The group of alien beasts sensed the danger, raised their heads and looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw a huge fireball appearing in the sky.
The fireball was more than ten meters in diameter, with terrifying flames rising from its surface.
When the fireball came directly above the group of alien beasts, it exploded instantly, and countless small fireballs fell to the ground like meteors.
"Roar……!!!"
The group of alien beasts chasing the investigators screamed in terror, and then each alien beast fled in all directions.
Because they were too panicked to escape, a stampede occurred. Some of the weaker beasts were trampled to death by their companions.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The fireball hit the ground and exploded immediately.
The deafening explosions continued, and some strange beasts that had no time to escape were directly killed.
The investigator looked at the scene happening in front of him with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
It happened so suddenly. When everything settled, there was no living beast at the scene, and it was so quiet that there was no sound.
The weak investigator got up from the ground, when a voice sounded behind him.
"Are you OK?"
The investigator turned around and saw a young man appearing not far away.
At this time, the young man was floating in mid-air with a smile on his face.
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me." The investigator knew that the fireball just now was caused by the young man in front of him and thanked him quickly.
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Lin Fei said with a smile.
Then he had a thought, and his telekinesis turned into a hand, lifting the weak investigator up.
"I'll give you a ride."
"Thanks!"
The two people flew towards the edge of the desert and returned to the safe zone not long after.
The investigator stepped on the flat road and felt relieved.
Just as he was about to ask Lin Fei's name, he was nowhere to be seen.
"It looks familiar."
"Have I seen this guy somewhere?"
…………
After Lin Fei rescued the investigator, he set off to the place to eat.
Due to geographical location, meal times vary from place to place.
Lin Fei came to a restaurant. At this time, the locals had not yet arrived for dinner, so when he walked into the restaurant, he easily found an empty seat.
"What do you want to eat?" the waitress asked Lin Fei.
"Let's have some hand-pulled rice, grilled lamb chops, roasted kidneys, and cold cucumbers." Lin Fei looked at the menu and ordered several other things besides ordering a hand-cooked rice.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waitress wrote down the dishes Lin Fei wanted, then turned and left.
After a while, all the dishes Lin Fei ordered were brought to the table. Looking at the fragrant rice, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, nodding with satisfaction.
He has been to this store several times and the taste is always good.
After dinner, Lin Fei did not go home immediately, but went for a walk in the city.
"Ding dong."
The phone in her pocket rang. She took it out and checked. It was a message from Zhou Yue. She asked Lin Fei what he was doing.
"I am shopping."
Lin Fei said, picked up his mobile phone and took photos of the shops on the street and sent them to Zhou Yue.
"Are you going so far to have fun?" Zhou Yue judged Lin Fei's location based on the photo and said in surprise.
"I came here to have dinner, and now I'm just strolling around on the street." Lin Fei explained.
"I also want to visit your place, come and take me there..." Zhou Yue said.
"Okay, I'll go find you now." Lin Fei said, and then used the space teleportation ability in the corner.
Not long after, two figures appeared out of thin air.
"It's so dry here." Zhou Yue muttered, feeling the dry air.
"There is no way, there is a desert not far away, it would be strange if the air is not dry." Lin Fei said.
The two people walked along the street and soon came to a place where many people gathered.
There are many shops here, and there are many people traveling here, so it is particularly lively.
…………
Spirit world.
It was getting dark, and there were gradually more and more people on the street.
Because there was a swarm attack in the morning, now that the problem has been solved, everyone wants to come out and relax.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the inn after dinner and wandered on the street.
This afternoon he went out to the city to collect herbs. Although the process was dangerous, overall it went smoothly.
After handing over the task and earning a sum of money, he thought he would continue working on the task tomorrow.
If the current mission progress is followed, it won't take long for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead to collect the money to purchase weapons.
Once he collects the money and buys weapons for his friend, he can almost leave the city.
People and cars were coming and going on the street. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking slowly on the street.
There was someone hawking something on the street not far away, and you could see it was a young child.
Children of poor people have long been in charge of their own business, so it is not easy for such a young child to come out and sell things.
Two people wearing bamboo hats and unable to see their faces bought something at the children's stall.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to line up behind him and waited for the man in the black hat to buy something and leave. He also bought some.
"This pastry is quite delicious."
“When I’m about to leave, buy some to eat on the road.”
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked around the street for a while and saw many soldiers passing by.
He thought for a while and decided to go back to the inn to rest, so as to avoid some possible troubles.
…………
The next morning, the sun rose in the sky, and the golden sunshine splashed on the earth.
The clouds in the sky were illuminated by the morning sun and were dyed with a layer of golden lace.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes, got up and got out of bed. He went back to the inn very early yesterday to rest, so when he got up today, he was very energetic.
After a simple breakfast, he shouldered his backpack, picked up his weapon, and headed to the place where he received the mission.
It was early in the morning, and there were a lot of people at the place where the mission was received. This was something that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not expect.
It seems that these people came here early in order to earn more money.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead moved slowly among the crowd, and then he came to a place with fewer people.
There are many tasks posted on the notice board in front of you, but they are all quite dangerous, so there are very few people reading the tasks here.
