Chapter 480: Bizarre Village

The straight-line distance between the landmasses across the strait wasn't considered very far; after all, it was a distance that could be seen by the naked eye.

So it didn't take long for Lan Qingyou to cross the strait and arrive at the land on the opposite side.

Compared to the location of Elisa's workshop, it appeared much better here.

At least there was green grassland in the distance from the beach.

And looking at the surroundings, she should have arrived at a grassland area.

Although it was certainly much better than a desert, Lan Qingyou would quickly grow tired of a place where the scenery was still uniform.

So after thinking about it, she still chose to fly along the coastline.

At least there was still a sea breeze to blow here.

As a result, not long after flying, she saw a river mouth about twenty meters wide.

After all, whether it was pitching camp or building a city by the river, it was an extremely convenient and conventional option.

Thus, Lan Qingyou flew upstream without even thinking about it.

It wasn't that she wanted to find some town to go in and rest, but simply to find a destination for herself.

Anyway, she would have to pitch camp at night after flying around for fun.

And compared to the beach, pitching camp in a riverbank area was definitely more convenient and saved trouble, not to mention the danger was much lower.

Just now, when flying over the sea, she saw schools of aquatic monsters above Level 50 below the surface.

If it were before, she definitely would have been very happy to absorb the experience.

But after ten months of high-intensity combat, she wanted to rest a bit and properly enjoy the sense of security brought by formidable strength after her massive increase in power.

Having fought battles for ten months, what's wrong with enjoying oneself a bit?

Nothing else, just wanting to have fun!

Sure enough, after flying for about an hour, Lan Qingyou discovered a village from the air.

This village looked like it could hold a few thousand people, and Lan Qingyou discovered quite a few Sanctuaries among them.

There was a kind of beauty unique to human 'gregariousness' in it.

But Lan Qingyou just felt it was very strange.

This was mainly because the village was too quiet.

So many Sanctuaries clustered together didn't look like an intentional arrangement by the world's will no matter how you looked at it; rather, it looked more like they had migrated from elsewhere, just like the residential area in Typhon City.

Although she didn't know what method was used, the bizarre quietness was real.

Strange, bizarre.

These all aroused Lan Qingyou's curiosity, so she immediately flew down, preparing to see what exactly happened in this place.

Lan Qingyou, flying at the lowest speed through the town, frowned slightly.

Just as seen from the air, this place was indeed deserted, and there was no one in those Sanctuaries either.

No... it should be said that the doors of these Sanctuaries were bizarrely wide open.

It was as if the people living here had all opened their doors at the same time.

With the doors open, it meant the people inside either left without closing the door, or some emergency occurred that didn't even give them the time to close the door.

However, this wasn't the part that made Lan Qingyou the most curious.

What she cared about the most were the traces of battle on the town's main road.

Stone slabs slashed by sharp blades bore scars, ruined walls retained the marks of being scorched by the flames of war, and even the vines on the trees next to them were dripping with scarlet fresh blood.

It felt like an annihilation battle, but what was strange was that the battle here should have looked very intense, yet there were very few bloodstains, not to mention there were no corpses left behind.

It couldn't be that the enemies found their conscience and collected the corpses for them.

Speaking of which, it was mentioned in Diana's report that those extreme guys liked to eat the meat and blood of Evolvers as a condition for their own evolution.

Could the ones who ransacked this place be such dangerous guys?

Uncertain, Lan Qingyou slowly floated along the street, wanting to find some strong clues.

As a result, at a certain intersection, a shrill howl suddenly came from afar.

"It's this way..."

Looking at a certain road extending out of the village, Lan Qingyou decided to go over and take a look.

After searching for so long, she finally encountered a living person. If she didn't rush over, she would be doing a disservice to the little bit of time she wasted.

However, just as Lan Qingyou was flying and about to leave the village, she saw a blood-covered person frantically dash out from the bushes without choosing a path.

As a result, just as he charged out, he happened to come face-to-face with Lan Qingyou, who was coming out of the village.

With just one encounter, just a brief moment of eye contact, this person immediately made an action that Lan Qingyou found very puzzling.

She saw that in the next second after making eye contact, his originally terrified face revealed three parts anger, three parts hatred, and four parts decisiveness.

Subsequently, with a leap, he lunged toward Lan Qingyou, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.

Good heavens!

She could understand anger and decisiveness, but what was with the hatred?

I just arrived at this wretched place, alright.

The somewhat depressed Lan Qingyou didn't indulge the other party either and directly slapped out an A-grade Levitation Spell.

In an instant, that person accelerated toward Lan Qingyou in a posture he himself hadn't even thought of.

Lan Qingyou wouldn't extend her hand to a guy covered in blood who also wanted to attack her.

That would only dirty her hands.

Moreover, someone who attacked her had to die, regardless of the reason.

Thus, with a flick of her hand, a pink infantry Golem appeared in front of her.

She saw the pink infantry, under Lan Qingyou's control, reach out and grab the other party's collar, instantly snap the other party's neck with the other hand, and then casually throw him back into the bushes in the direction he came from.

Subsequently, the pink infantry was very smoothly put away into the card by Lan Qingyou.

Turning around, Lan Qingyou flew toward the inside of the village.

This was an extremely simple matter; to Lan Qingyou, it wasn't even worth mentioning.

Previously, she was going to find a living person to ask what exactly happened here, but as a result, this kind of situation occurred. To be honest, Lan Qingyou was already no longer interested in what happened here.

Right now, compared to what happened here, it was indeed better to take advantage of the early hour to go pitch camp by the river.

It just so happened that it was almost noon. Catching two wild river fish and having Gu Xiaobei make a grilled fish for herself seemed like a very nice idea.

As for the reward, she could just pay with the extra wild fish.

Anyway, whether it was for Lan Qingyou or Gu Xiaobei, they never talked about money.

Because doing it this way actually made it easier to communicate.

Once they talked about money, it wouldn't be a matter of hurting feelings, but a question of whether Gu Xiaobei could pay it back.

However, just as Lan Qingyou had started to have reveries about the delicious grilled fish for noon, a figure suddenly charged out from the bushes from before.

She saw this person holding a sharp weapon, jumping up and brandishing the weapon at Lan Qingyou, preparing to attack.

That momentum clearly showed they wanted to deal her a one-hit kill.

Because the height the other party jumped to was even higher than the height where she had stopped, even if Lan Qingyou looked up, she couldn't see this person's appearance clearly.

But there was one point Lan Qingyou was very certain of.

That was, this person definitely had a relationship with her...
