Chapter 1361 Root Problem
  The caravan captain looked up at the sky. It was already midnight, and it was still far from dawn.

So he said to everyone in the camp: "Hurry up and get some rest. You will have enough energy to hit the road tomorrow."

Everyone reacted upon hearing this.

Yes, no matter where we go tomorrow, we must take the time to rest now.

If you don't keep up your energy, you won't have the strength to travel tomorrow.

Everyone dispersed to clean up and rest.

The caravan captain quickly came to Xiao Ning's side with several caravan elders.

"Brother Xiao Ning, thanks to you this time, otherwise everyone would have died."

The caravan captain thanked him very respectfully.

Several caravan elders also expressed their sincere gratitude to Xiao Ning one after another with words of thanks.

But having said that, they had always had doubts in their hearts at this moment, and felt that with Xiao Ning's strength, they could take action in advance, so that so many people would not die innocently.

After all, judging from the process of killing the monster just now, the monster had no power to fight back in front of him.

The whole process was a question of whether Xiao Ning wanted to kill the monster, not whether Xiao Ning had the ability to save his life.

In this case, why didn't Xiao Ning take action earlier? Why did he have to wait for so many people to die before doing something?

Of course, everyone just thinks about this idea in their hearts and cannot really say it out loud.

First, everyone does not know the real situation.

What if Xiao Ning has been unable to take action just now and can only do it now?
  Second, even if Xiao Ning was really deliberately waiting for the opportunity, they would not dare to say anything.

After all, Xiao Ning is very powerful and all the initiative is in his hands.

He can save him if he wants to, but if he doesn't want to save him, there's nothing anyone can do.

During this journey, everyone had to rely on him to survive.

On the other side, Xiao Ning said calmly: "It's safe now, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the curtain, and walked into the tent.

The caravan captain and several caravan elders looked at me and me at you, then quickly turned around and walked towards the camp in the middle of a place.

At this time, the camp was still in a mess, blood stains could be seen everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood still lingered in the air.

But now no one has time to worry about this.

All of this will wait until dawn tomorrow.

Anyway, everyone has to pack up after dawn, so we will clean up together then.

The caravan captain and several caravan elders quickly returned to the camp.

None of them were in the mood to sleep because they had not yet decided which way they would go tomorrow.

Should we continue westward and return to the Tianshan Prairie, or should we quickly escape back to the ancient city of Zayi?

If you go west, you may encounter such dangers on the road. If Xiao Ning is still as slow to take action as he was today, I don't know how many people will die.

And if he fled eastward back to the ancient city of Zayi, Xiao Ning might not be able to accompany him.

After all, Xiao Ning went with their caravan because they had to cross no man's land.

"Hey, it's such a difficult thing."

An old man from the caravan sighed.

When they were outside just now, they were still lucky to survive the disaster, but now this feeling has long disappeared.

At this time, there were only worries lingering in their hearts.

How to choose?

"Why don't we get up early and vote to make a decision?"

Another caravan old man suggested.

Whether or not to go in this direction this time will ultimately be decided by everyone's vote.

So it's best to make the final decision this way tomorrow.

This way, even if something goes wrong in the end, no one will have any complaints.

"It can only be the."

The caravan captain nodded slowly and agreed to this decision.

There was no way, he really didn't know how to make a decision, so he could only leave the decision-making power to everyone in the caravan.

Just like this time, everyone wanted to come over and pick up the scattered goods, which finally led to the mess.

If this was his selfish decision, he would now be under tremendous pressure and shoulder huge responsibilities.

"By the way, our escorts didn't all encounter the same thing as us, right?"

Suddenly an old caravan man spoke.

These words instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone turned to look at him.

"It's possible."

Several caravan elders nodded slowly.

I didn't have time to think too much just now, but now after thinking about it carefully, I found that the possibility is really not small.

Perhaps after the escort team went out, they encountered inexplicable deaths.

The members of the escort were torn apart and died, and then the body parts were pieced together to form a monster.

I just don’t know where this monster went.

