Chapter 52: The Road is Ruthless
A day later than expected, he carried a small package in one hand, it was a completely subdued black wolf, holding Kerr's hand and carrying a large long sword behind his back.
From the road under your feet, walk all the way to the west.
Bill remembered that there was a big monster in the direction of this side, and Bill had bypassed it far away according to the seed energy in his mind.
But in the course of a day's march, the environment around him changed dramatically.
Not only are the trees and vegetation more and more lush, but there are also more and more birds and beasts, and even under his feet now are hideous insects with twisted and strange shapes! The grass family in the ground is completely occupied by these small lifeforms, long, short, black, and white. This ground has become an ocean of life.
Such a place made Bill wonder if he was going in the wrong direction, or if he had come to some dangerous forbidden area
This shocking scene, Bill naturally can't walk in with his eyes closed, it seems to be no different from death, if these insects are completely harmless, Bill won't believe it!
It took another day to reconfirm the direction to the east, just as he had expected, and in the face of the hard evidence, Bill had to stay away from this dangerous place, and it took him a longer time to get around.
There is also a strange thing that happened to Bill, which made Bill uneasy during this time, and it was still the same problem as before, every morning he would see a lot of ghost-like things, which seriously affected his daily life, and in addition to these, Bill had another problem with his eyes.
It was red and hot, making his eyes look like rabbits, and the red was scary
Bill wondered if there was something wrong with him, and maybe one day he would go blind. Encountering such a strange thing made him depressed and unhappy.
"Step out of the way."
Bill's eyes were red, and he unhurriedly pulled out the long sword behind him, leaving behind the small 'package' in his hand that was covered with layers of animal skin.
When Ke'er heard this, her eyes looked at the two huge black bears with fear, two meters away, she looked frightened, but fortunately her legs and feet were obedient, so she retreated back a little tremblingly, and ran away for a distance of more than ten meters.
The distance between the two black bears and Bill slowly narrowed, and Bill stood still.
The energy creatures seemed to be unable to be captured by the black bear, and Bill, a large living person, stood in front of them, stunned and undetected.
The long sword was raised horizontally, slowly slicing through the air, red eyes, Bill was a little uncomfortable, he was silent for a moment, slowly closed his eyes, and only relied on the subtle perception of creatures in the dark art to inspect the two unexpected enemies.
Within three steps, Bill was the first to strike.
His movements were not fast, but he was unusually calm, and the blade of the sword was in Bill's hands.
The thick fur of the black bear did not protect itself from the sword.
A white light converged, and a two-meter-tall black bear on the left had been impaled in the heart.
Fighting, it's so easy
Even at the moment of death, the black bear did not determine Bill's location, and the other big black bear, which was fine, directly entered a state of rage, and its majestic front paws swept around its body without looking.
The tremendous force set off a layer of strong wind, and even blew Bill's torn clothes to hunt.
With a flat look, Bill instantly opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying red light, and took a step back silently, unscathed under this violent round of attack.
The long sword in his hand, taking advantage of the interval between attacks, stabbed in the face.
It is still a deadly offensive as steady as Mount Tai.
The violent bear's head, a long red stream of blood soared.
Bill's knife actually cut off a piece of bear meat directly.
Without time to breathe, Bill slashed three times in a row with the momentum of his sword.
The three swords, like a downpour, are extremely fast.
In the next second, three huge wounds almost tore through the black bear's huge body.
And after such a fatal attack, the black bear finally whimpered and fell on its back.
In the flat and solid earth, there were two more huge black bear corpses, and under the slightly cool sky after the rain, Bill picked up the package on the ground, and took Ke'er's hand casually, and continued to march towards the east.
With his strong strength and absolute self-confidence, Bill can take a superfluous person and walk safely through this dangerous place that people consider a hunting area.
I just encountered two black bears, which can not be called a danger, and the strength of this black bear is not enough to even give Bill plug between his teeth.
After walking a long way, Ke'er secretly turned his head to look at the two cold corpses on the ground, and then secretly glanced at Bill's red eyes, and patted his small chest in fear.
In this way, the two slowly moved eastward.
After three days, in addition to meeting the necessary physiological conditions for daily life, the two of them did not stop and kept moving forward.
During such a stressful journey, Bill unexpectedly found a human track, which was a small circle surrounded by an earthen wall, which was not high, only half the height of a normal person, and was composed of mud and weeds.
When Bill walked in, he was speechless.
Inside this earthen wall, there were several living people, and they were dressed like the barbarians I had seen at the beginning.
Bill cupped his forehead and glanced sideways at Kerr.
