End of the meeting.

The fourth night in the metropolis passed without incident.

The monster arrives silently and dies silently.

Early the next morning, before Gawain could say he had a good sleep, he was dragged by Li Qing to work outside the camp.

This time he was not asked to dig traps, but to collect more thorns in the forest.

Wang Wenqing and Li Qing had some fun last night and planned to use thorns to decorate the bottom of the trap.

The location where the thorns grow is about eight kilometers east of the wooden house area. With the strength of Li Qing and Gawain's feet, it would take about an hour to walk.

An hour and a half later.

Gawain looked at an abandoned villa in front of him and looked at Li Qing expressionlessly:

"Brother Qing, are you sure we're not going in the wrong direction?"

"Ah hahaha, how could it be possible that we went wrong? You did. I'm a professional navigator."

Chewing dried meat in his mouth, Li Qing carried Gawain on his back and looked at the unfamiliar abandoned villa in front of him with some guilt.

Last night, Wang Wenqing didn't tell him that he passed by the villa area on the way.

The villa area in front of us looks quite eerie. The outer skins of each villa are covered with algae and surrounded by a large number of vines.

The two of them continued walking inside.

During this period, a flock of flying birds was startled.

The noisy screams are disturbing.

Far away.

Seeing a flock of crows landing on the roof of an abandoned villa, Gawain took a few more curious glances:

"It's crows, there are so many of them."

"Yes, God is still very awesome. As long as we humans don't mess around, he can arrange corresponding ecological circles for other creatures." Li Qing replied nonchalantly.

"For God's sake? You meant to say nature?"

"It's all the same, almost the same..."

The further the two of them walked inside, the eerie feeling around them became stronger.

I don't know if it was Gawain's illusion, but he always felt that the crows squatting on the eaves were always watching them.

Crows spying on people?

Gawain thought it was a bit ridiculous, but he still kept an eye on it and winked at Li Qing.

Li Qing nodded slightly and did not respond.

The abandoned villa area is very large. From what Gawain saw alone, there were already more than a hundred single-family villas.

There is an artificial lake in the middle, and the water surface is covered with yellow-green algae.

Seeing the artificial lake here, Li Qing's eyes couldn't help but light up:

"Brother, we found the water source!"

"Uh...are you serious?"

There were still more than ten meters away from the artificial lake, and Gawain could smell the stench wafting from the artificial lake. The rancid smell of rotten eggs and feces really failed to allow Gawain to associate this artificial lake with a source of drinking water.

Come together.

"Nonsense, you haven't seen such a huge lake?"

Gawain felt that he couldn't drink it, but Li Qing didn't care about that.

When he randomly arrived in the desert, he drank not only the rancid lake water, but also human urine.

Of course, you have to use a water purifier before drinking.

He invited Gawain to come to the lake with him. When Li Qing saw the green algae floating on the surface of the lake, he suddenly smiled at Gawain.

"Brother, believe it or not, there are fish in this lake!"

"..."

"Not only are there fish, there are quite a lot of them, and they are probably not too small in size."

"I guess so...."

"Little brother, please wait, I'll go down and grab one and bring it up. Let's have extra lunch..."

"No, wait a minute, this water is so dirty, don't stop it from being poisonous..."

"It's so poisonous. Didn't you notice that there is a layer of algae floating on it..."

As he spoke, Li Qing plunged into the artificial lake.

Gawain: "..."

Gawain didn't know if it was poisonous or not, but he could clearly see that there was a lot of bird droppings piled up around the artificial lake. If Li Qing jumped down, he would definitely be unclean when he came back up!

The negative BUFF stinks to the sky, and the effect blends into the environment +1?

Li Qing jumped down to catch the fish.

Gawain had nothing to do so he looked around.

Those single-family villas caught his eye again.

With so many villas, there should be furniture and other things inside. Gawain planned to wait for Li Qing to come up and ask him to go around the villa together to see if he could bring back some usable furniture.

Li Qing didn't let Gawain wait any longer.

More than a minute later, Li Qing rushed ashore and yelled at Gawain in horror as he ran:

"Run! There's a big guy in the lake!"

run?

big guy?

monster?

Before Gawain could react, a huge wave suddenly rose from the water.

And then.

Gawain saw strips of patterned tentacles breaking through the water and wrapping around behind Li Qing!

"Wind Blade!"

Gawain's first reaction was to activate the magic of the ghoul's hand and use the wind blade to intercept some of the tentacles behind Li Qing.

Later.

Turn around and run!

MD! The part of the tentacle above the water is seven or eight meters long!

How big is this monster?

The power of the wind blade was still strong, leaving a wound seven to eight centimeters deep on the monster's tentacles. Li Qing, who was running, saw the wind blade flying past him. After being stunned for a moment, he ran faster!

"Thanks brother!"

"Escape first and then talk about it!!!"

...

five minutes later.

Outside the villa area.

Gawain looked at the bull-headed monster raging in the villa area in front of him and felt that his back was completely wet with sweat.

This is a huge monster over twenty meters tall!

The monster's head is in the shape of a bull's head, and its body is translucent like the belly of a squid. The key is that this monster has dozens of dense tentacles growing all over its body, and the one that just attacked Li Qing was one of them!

Because Li Qing was not caught, the monster was getting angry in the villa area. Dozens of tentacles shot up into the sky and kept beating in the air.

"Huh... Brother Qing, what the hell is this monster? Don't tell me that we will fight this thing in two days..."

The monster's tentacles were dancing in the air, and the crows in the villa area were flying around the tentacles, making strange croaking calls from time to time.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Li Qing, who was wringing out his clothes, heard this and laughed dryly: "If this thing really comes to attack us, then let's not even think about uniting. Let's all follow the example of the two-sword girl and go our separate ways..."

"Then what kind of situation is this?" Looking away from the monster, Gawain looked at Li Qing and said: "Don't tell me, there are many similar monsters in the ruins area..."

"Uh...it seems so..."

Gawain; "..."

How about playing with your balls?

"But you don't have to worry too much, just use them as a backdrop. As long as we don't intrude on their territory, they... probably, maybe, won't cause us any trouble, right?"

Li Qing was not very sure about this.

Not long ago, Li Qing had a close encounter with this big guy in the lake.

Ahem, the main thing is that the tentacles of this tentacle monster are buried in the underwater mud, revealing a mushroom-like head.
Chapter completed!
