Zhou Xinyi didn't understand her attitude, although after the destruction of Jizhou City, the daughter of the city lord, Ms. Ji Lin, would indeed become the target of public criticism.

But she is also the beloved fiancée of the Myler official, the Myler official is a hero who died fighting against Lingzhimu, and the citizens of Jizhou will not be difficult for her fiancée, causing her to the point where she must be incognito.

Could it be that she remarried?

That's right, she is just a fiancée, and it is not uncommon to remarry, but Mailer has a special official status, and if she remarries in this case, Ms. Ji Lin will indeed bear some infamy from public opinion.

But he is a new young man in the 21st century, and he is very open-minded, "It's okay, Ms. Ji Lin, remarriage is a forced choice, the deceased is gone, you are still alive, it is important to consider your own future ......"

Before the words fell, Zhou Xinyi found that Ji Lin was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"I love my fiancé dearly, and I understand the choices he makes, and even if we have no name for ourselves, I will not seek out anyone else."

"......" Zhou Xinyi was a little embarrassed for a while, "Then what did you mean just now?" ”

Ji Lin hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's nothing." ”

"If you don't have Ji Lin, call me Xilin in the future."

Zhou Xinyi had no choice but to agree.

It seems that in addition to famine and defending against foreign enemies, there are some other unknown trivialities that have happened in Jizhou City.

"Ms. Shireen, why did you follow the expedition outside the city?"

Ji Lin said lightly, "It's just to collect wind and find more inspiration for creation." ”

If Ji Lin was really just an ordinary writer, Zhou Xinyi would believe her rhetoric.

But there are dangers outside the city, and as the daughter of the city lord, even if she loves literature, she should not choose this simple way of traveling.

Zhou Xinyi intuitively felt that there must be something strange in this.

Although Ji Lin didn't like to talk, she didn't let Zhou Xinyi get clues in vain, and asked back, "What about you?" Why did you come to this desolate place? ”

"Because it is my duty to wander all over the earth," Zhou Xinyi took off his mask and revealed half of his face, "I am a judge. ”

Talking to a smart person like Ms. Ji Lin, it is always more convenient to show cards than to test each other.

Ji Lin was slightly stunned, "My fiancé...... Before he was born, he said that a judge came to Jizhou City. ”

Zhou Xinyi nodded regretfully, "That's me." ”

The atmosphere was frozen at the mention of an old man.

Suddenly, Changbai, who had always tilted his head to listen to human speech, raised his head, opened his mouth and pounced on Ji Lin violently!

Even the mature and steady Ji Lin couldn't help but exclaim when she was suddenly attacked by the nightmare, but the next moment, her head was not caught, but a huge black spike was bitten in Changbai's mouth!

When the panic was uncertain, the danger had not passed, Zhou Xinyi pulled out the judge's hammer as soon as possible, knocked out another spike in front of him, and then the spike cried and flew like a dense rain!

Zhou Xinyi scolded, and before he could see what was attacking them, he heard the people of the second echelon shouting, "Take the shield!" ”

Everyone in the team was holding a shield with a length and width of one meter, even the thin woman was no exception, Zhou Xinyi didn't know the use of the shield at first, but now he understands that the shield is used to guard against these sudden spikes!

Ji Lin picked up the shield as soon as possible and said to Zhou Xinyi, "Hide quickly!" ”

Zhou Xinyi didn't go: he could share a shield with Ji Lin, what about the huge Changbai?

His gaze quickly swept over the group, and he saw that the attack had just been so fast that two of the team members had been pierced through their necks before they could raise their shields, and their shields were scattered on the ground not far away.

Zhou Xinyi ignored Ji Lin's dissuasion, ran over and raised his shield as fast as he could, and shouted to Changbai, "Changbai! Come! ”

Changbai gave him a blank look, flapped his wings and flew in the direction that attacked them!

Zhou Xinyi's eyelids jumped: Damn, why is one more rebellious than the other?

He watched the long white figure fly through the spiky rain in a thrilling way, and the exploration team reacted at this moment, they drew their guns and fired in the direction of the enemy.

But those people's marksmanship was not very accurate, and a few bullets were aimed at Changbai indiscriminately, and Zhou Xin, who saw this scene, finally couldn't sit still.

With a shield in one hand and a shuttle through the ranks with the other, he grabbed the captain by the collar, "Don't let those people hurt my nightmare!" Fast! ”

Captain: "Got it, got it!" ”

Fortunately, the most proud of the Sky Nightmare is its flexible body, Changbai successfully shuttled to the enemy's territory, and it gathered enough strength to let out a solemn and long dragon roar in the distance!

Even though the exploration team only heard a sound from a distance, their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.

Soon, the almost endless spike attacks stopped, and the entire wasteland was silent except for the sound of the heartbeat that people were increasingly afraid of.

Zhou Xinyi was much calmer than everyone else, "What just attacked us?" ”

"It's a warts that like to take root on this kind of hard ground, and if there are creatures around them and the ground shakes, the warts will spit back the thorns on their bodies and attack them."

