After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 49 The Spirit Spring Water Fails

Sang Tian slept very restlessly, having frequent dreams, constantly reminiscing about her past life when the zombie outbreak had just occurred, the city was besieged by zombies, and those dark, hopeless days when she was so hungry that she had to drink water to stave off hunger.

In the end, the water source was contaminated by zombies, and no one dared to drink it. Water became a scarce resource, and there was nothing left to eat.

In her dream, she wasn't as lucky as she was in her previous life. In her previous life, she encountered a rescue team while fleeing. Now, she was surrounded by zombies and could clearly feel them tearing at her. Although she didn't experience any physical pain, it was still a form of psychological torment.

Watching them devour her own flesh, revealing white bones beneath the blood and flesh, Sang Tian felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

The dream was so real that Sang Tian even had the illusion that she had really returned to her past life.

"Tian Tian, ​​are you awake?" Li Su's voice came from outside the tent.

Sang Tian opened her eyes and woke up with large beads of sweat on her full forehead. Just thinking about the dream she had just had made her heart palpitate and her ears started ringing.

If Li Su hadn't called her from outside, she guessed she probably wouldn't have woken up.

Sang Tian's reply was somewhat weak, "Yes, I'm awake."

"May I come in?"

"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes."

During the day, the temperature on the high-temperature island rises very quickly; at only six in the morning, the temperature has already reached thirty-eight degrees Celsius.

Sang Tian didn't let Li Su in. She opened the tent and went outside. The sunlight was so bright that it was blinding, so she raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.

Sang Tian came out and saw that Bi Jingyan had already prepared breakfast. The other three were waiting, and Li Su was standing at the entrance of her tent, presumably having waited for quite a while.

"Next time, wake me up as soon as the food is ready."

"It's nothing, did you not sleep well last night?" Li Su noticed that Sang Tian looked listless.

"I'm probably too tired from yesterday. Let's eat first."

While eating, Sang Tian chewed on a slice of bread, lost in thought, still thinking about last night's dream. She felt something was off; this was the first time she had encountered something so strange, as if someone was deliberately torturing her in her dream.

"Li Su, besides you mermaids, what other beastmen have the ability to enter dreams?"

"Yes, some sheep-beastmen possess the ability to peer into dreams, but they enter dreams by astral projection."

Li Su looked at her, her tone concerned, "So you're asking because something strange happened while you were resting last night?"

The other four beastmen all turned their gazes to Sang Tian, ​​awaiting her answer.

"No, it's just that I suddenly had a very strange dream, and I felt like I couldn't wake up from it," Sang Tian denied, worried that Li Su would notice something amiss.

Seeing that Sang Tian was avoiding the topic, the five beastmen exchanged glances, all knowing that Sang Tian was hiding something from them.

Li Su's face was solemn, her chest felt tight, and a bitter feeling spread from the bottom of her heart.

It turns out that he was just like the other four.

Today is the last day. The mission to kill the C-level alien beast was completed on the second day. Now all that's left is to stay in the desert for three days.

Bi Jingyan wondered, "That's strange. Didn't Wu Lanyuan say there were A-level poisonous scorpions? How come we haven't seen any along the way?"

Wu Lanyuan also began to suspect that the rattlesnake might have been trying to trick him.
"I am not sure as well."

After two days, Sang Tian gradually adapted to the high temperature, and her physical strength and heat tolerance improved significantly. However, she was still thinking about her dream from last night and had difficulty concentrating.

Shen Jinxi and Zuo Ya walked behind, busy as bees, without even having time to catch their breath.

Along the way, Shen Jinxi and Zuo Ya's beast husbands were killing alien beasts, while Jin Che and the other four absorbed spiritual energy. From last night until now, their spiritual energy has almost increased from C level to B level.

Time passed second by second, and Shen Jinxi would summon the system that had been missing for a day and a night every hour.

Finally, she received a response from the system.

[System: Host, I'm back.] "What have you been doing again? Have you found out who did it?"

[System: Found it. It was that brat Bi Jingyan who did it. He didn't even absorb an A-level beast! When I got there, the scorpion was almost absorbed by other beasts! Luckily, I arrived in time and cloned one.]

Shen Jinxi's eyes lit up when she heard this. She knew that this system was very powerful, and might even surpass Stardust.

"Cloning? Won't this be discovered by Stardust?"

[System: No, it's actually hoping you two will compete with each other. Oh, that's not important. What's important is that the scorpion is already waiting for them ahead. They should run into it in about ten minutes.]

Shen Jinxi stared straight ahead, slowed her pace, and deliberately increased the distance between herself and them.

"For the five of them, an A-level enemy can be defeated in a few minutes. Will the sandstorm be able to handle it?"

[System: There's definitely enough time. I infiltrated the Stardust database and found that natural disasters in the Floating Islands occur at fixed times, and today is a sandstorm day.]

When the mechanical voice spoke, its tone carried a subtle air of arrogance and confidence.

"That's good."

The system's return gave Shen Jinxi a great sense of security. She suppressed a surge of excitement in her eyes, and anticipation flashed across her bright face.

"Wait!" Qingzhi called out, sensing danger ahead. "It seems there are more than just A-rank beasts waiting for us ahead."

Perhaps because Sang Tian was nearby, Qing Zhi's premonition of danger became blurred.

He could only make a rough judgment, vaguely knowing that the sense of danger did not come from the strange beast.

Bai Mingchen asked, "What did you see?"

"I can't see the images, I can only feel them," Qingzhi told the truth, no longer hiding the fact that his superpower had failed.

Bi Jingyan looked at Qing Zhi with a sharp gaze, as if he had heard some earth-shattering joke.

"How could you not see the image? Don't spout nonsense about your powers failing at this crucial moment."

The four people in the know remained silent.

"It didn't just stop working now, it stopped working half a month ago." Qingzhi stared at Sang Tian, ​​still not understanding why her superpower had stopped working.

Bi Jingyan realized he wasn't joking and asked again, "Are you serious?"

Wu Lanyuan glanced at the unsurprised looks on the other three's faces, already knowing what was going on, and appeared much calmer than Bi Jingyan.

He turned his head and found that Shen Jinxi had distanced herself from them, and he could barely see their figures.

"Do Shen Jinxi and the others know something?" Wu Lanyuan sensed something was wrong. "We've walked six kilometers so far, and they've kept a distance of about two hundred meters from us the whole time. Now they've suddenly widened the distance so much. Should we slow down and wait for them to see?"

Wu Lanyuan wanted to verify his guess.

In addition, Qingzhi had already foreseen the danger, and rushing forward would only increase the difficulty of this trip.

Sang Tian agreed with Wu Lanyuan's words, "I also think there's a problem. Let them take a look in ten minutes. I'm a little tired, so I can rest for a while."

The six people set up the sunshade; they weren't expecting to find shade, but they could at least rest for a while.

"You've been distracted all morning. What did you dream about last night?" Li Su's blue eyes were filled with worry.

Sang Tian smiled slightly and calmly explained to him, "I just had a nightmare, one that was scarier than any I've had before. I was just frightened."

"If someone alters your dream, the traces will be erased within 24 hours. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

Sang Tian insisted, worried that Li Su would press for answers, so she used the spiritual spring water as a shield.

"No, I just thought the dream was strange, so I asked you that question this morning. None of the three families had a sheep-beast husband, and there couldn't be one in the desert. It was just a nightmare. I was just wondering why my spiritual spring water had stopped working."
