I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 174 Gathering

After Sang Mo said this, Si Mingyu didn't want to continue to pester him, so Qi Yan led them directly to the cave.

Since he had just asked Ryan and the last group of students on night watch to notify the others, everyone was now packed and waiting at the cave entrance.

When Lanxi saw Si Mingyu, she ran over with admiration and joy on her face as if she had seen a savior.

Qi Yan handed the task of explaining the situation to Shangguan Jin and took the opportunity to walk out of the cave.

As the number of monsters around continued to increase, and in addition to the first and second level monsters, there were also a large number of high-level monsters that had been seen in the woods before, so Qi Yan asked Potian to join the battle.

At this time, he walked out of the cave, found a big tree, and sat down against the trunk.

Although it is still early morning, the sunlight is already dazzling and the air is filled with a hot atmosphere.

As soon as Qi Yan sat down, she saw Lin Che standing behind the rock opposite.

Lin Che looked at him, then turned and walked into the forest without saying a word.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Lin Che since he woke up in the morning. So he had been hiding outside the cave?

But why is he hiding?

Qi Yan was confused. She came out to avoid the crowd because the cave was too stuffy and she didn't like Si Mingyu. Then why did Lin Che come out?

"Of course, we're hiding from the Crown Prince." Ryan came over and sat next to him.

Only then did Qi Yan realize that she had unknowingly expressed the doubts in her heart.

So I asked, "Why?"

"I also heard it from my brother. The Crown Prince once wanted to get Molan, and later he bribed people to participate in the competition. In the end, he didn't expect to lose to Lin Che."

Ryan lowered his voice and leaned close to his ear: "I heard that after this, the crown prince secretly issued a bounty order to hunt down Lin Che."

"Think about it, Lin Che is really unlucky. But now that he has entered the military academy, he is under protection. At least Si Mingyu dare not take action openly anymore, and even if he does, he will be much more restrained."

Ryan said this with a sigh, while Qi Yan nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, Ryan rested his head on his arm and leaned against the tree trunk: "Now that the rescue team is here, we should be able to leave here soon. I really miss my comfortable big bed."

Qi Yan glanced at him but didn't reply.

He was not as optimistic as Ryan because he found that the communication signal had not been restored.

I learned from Wen Yi that the signal from Sirius disappeared because Si Mingyu forcibly activated the planetary barrier, causing the signal to be blocked.

Logically speaking, after discovering a large number of monsters appearing on Sirius, if the students wanted to evacuate, the barrier should have been removed long ago.

But Si Mingyu didn’t do that. Was it because he couldn’t or didn’t want to?

In addition, there are more and more monsters here, so it would be difficult to evacuate even if we want to.

In addition, Qi Yan was also very worried about Li Jia's safety. Li Jia must have been very anxious to find him, and he didn't know if he was in danger.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, each with their own thoughts.

Not long after, Sang Mo came out.

He called Ryan over and they talked for a while. Then Ryan went into the cave and Sang Mo walked towards Qi Yan.

"Teacher Sang Mo." Qi Yan stood up and greeted him.

Sang Mo walked into the shade of the tree and said with a smile: "It's not safe outside, why are you staying here?"

Qi Yan did not answer directly, but asked: "Teacher Sang Mo, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Nothing, I just saw that you were not in the cave, so I came to check." Sang Mo smiled gently. There was a natural and peaceful aura about him that made it easy for people to trust him.

In a moment, before Qi Yan had time to say anything, he continued, "Prince Lijia is very worried about you."

Qi Yan suddenly perked up: "Teacher, do you know where my father is?"

Although he had asked Han Jian to notify Li Jia, after all, Han Jian was alone, and Sirius was so big that it was not easy to find someone.

Sang Mo smiled and was about to speak, but he suddenly looked stern: "Be careful!"

The next moment, Qi Yan felt a pain in his arm. He quickly turned around and looked at the tree.

I saw an animal that looked like a monkey but had claws like a sloth, hanging upside down with one hand hooked on a branch.

At this time, blood was still dripping from its sharp claws, and it was obviously the culprit who had just scratched Qi Yan.

Seeing Qi Yan looking at it, the monkey screamed and quickly jumped up the tree.

This thing is not a monster, and Qi Yan is very sure that it is not a strange beast either.

Since even Chouchou didn't notice it, it only means that it itself is not harmful. If it was a strange beast, Chouchou would definitely be able to notice it.

But how could an ordinary animal break through the encirclement of monsters and guards and get in here?

Whatever it is, grab it first.

The next moment, Chouchou flew into the air, and the green vines chased the monkey, but at the same time, Sang Mo grabbed Qi Yan's arm and protected him behind him.

Because of this, Chouchou lost his balance, and the monkey he was about to catch completely disappeared among the dense branches and leaves.

"What's this, classmate Qi Yan?" At this time, Sang Mo also noticed Chou Chou and was a little surprised.

Qi Yan was a little upset that he didn't catch the monkey, but he also knew that Sang Mo didn't do it on purpose, so he took back Chou Chou and said, "This is the exotic plant my father gave me."

Sang Mo wanted to ask more, but Qi Yan didn't want to say anything more.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a gust of air and a slight sound wave were heard in the sky.

Qi Yan walked out from under the tree and saw a small aircraft hovering in the sky.

Then the door of the aircraft opened and a person jumped out.

When Qi Yan saw the man's face clearly, he was overjoyed and ran over quickly.

"Daddy!"

"Yeah." Li Jia touched his head.

However, the next moment, Li Jia's face suddenly changed. He looked at Qi Yan's bleeding right arm and his expression turned cold: "Who hurt you?"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Sang Mo behind him.

Qi Yan was so happy to see that he was safe and sound that she no longer cared about whether he was a monkey or not.

"I'm fine, Dad, I have something to tell you." Now he just wanted to tell Li Jia about the situation outside as soon as possible.

Li Jia had a cold face, full of suppressed anger, but he also knew that the most important thing now was to bandage Qi Yan's wound.

At this time, more than a dozen robots jumped off the aircraft one after another. Those robots started to cut down trees in the woods nearby, and then a piece of open space large enough to park the aircraft appeared.

Li Jia pulled Qi Yan into the aircraft. After bandaging Qi Yan's wound, he filled the bathtub with water.

Then he told Qi Yan to have a good rest in the room before leaving the aircraft.

The temperature in the room was just right, and Qi Yan felt like she was alive again while soaking in the water.

But he didn't dare soak for too long. After he felt his dehydration eased a little, he simply rinsed himself, changed into clean clothes, and went out to find Li Jia.

During the time he was soaking in the water, two aircrafts full of students had landed safely nearby.

Currently, all the students on Sirius have gathered here.

On the open space on the other side, a temporary command post has been set up.

Qi Yan walked to the door of the temporary command post, and before she knocked, she heard a loud quarrel coming from inside.

Then, Li Jia slammed the door and walked out.

Qi Yan was startled: "Daddy?"

When Li Jia saw him, his icy expression softened a little, but he still sternly accused him, "I told you to have a good rest, why are you running around?"

"I..." Qi Yan pouted and lowered her head pitifully.

Li Jia poked his head in annoyance and said, "I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"

Pretending to be pitiful was a trick that always worked for Li Jia. Although he knew it very well in his heart, the anger he had caused towards Si Mingyu strangely subsided.
