Entering the Otherworld Chapter 12 Wanli Lin
As the caravan progressed, Apocalypse discovered that there was a small beast in each of the eight hollow wheels of the wagon.
Nian Tianqi fixed his eyes to take a closer look, this is actually a cloud beast.
The cloud beast is a giant rat, a low-level spirit animal, timid and frightened by nature, but also intelligent and gentle, approachable, and quite human.
The most extraordinary thing about this cloud beast is that it has its own true element in its body when it is born, and it can independently absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for its own use, although it is not very aggressive, but it has its own talent spell - the art of light spirit.
The cloud beast will independently run the true yuan to perform the light spirit technique under the fast running, which is also the reason why the cloud beast is in the hollow big wheel, Tianqi thought secretly.
The cloud beast rotates with the wheels in the wheel, running fast, and then performing the art of lightness, thereby reducing the weight of the carriage and making the carriage move faster.
The caravan rolled northward, without stopping for a moment, only slowing down on the way, eating some dry rations on wagons and horses, and the sun turned from east to west, and the sky gradually darkened.
When he arrived at a creekside clearing, Brother Zheng finally ordered a stop and set up a meal on the spot.
The caravan stopped in the open space by the stream, with three wagons in an inner circle and six wagons in an outer circle, some of them preparing to make a fire for cooking, and some of them untied their horses and released the cloud beasts to drink and graze downstream of the stream.
The escort team built a simple defense around the camp, and Nian Tianqi followed Brother Shun Youge and a few members of the escort team to cut down some wood in the nearby woods and make some simple defensive traps within a mile of the camp.
This is the only way for the caravan to pass, so there are still a lot of traps left over from the past, and there are many things in the camp that are ready-made, and even then, it is already dark after a busy life.
When the convoy returned to the camp, the camp was brightly lit and full of meat, and a large bonfire was lit in the center of the camp, on which a large cauldron was set up.
A man was stirring the unknown broth in the pot with a long-handled spoon, and there was a row of grills beside him, on which the bones and flesh of several unknown beasts that had been plucked and peeled were bubbling with oil, and Apocalypse swallowed saliva as he saw it.
Nian Tianqi shared a big bowl of broth with everyone, a large piece of barbecue, the broth is okay, but the barbecue is the favorite of the apocalypse, the barbecue is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the color is crisp yellow, the meat is refreshing, and the mouth of the apocalypse is full of oil.
After dinner, it was already dark, and the convoy was divided into three groups for vigil, two hours before and after, and one hour in between. Apocalypse was taken care of by the escort team, and was assigned to the first shift with Brother Shunyou.
The two of them sat on the back of the carriage in the outer circle, holding a small wine jug of three taels in their hands, and the escort was only allowed to carry ten catties of wine each.
In January, ten catties of wine can only be drunk less than three taels a day.
Three or two wines, not to mention the apocalypse that embarked on the path of cultivation in this life, even in the previous life, it seems that drinking and mistaking things are the truth no matter where they are placed.
On the back of the carriage on the east side, the two of them took a small sip and a small sip of the wine jug in their hands.
Under the broad cold and jade void, gusts of cool breeze followed the mountain breeze in the distance, swept through the forest by the stream, and blew head-on towards the small camp.
The bonfire in the center of the camp was no longer hot, it was beating flickering, and a faint sandalwood fragrance floated from the bonfire to disperse the mosquitoes in the wild.
In the inner circle surrounded by three carriages, people have fallen asleep in twos and threes, and in the two circles of carriages are horses and cloud beasts, cloud beasts are timid and easily frightened, but they are also extremely sensitive to danger.
Further on the periphery are the guards of the vigil, and the outer ring bonfire, which is two feet away from the carriage in the outer ring, which is bright and dazzling, and at night it is illuminated to improve visibility and disperse wild beasts.
"Brother Shunyou, how far have we come today?" Tian Qi took a sip of the "Xianyuan" soju, a specialty of Huge Yao City.
"This is the first camping site on this road, a thousand miles away from Xinglong Town. The road was easy to walk in the first few days, but the road ahead will be more and more difficult. ”
"A thousand miles a day!" Apocalypse jumped out of the carriage and walked along the bonfire in the outer circle, adding firewood one by one, silently thinking in his heart.
Today's thousand miles seem to be almost the same as the thousands of miles in the previous life, if so, how big is this world?
Tianqi looked up at Guang Han and Yu Xuan in the sky, and sighed in his heart.
The night was uneventful, and the early morning apocalypse woke up to the smell of barbecue, and the caravan moved neatly, and everyone had breakfast, cleaned up briefly, turned over their horses, and continued to the north.
Along the way, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the road is getting steeper and steeper, often crossing mountains and mountains, and crossing mountain streams.
The roads became more and more difficult, and the caravans became slower and slower, often no more than one or two hundred miles a day, and the camps became more and more rudimentary, often looking for a leeward place to sleep in peace.
The mountain road is mostly along the mountain stream, one side is the cliff, the other side is the abyss, all kinds of beasts in the dense forest also appear frequently, the apocalypse also with the falcon escort into the dense forest to drive, chase, hunt the beasts in the mountains.
However, for most of the month, there has been no incident of the beast herd attacking the caravan, and after climbing the mountains and mountains for more than 20 days, the terrain has gradually calmed down again, and there are no longer ups and downs up and down.
On this day the caravan again came to a small stream, and a large clearing had been cleared by the stream, and the caravan set up camp as usual.
After this dinner, Brother Zheng gathered everyone together.
"In three days we will leave this forest, this is not the first time we have been doing business, I won't say much, the wolves that have been following us will definitely attack us in these few days, everyone must be vigilant.
From this day onwards, the caravan will be divided into three groups to keep vigil with us, and everyone should have a good rest tonight, and they may not be able to sleep well for the next three days. ”
After all, Apocalypse is not an official member of the Guard, and has always been taken care of by everyone, and today is still the first half of the night vigil, chatting with his companions.
"Big market, this trip is a bit wrong, not to mention the big worm for more than half a month, and there is not a single small worm. One said.
"It's a little strange, it wasn't so calm before, but these beasts can't come out, so shouldn't we go more relaxed. One of the men next to him replied.
"I guess maybe it's because of this wolf pack, the big insects and insects on the road are probably into the stomach of this group of wolves, if that's the case, we really have to be careful, this wolf pack is not expected to be small." A middle-aged uncle said.
Apocalypse knew that the big insects and small insects in their mouths were jackals, tigers, leopards, foxes, hyenas, bears and other large and small beasts in the forest, "The wolves are so powerful, they can hunt other beasts!"
"If that's the case, this wolf pack is not an ordinary wolf pack," Shun Youge said from the side.
"Presumably Lao Zheng will make arrangements, let's be careful, and it will be no problem to go out of this thousand miles of forest in three days." ”
