Chapter 22 The Goat Walking Upright

While the few people were chatting, a man wearing a duckbill cap and dressed in a low-key manner suddenly approached them and asked mysteriously.

"Do you want a supernatural catalyst?"

"Guaranteed to awaken successfully, only 100 star coins."

He took out a bottle of purple-black stuff from his pocket.

"No need." Jiang Ning glanced at him, his attitude suddenly turned cold, and he pulled Ke Lai and Li Xiang away from the man.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of drug dealers in any world.

The man in the duckbill cap was not discouraged, and hurriedly said: "It can also change your supernatural power."

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, stopped walking, frowned and looked at him.

The man said, "I have been paying attention to you since your test. I know you are an F-class plant type, which is recognized as a waste superpower. However, I have a way to change your superpower and make you stronger."

He shook the liquid in his hand.

"I have never heard of anything on the market that can change superpowers." Jiang Ning did not buy his words. "These days, even spiritual weapons can be faked. A bottle of potion can help people wake up?"

Jiang Ning's words made Li Xiang's desire to buy fade away. He began to look at the liquid in the man's hand with suspicion.

"Of course, this is a holy water, which is not comparable to those spiritual weapons." The man's tone was extremely confident.

"Everyone says that their products can enhance mental strength." Ke Lai shrugged, she was well aware of these routines.

The three did not want to bother with him any more.

"If you think it's too expensive, the price can be lowered!" The man gritted his teeth, "How about eighty, eighty star coins?"

The three turned and left. How could it be a good medicine if it could be reduced so much at once, and it also included awakening superpowers?

Several people expressed deep doubts about the holy water the man was talking about.

"Fifty, the lowest." He was still shouting the price behind him.

Jiang Ning suddenly stopped.

The man thought there was a chance, and walked forward and said with a smile: "You won't lose money if you buy it, and you won't be fooled. It's definitely worth the money!"

The next second, Jiang Ning looked up and said to a man in uniform next to her: "Uncle, that man is suspected of selling fake medicine."

Her hand pointed in the direction behind her.

The on-duty police officer in charge of the security of the testing center walked over with a baton in hand.

Seeing this, the man turned around and ran away, not caring about Jiang Ning and the other two.

After watching the show for a while, the few people left. Before leaving, Li Xiang suddenly asked after the fact: "Do you think there is really such a medicine as he said?"

"There are not so many good things in the world." Jiang Ning smiled.

......

Another month passed after the supernatural power test ended that day, and soon it was the day of the monthly supernatural power test. Li Xiang did not believe in evil and went for another test.

The result was still the same: no mental power and no supernatural power.

On the contrary, Jiang Ning has been staying in her small garden to plant flowers since then, and occasionally she will go to the physical bookstore next door and stay there for a whole day.

Except for Aunt Li, she hardly spoke a word to the neighbors in the slum.

The neighbors were saying that Jiang Ning had gone insane because the supernatural power she awakened was too useless.

And the Jiang Ning who was rumored simply didn't like complicated interpersonal relationships.

Compared with the complexity of human society, plants are much simpler.

Aunt Li was not affected by the outsiders, and Jiang Ning had a grateful heart and often sent things to her family. After so many days of getting along, Aunt Li had already taken care of Jiang Ning as half a daughter, and would occasionally invite Jiang Ning to her home for dinner. Compared to

six months ago, Jiang Ning has gained a lot of weight, her face has gradually become fuller, and her eyebrows and eyes have begun to show delicateness.

At the dinner table, Uncle Li suddenly mentioned something: "I heard that an unknown monster outbreak broke out in the central area of ​​the western suburbs recently, and many high-level monsters have fled to the outer areas."

"A while ago, your uncle Wang had his leg bitten off by a monster, and he is still lying in the hospital." Uncle Li said.

Aunt Li paused as she served the rice, and asked hesitantly: "Then... shall we go later?"

"Yes, why not!" Li Xiang took two mouthfuls of rice, "We can't be so unlucky."

"You kid, what are you talking about!" Uncle Li gave Li Xiang a big slap on the back of his head.

The four of them finally went to the western suburbs for no other reason than that Li Xiang consumed too much energy to awaken his superpowers, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li's family no longer had extra money to support the family expenses.

As soon as Jiang Ning stepped into the no-man's land, the solemn atmosphere around her made her feel unusual.

Today, there are half as many guards outside the no-man's land.

"Stop!" Several people were stopped when they reached the desert area.

The guards looked them up and down and said, "You can't go in anymore. You can only move around here at most."

The guards knew that for these lower-class citizens, the no-man's land was their only hope for life. They couldn't completely cut off these people's source of livelihood. They could only mark out a safe zone as much as possible so that these people could move around.

"This..." Uncle Li looked around and sighed helplessly.

This is the suburbs of the city, how could they possibly catch an alien beast?

The guard certainly understood what he meant, but as part of his duty, he could only pretend not to understand: "Sorry, there have been several accidents in the no-man's land. For everyone's safety, please understand."

