In the spacious and dilapidated living room, Ariel sat on the ground in Silence and looked at Adil in front of her with an extremely fearful expression on her face. Her eyes were filled with intense uneasiness.
She had been living in this high-rise building for four to five months.
In the beginning, it was fine. Although this place was at the edge of the danger zone, it was barely safe. It was also close to the villages, so it was easy to enter and search for things.
But in the past two months, she often felt that something was staring at her. One night, she faintly saw a woman's face with half of her face rotting, staring at her with a vicious gaze.
All of this reached its peak recently. There were even a few times when she could feel that the woman stood by her bed and stared at her in Silence for the whole night.
All of this made her deeply afraid, so when she heard Adil's words, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Standing by the old wooden table and feeling Ariel's gaze, Adil didn't turn around and just said: "You can rest assured for now. At least for a month, that thing won't appear again."
He didn't lie to her.
The things left in this building weren't too strong. Even if it was just to harm an ordinary person, the other party needed to stay in this building for a long time to be infected with the atmosphere here.
The reason why the scene last night happened was that Ariel had stayed in this building for too long. She had already met the basic conditions to trigger it, which was why that scene happened.
If it weren't for Adil, Ariel would have been found by the strange things here last night without any accidents.
After last night, the strange force field had been affected by Adil. It probably wouldn't recover in a month or two, so it was unlikely that it would appear again.
Of course, if the girl in front of him didn't leave during this period, she would definitely die in the end.
"A month?"
Hearing Adil's words, Ariel suddenly shivered.
She looked at Adil blankly and opened her mouth slightly, obviously wanting to say something.
However, Adil didn't give her a chance.
He didn't look at the girl in front of him. Instead, he silently opened the front door of the living room and exerted some force with his hand.
With a creak, he opened the door in front of him.
Adil's face was calm. With a sword at his waist, he walked out. Obviously, he was going to leave.
As he walked out of the door, he could feel the cool air blowing in.
Standing on the spot, Adil turned his head slightly and looked at the ground a few meters away from the gate.
Over there, a few strands of coarse white hair had appeared out of nowhere. There was a unique stench coming from them, and no one knew what had left them behind.
This was left behind by the creature from last night. It walked right past the gate and left behind a trace.
Through the A.I. Chip's monitoring, Adil looked at the faint traces in the surroundings. His expression was calm as he silently walked into the distance.
Behind him, Ariel stood up in Silence as she watched Adil leave. She stared blankly at Adil's back with a face full of blood clots. No one knew what she was thinking.
Time slowly passed.
After a while, her gaze became resolute and she quickly ran to her room. After taking out a small bag from under her bed, she quickly rushed out and ran behind Adil.
Sensing the panting figure behind him, Adil tilted his head slightly. He only glanced at her and didn't pay her much attention.
After a few hours, under Ariel's puzzled gaze, Adil once again walked to a familiar place.
This was the village from before. Nothing seemed to have changed, and it looked old and run-down, giving off a strange aura.
After arriving here, Adil took out a map from the bag he carried with him.
The yellowish map looked very old and run-down. There was a detailed topography of the area on it, as well as two distinct circles.
A few years ago, when Adil had first come to this world, he had saved a noble called Aral and obtained this map from him.
There were two distinct circles on the map. One of them was this village, and the other was where Aral had been.
Now that he had come to this world again, this map could be put to good use.
Looking at this map in Silence, Adil fell into deep thought, thinking about his next destination.
His main goal was to obtain the resources of this world, especially the crystal cores that were born in these strange places. He wanted to quickly reach the standard of becoming an official Sorcerer.
To achieve this goal, the biggest difficulty for Adil was to find those strange places.
After all, for an outsider like him, he was completely ignorant of the situation in this world. Finding those strange places by himself would not be efficient.
Thinking about this, Adil looked at the dangerous areas marked with red lines on the map and the directions marked on it. He quickly made a decision.
"Let's go in the direction marked on the map. If possible, it would be best to explore those dangerous areas."
After making up his mind, Adil kept the map and walked towards a small path at the side.
Beside him, Ariel, who was wearing a dirty gray robe and carrying a big bag in her hand, followed Adil's footsteps consciously.
After walking for a long distance, Adil only stopped at a place when it was close to night. He was ready to have a good rest.
They found a cave. In the cold and gloomy cave, Ariel skillfully set up a match and used flint to light a fire.
"Lord, do you want to eat some?"
After lighting the fire, Ariel heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she took out a few pieces of white plant roots from the bag at the side. It seemed that they had been washed very clean.
Silence looked at Ariel who was at the side. Looking at the things that she passed to him, Adil's expression was calm as he casually received them.
[Analysis complete, no poison …] In his mind, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded.
Listening to the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil looked at Ariel who was at the side and took a bite.
The dry taste came from his mouth, bringing with it a thin sweetness that lingered for a long time.
At night, Ariel curled up in a corner at the side. She used all her strength to wrap the gray robe tightly around her body and forced herself to sleep.
The cave was originally very cold and gloomy. Because she was in a hurry to chase after Adil, she did not bring much with her. Now, she could only wrap the clothes on her body and sleep on the ground while enduring the cold.
Outside, noises could be heard continuously. In this environment, it was a little stifling.
Listening to the noises outside, Adil stood up in Silence and walked out.
Just as he walked out of the cave, a figure that was more than 3 meters tall appeared in front of him.
It was a three-legged monster with a malevolent wolf's head covered in gray fur. At this moment, it was slowly crawling towards the cave. It seemed that it had sensed the presence of a living person inside.
After seeing Adil, it let out a loud roar and charged towards Adil at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a black shadow under the moonlight.
However, just as it was about to reach Adil, it suddenly flew backward. There was a dent in its chest, and there were spots of blood on it.
In the next moment, a silver light flashed.
Adil stepped on the monster's chest, and blood slowly dripped from the black longsword in his right hand.
Under him, the monster's life force had completely disappeared. He had killed it with a single strike.
At this moment, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind again. [Unknown energy detected. Host's attributes are beginning to increase.]
Hearing the mechanical prompt in his mind and looking at the increase in his attributes, Adil's eyes were filled with joy, "It really works."
Through the A.I. Chip's detection, he could clearly see the increase in his attributes. Other than the increase in his attributes, even his spiritual force had a slight increase.
This made him heave a sigh of relief.
Originally, Adil had been worried that this unknown energy would only strengthen his body and would not affect his spiritual force. Now that he had obtained the results, he could relax a little.
"Since the energy obtained from killing these monsters can increase my spiritual force, the crystal core should be able to do the same."
Standing on the spot and looking at the scene in the distance, Adil thought to himself.
Although Adil did not know what the unique energy in this world was, he could use the A.I. Chip to record the exact nature of this energy.
Through the A.I. Chip's detection, Adil understood that the energy obtained from killing strange creatures and the crystal core obtained from killing them were actually the same. The only difference was the amount of energy.
Hence, since the energy obtained from killing strange creatures could increase spiritual force, the energy contained in the crystal core would naturally be able to do so as well.
To Adil, this was undoubtedly good news.
Gently putting away the longsword in his hand, Adil turned around to look at his surroundings.
With the good eyesight of a half-elf, he could see very clearly even at night under the dim moonlight.
In the wilderness outside the cave, as night fell, some creatures began to become active, constantly moving around and making all sorts of sounds.
However, even so, there were not many mutated creatures. There were even fewer of them that could compare to the one under Adil's feet. There were not as terrifying as he had imagined.
Looking at this scene in Silence, Adil's expression was calm, "It seems that even in this world, there are not many mutated creatures with strength comparable to Knights."
