Chapter 374: Strange
-----
Zhao Zhiqi frowned and pondered for a long time, and after a series of battles between the brains and the heavens, she finally opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Yifan with a firm gaze and said, "Brother, the mess is not yours alone, I want to help you clean it up together!"
Zhao Yifan was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, Zhao Zhiqi turned back to his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to clean up the mess we left with my brother, I want to be a responsible person and clean up my own affairs!"
After speaking, she decisively stood beside Zhao Yifan, looked at her father and mother with a firm expression and said, "Dad, Mom, when the matter is over, we will definitely be together again, and I will definitely persuade my brother not to hate Dad!"
Looking at their daughter's determined expression, the husband and wife also showed a smile of relief, and then the ground under their feet began to glow with a slight golden light.
The savior's brows tightened slightly, he looked back at his wife, and asked, "Wife, what are you doing? I haven't finished talking to the children yet!"
However, the woman smiled faintly and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid that you will fight with Yifan again in a while." ”
The old savior blushed and said, "Why, how could it be, no, I will restrain it." ”
But the woman laughed and said, "Okay, do you want to get involved in the affairs of young people?"
"Who said I was going to mix it up?"
"Hehe, if we continue to talk like this, I think you're going to make a move, so let's say goodbye in the end. ”
After speaking, the savior touched the back of his head a little nerve-wracked, then looked at Zhao Yifan and Zhao Zhiqi and said, "Little rabbit cub, if you dare to let your sister lose a hair, I will shoot you to death, understand!"
When Zhao Yifan heard this, his originally shocked face also showed a very impatient expression, shook his hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay, your baby daughter has not lost a single hair for more than 20 years, get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his parents disappeared.
Then Zhao Yifan also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, "Whew, mom is really, why didn't you just take you and your father away." ”
"Humph!"
"Alas, my feet!"
When Zhao Zhiqi heard this, her unhappy mouth pursed, and she stepped on Zhao Yifan's feet angrily, and then left angrily, leaving only Zhao Yifan with a confused face.
He didn't know what he had done wrong, why Zhiqi didn't leave, and then why it was so magical, anyway, he just felt weird.
Finally, he shrugged his shoulders for some reason, and then followed, and couldn't help but ask, "Zhiqi, what's wrong?"
......
On the road after that, Zhao Yifan and the others had a smooth journey, and they did not encounter any large-scale attack of Soul Eater Beasts, and basically some fragmentary Soul Eater Beasts were wandering outside, which was easily solved.
As for the Soul Eater Beasts outside the valley, there was silence outside the valley at this time, there was no shadow of the two Soul Eaters, and under the dim moonlight, this wilderness looked very gloomy.
The menacing Soul Eaters and the portals that had been twisted and opened before had also disappeared without a trace.
......
In the next three days, Zhao Yifan and the others spent it smoothly, and Zhao Yifan did not directly expose the identity of the doctor, but walked to the nearest and largest town, St. Cade City, talking and laughing with everyone.
The grandeur of this town is not comparable anywhere else, because its structure alone has the scale of a dozen small and medium-sized towns, because this area is united, and the city of St. Cayde is the whole thing.
...... ...... within the town
At this time, in the wilderness in the town, Zhao Yifan and the others walked slowly towards the nearest town in front of them, and Noah also said at this time, "When I get there, I will draw blood, and then we will go back to the Infinite City." ”
After Zhao Yifan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "By the way, what happened to the Infinite City?"
Noah replied, "There are a lot of monsters, in order to protect the safety of the people, the Thunder Emperor and the members of the association took those nobles and the common people to leave first, and the doctor insisted on taking you to say that they were going to split up, and they didn't let too many people follow, so we had no choice but to follow." ”
After that, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "If your sister doesn't promise that she will give us the essence blood, we won't come with us, so let's fly separately when the time comes." ”
Zhao Yifan nodded, looked at the doctor suspiciously, and didn't say anything.
And after Zhao Yifan's abnormal behavior in the past few days, the doctor also knew what Zhao Yifan knew, so he didn't care too much about him looking at himself from time to time, but it just made him a little curious, why didn't he tell the matter.
After entering the nearest town, the people walked slowly on the road, this town is not big, but it is not small, people come and go, the road is also very wide, the roadside is full of fruits and vegetables, and the town is basically surrounded by farmland and grain.
Zhao Yifan and they found a hotel at random and opened four rooms, and their lineup really scared everyone in the store, but Lilian and they just chose to stay downstairs, and Noah followed them upstairs.
The room is not big, just a single room, but at this time, the five people are in this room, because the doctor is responsible for drawing blood, Noah is responsible for collecting it, and Wang Xinyu is naturally unwilling to be left alone.
Immediately, with the help of the doctor, Zhao Yifan and Zhao Zhiqi's blood was quickly extracted, and Noah carefully took the blood vial, and then put it into his stereotyped backpack.
Although the backpack is small, it has a lot of things inside, not only has a refrigeration system, but also has many small round holes in the backpack.
