Chapter 55 A formal fight
Everyone agreed with Jiang Rong's proposal, but after waiting for a whole day, the family's son did not come back.
According to the old lady, her eldest son would not come back for at least several days every time he went out.
Early the next morning, the six people who had been waiting for a whole day finally decided to leave, but this time they decided to go underground, which was relatively safer than above.
Before this, Jiang Rong's jade talisman space was upgraded.
It was an unexpected gain.
The space was twice as big as before, and besides that, she could enter the space.
While going to the bathroom, Jiang Rong entered the space.
It was so big inside that it was boundless, with half-light and half-dark void all around. She was inside, her feet stepping on the void, and her whole body was floating in the air.
She also saw Lingyu inside, and Lingyu was very happy when she saw her.
It was then that she realized that the space could be upgraded so quickly this time, and the crystal sapphire she had given to Lingyu before was actually the key trigger.
No wonder Lingyu, who usually doesn't speak actively, would take the initiative to ask for it from me before.
As for the principle behind this, Jiang Rong was not quite clear and did not ask much.
"We can't determine the route if we walk like this. Will we get further and further away?" Chen Ru said worriedly in the underground.
Jiang Rong was following behind Zhao Runguo at this time.
She originally had more than a dozen Guagua Brain Pills left in her space, and now she gave them all to Zhao Runguo.
Zhao Runguo was currently absorbing the energy in the brain pill while opening up a new path ahead.
"So after walking for a while, we have to go up and re-determine the direction." Jiang Rong replied.
They were now about one meter underground, each holding a flashlight, and the surroundings were bright.
"Then we can only pray that we don't run into the mutant beast's lair again."
After walking for about an hour, the few of them finally entered the county town, but only on the edge of the county town.
They are now facing a big problem, that is, the Gua Gua Beast Brain Pills of Zhao Runguo and Jiang Rong have been used up.
If there was no support from the brain pill, with Zhao Runguo's current supernatural power, he would not be able to hold on underground for long, not to mention bringing with him such a large group of "burdens".
However, thirty or fifty Qua Qua Beast Brain Pills were only enough for Zhao Runguo to take them a few hundred meters towards the county town.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo have several hundred brain pills from other mutant beasts combined, but Jiang Rong hasn't put much thought into it recently, so only the brain pills from the quack beast will be purified at this moment.
So now she had to either give up going underground, or stop temporarily and find a way to kill a batch of quack beasts, or delay for a few more days to allow her to study other methods of purifying brain pills.
"Does anyone of you have the brain pill of the quack beast? It's the mutant beast that looks like a frog and likes to lie outside the window." Jiang Rong asked helplessly.
After these words were spoken, the other people were not stingy and immediately took out the mutant beast brain pills that they had recently collected from their bags. Each person basically had a small plastic bag.
Then I picked and chose among them for a while.
A total of about a hundred were taken out.
They were busy all the way and killed many mutant beasts. They didn't have time to recover the brain cores of the mutant beasts, otherwise they would probably have more now.
Jiang Rong took it.
Then he showed Zhao Runguo the way.
He brought them to the warehouse where Cai'er had stored the supplies before.
This place is right at the intersection of the last town, very close to where Jiang Rong and the others were just now.
After they reached the approximate location, Zhao Runguo led them out of the ground.
Zhao Runguo's face was very pale at this moment, because he had to rely entirely on his own energy to support himself on the last stretch of the journey.
The door of the warehouse was closed at this moment, and it was pitch black inside. Six people were inside shining flashlights around.
All around them were stacked neatly layers of cardboard boxes, almost taking up half of the warehouse.
They were lucky. If they had come up from the other side, the cardboard boxes would have collapsed, and there would have been a lot of noise.
As soon as Zhao Runguo came up, he began to sit cross-legged and practice, absorbing the natural energy around his body for replenishment, but the effect was minimal.
Jiang Rong was not idle either. As soon as he came up, he immediately started to purify the more than one hundred Quaking Beast Brain Pills he got from Chen Ru and others.
Fortunately, her strength has improved a lot now, so the speed of purifying the mutant beast brain pill is much faster than before.
It takes about an hour to purify 30 pills, which means one pill can be purified every two minutes on average. This is completely different from the speed when I first came into contact with the Quacking Beast Brain Pill.
Jiang Rong spent ten minutes purifying about ten pills and handed them to Zhao Runguo.
With the blessing of brain pill energy, Zhao Runguo's recovery speed immediately became much faster, and his complexion gradually became rosy.
Jiang Rong continued.
The other people were curious about the cardboard boxes around them and walked towards them.
The size of these cardboard boxes is about one cubic meter, and at a glance, it is roughly estimated that there are at least two thousand boxes.
Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao were together, while Chen Ru and Xie Lei were alone, and they each walked in a different direction.
Then almost everyone opened the box closest to them at the same time.
