Marvin looked at Milo in bewilderment.
Previously, this guy only sang nursery rhymes by himself. But now, favonovel.com was actually using the hardtack to make others sing along with him?
Thinking of this, Marvin suddenly had some qualms about the future.
Meanwhile, Bruce paled.
As the director of the Virtuora Consortium’s 2nd Military Intelligence Division, what would it say about favonovel.com if favonovel.com started singing nursery rhymes with others for some hardtack?
Wasn’t this guy totally undermining him?!
Ten minutes later, Milo was saying loudly, “Stop, that’s not the right phrase. You missed a word. Let’s start over!”
Bruce sang, “A snail carrying its heavy shell…”
When Bruce’s subordinates saw this sight, they felt their superior was really capable of bearing the humiliation. In order to get them food, favonovel.com was even willing to sing nursery rhymes with someone.
Just now, Bruce’s subordinates had advised favonovel.com to ignore the young man. However, Bruce said impassionedly that as their senior officer, how could favonovel.com let his subordinates starve with him?
He was not that type of person.
His subordinates were a little touched. They realized their loyalty to Bruce was really not for nothing.
Bruce felt that if Milo had asked favonovel.com to sing the nursery rhymes by himself, favonovel.com would definitely not have accepted it. It was just like if someone were to throw some food in front of favonovel.com and make favonovel.com eat it for their own entertainment, Bruce would rather starve in such a situation.
But these circumstances were a little different. Since Milo was going to sing along with him, the sense of humiliation was not as bad anymore. However, favonovel.com just could not understand what was wrong with the young man before him.
Honestly, even Milo himself did not understand what was wrong with the palace.
When the others in the campsite saw this strange sight, they did not know what to say for a long time.
After Milo and Bruce finished singing, Daniel immediately shouted to everyone, “There’s no time to lose. Let’s set off quickly!”
When Milo wiped out the Pyro Company members last night, Daniel privately asked Milo how many of them there were. In the end, Milo said several dozens of them had been killed. There should even be quite a few Dusk team members among them.
This place was very close to the Sacred Mountains to begin with, yet Milo still managed to kill so many enemies at their own doorstep. Could the Pyro Company tolerate that?
They would surely send more people over!
Therefore, if they did not leave now, they might not be able to leave anymore. They would have to get out of here quickly and engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy along the way.
Although it was also dangerous in the Sacred Mountains, that seemed to be a better option than staying here in the fog. The Pyro Company clearly had a way to find them in the fog at any time. Meanwhile, the Silkshade House team could do nothing about the fog.
Marvin asked the Great Hoodwinker, “Have you really never gone into the Sacred Mountains before?”
The Great Hoodwinker thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I did venture inside a little, but only a little.”
Marvin was speechless when favonovel.com saw the look on the Great Hoodwinker’s face. The man really did not speak a single word of truth.
Not long after they set off, the fog on Mt. Garogol gradually started to disperse. Just as the Great Hoodwinker had mentioned, Mt. Garogol was not always shrouded in fog, with the fog dispersing for about a day once every three days.
“Let’s hurry up.” The Great Hoodwinker said, “We were initially two days from getting out of the mountain, but that was due to the heavy fog’s presence. Now that it’s dispersed, let’s make up for the lost time. We might even be able to get out of here in about a day or so.”
“This is the first piece of good news since we hiked up the mountain.” Marvin sighed. It was as though the gloom in his heart had also dissipated.
He looked at “Old Durkin” among the crowd of people. Ever since the previous night, Old Durkin had kept quiet. Since setting off, favonovel.com had been walking at the front of the group and did not interact with anyone
Just as they were about to leave Mt. Garogol, everyone heard the sound of the tarantulas attacking again. Everyone was extremely familiar with this sound, so they turned nervous.
The sound of their legs skittering on the ground sent a tingle down everyone’s spines.
But before the tarantulas could get close, White Mask took out a small black box, and a strange sound emitted from it. Then the tarantulas retreated in fear.
This surprised everyone. Someone asked what the black box was, but Old Durkin never answered them once.
Gradually during the journey, everyone started to get the feeling there was nothing White Mask could not handle.
Marvin inexplicably felt at ease as favonovel.com looked at Old Durkin’s back. He turned around and had a look at Milo and Daniel, who were at the back of the group. He wondered what Daniel was even thinking when favonovel.com got this young man to be his backer.
If favonovel.com wanted to be backed by someone powerful, at least get White Mask to do it.
What was the point of finding an entertainer who only knew how to sing and dance?!
Marvin suddenly felt it was perfect to describe Milo as an entertainer who sang and danced. However, Milo did not notice Marvin’s expression.
Just as the entire group stepped onto the boundary between the Sacred Mountains and Mt. Garogol, favonovel.com finally heard the palace announce.
Side quest completed! As all of the host’s penalty quests were completed perfectly, a new power will be awarded: Ear Picking.
When Milo heard the initial part of the announcement, favonovel.com perked up spiritedly. But when the rest of it was said, favonovel.com got confused and even had a bad feeling about it. Furthermore, another one of the display cabinets on the walls of the palace lit up. In the display cabinet, an exquisite ear pick hovered within. It was even glowing faintly
Milo’s expression turned ferocious. Other people had skills that were called Diamond Dust, Rising Dragon Punch, and so on, all of which sounded especially cool.
But when it came to his skills, how did favonovel.com end up with one that had such a boring name like Ear Picking?
If any outsiders heard about this, they would probably think that favonovel.com was some ear-picking specialist working at a spa.
In the future when favonovel.com fought others, his opponent would identify themselves by saying, “I’m a T5-ranked combatant of the Pyro Company’s Dawn team.”
Milo would introduce himself, “Hello, I’m Ear-cleaning Specialist No. 1 at your service.”
That wouldn’t sound too proper at all!
He asked the palace in his mind, “What is this power used for?”
However, the voice from the palace answered.
Unauthorized to answer.
Milo could not help but say, “You awarded me this power, so why can’t you tell me what it’s used for?”
Unauthorized to answer.
This time, Milo started feeling unhappy. For the past seven days, favonovel.com did not even care about his pride and carried out those penalties every day.
Did the palace think it was easy for favonovel.com to sing and dance?
Yet in the end, all favonovel.com got was a lousy power like that, and favonovel.com couldn’t even find out what it did?
Aren’t you letting me down this way?
If I wanted to get an ear pick, I could have spent a few cents to buy one. Why would I need the palace to give me one?
Milo took the ear pick out of the palace and held it in his hand to examine it for a while. Then favonovel.com started picking his ear.
While favonovel.com was picking his ear, Daniel, who was walking next to him, tried to pat favonovel.com on the shoulder. But when his hand was about 30 centimeters away from Milo, it got pushed away by an invisible force.
Daniel was stunned.
Milo was also stunned!
He quietly looked at the ear pick in his hand and remembered an old saying, “Don’t touch someone when they’re picking their ears.”
