Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

It took a while for Germain's team to recover the alchemy plant from the remains of the Disease Spreader.

This time they only got 30 plants, which was more than 20 plants less than last time.

But this was enough. They then returned from here to the "Special Lantern Teleportation Point" in the gray desert, and it was already late at night when they arrived.

They camped nearby and stayed for another night, then returned to the ancient labyrinth the next morning via non-cooling teleportation between "special lanterns".

As soon as they returned to the "special lantern teleportation point" of the ancient maze - the top floor of the tower, the team members couldn't help but relax.

Bisji ran downstairs excitedly and thumping.

She wants to take a bath and then put on a beautiful, fragrant dress.

These days she wears the same tights for ease of fighting.

This frustrated her so much that she ran away eagerly without even saying hello to the other three.

Bhara was the second to leave here.

He said he was going to talk to Jin, Menqi and Sambika who stayed here. The team completed the mission and they all returned safely.

Germain was at the "Special Lantern Teleportation Point", confirming what kind of "negative traits" or "diseases" he had acquired this time.

As a result, this time he got two "negative traits" and no "disease", which is the best case scenario.

The first "negative trait" is "Araphobia".

That is, when German is in a gray desert or other similar wilderness scenes, once a "stress event" is triggered, additional pressure will be added to the original basis.

The second "negative trait" is "Shoulder Damage".

That is to say, all of Germain's melee damage will be reduced to a certain extent due to this "negative trait".

These two "negative traits" must be eliminated by Germain immediately after returning to Greed Island.

And in terms of limitations, it's definitely the "shoulder injury" that's more harmful.

At this time, Xiaodi, who was still at the top of the tower, came over.

Without looking back, Germain felt the warm, soft body pressing against his back, allowing him to fully feel the amazing elasticity and ductility.

Xiaodi hugged Germain from behind with her arms, her face pressed against his broad back, her eyes expressionless, and she breathed slowly.

Germain didn't move and let Xiaodi hold him like this.

This is the rare moment they have alone recently, so let Xiaodi continue to hold her.

She only acted like a coquettish person after that night.

Germain found that Xiaodi was becoming more and more feminine in both physical and mental aspects.

Xiao Di squinted for a while, then opened her eyes, let go of Germain, and straightened her crooked black-rimmed glasses.

"What's wrong?"

Germain looked back at Xiaodi, and he noticed the slight change in Xiaodi's mood. This was the unique subtle tacit understanding between lovers after soul exchange.

"Well..." Xiaodi pointed her finger on her lips and tilted her head cutely, "Bisji, it seems that you have noticed what happened to us."

"Oh, she noticed?"

Germain didn't have many surprises. It should be said that he knew that the girl in her fifties would find out sooner or later.

"probably."

Xiaodi picked up her collar with her right hand, revealing a plump and white collar. She reached in with her left hand, took out something, and placed it in the palm of her hand.

It was a small bronze pocket watch. The same small reverse cross was still hanging on the chest at least, but it was forced to hide in the deep dark world and never saw the light of day.

"She found this on me and asked me, isn't this Germain's pocket watch? Why is it with you?"

Germain raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"

"I said I wanted it, so I brought it over. After that, she just smiled and didn't ask any more questions."

Xiao Didi paused and then added: "I don't like her smiling like that. I always feel like she knows everything."

"Just know it, it doesn't matter."

It really doesn't matter to Germain. The reason why he hasn't made it public yet is because he doesn't want too many people to interfere in the matter between him and Xiaodi.

They may have good intentions, but in fact neither Germain nor Xiaodi need this kind of intervention. They prefer the current state of letting nature take its course.

As for why Germain's pocket watch is in Xiaodi's place, that's a bad habit of Xiaodi's.

She always liked to take something from Germain.

It was originally a sketch by Germain. Of course, this was technically a gift from Germain, and the subject in the painting was also Xiaodi himself.

Then came Germain's dice, then Germain's headphones, then Germain's game console, pen... and now finally it's Germain's pocket watch.

Xiaodi was like a hamster, constantly taking away things from Germain, keeping them with him, and hiding them.

She had taken the pocket watch away when she was in a hurry to help German undress, but later forgot to return it.

Germain was also used to things around him disappearing bit by bit until they arrived at Xiaodi's place, so he didn't pay attention to it and let the matter pass.

Unexpectedly, this pocket watch now became the key for Bisji to discover and confirm the latest progress between Germain and Xiaodi.

The current period between Germain and Xiaodi can be said to be the sweetest period.

If Bisji had to bring it out in the open, the two of them wouldn't actually say anything.

However, Bisiji was the person who knew them best and cared about them the most.

She chose not to say anything, as if she had not discovered anything.

German and Xiaodi stayed on the top floor of the tower for a while before walking down the spiral stone staircase together.

Originally, there was only a spiral stone staircase in the middle of the tower, and most of the place was hollow, but now it was built with ceilings and floors, blocking many floors.

German and Xiaodi reached the bottom floor and walked out of the archway of the tower, and were immediately shrouded in shadows all around.

Tall walls were erected one after another, surrounding the tower.

Of course, the tower was still the tallest here, and the wall only reached two-thirds of its height.

The busy shouts of the moose warriors were heard all around, and they were carrying stones for building the city.

Under the command of Jin and Scela and their efforts, the prototype of the tower castle has been built.

As for the four members of the German team who did not participate in the construction of the castle, the reason they disappeared during this period was to explore outside the ancient maze.

Such a reason was enough for the moose centaurs such as Scela, and they did not doubt it.

German and Xiaodi were greeting the moose centaurs they met nearby, indicating that Jin appeared when their group of four had just returned.

He held down the brim of his hat to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind echoing between the high walls, muttered a few words, and then stood in front of German.

"Buhala just told me. You are back just in time."

Jin noticed the figure of the moose centaurs not far away, so he waved his hand and pointed to the inside of the tower.

"You two, plus Bisji and I, the four of us will go in and talk. It's time to determine the next target."