"Wait!" At this time, an old man from the caravan suddenly exclaimed: "Is it possible that our escort turned into monsters and went to the camp of the Golden Forest Alliance?"

These words once again awakened everyone and gave everyone a new way of thinking.

Yes, it may be that the monsters that his own escort turned into went to the Jinlin Alliance's camp, which ultimately led to the Jinlin Alliance's escorts having to flee all the way here.

"In that case, could it be that the people from the Jinlin Alliance were forced to flee towards us under the influence of the monster?"

As soon as the idea was opened, people immediately made various associations.

One of them speculated that maybe the people from the Jinlin Alliance fled here because they were influenced by monsters.

"It's possible."

"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"It's a pity that the people from the Jinlin Alliance are dead now, and we can't find anyone to verify it."

Everyone spoke one after another and expressed their opinions.

Afterwards, everyone continued to conduct derivation and analysis around this guess.

Finally, after repeated analysis, everyone increasingly felt that this possibility was not small.

"This must be the case. Our escort team turned into monsters for some reason and fought all the way to the Jinlin Alliance camp. Then after a mass killing in the Jinlin Alliance camp, the escort team of the Jinlin Alliance had to go Let’s run in this direction.”

"Ultimately that's what we're seeing now."

The caravan captain concluded.

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man from the caravan suddenly said with a solemn face: "Just now, the guard captain of the Jinlin League died first, and then the guard team of the Jinlin League died, until all their people died. Then someone died here. In that case, is it because the people from the Jinlin Alliance were contaminated with something when they fled?"

Everyone turned to look at the speaker.

This is another reasonable guess.

"Perhaps this kind of monster relies on this method to reproduce."

An old man from the caravan made a surprising statement.

But after everyone thought about it carefully, they found that this possibility was really very high.

Perhaps the monsters they had killed so far and encountered were all made of human corpses.

Thinking about it this way, this is really an extremely terrifying thing.

"Then...if that's the case, will we also die next?"

At this time, another caravan old man said something that made everyone frightened. Yes, if the speculation just now is true, it means that people like myself are also contaminated with that kind of horrible thing.

In other words, people like myself may suddenly die suddenly like the people of the Jinlin Alliance, and then slowly combine into a terrifying monster.

Such a tragic death is unacceptable to anyone.

"That's not really the case, is it?"

Someone said reluctantly.

"I hope that's not the case."

Someone else answered.

But after the two of them finished speaking, the camp suddenly became quiet.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this will most likely be their next fate.

Everyone has to accept it even if they can’t accept it.

"What should we do now? Why don't we go talk to Xiao Ning about this?"

An old man from the caravan suggested.

As soon as he said these words, everyone turned to look at the caravan captain again.

"Well, I must tell him. He knows far more than us."

The caravan captain nodded without hesitation.

According to the current situation, even if Xiao Ning doesn't understand, she still has to tell him about it, because he is the only one who can kill monsters, and he is everyone's only support.

"Then let's go together?"

An old caravan man stood up and said.

Others also stood up one after another, wanting to go find Xiao Ning together.

They really couldn't rest assured about this matter. If they didn't get the answer as soon as possible, they would feel really uneasy.

"Let's go together."

The caravan captain walked quickly towards the tent curtain.

The group of people quickly filed out and arrived outside the camp again.

At this time, less than ten minutes had passed since they entered the camp.

After everyone left the camp, they walked straight to Xiao Ning's camp.

"Brother Xiao Ning, are you still awake? We have something very important to tell you."

The caravan captain whispered at the door of Xiao Ning's camp.

Xiao Ning's voice soon sounded in the camp.

"come in."

Upon hearing this, the caravan captain immediately opened the curtain and led several caravan seniors into it one after another.

Xiao Ning's tent was very spacious, and it was easy for several people to stand inside at the same time.

"What? What's the matter?"

Xiao Ning was still meditating on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like an old monk in meditation.

The caravan captain hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao Ning, we just analyzed the whole thing and came to a very possible guess, so we came over to talk to you."

