Chapter 514 Good Dog
【Molten Prison Sniper】 Its dark yellow vertical pupils were full of grievances. Its little head drooped and its tail was tucked between its two hind legs. It didn't want to talk.
If he hadn't run fast, the strange high-altitude structures along the way would have torn him apart.
However, Xu Si still felt a little embarrassed by that resentful look in her eyes.
Xu Si's lips twitched.
He really did forget about it.
When I subdued this level seven monster, I casually put its energy core into my spatial cloak, and then flew eastward, upward, and closer to the Blood Sun, completely forgetting about this unlucky thing.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending." Xu Si kicked its curled-up body.
"Come home with me!"
Xu Si was stunned when he heard this. The City of Fire was like his home!
After taking one last look at Sky City, Xu Si used starlight to carry the [Molten Prison Sniper] back to City of Fire.
As for the fate of the "Sky City" team, Xu Si could only say that he had done everything he could.
Xu Si's figure disappeared from the sky.
Starlight carried the Molten Prison Sniper eastward, leaving the ravaged battlefield behind in the blink of an eye.
The survivors of the Sky City convoy finally stopped their escape.
They floated in mid-air, watching the crimson streak of light disappear at the horizon, speechless for a long time.
"...I told you he was a weirdo! How could he possibly be human?"
"But didn't the train crew announce that they would send reinforcements to help us?" someone remained skeptical.
"How long has it been! They arrived in the blink of an eye? Didn't you see he left with the monster?"
"Yes, yes, we were lucky to run into two strange creatures fighting!"
"I almost thought we were doomed. Why are these weirdos acting like they've gone crazy lately? Should we go find the City of Fire and reunite?" said a young man who was noticeably younger.
As he spoke, he didn't hesitate to look at a young man in his thirties in the center of the crowd.
"We can use the sacrifice of members to buy time this time, but what about next time? There won't be many people left in the convoy!" someone chimed in.
Their team suffered heavy losses this time.
They were like snacks that had been strangely raised by that octopus.
Whenever the octopus goes berserk, they have to sacrifice several members of the convoy to avert disaster.
They knew, of course, that this was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but what other choice did they have?
I'll just live one day at a time.
Hasn't the situation finally turned around?
The crowd gradually fell silent.
The sky city, now devoid of its protective shield, swayed precariously in the wind, like a kite shattered by a storm.
Luo Qinghe stood on the broken battlements, his hands bracing against the shattered stone wall, his gaze fixed on the direction where Xu Si had disappeared.
His lips moved a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Lord, we..." the deputy beside him said in a low voice.
"Let's hide and rest here for a while. We'll ask if there are any high-ranking officials in the City of Fire later. If there are, we'll go there. If not, there's no point in going."
Luo Qinghe has always implemented a high-pressure policy within the team.
But that's no longer possible; all those he oppressed have been sacrificed.
Now those remaining are the core members of the convoy; if he continues to exert pressure, an internal riot could break out at any moment.
This is also what he is most worried about.
It is clear from his words that he also believes Xu Si was not sent by the City of Fire to provide support.
Because Xu Si's performance had exceeded the limits of his imagination.
No one refuted.
The Sky City, dragging its broken body, slowly turned around and headed towards the unknown and uncertain.

When Xu Si sat down in the city lord's mansion again, the caravan had just started having dinner.
Fu Xiaojian, who was holding a rice bowl, was also startled by Xu Si.
"No, he's back already?" Fu Xiaojian felt that he had raised his perception of Xu Si to an unprecedented level, but Xu Si always managed to give him endless breakthroughs.
"Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring over a bowl of rice."
Even meritorious individuals shouldn't be denied food.
However, just as he was about to go out and shout, Kaochang arrived at the city lord's mansion carrying a meal.
"That's great! Saves me from having to call!" The sausage vendor was definitely the first to know that Xu Si was back, so she had prepared a portion for him long ago.
"Brother Dao!"
"How have you guys been lately?"
Xu Si didn't refuse, because there would be scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner.
Where did the eggs come from?
"It's fine, but Doubao is always playing with mud and often gets me covered in it, so I have to wash my clothes every day."
"Where did this puppy come from?" Sausage looked at [Melting Prison Sniper], which was sitting quietly and upright at Xu Si's feet, and liked it very much. In their rural area, almost every family had a dog.
As she spoke, she actually reached out to touch it, and Fu Xiaojian noticed it as well.
Shocked, they tried to stop it, but it was too late.
However, the little dog, exuding an air of superiority, allowed the sausage to touch it freely.
"It's a pity it's not yellow; the yellow ones look the best!" said the teammate's dog, who had his own interpretation of the sausage.
【Melting Prison Sniper】's lips twitched, and he reluctantly changed his skin.
"Ah! Good dog!"
Seeing the dark creature in front of him turn into a yellow dog with white skin, the sausage was overjoyed.
Fu Xiaojian's hand holding the rice bowl froze in mid-air, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down several times.
His sequence perception was frantically warning him—the energy contained within this "yellow dog" was enough to wipe the entire City of Fire off the map.
But now, it's squinting its eyes, enjoying the caress of the grilled sausage, just like a real, comfortably petted Chinese rural dog.
"Old Xu," Fu Xiaojian said in a low voice.
"What... what did you bring back this time?" Fu Xiaojian tried to be careful, not knowing if Xu Si could save him if this guy got angry.
"Bring it back to guard the gate." Xu Si picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.
"These are eggs? Where did they come from?"
A sweet and sour flavor melts on the tongue; the eggs are tender and the tomatoes are soft and mushy. It is an ordinary home-cooked dish before the apocalypse, but it seems especially precious now.
"We'll talk about the eggs later. Are you serious about this?" He leaned closer to Xu Si and whispered.
It's a strange creature in a high position; even a contract couldn't restrain it, right?
If we leave this guy in the city, and if Xu Si is no longer around, then...
The [Melting Prison Sniper] lying on the ground looked up at Fu Xiaojian and told him to speak properly.
This guy practically forced himself to his death; he'll remember that!
"It's perfect for guarding the gate!" Xu Si said.
"From now on, you'll stay with this little girl! We can eat the monsters outside the city, but if even one less human is lost in the city..."
Xu Si took a big bite of food and casually tossed the energy core of the [Molten Prison Sniper] to the sausage.
"Brother Dao, what's this?"
"This is a dog leash. If this pup bares its teeth at you, just inject sequence energy into it!" Xu Si said calmly.
Fu Xiaojian felt his head explode.
