The moment the old man came out, the door behind him slammed shut, leaving the old man alone to approach this side cautiously.

Standing not far from Fan Xin, the old man stopped and asked in a hoarse, old voice, "Can you really give me the biscuits?"

Fan Xin nodded.

Zhong Yi felt bad when he saw the old man was so hungry that his bones were visible. He pulled Fan Xin's clothes and said to the old man, "Grandpa, my brother never lies, really."

The old man shifted his gaze to Zhong Yi, then looked at Fan Xin and nodded: "Okay."

"Our place is dozens of kilometers away from where there are gas stations. This place is remote and there are not many gas stations. But I know a place. If we take a shortcut, we should be able to get there before dark." said the old man.

Fan Xin frowned: "Which way is the shortcut?"

"Well, you have to take the small road. The road is a bit complicated and I can't explain it to you clearly. Let me take you there, but this pack of biscuits..." The old man said, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Fan Xin's backpack.

Fan Xin narrowed her eyes and nodded: "Okay, take me there, and I'll give you ten packets of instant noodles when we get there."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal then? Give me the cookies first, and I'll deliver them to my family as a deposit." The old man smiled happily: "Well, since you're so willing to give me things, I'll take this risk with my old bones."

Fan Xin gave the biscuits to the old man, who took the biscuits and ran quickly towards home. His brisk steps were completely different from the slow way he walked towards them just now.

Fan Xin stared at the soles of the old man's feet.

After a while, the old man came back and waved to Fan Xin: "Come on, young man, come this way, I'll take you there."

Fan Xin held Zhong Yi's hand and followed behind the old man. Xu Yan followed Fan Xin step by step. Because she was wearing a long skirt, her walking posture was a little strange and it was not easy to see. It looked like she was limping.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and asked, "Young man, who is that girl behind you?"

Fan Xin said calmly, "My cousin."

The old man suddenly realized it, looked at Xu Yan again, and smacked his lips. "Is your cousin's leg having trouble? She can't even walk properly. We're going to have to take the side road soon. Is she okay?"

Fan Xin: "Well, she had a foot injury when she was a child, but she's fine and can walk."

The old man nodded: "That's good, that's good. The road we're going to walk later is a bit difficult, and I was worried that it would be inconvenient for her."

Zhong Yi listened to Fan Xin's nonsense but did not refute her. He turned his head to look at his mother. The way his mother walked at this moment really looked like someone who had injured her foot when she was a child.

Seeing Zhong Yi constantly looking back at Xu Yan, the old man smiled and said, "Your brother is so well behaved. He even knows how to care for his elders. Is he your biological brother or cousin?"

Fan Xin said calmly, "Cousin."

The old man said with a smile: "I knew it. You two have a big age gap. You are probably not biological children."

The old man led them up the hillside around the cracked ridges of the fields and followed a small path into a forest. The path was just as the old man had said, getting narrower and more difficult to walk on.

"We'll get there just by crossing this forest. Actually, the forest wasn't so dense before. It's only after the heavy fog some time ago that the trees have grown several times bigger. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult to walk on." The old man said with emotion.

Fan Xin hummed as a response.

The trees in the woods are dense and the leaves are lush, so little light can penetrate, making the woods seem a little dark, the vision is not very clear, and it feels a little eerie.

The old man who was walking in front and leading the way kept talking to Fan Xin in a mumbling tone. Zhong Yi held Fan Xin's hand tighter and tighter, and his body involuntarily moved closer to Fan Xin.

Although Fan Xin's body was also very cold, Zhong Yi felt very safe.

A wind blade rushed towards Fan Xin. Fan Xin grabbed Zhong Yi's clothes in an instant, lifted him into his arms, and jumped directly onto a thick tree branch with Zhong Yi.

The wind blade pierced fiercely into the ground where Fan Xin had just stood.

The old man who was leading the way turned around and looked at Fan Xin, grinning sinisterly: "Hey, a person with special abilities? Do you want to join us? If you are willing to join, I can spare your life."

Fan Xin looked down at the old man with a gloomy face, his expression calm, and he was not surprised by the old man's attack.

This old man has too many flaws.

A man and a woman walked out from behind the old man: "Village chief, outsiders are unreliable, it's better to kill them directly."

Fan Xin looked coldly at the man and woman who came out. The supernatural power fluctuations on them were stronger than that of the old man.

This does not prove that these two people are stronger than the old man. On the contrary, the stronger the aura of supernatural power, the lower the level of supernatural power. This is because they cannot control their supernatural power well, so the energy of supernatural power leaks out.

The old people are a little better than them, but only a little.

Through the energy they leaked, Fan Xin knew what the special abilities of these three people were.

The woman is a wood-type mutant, the man is an earth-type mutant, and the old man is a wind-type mutant. There are actually three mutants in one village.

Under normal circumstances, human superpowers should not be fully stimulated at this time, unless these people already know the function of the crystal core and have eaten a lot of crystal cores.

"Join you and rob passers-by?" Fan Xin stood on a tree branch, holding a child in her arms, her face full of indifference. A ray of light leaking from the gaps between the leaves just fell on the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, adding a bit of weirdness.

