After returning to the trade road, they could see some infected small animals on the plains from time to time, and from time to time they would be attacked by angry prairie dogs.
These changes were not seen before, just like the blood moon is the signal that the real end is beginning...
Although the minor troubles along the way were easily solved by a few people, frequent harassment still slowed down their progress.
What's more, everyone now carries heavy loads on their backs. They have to stop to rest and drink water after walking for a while. Most of them are doing this out of consideration for Xiang Encai.
Xiang En almost wanted Ma Ji and his little brother to get a stretcher with a steel fork and carry him to avoid wasting time.
The endurance of these warrior professionals is really unreasonable!
Making a complaint in his heart, Xiang En took his finger out of the water bag, worrying about drinking water.
He needs a new spell that can create water. Zhidao can still be used when there are two people, but now that there are more people, Zhidao is not enough.
Seeing that there was no danger around him, Xiang En immersed his consciousness deep in his soul, opened the talent book, and looked for suitable skills in it.
Among the bronze-level skills, there weren't many that could create water out of thin air. After searching for a while, he couldn't find one that satisfied him. They were basically the same as Zhilu, which created very little water.
Skills at this level were not useful, so Xiang En turned his attention to silver-level skills.
found it!
Xiang En's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at a skill in the talent book with a salivating expression.
The Fountain of Innocents consumes 12% of the magic power to transform the water into spring water that can wash away diseases and spirits. The quantity changes based on the amount of magic power consumed.
Everything in the talent book is like some kind of distant memory, some vaguely described skills. As long as Xiang En stares carefully, more specific information about the skills will automatically appear in his mind.
The Pure Spring can purify about ten liters of water with 12% of the magic power consumed, and any liquid with more than 95% water element can be purified into spring water!
The talent book is indeed a treasure, giving Xiang En the confidence to survive.
It takes 7 runes to exchange for "Fountain of the Immaculate", and there are still 6 runes missing. You have to exchange this skill as soon as possible. Wild water is still easy to find.
…
Buzz!
As she was walking, Andrea suddenly saw a transparent bubble-like shield emerging from Xiang En's body. She was startled and thought she was being attacked by something!
After she looked carefully and saw that there was no danger around her, she cast a puzzled look at En.
"Don't pay attention to me, just keep on going." Xiang En didn't explain much and just let them continue on their way.
Paying attention to the three people behind Ma Ji, they all withdrew their gaze after hearing this and continued on their way.
The most important thing now is to hurry up. After all, after experiencing the madness of the monster under the moon last night, they are not sure whether there will be such a weird situation again tonight.
So they are very anxious now and can't wait to fly to their destination right away!
After walking and stopping for ten kilometers, they climbed over a rolling hill. At dusk, they saw a lake at the foot of the hillside and a large manor on the edge of the lake!
When several people looked at it, they saw that the house was a one-story bungalow with a large area, as if it had suffered some kind of impact. There was another large house next to the bungalow, which looked like a place for cattle and horses to live.
What surprised a few people was that Andrea actually knew this place.
"This is Uncle Wright's ranch. I've been here..."
Xiang En slowly turned his head and looked at Andrea.
There was a sad expression on the latter's face. He was obviously moved by the scene. He was sad thinking that someone he knew might die, right
Why…
No matter what, they still wanted to visit this ranch.
It was not easy to find a place to rest. Even if the wooden house below was in tatters and many walls were damaged, it was still better than being exposed to the wild.
Several people accelerated their advance, and at dusk before the sun set, they arrived at the pasture that was visible to the naked eye but had not been touched for a long time.
When they stood next to the ranch house, they really saw how big the ranch house was!
They originally thought it was a one-story house, but it was actually two-story. There was a large vegetable garden next to the house, and it was facing away from the direction they came from, so they didn't see it.
There is a smaller rectangular house next to the vegetable garden. In addition to the sour smell left by the apocalypse, there is also a little smell of poultry manure in the air.
The lake behind the house is not very big. In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it a fish pond. There is a hut next to the fish pond, and next to the hut are a few dotted small trees.
Xiang En looked at the house and saw the vegetable garden and chicken coop on the side of the house, and couldn't help but nod.
This pasture is very good. If there is another chance in the future, he will build one!
From the appearance of the house, we can only see a few signs of being penetrated and smashed, but other than that, there is not much out of the ordinary.
But Xiang En didn't dare to test it rashly. This place used to be a pasture. Maybe the active cattle and horses in the town came from here
If he couldn't find a place to stay and was worried that the night monster would be as violent as last night, he would definitely not go near here.
Now that I'm getting closer, I can't see anything bad except for the strangeness caused by the silence.
The sun was going down, and the afterglow of the setting sun would not last long. They had to make sure that there was no problem with the house before dark, and then find a suitable room to move into.
Xiang En's voice was deliberately lowered. He knew that Ma Ji and the others were people who didn't like to use their brains, so he gave clearer instructions, "Ma Ji, don't scatter. Observe from the window first. If you find anything, Don't make any noise! Enri and I will check another house, remember, don't make any noise!"
Ma Ji wanted to reply out of habit, but was glared back by Xiang En, so he had no choice but to nod angrily to show his understanding.
The tasks were arranged and the five people dispersed.
Andrea also regained her energy and walked in front of Xiang En, towards the half-opened sheep shed next to the dormitory.
As they moved, the backpacks behind the two of them inevitably made a small friction sound, and they stepped on the gravel on the ground, which creaked.
The two of them walked to the half-open door of the sheep house with great vigilance. When they saw the scene inside, they were almost frightened and screamed.
With the help of the afterglow of dusk, Xiang En and Andrea saw several twisted things in the sheep house at dusk.
Because the light was too dark, they could only see the rough outline and the swinging limbs as it moved unconsciously. They couldn't tell whether it was several monsters superimposed on top of each other, or several monsters merged into one, full of mystery and distortion.
Just one glance made Xiang En feel like his head was swollen. He didn't know whether the monster was mysterious or not, but he knew that it would be very difficult if he was discovered by this monster!
The two quietly retreated, staring at the half-open door of the sheep house.
The three people from Ma Ji also came back, with obvious expressions of panic on their faces. Just by looking at the faces of the three of them, Xiang En knew that the situation in the house was not good either.
After making a few gestures to Ma Ji and the other three to leave first, the five people quietly exited the house.
After they were far away, Xiang En took a few people and ran away overnight without any explanation.
None of the four would deny Xiang En's decision, and after seeing such a terrifying scene, they naturally did not dare to stay any longer.
They had just walked two hundred meters when dusk disappeared and was replaced by a full moon.
The five people felt something and looked up nervously.
The full moon, with its strange red light, illuminated the five lost lambs...
