Only I can make them stronger

Looking around, there were no strangers in the entire huge Shadow Claw contact point except the two of them.

She decided to search first to find what the old blacksmith wanted.

Although the blue crystal is gone, since we have come here already, wouldn’t it be a loss to return empty-handed?

Maybe the old blacksmith has other ways to help me forge?

"What on earth is going on over there..." Looking at the sky in the distance that was calming down again, Jinelle was really confused.

After the terrifying fluctuations of the energy over there subsided, at Anke's strong request, the four girls decided to rush to where Xia Ye was.

But halfway through the journey, it started again.

This time, there was not only the uncomfortable distorted fluctuations, but also some other strange elements, which seemed to be in direct conflict with each other.

Later, even the sky was reflected with a faint blood-red color.

Now, no matter how strong Jinniel's imagination was, she really couldn't figure out what was going on.

"I don't care, I'm going to go over and take a look!" An Ke ran over with the chainsaw in hand, not slowing down at all.

If this kind of fluctuation happens a few more times, her fragile little heart will not be able to bear it.

Even if Xia Ye was already dead, she wanted to confirm it with her own eyes immediately.

Seeing this, the other three had no choice but to follow.

Not long after, they arrived at Shadow Claw's contact point under Fiti's guidance, and were shocked by the bloody scene before them.

It was obvious that there had been a brutal massacre here, with broken limbs, organs and blood scattered everywhere.

The large flat looked like it had just been through a fight.

"I... when I left... this place wasn't like this..." Fitty seemed a little scared and said in a low voice blankly.

"Isn't this nonsense?" An Ke glanced at her impatiently, even though her heart was pounding.

"Be careful, there may be enemies inside..." Jinniel narrowed her eyes and saw that there was still light inside the flat door.

"I'll lead the way, and you guys follow behind." Karen picked up the giant sword and walked in cautiously.

After all, as Phoenix's clerk, she and Ginelle have seen more big scenes.

The group of four lined up in a row and started exploring the house.

"This is indeed Shadow Claw's territory..."

Jinelle looked at the Shadow Claw emblems that appeared from time to time on the wall and the corpses that were everywhere, with an expression like an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.

This scene was really too exaggerated. The owners of those corpses didn't seem to have died in battle at all. Instead, they were slaughtered by some powerful person to vent his anger.

According to Fiti, there seems to be a researcher with unfathomable strength who is quite fond of Xia Ye. Could it be her?

"Xia Ye!" At this time, Anke's exclamation sounded, her pink hair flying, and her petite figure rushed out of the team, threw herself on Xia Ye, and checked her back and forth anxiously.

At this time, Xia Ye was hot all over and barely breathing, but fortunately he was still alive, which made An Ke feel a little relieved.

"No one?" After the other three hurriedly followed in, Karen frowned and looked around, but found no trace of the enemy.

However, this room looked obviously more tragic than other places, and it was obvious that it had experienced a great war.

"There seems to be someone there." At this time, Fitty suddenly pointed to the corner next to the curtain and said in a low voice.

Her inspiration, like that of Jinniel, is of a higher level, and coupled with her fourth-order factor level, her perception ability is stronger than that of the others.

Qilisi, who had lost the blue crystal and was a little weak after the battle, could not escape her perception.

Seeing that her position was directly pointed out, Qilisi simply removed the shadows around her and revealed her figure.

"It's you who made Xia Ye like this!" Seeing that there were still people left here, An Ke, who was worried and confused, didn't think at all, picked up the chainsaw and prepared to rush forward.

"Wait a minute, Anke!" "It's not her! That researcher... has completely different physical characteristics from her!"

The voices of Ginelle and Fitty rang out at the same time, narrowly saving Qili's life.

In the latter's current state, he probably wouldn't last more than ten seconds in front of the irritable Encore.

"Huff, huff..." Anke panted heavily, her pink eyes fixed on Qilisi who was looking coldly at her, and suddenly she disassembled the chainsaw and reassembled it into a shotgun.

The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Qilisi's head, and a questioning voice sounded:

"I ask you questions and you answer them. I can tell when you're lying or hiding something, and I'll blow your head off!"

Qilisi did not respond and continued to look at Anke coldly.

The latter didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, and asked directly:

"Did you hurt him like this?"

Qilisi shook her head in silence.

"Then who are you? Why are you here?"

Qi Lisi didn't respond.

It wasn't that she didn't want to write a reply, but she was worried that if she moved the slightest, the shotgun would fire.

The pink-haired girl looked emotionally unstable.

"three two……"

"Anke, don't be so impulsive!" Jinelle quickly stepped forward to stop Anke, looked at the white-haired girl and asked:

"Can't you talk?"

nod.

"Can you write?"

nod.

"Can you tell us? The question just now."

nod.

After searching the house, Ginelle finally found half a piece of paper and a pen under the remains of the desk and handed it over.

Soon, Qilisi simply wrote down the answer that Encore wanted.

