“What are you doing?!” As the electric light suddenly shot out, Song Chen’s expression turned horrified.
“Zizi ”
“Gah!l!”
The electric light brushed past Song Chen’s head, then hit the ground hard behind him.
A pitch-black and sinister ghostly shadow emerged for a moment, writhing in pain in the electric light, and then completely disappeared in smoke.
It was the black lizard that had just self-detonated. It wasn’t completely dead and almost fooled everyone by using a trick akin to slipping out of its old shell.
“He…he…”
Pale with the fright subsiding, Song Chen felt his legs go weak and just slumped down on the spot.
“It’s done, it’s solved.”
Xu Ran patted Ziyun in his arms, his eyes returned to normal as he released the Star Chain, then smiled at Liu Gu sitting on the side, “Everyone can sleep peacefully now.”
The corner of Liu Gu’s mouth twitched slightly.
How do you act like nothing happened at all?!
“Okay, let’s quickly get to our camp.”
The corner of Zhang Yun’s mouth also twitched. He was amazed by Xu Ran’s power, but looking at the sky, he knew they couldn’t delay any longer.
The other teams also gradually came back to their senses. Although they occasionally cast strange glances at Xu Ran, they didn’t delay the main task and set off one after the other.
Even Song Chen, whose legs had softened from fear, got up with the help of others in his team, glanced at Xu Ran, then set off without uttering a word.
Soon, the crowd vanished on the spot.
About ten minutes after everyone had left, dark shadows on the ground began to lengthen, as though some power was being drawn from them and then converging.
A black lizard, several sizes smaller, quickly took shape, its eyes filled with terror as it looked in the direction the crowd had left.
That was close!
Had it not been for its life-saving skill approaching the Waning Moon Level, forciibly abandoning most of its power in a moment of crisis, and adopting a more secure hiding method, it might have indeed fallen there.
That human…
As Xu Ran’s image flashed in his mind, terror gradually faded from the black lizard’s eyes, replaced by resentment and ferocity.
He must die!
The figure of the black lizard vanished back into the shadows, its destination unknown.
“We’ve finally arrived at the camp.”
Zhang Yun sighed with relief looking at the darkening sky.
This campsite was chosen in advance for its advantageous terrain and rare water sources available outside the city, capable of both defending against wild super creatures’ attacks and providing hydration.
Everyone fetched water, tested that it was safe for drinking then rest, they set up camp and prepared food methodically.
“Here! Try this, Boss Xu!” Du Heng took out a large piece of dried meat from his backpack and handed it to Xu Ran, “My wife is very good at making this, it tastes really good!”
“Thank you.” Xu Ran smiled and took a bite.
The dried meat was firm and chewy, not too hard on the teeth, with just the right amount of salt. It was indeed delicious.
“Try mine, homemade pancake. It tastes even better when it’s cold!” Liu Xue laughed as she handed over a pancake to Xu Ran.
It wasn’t convenient to start a fire in a camp, but the people of the Tiger Hunting Squad were experienced and had prepared various types of food that were still delicious when cold.
This made Xu Ran, inexperienced and only armed with biscuits and bread to stave off hunger, couldn’t help but marvel.
After settling down, the sky plunged completely into darkness. A bright crescent moon hung in mid-air. The quiet night was only filled with the sounds of insects.
Xu Ran took a sip from his water canteen and then hung it around his waist, looking at the Tiger Hunting Squad preparing for rest.
He knew it was time to part ways.
He chose to follow the Tiger Hunting Squad because he knew them better, and they had extensive experience in wilderness survival, which could help him avoid detours.
But really traveling together made him realize it wasn’t as perfect as he had imagined.
Because there were other teams here too.
