryan, no matter what!

After a while, Karina finally released the Flame Queen Lizard. Then she put away the black crystal and ordered the Flame Queen Lizard:

"Flame Queen Lizard, spread your scent and summon back the Night Thief Salamanders on the island!"

The Flame Queen Lizard nodded slightly and then began to secrete pheromone gas.

These gases gradually spread outward with the wind, attracting the island's night-thief fire lizards.

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and suddenly realized: "No wonder you are confident in letting them search the island, it turns out you can help them subdue the night thief fire lizard."

Karina raised her head proudly. "That's right. I can't do anything to the other released monsters, but the Night Thief Salamander will definitely come back."

"These guys only have the Flame Queen Lizard in their minds. Once they smell the scent of the Flame Queen Lizard, they will definitely gather here desperately. They are just as stupid as those men in heat!"

At this point, Karina suddenly realized that Li Xiang was also a man, and hurriedly explained to Li Xiang:

"That. I didn't say you, you are different from them!"

"What do you mean? I'm not a man?" Li Xiang deliberately joked.

Karina shook her head again and again: "Of course you are a man, and the best man, I mean..."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I was just teasing you." Li Xiang chuckled.

Karina heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, but then she became angry and said:

"Humph, you are getting more and more courageous!"

"Will Karina punish me then?"

"Is there any need to ask? I will definitely punish you. Just wait and lick my feet!"

Looking at Karina's blushing face, Li Xiang felt resentful in his heart.

You are still here looking down on the night-stealing fire lizards, not knowing that you are no different from them now.

No, the Night Salamander may even mate with the Flame Queen Lizard and enjoy their sweet pleasure.

As for you, Karina, I won't let you succeed!

Li Xiang slightly distanced himself from Karina, then changed the subject:
"We'll talk about the punishment later. By the way, this island is very large. Can those night-thieving fire lizards smell the scent of the Flame Queen Lizard?"

Karina did not notice Li Xiang's little action, and replied with a smug look on her face:

"Of course you can. The Flame Queen Lizard can release a variety of scents. The scent released now is specifically used to lure and call the Night Thief Salamander. It spreads over a very wide area and is ineffective against humans and other magical beasts."

"As long as the night-thief fire lizards are still on this island and haven't run deep into the island, they will come here sooner or later."

Li Xiang nodded in understanding: "I understand. Since the Flame Queen Lizard did not show up, the Night Thief Salamander thought it stayed on the island, so it would not leave with Viscount Ryan."

"Not only that, they don't dare to go deep into the island. They will only linger at the place where the Flame Queen Lizard left its last scent. The distance should not be too far, and they can definitely smell the scent emitted by the Flame Queen Lizard."

Karina listened to Li Xiang's analysis, and her eyes were almost filled with admiration.

As expected of her little fish, she is so smart!
After listening to the conversation between the two, Monroe and the others knew that they had a chance to subdue the monster again, especially the night-thief fire lizard that only Kalina's confidants could subdue before. This made them ecstatic.

Although these fire lizards cannot evolve, their fire and poison attributes give them good combat capabilities.

Moreover, the night-thief fire lizards are still a symbol of status under Kalina. At least they don’t have to worry about being killed by Kalina at will.

"By the way, after you subdue the Night Thief Salamander, you can go to the shore and release the church's summoning fireworks. Perhaps that will attract some brainless trial participants."

"in addition."

Li Xiang looked at Karina who was giving orders, his eyes becoming more complicated.

This drama has come to an end. I have finally lived up to the trust of the organization and successfully completed the task.

But the challenge mission has not yet ended, it can even be said that it has just begun. Future tasks will be more difficult, and it is unknown whether he can succeed in the end.

If he fails, the worst outcome for him is to lose his life and return to the territory to seek refuge with Hao Ren and Lao Ma, but what will be the fate of Karina?
Forget it, why think so much? Karina is just an NPC in a game, and the ending has nothing to do with me.

At this moment, Karina seemed to notice Li Xiang's gaze, turned around suddenly, and smiled at him.

A gust of sea breeze happened to pass by, lifting the loose hair on her temples and gently shaking the lush branches and leaves around her.

However, does this wind just blow the leaves?
Li Xiang didn't know, and he didn't want to know. (End of this chapter)
