Chapter 37
The orange flames, the detached corpse, the turbid air, all these scenes are deepening the rendering of the doomsday scene in Xiang En's mind.
Under his feet, there was a little Johnny who was screaming strangely.
Andrea returned from the center of the village, carrying a bucket in her hand. Under the firelight, the water in the bucket was slightly cloudy, as if a cup of ink had been poured into clear water.
Standing in front of the wooden house, Andrea splashed hard on the bottom of the barrel!
Crash!
The polluted well water was evaporated by the fire, and the fire weakened a little, but the strong stench made the two of them turn blue and backed away again and again.
"Hey! Forget it, let's wait until the fire burns out." After enduring the stench once, Xiang En gave up on Andrea's continued carrying water.
It's just a wooden house, all the important things have been taken out, and there are more than ten wooden houses in the village, it doesn't matter if one is burned down.
"All right."
Andrea put down the bucket, turned her gaze back to the corpses on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Then...how to deal with these corpses?"
Speaking of corpses, Xiang En's eyes fell on the corpses lying on the ground in disorder, with a slightly unnatural expression.
Someone once said that the butcher's knife was stained with the blood of too many innocent animals, and it would not be soft when cutting people.
Although Xiang En didn't kill these people with his own hands, there was no difference between Andrea's actions and his own. After the tension passed, there was a moment of fear and guilt.
Xiang En also killed a lot of animals. When he first became a chef, he used a sharp kitchen knife to cut the chicken's throat, and his hands trembled.
It is a feeling of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox is taken. In the eyes of people who have never killed animals, it seems very weak, and may even show disdain and sneer. After all, what is killed is only a chicken on the dinner table.
But warm blood has an indescribable impact on ordinary people living in a society ruled by law.
At this moment, facing several corpses that had survived the cold for more than a month and were killed again, Xiang En belatedly felt the trembling that he used to feel when killing chickens.
Turning his head to look at Andrea, Xiang En found that her body and expression were exactly the same as her former self.
Andrea stared at the corpses on the ground, and then at Little Johnny writhing on the ground. When fighting these living corpses, she always regarded them as undead creatures, non-human things!
In addition, the actions of the living corpses are also quite different from ordinary people. She wants to get rid of the danger and gradually ignores the fact that the living corpses were once human.
Now looking at the horrific corpse on the ground, and Little Johnny's hideous expression when he looked at her, she suddenly panicked.
The ferocious look on Little Johnny's face made Andrea seem to have auditory hallucinations in her ears.
'My family gave you food and shelter, why did you kill them! '
'Go to hell! to die! Executioner, I will kill you to avenge my father! '
'You devil! '
Andrea stared blankly at Little Johnny struggling on the ground, the blood on her face faded slowly, her body shook more and more, and finally she couldn't bear the excessive mental activities, and started to back away, wanting to talk to Little Johnny. Keep a distance to avoid the expression on its face that seems to be devouring.
Just as she took a step back, she bumped into Xiang En's chest.
There was a der~, and there were two "ouches" under the firelight.
Xiang En held his chin, and Andrea held the back of his head, one of them went back and the other went forward.
"Woo..." Andrea turned around and looked at Xiang En with resentful eyes, as if to say: Why are you standing behind me?
Xiang En was also very dumbfounded, he just wanted to comfort Andrea in a special way, he thought that the relationship between the two could already be a little more intimate.
There is no such thing as dating in this world, and now the way two people get along is okay to get married in situ. This is a simple age.
Rubbing her chin for a while, Xiang En didn't slow down, and it was an indisputable fact that her physical fitness was not as good as Andrea's.
Facing Andrea's slightly resentful eyes, he could only return a shy smile and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, you won't get used to it the first time."
first?
Not knowing what to think of, Andrea's face suddenly turned red, and she lay on Xiang En's body and rubbed her face, but she still didn't say anything.
After this interruption, both of them were slightly relieved from the stamina of killing humanoid creatures, and these corpses were also thrown into the burning wooden house together by the two of them, and they were buried together with the wooden house.
Only little Johnny survived, with his limbs broken and stuffed into a beer barrel with his mouth tied with a branch.
Little Johnny didn't have the characteristics of an undead creature, and his expression was too rich, causing Xiang En to suspect that it was something like a zombie.
In fact, it's the combination of this kind of visual sense and "doomsday". It's hard not to think of zombies!
Next time you go hunting, find an unpalatable prey and let Little Johnny take a bite...
After an attack, neither Xiang En nor Andrea could fall asleep peacefully, the trap totem lost its proper function, and the two returned to the complex state of one keeping watch and the other sleeping.
This situation needs to continue until Xiang En learns the new control totem magic.
This time, Xiang En plans to spend 7 skill points to learn a new totem magic: forbidden magic vine.
Totem magic is actually just a big category of primitive magic. It uses a special medium to communicate with the spirit of nature, and then uses the spirit of nature to induce the unpurified violent magic power in nature to perform all kinds of incredible magic.
This is a magic technology from trolls. In the history books that Xiang En read, humans used totem magic on a large scale. However, after the emergence of the professional system based on the purification of magic power, totem magic with many restrictions was also gradually abandoned.
Totem magic has not left the stage of history. In the analysis and optimization of human beings, the totem magic of trolls has become the enchantment magic that many human mages know today.
Although today's humans hardly use totem magic anymore, totem magic can be recorded in the history books by anthropologists, and its particularity is emphasized because totem magic is a type of magic with a very high upper limit.
The reason why the trolls have not been wiped out by humans and elves is precisely because they hide an ancestor totem, which has been worshiped by countless trolls, and has transformed from a simple wood into an unexplainable mysterious existence.
According to the history books, no matter whether it is human beings or elves, there is no way to break through the protection of the ancestor totem and clean up the barbaric trolls.
Turn to the last page of the skill book, where the totem skills are no less than the conventional forbidden magic skills.
The "Forbidden Nocturne" totem that Xiang En wants to obtain is very difficult to carve. All the entangled vines need to be carved clearly, and the totem is still hollowed out. The bigger the carving, the better the effect.
He was going to carve a three-meter-high Forbidden Nocturne and put it in their shelter, so that if any unknown creature approached, vines with thorns would grow on the ground to tie up the intruder.
A physical attack must be enough to protect the two of them!
Annoying, I originally wanted to make the second update today, but there are so many things, I don’t like Chinese New Year more and more
