Chapter 4: The Core of Spirits, catching up with the main force
"That's great. This way we have more time to stay away from here. Its legs won't grow back for a while." Zhao Jiayan said in surprise and surprise.
"I heard that there is a spirit core in this thing, do you know where it is?" Yang Yuan thought of the original memory and asked, while refilling the pistol with bullets again.
"Not sure, but I heard that the core of spirits is usually in the chest, and the head is not their key point." Zhao Jiayan replied.
"It's on the left side of the chest, about the same position as the heart." Jiang Yiyi suddenly said with certainty.
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan both looked over in confusion.
Jiang Yiyi said: "I can feel it."
"You... can feel it?" Zhao Jiayan was surprised: "You didn't seem to have this ability before, right? Yiyi, have you awakened?"
Yang Yuan thought about how this little girl had detected danger in advance twice in a row. He couldn't help but feel a move in his heart and looked at her expectantly.
"I don't know. I was very angry when those people left before, and then I found that my... perception seemed to have become very powerful." Jiang Yiyi said uncertainly.
When those people betrayed her before, she was so angry that her hair stood on end, and then at that moment, she suddenly found that she could sense the breath of those people.
But because her physique and strength had not changed at all, she was not sure whether she had awakened at such a young age.
Moreover, I heard that the awakening process requires a high fever, but she did not have a high fever at all.
"You must have awakened, great!"
Zhao Jiayan said in surprise: "If those people know that Yiyi you have become an awakened person, they will definitely regret it. They missed an opportunity to hug you."
Jiang Yiyi showed a rare smile, but then said: "The eldest brother is the big one. Yiyi's ability can only sense, but it cannot kill powerful monsters."
She was very clear about this. Her ability could only seek good luck and avoid evil, but it could not kill the enemy, so it was of little use.
And Yang Yuan was able to break the stone monster's leg joints with a pistol. This kind of thing had never been heard of before.
However, Zhao Jiayan and Yang Yuan don't think so. Her ability, if used well, is very powerful and a super assistant.
"You are all my thighs." Zhao Jiayan said with a smile, feeling very envious in her heart.
Although she was not sure whether Yang Yuan had awakened, judging from Yang Yuan's performance after waking up, especially his ability to kill giant wolves with a pistol and break the stone monster's leg joints——
So she guessed that Yang Yuan might have also awakened, but she was not sure what kind of ability it was. She didn't ask, she just knew in her heart.
But overall, she was very happy. She was in a difficult situation at first, but she suddenly hugged two thighs. No matter what happens in the future, at least she won't be hungry, right?
Yang Yuan smiled, and then fired six shots in succession at the stone monster's chest.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!!”
The bullets fired from the high-quality pistol were very powerful. Almost all six shots hit the same place, directly making a deep crater in the stone monster's chest.
Immediately afterwards, the stone monster trembled and lost movement.
"It's dead." Jiang Yiyi said hurriedly.
Yang Yuan felt happy and asked: "Yiyi, are you sure?"
Jiang Yiyi hesitated for a moment and explained: "There was a strange light on it before, but now the light has disappeared, and the unknown aura has also disappeared. It should be dead."
"That should be dead. I'll take out the core of the spirit. Yang Yuan, please help me keep an eye on it."
Zhao Jiayan immediately took out the rusty knife and walked over. Only she could do this kind of chore.
Yang Yuan took out bullets and reloaded the pistol while paying attention to the stone monster. He was relieved when he saw that the stone monster did not make any movement until Zhao Jiayan approached.
"Yiyi, please pay attention to your surroundings and tell me immediately if there is any movement."
"Yeah." Jiang Yiyi's face tightened, and she felt the movement around her very seriously.
Yang Yuan looked at the pistol data again:
【lv.2:13/10(not upgradeable)】
Sure enough, the level of an item is limited by its own level, and this has been completely verified.
It’s just my own way of gaining personal experience, which I can’t yet determine.
We can only try it after we catch up with the main force.
At this time, Zhao Jiayan used a rusty knife to dig out a shimmering stone with difficulty: "It should be this, right?"
It was the first time she saw this kind of treasure, and she felt a little excited.
It is said that ten spirit cores can be exchanged for a chance to awaken supernatural powers.
This shows how precious the spirit core is.
After humans came to this world, they excavated ancient ruins everywhere and found things from the ancient ruins that could awaken their acquired abilities.
But that kind of awakening requires a price. The military cannot selflessly awaken everyone. Qualifications need to be purchased.
There was no relevant information in Yang Yuan's memory, so he looked at Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi nodded: "This thing in the stone monster contains energy, it should be."
"Very good."
Zhao Jiayan came back with the spirit core and handed it to Yang Yuan: "Put it on you."
"That's fine."
Yang Yuan took the spirit core and sensed it, and found that there was indeed an energy inside, but he could not absorb it, so he put it in his pocket.
"Let's continue on our way. We must catch up with the main force before midnight, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
"Uh-huh."
The three of them continued on their way.
Because Yang Yuan had recovered a little from his injuries, and because the large group was looking for water, they all walked to lower areas, almost all downhill, so the speed was much faster.
The world is much more dangerous at night than during the day, and they simply dare not spend the night alone in the wild.
Even now Yang Yuan and Jiang Yiyi are already awakened ones.
because--
Many of the monsters that appear at night are immune to physical attacks and are very scary.
Perhaps it was because the dangers on this road had been cleared by the large troops, so they did not encounter any danger next.
Stone monsters, which bully the weak and fear the strong, are exceptions. They will not stop dying when encountering weak ones, but they will pretend to be dead when encountering powerful ones or large numbers.
Finally, the sky turned completely dark, and they walked forward for more than two hours, which was around ten o'clock in this world, and they caught up with the large army.
In the distance, you can see dense bonfires in front, and a large number of bonfires surround the military camp in the middle.
There are lights in the military camp, powerful people with supernatural powers are using their powers to dig wells to get water, and a large number of people are queuing up to change the water.
"We're here."
After walking forward for another half hour, when the outermost campfire was only a hundred meters away from them, Zhao Jiayan said in surprise.
Jiang Yiyi also looked surprised.
Yang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was now tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty. If he could not catch up with the large army, he would have to sleep alone in the wild.
But that would definitely be very dangerous. If you encounter evil spirits, you will almost certainly die. They have no means to deal with evil spirits.
In particular, it is difficult for them to find water by themselves. Now they can only rely on the military's superpowers to dig wells to get water. It is said that they have to dig very deep to find underground water, which is difficult for ordinary people to do in a short time.
"The territory inside is occupied, let's set up camp and light a fire on the outermost edge."
Yang Yuan chose a nearby giant tree with a diameter of three meters, peeled off the leaves with his feet, checked to make sure there were no poisonous insects, etc., and then sat down against the trunk.
"Okay, Yiyi, hurry up and find firewood to make a fire, and I'll change the water."
Zhao Jiayan asked Yang Yuan: "Do you need anything? How much meat should we keep?"
Yang Yuan took a breath, thought for a while, and said: "Just keep about five kilograms. We will dry what we can't finish tonight, and replace the excess with water and other foods that are easy to store. It would be best if the salt can be replaced.