I've been planning to send back the oil bottles around me, and even looked for her tribe for this, but in the end something unexpected happened, and now I saw a race of their race again in this situation.
"I couldn't find it when I wanted to look for it, but now I don't look for it, but I still find it!" Bill's eyes were red, and he smiled at Kerr beside him.
Kerr's face tightened, and she seemed a little afraid to break free of Bill's palm.
"Afraid of what?" Bill really wanted to throw the bottle back to their tribe so he didn't have to worry about it every day.
Bill ignored Kerr's objections, pulled the woman who had lived with him for less than two months, and walked directly to the earthen wall here.
If these people knew Kerr, the matter would have been resolved, and if she hadn't known her, she should have been able to live and return to her normal life.
Probably because of seeing her fate, Kerr has always tried to break free while moving forward, but she has never been able to resist Bill's brute force, so she can only be forced to let it be dragged along.
Anxious, Kerr returned to yelling again, screaming at Bill's ear, which made Bill directly annoyed, and as soon as he exerted his arms, he picked up Kerr sideways and strode towards a short distance.
Bill didn't need to get too close, as the movement of the two had already attracted a lot of people from the tribe.
The simple outfit, which is completely unsightly, has the same style as their title.
Even in Bill's field of vision, there was a native brute holding a huge stone axe.
Hehββ
Bill's gaze lingered on the shabby stone axe for a few moments, and then he didn't want to say more, and threw the Kerr he was holding on to the ground.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people gathered on the opposite side! But the only one who had weapons was the well-developed brute with the big axe in his hand and the muscles of the dragon.
When Bill looked down.
Kerr, who was thrown on the ground by him, was already misty with his eyes, pitiful, and his eyes met, and Kerr actually grabbed Bill's trouser leg with complaint.
"Alright, go back to your life!"
Bill's body stood still, and the reluctance in his heart was only felt when he parted.
"Gone."
The two words fell, and Bill glanced at the tribal barbarians who were ready to attack and slowly approached, and then sighed bitterly and slowly turned his head and left.
Bill's heart was very quiet, and he lost the sound of the wind, and the disappearance of Kerr seemed to make his originally blank world a big blank.
In his eyes, there was only one direction, and Bill walked.
There is still one dark seed in Kerr's body, and Bill can know that Kerr's position is there, and it will be a day, a month, or a lifetime, until he dies of old age.
In the melancholy of walking like this, Bill's heart was a little blocked, and he touched his kettle and gulped it down, hoping to relieve it.
How good would it be if this water was wine?
Drinking, drinking, the water gradually tasted
Bill slowly got drunk, slightly drunk, and the sky shook.
Sit on the ground with a butt.
"Hehe-"
Bill took another sip and grinned.
The red eyes were a little crimson again.
Bill looked at the sky, watched, watched, seemed to be outside the gods, he pointed to his hands, and smiled again.
Time never stops with people.
It wasn't until the night was full of stars that Bill collapsed in a daze.
But in Bill's world, it is not that he is drunk, but that the stars in the sky are drunk, and the moon is also drunk, and the whole night sky is drunk with him.
The sorrow of lovesickness, the pain of parting, makes people crazy, such an experience, I am afraid that only the masters who are really buried in the depths of the world can completely see it.
The kettle, like Bill, lay limply on the ground, unable to ooze out of the drink.
Mortals, fighting to get drunk.
And mediocrity, no wine to sleep.
But these people are generally not simply alcohol, but stories that are buried by a person.
Under the hesitant road, the choice given to you is indecidable under the trajectory of abandonment and reality ruts, and you lose more, like everything, you can only continue to move forward under this sad unwillingness
The inadequacy of life will make a person become hungry and lose the courage to face it.
"Yes"
Bill, who was delirious, spat out two words, and in this quiet wilderness, it looked bleak and desolate.
Colorful night light, swaying shadows of trees.
Bill seemed to wake up in the middle of the night.
But at this time, he seemed to be really crazy.
Under the ragged costume, it exudes a tyrannical and bloodthirsty madness,
What is it that makes Bill look like this?
With a creaking sound, stepping on the swaying moon shadows all over the ground, Bill disappeared in place step by step.
It's just that the direction he walked was not to the east, but to the west.
In the system's auxiliary bar, which only Bill could perceive, on the character attribute template, there was an extra line of small text when he woke up, shining in the light of the crystal scar.

Thousands of miles away, it was the place of separation.
Behind the small earthen wall, there are those brutes.
A fleeting ghost, with a murderous aura, emerged from the night.
The red pupils are like ghosts asking for their lives in the dark night.