"It's another task to collect herbs, and it's the same place I went to yesterday."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw a similar mission, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and took down the mission from the notice board.
After accepting the mission, it’s time to leave the city.
Because it was a bit far from the city gate, it would take a lot of time to go there on foot, so the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead called a carriage on the roadside.
…………
"There are a lot of soldiers at the city gate today. They are on such strict guard because they are worried about something going wrong."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got off the bus at the city gate. At a glance, he saw twice as many soldiers as yesterday guarding the city gate.
A huge motorcade entered the city from outside the city, and soon there was a long queue on the street.
"These convoys are transporting supplies. Looking at the number, they are larger than the convoys we encountered yesterday."
Standing on the side of the road, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the long motorcade and thought in his mind. Then he withdrew his gaze and left from the city gate.
According to the route he traveled yesterday, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took a shorter time to reach his destination.
There are many hills and woods scattered everywhere.
Occasionally, the wind blows, causing the flowers, plants and trees on site to sway gently.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly found the herbs he needed. When he was about to pick them, a group of people suddenly appeared.
"stop."
"Um?"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, turned his head in confusion, then frowned slightly.
"We discovered this herb first," the leader said.
"If you want to rob, just say it clearly and don't beat around the bush with me." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said expressionlessly.
"Now that you said it, I won't beat around the bush. We also need this herb. Anyone who knows better should get out of here."
"Haha... I didn't expect that I would encounter rubbish like you when I went out to do a mission."
"Asshole, you dare to scold us." The group of people suddenly became furious, then drew their weapons and rushed towards the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"boom."
"boom."
"ah……!"
There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took action and quickly defeated these guys.
He looked at the group of people who were screaming and suffering serious injuries and said expressionlessly.
"Hand over all the valuable things you have on you."
In order to survive, money is definitely not important at this time.
After a while, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead left the scene with satisfaction.
"hateful."
"I won't let you go."
"Ouch."
The group of people looked at the departing back of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, and said harsh words inwardly.
"I didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest this time. I originally planned to do a few days of tasks to collect the money. Now I can collect the money by selling the valuable things these people handed over."
The leader of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself peacefully, and then he quickened his pace and returned to Zecheng.
…………
Two figures wearing bamboo hats were walking on the street. They were not far from the city lord's mansion.
"This city lord is really luxurious." The short investigator looked at the many luxurious carriages parked at the door of the city lord's mansion and said in a low voice.
"After all, you are the lord of a city, how can your life be so bad?" the tall investigator said.
The two of them finished breakfast this morning and immediately came out of the inn to continue collecting information about the city.
Everything has gone smoothly these past few days, and they have collected a lot of relevant information about the city.
According to the current progress, it should be possible to complete the task of collecting intelligence ahead of schedule and then return to the base camp.
"Da da da……"
The crisp sound of horse hooves sounded in the street, quickly attracting the attention of countless passers-by.
Everyone looked towards the end of the street and saw a long motorcade driving fast down the street.
The leading coachman stopped at the gate of the city lord's palace, and the carriages following him also stopped.
The surrounding passers-by stood on the roadside and watched. Under everyone's gaze, boxes were unloaded from the carriage one by one and then moved into the city lord's palace.
"These chambers of commerce also made offerings to the city lord's palace."
"It's almost time."
"No, I don't remember that I didn't pay so early last year."
Passers-by were talking a lot, and the two investigators pricked up their ears to listen.
After a while, all the boxes were moved into the city lord's palace, and then the convoy left.
"Let's go too!" the tall investigator said, and the two of them walked towards the inn.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The door to the guest room opened and the two investigators returned to the guest room.
They took off their bamboo hats and drank from the teapot on the table.
"I've been busy all day today and collected a lot of information. Let's take a half-day break tomorrow!" the short investigator suggested.
"Okay!" The tall investigator nodded, then he opened the space spiritual weapon, took out a thick notepad, and recorded the relevant information collected today.
…………
At the entrance of the weapons store, the enthusiastic waiter said to the departing customers with a smile on his face.
"see you next time."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waved his hand, then walked towards the carriage on the roadside with the weapon he just bought.
"Drive." The groom waited for the guests to get on the carriage and immediately shook the reins.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was sitting in the carriage, looking at the weapons he had just bought, with a smile on his face.
Not long ago, he returned to the city, handed over the collected herbs, and received a sum of money for completing the task.
Afterwards, he took the loot to a pawn shop and sold it, earning another large sum of money.
Today's two incomes suddenly gave the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead money to buy weapons.
He came to the previous weapons store and quickly bought the weapons he needed under the warm hospitality of the waiter.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead touched the weapon he had just bought, thinking that his friend would definitely like it when he saw it when he returned.
Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped at the door of the inn.
As soon as I walked into the inn, I found that the inn was a little quiet.
"Sir, are you back?"
"Why is the inn so quiet today?"
"Other guests have gone out to watch the show, so the store will be a little quiet today."
"watch the show?"
"My guest, don't you know? At this time of year, there will be a celebration in the city."
"I see."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded to the waiter, and then ordered the waiter to serve a table of food.
Returning to the guest room, he put away the weapons he bought, and then thought about whether he should go out to watch the reported celebration in the city at night.
