"In this situation, is it necessary to send a team to explore?"
When people were moving tents and other supplies from the carriages to set up camp, Jenkins asked Captain Ursia beside him. In addition to transporting Loen's team to the front line, this train also transported some necessary supplies to the front line, so even if they were trapped in the ice and snow, these two hundred people did not have to worry about food and survival issues.
"No matter what happens, we are moving forward. We are the elite of Loen. If we don't solve the problem by ourselves, I'm afraid the battle on the front line will be delayed when the support troops from the south arrive."
When the middle-aged man said this, Jenkins suddenly realized, but at the same time he was very worried. When he looked in the direction of the railroad tracks, what he saw was extremely mottled aura, as if someone had spilled all the paint in the palette onto the canvas.
He couldn't tell what it was, but it sure wasn't a good thing. Jenkins planned to join the exploration team, but anyway, it was not his turn to do this kind of thing.
He could only watch the bestowers from [Church of Everything and Nature] command elemental summons to set up tents, while thinking about how to deal with the Snowman Legion in the north.
To be honest, if he has even a drop of divinity in his hand, no matter how big the legion is, as long as the characteristic of fear of fire is still there, he can rely on the means of fire from the sublimation gift of divinity to deal with them with the rain of fire from the sky.
But now in this wilderness, even travelers can't see it, let alone divinity. Jenkins is really worried about the war in the north.
The team that continued along the railroad track did not return to the camp until noon, when everyone in the camp had already started living and cooking. A group of twelve people all returned safely, but did not bring effective information.
They walked along the railway track for a long time without seeing anything strange, and for the sake of safety, before the exploration team left, they had already agreed with the large team to return before noon, so they could only return empty-handed.
Not entirely empty-handed, either. They brought back at least one snow rabbit that happened to hit a tree stump and was killed.
There was no obvious trauma on the outside of the rabbit, but it had lost its breath. Because the temperature was extremely low, the body showed no signs of decay, and the passing team picked it up without any hassle.
"One rabbit is definitely not enough for so many people."
Jenkins said in his heart, when the lunch started, he found that the golden-roasted rabbit was sprinkled with expensive spices, wrapped in lotus leaves and delivered to him.
He swallowed with the cat:
"this… "
"Everyone knows that you saved the car, and you also did a lot of hard work in treating the injured just now. We don't lack food, and it's not like the rabbit will starve to death if we eat one less bite. Take it. "
The fortune teller of [Church of Fate and Law] wearing a white sacrificial robe showed a gentle smile. Although he looks very young, he is already a seventh-level benefactor, the same level as Nolan's Miss Audrey, and he is also one of the strongest members of this army.
Now that he said so, Jenkins had no choice but to accept it. He held the lotus leaf and sat next to the campfire again. Just as he was about to ask someone for a clean knife to share the rabbit meat with others, he saw his cat stretched out its paw and scratched his leg.
"I know, I know, I will give it to you. Did you want to remind me that there is danger ahead this morning? I didn't expect your perception to be so sensitive, so good~ Oh, where did they get the lotus leaves from?"
He touched the cat's head with one free hand, and the cat tilted its head slightly and "meow~" slightly.
Jenkins was not very sober in the morning. He only thought that the chocolate gave a warning a few seconds earlier, but he didn't know that the cat had noticed the abnormality at least fifteen minutes before the accident.
Taking the table knife handed by the scribe on the side, Jenkins skillfully held the knife with his left hand and cut off a small piece of rabbit meat. After the meat was separated, the rabbit's "wound" was still steaming, and the aroma of the meat mixed with the smell of spices, and everyone around couldn't help but look at it.
"this is yours."
The knife was placed in the lotus leaf, and with one hand holding the lotus leaf, Jenkins leaned slightly and put the meat in the palm of his left hand to the cat at his feet.
Chocolate looked up at Jenkins for a moment, then stretched out his cat's paw and clawed his hand to the other side.
"Um?"
This was a movement Jenkins hadn't expected at all. For a moment, he even wondered if the cat was his own.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
He held the piece of meat between his fingers and handed it to the chocolate. When the little piece of meat was about to touch the cat's lips, the cat raised its paw again to push Jenkins' hand away, and at the same time made a threatening "meow~" sound.
"This rabbit is poisonous!"
Jenkins screamed, without thinking about it, he threw the lotus leaf in his hand into the distance. It was a completely instinctive action, and when he realized what he had done, he was still admiring his quick response.
Even though the sound wasn't too loud, many people heard Jenkins' words and noticed his movements because of the people around.
Although he was skeptical, since he said it was poisonous, it was natural to test it. There are quite a few priests of [Spirit of All Things] and [Mother of the Earth] here. They are all proficient in testing and monitoring poisons, but they cannot test out that there is something wrong with rabbit meat.
Of course, this is also a common thing. There are many ways to evade common drug testing methods and abilities, so the safest testing method is to directly use live animals.
Nearby is the river channel. The silent middle-aged captain of [Church of Death and the Last Day] smashed through the ice layer and used his ability to attract bones, and fished two big fish from the bottom of the water. After feeding them a small amount of rabbit meat, in just a few breaths, the two fish began to freeze from their internal organs, and finally were frozen into ice cubes from the inside out.
"I knew it was impossible for my cat to be a picky eater. There must be something wrong with this thing!"
Jenkins said while holding the well-behaved cat.
It is difficult to judge whether it is the rabbit who is restless and kind or the person who is restless and kind, so the exploration team who just returned and everyone who has come into contact with the rabbit are temporarily monitored.
But the bestowers here are all members of combat troops who have experienced many battles, and they have encountered more complicated situations than this, and no one will question this decision. Not to mention, people later discovered that the ice on the frozen fish had the same extraordinary properties as the ice on the railroad tracks, which affirmed that the "curse" or "toxin" in rabbit meat came from the trigger. The culprit of the frozen railroad tracks.
