A few days later, on a vast white plain, Xiang En and Andrea were happily walking on their way "eating hot pot and singing".
In front of the sled, five people worked together to pull the sled forward at a constant speed.
After Walter was killed, although the actual difference in force between the two sides was not large, the five Majis were impressed by Xiang En's methods and willingly pulled the sled.
Each of the five people had a trap totem stuck on their backs. Although this thing was useless unless it was stuck in the ground, it was more than enough to scare these guys who didn't understand totem magic.
No longer having to walk in person, Xiang En had enough time to carve the wood.
After having these few coolies, the trap totem reserve was consumed much faster. He needed to replenish some to avoid unexpected needs.
He also asked the Markey Five about the information they knew some time after the end of the world, and the content was not much different from what Walt said before.
But there was a piece of news about the infected Warcraft that made him very concerned.
Markie heard about it when he was on the run. Mutated demon spiders appeared in the forest. A large area of the forest was filled with spider silk and became a restricted area. The spiders were much crazier than before they were infected.
After hearing the news, Xiang En was somewhat glad that he ran out of the forest ahead of time.
Humans will be infected, and weak animals will also be infected. If they are targeted by those infected animals, they may not be able to travel as leisurely as they are now.
Creak!
"No... I can't do it anymore, boss!"
The moving sled suddenly stopped. Ma Ji turned around with a sad face and pointed to Xiang En: "There is no snow ahead, the sled can't move!"
Several of Ma Ji's younger brothers nodded one after another and looked at Xiang En longingly. They had been running for a long time, shouldn't they stop to rest... and have a meal by the way
It's a small thing to work hard, but they are afraid that they will bump into rocks while walking in front of them, which will make the two great masters uncomfortable!
As long as there are people following him, the matter of making bread must not be hidden. After spending a few days together, Xiang En did not deliberately hide it, and revealed his miraculous ability to knead bread with magic power.
This magical skill bloomed with a different color in this terrible situation.
When the five people from Maji saw the bread appear from scratch, they knelt on the ground and worshiped Xiang En as a god...
Okay, it's not that exaggerated, but when they couldn't beat each other, the Maji people treated Xiang En like a master, and all they wanted was those pieces of sweet bread.
Compared with bread, what was the dry food they had hidden on them before
Ah!
The dogs won’t eat it!
Looking at the five people from Ma Ji who showed flattering expressions, Xiang En patted the sawdust on his clothes and stood up. He stepped into the snow and found that there were only fifteen centimeters of snow left under his feet.
Now they are on a plain, which is overgrown with weeds. The farther west, the larger the area of plains and forests becomes.
The province of Fiore is a major grain-producing province, and Andrea's hometown is on the edge of the plain, close to the large forest. It is on the border of the empire. There are many small streams and it is connected to the mountains on the border of the empire.
Looking at the road ahead, their eyes penetrated hundreds of meters. From the dirt road further ahead, they finally saw no longer the same white color, but a dark brown dirt road.
Winter has lasted for another half month since they set out. The temperature seems to have reached the point where the ice and snow are melting. Along the way, the snow cover is gradually decreasing.
The sleigh was almost unusable, and without a carriage, the contents of the sled had to be moved manually.
It's not that it's impossible to do this, but Xiang En still prefers to sit in a car to carve totems.
Andrea also stood up from the sled. She always held the short knife in her hand. She looked at the five Ma Jis with cold and ruthless eyes, but when she looked at Xiang En, she felt aggrieved.
Because of these unrelated people, she couldn't do anything intimate with Xiang En recently.
It is definitely not okay to do something in front of others. This is the last reserve of a down-and-out noble lady!
Although it was relaxing without having to pull the sled, it was still uncomfortable.
The Macchis all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Andrea, the bread, or the woman. Being hungry, they chose the former.
If you want to have a good meal, you have to bow to life. Now it's just the same as when you faced those nobles. This is the living condition of low-level adventurers, and the five Majis are used to it.
The road was rough and the sled was no longer suitable.
Xiang En thought for a moment, then stopped, handed the ax to the five people from Ma Ji, and asked them to chop down two trees.
He wanted to build a wooden cart, and then he would let a few people pull him along.
Xiang En is now very good at carpentry. The little experience he gained from carving totems gave him the confidence to make a pallet truck. The structure of the pallet truck is not complicated. It doesn't have to be too good. It just needs to be able to carry freight people.
After walking for a while, they could reach a small town and maybe get some supplies
After the five Maggis walked toward the distant woods with axes, Andrea finally let go of her vigilance for the past few days.
It was relaxing not having to pull the sled these days, but she couldn't let go, worried that the Maggis would attack them.
Now that she was far away from those people, Andrea immediately relaxed and kept pressing against Xiang En, murmuring and complaining, "It's so annoying to carry them around, why not throw them away..."
Xiang En hugged Andrea, who was leaning against him, and the complaints fell into his ears, and he comforted her softly: "Take it with you for the time being. It will be easier to travel. It's just a little bread. You can also leave some unnecessary work to me." If they encounter uncertain situations, we can also let them explore the way.”
The Maquis are very useful tool people. There are inconveniences and conveniences in carrying them.
"Well, I know..." Andrea just complained a little. Emotionally, it was more important to interact with Xiang En. Rationally, it was more important to have Ma Ji as a tool.
In the confrontation between her heart and reality, she finally bowed to reality rationally.
Now I'm just grumbling, thinking about when I can arrive in town and do something happy with Xiang En.
The two people's friction could not last long, and strange screams from Ma Ji and others could be heard in the distance.
Xiang En and Andrea immediately looked at each other, their eyes widened and their throats rolled involuntarily.
Oh my God! What did they see!
Behind the five people from Ma Ji, there were a few wolves chasing after them, and they were not the kind that were infected to the point where their brains could not function properly.
The shiny fur, the agile movement, and the skinny body all proved to the two of them what a delicious prey it was!
Without saying a word, Andrea drew out her short knife, pointed at the wolves with her other hand excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Alive! Alive!"
Finally saw a living creature!
In the past half month, except for the six Maji people, they had hardly seen any uninfected living creatures moving in the world.
Ma Ji also said that they had never seen any monsters that were still active in winter. They all thought that all the monsters were dead!
Now I just went to cut down a tree, and unexpectedly I met a living monster!
This means that life is not dead yet, there is still hope for the living, and life warms the heart and stomach!
"Boss, help! Help!!!" Ma Ji covered his right arm. The ax used for cutting wood was long gone. After seeing Xiang En and Andrea, he felt the radiance shining in his heart like his reborn parents. It’s like seeing light!
The few younger brothers behind are also scoundrel adventurers. After living in the forest for so long, everyone has some ability to save their lives. Even when faced with monsters that are one level higher than them, they still move around and escape from the wolves many times. The group bites.
After a few people got closer, Xiang En and Andrea discovered that the tails of the wolves were dotted with blue and white guard hairs. Because the color was too similar to the environment, they subconsciously ignored it.
A gray wolf with blue-white hair, it is a kind of magical beast whose level is generally between bronze and silver, Cloud Wolf.
Potato chips are harmful. My stomach feels uncomfortable again. I really want to eat what I like all the time.
