Still on the snowy avenue outside the city, Wang Yi finally rode the ghost horse alone again, instead of riding with others.

Next to Roy finally got rid of the arrogant posture of the former Lori and the queen sister, he was alone and a horse, Antino was still riding a motorcycle, Kelly and the new Ladia also had their own horses, and the speed suddenly went up a lot.

"Is it really right to go here? I see on the map that we should go from Creek Wood through the Flying Watchtower to the other side of the mountain to Ivasteide, why do you want us to go north? ”

The two had already inquired about how to go to the throat of the world, but when choosing the route, Roy was a little puzzled by Wang Yi's choice.

"Trust me, man, you don't want to get lost in the mountains, so although there are some detours, there will definitely be no problem with the direction, and there is still a lot of time for us, and there will be no delay or anything." Wang Yi explained.

"Mr. Panda's words are very reasonable, it is better to get lost on the road than in the wild, especially in the mountains, at least the former we still have the opportunity to ask passers-by, and the latter can only rely on ourselves," Kelly still has a lot of life experience as a qualified mercenary who has been adventuring outside all year round, "but personally, I still prefer to go to the wilderness, and it is more likely to encounter ruins that have not been discovered for the time being, and there are no ruins on the side of the road for us to hunt for treasure." ”

"We're not going on a treasure hunt now," Roy decided, "in that case, let's follow Mr. Panda." ”

The group of five people hit the road again, because of Wang Yi's insistence, they walked in the direction of the north, intending to make a detour to bypass the peak of the Throat of the World from north to south, and then climb from Ivasteide to find Graybeard.

Walking along the river, I encountered several bandit dens along the way, but the robbers could not pose a threat to Roy and the others, so they were easily dealt with, and I also saw a rock pillar like the Guardian Stone on the side of the road, the Ritual Stone.

"Hey! Roy, this is good stuff! You can temporarily manipulate the corpse of an enemy, which is a very good ability to save your life! Wang Yi pointed to the rock pillar and said, "I changed it, do you want to change the stone pillar?" ”

"It is not right to desecrate the dead!" As a kind nobleman, Roy is still very resistant to this kind of thing, and he doesn't want Wang Yi to do this, "Do you want to become an evil existence?" Necromancers don't have a good reputation! ”

"Don't do that, man, you see, we are good, then our enemies are evil, don't be so kind to the bad guys, right? I promise I won't use this ability on civilians and good people, right? And I can't change it now, I can only meet the next stone pillar. ”

"This ...... For now, but you'll have to make sure to swap out the next pillar when you encounter it! ”

"Okay! Yes! So be it! Let's hurry up, we still have more than half the way to go! ”……

"Damn! I hate the rain! Kelly complained.

After leaving the Ritual Stone, it didn't take long for the sky to turn dark, and it was just close to noon, so it wasn't too late and it was getting dark, but it was going to rain.

As a feline tiger woman, Kelly is quite bored with water, and if it weren't for the fact that she had to maintain her image in front of Roy, Wang Yi believed that she would not have bathed for a long time.

"Let's hurry up, maybe there is a place to hide from the rain ahead!"

Roy comforted his entourage and took the lead in speeding up the horses.

"Woo woo woo ~ It's so uncomfortable to say that Antinos doesn't like rain."

Wearing metal armor, if only a chest guard and hot pants can be considered armor, Antioch also does not like to be wet in the rain, and is very obedient to Roy's orders, the speed of the motorcycle is much faster than that of the horse, and she does not have to worry about physical problems, so she runs to the front to clear the way for everyone.

After a while, there was a roar, not thunder in the sky, but the sound of explosions.

"Well, it looks like there's a place to hide from the rain."

Wang Yi has always been afraid of a certain big killer, and he has turned on the ability of mutants almost around the clock, and as long as there is something wrong, he can definitely react immediately, at least he will not let the explosion-explosion affect him. Although he was a little tired, Wang Yi's control over his ability was greatly strengthened, and it was somewhat rewarding.

A huge fire lit on the side of the road in the distance, several elephant-like creatures lay on the ground, and two huge humanoids also fell, and the tent next to it was carefully guarded, not affected by the explosion, at least it was no problem to hide from the rain.

Giants and mammoths, sparsely distributed but quite common creatures in the wild, mammoth corpses are still valuable, especially the pair of tusks, giants are useless, but there will always be a treasure chest in their camp, if the skill is passed, you can still get something. （*1）

"Brother Master! Treasure Chest! Treasure chest~! ”

Antioch was so excited that even the rain that had fallen could not extinguish the fire that had ignited her because of her dedication to wealth.

"That...... I wouldn't have unlocked it without a key! ”

"No problem, little master," Kelly said, "to be a mercenary, you need to know a little skill, so such a trivial matter as picking a lock is not difficult for me." ”

Since Kelly is arrogant, Wang Yi doesn't intend to dampen her enthusiasm, and he didn't mention the fact that the lock of this box has been damaged because of Antino's burst bomb just now, maybe someone has a way?

Well, it's still very difficult to open the lock when the lock is broken, at least Kelly, who only knows a little skill, just when the three humanoid little female dragons were depressed because the treasure was locked, Roy looked at Wang Yi.

"Panda, can you help open it?"

The three ladies didn't know, but Roy had seen Wang Yi show excellent combat skills, and the experienced Ralof thought that he was a member of the Thieves' Guild, because the members of the Dark Brotherhood were better at assassination, and Larov didn't think that the assassins would have such excellent frontal combat abilities, more likely to be bows and crossbows or poison-potions.

Anyway, Wang Yi is now considered by Roy and others to be a "novice" of thieves who has undergone a lot of training and is highly skilled, but has no actual combat experience, and when he encounters the problem of unlocking, just leave it to the thieves to solve it, and Roy knows only Wang Yi as a thief, don't look for him to find anyone.

Although there were some problems in the thinking process, the result was correct, Wang Yi used cheating means to open the lock, a saber-toothed tiger's fur, two saber-toothed tiger eyes, a saber-toothed tiger's teeth, and two wolf skins. Although something at the end was really worthless, the pleasure of opening the treasure chest filled the ladies with joy, and even forgot the original purpose of coming to this camp --- sheltered from the rain.

After the rain, the weather in the sky is changing, and when the sun shines on the ladies, they remember what they want to do.

"Ah~~~~!"

PS1: The first time the author met Mammoth and the Giant, it was in the place near Snowman City, he sneaked to the treasure chest, and finally opened the treasure chest with a lot of lock-opening tools with novice-level lock-picking skills, and the result was quite gratifying, the eyes and fur of the saber-toothed tiger, as if there was a gem.