"I came here for personal reasons and stumbled upon this carnage and this man."

"Because he helped me before, I saved him this time too, from that madman... The madman is gone, but his physical condition is very bad."

"Now that my work is done, I am just staying by his side and waiting for his companions to come looking for me... Since you are here, I should leave as well."

Jinelle read the contents of the paper quietly and looked at Anke.

"It's very likely that he didn't lie. The writing was very fluent, and there were no signs of fabricated information." Anke slowly put down the gun.

In any case, it was most likely the other party who protected Xia Ye.

Seeing this, Qilisi opened the window and left.

"Wait... Never mind..."

Just as Jinniel was about to call her, she disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

35. You like him, girl

The next evening, the group arrived at the Clock City, east of Katari.

Xia Ye was still in a coma, but his vital signs were stabilizing. After discussion, everyone decided to go to the nearest Clock City and find a hotel to rest, and then make plans after Xia Ye woke up.

"Open... two rooms." Jinelle glanced at Anke who was carrying Xia Ye on her back, and helplessly glanced at the counter to pick up the button for two rooms.

After getting the key, the four of them went to the guest room on the second floor.

"Are you sure you want to take care of Xia Ye by yourself? You haven't had a good rest... or else..."

Jinelle asked as she opened the door for Anke.

"I can do it alone." An Ke interrupted her, took the key, carried Xia Ye into the room, and closed the door directly.

"If you need any help, just call us. We're right next door." Jinelle said loudly towards the door.

"This girl...she usually has the sharpest tongue than anyone else, but now she's acting like a protective little wife..." Karen shrugged when she saw this, opened the door next to her and walked in.

"Say less..." Jinel walked in with Fiti and said to the latter:

"Feidi, you don't have to be sad. Anke is just temporarily emotionally unstable and does things without thinking. You are colleagues after all. I believe that was not her intention."

Hearing this, Fiti shook her head and said:

"I'm not sad, I just feel a little... guilty. I feel like I'm really useless..."

"I have brought misfortune to Xia Ye again..."

"That's not the case~" Karen put his arm around Fiti's shoulders and said with a smile:

"You don't know Xia Ye. He has a natural tendency to get into trouble. He has experienced it before, but he always gets out of danger. Don't think too much, little Fiti!"

Although Karen was also concerned about Xia Ye's situation, her personality prevented her from showing too much discouragement.

"But... I hope so..." Fitty clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

…………

"Dead pig..."

On the other side, in the room where the two were alone, An Ke put Xia Ye on the bed, and after catching her breath, she looked at the latter's slightly painful sleeping face with an unhappy look on her face.

"I've been given a fever-reducing injection and antibiotics, but he still won't wake up!"

"If you don't wake up, I'll chop off your trash stick, you hear me!"

There was no movement. An Ke bit her lower lip, and her unhappy expression gradually turned into aggrieved one.

When the blanket was lifted from Xia Ye yesterday, the dark blue lines on his chest and abdomen had disappeared, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.

But if they were not blind, they could notice the bowl-sized holes on his combat suit's belly and back.

It was obvious that Xia Ye was hit through by some powerful attack.

People who didn't know the specific situation could only think that Xia Ye used his own healing ability to heal his injuries, but overdrew his physical strength in the new round of battle, which led to his current situation.

"Stupid Xia Ye... Idiot Xia Ye! Why do you want to do something risky when you clearly don't have the ability!"

"If you die accidentally, who will hold me to sleep in the future?"

"We haven't even decided the winner yet...are you planning to admit defeat?"

"If you really dare to admit defeat like this, I will crush your useless stick! No matter how much you beg me, I will ignore you..."

"..."

"Xia Ye, can you get better soon? I'm so scared..."

As the saying goes, some things can only make people realize their true colors after they are lost.

Even though Jinniel judged that Xia Ye was not seriously injured, her appearance made her feel uneasy.

Anke has always been an insecure person.

Whether it's love or fighting, she has become accustomed to dealing with it in the way that will least hurt herself.

After arriving at Qianshi Office, her colleagues gave her care that was almost like family affection, which taught her to stop running away and gradually become more responsible and willing to stand up and fight for her companions.

The appearance of Xia Ye seemed to have awakened her need for security in another aspect amidst the quarrels and fights.

This feeling is vague and immature for a young girl, and may make her panic or helpless.

But if Luo Qi knew her thoughts clearly, he would just smile and say to her:

"You may have fallen in love with Mr. Xia Ye."

The budding of feelings for the opposite sex was quietly planted in Anke's heart when they were getting along like a pair of bickering lovers.

However, Xia Ye's ambivalent and cold attitude made her feel empty inside all the time.

Until those two nights on the SUV.

The sense of security, the warm embrace, the passionate kiss, and the uncontrollable emotions driven by desire, all seeped into the empty heart bit by bit.

It was then that An Ke realized that she had lost miserably in the battle with Xia Ye.
