Chapter 49: The Spiritual Spring Water Fails
Sang Tian slept very uneasily and had frequent dreams. She kept dreaming about the zombie outbreak in her previous life, the zombie siege, the dark days when people were so hungry that they had to drink water to fill their stomachs.
In the end, the water source was contaminated by zombies and no one dared to drink it. Water became a scarce resource and even food to fill the stomach was gone.
In the dream, she was not as lucky as in her previous life. In her previous life, she met a rescue team on the way to escape. Now she was surrounded by zombies and could clearly feel them biting her. Although it did not cause any pain, it was also a kind of psychological torture.
Watching them devouring his flesh, with bones beneath the blood and flesh, Sang Tian felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.
The dream was so real that it even gave Sang Tian the illusion that she had returned to her previous life.
"Tiantian, are you awake?" Li Su's voice came from outside the tent.
Sang Tian woke up with his eyes open, beads of sweat covering his full forehead. Whenever he thought of the dream he had just had, his heart would palpitate and his ears would start to ring.
If Li Su hadn't called her outside, she guessed it would have been difficult for her to wake up.
Sang Tian's answer was somewhat weak, "Yeah, I'm awake."
"Can I come in?"
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."
Once daytime arrives, the temperature on the high-temperature island rises rapidly. At six o'clock in the morning, the temperature has reached 38 degrees.
Sang Tian didn't let Li Su in. She opened the tent and walked out. The sunlight was so bright that she raised her hands to block the sun.
Sang Tian walked out and saw that Bi Jingyan had already prepared breakfast. The other three were waiting. Li Su was standing at the door of her tent. It seemed that he had been waiting for quite a while.
"Next time, wake me up directly when the meal is ready."
"It's okay, you didn't sleep well last night?" Li Su noticed that Sang Tian looked listless.
"Maybe I was too tired yesterday. Let's eat first."
While eating, Sang Tian was chewing bread and distracted, still thinking about her dream last night. She always felt that something was strange. This was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing. It was like someone was deliberately abusing her in her dream.
"Li Su, besides you mermaids, are there any other beastmen with the ability to enter dreams?"
"Yes, some sheep beastmen possess the ability to peek into dreams, but they do this by leaving their bodies."
Li Su looked at her, his tone of questioning filled with concern, "So, did anything strange happen to you last night while you were resting?"
The other four beastly husbands all looked at Sang Tian, waiting for her answer.
"Not really, I just had a very strange dream all of a sudden, and I felt like I couldn't wake up from it." Sang Tian denied, worried that Li Su would see through her.
Seeing that Sang Tian avoided the topic, the five beast husbands looked at each other one after another, and they all knew in their hearts that Sang Tian was hiding something from them.
Li Su's face was solemn, his chest felt blocked, and a bitterness spread from the bottom of his heart.
It turned out that he was the same as the other four.
Today is the last day. The task of killing C-level monsters was completed on the second day. Now we only need to stay in the desert for three days.
Bi Jingyan was puzzled. "Strange! Didn't Wu Lanyuan say there were A-level poisonous scorpions? How come I haven't seen any along the way?"
Wu Lanyuan also began to suspect that the rattlesnake was trying to deceive him?
"I don't know either."
After two days, Sang Tian gradually adapted to the high temperature, and his physical strength and heat resistance were greatly improved. However, he was still thinking about last night's dream and had difficulty concentrating.
Shen Jinxi and Zuo Ya walked behind, so busy that they didn't even have time to breathe.
Along the way, Chen Jinxi and Zuo Ya's beast husband were killing the strange beasts, and then Jin Che and the other four absorbed their mental power. From last night to now, their mental power has almost increased from C level to B.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every hour Shen Jinxi would summon the system that had disappeared for a day and a night.
Finally, this time she got a response from the system.
【System: Host, I'm back.】
"What did you do again? Have you found out who did it?"
[System: I found out. It was that brat Bi Jingyan who did it. It didn't even absorb the A-rank alien beast. When I rushed over, the scorpion was almost absorbed by another alien beast! Luckily, I arrived in time and cloned another one.]
Shen Jinxi's eyes lit up when she heard this, she knew that this system was very powerful, perhaps even surpassing Xingduan.
"Clone, will Xingduan find out about this?"
[System: No, it's eager for you to compete with each other. Oh, that's not important. What's important is that the poisonous scorpion is already waiting for them up ahead. It's estimated that they'll encounter it in another ten minutes.]
Shen Jinxi stared straight ahead and began to slow down, deliberately increasing the distance between them.
"For the five of them, an A-level battle would be over in a few minutes. How could the sandstorm be in time?"
[System: We'll definitely make it. I've investigated the Star-End database and discovered that natural disasters in the Floating Life Islands occur at fixed times. Today is a sandstorm day.]
When the mechanical voice spoke, there was a hint of arrogance and confidence in its tone.
"That's good."
The return of the system gave Shen Jinxi a great sense of security. She suppressed excitement in her eyes, and anticipation flashed across her bright face.
"Wait!" Qing Zhi called out, sensing danger. "It seems there are more than just A-rank monsters waiting for us ahead."
I don’t know if it’s because Sang Tian is next to him, but even Qing Zhi’s foresight of his own danger has become blurry.
He could only make a rough judgment and vaguely knew that the sense of danger was not brought by the strange beast.
Bai Mingchen asked: "What did you see?"
"I can't see the picture, I can only feel it." Qing Zhi told the truth and no longer concealed the fact that his supernatural power had lost its effect.
Bi Jingyan seemed to have heard some shocking joke, and his eyes became increasingly sharp as he looked at Qingzhi.
"How can you not see the picture? At this critical moment, don't talk nonsense about your supernatural power being ineffective."
The four people who knew the situation remained silent.
"It's not ineffective now, it's ineffective half a month ago." Qing Zhi stared at Sang Tian, still unable to figure out why the supernatural power had failed on her.
Bi Jingyan realized he was not joking and asked again, "Are you serious?"
Wu Lanyuan looked at the other three people without any surprise in their eyes. He already had an idea in his mind and acted much calmer than Bi Jingyan.
He turned around and found that Shen Jinxi had distanced herself from them and could barely see their figures.
"Do Chen Jinxi and the others know something?" Wu Lanyuan noticed something was wrong. "We've walked six kilometers so far, and they've been keeping a distance of about two hundred meters from us. Now the distance has suddenly widened. Why don't we slow down and wait for them to see?"
Wu Lanyuan wanted to verify his guess.
In addition, Qingzhi had already foreseen the danger, and moving forward rashly would only make the journey more difficult.
Sang Tian agreed with Wu Lanyuan's words, "I think there's a problem too. Let's wait and see for ten minutes. I'm a little tired now, so I can take a break."
The six people put up the awning. They couldn't expect to enjoy the cool air, but they could rest for a while.
"You've been absent-minded all morning. What did you dream about last night?" Li Su's blue eyes were filled with worry.
Sang Tian smiled slightly and explained to him calmly, "It was just a nightmare, scarier than the previous ones. I was scared, that's all."
"If someone modifies your dream, the traces left behind will be erased within 24 hours. Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Sang Tian insisted, worried that Li Su would get to the bottom of it, so she used the spiritual spring water as a shield.
"No, I just thought the dream was strange, so I asked you that question this morning. None of the three families had sheep and beast husbands, and there couldn't be any in the desert. It was just a nightmare. I was just wondering why my spiritual spring water had lost its effect."
