After the Sword Card, they stayed in the manor for two days to deal with all the aftermath of Long Jiujiu. The trio, together with the Shadow Demon brothers, set off towards the north of East.
Official information provided by the administrator of East said that a huge monster appeared in the Gobi desert north of East. Two villages have been attacked by the monster. The villagers who survived fled to the town and brought this horrific news.
The news should be true and reliable, but we don’t know what the big monster is and whether it is still there.
Because of the existence of Lin Xiaoman's shadow demon brothers, the system will go black when the time comes. Lin Xiaoman cannot collect these ten human-shaped shadow demon brothers into the magic card. After all, once the shadow demon brothers go in, their bodies will die, and if their bodies die, they will have no brothers to use.
So in order to determine whether there are monsters around, the troops are divided into two groups. Lin Xiaoman, with ten brothers and three carriages loaded with supplies, slowly wanders around, while Shao Qi and Long Jiujiu act as scouts and go ahead to explore the way.
Although there were no mobile phones in this era, it didn’t matter. Shao Qi used local materials to make some fireworks flares.
Seeing the signal flare means that the monster has been discovered, so Lin Xiaoman goes over to join them.
Falling far behind like this, two days later, Lin Xiaoman stepped into a barren land, a Gobi area full of stones and sand!
According to the information she had, there were several villages scattered across this Gobi Desert, all of which were mining villages, and the villagers made a living from mining.
On the second day after entering the Gobi Desert, Lin Xiaoman received a message through the chat group. Shao Qi and Long Jiujiu had arrived at Black Rock Village, where the monsters had last appeared. They planned to wait there tonight and send a signal flare if the system screen went black and there were monsters.
After asking for the address of Heiyan Village and comparing it with the map, Lin Xiaoman stopped 30 miles away for fear of causing signal interference, and set up a tent to rest.
While having lunch at noon, Lin Xiaoman encountered a group of hundreds of refugees.
Playing the role of a good man, Lin Xiaoman distributed some water and food to this group of people, and then he got the news.
This group of people are villagers from Heishi Village, and Heishi Village and Heiyan Village are only seven or eight kilometers apart.
The night before yesterday, dozens of villagers from Heiyan Village ran to Heishi Village shouting for help, saying that Heiyan Village was attacked by monsters.
The villagers of Heishi Village immediately became alert, and the village chief immediately sent people to Heiyan Village to check the situation. The people who went out to check the situation brought back terrible news: the entire village of Heiyan Village was destroyed.
In panic, the chief of Black Stone Village decided to run away with all the villagers. They packed up their bags and fled to East together.
After learning about the situation of the monsters, Lin Xiaoman took advantage of the time when the villagers of Black Stone Village were having lunch and resting to make full use of his social prowess and went around among the villagers to get information.
Unfortunately, after much questioning, the only thing that came out of the ground was black iron ore. The villagers of Black Stone Village didn't dig up anything strange in the surrounding area.
Because no one had died accidentally in Black Stone Village in the past three months, Lin Xiaoman guessed that their village really did not have a magic-sealing device.
With a sympathetic expression that said "You are so miserable", Lin Xiaoman donated some money to several villagers from Heiyan Village who were mixed in the crowd, and then another wave of people came to inquire about the news.
Unfortunately, according to them, apart from the ore, Black Rock Village did not dig up anything strange. However, a villager in Black Rock Village was unfortunately killed by the ore a month ago.
According to experience, when monsters start to cause trouble, they must first escape from the magic seal. Only when a "sacrifice" dies can the monsters escape.
Of course, the situation could be different, and we can't say for sure at this point.
According to Executive Officer East's information, the Gobi monster seemed to have appeared half a month ago, and the first place it appeared was Huangshi Village.
Lin Xiaoman guessed that the man from Black Rock Village probably died accidentally, and the most likely place for the Demon Sealing Device was in Yellowstone Village. However, the few Yellowstone Village survivors who fled to East Town had no idea what was dug out from the ground.
The survivors only knew that people had started disappearing in their village half a month earlier, initially one or two per night. Then, five or six days later, the monster appeared. As for what it looked like, they had no idea. It was dark, and they were running fast, so they didn't see it. What they knew for sure was that it was enormous.
After having lunch and resting for about an hour, the people from Black Stone Village continued their journey towards East.
Lin Xiaoman shared the news he learned in the group.
Black Rock Village was attacked the night before yesterday, and after another night, I don't know if the monster is still there. Maybe it has moved to another location.
Anyway, the investigation had nothing to do with her. After everyone in Black Stone Village left, she arranged five younger brothers into groups to take turns on guard. Lin Xiaoman then calmly went into the tent and took an afternoon nap.
Wake up refreshed.
Lin Xiaoman, who has a lot of free time, exercises and practices martial arts hard. After dinner, it is time for exercise again.
As the sky gradually darkened, several bonfires were lit to provide illumination and deter wild animals. Lin Xiaoman warmed himself by the fire in the safest place in the center. After autumn, the weather was getting colder day by day.
I kept saying this in the group chat, and before I knew it, the chat group went dark. The monster revival time of 8 o'clock had arrived.
Looking in the direction of Heiyan Village under the night sky, Lin Xiaoman assigned observation tasks to his two younger brothers, and then continued to do his part.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but just as Lin Xiaoman was lost in thought, a younger brother in charge of observation shouted, "Ms. Erica, look! A flare!"
When Lin Xiaoman looked over there, there was only the pitch-black night sky. However, after looking at that direction for about two minutes, another flare lit up.
Due to limited materials, Shao Qi's homemade flares were not that powerful. They were not very bright and did not fly very high, but they were still visible at a distance of about 30 kilometers.
The monster appeared!
Act quickly, leaving five younger brothers to watch the place and the luggage carriage, Lin Xiaoman took the other five people and rushed towards the direction of the signal flare.
After riding the horse at full speed for about twenty minutes, and after traveling more than twenty kilometers, Lin Xiaoman, sensing something unusual, shouted "Stop!"
After reining in the horse, Lin Xiaoman felt it carefully and it seemed like the ground was shaking?
She dismounted, half-knelt, and listened with her ear to the ground. She didn't know how to locate something by sound, which was too advanced, but she was sure that the vibration was extremely strong, as if something large was coming towards them...
