The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 126 The Resurrection of Spiritual Energy in the End of the World 22

The higher you go, the more dangerous the road becomes.

Along the way, no one saw any zombies again. Perhaps this place is not suitable for them to survive.

However, the group did encounter many strange beasts and insects.

Today, the smallest of these insects are as big as an adult man’s fist. They crawl or fly, making rustling sounds.

A timid person would probably have been scared to tears.

Even Chao Yao couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling, as she had never liked insects.

Tianguang Mountain is not an isolated peak, but is composed of a group of mountains with numerous canyons.

The group walked for a whole day before climbing over a mountain, and their progress was slow.

Chao Yao and his team were not moving very fast. In addition to dealing with the rugged mountain roads, they also had to collect samples of plants and exotic insects and animals along the way for research in the base's laboratory.

They found a flat area and signaled to everyone to stop.

She looked around and said solemnly, "Let's stop here for now. It's not advisable to move forward at night."

Everyone nodded and began to set up camp and prepare to rest.

Tianguang Mountain is extremely dangerous at night. Not only are there ferocious beasts, but there are also all kinds of strange traps and obstacles.

As the captain, Chaoyao must ensure the safety of every team member.

They lit a bonfire, sat around it and discussed tomorrow's itinerary.

To prevent invasion, Chao Yao set up multiple layers of barriers throughout the garrison.

"I have set up a barrier with white lines as a reminder. Don't step out. No one outside can get in, and theoretically no one inside can get out. But just in case, I still want to remind you."

After walking tiredly for a whole day, everyone was a little tired at this moment.

Chao Yao took out ten large pots and said, "Let's have hot pot tonight. This is really a versatile way. You can put anything in it. You can eat whatever you like."

Shaohua was the first to agree, "Captain, I'll be in charge of the mutton soup pot. In this weather, eating hot mutton will make you feel refreshed."

"Okay, I'll prepare a mushroom soup pot, a tomato pot, and a spicy base. You can arrange according to your own tastes. Ten people will have one pair each. Please make your own arrangements."

"Thank you Captain!"

The group was eating hot pot when the barrier suddenly vibrated.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the entire barrier was densely packed with red eyes, which gave people goose bumps.

"It's a bat!"

Li Fufeng was the first to notice the difference. The bats outside were now at least ten times larger than before the apocalypse.

Zhou Tingshen also added: "This is a white-winged vampire bat. It's really strange. Why would this species of bat appear in our country?"

Chao Yao replied: "The whole world has entered the zombie era, so it is not surprising that animals from other regions run to our place. Such a large number of bats are currently just attached to the barrier. If we don't deal with them, we can only wait until dawn."

Imagination is all well and good, but these white-winged bats don't give them time to think.

Their canine teeth are long and sharp, measuring about five centimeters from a distance.

The upper incisors were well-developed, slightly triangular, and as sharp as knives. They kept trying to pierce the barrier.

Chao Yao's ears started to creep up when he heard that. He took out a powerful flashlight from the space and swept it directly at the bats outside.

This action made the bats even more frantic. They flew away and then flew back, stabbing the barrier even faster and harder.

Shaohua suggested: "Captain, I heard that bats are afraid of fire, why don't we use fire attack?"

"Okay, cultivators with fire spiritual roots, step out!"

There were five cultivators with fire spiritual roots. They released flames at the same time, but it was not enough.

There were countless bats outside, and their fire couldn't even burn down 100 of them.

Chao Yao gave them a chance to try first, and when their spiritual power was exhausted, he snapped his fingers and the flame instantly began to burn on the barrier.

Those bats that didn't have time to run away were all burned to ashes, and spots of light fell down one after another.

Chao Yao waved his hand, and all the light spots gathered together.

"what is this?"

Zhou Tingshen pinched a spot of light and looked at it carefully, and found that this spot of light, apart from looking a bit like crystal, had no other difference.

"I don't know for now, so let's keep it for now."

Chao Yao collected all these light spots and put them in black gauze.

Everything in this world is new and no one has ever understood it, so they still need to study it one by one.

All the bats outside the barrier had flown away, and Chao Yao signaled everyone to continue eating hot pot.

"Everyone, keep eating. Only when you are full and well-fed can you have the strength to deal with emergencies. This incident also reminds us that the unknown creatures we face in the future may not only live in our country, but may also live in other countries and fly over."

Everyone was still frightened, but because of what Chao Yao had just done, everyone felt at ease.

With such a powerful captain, doesn't it mean you have an extra life?

Chao Yao reinforced several layers of the barrier, and after everyone finished eating hot pot, the cultivator with earth spiritual roots even built a house on the spot.

It was cold in winter, and most of the monks had no way to use their bodies to resist the severe cold. The monks with earth spiritual roots built earthen kangs and fire walls, while the monks with fire spiritual roots lit a fire on the spot.

They may not be very good at resisting foreign enemies, but there is absolutely no problem in making fire in daily life.

Constantly honing your spells and abilities in these daily little things in life is also a way to grow.

Everyone should have a thorough understanding of their own abilities and master them proficiently, so that they can use them more flexibly in battle.

The next day, Chao Yao and his group came to a canyon.

Everything else in the canyon was normal except for a huge flower growing in the middle of the stream. The stamens of the flower were golden and kept flashing.

In the center of the pistil stood a green-eyed girl. Her skin was translucent, just like the petals.

Chao Yao and his group felt that there was something strange about the girl and were about to ask her questions.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly launched an attack, and the petals turned into countless sharp blades and attacked them.

Chao Yao and others had no time to dodge, and some of them were cut by the sharp blades.

As for those who were cut, green smoke immediately came out of their arms.

There were wailing sounds and those who were cut were in great pain.

"Why did you two-legged beasts come to my valley?"

Chao Yao took a step forward and said politely, "Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you. We are just a group of people who came here to practice and didn't mean to pass by. Please forgive us for disturbing you."

She did not sense any ill will from the girl in front of her, so she planned to take out a bottle of spiritual spring water to express her apology.

"As long as you leave this place, the injuries on your body will naturally heal."

The girl took Chao Yao's spiritual spring without opening it. She simply waved her hand and sent everyone out of the canyon.

Just as she said, as soon as they left the canyon, everyone's injuries healed immediately.

Chao Yao and his group planned to take a detour. Since this was owned by someone else, they just needed to mark it and not disturb it.

"and many more!"

The girl's voice from before rang out again. Chao Yao turned around and stood there in a daze.
