Chapter 23: The Journey
After a night and a morning of trimming, when the sun climbed to the highest treetops, the three of them ate some dried meat at random, and stood in front of the cave in high spirits.
Shaking off the map in his hand, everyone studied the location.
Last night, I ran wildly all night, and I was chased by the group of moonless wolves in a panic, and the vision was not good in the night, they were completely running blindly at the time, but fortunately they didn't encounter other magical beasts on the road. Fortunately, I was able to find the winding swamp on the map, and I followed the direction in my memory, and soon determined the approximate direction.
They are now in the outer circle of Bell Marsh, some distance from the central area. According to the instructions, the level of the demonic beasts here is generally around the third or fourth order, and it is roughly estimated that it should be relatively safe to kill a fourth-order demonic beast with the strength of three people, so they are not counted in the danger area.
Originally, I had planned to leave the Burning Wood Station and continue on to the next town. Judging from yesterday's situation, the enemy may not know the content of the commission, but it is possible to guess their route and lay in ambush on the road early.
The main road cannot be walked, and you can only continue to move forward in the inner circle of the wetland. While it saves a lot of time, the risk skyrockets.
"It's okay, just be careful on the road." Seeing Du Yuhan's concerns, Kevin comforted him intimately.
I wanted to squeeze out a smile as usual, but when I saw the unbearable bear child sitting cross-legged next door out of the corner of his eye, Du Yuhan twitched the corner of his mouth.
The problem is that we have a secondary 2 patient here!
According to Heywood, there is no way for him to return to Rob City, which means that he can only take this uncle on the road in the past few days......
Usually it's okay, but it's okay to fight. But in case he is caught up by the pursuers and meets his blue-faced confidant, who knows if this kid will have a left illness in the second middle school, and his IQ will suddenly run away from home and sell a wave of teammates on the spot? Didn't they die unjustly?!
"What do you mean by that? Want to fight?! Angered by the other party's disgusted eyes, Heywood glared at Du Yuhan.
"In the event of an emergency, we can also directly leave some cumbersome and buy time to get out, which can be regarded as giving full play to his surplus value." Glancing at Heywood, he mildly mentioned.
"You want me to be cannon fodder?!" Heywood was furious.
"It seems that some people are still very self-aware." Kevin smiled with relief.
"You sissy! If you hadn't been there last night, you wouldn't have brought in those wolves! ”
"I wonder whose loud voice the wolves were drawn into?"
"It was some kind of ghost magic you put on last night that attracted their attention!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how could we need to flee in the middle of the night?"
"Maybe you're their target too!"
"A beast is a beast, and it has no brains at all. Someone else's goal is exactly you, what does it have to do with us? ”
"Sissy, you're looking for death! ――”
"Alas......" looked like the level of quarrel among kindergarten children, and Du Yuhan's head hurt even more.
……
In the end, after each receiving a violent slap and a cold eye, the three of them finally set off on their way.
Unconvinced, Heywood wanted to pounce and fight again, but his weapon was lost when he was being hunted down, and his spatial ring only had a spare longbow. After weighing his hand-to-hand combat level, he could only follow behind him with hatred.
Along the way, it was noisy and noisy, and slowly walked along the inner circle of the wetland.
After these few days of coexistence, Du Yuhan can already ignore the unnutritious mouths of the two.
In the past few days, Heywood, with his excellent archery skills and sharp eyes, has helped everyone avoid many crises. Kevin, who didn't like him the most, couldn't help but look at him differently, although he still said a few sarcastic words from time to time.
It's still quite interesting to see that kid said that he can't jump in a hurry......
Although Heywood has such and such shortcomings, there is one thing that Du Yuhan appreciates very much-
He is not a picky eater.
I thought that it would be difficult for him to serve without worrying about food and clothing, but later found that in addition to chirping and complaining crookedly, he ate all the food very face-saving.
Kevin disagreed, "If you don't eat, you can only go hungry, and it's better to starve to death than to starve." ”
Du Yuhan: ......
After dinner, the three of them planned their route for tomorrow and counted their belongings along the way.
Originally, they planned to go to the next town to replenish daily necessities, but they were later pursued by unknown people, and they could not take the main road for safety. This also means that there is no way to resupply it for the time being.
Since Heywood was out to play at that time, and his entourage took care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he didn't have much resources at all; And Du Yuhan and the others brought a lot of gold coins, but they didn't expect that there was no chance to buy supplies along the way, so there were not many things prepared at that time, and the supplies added up by everyone now were only enough for them to use for another five or six days.
And in order to get out that night, I also gave up a tent and a few quilts, although the weather in the wetland was humid and stuffy, but it was still uncomfortable to lie straight on the ground.
These are also trivial things, and the worst thing is that they don't have many healing potions on them.