The old man laughed. "Robbery? No, no, no, we don't rob. As long as you join us, I can tell you a method that can quickly enhance your superpowers. How about it?"

Obviously, the old man did not listen to the advice of the man and woman, but was very interested in recruiting Fan Xin.

The wood-type and earth-type mutants stared at Fan Xin with hostility. They were very unwelcome to her, but they did not dare to disobey the old man.

Fan Xin said calmly, "Not interested."

The old man looked at Fan Xin with regret and said, "There's nothing we can do. Go ahead and do it. Don't hurt the woman and the child."

When Fan Xin heard this, her eyelashes moved slightly and she looked towards the old man. She saw that the old man's gaze was always lingering on Xu Yan, with a hint of evil.

Fan Xin: “…”

After the old man said to do it, a vine climbed up the tree trunk, wrapped around Fan Xin's feet and pulled him down hard.

Snap——

A crisp breaking sound was heard, and the vine did not pull Fan Xin down from the tree. Instead, it broke directly in the middle due to excessive force.

The wood-type mutant was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

The earth-type psychic nearby had already prepared earth spikes right below where Fan Xin would land. Seeing this, he was also stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the woman: "Lin Ya, what are you doing?"

Lin Ya glared at him unhappily and waved her hand again. Three vines rushed towards Fan Xin. Fan Xin did not dodge or evade. The three vines wrapped around her ankles and pulled her down hard.

Fan Xin's feet were pulled and he fell down.

Before she fell, she placed Zhong Yi on a tree branch and warned him coldly, "Stay here and don't move."

Zhong Yi's little face turned pale with fear, but he didn't cry or scream. He bit his lips tightly and nodded obediently: "Okay."

The moment Fan Xin fell, Zhong Yi panicked and shouted anxiously, "Brother!"

The thorns on the ground grew taller in an instant, and the tips of the thorns were sharp and pointed, waiting for Fan Xin to fall down and pierce him through.

Fan Xin's body spun in the air, fell headfirst, reached out and grabbed a thorn, and stopped above the thorn.

The old man narrowed his eyes when he saw this. They had used this method to deal with many people, but this was the first time he mentioned the iron plate.

The old man waved his hand, and two wind blades flew towards Fan Xin.

The wind blade was extremely fast and reached Fan Xin in almost an instant.

Fan Xin exerted force with her hands and her whole body flew into the air. Two wind blades directly cut off the vines tied to her ankles.

The two wind blades missed, and the old man's face became extremely ugly.

"Come together." the old man said angrily.

Vines were flying, and a sharp thorn could emerge from the ground under Fan Xin's feet at any time. Wind blades were flying around her, wrapping her tightly in a small area.

Without any special powers, Fan Xin now fights only by relying on the zombies' powerful strength, thick skin and flesh, as well as the punches and kicks he practiced in his previous life.

Fortunately, the abilities of these three people are not strong.

The woman only knew how to use vines to whip or tie people up, and the man had nothing but earth spikes. The old man's wind blade was disposable and posed no threat to Fan Xin.

Although they posed no threat to her, Fan Xin was unable to get close to those three people, and for a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Fan Xin dodged the attacks, maintaining his original speed without any decrease due to fatigue.

On the contrary, the three people who were chasing Fan Xin were becoming increasingly unable to use their superpowers, and their physical strength was also decreasing as their superpowers decreased.

The old man stopped using the wind blade. He was already a second-level psychic. Although he had no concept of the second level, he knew the limit of his ability.

He hadn't reached his limit yet, but Lin Ya and the other two were almost unable to hold on, especially Lin Ya. She could no longer control the vines, and now she was holding a vine in her hand and controlling it to whip Fan Xin.

This man was simply a monster. He seemed to have no idea what tiredness was, and he dodged the attacks of three people with ease.

The key point is that this man is extremely strong. He broke off several earth thorns that he could not avoid with his hands.

He had tried the earth thorns stimulated by his supernatural powers. Those thorns were called earth thorns, but they were as hard as stones. However, this man could break them with his bare hands.

It would not be good if this continued. If Lin Ya and the others fell, he would not be able to deal with this man alone.

The old man gritted his teeth and looked at the child in the tree. The child was very nervous and stared at Fan Xin with his eyes, afraid that Fan Xin would get hurt.

The old man coughed and winked at Lin Ya.

After receiving the old man's signal, Lin Ya gave up attacking Fan Xin. She threw the vine in her hand onto the tree branch and tried to wrap it around Zhong Yi's ankle.

Fan Xin's eyes sharpened, and as soon as he stepped on the ground, he flew towards the tree. He raised his hand, grabbed Lin Ya's vines, and pulled hard, pulling Lin Ya directly up.

Lin Ya was startled when she suddenly flew into the air. She quickly let go of the vine in her hand and fell back to the ground. But she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and looked at Fan Xin on the tree with great pride.

The old man appeared behind Xu Yan, put his hands around her neck, and stared at Fan Xin coldly: "Get down if you know what's best for you, otherwise, your cousin will..."

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.
