Chapter 116 Departure
In the early morning of the next day, Markey and Byrne packed up their equipment and dry food, pulled the ox cart, and arrived at the gate of the manor.
Because the two male yaks were also going on a long trip, they might lack protection, so Xiang En tied them with thick iron plates to protect their bodies from injury and infection.
Niu Niu still has to keep the meat for slaughter, and Xiang En will not go with Ma Ji this time, but there is no way to purify them of the virus.
"Bring more salt mines back so you don't have to make so many trips."
Under the wall, Xiang En gave Markey and Byrne two pieces of bread at the end, and asked them to each have a water bag of dew from the Finger Exposure skill, so as to prevent the real infection on the way.
Washing the wound with finger dew can prolong the attack time of the virus. This is the experimental result obtained by Xiang En after more than a dozen experiments on the mice.
In short, the two cows are a very precious source of meat, and they are also powerful breeding cows. Those cows are already pregnant. After a while, the cows still need to continue to work hard when the cows give birth.
Ma Ji, who was moved in his heart, solemnly promised with thick dark circles under his eyes: "I will definitely live up to the boss' expectations!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Xiang En looked at the sleepy Bourne again.
The other party shuddered, and instantly sobered up, saying: "I am the same!"
Xiang En said: "Very good, but don't worry, the trolls will follow you, and they will give them a tenth of the salt mine, just let them dig."
Not long after, Darusa arrived with a dozen or so trolls to work with, most of them teenage trolls, and only ten adult trolls.
Seeing Xiang En, Darusa greeted him in an unprofessional human lingua franca, "Good morning, Xiang En, we are here."
Grammar is stilted, but that's something that anyone learning a foreign language is bound to encounter, and it takes a long time to get used to the fluency of everyday conversations.
Under the leadership of Awuda, the young trolls entered the manor, preparing to spend a day fishing in the manor.
The remaining nine adult trolls will follow Maggie and Bourne to dig the salt mine, including Darusa as the leader.
In a few months, Darusa's strength has improved a lot. If there is no negative state, he can fight back and forth with Naka, who is blessed with the state of the gods.
By the way, Naka has now broken through to the gold level, her magic power has increased dramatically, and her battery life and explosive power have been greatly improved.
Silver and gold are not in the same level of state, and the combat effectiveness is already incomparable when Kai Tianshen descends to earth.
That is to say, Darusa is already a fighter beyond the gold rank, and a life beyond the gold rank. In the world-recognized combat effectiveness evaluation system, it should be called "extraordinary". Extraordinary is a powerhouse that is difficult to kill in ordinary ways.
Gold level units, with the advantage of numbers and the help of large weapons, may be killed by ordinary people, but not in the extraordinary level.
There is generally no specific classification for realms above the extraordinary. In the textbooks of Del Aier College, the realms above the extraordinary will be named after epics and legends, as well as separate titles.
In this way, the team of digging the salt mine gathered and set off!
Nine trolls, two humans, a powerful team that can single out the lives of thousands of ordinary zombies.
Xiang En was very relieved about their actions. After returning to the ground of the wooden house, he released the migratory birds and checked the situation around the manor again. After finding nothing unusual, he inspected his own territory again.
The territory of Andrea's family belongs to his family, and it is a family, so there is no need to distinguish it so clearly.
After strolling around, Xiang En went back to the basement of the wooden house, and occasionally asked Hogan to run errands, bringing in some treated wooden piles.
Now besides brushing up his skill proficiency, what Xiang En does most often is exercising his body and carving accessories for forbidden vine totems.
Large, larger than the forbidden vine totem in the manor.
The taboo vine totem is a good thing, but it is easy to become a target if it is too big, and it takes nearly two months to make another one if it is broken.
So in order to give myself something to do, and to raise the level of safety, Xiang En plans to make two spare taboo vines.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye and came to noon. When Xiang En was playing with wood until he couldn't extricate himself, Ma Ji and the others had already arrived at the place where the iron ore was dug, a slope with gravel, not far from the manor.
With the mission of Xiang En, Bourne is going to do a simple investigation on the ground that has been dug into the potholes, and check the approximate amount of iron ore reserves nearby.
The trolls took their tools, scattered a little, and dug some ground without exposed iron ore on the nearby ground. After digging tens of centimeters, or more than one meter, they all dug iron ore.
After digging iron ore, the trolls will report, and then walk around the outer circle to see if more iron ore will be dug.
After two hours of digging, they still haven't fully figured out where the iron ore boundary is. They can only judge that there are a lot of iron ore here, and there is no need to worry about being dug out in a short time.
"Huh? Why is your face so pale, Markey?" After recording the distance, Bourne returned to the side of the bullock cart and found Markey leaning palely on the wheel.
Markey came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "No...it's okay."
"Since it's all right, then Ma Ji, go and share food with the trolls, and hurry up and go back after finishing your work."
Bourne didn't care too much, and then urged Mackey to distribute food to the trolls, and he would not come into contact with the trolls unless he had contact with the trolls.
Although we have been together for a long time, Bourne still can't let go of that experience, and there is another important reason...
Alulu always stared at his butt with "ambiguous" eyes, which made his hair stand on end and he gritted his teeth.
But now that he can't attack the troll, Bourne can only endure the humiliation of being seen and annihilated, and try his best to ignore it.
The grief-stricken Bourne could only take a deep breath with his tight body to calm down his damn hatred.
Now...he can't be tough anymore!
It's all the trolls' fault!
After eating the food, the trolls continued on their way.
The distance from the manor to the mountains is not too long, but they have to level the road all the time to pull the ox cart.
After arriving at the foot of the mountains, we still need to open a road to the salt mine, which is also one of the tasks. After the road is repaired, it will be more convenient to fetch salt in the future.
This didn't slow down their speed. There was already a road leading to the foot of the mountain in the forest, and it didn't take much time, but Maggie just wanted to drag it, and didn't want to go back to iron smelting so soon.
At dusk in the afternoon, they slowly brought the ox cart to the foot of the mountains.
Fixing the rope tied with the yak to the tree beside the road, Bourne began to direct the trolls to work.
When the trolls were working, he always liked to yell and curse at the side to satisfy his desire for revenge.
The trolls would not listen to him, they all looked at their leader, and they would follow the instructions after receiving Darusa's instructions.