Inside the earthen wall, there are a lot of debris, which are intricate and messy.
In such a complex environment, small earth mountains have been dug out of small caves, and on an inconspicuous edge, a huge wooden cage is being placed.
In the wooden cage, there was a faint huddled figure.
Silently, Bill appeared in front of the wooden cage, red eyes, looking at the man who was shrunk in the cold.
That's Kerr, it's Kerr, who is separated by day.
thought that she could return to her original life, but now
The figure in the wooden cage was defenseless, curled up in distraction, shivering from the cold night.
In front of Bill, Kerr didn't notice.
Until Bill's hand, crushing the railing of the wooden cage.
"Is it cold?"
The withered people made Bill feel distressed, and this superfluous guilt, under the madness and rage, could drown his already small sense at any time.
Kerr was trembling, but Bill, as an energy being, couldn't sense her pain.
There was no voice, let alone an answer.
Holding Kerr's naked body, the two fell into the endless night together.
When they reappeared, the two of them had already reached the outside of the earthen wall, a little distance from where they had just been.
"It's cold, isn't it?"
Bill took off his clothes and carefully wrapped Kerr.
As Bill moved slowly, Kerr sobbed quietly and looked at Bill without saying a word.
Such a gaze made Bill feel even more guilty.
But who knows, even between the same clan, it will be purely factions and strife.
In fact, Bill's actions are really ridiculous, under the survival concept of the tribesmen, fertile girls are scarce resources, and they are spoils that need to be plundered.
It's not a surname, it's not a family, it exists between tribes, which is why Kerr knows that she is going to be abandoned and is afraid.
Without unity, they would never be a group, and war and plunder, would always exist.
Under the Hitomi technique, no one knows what Bill can see, but it is undeniable that he saw what happened to Kerr.
"Wait for me"
Kerr was dressed in a torn fabric, a little warmer, and after a short time together, Kerr could also feel some of Bill's words a little, Bill wanted to leave again, Kerr suddenly hugged him tightly in fear and fear.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to kill someone"
Bill disappeared silently from the spot, and also disappeared from Kerr's field of vision, Kerr's stupid in place, and her brain was not enough, she didn't know why a good person would disappear out of thin air so much, helpless and lost her support again, Kerr's wow began to cry in the same place.
It didn't take long for Bill to reappear in the same place, but compared to a few minutes ago, there was an extra layer of pungent blood on his body, and there was no clothing to cover it, and the bright red blood directly solidified on the surface of Bill's body, condensing into a layer of jet-black blood shackles.
It doesn't take too long to pinch some lives to death.
Bill's appearance was naturally hugged tightly by Kerr again.
Feeling Kerr clinging to his body, Bill breathed a long sigh of relief, got up, and lifted Kerr and himself up.
"Got me, didn't you?"
"It's okay, but it's not the right decision, and there will come a day when you will regret it"
With a long sword on his back, a light crossbow on his back, a kerr, and a package, Bill strode away in a bold stride under the beautiful night.
Three days later
Due to the natural geographical location of the Serpentine River and the prosperity of commerce on both sides of the river close to the port, the mainstream caravan routes extend in all directions, the merchants come and go endlessly, and the recruited mercenary and miscellaneous guides are even more chaotic.
Bill hugged Kerr and struggled forward for three days in endless exhaustion.
Finally found a formal trade route.
But
Bill's current image is really shocking
However, when Bill didn't know how to explain, a 'kind' businessman came over and offered to help Bill, who was scruffy.
Bill looked at the shrewd-looking merchant and admitted that he didn't have any gold coins.
"No, no, no, noble adventurer! Please believe that I am sincere in helping you! β
In such a developed business area as Serpentine River, there are not a few self-made businessmen here, but more ordinary businessmen who have been looking for business opportunities and trying to get rich, just like the one in front of Bill.
"Good, then I need two sets of clean clothes now!" Bill nodded gratefully with satisfaction.
But before Bill could thank the merchant further.
He revealed his true face as a businessman, and the price was skyrocketing.
For Bill, who has nothing, the only value on him is the guy in his hand.
"You mean you want to use all my gear and just change into two outfits?" Bill's eyes were erected at that time, and the black and red color on the eye circles was even more terrifying to people.
"Oh! Dishonorable adventurer, this magic gem ring in your hand, this piece of equipment is too valuable! I'm willing to pay an extra set of clothes to change into"
Before the merchant could finish speaking, Bill grabbed him by the collar and grabbed him all over
A sharp dagger was also unceremoniously placed directly on his neck.
"Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, you want money?!"
Bill, who was full of ruffians, directly put on a posture.
