Chapter 1628 If anything goes wrong, it's my fault!

The atmosphere of genuine emotions always immerses people and makes it hard to leave.

An ordinary person would probably be too preoccupied to consider anything else at this moment.

But Xu Xiao is no longer the clueless person he was when he first arrived in the Palu Star Belt.

Not only because he experienced mining crises and guided the liberation of Palu slaves multiple times, but his own experiences also cultivated a cautious and prudent personality.

Furthermore, recently, Ma Han has been frequently talking in her ear, describing his past experiences with Lu Li and marveling at how cautious and meticulous Lu Li's plans and actions were.

Under this kind of subtle influence, Xu Xiao changed.

Even in the current environment, it is necessary to remain vigilant.

The outstretched spiritual tendrils quickly detected the anomaly.

As the woman's gaze swept across the area, a small clump of foul-smelling liquid burst out next to an oil lamp in the corner of the shed.

It seemed as if something unseen had been gently crushed.

The people of Palu didn't notice this detail; they just kept thanking the woman.

Inside another shed.

Ma Han was arm in arm with Minier, a Paluman man, as they chatted and ate skewers.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, his smile froze, and he abruptly swung his arm in a certain direction towards the shed.

The wooden stick flew out of his hand and quickly burst into fierce flames in mid-air.

Finally, it was pinned to the wall with a snap.

The Parumaite, Mainil, belatedly realized what was happening, and staring at the flames on the wooden stick that had been extinguished by an unknown liquid, cried out in horror:

"Brother Ma, what happened?!"

"It's nothing, just a tagalong." Ma Han, having confirmed the target had been killed, feigned nonchalance and withdrew his gaze, saying:

"Brother Ma, you keep eating. I'm going to check on the squad leader."

"Oh, okay!" Mynier knew that Ma Han didn't tell him the details because he couldn't help, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But as the other person left, I couldn't help but take a couple more glances.

As Ma Han walked out the door, he saw Xu Xiao leaving the shed not far away.

He immediately jogged over and reported what had just happened.

"I've lost count of how many times this has happened." Xu Xiao sighed softly, his expression grave.

“This leech has been watching us the whole time. If we don’t find out who’s behind it and kill the mother worm, the offspring will keep appearing.”

"If we are not careful one day and the angiosperm successfully infiltrates the body, the situation will be very bad."

"What is the maximum communication distance for this kind of pet?" Ma Han asked, then immediately offered a suggestion:

"How about I just have Sister Wu come over? She can use her [Tracking] skill to find out who's been spying on us!"

"These kinds of beast pets are special. The connection between the mother and offspring isn't solely based on mental power; the maximum distance they can communicate can be extremely far," Xu Xiao murmured, then asked with slight surprise:

"【Tracing】 can also find the owner based on the pet? I remember it could only find players, right?"

"Why don't you just give it a boost?" Ma Han shrugged and said.

"It can definitely amplify the talent effect alone!"

"Moreover, Sister Wu herself said that if her [Tracing] skill could be upgraded to a higher level, it would definitely be able to pinpoint the types and scope of targets."

"Okay." Xu Xiao nodded, lost in thought:

"I reckon they're mostly from the slave trade..."

"Who cares what it is? Once we call Sister Wu over and she investigates, the whole truth will come out!"

“But I promised Nikita that I would liberate the Palu Belt by myself…” Xu Xiao raised his head, his eyes full of hesitation.

"Then consider it as me calling in to help!" Ma Han puffed out his chest, patting it loudly.

"Look, I volunteered to come and help, and Nikita didn't say anything, did she?"

"This..." Xu Xiao was still a little conflicted:

"Things seem to be getting a bit turbulent over there lately, so Sister Wu might not be able to get out..."

Ma Han had already opened the data panel and quickly sent out a string of text.

After a moment, he responded directly:

"Okay, I've already made the arrangements. Sister Wu said she'll be here first thing tomorrow morning."

"Class monitor, you're now a chosen one, so your mission has a very high priority."

"Moreover, if this matter is not dealt with, I am worried that if it drags on any longer, it will lead to a major disaster!"

"Well... what you said makes some sense." Xu Xiao nodded in agreement and opened the data panel, saying:

"Then I need to report to Pan Xiaoxiao about the relevant personnel changes."

Although those endless trolls are indeed annoying,

However, it was merely surveillance from beginning to end and did not cause any substantial harm.

If it weren't for the fact that a planet had just been liberated and was relatively free,

Xu Xiao didn't have the extra energy to dig deeper.

Ultimately, the problem is a lack of manpower.

The Paru people were useful and played an irreplaceable role in the liberation process.

But there are still too few 'all-around' assistants like Ma Han.

If it doesn't cause trouble for anyone, she naturally hopes that as many people as possible will come from Earth.

Pan Xiaoxiao's response was very timely, as if she had been waiting for her message by the data panel.

Upon learning that Wu Siyuan was needed to help, he immediately agreed and offered his full support.

They even thoughtfully asked if we wanted to "buy one get one free," and sent Wu Siyuan's boyfriend, Lin Shou, along as well.

Xu Xiao's response was naturally negative.

After all, she didn't want to trouble too many people.

But Pan Xiaoxiao insisted that the situation on Earth has been relatively optimistic recently, and the pressure is not too great.

Moreover, only Wu Siyuan was transferred, without moving Lin Shou, which felt like a forced separation of the young couple.

"When did Xiaoxiao start thinking about this kind of thing..."

Xu Xiao frowned slightly and muttered something to herself.

Clearly, she couldn't understand why Pan Xiaoxiao, who usually presented herself as absolutely rational, had become so temperamental at this moment.

But the next second, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of Ma Han rapidly typing on the data panel, and she immediately understood everything.

It's likely that her old classmate was making unreasonable demands in private, which caused Pan Xiaoxiao to act so strangely.

"Ma Han, did you suggest to Pan Xiaoxiao that Lin Shouye come over as well?"

Xu Xiao crossed her arms and pretended to be angry as she questioned him.

"Huh? No, how could that be!" Ma Han stammered, caught off guard.

However, he quickly feigned composure and said:

"Pan Xiaoxiao said Lin Shou is coming too? Sigh, I know that guy, he's definitely going to miss his Sister Wu..."

Xu Xiao narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze full of scrutiny: "Really?"

"If you lie to me, we're no longer friends."

Ma Han's exaggeratedly curved lips twitched, and he immediately softened his stance, saying:

"Okay, fine, it was my request."

"Squad leader, you really need help!"

"You're working too hard all by yourself."

“But I can’t guarantee their safety.” Xu Xiao frowned.

"Nothing will happen," Ma Han replied earnestly.

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame."
