Ever since Iyas joined their team, Bai Jin hasn't been alone with Yang Yu like this for a long time.
At first, Bai Jin didn't know how to deal with Iyas, the elf girl who naturally felt oppressive to her.
But as they spent time together day after day, the two of them found a balance and became friendly friends.
For Bai Jin, this is also her first same-sex friend.
"Bai Jin, I'll be frank with you. What do you think of Iyas these days?"
Yang Yu faced Bai Jin, but with his back to Iyas, and asked his question directly.
Looking at Yias who was looking around not far away, Bai Jin gave her own opinion, "To be honest, I always feel that Yias has become more and more anxious recently, and has become completely unlike herself.
But this has to do with her experience. She suffered such a thing and an important person went missing. It is difficult for ordinary people to bear such pain.
Now that we have finally found the clue, it is understandable that she would become like that."
As Bai Jin spoke, he tightened his grip on the staff.
"I once had someone important to me, and there were times when I saw hope that the important person would get better, and I pursued that hope regardless of everything."
"That's not a reason for her not to follow orders. Even though you haven't said it before, you should know the danger of our adventure. You should know our current situation.
Sometimes, extenuating circumstances are not an excuse.”
Every word that came out of Yang Yu's mouth was sonorous and powerful, and Bai Jin lowered his head even more.
She knew what Yang Yu meant. Yang Yu was very strong, but not strong enough to cover the sky with one hand. There were many big shots above him.
When the devil comes, they will probably just become ants that can be crushed to death at will.
Yang Yu’s response strategy has always been clear, which is to build a reliable team to jointly deal with this natural disaster.
Bai Jin has worked so hard so far in order not to be left behind by the team and to become the team member she expected to be and be able to help Yang Yu.
And the team members who can fight against natural disasters are definitely not the kind of people who will affect the team's morale and cause conflicts within the team at critical moments.
"Yang Yu, can you use your words to make Iyas realize her mistakes like you did before, just like when we just met?"
Yang Yu shook his head. "She was very innocent then, and she was ignorant of the world. Now she has become arrogant. You have also seen that the girl is too stubborn and obsessed with trivial matters. She no longer understands what people say.
Maybe I should learn Elvish, maybe then I'll have a chance."
"So, there is no other way. If something happens on the road because of Iyas, what will you do, Yang Yu?"
Yang Yu was silent for a moment, and then replied in an extremely affirmative tone: "I will probably do the same as you."
Then, Yang Yu grinned at Bai Jin.
"So, if something unacceptable really happens in the future, just do what you want in your heart. Maybe you can help me."
"Is that so? As expected, there are some things that only a woman like me can do. But before that, I will use my own ideas and methods to calm Iyas down."
Bai Jin answered firmly and looked up at Iyas. However, Iyas seemed to have poured a bucket of cold water on Bai Jin. She looked around and left them behind to chase after someone.
"This way?"
Chasing the fleeing stranger, Iyas walked into a narrow alley, which was a dead end.
The strange man slapped the wall with his hands, looking panicked. Finally, he turned around and raised his hands to face Iyas who had drawn the bow.
"Hey, hey, hey, young lady, you are so angry. I wonder why you are chasing me? Do you think I am handsome and want to make friends with me? My name is Pitaya, may I ask your name, young lady?"
Pulling the bow a little further, Iyas approached the strange man who called himself Pitaya step by step and asked loudly: "Don't play dumb, are you following me?"
Pitaya sneered, "Stalking? Are you kidding me? How could I do such a thing? I am an upright gentleman, I would never do such a petty theft."
Iyas released the bowstring, and an arrow shot out rapidly, piercing through Pitaya's clothes on the right shoulder and pinning him to the wall. "This is a warning. Next time, it won't just be your clothes that will be pierced. Tell me, what is your purpose!"
Facing Iyas's naked questioning, Pitaya remained fearless and a trace of calmness appeared on his face. Iyas suddenly heard footsteps from behind, followed by two arms whistling.
Iyas rolled forward to avoid the attack, took an arrow from her quiver, and turned back to face the attacker.
What surprised Iyas was that it was not just one person who attacked her, but two people who attacked her from both sides, and behind them, four more figures walked out.
Pitaya unhurriedly pulled out the bow and arrow from his shoulder and threw it casually on the ground. "Take a good look around you. Can you still talk to me in the same tone as you did just now? Get your position clear, you bitch!"
Iyas gritted her teeth. If they were in a dense forest, dealing with seven people at the same time would not be a problem, but in such a narrow terrain, Iyas's archer's advantage could not be highlighted at all.
A burly man snapped his fingers and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not going to cause any trouble to you.
We just need your cooperation. You seem to be a partner of those two people. As long as you cooperate with us and lure those two people out, we promise you that we will let you go after the task is completed, and we will even give you a tip as a reward.
Those two guys are quite famous on the bounty list, so you will definitely benefit from it."
"Kiwi, don't waste your words on her. Don't try to be gentle with her at this time! A woman like this won't cooperate with us. Catch her now!"
Dragon Fruit urged dissatisfiedly. The big man called Kiwi complained, "Don't you listen to other people's opinions?" Then he teamed up with another strong man and pounced on Iyas.
The other four people blocked the entrance of the alley and prevented anyone from entering.
Iyas took a deep breath and shot an arrow at the chest of the attacking big guy. Kiwi's hand glowed with green light and he used the skill [Grip of Immortality] to firmly grasp Iyas' arrow and crush it to pieces.
Without a moment's hesitation, Iyas immediately pulled the bowstring, and an arrow made of holy light appeared between the bowstring. A stream of light flashed under the shadow of the town, but was blocked by the kiwi green hand knife.
