Only I can make them stronger

"Stupid Mr. Xia Ye!"

…………

"Hello! Look who's here!" Karen's heroic voice rang out from the door, immediately attracting the attention of the three people in the room.

"Who is this...? She looks so familiar..." Leah looked at her in a daze.

"She's Karen, the clerk at the Phoenix Office in the Livica Mine." Shana tapped her head.

"Ooh!"

"..." Karen was very upset at the blunt statement.

"After all, we are comrades who have experienced danger together. I saved your life! How can you forget about me?"

"When you two were lying on the ground dying, Xia Ye and I were fighting for our lives in front..."

"Cough cough cough!!!" Xia Ye, who was following behind, started coughing loudly and simply kicked Karen on her amazingly elastic and round butt.

"That's a bit tight, Karen!"

"It hurts, it hurts! Hey! I'm still a wounded soldier... Forget it, a hero doesn't brag about his past achievements!" Karen turned back fiercely, but saw Xia Ye winking at him frantically and Luo Qi with a dark face behind him, so he quickly changed his words.

Although she is outspoken, her emotional intelligence is not that low.

It is obvious at a glance that Xia Ye and the others only report good news and not bad news in front of Luo Qi.

"That's right! Let's quickly talk about what's going on. Let me introduce you. This beautiful mercenary lady is called Y. She's a member of the mercenary organization [Handcart]. She hired us for this mission."

"She was also the one who provided us with the main clues about the attack on the Mercury Merchant Corps. She is a very powerful mercenary."

"The two of you here are Karen and Jinniel. They are clerks from Phoenix Office. We met each other during a previous mission. This time, they are here to rescue the missing members of Mercury Merchant Corps."

"More importantly, they brought us great news!"

Xia Ye also quickly changed the subject and started introducing himself.

At this moment, Karen, who was looking at Y, suddenly let out a light exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Xia Ye, who was standing not far behind her, asked puzzledly.

"No... nothing, just continue..." But Jinniel suddenly pinched Karen's waist without leaving a trace and interrupted her.

Noticing that Y was looking over here, she naturally shifted her gaze away from the other person.

73. Just give him a beating (ask for a monthly ticket~)

Only Xia Ye and Luo Qi, who were standing behind Jinnelle, noticed this detailed movement of hers, but they were also very perceptive and did not show any abnormality.

"Well... the good news is that Anke and Canaanzi are still alive, and Anke just beat Karen severely not long ago."

Soon, Xia Ye brought everyone into the house, closed the door and continued what he had just said.

"What kind of good news is this..." Karen muttered softly.

"Really?" "It's worthy of being an encore!" But Shana and Leah's reactions stabbed her in the back again.

"Hey, hey! Doesn't anyone feel sorry for Karen? What do you mean by worthy of being...?" Karen wanted to refute, but Jinelle simply covered her mouth.

Afterwards, Xia Ye briefly recounted their encounter with Canaanzi and what happened next.

"Where are they?" After listening, Shana stood up and asked.

If Karen and Jinniel had seen the two of them, then they wouldn't have to follow the clues like headless flies to search for them.

"Jia Nanzi and I parted ways in the ruins area about two hours' drive to the east. An Ke went south after injuring Karen. If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Nanzi should be tracking her."

"But now I don't know where to go..."

"In this case, it seems that the direction is still too broad..." Shana frowned slightly, and her mood, which had just brightened up because of the good news, was covered with dark clouds again.

It is not easy to find just two people in such a vast wilderness.

"Can we rely on it? Since this combat machine named Xiao Z is the product of Canaanzi, can it lead us to find Canaanzi?" Xia Ye asked, pointing at the mechanical dog squatting obediently by the door.

"It's impossible. According to what Jinelle said, Canaanzi is probably at least 80 to 100 kilometers away from where we are (the speed in the wilderness is much slower than normal, and we need to consider avoiding the Devil Beasts, so the driving time will be longer). At such a long distance, it is impossible for Xiao Z to sense Canaanzi's location."

