Jade Chapter 14: Summoning Skeletons
By the time everyone had finished drinking the broth, it was almost two o'clock.
Mainly because there were too many people who chose the broth, Chu Chen had no choice but to take out five mutant mice, and let Miao Chunhua and a few people chop their heads and peel the skin to remove the internal organs again, and boil the soup again, which delayed a lot of time.
After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Xin, Miao Chunhua and several other female members began to clean up the mess, and several male members divided into two ways to continue their work in the morning.
After the women cleaned up, Ding Ruifeng and He Bo's simple wooden house was also built, leaving only Chu Yi and Fang Wei on guard on the roof of the building, and the rest of the men began to collect firewood together.
Before five o'clock, Chu Chen beckoned everyone to call it a day, because the firewood collected was enough for more than ten days.
Fourteen people, including Xiao Yang Xin, began to rest and cook around the fire.
Because the mutant rats at night no longer appeared, Chu Chen had a headache, he didn't tell everyone: There are no less than 15 bags of rice, but there are not many cans and instant noodles.
In the next few days, it is estimated that everyone will have to live a life without food soon.
Then there is experience, when he was promoted to level 2, Chu Chen, who is a lot stronger, eats the marrow and knows the taste, he misses it very much, and he can get hundreds of experiences every day, but he has no source of experience, and Chu Chen has a terrible headache.
Unconsciously pressed his head, and happened to be seen by Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin entrusted the matter at hand to others, holding a pillow in one hand and a small stool in the other, sat behind Chu Chen, and put the pillow on his lap.
Then, Jiang Xin gently pressed Chu Chen's head on the pillow and began to massage Chu Chen.
There were a lot of people, Chu Chen was a little embarrassed at first, but after a while, he closed his eyes comfortably.
Fang Wei saw that Chu Chen began to sleep, so he reminded him in a whisper one by one, and gradually, only the sound of the crackling fire was left around, and Chu Chen slowly fell asleep.
Chu Chen slept from half past five to nine o'clock this time, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
Everyone quietly ate dinner, but only Chu Chen and Jiang Xin did not eat.
Suddenly, a clear and piercing scream downstairs woke Chu Chen up, since the wind and snow stopped, it had been two days, and he hadn't heard a scream like this, this scream successfully woke Chu Chen up from a comfortable day.
Ordered everyone to put out the fire and go back to the house, Chu Chen came to the stairwell with a long wooden stick that had not yet burned completely.
Arriving at the stairwell, Chu Chen immediately summoned the skeletons and ordered the three skeletons to go downstairs to check the situation, and in less than five minutes, Chu Chen's experience began to increase.
It's just that Chu Chen didn't be happy for long, and the three skeletons that could originally hold out for more than ten minutes lost their sense in less than 2 minutes.
Chu Chen didn't have time to be surprised, he heard countless squeaks and chirps downstairs, which came quickly, getting closer and closer each time.
Chu Chen only came to summon the skeleton once, so he could only quickly run out of the stairwell and lock the iron door.
In less than 2 minutes, the three skeletons lost their senses again, summoning the skeletons twice, and only providing Chu Chen with a total of 120 points of experience.
After the skeleton was scattered, the mutant rat began to bite the iron door frantically, fortunately, Chu Yi paid more than ten times the price at the beginning, which made the people in the decoration company really embarrassed to use inferior materials, so although it sounded terrifying, the iron door was not damaged at all.
Chu Chen guarded the gate in fear, and in the four wooden houses, everyone who hadn't even had time to take off their clothes was disturbed by the loud sound of the door closing, and walked out one after another, gathering around Chu Chen, who was holding a torch.
When they learned that there were rats behind the door, they didn't want to sleep anymore.
Under Chu Chen's command, everyone lit a small fire 3 meters away from the iron gate, faced the iron gate, and formed a half-circle, always paying attention to the movement of the mouse and the iron gate.
Two hours later, the alarm clock in the house pointed to a quarter past eleven, and just when everyone was a little drowsy, the screams on the soles of their feet one after another scared the few people gathered together into a cold sweat in this cold night.
As if deliberately cooperating, in the midst of a scream, a blizzard drifted in the sky again, a cold wind that simply pierced the soul, sending a large number of snowflakes from the half-meter gap between the roof and the fence, pouring in, and the small fire persisted for a few seconds before turning into several wooden ice sculptures.
didn't have time to think about the screams downstairs, who made them, Chu Chen quickly stood up, jumped a few times, shattered the thin ice that had just formed on his body, and shouted: "Come into the wooden house!" Fast! ”
Subsequently, Chu Chen took the lead in coming to the door of the house, guarding the door, and letting everyone into the house, also to prevent crowding, pushing down, and trampling.
After waiting for Chu Yi, Yang Lan, Jiang Xin and others at the front to enter the house, Ding Ruifeng got up, took He Rong, He Xing and others, crossed Chu Chen, and ran towards the newly built wooden house during the day.
Chu Chen was afraid that the newly built wooden house was not strong enough, and there was no strong iron shed above the wooden house to block the wind and snow, so he dodged and rushed to Ding Ruifeng to stop them, and pointed towards his home: "Are you crazy? Hurry up and let me in. ”
Seeing that a few people hadn't reacted yet, Chu Chen had no choice but to pull everyone and rush back to the house together.
Back in the house, fourteen people gasped for air, all of them looking frightened.
After Chu Chen rested for a while, he told everyone about the beginning of the heavy snowfall, and his family almost died of lack of oxygen.
Then, Chu Chen came to the gate and prepared to open a small crack, but found that it had only been more than two minutes, and the door had already been frozen.
