134 Chapter 134 - Cry For Help (2/2)
Putting the matter concerning the Beastfolk camp aside, Cheng Yang continue to advance with the two others.
The purpose of this time wasn't the monsters in the uncleared area, but to hurry on forward. Therefore, unless it was an unavoidable confrontation, Cheng Yang and other would try not to attack the enchanted beasts and think of ways to go around them.
Due to the number of enchanted beasts living in groups becoming higher, sights of scattered enchanted beasts were relatively rare. This was a great convenience for Cheng Yang and the rest. If they were to have done this at the beginning of the apocalypse, they would have needed to kill throughout the entire journey.
Sneaking their way forward and coupled with having an assassination expert like Liu Xiyue by their side, they didn't encounter too much trouble. As for Niu Bing, he was basically a sideline supporter. Unless they met a group of enchanted beasts, he would have no chance to even make a move.
Niu Bing was extremely depressed. He was, after all, also a person from the first batch of people to have transfer but looking at this situation, perhaps his fighting capability was weaker than Liu Xiyue by a block. Even if it was head-on, he couldn't beat the other side. Who let Liu Xiyue's equipment be so abnormal? His attack power was definitely not comparable to her.
Before Niu Bing had heard of Liu Xiyue's powerful talent and now seeing an enchanted beast's leader in the first late-order silently died by her hands, he still felt a cold chill shoot up his back. It's most likely that apart from Cheng Yang, no one could instant-kill enchanted beasts in the first late-order.
Cheng Yang wasn't at all surprised by this. Liu Xiyue's strength was strong, but her attributes was extremely unbalanced. The attack power was high, but the defense, health, mana, and other attributes weren't strengthen at all. All her equipment were entirely tilted towards attack power.
At the moment, the shortcoming of this kind of build has not manifested, but wait until later ranks and when various professions appears branch occupations. At that time, each profession would be able to add a bit of points to their own attributes, and the pros and cons of Liu Xiyue's extreme build would appear more and more clear.
An hour has passed by with the crowd marching seven to eight kilometers into the forest. This kind of speed was fast before the end, but after, it was a bit slower than walking. At the moment, they were merely randomly wandering in the forest, so it was very good to be able to achieve this speed.
The surrounding terrain of Xiangcheng City used to be filled with shallow hills. After the earthquake that started the apocalypse occurred, this area became very strange whether it's plains or endless mountain ridges. Even though these mountain ridges weren't high, many were extremely steep, and cliffs could be seen everywhere. It could be said that after the earthquake, the original landscape has completely vanished. Relying on memory to find Yi Cheng was very difficult.
Fortunately, Cheng Yang has visited Yi Cheng in his previous lifetime. After all, a field station in Yi Cheng surroundings was an affiliated station to Luo Feng Village at the time. Therefore, he basically was able to remember the route.
”Go through the gully in front.” Cheng Yang pointed to the the three to four meter gap sandwiched between two peaks in front of the road.
Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue naturally had no objection. The three people entered the opening and went into the depth.
”Yangzi, don't this landscape looks heavenly? If this place existed before the apocalypse, it might make a nice scenic spot.” said Niu Bing as he tried to find pleasure amidst sufferings.
In a good mood, Cheng Yang replied, ”Talking about scenic spot, that bottomless ravine around Xiangcheng City is absolutely the best scenic spot you can find. If it was before the end, it would be the only one in the world.”
Niu Bing only smiled wryly without argument.
”Help!” A weak voice came from above their head. The group was suddenly startled. How could someone be in this place?
Not to mention Cheng Yang, even Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue knew that those most miserable after the apocalypse appeared were people in rural areas and towns. Because they were too far away from the main city, the possibility of them transferring was negligible. In particular, those in the rural areas, due to the lack of shelter that the city's ruins possessed, it caused them heavy casualties in the first wave of enchanted beasts. By now, in addition to the formation of certain size settlements that might still have people surviving, scattered households could hardly be seen a living person.
However, in this forest was incredibly someone yelling for help. It's no wonder Cheng Yang and the others were surprised. To be able to live from the the start of the apocalypse till now and in such a forest, this was definitely not strength, but could only be interpreted as a kind of luck.
Cheng Yang and the others looked up at the direction of the voice, but all they could see was a huge stone hanging on both side of the cliffs. This stone was about seven to eight meters above ground level.
”Someone….someone help!” The weak voice sounded again.
Niu Bing looked at Cheng Yang and asked, ”Yangzi, what should we do?”
”Save people! Apart from that what else can we do?” Cheng Yang reluctantly said.
