I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 172 Conspicuous Bag

At this time, countless monsters also rushed to the cave entrance, but because of the defensive barrier, they were all blocked outside the cave.

Although the monsters couldn't get in, there were simply too many of them. Now they were all densely packed together, lying on the barrier with their fangs and claws bared.

Visually, it feels like the barrier will be torn apart at any time, which looks very scary.

Some of the timid ones had already started screaming, even though Qi Yan tried her best to explain that the barrier was strong and they were safe.

But it still couldn't stop the fear from gradually spreading among the crowd.

Xiao Qian took the opportunity to stir up trouble: "If some people hadn't run out in the middle of the night, how could they have attracted so many monsters? Who knows if they did it on purpose."

He almost named someone directly when he said this, and the crowd immediately echoed him, and they couldn't wait to start criticizing Qi Yan.

Although the people in Lin Che's group did not join in the condemnation, one could see more or less resentment in their expressions.

"Xiao Qian, you have to provide evidence when you speak. What is your intention in provoking conflict at this time?" Bai Qiu Ning stood up, directly exposed his intentions, and turned the spearhead around.

Before Xiao Qian could say anything, Lan Xi took over the conversation: "We are just raising reasonable suspicions. What could be the ulterior motive? If you want to prove your innocence, why don't you explain clearly why you left in the middle of the night?"

Although his reputation has plummeted now, his words have shifted everyone's attention to Qi Yan again.

For a moment, all the voices were asking Qi Yan to explain, and even Shangguan Jin came over and acted as a "peacemaker."

"Student Qi Yan, you should tell everyone why you went out in the middle of the night. This will also put everyone at ease."

Qi Yan frowned and was about to speak when Lin Che spoke.

"If you feel uneasy, just get out. If he hadn't lured the monster away, giving me time to upgrade the barrier, you would have been beheaded by now."

His voice was not loud, but it carried a natural chill, and the murmurs in the crowd gradually faded.

Especially the members of Lin Che's group, after hearing what he said, they all fell silent.

Although Lin Che spoke little along the way, everyone had already regarded him as the backbone. Compared with the captain Shangguan Jin, in the eyes of everyone, he was more convincing both in terms of combat power and leadership ability.

After Lin Che finished speaking, he walked to the corner, sat down against the stone wall, and closed his eyes, no longer caring about other people's reactions.

Qi Yan was a little flattered. He didn't expect Lin Che to speak up for him. Did this mean that his plan had begun to bear fruit?

However, the members of Lin Che's group have quieted down, but that doesn't prove that the people in Lanxi's group will buy it. Moreover, in these people's hearts, only Shen Mu and his friends are the heroes who protect everyone.

So someone immediately refused to accept it and stood up to refute: "What qualifications do you have to kick us out? If it weren't for Second Young Master Shen, you would have been tortured by the monster without knowing how bad it would be."

"You're right. Some people like to boast even though they don't have any ability."

Perhaps their voices were too loud, Lin Che opened his eyes and looked over coldly.

That look made people feel that he would stand up and grab the collars of the two men and throw them out in the next moment.

The two men were intimidated by this look, and their momentum obviously weakened, because they knew they were no match for Lin Che.

Shen Mu, who had been watching the show from the side, came over. When the two men saw that Shen Mu seemed to stand up for them, their originally flagging momentum instantly became strong again.

Qi Yan looked at Shen Mu and said bluntly: "Second Young Master Shen is going to add fuel to the fire?"

He knew that the root of the conflict did not lie with those few troublemakers. These people lacked the ability to distinguish themselves and were easily instigated.

The more you argue with them, the more they will push their buttons.

Therefore, the most direct way is to solve the problem from the source. Since these people all follow Shen Mu's lead, as long as Shen Mu is solved, the problem will naturally be solved.

"What are you talking about, young master? I have always been on your side."

After saying that, he punched Xiao Qian with lightning speed: "Why don't you apologize to the young master?"

This punch not only stunned Xiao Qian, but also made everyone else look shocked.

Qi Yan frowned, not knowing what he was up to.

But since Shen Mu had already expressed his attitude, he naturally would not hold on to it, so he said: "No need."

"Then I would like to thank the young master for his generosity on behalf of Xiao Qian."

Shen Mu pretended to bow to Qi Yan. It must be said that his bow was very effective. Not only the two people who were causing trouble, but also the others who were talking in unison became quiet.

Qi Yan retracted her gaze and walked to their positions with Rui En and Bai Qiu Ning.

Xie Shu sat by the fire with her arms folded, her expression a little dull, but when she occasionally glanced towards the cave entrance, she revealed deep fear.

Qi Yan looked at the other people in Lin Che's group and saw that most of them had the same expressions as Xie Shu, and she understood instantly.

Although he was confident that the monsters could not break the barrier, he forgot to consider that these people had experienced the death of their friends and teammates in front of them.

In addition to their instinctive fear of monsters from the bottom of their hearts, there is also a shadow.

Thinking of this, Qi Yan contacted Potian in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Potian, you can come back now. All the monsters on the planet are moving towards us. There is no point in defending one side anymore."

"Xiao Yan, what did you say?" Po Tian seemed to be in the midst of killing, and Qi Yan could even hear him cursing.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yan took a deep breath and used all her strength to say, "I told you to come back soon. I'm about to be drowned by the monster tide. If it's too late, you'll be torn into pieces."

There was a moment of silence on the other side. If Qi Yan had not been able to sense Potian's presence, he would have thought that the mental connection was broken.

He thought that Potian was too absorbed in the killing and was about to say it again.

However, explosions suddenly sounded outside the cave, and the next moment the monsters clinging to the defensive barrier were roughly picked up one by one and thrown out like garbage.

Potian used both hands and dug a big hole among the layers of monsters like digging a hole.

Then he leaned half of his body into the cave: "Xiao Yan, where are you, Xiao Yan?"

"Oh, my dear, let me make sure you are safe."

Qi Yan silently covered his face. At this moment, he really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Although he was touched by Potian's concern, this way of appearing was really...

I couldn't help but subconsciously compare in my mind: If it was Obsidian, he would definitely have a handsome appearance, at least not so... stupid.

"Shut up, I'm fine, just get rid of the monsters around here." Helplessly, Qi Yan could only communicate with him in her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Hey, I see you, Xiaoyan, hey, I'm here." Unfortunately, Potian could not understand his "good intentions" at all, and shouted at Qi Yan at the top of his voice.

Shouting and waving at the same time.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention. Ryan touched Qi Yan's arm and said, "Yan Yan, your mecha seems to be looking for you."

"I know." Qi Yan held his forehead with one hand. Even without looking up, he could feel the inquiring gazes of others.

Sighing silently, Qi Yan stood up and walked to the cave entrance.
