Chapter 32: The Journey of Trials (2)
"Shi Leiyin, you get up for me...... Don't ignore me...... I'll kick you if you ignore me!"
What woke up Shi Leiyin in the morning was Erica's screaming, a little far from where Shi Leiyin was asleep. But what he doesn't understand is whether it would be useful for Erica to threaten herself from so far away?
"Ignore me...... You want to run?...... Look at the move, Erica kicks !!"
With a bang, a slime about the same color and size as him flew over on Shi Leiyin's head.
"Wow, Sister Erica, you seem to have gone too far" This is Wren's voice, this kid has a good conscience, and Sleiin has had a good impression of Wren since he got into the carriage.
"Erica, what kind of tantrum did you take a slime early in the morning" Jessica's voice sounded a little lazy, probably due to the fact that she had just woken up.
"Hey, isn't that a thunder sound?" said Erica, with surprise in her tone
"No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary slime, huh, ah...... I went in to freshen up, found Xiao Shi and remembered to bring back the plate by the way. Jessica's voice disappeared into the inn with her footsteps.
"Poor Slime" Shi Leiyin was not in a hurry to go back, turned around and swept the four apples that he hadn't eaten yesterday out of his stomach. He put the plate on his head and went straight into the station.
With Erica kneading for nearly half an hour, Shi Leiyin finally told the four of them about his current situation, but concealed that he was a devouring slime, and only said that the physical immunity was caused by the white spirit on the outside. Seeing Erica rubbing and rubbing Shi Leiyin, everyone also believed what Shi Leiyin said, as long as he withdrew that layer of spirit into his body, there would be no penetrating effect.
"Speaking of Lei Yin, didn't you say that you are already a fourth order?" Erika was a little tired of playing, propped her chin on the table, tilted her head, and poked her fingers at Shi Lei Yin and asked, "Why can I still feel the contract with your pet?"
"Maybe it's because we don't want to be terminated" Shi Leiyin knew what Erica was asking, but he really didn't think about breaking the contract with Erica when he was promoted to the fourth order, and according to the time of signing, maybe it would only be canceled when he asked for forced cancellation.
"Hehe, that's good, I don't want to cancel the contract, fourth-order pet, I didn't believe it, hehe" Erica smiled happily, and when Shi Leiyin said that she didn't want to cancel the contract, she was really happy.
"Okay, let's think about what to do next" Jessica was inexplicably a little unhappy, and took Shi Leiyin into her hand, just rubbed it, and pinched his round body into various shapes.
"That," Wren raised his palms timidly, "I saw in the backyard in the morning, and there were still a few horses there."
In addition to the carriage we came in, there was also a flatbed cart. Although I can't drive a carriage, Wendy and I can do a bit of it, and we have done ...... in the village."
"It only takes two horses to pull it," added Wendy, "but it's not like a box like a noble's carriage, and it's not as fast," and she didn't seem to have any affection for the carriage in her tone.
"Then use this set," Erica said cheerfully, "it's better to walk on her own than to walk on her own feet, and it won't be so bumpy." Wren, Wendy, I'll leave the car to you. Jessica and I were in charge of packing."
"What about me?" said Shrayin easily breathed out of Jessica's clutches.
"Alert!" Erica grabbed Shrayin and threw him out of the door.
Chapter 33: The Journey of Trial (3)
The cart was even more shabby than Erica had imagined, in fact, it was nothing more than a cart of hay used to pull the horses. However, after Wendy and Wren spread a layer of hay on the body, there was no peculiar smell, but a little grass and wood. The two strongest horses were harnessed and slowly left the inn with the four men under Wren's control.
With two horses missing and Wren's lack of skill, the speed of the cart was naturally much slower than the previous carriage, only a little faster than walking. However, the three girls were not dissatisfied, after slowing down, the car was not as bumpy as before, and the air was ventilated on all sides, and the smell of the forest around the road made the girls feel comfortable.
Jessica also sang a song at Erica's instigation.
"It's so good to sing" Shi Leiyin secretly read a message to Jessica. Since he was able to speak, both the contract with Erica and the effect of the Mind Earrings had weakened a lot, and unless Shi Leiyin took the initiative to pass it, the two girls could no longer accept his mental activity. Jessica's face flushed slightly, but she sang more energetically.
In the evening, Erica and Jessica are in charge of making dinner. To Shrayin's surprise, Erica's cooking skills were far better than she looked, and she made the air-dried preserved food very tasty. After eating and drinking, Shi Leiyin, who had nothing to do during the day, took the initiative to take on the work of keeping vigil. After absorbing the spirit body of the Holy Slime, he now only needs to sleep for one or two hours a day, and he has already slept enough when listening to songs in the car during the day.
The next day it was Wendy's turn to drive, with Wren resting in the back. Erica was very fond of teasing Wren, pinching Wren's face like a pinch, making the little boy blush. Jessica would hug Shi Leiyin on the side, laughing and watching the two fight.
The group walked for several days without incident, and finally came to a fork in the road.
"Where should I go?" Wendy was driving today, and the car was parked at the fork in the road, but there were no signs, so she had to ask the person behind her.
"It seems that both roads can be walked" Erica opened the map she brought, a few days ago, because there was only one road to choose, she didn't need to confirm the location of everyone, and after carefully reading the map, she found that in fact, this fork in the road was just a simple divider, and it would merge back into the same place not far away.
"I know which one is closer... Or is it safer?" Jessica leaned over from the side and saw that the two roads on the map were almost the same length, so she changed the distance to safety. However, it is clear that Erica's map is not so detailed.
"Lei Yin, you decide which way to go!" Erika threw the question directly at Shi Lei Yin, who was dozing.
"I, then go up," Shi Leiyin decided on the route without thinking, "Anyway, there is no written one on the map that is safer, and it is not all the same how to decide." Throwing off a sentence, Shi Leiyin fell into Jessica's arms, enjoying the girl's body fragrance, and continued to sleep.
"Then go the way up there, Wendy, let's go" Neither Erica nor Jessica had any objection to Shrayin's actions, after all, the girls were still a little grateful for the vigil every night so that they could sleep well.
Driven by Wendy, the car slowly walked along the path they had chosen. No one noticed that in the grass on the side of the road, there was a wooden sign that seemed to have been knocked down by something, and the words "Witch Attention" were written on it.
