After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 178 At least for now, we are not enemies

Mingke tossed the keys he had just received in his hand, then clicked his tongue in exasperation.

"It's just a small favor, what trouble could possibly arise from asking him to take a look?"

"It's rare to encounter something so interesting while on a mission, can't you let me have a turn?"

The burly, cold-faced man standing not far away glared at Lin Xiao with a very gloomy expression, then walked straight past her and snatched the key from Ming Ke's hand.

"I wasn't notified! And... who let him leave this room?"

Her cold, wary gaze fixed intently on Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao's lips trembled slightly, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip, taking small steps to hide timidly behind Ming Ke.

Mingke exclaimed and raised his hand to block the cold-faced man who was trying to walk forward.

"Tsk! You're just a little girl, don't scare her."

Lin Xiao, looking timid and embarrassed, tugged at Ming Ke's arm.

The sound was so soft it was almost drowned out by the rustling of leaves in the forest.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again!"

Mingke didn't take it to heart at all and casually shook his head.

"what is this?!"

As he spoke, he patted her on the shoulder and urged her to go inside.

Lin Xiao glanced very cautiously at the cold-faced Yama standing next to her, nodded hastily, and then quickly turned and went into the wooden house next door!

With a "bang," the wooden door slammed shut!
"Look, you scared them, didn't you?"

"With a face like yours, I think you'll stay single forever."

Another cold voice was equally unceremonious.

"Given our identities, do you still want to get married?"

That hit the bullseye!

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

Lin Xiao, now in the room, showed no trace of the timidity she had shown moments before.

Judging from Mingke's reaction when she took the key, it seems that the arrested comrade was located very close to her.

But besides this wooden house, is there anywhere else here where people can hide?
Moreover, judging from the situation, they have at least two bases here this time.

To take them both down at once... we need to plan this out carefully!
Perhaps because of what he had just done, the cold-faced devil immediately stood guard beside Mingke after he returned.

During this time, Lin Xiao opened the door twice more, trying to find an opportunity to continue talking with Ming Ke.

Unfortunately, every time I open the door, I'm met with that cold-faced Yama.

What bad luck!

It wasn't until nearly evening that faint voices could be heard outside.

"Ming-ge! We caught some animals to roast, would you like to try some?"

"I'm not going, you guys have fun!"

"Then you can have this chicken."

“Okay!” Mingke’s voice was loud and clear, sounding very relaxed.

However, after the approaching footsteps disappeared, the cold-faced Yama's voice slowly rang out.

Why don't you go?

Mingke didn't answer, but just chuckled, "You want to go? Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here!"

"That was not what I meant……"

Unfortunately, Mingke didn't listen to him at all, and just randomly called out to someone, "We're all on a mission together, you can't isolate us."

"Come quickly and pull him away!"

As the commotion subsided, a lazy, gentle voice rang out at the door!
"Have you been waiting long? Why aren't you coming out yet?"

Lin Xiao, who had been waiting in her room for any opportunity to run out, puffed out her cheeks and cautiously peeked out.

She looked left and right to make sure the person was real before she stepped out.

"He's finally gone!"

Mingke chuckled softly, said nothing more, and simply pushed the things on the table forward.

"Don't mind him, he's just too responsible." Hearing this assessment, Lin Xiao, while tearing off a chicken leg, subconsciously asked, "So you're not responsible either?"

Mingke raised an eyebrow, a hint of a half-smile flashing in his eyes.

"Oh? You think I'm very responsible?"

His strange tone and meaningful expression made Lin Xiao pause for a moment while eating.

For some reason, she suddenly had a very strange feeling.

It seems that what Mingke revealed today was what he wanted to say?
perhaps……

Lin Xiao looked at the person in front of him meaningfully, and the smile on his face became more meaningful as well.

How would I know if you're going to take responsibility?

"After all... I don't know what your mission is?"

Lin Xiao smiled and shrugged, then naturally took a bite of the chicken leg in her hand.

Seeing how relaxed she was, Mingke was momentarily stunned.

"You're quite bold, aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

"you will not!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Although I don't know who you are, at least for now... we shouldn't be enemies."

Mingke simply looked at her and chuckled softly, offering neither an answer nor a rebuttal.

He calmly focused his attention on the food in front of him.

"You two seem to be having a good chat?"

A rough voice suddenly came from the side, and Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. She abruptly raised her head.

Not far away, Xu Yan, with a backpack slung over his right shoulder and his arms crossed in front of his chest, leaned against a pillar with a relaxed expression, watching them leisurely.

Lin Xiao pursed her lips slightly and subconsciously clenched her fist.

When did Xu Yan arrive?

How much of the conversation did he hear just now?
"Brother Xu!" Ming Ke walked down to Xu Yan's side as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xiao finally came to her senses.

She blinked innocently, her mouth full of chicken leg, looking both naive and pitiful.

"I...I'm just a little hungry, is it not allowed to come out and get something to eat?"

She blinked, looking quite frightened.

It seemed like they were really just there to eat.

Xu Yan gave her a deep look, said nothing, and stepped into the room.

As we brushed past each other, I heard a man's deep voice.

"Didn't you want to know our news? Why aren't you coming in?"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her head.

Xu Yan's application was approved?
But... will they really tell her about the organization?

Lin Xiao subconsciously touched the buttons on her collar.

never mind!

Regardless of whether what Xu Yan said this time is true or false, it is at least a clue. Maybe they can really find something by following this clue!
After traveling all afternoon, Lu Chengshen and his group finally saw the wooden house not far away as evening approached.

Before they even got close, they saw the firelight in front of the wooden house.

The group exchanged glances and instinctively slowed their pace.

Li Yunchuan was just about to send someone forward to scout out the enemy's situation.

He was about to walk forward when suddenly someone grabbed his arm and pulled him back several steps!

Everyone turned to look, and saw a short-tailed viper, yellowish-brown in color, lying where Li Yunchuan had just been standing.

Her head was raised slightly, and her entire snake body shrank back a bit, already assuming an attack stance!

Having learned from the example of the silver-ringed snake, everyone instinctively looked at Lu Chengshen.

Lu Chengshen took a few steps forward with the silver-ringed snake. Before he could speak, he saw the short-tailed viper on the ground. It tilted its triangular head slightly and looked at the crowd in front of it with some confusion.

Huh?
Does it smell like a small banded krait?