However, as soon as Chu Chen exerted a little force, the door was pushed open, after all, the time was not long, and the ice cubes formed were only a thin layer.
Fang Wei, Fang Long, Fang Sen, Ding Ruifeng, He Rong, and He Xing were called, and they were in groups of two, and they were on duty in three shifts, and instructed the six people to open a small crack in the door to ensure air circulation in the house.
Leaving Fang Wei and Fang Long, the two eldest people, guarded 3 hours ago, and the other twelve people all sat in the house, and there were only two beds, and a kind of panic lingered among each other.
Chu Chen thought about it again and again, and decided to put some fierce material to divert everyone's attention, which was just right, so that this group of "own people" who had been preliminarily screened would have a deeper understanding of themselves.
"Haha, why are you all so nervous?"
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly and continued, "Isn't this all right? ”
Even though Chu Chen had accumulated a lot of prestige during this time, except for Chu Chen's parents, others didn't buy Chu Chen's words, and their eyes were glazed, and they looked at Chu Chen who was talking unconsciously.
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, mutant rats and wind and snow are not terrible, you are just frightened by your own eyes and thinking. ”
Slowly, Jiang Xin and Fang Wei, two people who knew some things about Chu Chen, began to gradually come back to their senses, one was smart and the other was old, and they all began to cooperate with Chu Chen.
Fang Wei: "Boss Chu, we haven't seen it thoroughly, so please explain it to us." ”
Jiang Xin: "That's right, Chu Chen, you can explain it to everyone." ”
With the voices of the two, the sluggish few people began to come back to their senses a little, and they also began to listen carefully to Chu Chen's explanation.
Chu Chen pointed to the door with his left hand, signaling the two people at the door to always pay attention to the door not to be frozen, and then began to continue: "It's a big wind and snow outside, right?" But this is not the first time, as long as you prepare in advance, this wind and snow is also easy to deal with, let's say let's go now, even if we continue to go for a few days and nights outside, we will have food next door, there will be firewood at the door, just set up a small fire in this house, roast on a small fire, eat hot rice, see if the wind and snow will fall for a long time, or we will stay up for a long time! ”
With Chu Chen's speech, the people in the room, who were originally a little sluggish, completely came back to their senses, and there were still many of them, nodding their heads constantly.
Suddenly, Ding Ruifeng's wife, Zhong Han, asked Chu Chen extremely cooperatively: "So, what about the mutation downstairs, the mutant rat?" Why do you say that Boss Chu is not terrible? ”
Chu Chen glanced at Zhong Han in surprise, if it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't communicated with her beforehand, Chu Chen would still think that she was his trust!
Smiling, Chu Chen asked rhetorically: "The mutant rat is terrible, then, why can we still eat its meat?" ”
After Chu Chen finished asking, he paused for a few minutes, leaving a lot of time for everyone to think.
It's just that Chu Chen found speechlessly that Fang Sen, He Rong, and He Xing were actually thinking about it, and they were also smacking, I was afraid that it wasn't thinking about how terrifying the mutant rats were, I guess they thought about it, how delicious the mutant rats were, right?
"I haven't told you how I got the rat carcass, right?"
Chu Chen spoke up again, asked everyone, and without waiting for a few people to answer, he continued: "Next, I will show you a special ability that you have never seen before. ”
Chu Chen's hands were raised high, and everyone's eyes were also staring at Chu Chen's hands tightly, for fear of missing something.
After about ten seconds, I saw Chu Chen slowly put his hand down, and more than a dozen people, along with Chu Chen's parents, were also dumbfounded, this, this is the end of the show?
Chu Chen smiled and explained, "I need to remind you that the abilities I have shown are a little terrifying, and you must be fully mentally prepared. ”
Chu Yi and his wife looked at everyone in the room, glanced at each other, and both understood Chu Chen's intention to do this.
Chu Chen continued to raise his hands high, and everyone's eyes stared at Chu Chen's hands nervously again, still not wanting to miss anything, but only Chu Chen and his parents found out that everyone no longer completely focused on the mutant rats and the blizzard outside.
Another dozen seconds passed, Chu Chen slowly put down his hand again, and among the dozen or so people, seven or eight people were amused by Chu Chen with some smiles.
Chu Chen didn't laugh, but spoke to Jiang Xin seriously, and said, "The next picture is really a little scary, you cover Xiao Yang Xin's eyes." ”
Jiang Xin glanced at Yang Xin, who was nervously grabbing the corner of her clothes, shook her head, and said: "Not to mention a lifetime, even for a few days, I may not be able to take care of her, let her see it, it's better to be scared than to have an accident." ”
Obviously, Jiang Xin originally wanted to say that she was dead, but she still couldn't say it, so she temporarily changed her words.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Everyone, pay attention, I'm going to summon a few skeletons from the ground, everyone get out of the way for me!" ”
Chu Chen knew very well that the fear of coming into contact with this unnatural phenomenon for the first time created a relaxed and happy mood for everyone, and he directly explained what was going to happen next.
In the end, Chu Chen looked at it and almost recovered his full mana, and before everyone could react, he used the skeleton summon.
When the first skeleton reached out, Xiao Yang Xin was scared and cried, and threw herself into her mother's arms and cried.
Jiang Xin was forced to suppress the fear in her heart and comfort her daughter.
The others were also taken aback, but with Chu Chen's prior notice, everyone was fine, at least there was no gaffe.
After the three skeletons crawled out, although everyone did not accept this kind of thing immediately, they were able to restrain their emotions more effectively.
Seeing that everyone was no longer trapped in the fear of mutant rats and blizzards, and that he had initially accepted his summoning skeleton skills, Chu Chen was still very happy.
