The obvious place where Louise Redman was hiding now was a cave.
Moreover, the cave was much deeper than what Xu Shenxing thought at first, and it would take about five or six minutes to walk from the inside to the outside, and the narrowest place even had to turn sideways to get through.
As long as there is no extraordinary existence on the opposite side, and you don't know how to smoke and so on, it can be regarded as a fairly easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain.
There also seemed to be vents inside the cave. Even if charcoal was lit inside as a source of light and heat, there was no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning or hypoxic shock.
Xu Shenxing walked around the inside of the cave. After seeing the dried meat of unknown animals hanging on the wall and the toast piled in wooden barrels, he also saw the underwear that was clearly not from the same era as the girl's clothes—the latter It was immediately put away by Louise blushing.
"Bread, drinking water, clothing, and fuel are all exchanged with the demons in the forbidden world through the medium of 'ancient fangs'... Although those demons seem to be easy to talk, they only charged some of my magic power."
Louise explained to Xu Shenxing.
Xu Shenxing nodded noncommittally.
It seems that the reason for the changes of those migrant workers is indeed because they traded with girls who don't know the truth. But if this is the case, where did the weapons in their hands come from? The technology tree in this world doesn't look like the type that can produce AK47...
In addition to these relatively normal things, there is a skeleton in the cave.
The skeleton was very short, probably only reaching Xu Shenxing's chest, and he was wearing something more like rags than clothes.
There are two daggers hanging on both sides of its pelvis. The daggers are full of gaps and rust, and they seem to be a bit old.
Seeing Xu Shenxing looking at the skeleton, Louise explained with a bit of pride: "She is called Laura, and she is the first undead creature successfully summoned by our family."
It's not that Xu Shenxing has never seen a skeleton. He has even seen the undead natural disaster many times, where the overwhelming tide of undead creatures is all in his vision, but the skeleton in front of him is obviously the same as the necromancer he has seen before. Cannon fodder is quite different.
The behavior of the other party is not at all like the rigid low-level skeleton like a marionette, no matter what the movement is very natural - when Xu Shenxing saw it just now, it grinned with only jaws and teeth left, making Made a gesture that looked like a smile.
You know, in the fantasy world that Xu Shenxing has traveled through, the movements are so natural, even the skeletons that are not much different from living people except for the absence of internal organs, muscles and skin, are only the skeleton king and above high-level undead creatures Only then can it be done.
"Wait... 'her'?"
"Well, Laura is a girl." Louise nodded: "It is said that it is the skeleton of one of the heroes who once saved the country, but it is too old to be verified. My grandfather seems to think that the bones of 'heroes' are because of this. The corpses of people with heroic souls are more likely to respond to undead spells."
"..."
What is this? Heroic spirit
Xu Shenxing couldn't help frowning.
"However, the tombs of the heroes that have been traced are relatively guarded. They are either royal gardens or mass graves of the army. It is difficult to obtain suitable materials. The grandfather who tried several times to no avail gave up the idea of stealing the heroes' corpses. Behavior, began to return to normal research."
the girl continued.
"It's a good thing you gave up, it's very dangerous." Xu Shenxing muttered to himself.
"Well, I don't think this is right. For heroes, it's better to let them rest in peace..."
The girl nodded hurriedly.
No, what I mean is that if you continue to rob the tomb, the name of this volume may become the Tomb Raider’s Notes—it’s very dangerous from the copyright point of view.
"Actually, I have another skeleton called Cooper... Well, Cooper should be back soon."
The girl glanced at the light spot on the wall coming from the vent, checked the time, and nodded.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a taller figure to enter the cave from the direction of the entrance.
It was a male skeleton. Even without flesh, it was still much taller than Xu Shenxing. It was estimated that the other person was about 1.9 or even 2 meters tall when he was alive.
Unlike the one called Lola, who was quietly sitting in the corner with a skeleton specimen, Cooper held a dogleg knife in his right hand that was stained with blood or Hideyoshi, and a similar knife in his left hand. The small animal carcass of the rabbit, at this time, the unfortunate prey is dripping with blood, combined with Cooper's appearance, it just stands there, giving people a thriller-like atmosphere.
"Good job, Cooper!"
Louise seemed very happy: "Master Cthulhu, do you want to eat roasted rabbits? Or as long as it's flesh and blood, it doesn't matter whether it's raw or cooked?"
"Although it doesn't matter whether it's raw or cooked, but from a personal preference, it's better to be familiar..."
Xu Shenxing replied casually, and then glanced at Cooper again: "Is that also your ancestral skeleton?"
"No, what Cooper said, it's the skeleton I summoned myself..." The girl hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The church seems to have issued a reward for me, and the bounty seems not low. Cooper is a bounty hunter, he I found my trail and wanted to capture me to receive the reward, but was assassinated by Lola. I tried to use his corpse as a material to use undead magic, but I didn't expect it to be successful."
"oh, I see."
"Master Cthulhu's reaction is really cold..." The girl seemed a little angry, maybe she thought Xu Shenxing would express some opinions, but found that the other party didn't even have any interest in it.
"Because human affairs are all good to me."
Xu Shenxing pretended to [beep] solemnly.
After all, Louise is just a stranger to him, and with the desire to rebuild the family, it is likely that he will not leave this world.
If this is the case, there is no need for me to get too familiar with the other party, it is better to leave after finishing what I want to do, and helping her realize her wish.
You must know that human beings basically have an emotional side. Whether it is a person or a thing, once you understand it too deeply, you will naturally have feelings. Instead of having feelings and nostalgia, which are full of reluctance, it is better not to get familiar with each other from the beginning. Better.
"Are all the so-called gods so arrogant..." the girl whispered.
And Xu Shenxing's attention was indeed no longer on Louise.
He turned his head to look at the dark entrance, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"What's wrong?" The girl couldn't help asking when she noticed that Xu Shenxing's expression was different.
"You'd better make preparations." Xu Shenxing narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness: "Your skeleton is being followed."