The captain was already full of respect for the judge, and when he saw the skill of the nightmare, he wiped his sweat even more, did not dare to be ambiguous, and said everything he knew, "The stinging warts will only choose one direction at a time, and when they finish spitting out the thorns, they will squirm in that direction, and use the prey they have hunted as new rooting nourishment." ”

Zhou Xinyi does not know about warts, but he understands the general term of "warts", all creatures that are soft and elastic in appearance and hairless, but do not belong to mollusks are called "warts", and warts are just one of them.

"Now that the warts are dead, what are we going to do?"

"Uh......"

According to the previous strategy, if they encountered a wedge, they would use their shields to block the attack of the wart, and then leave the body of the unfortunate person in place, and use the time it took to wriggle the wart to quickly leave the place.

After a wave of spitting, warts will no longer be aggressive for a short time, and can be easily evacuated as long as they do not approach actively.

But they have always only taken a defensive strategy when they encounter thorn warts, and they have never encountered a situation where thorn warts are wiped out!

"Let's go over and see, the warts should be edible too."

After entering, Zhou Xinyi observed that the spiny warts are a kind of globular wart with a diameter of more than one meter long, the skin pouch bulges like a leather ball, containing blood and internal organs, and the outside of the "leather ball" is covered with black spikes, like a group of huge puffer fish walking ashore.

Warts, which have root-like organs, are the mouthparts used for walking and eating.

"This thing...... Can you eat it? Zhou Xinyi once again felt that his bottom line was being washed.

"Of course, sir, they died cleanly, and that's great." Zhou Xinyi could see that the captain was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Warts are not considered mammals, but because they also have a heart and blood vessels in their bodies, they rely mainly on oxygen to survive, so the nightmare calls also have an effect on them.

These warts are equivalent to sudden death, and there is no trace of blood left on the surface.

Zhou Xinyi took a look at Changbai's condition and found that its torso and wings were pierced with two sharp black thorns.

Unexpectedly, the first person to be injured was Changbai, but the skin of the nightmare's wings was rough and thick, and this small injury would not affect the flight.

He helped Changbai pull out the black thorn, and Changbai screamed twice aggrievedly.

"Now you know it hurts? Who called you just so tiger. ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell to the side, and he bent down to pick up a black hedron from the body of the wart.

This is...... Ink stone?

Zhou Xinyi was shocked.

These warts were killed by Changbai, and he entered the light curtain with Changbai, and the light curtain tacitly accepted Changbai as his domesticated war pet?

So the enemies killed by Changbai will also drop ink stones?

Zhou Xinyi couldn't believe it, in this way, as long as he took Changbai to the inheritor's camp to roar twice, wouldn't the inheritance spar be a lot of it?

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unrealistic.

The other inheritors may not be unaware of the habits of the nightmare, Changbai is so big, the biggest possibility is that before he can scream, he will be strangled by the heirs.

And Zhou Xinyi can also be regarded as having experienced the nightmare cry positively, although it is very dangerous, but there is also time to react.

Whether the successor uses those hours to fight back or save his life is a matter of personal choice.

Changbai killed more than forty thorn warts in total, and not every thorn wart dropped ink stones, and in the end he got a total of 26.

This made Zhou Xinyi feel very happy, he didn't expect to have such a big gain by standing still.

"Guys, it's not getting early, let's spend the night here!"

The sky is about to stop, the light is too dark at night, and the poisonous insects under the feet are not suitable for hurrying, and the territory where the warts live is naturally the safest.

No one objected to the captain's proposal, and soon, more than a dozen "tents" were erected.

The support point of this kind of tent is at the top, and the whole tent structure is like a capped boat on dry land, and the entrance and exit of the tent must be through the entrance above.

Zhou Xinyi was able to understand the design of this kind of tent, which was to prevent ground creatures from crawling in while sleeping.

The fourth echelon of the exploration team, like the second echelon, is also a young man who is strong and good at fighting, and the fifth echelon is a solo trip by the vice-captain.

The vice-captain is the most powerful man in the exploration team, and while monitoring whether anyone is left behind, he is the queen of the team.

When camping, the tents of the second and fourth echelons are arranged in the outer circle, and the people of the third echelon are firmly encircled, and the first echelon is composed of observant members, whose tents are scattered all over the outer circle, and the chief and deputy captains are placed in the two corners of the outer circle in case of emergency.

Although Zhou Xinyi is not weak, he is a guest and is also arranged in the inner circle of the third echelon.

The atmosphere of the night was not as tense as he expected, and the team members happily disposed of the corpses of the warts, boiling the edible ingredients into a large pot of hot soup.

The kind-hearted Ji Lin helped Zhou Xinyi bring a meal: a bowl of hot warts soup, two pieces of sweet ginger candy, and three dried rice crackers.

Sweet ginger candy is an expensive good thing for the current Jizhou City, and it was specially sent by the captain in order to thank Changbai for killing a nest of thorny warts so that they could have a full meal.

Zhou Xinyi had no interest in sweets, so he put away the sweet ginger candy and prepared to leave it for Jiang Yi to taste.