"Let's go." Uncle Li led the family reluctantly towards the protective net surrounding the outskirts of the city.

Jiang Ning looked back at the no-man's land behind the guard, pursed his lips, and left.

The four of them wandered around the protective net for an hour and a half, and did not encounter any trace of alien beasts during this period.

"How can there be any alien beasts around here!" Li Xiang sat down on the ground irritably.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and even she began to back down in her heart.

Under the current circumstances, it is indeed not suitable to go out.

Jiang Ning raised her eyelids.

"Wait a minute..."

A damaged hole suddenly appeared in the protective net ahead.

Several people looked in her direction, and Li Xiang was the first to say excitedly: "There are aliens, great!"

Jiang Ning frowned, and compared to Li Xiang's excitement, she felt a little uneasy.

In order to protect the safety of the city, the defense nets in the suburbs are connected to high-voltage electricity. Generally, aliens will be electrocuted if they touch them. Now the defense net suddenly has a big hole. What kind of powerful creature can ignore the damage caused by high-voltage electricity?

"Don't go over, let's go back and tell the guards." Jiang Ning stopped Li Xiang who was ready to move, and she told several people what she was thinking.

Involving life safety, Uncle Li and Aunt Li certainly agreed with Jiang Ning's opinion. Although Li Xiang was reluctant, he could only leave with the three of them.

The few people did not dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

The sun was shining brightly, and a hazy white mist appeared outside the city.

"Everyone hold on tight and don't get separated." Jiang Ning grabbed the hand of the person next to him.

The four of them held hands and walked in the mist for about half an hour, using the protective net as a signpost. Finally, they saw a vague figure in front of them.

"There is someone in front." Li Xiang took it for granted that the person was a guard, and after saying that, he quickened his pace and walked in its direction.

"Wait." Jiang Ning stopped him.

She remembered that there should be no guards at this location.

The three of them seemed to have regarded Jiang Ning as their backbone.

Jiang Ning motioned for everyone to stop, and she quietly observed the front.

The black shadow did not move, always in front of their sight.

Jiang Ning tried the Star Brain. The signal in the suburbs was not good to begin with, especially after the fog appeared, the signal of her Star Brain was directly cut off.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, your Star Brain is better than mine. Check if there is any signal. If there is, call the police immediately." Jiang Ning's expression was serious.

"Okay." The two nodded.

Li Xiang's eyes were fixed on the front. Seeing that thing moving, he turned his head and said, "Jiang Ning, the shadow is coming."

Jiang Ning swallowed his saliva and quietly took out a weapon from behind to protect himself.

The next second.

A person with a black body, two sharp horns on his head, burst teeth, mucus constantly secreted from his mouth, and walked upright... um... sheep? Appeared in the sight of everyone.

The horizontal pupils stared at the four people, and the eyes were extremely weird.

Everyone was frightened by it.

Among all the creatures that Jiang Ning knew so far, there was not a single one that could match the thing in front of him.

"What on earth is this?" Li Xiang stared at the creature in front of him and felt weak.

"I don't know." Jiang Ning shook his head honestly.

"What should we do now?" Aunt Li's voice was trembling, her Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she kept swallowing saliva.

"Act according to the situation, run if you can, and try to contact the guards." Jiang Ning forced himself to calm down. There was no point in being anxious in this situation.

The upright goat kept chewing in its mouth, and the nails on its front hooves were thick and sharp.

Its figure was so fast that before anyone could see how it moved, it appeared behind them in an instant.

"Run!" Jiang Ning shouted.

The goat located Jiang Ning's voice and rushed towards her first.

Jiang Ning dodged and raised her sword to block the goat's attack.

The samurai sword rubbed against the goat's hoof, making a lightning "sizzling" sound.

Fortunately, she had specially gone to the weapons store to order a thicker and stronger one, otherwise, it would have been chopped off by the goat's hoof.

But her strength was limited, the samurai sword was blown away by the goat, and Jiang Ning was also heavily thrown to the ground.

"Jiang Ning!"

"Hello... Hello, is this the guard team? We were attacked by an unknown alien beast outside the protective net on the left side of the monument. Please help! Please help!"

Li Xiang saw that the Star Brain in his hand finally had a signal, and immediately dialed for help.

"Hello..."

Unfortunately, the signal only lasted for more than ten seconds, and the call for help was hung up.

Li Xiang continued to try several times, but to no avail.

I don't know if their call for help was received.

Here, under the rapid attack of the goats, Jiang Ning was quickly defeated and suffered serious injuries in many parts of her body.

She gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, got up from the ground, and stared at the goat in front of her.

Compared to the monsters I saw before, this goat obviously has independent consciousness and is very smart.

No matter how Uncle Li and Aunt Li, who are not far away, provoke it, the goat remains indifferent. It always concentrates all its efforts, and its goal is to kill Jiang Ning first.
