Chapter 8 The Eighth Little Tail

The coordinate point of the second data detector was at the bottom of a lake. Jiang Mu and Jiang Cancan took turns driving and didn't reach the destination until the afternoon of the next day.

The air by the lake was humid and it had just rained. A gust of wind blew over, and the water vapor covered people's faces.

Ling Chen wore a black combat uniform with silver edges, his pants tucked into his combat boots, leaning on the ground, with no posture, and his voice was lazy, but the content of his words was extremely inspiring, "Kill the water spider that was brushed out of the lake, install the detector, and we can jump into the lake to take a bath!"

Jiang Cancan howled, jumped onto the chair and squatted, holding the assault rifle with an excited expression, "Go, go, go! Go, go! Master Can, I want to take a bath!"

This time, maybe the reward was too tempting. Although the wind direction was still not normal, Jiang Cancan managed to keep the shooting rate at 80%, killing three legs of the water spider by himself.

The battle ended quickly. Ye Xiao jumped high and stabbed the water spider in the abdomen. He then held the handle of the sword with both hands and cut it vertically. Soon, the four-meter-long water spider turned into black powder and disappeared.

A minute later, the four people were soaking in the lake, with only their heads exposed.

Jiang Cancan, who had already swam a few laps in the lake, patted the water with his hands, "Master Can, I haven't taken a bath for four days! Four days! Every morning when I wake up, I worry that I will stink to death!"

Ling Chen was in a rare good mood and did not stop him. His eyes fell on Ye Xiao, who was an arm's length away from him, "Are you comfortable?"

"Comfortable!" Ye Xiao nodded and replied, his hair was soaked and his face was full of water. Maybe because of being soaked in water, his skin showed a cold white color, like white porcelain. But there were many scars and old wounds on his skin all over his body, new and old, of different sizes, which should have been very dazzling, but Ling Chen felt that it did not destroy the beauty at all.

Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Cancan who was splashing water on Jiang Mu, and moved his hands and feet to Ling Chen's side, whispering, "Captain."

Ever since Ling Chen put a communication device on him and added him to the team channel, Ye Xiao has been calling Ling Chen like this.

Ling Chen reached out and brushed back the strands of hair that were stuck to his forehead, lowered his eyes and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xiao looked away and said, "I... don't have any extra clothes."

The backpack he brought when he entered Area D was lost, so naturally he had no clothes to change.

Ling Chen's eyes darkened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He leaned closer to Ye Xiao and asked, "Then wear mine?"

Ye Xiao nodded, worried that Ling Chen didn't like others wearing his clothes, and quickly added, "Brother Cancan and Brother Xiao Mu's clothes are fine, I don't mind."

The smile on Ling Chen's mouth disappeared, and his voice was slightly deep, "Wear mine, there is no other choice." After that, he turned around and swam to the side.

Ye Xiao stayed where he was, kicking the water with the back of his feet, not quite understanding why Ling Chen was suddenly unhappy. He stared at Ling Chen's back, and then he found that there was a tattoo on Ling Chen's right shoulder blade, with a lion's body and an eagle's head, like the griffin in the legend.