"Is that so..." Xia Ye was deflated and couldn't think of any good solution for a moment.

"By the way, Canaanzi told me to press this red button after I take care of Karen's injuries. What does it do?" Jinelle took out the remote control and looked at Luoqi.

"It can allow Little Z to directly enter a special space and quickly return to Canaanzi's side."

"Wait! Luo Qi! Can this special space you mentioned be tracked?" Xia Ye suddenly became energetic again.

"Impossible. Canaanzi told me that this mechanical dog is connected to the subspace she carries with her. The subspace path requires very special inspirational vision and subspace-related knowledge to see and analyze clearly... Anyway, I can't do it." Jinniel shrugged.

"..." Upon hearing the word inspiration vision, Xia Ye suddenly became furious.

His inspiration is still in an isolated state, probably even worse than Leah's. What's more, he knows nothing about the subspace, so it's useless even if he sees it.

"I can't do it either..." Luo Qi's depressed voice officially sentenced this plan to death.

Of all the people present, only he, Jinelle, and Luo Qi could be described as highly inspired individuals.

"And more importantly, Canaan is now tracking Anko alone in the wilderness. I think it would be better to let her combat machine go back quickly." Jinel looked at the red button and said.

Compared to An Ke, she actually only has a certain liking for Canaanzi.

Although she didn't know whether they would meet again in the future, she still hoped that Canaanzi could survive.

After all, in Jinelle's opinion, there are not many people on this continent who can truly be called "researchers".

"Go back, go back..." Xia Ye waved his hand when he saw that no one else was moving.

Upon hearing this, Jinelle immediately pressed the red button, and little Z's body suddenly became ethereal and disappeared from the ground in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the remote control in her hand also emitted a crackling electric light, and then with a "bang", it seemed that something exploded in it, and it was obviously scrapped.

"So useless, not even as good as Xiaojiu..." Xia Ye curled her lips and glanced at Xiaojiu aimlessly.

Perhaps because of their similar body sizes, the latter seemed to be very interested in Little Z and just now it kept circling around it.

At this moment, the sudden disappearance of Little Z made it show a puzzled attitude in a quite anthropomorphic way, and it moved its big petal-shaped head back and forth towards the air.

"Wait a minute!" Xia Ye felt like he had turned into the king of ideas, with ideas popping up one after another.

This time, his target was Xiaojiu.

"If I remember correctly, Xiaojiu can have a one-way inspiration link with me!"

Moreover, Xiaojiu is an artificial monster, and his spiritual connection is different from conventional inspiration, and will not necessarily trigger the defense mechanism of hidden beliefs!

"We have considered this approach before, but the scope is too large to implement it. But now it seems to be different!"

He suddenly said these two sentences without any context, which made everyone look puzzled.

But Xia Ye excitedly stood up and walked to Xiao Jiu and said to it:

"Xiaojiu, you've been with me for some time, so you should be able to understand what I say, right?"

After a while, a faint voice sounded vaguely in Xia Ye's mind:

"instruction……"

There really is hope!

Although the clarity is much worse than before, it’s good enough!

"Xiaojiu, listen carefully. It is not convenient for me to communicate with you through inspiration right now. The instructions may not be accurate. Please try to understand them." Xia Ye carefully considered the words and approached it and said:

"First, can you communicate with regular Devil Beasts, or give them similar instructions as before?"

"..."Since Xia Ye was communicating directly with words at this time, Xiao Jiu's reaction was obviously slower, but after a while, the answer still rang in his mind:

"Target... low-strength unit... feasible..."

"Can we do that to weaker ones..." Xia Ye frowned slightly. All the Devil Beasts in the highway area are above Type 4, and are only stronger than the Type 3 Xiao Jiu.

"Wouldn't it be better to just give him a beating?" A voice came from the side. It was Jinel.

Amidst the increasingly confused looks in the crowd, she was the only one who gradually understood what Xia Ye wanted to do, and her expression unconsciously showed some recognition.

