Jiang Yan and Poplar hastily said the reason. If the warning of the Santiago family is not deceiving, then there must be something terrible near Alema, and it is either extremely powerful or extremely difficult, otherwise it is really not the turn of the Lord of the North Continent to run out to warn. Jiang Yan looked at the map very clearly, Alema is located in the basin of the Dihu Lake, where the intertwined and complicated waterways converge, and then a sharp turn goes straight to the east, and finally converges into the Angela Baba River, which is known as the "Little Tianhe". Jiang Yan was very strange when he arrived in Alema last night, all the factories built by the river were suspended, their chimneys were no longer smoking, and their drains were covered with a layer of pale and chaotic ice, judging from the moss climbing on them, the shutdown was definitely not a day or two, but this was not what an abandoned factory looked like.

In the babbling of some drunks in the bar, Jiang Yan also heard some information about the warning, otherwise he wouldn't have made a detour to see what was written on the notice. It's a pity that Alemma's administrators, for some reason, consciously suppressed similar news, and even tore out the warning from the Santiago family.

Setting off overnight, Jiang Yan retired from the room where he hadn't lived for a full day, and after packing all his things into the ring, he took Bai Yang and ran to the stationing place of the exploration team. After spending a little bit of resources, they managed to get in, and the number of people going to the Earth Lake has increased significantly in the past few days, and it is not the first time that the exploration team has received these guys who have come in groups.

But never underestimate the people at the bottom, who sometimes have a terrible sense of smell. Strip out most of the useless gossip and you'll find that some of their rumors hit the nail on the head. This time, too, although they didn't know what was going on at the Santiago family, they had already begun to gather towards the lake, intentionally or unintentionally. In the eyes of the outlaws and down-and-out gardeners, perhaps this is a good opportunity to turn the tables around, just like San Diego did back then.

Jiang Yan followed the crowded exploration team and walked across the big river behind Alema. Under the long bridge, the river was so calm that it was impossible to see anything clearly in the black hole. The sides of the river were bare, with no vegetation except moss and lichens. This is also a very strange point of Jiang Yan, often the closer to the water source, the denser the vegetation, is it because the water here is too cold? Pepchino mentioned when he first arrived in Alema that the river water here seemed to be colder than the ice cream she usually makes, Jiang Yan didn't think much about it at the time, but just sighed at the otherworldly style. Now it seems that the situation is definitely not that simple.

When Jiang Yan was still worried about the road ahead, they had just crossed the bridge and they were in trouble. It didn't cause an accident in the ranks, but the whole earth began to tremble. It was the first time Jiang Yan had seen an earthquake, and the shaking was very regular, just like a person's breath falling together. At this time, Jiang Yan was in his intuition and couldn't help but look back. A dark shadow flashed from the shore. With his sharp eyes, Jiang Yan saw the black trail on the moss.

"Yikes!" Pepchino let out a soft snort.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan asked.

The earthquake stopped. The leader of the exploration team ran over to reassure everyone, she was an experienced plant lady, but from the thick calluses on her hands, it didn't seem to be a vase. At the same time, Poplar also inquired that she had been taking care of the plant girl in the city, and most of the resources she asked for were also used for this.

"How did you hear so much?" Jiang Yan was surprised, Bai Yang seemed to know more than he imagined.

"I'm weird too......" Poplar shook his head in confusion, "I walked straight into their camp, but they seemed to think of me as one of their own. ”

Jiang Yan couldn't complain about Poplar's words, and turned back to continue to check Pepquino's situation.

As soon as he turned around, he was taken aback. In Pepquino's arms, there was an extra rabbit without a head out of thin air. From its rotten neck, a black liquid flowed down, and Jiang Yan smelled a distinct rancid smell.

"This is ......," Jiang Yan asked.

"Rabbit No. 4603." Pepkino looked very sad.

Jiang Yan knew that Pepkino had a habit of numbering the rabbits he made, the number of the Gundam was 001, and the one that disappeared after drinking the original liquid purifier was only 086. Pepchino's Alice has always been a mystery, Jiang Yan has not yet given it a conclusion, but at least he knows that Pepchino seems to be building a rabbit kingdom inside, and there are now 5396 residents, relatively speaking, this 4603 can be regarded as a young death.

"Originally, it was to let it out to breathe today." Although most of the plural rabbits are cannon fodder, the unknown death makes Pepchino very uncomfortable.

"Who killed it?" Jiang Yan immediately thought of the evil ghosts by the water.

"I didn't see it, it was walking by the river at the time." Pepkino has the ability to read rabbits' memories, but how much a rabbit can remember remains to be seen," a dark shadow suddenly jumped out, and then it had no head. ”

"Which ones did you let out to breathe today?"

"084, 165, 3734, and 4603."

"And where are the others?"

"One for a walk in front, one under the gray-haired girl's skirt, and one in your ring."

"Damn, what?"

"It was sleeping under the quilt at the time, and you slurred it directly into the ring."

Jiang Yan just wanted to complain about something, but saw the black liquid on Rabbit 4603's neck began to roll. Pepkino frowned, and its entire body rotted, and from its broken and rotten neck, a rabbit skull slowly coalesced, and then some foul-smelling ooze enveloped it.

Click.

It exploded, and there was nothing left.

"This ......" Jiang Yan's "careful" had just reached his tongue when Pepchino snapped his fingers and wiped out the evil ghost rabbit.

"What is this? It's scary! Pepkino only reacted at this time, and jumped directly into Jiang Yan's arms. It took Jiang Yan a long time to calm down the frightened plant mother. Poplar explained the commotion to the team leader who had just arrived. Thankfully, I didn't see the scene. Otherwise, they will be kicked out of the team. On this unmarked tundra plain, you can't get to the midpoint with a map alone.

"Calm down, Pepquino, I'm here, it's fine." After calming down, Jiang Yan carefully inquired about the situation just now.

Pepkino has complete control over her creations, and even after death, every molecule in them is the result of Pepchino's power.

"There's a consciousness that wants to take control of it!" Pepchino said, only then did she come back to her senses, and then began to ask Jiang Yan for credit (?). "But I'm still good, one step ahead of it!" Hum! Pepchino is amazing! ”

"My Pepquino is amazing!" Jiang Yan smiled and scratched Pepkino's nose.

Conscious guys...... Jiang Yan raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and fell into deep thought.
