When Ash regained consciousness, he felt someone in his arms.

He blinked and looked down slowly...

Then I saw a pair of long black and white silk legs.

The witch put her legs on him, curled up like a child and lay in Sword Princess's arms. Although Ash was relieved that there was no operator in his arms, he couldn't let go of being used as a footrest by the witch——

And the witch hasn’t taken off her boots yet!

When Ash woke up, Sonia also regained consciousness. She first felt the warm and soft touch in her arms, blushed slightly and looked over. She was relieved when she saw it was the witch, and then turned around to see Ash.

Noticing the reproach in Ash's eyes, Sonia twitched the tip of her nose slightly, curled her lips to avoid looking at Ash, and pushed the witch: "Get up!"

Diya sat up sleepily. Her hair color had returned to normal. She yawned and said, "I'm so exhausted..."

"I remember that Sword Girl and I probably couldn't swim across the Liujin River..." Ash said while squinting at Sonia, who just pretended not to see him.

"I pulled you up." Diya said, "But I was not stupid enough to turn back in the Liujin River. Instead, I climbed to the shore first and then pulled you to the shore."

Sonia was so ashamed that she blushed to her ears - she was actually called an idiot by the witch, and she couldn't refute.

"But what are you using to pull us..." Ashi knew the answer halfway through his words.

Aquatic line!

He and Sword Princess both have aquatic threads arranged by the witch on their necks! Originally this was just a 'die-in line' to reassure the witch, but unexpectedly it became a 'lifeline' for the witch to save them!

Sonia asked: "But won't you just cut our necks with a water line?"

"I can increase the proportion of the water magic spirit and make the water line soft and tough." Diya spread her palms and said, "For example, the water line I hold with both hands is as comfortable as a bear's hand. No matter how hard I try,

Won't cut my own hands."

"How long have we rested?" Ash asked.

"Probably a few minutes." Diya was not very sure: "I was so tired that I collapsed on the ground after dragging you out of Liujin River."

Ya Xiu opened the map of the virtual realm and found that everything in the surrounding area was normal, and there was no trace of the Heroic Soul Legion. Although Ya Xiu didn't know how long this section of the Liujin River stretched, the Heroic Soul Legion didn't know either - in the commander's map, the Liujin River

Jinhe is the only landmark that cannot be marked, because the location of Liujinhe is different every day, every hour and even every second.

The Liujin River is the trace left by the white bull. The white cow is moving every minute and every second, so the Liujin River is always changing. Generally speaking, there are actually only two Liujin Rivers, corresponding to the two front legs, but the two

The main vein branches into countless branch veins, and the Liujin River is distributed like branches of a tree, forming a normal flowing time and space.

The tributary they just crossed may be a terminal branch, and walk a few dozen meters to one end to reach the end; but it may also be a third-level or even second-level branch, stretching for several kilometers, and the Heroic Soul Army will not be able to attack in a few hours.

come to them.

Having said that, even if the Heroic Soul Legion really had time to rush over, there was nothing Ash could do. Their soul energy had been exhausted just for repairing their soul bodies, and there was no more energy left for walking.

Moving in the virtual realm requires the consumption of soul energy. In the past, it was just because they could take a car, so they were exempted from this expense, but now that the sports cars are scrapped, they have no other means of transportation... Wait, wait?

Ash suddenly remembered that the substitute could carry him on his back, right?

Although he can only summon one substitute, but the substitute is carrying him, he is carrying the Sword Girl, and the Sword Girl is carrying the Witch, forming a four-person Jenga form, can't they also move normally?

When Ash put forward this suggestion, he was unanimously opposed by the Sword Lady and the Witch.

Sonia: "How far can the substitute go? If the Heroic Soul Legion really comes to find us, the substitute will never be able to escape. If the Heroic Soul Legion cannot find us, we can leave after staying here for a few dozen minutes. There is no need to make any extra trouble."

"

"Just thinking about it makes me feel weird." Diya said: "But the avatar can still be used like this... Speaking of which, is the avatar a rare magic spirit?"

"It doesn't belong to me." The village girl shook her head: "But it is of little use. The avatar cannot inherit the magic spirit of the magician, nor can it speak and perform precise operations, and it will collapse at the touch of a touch. It can only play a pulling role in the battle.

