An Zhiyao lowered her eyes and stared at Xi Yuelan who slowly opened her eyes. Xi Yuelan seemed to have had a long dream and suddenly woke up from the dream. She raised her eyes to look at An Zhi who had turned from blurry to clear.

Yao, at that moment, she felt like she was seeing Xiao Jing. It was as if the man in front of her had some similarities with the Xiao Jing she was once familiar with.

But after seeing the cold mask clearly, Xi Yuelan quickly realized that she was now in An Zhiyao's arms. This man wrapped her in his coat and protected her all the way to a safe place.

"Are you awake?" An Zhiyao's cold tone was out of contrast with his concerned behavior. He was like an emotionless robot, asking about Xi Yuelan's situation in an indifferent tone.

"Well, where are we now? Are we still in Beast Town?" Xi Yuelan didn't know where they were now, and this place no longer looked like Beast Town.

"We have left Beast Town. This is an oasis in the desert. We will soon enter the next metal town." An Zhiyao looked into the distance. There seemed to be a metal tower hidden in the smoke in the distance.

Castle. That is where they will arrive.

"Did you save me?" Xi Yuelan couldn't help but ask, because she knew that she suddenly collapsed, and her consciousness was erratic, but she could feel that someone had been beside her to take care of her during this time. This person was An Zhiyao

.

"If you die, six years of my hard work will be in vain. Wouldn't it be a pity?" An Zhiyao did not admit that his concern for Xi Yuelan came from instinct, but cited six years of special training as the reason.

"It's really hard for you to protect me all the way. Nothing will happen to me, and I won't let your six years of hard work go to waste." Xi Yuelan, who had been a little touched in her heart and wanted to thank him, suddenly lost her favor. She learned from him

He sat up in his arms, jumped off the lion's back wrapped in his coat, and walked towards the others who were drinking water.

An Zhiyao looked at her back, lowered his eyes, but suddenly raised his lips and chuckled.

At this moment, in the clear spring in the oasis, a water monster jumped out of the water, bit one of the people on the neck, and dragged the person into the water. All the people who were drinking water showed frightened expressions.

Hu hurriedly hugged his son and backed away. Xi Yuelan, who had just walked over, also took a few steps back cautiously. Mio Qi quickly drew out her long sword and prepared for a fight.

"Everyone, don't get close there!" Xi Yuelan also returned to the fighting state, and the smile on An Zhiyao's face suddenly disappeared and became serious immediately. He jumped off the lion's back, walked quickly to Xi Yuelan's side, and met

She fought side by side.

"I just don't think it's that simple." An Zhiyao said, and asked everyone to leave the water. "Everyone, get out of the way. There is a water monster in the water!"

The people who broke through the barrier hurriedly dispersed in all directions, but their dispersal could not prevent the tragedy from happening. Some tiny bugs emerged from the grass of this oasis. These bugs penetrated into people's bodies and swallowed up their internal organs.

, and then turned the people into vegetation like the oasis, and was sucked into the ground.

Mio Qi quickly unfolded her shield and pressed it down on the ground, calling for others to come up quickly to avoid being swallowed by these bugs.

"Everyone, come to the shield quickly!"

Everyone ran towards Mio Qi's unfolded shield, stepped on it and gathered in groups. Mio Qi used flames to burn the land around the shield to ashes, keeping it burning to prevent the insects from eroding the inside of the shield. Insects could not

He got into the shield, so he could only stay outside the shield, isolated by the fire.

"What are these?" The gathered passers-by couldn't help but panic. They didn't know what these bugs were, and they could actually devour people instantly.

"I just said that it won't be so easy to reach the next destination. This oasis looks full of life, but it is actually a trap, luring people who want to pass through the metal wall to come here and die." An Zhiyao said with piercing eyes.

Looking at the bugs that were about to move around, these bugs could not get close because of the fierce fire around them. They were all thinking of ways to attack them. It seemed that they had not tasted the taste of humans for a long time.

"These bugs didn't attack the lion." Ming Yan noticed this. The lion was standing on the oasis and no bugs were approaching. These bugs seemed to only attack humans.

"The clue to entering the next metal town is the lion's mechanical eye, so it is normal that these bugs will not attack the lion. But with more than a dozen of us now, how to leave this oasis is a big problem." Jingzi said this.

speculation, but Yu Hu looked at the water source thoughtfully.

"Yu Hu, what are you thinking about?" Xi Yuelan noticed that Yu Hu was thinking deeply and wanted to hear Yu Hu's opinion.

"I think the key to entering the next town may not be the metal wall, but probably right here." It is not unreasonable for Yu Hu to make this speculation. Just like Beast Town, the design of the town is interlocking.

It is circular, and all levels are related to each other, forming a closely related whole. This oasis seems to be an oasis in the desert, but in fact it is not that simple.

The bugs here can corrode people, and there are also water monsters in the water that eat people, and the metal wall is not far away. This design is not scientific. If they know that there is danger here, they can exit the oasis and take a detour to reach the metal wall, but why are they here?

Want to set up such an area?

There must be a reason.

"Mio Qi, take Jingzi and Xiongshi to the front to see how the metal wall opens." An Zhiyao ordered Mioqi to take Jingzi and Xiongshi to the front to check and confirm Yu Hu's guess.

Mio Qi picked up Jingzi and jumped on the back of the lion. They rode the lion and went to the metal wall to check what was going on. After checking for a long time, they did not find the entrance. Instead, they found some very small water trails on the metal wall.

These trajectories can be seen through the lion's mechanical eyes, like criss-crossing waterfalls flowing down, and like capillaries densely covered outside the metal wall.

Mio Qi stretched out her hand to touch the water, but she couldn't really touch it. The water seemed to be attached to the metal wall, like a shadow, hinting at something to the intruder.

After seeing this, Mio Qi took the lion and Jingzi back to the oasis and informed An Zhiyao and others of the situation. An Zhiyao quickly made a guess. He stared at the pool guarded by the water monster and suspected that this

The pool is the entrance.

"Use the lion's mechanical eyes to scan the pool and see what comes out." An Zhiyao said to Mio Qi.

After receiving the order, Mio Qi immediately scanned the pool through the lion's mechanical eyes, and saw a hologram displayed from above the pool. This pool indeed led directly to a pool in the town.
