Early the next morning, Xiang En and Andrea left another wooden house and came to the outside of the village with vigilance and anxiety. They saw the entrance of the village, which was as messy as a dance battle had just ended.
The soil in the vegetable field has been turned into a mess, and the still slightly moist mud is full of footprints. These footprints are messy and disorderly, and most of them lead to the nearby forest.
One pair of huge footprints stood out, and Xiang En recognized them at a glance as being left by the village chief's big feet. The footprints led to the forest directly in front of the village.
This is a blessing in misfortune. With the physique of a big village chief, after being transformed into such a weird undead creature, the strength of his own body and his mad character may not be able to kill him even if he uses all his strength.
"The corpses have disappeared in the forest, so are you going to hunt today?" Andrea was also worried about these running corpses. She didn't want to learn the skills of the village chief.
Why…
Xiang En sighed helplessly and said, "Go, it's not a question of whether to go or not, you must go!"
Looking up at the slightly bright sky, the ever-lasting dark clouds above my head bring not only dullness, but also a rapid drop in temperature.
Originally, Xiang En would still feel stuffy when wearing a robe, but now, the cold wind penetrated directly into his collar. He stood still and let his body warm up, and he soon felt the coolness.
They must now seize the time to hunt and prepare dried meat. "Winter" may last for three months. They must find at least 300 kilograms of meat so that this winter will not pass in vain and let Andri Ya maintain high intensity exercise.
Preparations for winter are not just about food; they also require more preparation.
Based on the underground alchemy room discovered by Xiang En, they needed to dig out multiple underground spaces large enough to withstand the severe cold.
This is a big project and it will take less than ten days and a half to complete!
After completion, Xiang En still needs to prepare a large amount of wood to increase the proficiency of the totem skill, and strive to obtain "Forbidden Nocturne" as soon as possible.
Xiang En couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the terrible amount of work.
Why do you have to work so hard if you can make a fortune? If you become ill, you will still see your failed life when you look back.
Actual calculation showed that the two of them only had more than ten days to stock up on food, and they had to dig out enough underground space to store firewood before it snowed.
"I hope it doesn't rain in the next few days..."
The two had to bow to life. Xiang En took Andrea around to the back of the village, where they set off into the forest to prepare for hunting.
With more than a month of hunting experience, the two of them have gone from novices who only know how to fish to entry-level hunters who can identify animal excrement and track it based on their footprints.
On the first day out, Xiang En and Andrea only harvested two crazy rabbits and a few voles.
A field mouse fell into a trap set in advance and was pricked by wooden thorns, but it survived. Xiang En captured it alive and prepared to use it to experiment with what would happen if it was bitten by Little Johnny.
Taking the rabbit and field mouse with them, they returned to the village.
As Xiang En expected, all the beasts in the forest were because the water source was polluted. After drinking the burning water, they went crazy with pain.
The temperaments of all the monsters they encountered in the forest changed drastically. Except for small animals, they also saw large animals, but those animals had red eyes and kept barking anxiously.
Xiang En was not prepared to hunt them until he was sure their meat was edible.
After the water source was contaminated, the two slowly became short of water. Xiang En spent most of his time drinking the water produced by his magic power. Andrea drank most of the clean water stored in the water tank, and A small amount is used to make food.
The dried meat was boiled with very little water, slowly melting and becoming soft. Xiang En and the two ate the food, and then they left the village chief's room holding an oil lamp and went to the backyard of the village chief's wooden house.
The utility room in the backyard was originally used to pile up broken armor and sword fragments, but now, little Johnny is imprisoned in it, and Xiang En is used as a guinea pig experimental base.
The injured vole, which had been hungry all day, was held in Xiang En's hand and screamed angrily.
The weak light of the oil lamp shone into the utility room, and the pale human head on the barrel was gradually reflected in the firelight.
Little Johnny, who was tied up, was still tenacious. After seeing Xiang En, he showed a crazy expression. He bit his head on the wooden stick and tried to stretch forward, trying to bite off a piece of meat from Xiang En's body.
When Andrea looked at little Johnny at the door of the utility room, a look of unbearability flashed on her face, and she turned her head away, not wanting to look at that ferocious face.
She was still not used to killing people, but she no longer felt as depressed and uncomfortable as yesterday, but there was still a little grudge.
Xiang En put the oil lamp on the ground. He felt like a villain for doing such a thing, but there was no other way. In order to survive...
Holding the vole under his arm, Xiang En carefully stepped forward and picked off the saliva-covered stick with his gloved hands.
"Ouch!"
Little Johnny who took off the stick was like a husky who had taken off his dog's leash, barking and making a lot of noise.
The teeth kept opening and closing forcefully. In order to bite Xiang En, it worked really hard!
Click!
Xiang En didn't bite, but bit off one of the vole's hind legs.
"squeak!!!"
Hearing the pitiful scream, Andrea shed crocodile tears from the corners of her eyes, wishing she could put a pot on the fire.
Bah, bah, bah...
Little Johnny ate flesh and blood, which was like rain after a long drought, nourishing his dry vocal cords. After swallowing a small mouthful of vole meat, his screams became louder and louder.
Seeing that little Johnny's voice could no longer be suppressed, Xiang En put ointment on the vole's wound to stop the bleeding, and put a small piece of bread in the cage before placing the small cage in the corner.
In order to confirm why the corpse was resurrected and whether Little Johnny was an undead creature, Xiang En liberated Little Johnny's body from the barrel, slashed multiple vital points on his body, and then put it back into the barrel.
Come back and take a look tomorrow during the day. If Little Johnny has lost too much blood and died, then it is not an undead creature. If it is still alive, then it may be an undead creature.
If the vole becomes as biting as Little Johnny, then it may have been assimilated by Little Johnny. If it's okay, then observe it for a few more days.
Such an experiment is less rigorous, but sufficient.
Early the next morning, Xiang En and Andrea came to the backyard as if facing a formidable enemy. Before they even opened the utility room door, they heard subtle collisions and whimpers inside.
When I opened the door, I saw that little Johnny was still very energetic, but the field mouse in the cage in the corner of the utility room was already dying.
After some inspections, Xiang En found that the results of the experiment had not come out yet. The blood flowing out of Little Johnny was very viscous. Only a few drops fell into the barrel overnight. He needed to continue to observe.
The vole may have been dying because of being pricked by a wooden thorn. The bread placed in the cage had disappeared and must have been eaten.
Since the results haven't been obtained yet, Xiang En continued to wait and went hunting with Andrea.
In a few days, the blood will dry up and the rats will die, and the result will be clear!
On New Year's Eve, before the New Year's Eve, the red envelope I received was gone before I could warm it up, and I paid 400 red envelopes.
I can't help but want to complain about this.
The content is just okay, so don’t read novels all the time during the Chinese New Year.
I wish you all a happy new year, good health and all the best!