What Chen Ru opened was a box of Xizhilang jelly, a whole box full of lychee flavor.
Xie Lei had a box of snail noodles, all packed in bags, with 20 bags in total, but they were all frozen hard now.
Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao had a box of spicy vegetarian beef tripe.
Several people looked at the things in the box and were instantly overjoyed.
But after a while, he began to sigh again.
Tsk tsk tsk, there are so many things, I'm afraid they can't even take a box away...
Afterwards, they walked together and discussed it. They decided to open a few more boxes and look for food they could use. At least they had to fill up the backpacks behind them and stuff them slowly, otherwise they would all be given away to others.
"Help them pick some food. Bring more biscuits, candies and chocolates." Chen Ru looked at the two people who were practicing and purifying their brain pills on the other side.
Several people nodded after hearing this. They were now a team. It was so dangerous outside, and everyone would prosper together and suffer together. In addition, Zhao Runguo had contributed a lot along the way, and Jiang Rong was able to save people regardless of the danger at the critical moment.
These alone are enough to make the others look at him differently.
Xie Lei now changed his attitude towards Jiang Rong. At least she was still useful, and would only be a hindrance if she wasn't.
Jiang Rong continued to purify on the spot for about three or four hours before he finally purified all the Gua Gua Beast Brain Pills.
At this time, Chen Ru and others had already filled their backpacks.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo also had a pile of miscellaneous snacks around them.
There are biscuits, chocolate, candy, ham, bread and so on.
They are all very filling.
After searching around, they found hundreds of boxes of bottled mineral water that had frozen into ice.
They each took two bottles.
Chen Ru and Xie Lei are currently using their fire-related abilities to boil water.
But it is also very troublesome to heat up the frozen mineral water. You have to melt it into water first, and then put it into the iron lunch box brought from home.
Besides, the capacity of the iron lunch box is not large and it can only be filled with half of water at a time.
So they have to boil a bottle of mineral water twice.
When Jiang Rong finished the purification, they were still burning Zhao Runguo's last portion.
Zhao Runguo finished earlier than Jiang Rong.
He had basically absorbed all of the dozen or so Qua Qua Beast Brain Pills that Jiang Rong had given him before, and now felt that his body was full of energy.
And as his supernatural power level continues to increase, he is now absorbing the Quaking Beast Brain Pill faster than before.
It used to take me two hours to absorb one pill, but now I can absorb two or three pills in one hour.
When Jiang Rong was purifying the brain pill, she naturally heard the conversation between the other people. Of course, she also had her own ideas about the supplies in this warehouse.
It was inconvenient for her to use the space with these people around, but she didn't want to leave these supplies here and give them to others.
After thinking it over, I decided that I had no choice but to let Uncle Zhao bury all these things first.
"Uncle Zhao, give me your cup. I've boiled hot water for you." Chen Ru said with a smile.
Jiang Rong and Uncle Zhao had risked their lives to save her before, and she had nothing to thank them for, so she could only try her best to help with small matters like this.
"I'll do it myself. Thank you, Xiao Chen, for the hot water." Uncle Zhao smiled and took the cup to get water. It's really not easy to get hot water in this kind of weather.
Chen Ru also boiled the water for Jiang Rong.
The ones for Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao were cooked by Xie Lei.
"Do you want to eat some snail noodles? We haven't had any hot food these past few days." Xie Lei was thinking about the box of snail noodles he had just eaten, and he felt a little greedy.
However, since this thing is troublesome to eat, he didn't put it in his bag. So from just now until now, he has been thinking about it, and his mind is full of regretful thoughts.
I can’t take it with me, and I don’t know who will benefit from it in the future.
"Sister Chen Ru, are you in charge of cooking?" Jiang Miao was the first to laugh when he heard this.
Xie Lei listened and looked at Chen Ru, who was now looking at him with both nose and eyes, and shrugged and said, "I'll cook, you guys just eat."
“But how can we cook and eat without chopsticks, pots and bowls?”
"I just saw some buckets of instant noodles there. I can use that bowl to put them in, and the remaining noodles and seasonings can be put in the bag and eaten later, but the pot..." Xie Lei looked at the several small lunch boxes in front of everyone and felt a little troubled. It's not that they can't be cooked, but they are just too small.
"Hehe, use this." Jiang Rong slowly took out a medium-sized dry pot from his backpack and handed it over.
Xie Lei looked at...
Chen Ru...
Jiang Shang Jiang Miao...
She even brought a pot with her?!
Xie Lei looked at Jiang Rong with a weird look in his eyes, but finally he couldn't resist the temptation of having a pot to cook snail noodles, so he reached out to take it.
Chen Ru was stunned for a second, her eyebrows curved and she smiled.
Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao looked at Jiang Rong with some curiosity at this moment.
