As we all know, no matter how the human brain evolves, it will always have some minor problems at some point.

For example, when sweeping the floor, you put the broom in a corner, and suddenly forget where the broom is after picking up the garbage shovel......

When I was on the phone, I unconsciously stood on the sofa and talked about the phone in a weird posture......

When I was thinking about something, I unconsciously took something strange in my hand......

Andrea was in a similar state just now, looking at Xiang En's finger, and the image of Xiang Eun's finger sucking in her mind inexplicably circulated, causing her to act faster than she thought, and she bit it in one bite.

In the end, she simply gave up on herself, closed her eyes and pretended to be an ostrich, and after entering the mouth with a sweet smell of dew, she gave up thinking completely.

It wasn't until Xiang En opened her mouth to remind her that she faced the embarrassment of reality again......

Andrea, who had her back to Xiang Eun, had red ears and stiffened her body paddling the raft, not daring to look back behind her at all, but after the raft hit the floating corpse several times, the feeling of red face and red ears disappeared.

Xiang En, too, was silent all the way, and it was not until the afternoon that the two of them crossed the gentle lake and came to a high stone wall.

The high walls were square, completely blocking the overflowing lake, and also blocking the way out of the Monster Forest.

Looking up at the high walls made of earth elementals, this almost completely confirmed the fact that the archmages of De'er City did it on purpose.

Even if the height of the earth elemental wall is more than ten meters above the waterline, it is close to ten meters, and the wall surface is as smooth as a polished marble slab, such a spectacle must also be the hand of the archmage.

Andrea stabbed her dagger at the wall, but the dagger was twisted a little, and she didn't try again.

Climbing was not advisable, and they ended up climbing away on the hillside next to the earth elemental wall.

In addition to the original path behind the mountain range, there were only a large number of traces left by the wild beasts and the crowd after they fled, and the two of them followed these traces and began to make their way north.

The nearest town to the flooded Great Lake, about sixty kilometres, had to walk a long way to see the people.

The entire empire map illustrates what it means to be vast and sparsely populated, and communication is not convenient.

It had only been two and a half days since the city of De'air had been flooded, and those who had escaped the flood area had probably only just fled to other towns.

On the way, Xiang En and Andrea finally found the stream, and after a full drink, they forgot about the previous embarrassment and continued on the road.

In the evening, the two of them lit a bonfire by the side of the road where the carriage had been pressed, and still ate magic bread.

From the time they left Lake De Er in the afternoon until it got dark, neither of them found any creatures around except bugs, and there were traces of blood on the road, but they did not find any corpses of any creatures.

Everything seemed so quiet, as if the world had forgotten the two of them, and after leaving the confines of Lake Deair, the two of them still had a strange sense of trance.

He was almost killed by a flood not long ago, but now he escaped unharmed......

Oh!

It can't be said that he is safe and sound, Xiang En's back is still faintly painful from the wound of being stabbed by dead wood, Andrea's forehead is also left with a frayed blood scab, and the palm of his hand has become rougher than before.

Warrior women don't have any soft hands, and basic chopping exercises are enough for them to get calluses on one hand.

Compared to the "wild" warrior female professional, Andrea's skin is paler.

"Andrea, you go to sleep first, I'll keep watch for half the night." Xiang En clapped his hands and shook off the crumbs of the bread, allowing the sleepy Andrea to rest first.

When she was in a coma before, Andrea kept vigil all night, and with the fear at that time, after leaving the lake, she couldn't support it anymore.

Andrea didn't take it easy, but just said, "Call me Ann Li." ”

He leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes.

In the first half of the night, the weather was calm, perhaps because the beasts that had escaped from the Lake De Er area had left after the human footprints, or perhaps it was the sudden terrain that made the beasts feel uneasy and decided to leave their homeland in search of a new settlement.

Either way, neither of them triggered any surprises throughout the night.

Not only this night, but also during the two consecutive days of traveling, neither of them encountered any living creatures other than bugs.

This situation did not change until the ruins of one of their towns......

"Here...... What happened? ”

Looking at the town in front of her, which had been reduced to ruins and filled with black smoke, Andrea was stunned and looked confused.

The city they had planned to arrive in was now in ruins, and looking through the open gate, they could see that the wooden houses had been reduced to charcoal, and black and gray smoke was slowly escaping out.

On the ground next to the city gate were not only staggering large traces of blood, but also large heavy footprints and horseshoe prints.

The scene here reminds Xiang En of the word, burning, killing and looting......

It can't be looted by robbers, right?

With an inexplicably heavy heart, Xiang En and Andrea stepped into the city gate together.

After entering the inside of the city wall, the two of them were immediately dizzy from the warm smoke mixed with the smell of blood, and after a little habituation, the two of them got used to it slightly.

There was no movement in the town except for the crackling of some inadequately burned wood.

Xiang En and Andrea walked side by side on the town's main road, scanning all directions, and some details shocked the two of them.

The collapsed wooden houses were reduced to charcoal in the burning, and the dried blood sketched the chaos of the day of the tragedy beneath their feet.

It was as if they could glimpse the scene through blood and partially stained footprints.

Squatting down to carefully examine a footprint under the mud, Xiang En's brows were almost congealed, and he picked up a little blood-stained dirt and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

"Do you see anything?" After looking around the ruins, Andrea asked Xiang Eun thoughtfully.

When she came to the city of Deair, she lived here, and she could vaguely remember the prosperity of this place through the collapsed houses.

Her face began to turn dull at a visible rate, and Andrea remembered that the owner of an inn here had a lovely daughter who had asked her what life was like for adventurers.

At that time, she replied so eloquently that the girl's eyes were bright with stars, and she said that she would also be an adventurer in the future.

Now, if she could see that girl again, she might change her answer...... But can you really see it?

Xiang En clapped his hands and stood up, "The smell is very light, and the flames here have also disappeared, it should have happened in the first five days or so...... Go ahead and see. ”

"Hmm."

Andrea's voice was low.

The two walked through the original streets and alleys, and did not find a single body.

It wasn't until they walked to the ruins of a certain room and found clear trails of drag on the ground that they knew where the bodies had gone.

Looking at the blood trailing on the ground, Xiang Eun and Andrea dug up the burned charcoal with mixed and apprehensive feelings.

Then they saw the bones that had been glued together, the number of which was no longer clear.

I had thought that the world would be chaotic without effective legal constraints, but to see a slaughtered town with my own eyes, I didn't expect!

After feeling the tragedy in front of him, Xiang En turned around and walked to Andrea, who turned her back and vomited because she couldn't accept the picture.
