After breakfast,
Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying confirmed Ye Feng's physical condition again before embarking on their journey to find the Light of Creation...
....
Since it was back to just three people, Ye Feng switched from the RV to a Humvee. After all, a Humvee was faster and could traverse more terrain...
....
One early morning, before the sun had risen,
"Ah, no! No! Big brother, run..."
Xiao Xiao, lying in bed, suddenly let out a terrified, hoarse scream.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Xiao Xiao's voice, Ye Feng and Qiao Ying's eyes snapped open. They rushed to Xiao Xiao's side, finding her with her eyes closed, sweating profusely, and struggling desperately. Arcane energy flames surged around her... kanδん
"Having a nightmare?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, reaching out to hold Xiao Xiao's hand and gently patting her face. "Xiao Xiao... it's okay, Xiao Xiao..."
Perhaps hearing Ye Feng's voice, Xiao Xiao opened her eyes. Seeing Ye Feng, she smiled sweetly. "Big brother, don't worry, I won't hurt you... A bad woman is trying to hurt you... be careful..."
Just as Ye Feng was listening, utterly bewildered, Xiao Xiao's eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and she fainted...
"This..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng's expression changed. He immediately began to examine Xiao Xiao.
"Too tired... exhaustion... fainted?"
After a thorough examination, Ye Feng frowned. Qiao Ying stepped forward to check and nodded at Ye Feng, clearly reaching the same conclusion.
....
By the time Xiao Xiao woke up again, it was evening.
Although she had slept for a long time, she lacked energy and kept yawning.
"Xiao Xiao, here, have some warm milk first~"
Ye Feng handed Xiao Xiao a cup of freshly warmed milk.
"Oh, okay~"
Xiao Xiao took it and drank it slowly, looking quite fatigued, her face a little pale, as if she had been gravely ill.
"Xiao Xiao, you... were you having a nightmare just now?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Mm!"
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. "I dreamt a bad woman was trying to hurt big brother... and I fought with her... It felt so real... my head hurts so much..."
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao clutched her forehead, her expression pained...
"Don't think about it, don't think about it... it was just a nightmare!"
Ye Feng rubbed Xiao Xiao's forehead and comforted her.
....
Due to Xiao Xiao's sudden nightmare, the three of them stayed put for a few days.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao did not have any more nightmares afterwards and her spirits recovered considerably. Thus, the three of them continued on their journey...
....
The sun rose and set, time flew by,
....
One noon,
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying finished lunch and were resting under a tree.
"Big brother, I've noticed that many people on the survivor channel have been posting about disasters and monster attacks lately..."
"There used to be fewer such posts..."
"And far fewer survivors sharing about food and travel experiences..."
After browsing the survivor channel, Xiao Xiao let out a soft sigh and said.
"Indeed..."
Ye Feng nodded. "This world seems to be becoming more turbulent... Is it related to the awakening of the gods... and the final judgment day?"
"I suspect so!" Qiao Ying chimed in, her expression serious. "Although there's no evidence... it's a feeling... a feeling of impending crisis..."
"Um... Qiao Ying... are you sure it's okay for you to stay by my side like this?"
"I remember you said you were looking for the City of Angels... isn't that very important?"
Ye Feng looked at Qiao Ying, his voice filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"I... Her Majesty the Queen said that as long as we find the other King... the other King can lead us to the City of Angels..."
"If I follow you, I should be able to find the City of Angels..."
Qiao Ying thought for a moment and replied.
"This..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel speechless. He didn't even know where the City of Angels was himself... how could he find it... But seeing Qiao Ying's confident demeanor, he found it hard to say anything...
"King... I... am I annoying you...?"
After a pause, Qiao Ying spoke again, her tone weak. She lowered her head as she spoke.
"I... that's not it!"
Ye Feng was quite annoyed. "I was just speaking casually, I didn't mean to drive you away..."
"Oh, that's good then!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Qiao Ying let out a sigh of relief.
.....
A few days later, one morning,
"What the heck is going on with this spatial warehouse... now there's a waterfall appearing..."
Ye Feng, as usual, checked the spatial warehouse, which was constantly expanding on its own, and couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past period, the expansion speed of the spatial warehouse had increased significantly, with mountains, rivers, and forests appearing. This morning when Ye Feng woke up, he discovered a rather large waterfall, with high clouds beside it...
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng frowned slightly. He noticed a faint, familiar fluctuation in the water of the pool into which the waterfall cascaded.
"Holy cow... could this be ultra-pure water?"
After some thought, Ye Feng was astonished.
Previously, when he and Xiao Xiao were in the forbidden zone for humans and somehow got infected by zombie breath, A Jin from the Sea Restaurant had given him ultra-pure water to expel the zombie breath... so he wouldn't attract zombies...
Therefore, Ye Feng was quite familiar with the unique scent of ultra-pure water... although he hadn't encountered it in a long time, he couldn't quite recall it at first...
"Splash!~"
With a thought, Ye Feng reached into the large pool below the waterfall and took out a bottle of water. After careful inspection, he found that it was indeed ultra-pure water.
"Unbelievable... so much ultra-pure water..."
After confirming, Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Because A Jin from the Sea Restaurant had mentioned that even a small glass bottle of ultra-pure water was very rare, and even the Adventurers' Guild might not have it for auction...
"Ye Feng, is that ultra-pure water in your hand?"
At this moment, Qiao Ying, who had almost finished cooking, walked over.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng nodded, quite surprised. "You know this too?"
"Yes..."
Qiao Ying looked at the ultra-pure water in Ye Feng's hand, a look of recollection on her face. "The City of Angels used to have a lot of this stuff... If you were injured by demonic energy, you had to wash it with ultra-pure water, otherwise, the wound wouldn't heal..."
"I see..."
Ye Feng frowned. His consciousness swept over the massive waterfall in the spatial warehouse, and he seemed to have an idea, yet it felt elusive...
"Big brother, dinner is ready!"
"Okay!"
