Because Li Xia took care of this beast's den in one go, the experimental team's gains were indeed considerable.

Twenty-seven monsters, excluding the five that were shattered by Li Xia's spiritual power, harvested a total of sixteen crystals.

Although the quality is average, the mosquito legs are also meat.

If you absorb it all, there will be some improvement.

Everyone looked at Li Xia's backpack full of monster crystals, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Of course, except Xu Xiao.

I originally thought of picking up a white wolf with empty gloves, but it turned out that the wolf was not harnessed, and I had not only used a few spiritual weapons, but also almost lost my life.

No matter how happy the people in the experimental team laugh, how depressed they feel.

"Brother Xu, it turns out you were really a demon slayer before. I always thought you were bragging."

Huang Mao said with some surprise.

After learning that Xu Xiao was really a demon slayer, he looked at Xu Xiao with more admiration than usual.

Xu Xiao sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "What's there to brag about?"

"Whether it's a demon slayer or a butcher, it's just an identity."

After the words fell, Li Xia in the car rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and said lightly: "Are you okay?"

"What are you urging? Right now!" Xu Xiao said angrily.

As he spoke, he hung the traction rope in his hand on the hook of the pickup truck chassis.

"Well, come here."

Xu Xiao was about to get into the pickup truck when he was suddenly stopped by Li Xia.

"What's up?"

Li Xia glanced at Xu Xiao hesitantly and whispered: "How about you drive it."

Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what Li Xia meant by this.

After hesitating for a long time, he let out a confused sound.

"Just in time, I have something else to ask you."

With that said, Li Xia opened the car door and made an inviting gesture towards Xu Xiao.

Although he was deeply puzzled by Li Xia's operation, Xu Xiao finally got into the car.

After all, how many men can resist the temptation of v12 big g?

Sitting on the big G and stroking the high-quality leather steering wheel, Xu Xiao's depression was instantly wiped away.

At this moment, he was so excited that even his breathing was a little short.

Fire up, put into gear, start.

"Buzz!"

Hearing this beast-like roar, Xu Xiao could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and let out a weird and weird laugh.

Everyone in the car took a deep breath when they saw this.

Quickly fasten your seat belt, hold on to the armrests, and raise your heart to your throat.

I thought the driver was an experienced driver and the road back would not be so bumpy.

As a result, a crazy batch came...

After walking back for about ten kilometers, Xu Xiao's excitement finally passed.

He looks much calmer now.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Xu Xiao said leisurely, holding the steering wheel with one hand.

Li Xia paused.

In fact, he just wanted to trick Xu Xiao into driving here. When Xu Xiao mentioned it like this, he really didn't know what to ask.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xia murmured: "Well, I see you are so young, why did you choose to retire?"

Good guy, really good at chatting.

Li Xia's question directly caused Xu Xiao's mood to turn 180 degrees.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao slowly said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just don't want to do it anymore."

"From what you just said, you have taken care of interns before?"

Xu Xiao nodded.

The expression on his face became a little complicated.

"So, did they become demon slayers later?" Li Xia asked.

Xu Xiao shook his head and said solemnly: "They are dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became solemn.

Li Xia also realized that he seemed to have touched this man's weakness.

"Feel sorry."

Xu Xiao didn't respond, but held his hand tighter on the steering wheel.

"They were once just like you, the most outstanding students in the Demon Slayer Tower."

Xu Xiao said lightly, with a touch of sadness that could not be hidden in his tone.

"In the 107th year of the lunar calendar, they graduated from Linghai No. 2 Middle School."

"I'm honored to be their captain."

"We spent three fulfilling and happy years together."

"They are very good and very hardworking. They train almost every day."

"Even on rest days, they will take the initiative to ask me for extra practice."

"Especially the third child, who is already a gifted child, but he still works so hard."

"It was precisely because of their efforts that they became an experimental team in just two years."

"And because of their outstanding performance, I was promoted to intern manager and led the experimental team."

"..."

When saying these words, Xu Xiao's tone was so proud.

As if showing off to others how outstanding his child is, he works tirelessly.

"and after?"

"later…"

Xu Xiao's voice was duller than before, and his expression became serious.

"In the 110th year of the lunar calendar, they carried out their first overseas mission to support the Battle of Lucheng."

"We followed the advance troops to Lucheng."

"Those kids had never experienced a real war, so I kept letting them follow me."

"However, the situation on the battlefield is far more complicated than I imagined."

"Faced with countless monsters, I had to be distracted."

"And it was my distraction that caused the disaster..."

Xu Xiao parked the car on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and took a long puff.

"When the third child died, he was still holding a child in his arms..."

"he tells me…"

Xu Xiao's voice was a little more throaty.

There were tears shining in the corners of his eyes.

"He said to me, Captain Xu, look, I saved this child."

"His body has been broken into two parts, but when he said that sentence, he was still smiling..."

"He smiled so proudly and innocently..."

"He had hoped to become the demon slayer he dreamed of, but it's a pity that I failed to protect him..."

After the words fell, the car fell into silence for a long time.

The cigarette in Xu Xiao's hand had burned out unconsciously.

"So, you blamed yourself for this incident and chose to retire?"

Qin Churan spoke calmly, breaking the silent atmosphere in the car.