, that is, being able to take charge of some simple housework in daily life, but the substitute magic spirit eats a lot, and has to eat a silver coin every few days, which is two or three times that of an ordinary magic spirit... If it is a particularly lazy magician,

Maybe I will buy a substitute magic spirit specially."

Diya nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Indeed."

Ya Xiu also gave up this idea. After all, because of the Liujin River, the nearby area is actually quite safe, and all virtual creatures will consciously stay away from the Liujin River.

If you walk a little further, there might be projections of magicians or wandering fish-killing dragons coming to your door. But if they move around now, they will enter a weak state and be kicked out of the virtual realm. After finally escaping, they violate the contract and everyone will be violently raped.

It would be too unlucky to die.

"Then let's sort out the gains and losses just now." Ya Xiu rubbed his temples: "Sword Princess, you..."

"Witch, it's all thanks to you just now." Sonia stretched out her hand to press Diya's raised hair: "Without you, we would definitely not be able to survive. The witch is the most powerful!"

"Hehe." Diya scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "It's not that powerful..."

"It was indeed the witch who made great achievements this time." Ya Xiu also wanted to reach out and touch the witch to express his praise, but was avoided by Diya: "In comparison, Sword Princess, you..."

"Are we still in the Spider Tower area tomorrow?"

Ash opened the map of the virtual world and looked at it: "The White Bull will be in the Spider Tower area for half of tomorrow night, but the requirement of "mandatory stay for three hours" will only take effect once when "The Bull of the Sky Cart steps into the Spider Tower area."

The next time it takes effect will have to wait until Bai Niu steps into the spider tower area again, which means that even if we don’t come to the virtual realm tomorrow, there will be no problem.”

"Is it okay if the car falls apart? Isn't the newly made Alchemy Throne invalid?"

"It should be fine..."

"That's right, witch, do you know that your tone was very arrogant just now, let me imitate it for you..."

...

...

He was fooled by Sword Girl.

Ash returned to reality, feeling a little depressed.

Sword Girl's action of rescuing people in the Flowing Gold River was so stupid. Ash originally wanted to find an opportunity to give her a good beating, and he had to prove in front of the witch that he could distinguish between public and private affairs and be equally strict with every operator.

Captain Jiben, who demands that he will never protect his pig teammates.

However, Sword Princess showed off her social arrogance at this moment, and Ash was unable to find a chance to interrupt. In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't find any, but whenever Ash wanted to speak, he would be met by Sword Princess's pitiful words.

Xi's eyes interrupted him, forcing him to continue to consider his words.

After Ash had thought up a set of stern yet gentle words in his mind, the work time in the virtual world had already reached three hours without realizing it. Sword Princess clocked out of get off work in an instant, not giving Ash any chance to have a meeting.

But Ya Xiu also knew that it was actually because he didn't want to blame Sword Girl.

After all, he is the leader of a cult and not a living saint. Sword Princess actually dared to turn around and save him in that situation. Even though this approach was wrong and unhelpful, it was strange that Ash was not grateful in his heart.

But Ash needs to think about the team.

In this confrontation with the Queen's Heroic Soul, the cracks in their team's relationship have been fully exposed. Usually it's okay, but when it comes to a real crisis, the witch will subconsciously not trust the two of them. If it comes to a situation where she must give up, the witch will think that she

He was the first secondary player to be abandoned.

In fact, the witch's feeling is indeed right.

It is precisely because of preference that we can distinguish between close and distant ones. Ash is a human but not a god. How could he be 'fair and just' without any emotion at all?

Even the Lord of Blood Moon prefers Blood Saint Moon Shadow.

But if you think this way, you definitely can't do it. Ash must find a way to express his attitude, otherwise the team will sooner or later become seemingly inseparable.

It’s time to show off your true people management skills!

But it’s so troublesome with just three people now. How will we lead the team when it gets bigger in the future...

Ash sighed, and just when he remembered, he suddenly felt someone in his arms.

He looked down and saw another pair of feet.

It belonged to Liz. She was sleeping next to Ash, with her little feet on Ash's belly, and she was drooling while sleeping with her little bear doll in her arms. Ash also remembered that last night Liz said she wanted to sleep with him, and Ash

She thought that since she was going to the virtual realm anyway, it was up to her.

Why do both of them like to use me as a footrest...

It was still dark, so Ash lay back, called out the Gospel, opened "Aurora's Magician's Manual", and a message immediately popped up.