After stuffing Zhao Yifan and Zhao Zhiqi's blood vials into two of the small holes, he smiled at the two of them with satisfaction, "Okay, let's leave." ”
After that, he also looked at the doctor and asked suspiciously, "Doctor, are you sure you won't go back with us?"
The doctor shook his head decisively, "I won't go back for the time being, I'm very afraid of death, and I will naturally go back when the matter in Infinite City is over." ”
As he spoke, he calmly lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, while Zhao Yifan looked at the doctor thoughtfully.
He knew the doctor's calculations very well, and he also knew the reason why the doctor didn't go back.
It is one thing to say that he is afraid of death, and the other point is that in fact, he knows that the Soul Eater Beast is here to find him, and as long as there is a place for him, it will naturally not be peaceful, so Zhao Yifan did not plan to spend the night in this town, but waited for Noah and them to leave, buy some things on the road and leave here.
Seeing that the doctor was reluctant to leave, Noah's expression was a little complicated, but he was helpless, so he could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay, then you should be careful yourself." ”
The doctor calmly spit out a puff of smoke and said, "Whew~, if I don't die, it means that my life has not been exhausted, and if I am destined to die this time, it can't be stopped." ”
As he spoke, his eyes also glanced at Zhao Yifan as if he were nothing, but it was only a faint glance, very inconspicuous, but he was seen by Zhao Yifan in his eyes.
Then Noah nodded, exchanged a few words with the crowd, told them to be careful, and left.
After Noah left, Zhao Zhiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had been worried about it these days, afraid that she would encounter a tide of soul devouring beasts as large as the wilderness on the road.
"Hehe, we're safe for the time being, brother, where are we going to eat at night?" Zhao Zhiqi asked with a grin.
However, Zhao Yifan flicked Zhao Zhiqi's forehead lightly and said, "You are stupid, what are you staying, you can't walk if you stay any longer." ”
With that, he patted the doctor on the shoulder, then crossed his back to him and hooked his fingers, motioning for him to come with him.
Zhao Yifan's move made Zhao Zhiqi and Wang Xinyu very different, and just as they were about to keep up, Zhao Yifan's voice sounded, "You stay here." ”
The two glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubt.
And the doctor sighed slightly, thinking.
The one who should come will still come, I hope he doesn't drive me away......
Thinking about it, he pressed the cigarette butt to the ashtray on the bedside table, then sighed and left with Zhao Yifan.
Zhao Yifan didn't take him very far, but walked straight into the opposite room, and then turned around and locked the door.
The doctor stood in the room, looked at Zhao Yifan, and after seeing him lock the door, he raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "Huh~, okay, are you going to drive me away now?" Or ...... You're going to kill me here?"
As he spoke, the doctor's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his voice became gloomy.
Zhao Yifan turned his back to the doctor, touched his head and said, "Alas, did I kill you......
As he spoke, he turned his head blankly and smiled, "What are you talking about?
The doctor frowned slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yifan took a deep breath, his face returned to normal, and said lightly, "Although I don't know why you didn't tell everyone about your situation, of course, it can also be understood that you don't know, but looking at your actions, and you want to choose two ways, it should be able to judge that you should know that the target of the Soul Eater is you." ”
The doctor looked at Zhao Yifan's calm face, his expression was calmer than his, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and then took a puff and said, "Hiss~, if I say it, I will definitely be driven away, because"
"Because of your special status. Zhao Yifan interrupted the doctor's words, and then continued, "Five people with special abilities, you are one, I should only know you and Mara Shaon, you two are the targets of the Soul Eater." ”
The doctor nodded, looking at Zhao Yifan, his eyes were also a little complicated, and he said lightly, "It seems that you have seen it." ”
Zhao Yifan nodded, "Yes, he is white, he looks like a spoof, a stickman, he speaks in a weird way, and his face is full of smiles." ”
When the doctor heard this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered to himself, "Heh, is there a lot of smiles on your face......
However, Zhao Yifan didn't care about the doctor's self-talk at all, and instead asked, "How did the Soul Eater Beast follow you?"
That's right, one of the most important questions now is how exactly the Soul Eaters found the five of them, and whether they felt like they were tracked down so that they could react in time.
However, the doctor shook his head and said, "I don't know, they seem to be able to sense our existence, although I don't know how other people feel, but as long as there is a Soul Eater near me, I will become extremely uneasy, it should be a kind of telepathy, but I don't know." ”
Zhao Yifan was a little disappointed after hearing this, because he didn't get a good result, but he nodded.
"Okay, since I picked on this matter, I will naturally be responsible, you can follow us for the time being. ”
When the doctor heard this, his eyes became a little dim, "It's useless, that thing can't be killed, the only way is for me to die, otherwise the monster will always chase me." ”
"I'm going to reseal that thing, it's just a matter of time, we just need to circle the earth once, and as for the Eater of Souls, as long as we keep moving, your breath won't be captured. ”
After that, Zhao Yifan opened the door and bumped into the two people who were eavesdropping at the door.
