The wind outside is still blowing gently.
Athir put away the sword in his hand, looked at his physical data, and stood there silently.
"Name: Athir Fakus. Strength: 4.9. Agility: 4.8. Constitution: 5."
A series of data appeared before my eyes. Compared with the past, all the current data have experienced explosive growth.
These are the gains from this period of time.
No one knows what has happened in this world. There are a lot of dangerous lives in the wild, and they encounter many of them every day while walking in the dangerous wilderness.
And all these mutated insect beasts were eventually killed by Athir.
Every time he killed a bug beast, Athir would gain some benefits. Although this benefit was not too much, after killing dozens of bug beasts over several days, he had gained a lot.
Of course, the most important thing is the crystal core that Athir had harvested before.
Thinking of this, Athir's left hand, which had been clenched tightly, loosened slightly, revealing a black crystal inside.
After this period of consumption, the power in the crystal core has been continuously decreasing. Now, the crystal core, which was originally the size of a fingernail, is only about the size of a few grains of sand.
"It will be used up soon." Feeling the faint heat coming from his body, Atier sighed in his heart, clenched his left fist and put away the black crystal core so that no one else could see it.
Behind him, there was the sound of footsteps.
The seven or eight people in the back saw that the battle in front was over, and they hurried over. They looked at the corpses of the two insect beasts and cheered, looking quite excited.
Athir was too lazy to pay attention to them. He walked quietly to the side and waited for them to move forward.
"It's a pity for these two insect beasts. If they could be transported to other nobles' territories, they would definitely be very popular. Now they are all being taken advantage of by these wild beasts."
Before leaving, the knight looked at the corpses of the two insect beasts and said with regret, looking very reluctant.
The same went for the others. Looking at the two corpses in front of them, they would at most go up to collect some precious materials, and then leave reluctantly, even Erri and the other two.
This situation was very common in the past few days. At the beginning, they were very excited to pounce on the corpses of the insect beasts and loot them, but in the end they were almost numb.
They walked forward quietly, and in front of them, some people gradually appeared, although it still looked desolate.
··········
"Now that we've reached this point, we have to separate."
At a crossroads, the knight in armor said to the others, "The Earl of Alar in the east is my distant relative. I am going to his castle. Do you want to join me?"
He looked at Erri and the others and said with some anticipation.
Feeling his expectant look, Erri and the others looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.
They knew in their hearts that the other party's expectations were not directed at them, but at Athir.
Along the way, Athir's terrifying fighting power was obvious to all. This young knight killed countless horrible insect beasts that could destroy villages at will, and saved countless lives.
Athir didn't speak the same language and couldn't communicate with others normally. The three of them had been with Athir from the beginning, and they were the only ones who could barely communicate with him along the way, so it seemed natural to others that they could influence him.
But deep down, they didn't want Athir to follow the others.
With the strength shown by Athir, he is destined to be valued no matter where he is. If he can stay here, with the relationship they have now, they will undoubtedly benefit greatly.
As if he had seen through their thoughts, the middle-aged knight on the opposite side cursed in his heart, but his face remained calm and he continued to persuade them: "I can understand your thoughts, but I still advise you to leave this place immediately."
"You may not know it now, but our area is about to enter the outbreak period."
"This is impossible!" In an instant, the faces of Erri and the other two changed drastically. Looking at the faces of the knights opposite them, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.
"Lord Alal, please don't make such jokes and threats casually. Our area has not been affected for a long time." Erri's face turned pale and looked extremely ugly.
"It's precisely because it hasn't erupted for a long time that this sudden eruption isn't surprising at all, right?"
Alarer sneered, "Why else do you think I would leave my territory?"
"This matter has almost spread among the remaining nobles of the Hatshe Kingdom. Most of the nobles in various territories have left this land with their people. Only you civilians are still being kept in the dark."
"If you follow me now, you can still avoid this outbreak. If you continue to stay here, you will have to experience the apocalypse again and see if you are lucky enough to survive this time."
On the opposite side, the faces of the three people turned pale in an instant, as if they thought of some scene, and a trace of palpitations flashed in their eyes.
They were silent for a long time before finally making a decision.
Erri stood up and said to the knight opposite: "Thank you for telling us the news, but we have families here and it is impossible for us to leave directly."
His expression gradually calmed down, and finally he said cautiously: "Why don't you wait for us here for a while, and when we are ready, we can move our family away together?"
"Impossible!" On the other side, Aladi waved his hands and his face began to look ugly: "I have made it very clear, the outbreak period is about to come, and the weirdness may come at any time. I can't die here with you."
After saying this, he was too lazy to continue talking and left with a few followers.
Behind him, looking at the other party's decisive figure leaving, Erri's face showed a hint of hesitation, which then quickly disappeared.
"Could what he said be true? Is the outbreak really coming?" The young man asked Erri beside him doubtfully with a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.
"That was just to scare you." A woman in a worn leather robe said disdainfully, "Except for the incident three years ago, we have never encountered any strange things here. How could it suddenly break out?"
"The other party's target is obviously not us. Even if we move all our family members over there, we may not be able to gain their attention by then, and our life may not be as good as it is now."
"With that powerful knight here, and the good relationship we have now, our future life will be much easier and not as dangerous as before."
She looked at Athir who was standing quietly in the distance and said excitedly.
"But..." The young man hesitated, but in the end he did not say anything to refute.
