Forgotten Skills Aren't Uncommon, Are They?

Zheng Xie was thin and looked somewhat unsteady as he rode on the back of the Rotten Wolf. His body and the Rotten Wolf formed an odd angle, and logically, without reins, he should have fallen backward.

Xu Nan looked closely and realized that Zheng Xie was holding the rotten wolf by both ears.

"This... doesn't seem to be Kangaroo, does it?"

Wang Dongdong swallowed hard, looking at the ferocious face of the rotten wolf, and couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Hmm? When I met him, he was hopping around on his feet, what else could he be but Kangaroo? But you have a point, I just couldn't find his pouch..."

Zheng Xie lowered his head and began searching.

A hint of panic flashed across the Wolf's face, almost in a human-like way. He had no idea what Zheng Xie had done to cause him such fear!

He stood upright with great effort, his deformed forelegs tucked into his chest, and in terms of posture, he really did look like Kangaroo.

Xu Nan couldn't help but cast an Appraisal Technique over.

[Three-Legged Rot Wolf (Rare/Divine Afterglow)]

[Level: 5]

[Status: Panic]

"So it's a rare template monster, and it's quite lucky, having absorbed some divine afterglow from the evil god, its mind has been enlightened."

"No wonder you have such a sharp eye."

Xu Nan understood instantly.

Zheng Xie's body was filled with such thick blood energy that it was impossible to dissipate, which showed that he was indeed a fierce man who had probably killed countless Three-Legged Rot Wolves.

This rotting wolf, probably fearing being killed, had a sudden inspiration and tried to disguise itself as another creature to escape. As a result, Zheng Xie mistook it for Kangaroo and used it as a mount.

I have no idea what this rotten wolf is thinking. Judging from the fawning expression on his face, he's probably secretly on the verge of tears.

Over there, Zheng Xie had already begun to question the identity of the Rotten Wolf:

"Quick, are you Kangaroo or not? Where's your pouch?"

The rotten wolf had tears welling up in its eyes, at a loss for what to do, and could only jump around on the spot a couple of times.

This child has a very strong will to survive.

Xu Nan could only change the subject:

"The communicator seems to be broken. Does Brother Zheng know what's wrong?"

Zheng Xie waved his hand. "It's not broken, it's just that we're locked up and can't receive signals from the outside world."

"You can still receive messages even if you switch to the internal channel."

"There were no unexpected incidents in the Riverbend bend, so some shady characters are probably trying to take advantage of us."

Following his method, Xu Nan and his group switched the internal regulator of the communicator to the internal channel. After some adjustments, they were able to receive a notification from a strong signal source!

The notice included a statement from a formal member of the Thousand Rays Society:

The followers of the evil god Tiamat have suddenly appeared in large numbers in the area near the Riverbend, suggesting a premeditated operation. According to the latest intelligence, a Cultists used a powerful scroll to sever the eastern part of the Riverbend bend from the outside world, creating a temporary barrier that remains unbreakable. The duration of this barrier is unknown, and the Cultists's specific objectives are still unclear. Currently, the Thousand Rays Society members in the Riverbend bend have assembled via communicators.

They established three Safe Zone in the eastern region, hoping that everyone who received the notification would go there in time to reunite, so that everyone could get through this crisis safely, blah blah blah.

"So the practical class was canceled? Everyone's survival is the priority?"

The Salted Fish Three Brothers looked at each other, a hint of unease in their expressions.

The dangers they have faced today far exceed those of the past twenty years. If Xu Nan hadn't appeared in time, they would probably have been used as sacrifices by that fanatical believer long ago.

Now, when they hear that a large number of cult followers are active in the Riverbend bend, their first reaction is to run for their lives.

Of course, this is only natural. Even Xu Nan himself was considering whether to just run away.

"If you walk along this river for about three kilometers and then head south, there is a Safe Zone in the mountains there. There are official members leading the team there, so it should be safe."

"I'm leaving."

Zheng Xie tugged at the rotten wolf's ear, and the wolf, in pain, 《Running》 with tears in its eyes. The most tragic thing was that even with tears streaming down its face, it still had a sunny smile on its face.

Given time, this wolf will surely achieve great things!

Xu Nan sighed inwardly, and seeing Zheng Xie about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zheng, aren't you coming with us?"

Zheng Xie grabbed the rotten wolf's ear, stopped in time, and turned around. "You guys go first, I have things to do: my sister really likes Kangaroo, but this one is too big, I'll go catch some one by one and bring them home!"

He then pulled the rotten wolf's ear, and the wolf immediately began to run wildly across the boundless plain.

The three brothers watched Zheng Xie's departing figure as the sun set, creating a particularly magnificent scene.

For some reason, background music started playing automatically in everyone's ears:

"Let us be companions in this mortal world, living freely and unrestrained..."

"What a tough guy. He turned a rotten wolf into Kangaroo. I wonder what his profession is."

Wang Dongdong was filled with longing.

Xu Nan glanced at the gun in his hand:

"He is a wanderer."

The other two brothers looked at the Dual-Blade Ranger with suspicion. "Why is he different from the wanderers I know?"

