Chapter 21, Absorption

"Erwyn, what are we going to do next?" Susan asked in a low voice, "The teleportation magic array platform has been destroyed, are we going back?" ”

"No, it's not necessary, and maybe the necromancer is still chasing after us, and he will catch up if we go back." Erwin replied.

Susan frowned and said a little unnaturally, "Is that necromancer really going to catch up?" ”

This was undoubtedly a question of Erwin's conclusion over the past two days, but Erwin was not angry.

After all, they hadn't seen a necromancer in two days, and no one would be skeptical about whether it would actually catch up, even Erwin himself wasn't sure.

It's good that Susan can say it openly, instead of hiding it in her heart.

But did the necromancer really let them go?

With Erwin's knowledge of the stubborn dead, this is really unlikely.

"Believe me, those skeletons must still be chasing after them, the nature of the undead means that their way of acting is extremely stubborn, as long as we slow down a little, we may be caught up by them in the next second."

Erwin said in a firm tone, he didn't want Susan to doubt his words, it would not be good for the rest of the relationship.

Susan stared into his eyes, and the two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment before she whispered, "Then what should we do next?" ”

Erwin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Susan was willing to listen to him, then the chances of the two of them escaping from the Shadow Mountains would not be too low. And to be honest, it was easier and safer for two people to act together than for so many people to act together, which gave Erwin confidence, and he already had a clear idea of what to do next.

"It's very simple, let's rest in this cave for the night first, now we have gone deep enough into the mountains, tomorrow we only need to go eastward horizontally, there will be a gathering place of ruins along the way, there are many teleportation magic array platforms in it, the only danger is that there will be more monsters inside, but as long as we are careful, there should be no problem."

Susan nodded slightly, in terms of leading the way, Erwin was still able to make Susan completely believe, and the experience of the past two days was enough to prove that his words were completely correct.

As for why there were so many casualties in their group, the main reason could only be attributed to bad luck and too many accidents, otherwise with Erwin's familiarity with the Shadow Mountains, there was a great chance to take them all out.

"Here you go."

Erwin grabbed a fruit and threw it to Susan.

"This ...... Can you eat it!? ”

Susan picked it up and looked at it, and was surprised to see that the fruit that Elwin had thrown was actually the purple-black fruit of the Troll Oak.

"Of course you can eat it."

Erwin picked one up and took a bite, the purple-black skin was full of flesh, tender and juicy, but the strange taste made him frown, and he swallowed it very reluctantly.

The fruit of the Troll Oak is full of magical power, but its essence is still a mutated wild fruit, which can be used to satisfy hunger. If a normal person eats it, a large amount of mana will be waved from the surface of the body like sweat, and the caster can absorb the magic power in the body, and it can even be used as a substitute for mana potions in an emergency.

Erwin had collected this fruit in the game before, but he didn't expect it to be so unpalatable.

Susan also tried to take a bite, and then her brown eyes, which were the same as her head, immediately widened, and she looked at Erwin in disbelief, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious: "This kind of thing can also be eaten?" ”

"Ahaha, what a thirst quenching thing." Erwin laughed awkwardly.

Susan gave him a blank look, and then ate the fruit one bite at a time with a bitter face.

Soon, a large amount of magic power entering his body began to wave, and Erwin only felt sweating all over, his entire clothes were soaked with sweat, and his forehead and cheeks were also covered with fine beads of sweat.

But he was soon surprised to find that Susan, who had also eaten the fruit, showed no sign of sweating at all.

Erwin's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look closer, Susan's skin was fair and delicate, reflecting a satin-like brilliance under the firelight, and there was indeed no trace of sweat on it.

"Y-What are you doing so close!?"

Susan seemed to be taken aback by Erwin's actions, and reflexively touched the longbow of the infantry beside her.

Erwin didn't notice Susan's movements, but said in surprise: "The magic of the fruit has been absorbed by you?" What's going on, have you ever opened the Spellcasting Elemental Pool? “

"What absorption, what the hell are you talking about?" Susan said a little speechlessly.

"As I said, the fruit of the Troll Oak has a lot of magic power, and if ordinary people eat it, the magic power will come out of their skin like sweat, look at me." Erwin said and reached out and touched his cheek, his palms immediately covered with sweat.

"Only the caster who has opened the elemental pool will be able to absorb the magic in the fruit, you don't sweat at all, you have obviously absorbed all the magic power."

Hearing Erwyn's words, Susan was surprised, and subconsciously touched her cheek, and then as if she remembered something, her face suddenly became a little ugly. "How do I know, don't ask me." With that, she lay down on her side, looking unwilling to talk any more.

Erwin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Susan to react like this, she must have known something with that expression just now, at least she should know that she had opened the elemental pool.

However, those who have successfully opened the elemental pool have all left the civilian class and become honorable spellcasters, so why did Susan become a mercenary who is good at using bows and arrows?

Erwin's mind was full of doubts, but since Susan didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions, but got up and went to lie down a little farther away from Susan, and then clicked on the game system.
