Randy snapped out of his reverie and focused on walking.
The people following behind were initially happy upon emerging, but their joy quickly turned to worry. After all, they were in the open, unprotected environment; if they were infected with parasites, they would truly be doomed.
I wanted to kill you to escape, but I feared more insects would escape, leaving me beyond cure and only able to be burned alive. No one wants to endure that kind of pain again; just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
Guo Xiaoxiao was at the very front of the group, and they were almost inside the forest when the system finally spoke.
"If you turn your palm up, I'll give you the thing."
Guo Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and hovered it in mid-air, and a compass-like object, about the size of her palm, appeared.
Amansa was also riding on a lion. She saw what Guo Xiaoxiao was holding but didn't dare to ask loudly. She just looked left and right, staring intently.
[System: The safe route has been planned for you. Just follow the directions on the pointer.]
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, system. I really couldn't survive without you."
[System: "That's right, without me, you would all die."]
Guo Xiaoxiao looked down at the pointer; it was pointing forward, whereas she had thought it would lead deeper into the woods.
After walking for a while, the pointer changed direction, pointing left past the little car. She leaned down and whispered to Randy, "Follow her directions..."
Guo Xiaoxiao led Amansa and the orcs forward, encountering nothing strange. The surrounding vegetation grew increasingly lush, and even the wind was gentle.
"Xiaoxiao, there seems to be a water source up ahead!"
Hearing Amansa's words, Guo Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a river. She gestured for the people behind her to stop; she needed to call Cang Jue, or they would lose their way if they went any further.
From a distance, the barrier hadn't disappeared; it still surrounded the beast city. Therefore, it was clear that once activated, the barrier's ability didn't follow the user's physical movement, but rather their thoughts.
Guo Xiaoxiao uses psychic communication
"Cang Jue, you can fly over now. There's an opening at the collapsed part of the city."
Cang Jue received the order and nodded to Xiao Ni. The orcs at the city gate all transformed into their beast forms and flew to the back, leaving through a small gate.
It took less than ten minutes to fly to the end of the city. Without daring to delay, we immediately flew out through the small gate. Because the group was quite long, we could still see the orcs behind us who hadn't yet disappeared into the forest.
Cang Jue flew low in the air, issuing commands to the orcs.
"Find the area where Sishui is, join them on their journey, I'm going ahead to find Xiaoxiao."
Because they had to follow Guo Xiaoxiao's route, the beastmen did not revert to their beastly nature; they continued walking step by step in human form.
Finding people is also quite easy
The orcs below the city walls, seeing that Cang Jue and the gatekeepers had suddenly disappeared, erupted into a riot, further exacerbating the already crowded and chaotic situation.
We agreed to open the city gates in the morning, and you've taken so long, and now the person is nowhere to be found. What kind of nonsense is this?
There was no one on the city wall, but the noise was deafening.
"Where are they? They're all gone. They must be playing a trick on us."
"Hurry up and come out! Someone's here. We're waiting to go in. Don't go back on your word. The High Priest promised yesterday!"
"I knew it was a trap. They were talking so nicely, but then they kept us waiting here and wouldn't let us into the city. They're probably up to something."
"..."
"Set it on fire! Force them out. We can't go in, and we're not allowed to stay inside any longer."
"It's packed with people, don't push, you'll get crushed!"
"Can't you all move back a bit? I'm in front, are you trying to crush me?"
The orcs' chatter was futile, as the people in the city completely ignored them. The city, deserted after a day of competition, was now an empty city; everything usable had been taken away.
It's useless. Some saints are unwilling to give it away and simply damage or burn it on the spot. Apart from the food Cang Jue left at the city gate, even if the orcs come in, they won't get much benefit.
They flew forward, emerging from the forest. Guo Xiaoxiao led everyone forward while simultaneously communicating with Cang Jue using her spiritual energy.
Guo Xiaoxiao only breathed a sigh of relief when Cang Jue landed steadily in front of her.
Arthur had somehow gotten to the front row and was talking to Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, I want to know how far we'll be walking today."
Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky, estimating the distance; the pointer could only indicate direction, not time.
"I'm not sure either, it must be quite far. Anyway, let's keep going until we reach a safe place. This pointer will give us instructions then."
After hearing this, Arthur fell silent. The team was currently quite stable, and everyone followed Guo Xiaoxiao without complaint.
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the road ahead. Now everyone knew how to drink, and there was a section of the road ahead that was a waterway, but the pointer didn't stop; it kept pointing forward.
From yesterday until now, Guo Xiaoxiao has been in a state of high tension and is very tired. Even when she relaxes, her complexion is not good; she looks a bit pale.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Arthur noticed that his female's expression was off and asked her with concern.
Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
"Give me what you have, and tell me how to use me to lead the way. You can lie on Randy and sleep for a while."
"Okay"
Guo Xiaoxiao stopped trying to be strong. She had barely slept all night, and in the morning she ate some fruit, which didn't really fill her stomach. She decided to let the baby in her belly rest.
The little snakes all followed Carlos, knowing they were fleeing. You were very well-behaved and didn't run around.
Guo Xiaoxiao told Arthur how to use it.
The pointer is very simple; the dial is blank with a red line. The direction the line points is the direction the dial moves.
Arthur immediately understood and led the team in the direction of the pointer. Guo Xiaoxiao fell asleep on Randy's lap, and Randy walked very lightly, afraid of waking her.
Just as the last vestiges of sleep were fading from her consciousness, Guo Xiaoxiao remembered that her skill shield hadn't been activated yet.
She used her mind to remove the cover...
…
The orcs outside the city were already packed so tightly they were barely recognizable. As soon as the protective shield opened, the first orc to spot it pointed towards the orc city and shouted...
"Look! The barrier is open! We can enter the city gate now!"
Upon hearing his shout, the orcs who hadn't yet entered cheered and rushed towards the city gate.
The orcs at the front of the line weren't having an easy time. When those behind them surged forward, they lost their balance and fell, causing a stampede. No one listened to Cang Jue's earlier advice to come one by one.
The crowd surged into the city, turning the city gates into a human sea, completely out of control. Even with people present, it was impossible to maintain order.
The orcs' attempts to slow their advance into the city were futile; they couldn't stop the throngs of people pouring into the city.
Some orcs, accompanied by females, panicked upon seeing this and roared...