Wang Dongdong blushed deeply, filled with grief and indignation.

It was getting late, and now that they had determined the location of the Safe Zone, the group didn't linger and headed straight there.

After all, they are not Zheng Xie, who can continue to squander capital alone in such a dangerous situation.

As usual, Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi rode the magic carpet, enjoying the river breeze and watching the sunset.

The three melee brothers abandoned all their tickets, gritted their teeth, and 《Running》 after them.

The scene remained harmonious.

Around 7 p. m., they finally found the Safe Zone that Zheng Xie had mentioned.

It was actually just a temporary refuge chosen by some members of the Thousand Rays Society.

They set up simple fortifications and traps nearby, and then sent people to guard the entrance; in terms of terrain, it was backed by a mountain, so it was relatively safe; there was an earthen slope as a lookout, so they wouldn't be surrounded without even knowing it.

When Xu Nan and his group arrived, four or five groups of Training Camp members had already gathered there.

They were all from the West City Training Camp. Because of the different pace of the theoretical courses, most of the people from the West City Training Camp had started the practical courses.

When Xu Nan arrived, the encampment area was already full of people from the west of the city.

The temporary head of the Safe Zone was named Yu Simiao, a tall and beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure. She was alluring and captivating, and every move she made was sure to attract men's attention.

Xu Nan once suspected that she had inherited the bloodline of a succubus.

"There's really no other way," the older Elder Sister said in a sweet voice. "You'll just have to make do with camping out in the cave. Theoretically, it's the safest place, but the only problem is that it's a bit... drafty."

When she spoke, her chest was almost touching Xu Nan's face.

A distorted gaze swept over me.

Xu Nan coughed:

"It's alright, just take us there to have a look."

Three minutes later.

On a fairly open area, a group of people stood there. Jiang Yuanchi had to work very hard to hold down her skirt so that it wouldn't be blown out of her clothes by the strong wind!

Everyone's hair was flying wildly in the wind.

"This... is a bit drafty?"

Xu Nan's voice echoed in the wind.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Elder Sister Xu Nan looked completely innocent. "There are only so many people in the encampment area. Why don't you come with me to my tent to study the map? Maybe we can find other locations."

The sound was incredibly enticing, carried by the wind to the area already filled with tents, and everyone's faces showed envy.

Xu Nan was furious!

This woman is clearly trying to use her authority to sexually harass me!

So, if you don't give them the unspoken rules, you'll get nothing in return?

Seeing the expectant looks on the Salted Fish Three Brothers' faces, Xu Nan smiled slightly:

"Let's do it here then."

Elder Sister Yu was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to comprehend how a normal person could possibly camp here? The tent would be blown away by the wind!

Is this younger brother mentally ill?

"Brother... why don't you go and discuss this with this Elder Sister?"

Li Jingran shamelessly said, "If she's willing, I'm willing to sacrifice myself in your place!"

Xu Nan shook his head firmly. "We cannot bow down to evil forces!"

The three of them scratched their heads in frustration.

Yu Simiao left happily.

"Okay then, I'll come back and check again in a bit."

"What a lovely boy... due to lack of thought."

The people at the West City Training Camp also enjoyed the spectacle and gathered around. Their own tents were already pitched, and since things were in disarray, they had nothing else to do.

However, to their astonishment, Xu Nan began to chant in the shackles!

Ten seconds later.

A sturdy, golden house rose from the ground, perched on the open terrain, blocking the wind from entering the cave!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xu Nan and his group strolled leisurely into Leomund's Hut!

Leomund's Hut can last for 24 hours, with a cooldown time of four hours, which is much better than sleeping in a tent.

It was Xu Nan's first time entering the house, and she discovered that it not only had a private bathroom, but also a huge master bedroom and a comfortable soft bed!

The Salted Fish Three Brothers were overjoyed and all gave a thumbs up:

"Big brother is right, we really can't bow down to evil forces!"

Jiang Yuanchi stood there blankly, then suddenly remembered something. "You clearly have a house, so why did you have to squeeze into a sleeping bag with me last time?"

The three brothers' eyes lit up, thinking they had some gossip to hear.

Unfortunately, Xu Nan confidently put his hands on his hips and said:

"Isn't forgetting skills a common occurrence?"

Jiang Yuanchi and nodded:

"That makes sense."

That night, Xu Nan, who was lying happily on the big bed in the house, not only received 2,000 Activity Points from Yu Simiao, but also some random passersby.

[Activity Points +4000, from Feng Sheng]

[Activity Points +4000, from Zhang Qiaoqiao]

[Activity Points +4000, from Ding Mo]

These people seem to be from the West City Training Camp.

"What? You're so narrow-minded. You feel resentful because I live in a house while you live in tents?"

Xu Nan righteously criticized these people in his heart.

However, what he didn't know was that while Leomund's Tiny Hut blocked the air vent, the howling mountain winds changed direction, causing the tent area, which was originally a sheltered spot, to be filled with howling and wailing.

When the trainees at the West City Training Camp were sleeping, they had to press their bodies against the edge of the tent while listening to the pleasant whistling sound.

Looking at it at a 45-degree angle, tears streamed down my face.

...!
