"Rest here tonight and take turns keeping watch."
At night, they hid in a house and Zhou Yaning assigned them the task of keeping watch.
"No need to arrange anyone, I'll keep watch." Lu Chengchuan interrupted her.
Zhou Yaning turned around, thought for a long time, and then said, "Everyone go and rest. Get up on time at six o'clock tomorrow and set off on time at half past six."
Zhou Yaning didn't ask anything. Lu Chengchuan was on night watch, so he must have done a better job than them.
Everyone was happy to learn that they didn't have to keep watch. However, they had to wear protective clothing to sleep, which was not very comfortable. They hoped that they would not feel sore when they woke up tomorrow.
Check the protective clothing on your body to make sure it is not damaged before going to sleep with peace of mind.
The environment in Anyang City was not very good, with dangerous mucus everywhere, but they were not afraid. They went to bed early after dinner, and soon all five of them fell asleep.
Lu Chengchuan sat on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated.
After mastering the art of soul-capturing, he can completely replace sleep with meditation. Moreover, his senses will be greatly enhanced during meditation, and he can hear any slight movement.
Late at night, the roars of monsters and gunshots were heard from afar. Lu Chengchuan sat quietly, and the others were sleeping soundly.
After a while, Lu Chengchuan opened his eyes and looked at the people who were sleeping. He took out a few crystals from his pocket.
In the darkness, the crystal in Lu Chengchuan's hand quietly cracked, and then a few seconds later, the crystal turned into powder and slowly fell into the blood-colored mucus on the ground.
【Absorb pure energy and gain 20 days of life.】
The powder fell to the ground, and Lu Chengchuan took out another crystal.
By absorbing nine crystals in a row, a total of one hundred and ninety-six days of lifespan can be gained. The lifespan provided by the crystal is related to its size; the larger the crystal, the more lifespan it provides.
After absorbing the crystal in his hand, Lu Chengchuan continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
At six in the morning, the phone rang, and Zhou Yaning was the first to wake up. After turning off the ringer, the other four woke up one after another. They first stretched their bodies to relieve their slightly stiff limbs.
At half past six, after breakfast, everyone set off on time.
They were going to the area near the west of the city center, where the army had discovered the blood beads.
Zhou Yaning did a quick calculation and concluded that at their current speed, they would be able to reach their destination tonight.
The team walked forward at a normal walking pace. Just as they were about to cross a street, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by a tremor.
"What is that!"
Qian Xiaoling's voice trembled slightly. She pointed to the front left, and everyone saw the source of the voice.
A skinless giant slowly walked out from behind a tall building. It was about seven or eight stories tall, and from head to toe, it was estimated to be more than twenty meters tall.
The giant walked slowly towards him, and Lu Chengchuan could feel its powerful aura, which was no weaker than that of the Corpse Demon King.
"Hide!"
The skinless giant seemed to be moving slowly, but in the blink of an eye, the giant was about to come over.
Lu Chengchuan quickly told them to hide. He wanted to kill the giant, but Zhou Yaning and the others had a mission. If a fight broke out, Zhou Yaning and the others would have no choice but to run away, otherwise the aftermath of the battle alone would kill them.
Everyone quickly hid in the house. Lu Chengchuan restrained his breath and hid with them.
As the giant approached, the shaking of the ground became more obvious. Zhou Yaning and the others didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the giant would hear it.
Fortunately, the giant didn't see them just now. Everyone hid in the room. The giant walked past them and disappeared into the tall building in a short while.
Zhou Yaning didn't bring his men out until the shaking on the ground stopped.
"Is this monster very powerful?"
After making sure the giant had gone far away, Zhou Yaning turned around and said something.
"It's similar to the Corpse Demon King. Now is not the time to fight it." Lu Chengchuan didn't want to fight. After all, if he wanted to survive and become stronger, he had to kill monsters.
Such a powerful monster, how many years of lifespan would it take?
Lu Chengchuan urgently needs more life. The second level of the Soul-Capture Technique requires two hundred years of life. He only has twenty years left to live, which is not enough.
Looking at the direction where the giant left, Lu Chengchuan was still thinking about going up and fighting.
It's not for the fun of fighting, he really needs longevity.
Upon hearing that the giant's strength was about the same as that of the Corpse Demon King, Zhou Yaning's heart tightened. She knew how powerful the Corpse Demon King was, so how could such a monster appear in Anyang City?
The giant walked away, and they continued to move forward. In the process, they encountered hundreds of monsters. They killed the monsters and obtained more than a dozen crystals.
Lu Chengchuan got the seven crystals and specifically told Zhou Yaning that they were useful to him.
Zhou Yaning knew that he had a secret, so she didn't say anything and gave him half of the crystal.
By nightfall, they finally arrived near the city center.
"Rest and don't make too much noise."
It was late, so Zhou Yaning asked them to rest first and go look for the blood beads after dawn.
Just as they were about to rest, they felt a slight tremor in the floor of the room again, and the tremor intensified over time.
"What's going on?!"
Everyone ran to the window covered in slime. Chen Long used a dagger to tear a hole in it and looked outside. Others followed his example and tore holes in the window one after another.
Outside the house, in the darkness, a huge figure walked past them.
It's that giant again!
Everyone held their breath and stood still, waiting for the giant to pass and leave before they slowly retreated.
"Why is it here?" Zhou Yaning said in a low voice.
"Maybe it's patrolling its territory? Or maybe it's not the same one." Qian Xiaoling answered in a low voice. She still felt a lingering fear as she watched the giant walk past her.
"It's the same one. They have the same scent." Lu Chengchuan suddenly interrupted.
The monster's aura was the same as this morning, and he was basically certain that it was the same monster.
"Go and rest, don't think too much."
They have already come this far. No matter what, they will get up and look for it tomorrow. If it doesn't work, they will retreat.
The quiet night passed quickly, the sun was high in the sky, and everyone who woke up early immediately set out to look for the mysterious blood beads.
After going deep into the city, Zhou Yaning found that there were very few monsters here and no people were seen.
They said they were looking for something, but in fact they didn't know where to look, so they could only wander aimlessly around the city.
The central area was bombed for more than half a month. The area near the dome was razed to the ground, and many buildings here were also destroyed.
Beneath the ruins, the six people searched for mucus veins everywhere, hoping to find blood beads.
"This seems to be Xingyuan Square. There used to be a lot of people here."
Qian Xiaoling was holding a tablet with a map of Anyang City on it. Based on the map, she told everyone their current location.
The once prosperous square turned into ruins and was occupied by dangerous slime. Seeing this scene, Qian Xiaoling felt a little uncomfortable.
"Be careful here, I feel something nearby."
