Chapter 378: On the Road

Goats don't exist and never will be. After eating the sweet potatoes, snow radishes, and hard bread they had gathered, they fell asleep.

The snow at night is even colder, but with Su Wen's bonfire, the sleep quality of several people in the snow room is still quite good. Compared with them, the quality of sleep of the people in the investigation team is not complimentary.

With the exception of a few team members who are extremely adaptable to the field, everyone else is affected by the cold or humidity outside, and their sleep efficiency is extremely low. Fortunately, the equipment carried by everyone was not cold, and after a few refreshing drugs, the spirit recovered.

This refreshing drug is relatively safe, and its side effects only delay fatigue.

The Snow Castle Investigation Group, dragging a small tail, set off again.

Under the influence of monsters, this trade route, which could have been considered busy, has been completely deserted at this time, and for a whole day, Tavlear and the others have not encountered caravans or adventurers. Most of the caravans have been rerouted, and the price of goods sold has risen far less than they have to pay more, and the adventurers have taken advantage of the winter festival to return to their hometowns to enjoy a comfortable winter.

The professional characteristics of adventurers are destined to allow them to freely choose their working hours as long as they are not particularly short of money. There is also a break for ordinary hunting and fishing, not to mention hunting monsters. Even adventurers who want to make a little more money in winter when there is less competition will not choose to operate in such a cold place outside the snow castle, after all, the environment in Sheldon in the south is much more comfortable than here.

"I didn't run into any monsters along the way......" Balotte exclaimed, looking around on his horse.

Greenfield, who was half a horse behind Balot, stepped forward two steps, shook his head and explained: "Second Miss is wrong, what was hovering over our heads just now is the Gray Mountain Eagle, although it is called an eagle, but this is a real monster...... Just ......"

"I was just scared away because of the ghost horse we were riding. Mia followed Greenfield's words and said, she probably knew the characteristics of the ghost war horse best besides Su Wen.

Ellie looked back at them and sighed.

"What are you sighing for?" asked Su Wen without looking back.

"Didn't they find the monsters that had run away or watched from afar......?

"Then we're riding this horse right. ”

"Hush. Ellie said disdainfully, "You think those monsters are so smart?

"Oh, yes? That's hard work. ”

"Hey, that's a perfunctory answer!!"

The conversation between the two was not loud, and the three people behind did not hear the content of the conversation between the two.

Although the mountain road is rugged, it is almost impossible for the ghost warhorse to pose an obstacle. Whether it's snow or dark ice, the Ghost Warhorses can easily cross it, and even steep cliffs or rocky slopes that are almost impossible for people to walk on don't stop them.

On the first crossing of the steep cliff, Balotte closed his eyes in fear and hugged his horse tightly, almost weak. It was only after the ghost horse took her through safely that the symptoms of fear of heights were alleviated, and later, when encountering similar terrain, Balott was almost completely unafraid, and also formed a perception that "as long as she was on horseback, she was quite safe".

Even Greenfell, after getting acquainted with the ghost war horse under his crotch, had the feeling of "what kind of thing did he ride before?".

The few people who were marching on the mountain road were even more relaxed than the investigation team traveling down the mountain.

Although the snowhoof horse is the excellent war horse of the snow castle, after all, it is also a mortal fetus, and it is quite hard for them to travel with a heavy load in such a cold climate. So, naturally, the speed slowed down. If it weren't for the fact that there were people in the investigation team who knew horses, then these snowshoes would be even more sad.

"Rosen, how much food did we bring with us when we set off?"

"Four bags, about ten days, what's wrong?" Rosen replied.

"Oh, nothing, I'll just ask. Tavlear diverted the subject, still unable to let go of the sense of disobedience in his heart. He always felt that the amount of food seemed to be consumed at an abnormal rate, and after thinking about it, Tavlear finally decided that there was probably someone who had a larger amount of food, not to mention, a few loaves of bread, and they would not starve to death here. After that, Tavlear didn't think much about it.

Little did they know, of course, that every night would slip into their camp with a petite figure, quietly take a few loaves of bread, and wave their hands without taking a cloud with them.

On the third day, probably because the bread, sweet potatoes, and snow eggs did not provide enough calories to satisfy Ellie, when Su Wen woke up, he smelled the smell of meat wafting directly from outside the igloo.

Su Wen walked out of the igloo and found Ellie with a goat on a spinning bonfire.

“......“

“......”

"What are you seeing, haven't you seen barbecue?"

"It's not...... Where did you get this goat?"

"Catched. Ellie replied briefly, then added, "And this isn't a goat, it's a horned goat." ”

"Aren't they all sheep? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Ellie was concentrating on cooking the food in front of her, and didn't have time to pay attention to Su Wen.

Several others also woke up one after another, and when they found the horned sheep on the campfire, they all looked at Ellie in surprise. Ellie immediately cut off half of the sheep's body and gave it to a few people. This wild horned sheep is relatively small in size and its meat is not as tasty as the meat used in the reared livestock, but it is also a real meat. On such a snow-capped mountain, it is simply a delicacy!

But the few people were not too hungry, and the small half of the sheep body was also kept by them, anyway, at this temperature, the meat would not spoil.

By the time they had finished their preparations, most of the remaining horned sheep had disappeared.

“...... What about the sheep?" asked Greenfield.

"Eat. Ellie replied, and the topic was revealed.

The fur of the horned sheep is left behind, and after a simple treatment, it can be used as a blanket. And the two big horns were also picked up by Su Wen and used as materials for the production of items. However, Su Wen didn't do it for the time being, just hung the sheep's horn on the horse's back. The other bones were turned into a few small bone blades by Su Wen, and they looked sharp.
