Chapter 60 Leaving the Town
The three of Ma Ji experienced a frightening night yesterday. They all clearly heard Leyle's screams before he died. Now that they have settled down, they inevitably feel the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox in their hearts.
Although they and Leier are not yet comrades-in-arms, they have lived together for a few months, and in this situation, it is a big surprise to meet a living person!
Xiang En didn't say much, but waved to the three of them, and asked them to clean up the ghouls and zombie beasts within a 30-meter circle, and ignored Leier's death.
People are already dead, and it's useless to say more.
After cleaning up the nearby monsters, they found the cart parked at the back of the house again.
The cart was completely overturned, the equipment on it was trampled badly by oxen and horses, the stove and pot that Xiang En brought out from the village were all deflated, and all the unfinished wolf meat disappeared.
There are still many broken vines on the ground, these are the masterpieces made by the zombie beasts last night.
The cart was too big to fit into the house, and I was worried that the bloody smell left by the wolf meat would become bait to lure monsters, so I didn't move the wolf meat into the house, but put it deep within the protection range of the totem.
Now it seems that this decision is correct, but it is a pity for these wolf meat.
Suffering such a blow, Andrea didn't even have the mood to show Ma Ji's face, and silently picked up a metal round shield with a hoofprint on it from the ground.
"Take your weapons with you." Xiang En sighed slightly, and asked the three of them to pick up their weapons.
Next, they may have to travel on foot instead.
There must be well-crafted carts in the town, but after seeing how fast those monsters moved last night, he didn't dare to sit on a creaking wooden cart anymore.
Xiang En put away all the totems that could be used, bundled them into a ball, and asked Ma Ji to carry some of them.
The two taboo vine totems that had not been activated before 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 2-3 degrees Celsius. No need for these.
After packing up the things, Xiang En rubbed out the bread and let Ma Ji and the others fill their stomachs, which was considered to be a peace of mind.
Even slaves will rebel if they are not given food.
The original plan to rest in the small 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 is an important resource for survival, so they took a lot of it. Even if they don't need it, they can exchange some supplies when they meet survivors in the future, Xiang En thought so.
They also found a lot of farming tools in the house. Xiang En liked the two-pointed steel fork in one of the houses, and took them out together. Polearms are essential tools for zombies to survive!
Because they were going on foot, they didn't have much to take, some salt and sugar, flints, oil lamps, three-handled steel forks, and rucksacks.
After collecting enough necessary supplies, Xiang En asked everyone to continue on the road. The route did not choose to pass through the town. No one knew how many ghouls and zombie beasts were in the depths of the town. He didn't want to sacrifice 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 D'Aire, and the map is an oval. They want to go from one end to the other, and the current distance is probably only half of it.
If you want to get to Andrea's house, you have to walk for half a month without accidents!
The five of them all carried a big package on their backs, and the three of Ma Ke walked ahead, Xiang En and Andrea trailed behind.
The Blessing of the Wind blessed the five of them, making them move a little faster.
For the choice of the path, Xiang En planned to follow the river to bypass the fruit forest in the town and take the visible path.
The detour first had to go through the field. On the field, there were scattered zombies left nearby last night.
Most of these zombie beasts are cows and horses, and there are many voles and groundhogs.
The cows and horses should all be raised by the townspeople, and the number is not large, perhaps some of them were taken away by the nobles in the big cities.
Last night, I saw the speed and strength of those zombie beasts. They are no less than gold-level fighters, and they cannot be provoked easily.
So their routes were crooked, and in order to avoid zombie beasts, their footsteps would inevitably increase sharply.
After thinking about it, Xiang En decided to exchange for a skill that can greatly increase the speed of movement. At least in this way, he can run away when he encounters danger.
In addition, he also needs new control skills to make up for the defect that the taboo vines cannot take effect at any time.
After searching in the talent book, Xiang En finally chose the silver intermediate skill: boiling.
Consumes 8% mana, increases the target's own speed by 15%, and reduces energy consumption by 20% when exercising, lasting for 2 minutes.
This is a skill that can only be released by a single player. Xiang En is very interested in the effect of reducing physical energy consumption. After all, he has tried to run non-stop twice. he.
He believes that this skill can definitely be used, and this part of the road can always improve proficiency. With the runes, exchange for a few bronze-level skills that increase survivability.
Spend time on the road to improve proficiency, in exchange for more skills, worth it!
Exchanging "Boiling" only consumed 6 runes, leaving 1 rune.
With the new skills, their movement speed has been greatly improved, and the other people who were blessed by the new skills were only slightly surprised, and then continued to concentrate on their journey.
They have seen Xiang En's magical magic many times, and suddenly there is another buff magic, which is acceptable.
After a while, they finally stepped on the edge of the limit, avoided the most terrifying cows and horses, and came to the river dividing the town.
This river is not too wide, only six or seven meters. The water is very clear, but the fish inside are very violent.
When the fish in the river saw them, instead of avoiding them without fear, they patted their tails and jumped out of the water, thumping and biting towards them.
However, after all, the fish is not in danger in the water if it is out of the water. Maji, who was attacked, slapped the jumping fish away with a slap.
"Hey... Boss, these fish are a bit weird!"
After the fish in the river landed on the ground, Markey realized something was wrong, and pointed to the flopping fish on the ground and opened his mouth.
Several people approached to watch, but were almost bitten by fish jumping out of the river, and then hurried away.
The steel fork came in handy at this time, and Xiang En asked Andrea to stick a fish in it, and took it not far away for a closer look.
The mouth of the originally normal river fish expanded at this time, and it became like a deep-sea fish with a mouth full of fangs, which looked a little hideous.
Except for the strange mouth, the rest of the place is quite normal, but the eyes are a little red.
Because he was not familiar with fish knowledge, he couldn't tell whether these were original species or new mutated species, so Xiang En simply threw them aside, not thinking about whether they could be eaten or not, the important thing was to cross the river.
After the three of Ma Ji threw their luggage over first, they charged up and jumped over.
Only Xiang En couldn't jump six or seven meters, he was thrown by Andrea...
Paji!
Climbing up in disgrace, Xiang En, with a wrinkled face, washed off the dirt on his hands before the fish in the river could react.
After crossing the river, everyone continued to walk around the fruit forest for two kilometers. At noon, they finally returned to the original business road...
