Chapter 421: 235 Danger in the Deserted Village (Third Update)_2 Chapter 421: 235 Danger in the Deserted Village (Third Update)_2 The embarrassing Li Ranqiu was also tossed from her mind, such a person could be found anywhere and was not yet worthy of her attention.
After leaving, she opened her tablet, launched the map application, and checked the nearby routes. The map Feng Yue had given her was rather detailed, and it even specially noted the nearby conditions, such as so villages that were now uninhabited and roads that were severed.
These details were not visible on the software.
Having discussed with the others, Fang Yuxin quickly determined a new route to get back onto the highway. Naturally, the closest way was to detour past that deep pit. But that area was guarded and soone had set up roadblocks. If they went that way, they would definitely alert Feng Yue and their secret would be exposed.
Although it was no secret that Shang Jinxiu was a Space superpower user in the team, others did not know. A Space superpower user was a very special existence and prone to being targeted. She certainly did not want to expose Shang Jinxiu in the eyes of others; that would put Jinxiu in great danger.
Thus, they had no choice but to take the long way around and chose another route.
As they steadily extended their distance from the settlent, an abandoned village ca into view in front of them. The village was severely afflicted by disaster, with large areas turned to ruins, and the remaining structures were empty of life.
Fang Yuxin released her Spiritual Sense and detected the presence of Elental Stones within the ruins. There were not many, just over a dozen, but they had yet to be discovered.
This was understandable, as this place was relatively far from Feng Yue’s settlent, and Feng Yue might not have been able to find it. As for others, who would bother picking up those inconspicuous stones if they did not know the use of Elental Stones?
Fang Yuxin shared her discovery with Bai Ye, who imdiately decided to take a look at the deserted village! Their Elental Stones and Elental Crystals had all been stolen, so even though there weren’t many to find, having so was better than none.
The Yongcheng Team did not compete with Bai Ye’s group for the stones this ti. They already had plenty of Elental Stones and Elental Crystals, and there was no need to create unpleasantness over such a small amount.
Moreover, after so many collaborations, both teams had developed a kind of affection, barely considering each other as friends. It was not necessary for friends in need to send out their own Elental Crystals, nor was it necessary to compete over such trivial matters.
To avoid any suggestion of conflict, after entering the deserted village, the Yongcheng Team did not even bother mining Elental Stones and left them all for Bai Ye’s group. Bai Ye and his teammates noticed their gesture of goodwill and did not fuss over accepting the help.
Since there was no need to mine Elental Stones, Fang Yuxin suggested, “This is a rural area, let’s look for cellars or granaries or sothing. If the villagers left in a hurry, they might not have been able to take everything with them.”
At her suggestion, the others agreed. Although they were not short of food, no one would complain about having too much. Besides, even if they didn’t consu it themselves, they could always sell it to others, give it away to those in need, which would be much better than letting it rot away, right?
So, they split up and started searching for cellars and granaries. To avoid any danger, the ten people divided into three groups. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang ford one group, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe another, while the remaining six, led by Chen Qiao, made up the third group. Bai Qianqian followed Bai Ye, using her Spiritual Sense to help them locate Elental Stones.
After dividing into teams, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang chose a direction and began searching house by house. The village’s conditions did not compare to Feng Yue’s settlent, with mostly ordinary residential buildings and no villas. There were even so dilapidated tile houses that clearly indicated poor financial circumstances of the hoowner.
They checked each household one by one. With the help of Spiritual Sense, there was no need to enter the houses; they could easily see inside with a re release of Spiritual Sense.
Fang Yuyang, who had reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage, could also release his Spiritual Sense, although it was not as strong as Fang Yuxin’s and had limited range. Of course, it was more than enough to check the conditions inside the houses.
During their search, they couldn’t help but sigh at the situation inside the houses. It was evident that the hoowners had left hastily, or perhaps had not survived at all. Three scattered skeletons, two adults and one child, had been picked clean, presenting a pitiful sight.
Besides, there were quite a few usable supplies in the house. They opened the door and went in. Fang Yuxin conjured a fireball to cremate the skeletal remains and then collected the usable supplies into a corner of the warehouse.
After inspecting this house, they moved on to the next. Different houses had various situations, so still had consumable supplies, while others had none, probably taken by the hoowners.
While they were busy, Fang Yuxin suddenly felt tense and quickly turned her head towards a direction.
Fang Yuyang, who had been keeping an eye on her, realized sothing had happened and said, “Is there trouble over there? Let’s hurry!”
Fang Yuxin nodded, and just as they were about to leave, they heard an angry roar in the distance.
“Roar——”
The sound reverberated like thunder, carrying with it a ferocity that traveled from afar. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang both paled.
“That sound… is probably so kind of mutant animal! Let’s get there quickly!” Fang Yuyang said, pulling Fang Yuxin as they rushed out.
Just from the sound alone, they could sense that the creature was no easy adversary. If they arrived too late, the others would be in danger!
