My Transformed System is Toxic

Chapter 29 Encounter (recommended ticket~)

[The task is completed, congratulations to the host for getting a chance to draw a primary lottery. 】

Shi Lan bumped on the horse for two days before finally hearing the system's notification tone. After thinking about it, Shi Lan didn't use up this lottery chance right away, but saved it up for emergencies.

The Ziwei Seven Star Halberd had already passed the temporary storage period, so Shi Lan had no choice but to wrap the long box with cloth and carried it on her back.

Fortunately, the horses I bought at the inn were considered to be good horses. After carrying an extra three hundred catties on their backs, they only moved a bit slower and could still run.

As the sky was getting darker, Shi Lan looked around, but there was no village in front of him, no shop behind, and all he could see was a wilderness.

After running for a day, the horses under him were already exhausted, panting heavily, and urgently needed to rest.

Shi Lan turned over and got off the horse, and led the horse forward slowly with the long box on her back, looking for where to stay tonight.

Finally, when it was getting dark, Shi Lan found a dilapidated temple by the side of the road.

For some reason, when approaching the temple, the horse suddenly seemed very restless and snorted uncontrollably.

It was with great difficulty that Shi Lan calmed him down, fed some fodder and water, tied up the horses, and then walked into the ruined temple.

There was a thin layer of ash on the ground, and there were several obvious fire remnants. Presumably, many people who passed by had stayed here.

After a fire was lit, Shi Lan stretched her muscles and sat down leaning on a wooden pillar.

Not long after sitting down, there was a dense sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling outside the temple, followed by a noisy conversation.

Gradually, the outside of the temple became quiet, and a series of footsteps approached the temple.

The leader who entered the ruined temple was a middle-aged strong man with five big and three thick, carrying a broad knife with a cloth sheath on his back.

The strong man was slightly taken aback when he saw Shi Lan leaning on the wooden pillar, glanced at the long box next to Shi Lan, nodded, and said hello.

Following behind the middle-aged strong man, a group of strong men in short jackets walked in. Judging from the behavior and aura of these people, they were all warriors.

Among this group of warriors, two young men, a man and a woman, were guarding.

"What kind of broken place is this?" The woman covered her mouth and nose lightly, with a hint of impatience appearing between her brows.

"We are fleeing from disaster, not going out to travel, let's just let it go." The man beside him whispered, and began to direct the group of warriors to clean the dust in the temple.

After roughly cleaning the ruined temple and lighting the fire, these warriors left the ruined temple and began to make a fire outside to cook food. Only the man and woman and the leading middle-aged man remained in the ruined temple. .

Shi Lan has been watching silently, nibbling on the dry food in his hand.

After a while, the martial artist outside the door brought in a large plate of barbecue and a few bags of wine, and then backed out again.

Smelling the smell of barbecue in the air, Shi Lan glanced at the dry food in his hand, thinking of the daily medicinal food in his heart again.

In the past two days, she was busy on the road, and she didn't have a warm meal.

"Little brother, if you don't mind, let's eat some together." The middle-aged man walked up to Shi Lan with a small plate of barbecue and a bag of wine.

Shi Lan hesitated for a moment and shook his head, put away the dry food in his hand and replied, "Thank you, no need."

It's just the first time meeting these people, so it's better to be careful.

The middle-aged man didn't care, he sat down by the fire in front of Shi Lan, and chatted with Shi Lan while eating the barbecue.

After some conversation, Shi Lan learned that this group of people came from Baiyang City, which is more than a thousand miles away from here in the west. .

The purpose of his trip was to protect the two heirs of the wealthy businessman and go to the territory near the Saint Martial Immortal Sect to seek asylum.

"What happened to Baiyang City?"

Shi Lan couldn't help being curious, and asked, every time Song He mentioned Baiyang City, he would vaguely say that something big happened, but he didn't go into details.

After Song He took a sip of his drink, he sighed, his eyes turned red and said, "I don't know where so many monsters came from, and they rushed over from the west, and the places they passed were full of corpses. The city should also be an empty city now."

Seeing that the expression on Song He's face was wrong, Shi Lan didn't ask any more questions, secretly wondering how many monsters would be needed to break through the city all the way, so that so many warriors couldn't stand it.

"You'd better go in another direction. It's better to turn around directly. There will be monsters and beasts swarming forward. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!" Hearing that Shi Lan was traveling and was going to go all the way west, Song He immediately spoke to dissuade him.

Shi Lan nodded, and thanked Song He for the reminder. After the two chatted a few more words, Song He got up and left the ruined temple. After a while, he brought in two thick quilts and a blanket.

After the man and woman settled down, Song He began to call the rest of the guards outside to settle down.

Shi Lan hugged her knees with her hands, leaned against the wooden pillar, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and fell asleep very lightly. There were a large group of strangers beside her, so she didn't dare to sleep too hard.

In the dead of night, Shi Lan was in a daze when she suddenly heard a mournful howl and the neighing of a horse, which woke her up instantly.

"Monster!"

"It's the Ironback Wolf!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

"boom!"

Song He stepped forward, crashed into the temple gate, rushed out of the ruined temple, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Come to me!"

The broad knife on Song He's back has been unsheathed, and the edge of the blade is shining coldly under the moonlight. He did not leave the ruined temple to help the rest of the guards defend against monsters, but guarded the gate of the temple like a door god. His most important task is to Protect the two people in the ruined temple.

The man and woman were awakened by a series of loud movements, and they were huddling together, trembling slightly.

Hearing the howling of wolves and the screams from outside, Shi Lan couldn't help feeling nervous, and clutched the long box beside him.

Shi Feng stood on the roof of the temple, with a little inspiration in the palm of his hand ready to go, he turned a blind eye to the guards who were hurt by the fangs and claws of the iron-backed wolf, and just stared at the entrance of the ruined temple.

"Whoa..."

A sound of loose soil and rocks sounded in the temple, Shi Lan's expression moved, and he moved his sight to the dilapidated stone statue.

Under the faint light of the fire, the broken stone statue looked a little scary.

The sound of soil and stone loosening became louder and louder, and with the sound of a series of falling stones, a huge black shadow jumped out from behind the stone statue, and rushed straight at the huddled man and woman!
Shi Lan's complexion changed, and he subconsciously stepped forward, gushing out with all his strength, and swung the long box in his hand in the air, and with a burst of piercing sound, he slammed into the black shadow fiercely!

The black shadow flew out in an instant, hitting the wall and kicking up a cloud of dust.