Zhao Runguo thought that Jiang Rong had been placed in the gem space when he came out, so his expression was normal at this moment.
It is much more convenient to cook with a pot.
After that, the few of them didn't really just stand there and watch. Jiang Shang helped Xie Lei move the two boxes of snail noodles and barrels of instant noodles that they had found before.
"Sister Chen Ru, can you help me cook some instant noodles? I don't like eating snail noodles." Jiang Miao said half-coquettishly while sitting next to Chen Ru.
Among the three girls present, she is the youngest and the most lively.
Chen Ru nodded readily to this.
Among the people present, Jiang Miao and Uncle Zhao were eating instant noodles, while the other four were waiting for Xie Lei's snail noodles.
Xie Lei, Chen Ru and Jiang Shang all like to eat it, but as for Jiang Rong, she just wants to try something new.
She has eaten a lot of instant noodles since her rebirth, but she has never eaten snail noodles. She just remembers that it smelled stinky, but tasted good.
Xie Lei was quite worldly-wise this time. He cooked a bowl of soup for Chen Ru, Jiang Rong and Jiang Shang respectively, and then cooked his own.
Jiang Rong ate the snail noodles in the instant noodle bucket, and after a taste, he found that he liked the sour bamboo shoots very much, which were crunchy and chewy. In addition, there were bean curd skin and sour beans in it. If you look closely, you can see that there are actually a few snail meats in the soup.
But it was rare for her to have a hot meal in a few days, and she hadn't eaten for a long time, so she was a little hungry. At this moment, she thought that even white rice would taste good...
The meal took about an hour or two. After everyone finished eating, it was around one in the afternoon.
At this moment, the whole warehouse is filled with the smell of snail noodles. It tastes good, but it smells really bad...
After dinner, it was Xie Lei who cleaned Jiang Rong's pot. Jiang Rong looked at it for a long time and was a little surprised.
She thought that this person would be difficult to get along with because of his eccentric and strange personality.
I didn't expect that when he cooked, he was like a completely different person from usual, with the gentle aura of a house husband all over his body.
"Xiao Rong, do those mutant beast brain pills you purified have any special effects?" Chen Ru had just finished eating and suddenly asked.
Jiang Rong did not hide this, nodded openly, and explained: "After absorbing and purifying the brain pill, the mutant will not be at risk of being contaminated and turning into a monster, and the utilization rate of the energy in the brain pill can reach more than 90%."
"What if it is an ordinary mutant beast brain pill, to what extent can it be utilized?" Jiang Miao asked curiously.
“Maybe around fifty percent.”
"Is there such a big difference?" Chen Ru was a little surprised.
Jiang Rong nodded calmly.
"If you have the brain pills of the quack beast in the future, I can help you purify some of them." Jiang Rong took the initiative to say.
So far, she thinks these people are not too bad, except for Xie Lei, whose quality is questionable, but he is still willing to cook for everyone... which is also quite rare.
So if they have any extra Quaking Beast Brain Pills, Jiang Rong would not be reluctant to help them purify some of them.
After all, in this way, the overall strength of their current team will be stronger.
The quality and quantity of brain pills will greatly improve the endurance of everyone's supernatural power output, which is equivalent to replenishing mana.
Moreover, she secretly didn't want any of them to have an accident, but at the same time, this was also a way for her to win people's hearts.
"Really! Thank you Sister Rongrong!!!" Jiang Miao said happily after hearing this.
"Xiao Rong, thank you." Chen Ru thanked him sincerely after hearing this. She was thanking him not only because of this matter, but also to thank Jiang Rong for saving her last time.
I was really scared last time.
I never found a good opportunity afterwards.
Now is the perfect time.
Jiang Rong also curled the corners of his lips, nodded, and said nothing more.
Jiang Shang and Xie Lei also had their own thoughts after hearing what Jiang Rong said before.
"Sister Rongrong, the quack beast you mentioned is... that one, right?" Jiang Miao was just feeling happy, but when he looked up, he saw a mutant beast that looked like a frog suddenly crawling on the glass window behind Jiang Rong.
At this moment, the two huge frog eyes were staring inside without blinking.
Not long after, the same mutant beasts appeared in all 32 windows around the warehouse.
Jiang Rong also saw it now.
I was thinking, Speak of the devil, he will appear...
"They really came here because of the smell." When Zhao Runguo saw these quacking beasts, he thought of the ones at home before.
"When the natural disaster started, they ate a lot of people in the village." As Jiang Miao spoke, her eyes became filled with hatred. Her second uncle's family was so cruel!
However, those quack beasts were very arrogant at first, but later on, for some reason, they suddenly disappeared, so that when she and her brother wanted to avenge their second uncle's family, they couldn't find any trace of them.
"Uncle Zhao, can these be taken underground?" Jiang Rong now drew his attention back and pointed at the supplies in the warehouse.
