Chapter 107
Entering the fountain, Dylan immediately began to work while Kate collected their floating skateboard back into the space. It wouldn’t be able to last long if it had to stay floating.
At the very least, time was technically stopped inside her space.
“Come out, you metal wall!” Jake took out the metal ball from his backpack and used it to form a metal shield around them. He made the metal as thin yet as strong as possible.
It was strange, but he could feel that he could control the inner of these metals, allowing him to modify them in accordance to what he needed.
Bang! Peng! Splash!
These giant mutated bees were stopped.
At the same time, there were some other giant mutated animals roaming around that were attracted by the commotion and rammed against their shield.
Sound of these giant mutated animals ramming could be heard from time to time.
.....
“Little Kitty, it’s your turn.” Kyle patted Kate. The fastest way to deal with these giant mutated animals would be for Kate to do reverse healing. He also found out that Kate seemed to grow faster as a healer when she either used healing or reverse healing.
Thus, he gave this chance to her.
“Meow.”
Kate glanced outside and those white dots were pulled in easily. There was no physical barrier that could block these white dots as Kate absorbed them into her body.
Her ability was very scary.
But Kate knew that as long as she only used these abilities against these giant mutated animals, it would be fine.
Outside their shield, these giant mutated animals were dropping one by one. Their body was rotting at a pace visible to the naked eyes and some even turned into dust instantly. The wind blows and no traces were left.
Jake clicked his tongue when he saw this scene. “No matter how many times I have seen this, I feel that your little cat is scarier than you, Kyle.”
“She’s not scary at all.” Kyle patted Kate softly.
Jake grimaced.
Not scary?
Which part of these massacre towards giant mutated animals in front of him that was not scary at all?
Even if Jake had a hundred times more courage than what he had right now, he knew that he would never ever dare to keep a pet as scary as Little Kitty. If he were to annoy his pet, would his pet end up raising their paw against him and sucked him dry so that he would turn into a corpse instantly?
Just the thought caused Jake to shiver in fear.
“Coward.”
“Hey! Do you think you’re braver than me! Why don’t you try to keep such a scary pet around you instead!” Jake rolled his eyes at Dylan.
Dylan frowned. “Dislike.”
Jake was speechless.
He knew that Dylan didn’t really like to take care of animals, but was it really the appropriate reason to reject his challenge. Well, even if it was normal animal, it was estimated that Dylan wouldn’t even bother to take care of them.
They were not exactly pet keeper type of people.
Though, Jake had to admit that he was truly astounded when he saw Kyle took care of Little Kitty so carefully like that. This made him wonder whether keeping pet could actually change someone so much.
“Meow.”
Kate looked outside and saw there were still a lot of giant mutated animals around. She felt a bit of regret, but her small body had limited appetite and these rank 2 to rank 3 giant mutated animals contained more white dots than those giant mutated animals at rank 1 or 2 that she encountered before.
It seemed that before she reached rank 4, she will have to be patient with ‘eating’ these white dots bit by bit.
“Ok.” Kyle lightly petted Kate and took her into his embrace. At the same time, his other hand waved outside and flames of fire raged on.
Countless giant mutated animals were directly burned to death.
Jake watched the scenery outside speechlessly. “Why don’t you do this from the very beginning?”
“I can’t make such a big move when we’re escaping.” Kyle glanced at Jake. “Besides, this consume quite a lot of my energy.”
“Well, thanks to these giant mutated animals concentrating in one place, we can deal with them all at once.” Jake nodded in satisfaction when he saw these giant mutated animals burned to ash.
The crystals were naturally collected by Kate.
She didn’t need anyone to remind her about this because she will definitely automatically collect them.
One of the biggest advantage of having a rank 4 space awakened was that they would be able to collect the loot faster. However, they definitely couldn’t take the corpses of these giant mutated animals back. With them rotting so badly or burned until they turned into ash, their corpse had no value left.
“Oh right, I didn’t expect to see a fountain here.” Jake then looked around a saw a small hut not far from them. It was literally a hut because it was made out of wood and looked fairly simple.
“There are people who loved to live outside and built their houses a bit far from others.” Kyle glanced at the hut too. “They might have left earlier.”
“Meow.”
With her ability to see these white dots, Kate knew for certain that the hut in front of them was empty. With so many giant mutated animals around, the person who was inside might have long been killed or escaped before these giant mutated animals were too hard to deal with.
Either way, no one will be angry at them for messing this fountain.
“Shall we left now?” Jake asked.
“Recover your strength first. Little Kitty, crystals.”
“Meow~”
The crystals that correspondent with their elements appeared and the three of them were busy absorbing the energy contained inside. It was a much faster way for them to recover the energy they had lost from using their abilities.
It would naturally regenerate on its own, but the rate was too slow. They would have to stay here for a few more hours.
At that time, there would definitely more giant mutated animals appearing.
They didn’t want it.
After they had recovered most of their strength, Jake removed the metal shield. Dylan’s water shield had to be maintained all the time with his energy, but Jake’s metal shield could be fixed in place as long as the structure was correct and had enough foundation.
This might be one of the biggest advantage that Jake had.
He will definitely become a great builder because of his capability of controlling these metals. Though, facing these giant mutated animals, his ability didn’t seem to be that good aside from defending.
This made him sulk a bit.
“How much further do we need to walk until we reach the granary?” Jake asked as he removed the shield.
“Probably around a day’s time. There are several granaries in this area. It’s built for the sake of emergency supplies, so it’s a bit closer to the railroad. However, that railroad is also the nest of some giant mutated animals that were previously quite close to them.”
Jake was speechless.
Whoever designed that train station would definitely cry if he knew that the place he designed was actually used by these giant mutated animals as their nest.
Oh well, tough luck.
“Come on, Little Kitty, take out the floating skateboard again.”
“I thought you’re going to keep them for emergency sake.” Jake was amused.
“It’s faster if we use this. And I don’t exactly know which granary we’re supposed to be heading considering that there are like.... 5 granaries there?” Kyle looked at the map in his hand and shrugged.
Jake was silent.
Well, if the others were to reach the granary they were supposed to head for Kyle’s mission, then it would be difficult for Kyle to finish his mission.
“In that case, let’s go.”
“Meow.”
Thus, they quickly boarded their floating skateboard and left towards the granary
...
Not long after Kyle left, Petra and the others walked out of the forest with battered look. They were quite unlucky because even if they were using motorcycles, they couldn’t beat these giant mutated bees. They had no other choice but to fight bitterly for a long time.
After they had recovered enough, they chose to continue walking.
“There are a lot of corpses here.” One of Petra’s men looked at the pile of rotting corpses and dusts around with frown. Why did it feel as if they had been left here for days?
Lotus looked at the corpses and froze in her place.
These rotting corpses...
No way?
There was a reverse healing awakener nearby?
She had never heard of any reverse healing awakener who appeared from City B. After all, each and every one of them was very famous in her ‘past life’ that it would be hard for her not to know.
