The three of them experienced a frightening night yesterday. They all clearly heard Leer's screams before he died. Now that they had settled down, they could not help but feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox dying in their hearts.
Although they and Rael are not yet considered comrades-in-arms, they have been living together for several months, and in this situation, it is a big surprise to meet a living person!
Xiang En didn't say anything more, he just waved to the three of them and asked them to clean up the ghouls and zombie beasts within 30 meters of the circle, turning a blind eye to Rael's death.
Everyone is already dead, no matter how much you say, it will be of no use.
After clearing away the monsters nearby, they found the truck parked at the back of the house again.
I saw that the cart had completely overturned, and the equipment on it was trampled to pieces by cattle and horses. The stoves and pots that Xiang En brought from the village were flattened, and the wolf meat that had not been eaten all disappeared.
There are still many broken and chewed vines on the ground. These are the masterpieces created by the zombie beasts last night.
The cart was too big to fit into the house, and I was worried that the bloody smell of the wolf meat would become a bait to attract monsters, so I didn't move the wolf meat into the house, but placed it deep within the protection range of the totem.
Now it seems that this decision was correct, but it was a pity that these wolf meats were lost.
Suffering such a blow, Andrea lost her temper even to look at Marky, and silently picked up a metal buckler from the ground that had been stepped on with hoof prints.
"Bring your weapons." Xiang En sighed slightly and asked Ma Ji and the others to pick up their weapons.
Next, they may have to go on foot instead.
There must be carts with exquisite craftsmanship in the town, but after seeing the speed at which those monsters moved last night, he no longer dared to ride on the wooden carts that kept squeaking.
Xiang En collected all the totems that could still be used, bundled them into a ball, and asked Ma Ji to carry some of them on his back.
The two taboo vine totems that had not been activated originally had been damaged by the zombie beasts. The remaining piles of animal skins were originally used to protect against the cold, but now the temperature has risen to 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. These are not needed.
After packing up, Xiang En kneaded out bread and let Ma Ji and the others fill their bellies, which was a comfort.
Even slaves will rebel if they are not given food.
The original plan to rest in the town was naturally cancelled, and they began to search for useful things in nearby houses.
Xiang En and Andrea found a roll of hemp rope and a lot of coarse salt.
Salt was an important resource for survival, so they took a lot of it. Even if they are not used, they can exchange some supplies with survivors in the future, this is what Xiang En thinks.
They also found a lot of farm tools in the house. Xiang En liked the two-part steel fork in one of the houses and took it out together. The long-handled weapon is an essential tool for zombie survival!
Because they were going on foot, they didn't take much, just some salt and sugar, flints, oil lamps, three-handled steel forks, and rucksacks.
After collecting enough needed supplies, Xiang En asked everyone to continue on the road. The route did not go through the town. No one knew the number of ghouls and zombies deep in the town. He did not want to pay the price with his life. Save that little bit of time.
The area of the province of Fiore is more than three times that of the province of De Aire, and the map is an oval. They have to walk from one end to the other, and they may only have walked half of the distance now.
If you want to walk to Andrea's house, it would take half a month without an accident!
The five of them all carried a large package on their backs, with the three of them walking in front, Xiang En and Andrea behind.
The blessing of wind blessed the five people, making them move slightly faster.
As for the choice of path, Xiang En planned to follow the river and bypass the town's orchards, taking a visible path.
To make a detour, you first have to pass through a field. On the field, there are scattered zombie beasts left nearby last night.
Most of these zombie beasts are cows and horses, and there are also many voles and prairie dogs.
The cattle and horses were probably bred by the townspeople, and the number was not large. Perhaps some of them were taken away by the nobles in the big cities.
I saw the speed and power of those zombie beasts last night. They are no less than gold-level warriors and cannot be easily provoked.
Therefore, their route was tortuous, and in order to avoid the zombie beasts, their footsteps inevitably increased.
After thinking about it, Xiang En decided to exchange for a skill that could greatly increase his movement speed. At least this way, he could run away if he encountered danger.
In addition, he also needs new control skills to make up for the fact that the forbidden vines cannot take effect at any time.
After searching in the talent book, Xiang En finally chose the silver intermediate skill: Boiling.
Consumes 8% of magic power, increases the target's own speed by 15%, and reduces physical strength consumption by 20% during exercise, lasting 2 minutes.
This is a skill that can only be released by a single target. Xiang En is very interested in the effect of reducing physical consumption. After all, he has tried to run non-stop twice. The feeling of being suffocated if he moves is really uncomfortable, especially when he.
He believed that this skill could definitely be used, and besides, he could gain proficiency along the way. With the runes, exchange them for several bronze-level skills that increase your survivability.
Use your time on the road to brush up your proficiency and get more skills, it’s worth it!
The exchange for "Boiling" only consumed 6 runes, leaving 1 rune remaining.
With the new skills, their movement speed has been greatly improved. The other people who were blessed by the new skills were only slightly surprised, and then continued to concentrate on their way.
They had seen Xiang En's magical magic many times, and suddenly there was another buffing magic that they could accept.
After a while, they finally stepped on the edge of the limit, dodged the most terrifying cattle and horses, and arrived at the river that divided the town.
The river is not very wide, only six or seven meters. The water is very clear, but the fish in it are very agitated.
When the fish in the river saw them, instead of avoiding them in fear, they flapped their tails and jumped out of the water, flopping towards them and biting them.
However, there is no danger in the water after the fish is out of the water. The attacked Marki slapped the jumping fish away.
"Hey...Boss, these fish are a bit weird!"
After the fish in the river landed, Ma Ji noticed something was wrong and pointed at the fish flapping on the ground.
Several people came close to watch, but were almost bitten by the fish that kept jumping out of the river, and then quickly stayed away.
The steel fork came in handy at this time. Xiang En asked Andrea to spear a fish and bring it not far away for closer inspection.
The mouth of the originally normal river fish now expanded and became like a deep-sea fish with a mouth full of fangs, looking a bit ferocious.
Except for the strange mouth, the rest of it is pretty normal, except that the eyes are a little red.
Because he was not familiar with fish knowledge and could not tell whether these were original species or new mutated species, Xiang En simply threw them aside and did not think about whether he could eat them. Crossing the river was more important.
After Ma Ji and the other three threw their luggage over first, they gathered their strength and jumped over.
Only Xiang En couldn't jump six or seven meters. He was thrown by Andrea...
Bang!
Xiang En got up in disgrace and with a frown on his face, he washed the mud on his hands before the fish in the river reacted.
After crossing the river, everyone continued walking for two kilometers around the orchard. At noon, they finally returned to the original business road...