Since we can't collect them right now, it would be nice if we could hide them underground temporarily.
At least it's not easy to be discovered, and she can come and collect it if she has the chance in the future.
Of course, if these supplies hidden underground were eventually discovered by others, she would have to consider herself unlucky.
"Let me try." Zhao Runguo only dared to give it a try because of the blessing of the hundreds of mutant beast brain pills that Jiang Rong had just purified.
After all, more than 2,000 boxes of supplies is a huge project.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
However, before Zhao Runguo could try, the windows around the warehouse were smashed by a slap from the Quaking Beast.
After that, the scene became very lively.
Dozens of quack beasts jumped in from outside at the same time and rushed towards Jiang Rong and the others at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah Xuan, can you please collect all the cardboard boxes in the warehouse while there is chaos?" Jiang Rong said to the guardian spirit in her heart. She thought that when everyone started fighting, they would not be able to pay attention to other things.
"Okay, Xiao Rongrong, don't worry."
Jiang Rong said "hmm", then grabbed a handful of colorful mutant beast brain pills from the space and gave them to the guardian spirit.
The last time I heard it say it wanted this, it must be useful for something.
Just think of it as a reward for it.
Although...if this guy really fights the mutant beasts, none of them present may be able to beat him.
After Jiang Rong finished his instructions, he said to Zhao Runguo beside him: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry about those supplies for now."
"Everyone, fight first. If you can't win, run underground. Try to concentrate on fighting and don't disperse."
At this moment, Jiang Rong and his companions were delicious food in the eyes of these quack beasts, but in the eyes of Jiang Rong and others, they were also "good things" worth fighting for.
"Then let's give it a try first." Jiang Miao looked eager to try.
Although she doesn't take the lead in attacking, she will definitely try her best to help everyone kill these things!
Almost in just a moment, dozens of mutant quack beasts came forward at a very fast speed.
But because of Jiang Miao's gravity ability, when they were more than ten meters away from the crowd, their speed slowed down at the same time.
Although it wasn't too slow, it was enough for Jiang Rong and the others to react.
The number of these quack beasts was not as terrifying as the previous mutated centipedes, and they did not look as disgusting, so Jiang Miao and Chen Ru were able to deal with them with ease.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo both used arrows at this time.
The twenty arrows behind him almost hit their targets.
Chen Ru and Jiang Rong are in one group, and Xie Lei and Zhao Runguo are in another group, working together in pairs.
The main reason is that Jiang Rong and his men have limited arrows, and they have to recover them after killing the enemies. At this time, Chen Ru and Xie Lei play a protective role.
Jiang Shang and Jiang Miao were a team. Jiang Shang used three metal spikes and could kill three at a time, provided that the opposing quack beasts were not stronger than him. He was also protecting Jiang Miao while attacking those hateful quack beasts.
While the men were fighting the mutant quacks, the guardian spirit followed Jiang Rong's instructions and quietly emerged from his pocket. In order to be inconspicuous, it even retracted its pair of radiant purple wings and crawled over the ground obediently.
As it was crawling, a huge frog suddenly appeared in front of it, lying horizontally in front of it, staring at it without blinking.
He even stuck out his tongue at it provocatively.
“Hiss!”
Get out of here!
The guardian spirit wagged its tail at the big fish, signaling it to give way!
Then after a long while, the quacking beasts finally quacked.
After that, he continued to stare at it without blinking, without any reaction from his body.
The guardian spirit hummed in his heart: If Xiao Rongrong hadn't told you to keep a low profile, you would have been finished, you idiot.
After that, it didn't bother to argue with this idiot. If it didn't give way, why not change lanes itself?
However, when the quack beast saw it moving, it actually followed it all the way.
The guardian spirit has a question mark over his head? !
I was already upset, and now I'm even more upset.
Then its two pitch-black eyes turned red for a moment, and then the big quack opposite didn't even have time to make another "quack" before the skin all over its body began to fester instantly, and the two huge eyes fell off its body.
In just a moment, it rotted into a pool of blood and flesh.
The guardian spirit looked at the pool of blood with some regret. Qin Sang's ability was useful, but after using it, the "brain pills" of those monsters were completely useless.
It still likes to swallow.
However, compared to its own body, it doesn't like any of these!
I don’t know what Qin Sang is doing. He can come out, so why doesn’t he come out!!!
The guardian spirit is dissatisfied, but as it is someone else's guardian spirit, what can it do?
The guardian spirit silently complained in its heart while doing its best to complete the task assigned to it by Jiang Rong.
When collecting things, it felt a little strange. It felt that it liked that human being more and more recently, but it didn’t know why?
It's so confusing.
Also, that human was obviously easy to get along with, and even it liked her more and more, so why did Qin Sang seem to avoid her like a tiger? !
Humph. This was the first time that the guardian spirit felt that his friend’s vision was a little poor.