Zhao Yifan looked at Zhao Zhiqi and Wang Xinyu who were eavesdropping speechlessly, and before the two had time to be embarrassed, Zhao Yifan said loudly, "So do you hear me? We need to circle the earth!"
"Wow~!"
"Ears, ears are going to be deaf!"
The two of them were shocked by Zhao Yifan's voice and covered their ears.
However, Zhao Yifan walked over the two of them towards the downstairs with a blank expression, and said at the same time, "Let's go quickly, before the doctor has summoned the Soul Eater Beast, let's leave here first." ”
"Oh, really, brother, I'm tired~. ”
"Well, you can still rest at night. ”
Zhao Zhiqi and Wang Xinyu followed while plucking their ears.
And the doctor, who had been staying in place, also came back to his senses at this time, sighed helplessly, and then shook his head and followed the three of them.
After Zhao Yifan went downstairs, he decisively retreated from the room under the different eyes of the clerk, and the clerk also asked with a puzzled face, "The four are objective, is the room not good? ”
However, Zhao Yifan smiled and said, "No, the room is very good, but we are in a hurry and plan to continue on the road, thank you." ”
Immediately, the four of them bought some tools and food on the way, and then went on the road with their bags on their backs.
They didn't buy much, they were light, and the only big thing was a sword that Zhao Yifan bought from the blacksmith and threw it to the doctor, and then said, "You have to learn to protect yourself on the way." ”
......
The territory of St. Cade City is very large, there are many towns, Zhao Yifan and they have been spared in the wild all the way, and basically they can find a random town to buy some supplies when they run out of food.
But after a few days, not only did they not see a single soul eater beast on the road, but it seemed to be very calm, and it seemed that it had gone too far, which made Zhao Yifan a little suspicious.
"Doctor, are you sure you don't feel unwell?" Zhao Yifan asked with a frown on the path of a farmland.
But the doctor shook his head and said, "No, maybe there is an enchantment here, and the Soul Eater can't sense me?"
If that was the case, the doctor would have simply stayed here, because if the barrier could block out his scent, then staying here would be no more than an option.
However, Zhao Yifan shook his head and said, "No, I don't feel right, the Soul Eater can tear open the portal, and it is impossible for a monster in another space to be stopped by a mere enchantment, there must be something wrong." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhiqi complained weakly, "Come on, brother, you are too memorable, I think you are too tired, you haven't rested well in the past few days......"
As she spoke, she yawned a lot, and then continued, "I've been on the road, you must have broken your nerves too hard, and if you want me to say, you just lack rest." ”
As soon as the words fell, even Wang Xinyu chuckled and said, "Yes, in the three days that we took you out of the Infinite City, we didn't encounter any Soul Eater Beasts, that is, we were suddenly surrounded that day." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yifan's eyes suddenly widened, his eyeholes suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly shouted, "This is it!"
This startled the three of them, and then Zhao Yifan seemed to think of something, and said with some excitement, "That's right, you haven't encountered a Soul Eater for several days in a row, and then suddenly you were surrounded! That is to say, our current time and space are different from the time and space of the Soul Eater Beast, and now we are estimated to have been surrounded a long time ago, probably because there is an enchantment here, and they can't tear apart the space inside the town." ”
Maybe it was because the rest was not very good, so everyone listened a little foggy, Wang Xinyu asked with a puzzled face, "So?
However, Zhao Yifan shook his head and said, "I saw it at the time, the moment the stone fell, I saw a twisted purple portal in mid-air, and the soul eater beast came out of it, that vortex is not a portal, it is space, and the Dragon Domain, it is another different space in this world, they can't enter, so they simply surround the entire town, and then step on it together, they are accumulating strength!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yifan hurriedly looked back at Wang Xinyu and asked, "Wilderness, how many soul devouring beasts have you seen?"
Wang Xinyu shook his head blankly and said, "At least 10,000." ”
Immediately, Zhao Yifan counted "10 days, 10 days, 10 days......"
As he spoke, Zhao Yifan's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shook his thumb very embarrassed.
The doctor saw that Zhao Yifan's face was a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help but ask, "What...... What's wrong?"
"Ten days, three days can gather more than 10,000 soul eaters, ten days, enough to level this town......"
When Zhao Zhiqi heard this, she immediately questioned, "That's impossible, no matter how many of them are, there is an upper limit, and it can't be endless." ”
However, the doctor's face was very embarrassed, and he shook his head and said, "No, the Soul Eater Beast's reproductive ability is very strong, and I don't know if the loose seal will let the mother beast be released in large quantities, if the mother beast comes out, for so many days, it is estimated that the number of Soul Eater Beasts will already exceed 10 billion, and it will be more than enough to level this world." ”
Zhao Zhiqi's face turned white with fright when she heard it, "Doesn't that mean...... We've already lost?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Yifan.
However, Zhao Yifan replied very calmly, "There are restrictions on the door of the different space, they can't come out at one time, and the time for each opening of the door of the different space is also limited, and they can only come out one by one, it's just that they can't finish the kill, it's not that they will lose." ”
After all, the seal was simply loosened.
