Others cannot understand the relationship between him and Xiaojiu.
From the moment he opened his eyes and saw the thin figure standing in front of him and protecting him as he faced the wolves alone, he secretly swore in his heart that he would protect her throughout his life, even if it cost him his own life. No matter what she did in the future, no matter whether she was recognized by the world or not, he would always stand by her side.
Although Xiaojiu is not his blood relative, she is more like his relative than his blood relatives.
Thinking of the life-saving and self-protection things she stuffed into his space, a gentle smile appeared on his face. Others said that his sister was lucky to have a brother like him, but he always believed that he was lucky to have a sister like Xiaojiu.
As for the other side, the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group came to Zhuo Junyue and saluted with his fists: "Sir, we meet again."
His gaze moved behind the man, and he saw two figures, one old and one young, resting at the foot of the mountain not far away. Seeing this, he smiled.
"Yeah." Zhuo Junyue nodded lightly and didn't say much.
"Our team is resting in front. There are only three of us, the Young Master, the Immortal King, and that little Young Master. Would you like to go over and sit with us? We hunted some game when we came here, and we can share some with the Immortal King and the Young Masters." The team leader said with a smile, thinking that they probably didn't have anything to eat here, and it just so happened that their team had game, so he could share some with them.
"No, thank you." Zhuo Junyue said, his voice still indifferent and his face expressionless.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader smiled and said, "Okay, if you need anything, you can come to us. We will rest here for the next few days." After saying that, he exchanged fists and saluted, then glanced at the two sleeping people, then smiled and turned to leave.
Feng Jiu, who was half asleep, could vaguely hear their conversation, but thinking that Zhuo Junyue was watching over her, she relaxed and took a rest, and soon fell asleep.
Zhuo Junyue walked back and saw that the old man was drunk and snoring in his sleep, while the young man could actually fall asleep amidst the thunderous snoring, which was also amazing.
He shook his head, then sat cross-legged not far from the two of them, guarding them. His eyes were closed to rest, but his mind was paying attention to the movements around him.
Only about 500 meters away, the mercenaries started a fire and roasted game, while discussing when to go up the mountain to look for the Fire Stone.
As the sky gradually darkened and the smell of barbecued meat gradually spread, not only did Fengjiu, who was soundly asleep, smell the meat, but also the teams in front of the mountain.
Those people came following the smell of meat, but when they saw the team of mercenaries, they did not get any closer and walked around the mercenaries and moved forward. Surprisingly, they saw the three people with unfathomable strength. Seeing this, they had to quietly withdraw from the area.
Everyone here is not easy to deal with. They dare not stay in the same place with them. If they are not careful, they may be killed at any time.
So, Guan Xilin and Feng Jiu, the brother and sister, were in the same volcanic forest, at the foot of the mountain behind the volcano, but because they were fifty meters apart, they didn't even know the other was there.