"tell me the story."

Xiao Ning said with his eyes still closed.

The caravan captain hurriedly spoke and explained in detail the results of his analysis.

After Xiao Ning heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly opened his eyes and glanced back and forth at everyone.

It has to be said that these people really surprised him and thought of things that he had never thought of.

Sure enough, there is more power when there are more people, and the more people there are, the more angles they can look at the problem.

On the other side, when the caravan captain and several caravan elders saw Xiao Ning suddenly opening his eyes, they secretly thought that this matter must have attracted Xiao Ning's attention.

Otherwise, Xiao Ning would not act calm all of a sudden.

"The possibility you mentioned is indeed not small, and it is worth noting."

Xiao Ning said.

He quickly went through it in his mind and found that this possibility was really very high.

Because if everything is really like this, then a lot of things will be explained.

For example, why did the people from the Jinlin League die first, and why did it take a long time after the people from the Jinlin League died before the people from the Alashan League died.

This is because the force originally felt that just relying on the people of the Golden Forest Alliance was enough to piece together a powerful enough monster.

But later, he suddenly discovered the existence of Xiao Ning, so he temporarily decided to kill some more people from the Alashan League to supplement them.

As for why the people from the Jinlin Alliance died first, it was entirely because the people from the Jinlin Alliance had long been contaminated with that mysterious power, and their death was already doomed.

Xiao Ning secretly thought, this is actually interesting.

Next, let’s take a closer look at these people in the Alashan League and see what changes will happen to these people.

Perhaps you can use this to find your own opportunities.

In the past few days, Xiao Ning has actually been thinking about what his chance is, but there has been no response from the Lord, leaving him with no clue at all.

But now the appearance of this mysterious force gave him a vague clue.

This was also the reason why he had been reluctant to take action just now. He just wanted to observe this kind of monster carefully and see what kind of behavioral motivation this monster would have.

As a result, after the monster took shape, it just kept attacking him without paying attention to other people in the camp, so he had to take action to deal with it.

"Brother Xiao Ning, what should we do now? How about we go back to Zayi Ancient City tomorrow?"

When the caravan captain saw that Xiao Ning was silent, he couldn't help but speak.

If just now he was hesitant about which route to take, now he just wanted to return to the ancient city of Zayi.

Because he felt that the only way to be safe was to return to the ancient city of Zayi. If he continued to stay in the no-man's land of the Gobi Desert, he might fall apart and die at any time.

Like him, several caravan elders present were eager to return to the ancient city of Zayi.

They all feel that that mysterious thing, or that mysterious power, can only exert its power in no man's land, and there is nothing they can do if they leave no man's land.

So as long as they return to the ancient city of Zayi, there will no longer be no man's land from now on, and even if they are contaminated with that kind of thing, they will not die inexplicably.

"Don't worry, going back now is not a good option."

Xiao Ning stopped him.

He now wanted to carefully observe the possible changes in these people, and how could he allow them to escape back to the ancient city of Zayi.

Seeing that Xiao Ning disagreed, the captain of the caravan quickly said, "Brother Xiao Ning, why don't you continue going east, and our caravan will turn back to the west first."

It was said well when we came that we were just traveling together, so the caravan captain felt that this proposal was not too much.

After all, their caravan is not Xiao Ning's slaves and they can decide whether to stay or leave on their own.

"You guys should give up the idea of ​​going back as soon as possible."

Xiao Ning said straight to the point: "If you insist on going back, I won't be polite to you."

These words immediately stunned everyone present.

"Brother Xiao Ning, what do you mean by this?"

The caravan captain asked.

Xiao Ning quickly glanced at everyone and said coldly: "You are already stained with dirt. If I let you return to Zayi Ancient City, wouldn't it be harmful to others?"

Hearing this, everyone instantly understood. It turned out that Xiao Ning was afraid that they would infect the things on their bodies, causing more and more people to die and turn into monsters.

"This……"

The caravan captain didn't know what to say, because Xiao Ning's concerns were indeed justified.
