A first-tier person can swallow a third-tier Holy Spirit Stone without any problem, but ordinary people cannot swallow Holy Spirit Stones of the second tier or higher. First-tier Holy Spirit Stones are the most suitable for transitioning, but how could he know that?
"What exactly happened?"
At this moment, it would be no exaggeration to describe Ning Yanlan as extremely anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can't abandon you!"
Ning Yanlan lifted Jiang Yuan up, the icy touch of his body sending chills down her spine, but Ning Yanlan didn't care anymore, half-dragging and half-carrying him as she ran.
At that moment, the monsters spotted Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan and began rushing towards them simultaneously.
"Jiang Yuan, you're so heavy!" Ning Yanlan was practically gritting her teeth to keep going. She was only a psionic type, and her psionic power had just reached level one. Her strength was about the same as that of an ordinary person. Jiang Yuan, who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 140 kilograms, was like a mountain to her.
Jiang Yuan was unable to attend to the outside situation while balancing the energy, but Ning Yanlan was in a dilemma.
"What should I do? I've already carried this all the way here on my back, I hope it won't be able to cross the river!"
What lay before Ning Yanlan was a river five or six meters wide, with a rapid and deep current.
Who are you? Where do you come from?
Just as Ning Yanlan was struggling with this, a sound rang out, followed by a rustling sound from the trees.
Ning Yanlan immediately shouted, "Don't attack! We are people in distress!"
In the apocalypse, many people who were unable to migrate in time or did not want to leave would form a small team to resist the monster's attack.
The people in front of you are undoubtedly such a small team. Generally, such teams are not bad in combat. They have things like bows and arrows and homemade guns. It would be unwise to provoke them directly.
"Who's behind you?" the first voice rang out.
"It's my husband! He was injured while we were fleeing together!" Ning Yanlan said immediately, as the monster behind her was getting closer and closer.
"Third Uncle, these people must be spies sent by the hunters. We can't let them in!" a young man said.
"No, we are not like that. My husband and I really ended up here in dire straits. We tried to force our way into the South City but failed, so we fled here!" Ning Yanlan hurriedly explained. She understood the laws of this apocalyptic world, and it was normal to be humble and ask for help when you needed it.
The middle-aged man who spoke first glanced at Ning Yanlan and then ordered, "Put the shelf over there and bring them over!"
"Third Uncle..."
The young man wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man, "Our village is short-handed and needs fresh blood to join us! Otherwise, we won't even be able to hold out for the Holy Spirit Tide in six days, let alone the next two days."
"put!"
Ning Yanlan then noticed an iron chain across the river, and that something resembling a cable car had been lowered across from the other side.
Without being told, Ning Yanlan carried Jiang Yuan and leaped onto the cable car, while the monsters behind them were already closing in.
"Pull it quickly!"
The young man shouted it out at that moment. Although he had disagreed before, he had changed his mind and worked even harder.
The cable car pulled toward the other side of the bridge, and several monsters leaped up and pounced on it.
"Spirit Shield!" Ning Yanlan immediately raised her shield upon seeing the situation.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The cable car was hit and wobbled, but luckily the monsters didn't get on the cable car; instead, they fell into the water one by one.
Suddenly, a group of basketball-sized fish covered in sharp teeth leaped out of the previously turbulent water. The monster had only been in the water for a few seconds when it was reduced to skeletons, and the fish then dispersed.
"this!"
Ning Yanlan was terrified. She had read in the information that this was a sharp-toothed fish, which was extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty, but only lived in water. She never expected that a group of sharp-toothed fish would live in such a place. No wonder those monsters dared not attack this village.
Are you alright?
Before Ning Yanlan could recover from her shock, the middle-aged man asked her a question with a gentle expression, and Ning Yanlan was able to see the buildings and people on this side of the river.
This is a small village with a dozen or so typical rural bungalows clustered together. There are seven people guarding this side of the river: two middle-aged men and five young men, including only one young girl.
The middle-aged man called out to the others, "You guys keep watch, I'll take them to see the village chief."
"Okay, Uncle! Be careful on the road!"
No one else objected, but the young man who had spoken earlier said, "Third Uncle, let Xiaolian go with this young lady. They're both girls, so it'll be easier to communicate with them!"
The man called Third Uncle's eyes flickered with uncertainty before he nodded and said, "Alright, then Xiao Lian can come along too!"
After saying that, Uncle San led the way. The only girl among the five young people walked up to Ning Yanlan and said, "Hello, sister, my name is Xu Lian!"
"Hello, Little Lian!" Ning Yanlan greeted him, but Jiang Yuan was so heavy that her expression was a little unnatural.
"Sister, do you need my help?" Xiao Lian pointed to Jiang Yuan, who was leaning on Ning Yanlan's shoulder.
"This isn't a good idea!" Ning Yanlan said, embarrassed.
"It's alright, I'll lend a hand!" Xiaolian said, reaching out to help Jiang Yuan.
"No, no! Xiaolian, I'll do it!"
The young man from before hurriedly stepped forward.
