As we all know, no matter how the human brain evolves, there will always be some small problems at some point.

For example: put the broom in a corner when sweeping the floor, and suddenly forget where the broom is after picking up the garbage shovel...

When I was on the phone, I unknowingly stood on the sofa, talking on the phone in a weird posture...

When I was thinking about something, I unknowingly took a strange thing in my hand...

Andrea was in a similar state just now. Looking at Xiang En's finger, the image of Xiang En sucking her finger was inexplicably circulating in her mind, causing her actions to be faster than her thoughts, and she took a bite.

In the end, she simply gave up on herself, closed her eyes and pretended to be an ostrich. After the sweet dew entered her mouth, she completely gave up thinking.

It wasn't until Xiang En opened her mouth to remind her that this made her face the embarrassment of reality again...

With her back to Xiangen, Andrea's ears were flushed red, her body was rigidly rowing the raft, she didn't dare to look behind her at all, but after the raft hit a floating corpse a few times, the redness on her face disappeared.

Xiang En was also speechless all the way, until the afternoon, when the two of them crossed the gentle lake and came to a high stone wall.

The high wall is square and square, completely blocking the overflowing lake water, and also blocking the way out of the forest of monsters.

Looking up at the high wall formed by the condensed earth element, this is almost a complete confirmation of the fact that the archmages of De'er City did it on purpose.

Even if the high earth element wall is more than ten meters above the waterline, it is close to ten meters. The wall is as smooth as a polished marble slab. Such a spectacle must have come from the hand of the archmage.

Andrea stabbed the high wall with a dagger, but the dagger was twisted a little, and she stopped trying after that.

Climbing is not advisable, and in the end they climbed away on the hillside beside the earth element high wall.

In addition to the original road behind the mountain range, there are only a lot of traces left by the beasts and the crowd after fleeing. The two of them followed these traces and started all the way north.

The closest town to the submerged Great Lake is about 60 kilometers away, and they have to walk a long way to see people.

The entire territory of the empire interprets what it means to be vast and sparsely populated, and communication is not convenient.

It has only been two and a half days since Deer City was submerged in water, and those who escaped from the flood water probably just fled to other towns.

On the way, Xiangen and Andrea finally found the stream. After drinking a lot, they forgot the previous embarrassment and continued on the road.

At night, the two lit a bonfire beside the road pressed by the carriage, and they still ate magic bread.

They left Lake De Er in the afternoon until it got dark. Neither of them found any creatures except bugs. There were bloodstains left on the road, but they didn't find the bodies of any creatures.

Everything seemed so quiet, as if the world had forgotten the two of them. After leaving the range of Lake De Er, the two of them felt a strange trance.

He was almost killed by the flood not long ago, but now he has escaped unharmed...

Oh!

It can't be said that Anyang is safe. The wound on Xiang En's lower back that was stabbed by the dead wood is still aching. Andrea's forehead also has a worn blood scab, and the palm of her hand has become rougher than before.

Warrior-type women basically don't have soft hands, and basic chopping practice is enough for them to get calluses on their hands.

Compared with the "wild" female warrior-type professionals, Andrea's skin is relatively paler.

"Andrea, you go to bed first, I'll stay in the middle of the night." Xiang En clapped his hands, shook off the crumbs from the bread, and let the sleepy Andrea rest first.

When she was in a coma before, it was Andrea's night watch, and she was frightened at that time. After leaving the lake, she couldn't hold it anymore.

Andrea didn't try to be brave, she just said, "Call me Leah."

He leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, the weather was calm. Perhaps the beasts that escaped from the Lake De Er area followed the footsteps of humans. Perhaps the sudden change of terrain made the beasts feel uneasy and decided to leave their homeland to find new settlements.

But no matter what, the two of them didn't trigger any unexpected events all night.

Not only this night, but also during the two consecutive days that followed, neither of them encountered any living creatures except insects.

This situation didn't change until the ruins of one of their towns...

"Here... what happened?"

Looking at the town that had been turned into ruins and filled with black smoke in front of her, Andrea was dazed and confused.

The city they planned to arrive at has now turned into a ruined wall. Looking in from the open city gate, they can see that the original wooden houses have been turned into coke, and black-gray smoke is slowly escaping outside.

There were not only huge bloodstains on the ground beside the city gate, but also huge heavy footprints and horseshoe prints.

The scene here reminds Xiang En of the word, burning, killing, looting...

Could it be that they were ransacked by robbers?

With an inexplicable heavy heart, Xiang En and Andrea stepped into the city gate together.

After entering the inside of the city wall, the two of them were immediately dizzy due to the warm smoke mixed with the smell of blood. After getting used to it for a while, they finally got used to it.

In the town, except for the crackling of some under-burned wood, there was no other movement.

Xiang En and Andrea walked side by side on the main road of the town, glanced around, and some details shocked them.

The collapsed wooden houses turned into charcoal in the burning, and the dried blood underfoot outlines the chaos of the day of the tragedy.

They seem to be able to spy on the scene at that time through the blood and some blood-stained footprints.

Squatting down to examine a muddy footprint carefully, Xiang En's brows were almost condensed together, he picked up a little dirt stained with blood and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

"Did you see anything?" After looking around the ruins, Andrea asked thoughtfully to En.

When she came to Deer City, she lived here, and she could vaguely recall the prosperity of the place through the collapsed house.

Her complexion began to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye. Andrea could still recall that the owner of a certain hotel here had a lovely daughter. She once asked herself what the life of an adventurer was like?

At that time, she answered very vividly, the girl's eyes were shining with stars, and she said that she would also be an adventurer in the future.

Now, if she can see that girl again, she might change her answer... But can she really see her again?

Xiang En clapped his hands and stood up, "The smell is very weak, and the flames here have disappeared. It should have happened about five days ago... Let's take a look."

"Um."

Andrea's voice was low.

The two walked through the original streets and alleys, but did not find a single body.

They didn't know where the bodies had gone until they walked to the ruins of a certain room and found clear traces of dragging on the ground.

Watching the trail of blood left on the ground, Xiang En, with a complicated and uneasy mood, dug up the burnt charcoal together with Andrea.

Then, they saw the bones that were glued together, the number of which was indistinguishable.

I had thought that a world without effective laws would be chaotic, but seeing a slaughtered town with my own eyes is something I didn't expect!

After feeling the tragedy in front of her, Xiang En turned around and walked towards Andrea who turned her back and vomited because she couldn't accept the picture.