It seems that the only way to do this is to get out of the wetland and replenish supplies at the next site......
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, Du Yuhan turned sideways and asked Kevin, who was still sorting out his belongings, "Kevin, do you know which herbs can heal injuries?" ”
Kevin nodded, then shook his head, "Well, but we don't have an alchemist here. ”
There is no alchemist zuò healing potion, so you can only rely on the medicinal properties of the herb itself to heal the wound. Not to mention the slow process, the toxicity in the herbs cannot be removed, and it may cause other complications, so not many people will directly use herbs to treat diseases.
Although Kevin was an inscriptionist and had a certain amount of research on ores and herbs, he was unable to extract the medicinal elements in herbs.
"Hey, I have a way." Du Yuhan smiled mysteriously and asked Kevin to take out all the herbs that had healing effects. Under the puzzled gazes of the others, he took Ku out.
The other two looked at the small iron box in a daze.
"Han, what are you doing with this?" Kevin asked, puzzled.
"Look!" Du Yuhan put the blades of grass on the surface of the tin box, and then placed them on the ground to wait.
I saw that the color of the leaves on the iron box was getting lighter and lighter, and the leaf veins and meridians were gradually fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the leaves placed on it had all turned into a pure white model, without any material.
Gently opened the tin box, only to see a few small dots the size of beans floating in the box, yellow-brown plant fibers, emerald green sap, dark green leaf veins and pale yellow toxins.
Under the round eyes of the two, Du Yuhan used an empty glass bottle to pack several different materials separately and sealed them with wooden corks. He shook the bottle proudly, "Look, the extraction is finished." ”
In everyone's impression, the model artist is supposed to make relatively high-level items, and it is generally the work of an alchemist to extract healing drugs. But no one thought that in fact, in terms of extraction, the model master is much more powerful than the alchemist.
Although it can only be roughly extracted and cannot be classified according to its medicinal properties, at least the juice with the greatest medicinal value has been distinguished from impurities and toxins. Although the demand for herbs is very large, the effect is much higher than that of therapeutic potions of the same level, and it is easier to be absorbed by the human body, at least the urgent need is solved.
"What's the use of that? Do you want to lick this material when you want to treat? Heywood was the first to object.
"When I extract the same amount of material, I will give it to the white mold, isn't that a pure pill?" Du Yuhan said angrily.
"Han! You're awesome! Kevin smiled.
"You're still a modeler?" He looked at Du Yuhan with a strange expression.
"Well, sort of." Those who have only done the model once are considered modelers, but now the bracelet is out of power! Du Yuhan comforted himself.
Heywood didn't speak, just looked at Du Yuhan thoughtfully.
However, Heywood mentioned a key point, there is only a material, there is no white mold, this extract is meaningless. But the bracelet has been turned off, and there is no way to open it, and it is impossible to build a few white molds.
Looks like we're looking for something to recharge.
"Kevin, do you know anything that can be ...... Well...... Energizing? Du Yuhan pondered the wording.
"Replenish energy?" Kevin thought for a moment, "Do you mean food?" ”
"No, it's not for people, it's for objects." Du Yuhan explained.
"Replenish the energy of objects?" Kevin frowned in confusion.
"yes, or something that can be telecharged......" he described dryly.
Heywood, who also heard the water, glanced at him disdainfully, "If there really is that kind of thing, then everyone doesn't have to practice hard and can just stand next to him." ”
Du Yuhan was speechless.
Indeed, if you really have energy that can be easily absorbed by the human body or weapons, then you don't need to practice hard or meditate to increase the level.
After being silent for a long time, Kevin nodded, "Yes." ”
"Huh?" The other two looked at him in surprise.
"There's an ore with the kind of function you said, but ......" he said in a slightly uncertain tone.
"But what?"
"That kind of ore will emit a very powerful energy, unless its own level is very high and it can be defended with fighting energy, it is easy to be injured by it, or even die."
After a pause, Kevin continued: "And that kind of ore has special requirements for carriers, and not all objects can be fused with it. If it is a mutually exclusive property, not only can it not be strengthened, but it can even weaken the property of the object itself. ”
Hearing this, Du Yuhan was a little disappointed.
According to Kevin's description, it is unlikely that he will be able to collect it with his current ability. I don't know if the ore hasn't even touched it, and people will burp. I was going to charge the bracelet, but now it seems that there is no hope.
Come to think of it, if this kind of energy is so easy to be collected, then the streets will be full of high-level professionals.
Forget it, Heng Zhi is not in a hurry now, maybe he can dig a little later when his level is raised.
Although there is no way to mine the energy ore, the herbs still have to be extracted. The three of them discussed it and decided that while they were on their way in the future, they should also pay attention to whether there were any herbs with healing effects around them.