Although Xia Ye is not that "smart", she admires his spirit of constantly coming up with guesses and trying new things in difficult situations.

In particular, Xia Ye's approach to many things seems to be different from that of most people in Hill Continent, which coincides with her ideas in many aspects.

So, in the face of Xia Ye's puzzled look, she patiently explained again:

"Mid- and low-level monsters are bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak. They become weaklings after a beating."

74. Unreasonable time

The other party has already guessed what he wants to do.

From Jinniel's gaze, Xia Ye seemed to see the feasibility of this plan.

This undoubtedly greatly increased Xia Ye's confidence.

"What about the range? What's the maximum coverage area?"

"...two thousand meters...radius..."

But this answer gave Xia Ye a headache again.

A range of two thousand meters is still too large compared to the vastness of the wilderness.

If we are unlucky, it might take another week to find Anko and Canaanzi.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Fat Jack's voice came from outside the door:

"Dear customer! The maps and information you requested have been delivered!"

"Map..." Xia Ye narrowed his eyes, an idea suddenly came to him, and he quickly got up and opened the door.

"It's so lively! Fat Jack likes to see everyone gathered together to chat!" Seeing so many people sitting in the room, Fat Jack praised and handed a few pieces of paper in his hand to Xia Ye.

"Here is a map from Highway Town to Sunset Town. In addition, Fat Jack has also carefully prepared a large-scale terrain information for you."

"There are several similar road sections and housing complexes marked here. They look very similar to Sunset Town, but they have actually been abandoned for a long time. Don't make the mistake!"

"After all, there might be some scary beasts hiding in the abandoned houses on the highway. It would be bad if we were to encounter any danger!"

"Thank you for your information." Xia Ye took the paper, nodded, and thanked him sincerely.

This was exactly the last thing he needed.

"You're welcome, handsome sir! As long as you pay, Fat Jack will definitely do the job perfectly. I also hope that when you pass through the highway area in the future, don't forget to stay at Fat Jack's Inn!"

Fat Jack bowed ostentatiously, then left the room and closed the door.

"Okay, then--" Xia Ye glanced at the contents of the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said:

"I am now basically sure of the plan to find An Ke and Canaanzi!"

…………

"Use Xiaojiu to spread the terror beast intelligence network to find people?" After listening to Xia Ye's explanation, Luo Qi opened her eyes wide and exclaimed.

Y also had a similar expression to her.

The other four people had actually witnessed the scene where Xia Ye and Xiao Jiu cooperated to kill Dilven in the Livica Mine, so they easily accepted it.

But Y and Luo Qi didn't expect that this Type III monster, which seemed to be of little use except for its good looks, could actually do such a miraculous thing?

You know, it is extremely difficult to communicate in the wilderness, and it is even more impossible to conduct physical conduction on a large scale. This is a problem that troubles almost everyone on the Hill Continent.

"Well, actually I thought about this as soon as I entered the highway area, but doing so at the time was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so instead of looking around like a headless fly, it's better to get some relatively specific information and directions before considering it."

"At present, we have mastered the approximate direction and location of Anke and Canaanzi, and we also have the relevant map information provided by Fat Jack."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but An Ke left towards the south after injuring Karen, and Sunset Town happens to be in the south, so his map information is extremely helpful for our search."

"Because, according to what Canaanzi said before and some of the information I have, there is some invisible evil thing in the highway area that can affect people's minds. After being affected, they will spontaneously want to go to a closed space to hide their existence."

"Anko clearly has these symptoms, so we don't need to search a large area of wilderness, but can focus on areas such as abandoned houses and caves."

"Coincidentally, this document lists these areas in detail, so Xiaojiu's two-kilometer coverage is sufficient to achieve this."

After the story was told, the remaining people had different expressions on their faces.

Leah and Karen were confused by what he said, but they just thought it was amazing; Shana and Loki understood what he meant and were delighted; Jinelle still maintained her hidden admiration.
