I have a shelter

The forest was entangled with thorns, and the spider webs between the tree crowns were connected together. There was a lot of snow on the top, hanging on the spider webs.

Poisonous little spiders crawled everywhere in the sparse snow between the branches, seemingly not afraid of the cold at all. Occasionally, a few big pieces fall down, and you can't help but turn around with goosebumps all over your body to see if it's snow or something else.

The group of people had stopped and gathered around a corpse as big as a horse. The giant octopus was burned black, and golden fire was burning in a terrible huge wound on the abdomen. Around the body, much of the snow seemed to have melted.

"No wonder there are so many spiders here, it turns out there is such a big thing." Martin shook off the ashes on his sword and extinguished the holy flame in his hand. Then, he looked at the businessman next to the lord intentionally or unintentionally.

(“But it’s a male!” Alexander, who took the initiative to collect materials from the spider, raised his head and spoke. He didn’t know how he was sure or where he heard the word ‘male’.)

"Sir! I never encountered this thing when I came back." After seeing Martin's look, Gale quickly explained to George and almost swore to the sky.

He doesn't need to think about it to know what that dark guy Martin is thinking - he definitely thinks that he is leading everyone astray!

What a pity! What is he planning? Does Tu Xiao live a long life? Is the picture here clean?

George knew that although this guy was a little complaining about himself, there was really no need to do so. So understand this. So he waved his hand and asked everyone to be quiet.

Not long after, several red-robed knights rode back from the distance. From what they said, although the spider webs spread far, they had an end. But the knights who came back from the northwest mountains and forests later said exactly the opposite.

"I saw some wriggling cocoons and shriveled animal skins. But luckily, I didn't see anything big like this."

"I did see it in the north direction, but it was just a corpse - the stomach had been removed by something. It looked a bit disgusting."

George frowned and couldn't help but look at the two maps.

Gale looked at his face and whispered: "Sir, a little further west is the swamp. It's not far away - I swear, we definitely didn't go the wrong way."

George didn't respond, but after looking at it for a while, he raised his head and asked, "What is there in the direction of the northwest forest?"

"From the mountain over there, walking further west for a while are several pastures." The businessman replied after thinking for a while.

Garvey looked at the businessman and interjected: "What the Lord Lord means is that these spiders may have come from the mountains over there - I remember that there is an iron mine in those mountains. of."

After speaking, he looked at George: "Sir, there should be no such things in the pasture. Because although it is also in the forest, there are also large open spaces - those horses are not as easy to catch as zombies. And After the heavy snowfall this winter, no matter how hardy these monsters are, they won’t settle there.”

George said "hmm" and agreed with these words. But my heart became even more depressed.

Putting aside the problem of the iron mine, the things he saw along the way to the west were enough to make him worried.

There was a river blocking the direction where Johannes was originally, and there were often so many zombies crawling over from the bottom of the river to infest the eastern part of the valley. When the river freezes this winter, these things that hate water will slowly come over.

Gradually, everyone came back and continued westward in the forest. The cobwebs on the road gradually decreased, and just as Gale said, a red forest gradually appeared in the distance.

These strange trees were not originally this color, and usually according to this season, even the pine leaves would fall off a lot.

But the red forest is like a red border, with large tracts of red leaves holding snow, which looks very eye-catching.

It was still far away, so Gale shouted to make everyone stop. Then George asked Alexander to dismount and patted the snow on the ground with his halberd. Everyone heard a crisp sound of ice breaking, and black water and mud came out, and a small area around it The area actually squirmed a few times.

"It would be nice if the snow fell a little heavier. At this temperature, it can't be frozen very deep at all - be careful, it will make it even harder to walk now."

The terrain of this swamp is low, and a river bend here flows into it, and water is poured into this swamp all year round. In this entire area, it is impossible to tell where is the water with floating vegetation and leaves, where is the silt that eats people, and where is the thick land that can be walked on.

After the heavy fog, it became even more dangerous.

Some hunters living nearby would know how to walk here, but there were no real 'locals' in the team. Even if some people have been here, they may not be able to tell the difference in this snow - on the contrary, everyone can see the mist a hundred steps away.

However, this businessman, who had been here for the second time, seemed to be very familiar with this place.

When he took the map that George 'lent' to him, he led everyone to the right road.

Although there are too many people in the team, it is inevitable that some people will get stuck in the mud. But often the tall horse would pull, or the nearby knights with strange powers would throw a rope. You can pull them out.

It's just that this process is a bit too uncomfortable. Not only is it a bit scary all of a sudden, but the water is also too cold, and the smelly silt will remain on the armor.

"I said that although the area I chose is not the easiest to walk, it is the safest - you have to know that there are some places where things cannot be recovered after they fall there." On the way, Gale said to George: "In some places, there is water above and mud below. If you fall down, you will disappear, and your legs cannot be pulled out from the mud, so you can only drown."

"Not only that." Gale turned his head: "There may be many hands pulling people down below."

"How did you know this road? I've been observing this map for a long time - some areas you haven't been to are not shown in such detail. And it seems that you came here for the first time last time." George finally asked. Doubts arise in my heart.

"These things have inheritance, sir. You see, most of the areas on this map are marked, but I have not been to so many areas." Gale said: "And every time we return to the Chamber of Commerce, we will also Record a lot of useful information that cannot be shown on the map so that those who come after you can travel safely. "

"Gale." George looked into the guy's eyes: "It turns out that this map can actually be enlarged, right?"

""

After coughing awkwardly, the businessman said: "There will inevitably be damage in inheritance, sir."

George nodded, knowing when this thing had been damaged—a few days ago. He made another severe note to this profiteer in his heart.

Gradually, they finally crossed the swamp before dark.

After crossing the dry hill and walking for a while, we saw the horse trail leading to the pasture in the forest.

"Sir, there are several large pastures in the northern part of the valley, and there are more than a dozen large and small horse farms in the pasture. However, if we take this road, we will only encounter two horse farms before arriving at the manor."

"This first horse farm is relatively close to us. Although the horse farm is not big, there are still dozens of them. And because most of the horses are domesticated, they are docile draft horses, so it is relatively easy to capture them."

"The racecourse that the second road leads to is a little far away from here and already belongs to the Black Lake. But it is a large racecourse. However, because there are many BMWs with precious pedigrees and violent temperaments, they have been abandoned over the years. , they make the whole herd wild, so it may not be easy to handle.”

On this quiet forest trail covered with thin snow, the businessman and George walked side by side: "And it's not convenient for us to bring too many horses this time, after all, after we get to the manor."

George squinted his eyes and glanced at Gale slightly. Make that guy shut up immediately

"Gail, shut your mouth, you have to understand one thing." George looked at the fog in the distance, and said this seriously and arrogantly: "We are going here to assist the Duke and supervise In charge of the supply of troops and the recruitment of young men on the front line - if Count Black Pearl doesn't prepare these draft horses by herself, why should we help her prepare them?"

Duke Adeline was just asking for food.

This is obviously not true.

However, after Gale heard this nonsense, his eyes suddenly widened and he understood what he meant.

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

George had specifically told himself not to tell anyone about the Duke's going out.

And if the Duke is still there, then if this 'black pearl' behind Windsong City shows any fox tail, Duke Adeline will definitely destroy her completely before the war begins!

Therefore, they didn't need to take the horses to the manor at all - it was enough to go to the black lake and pick some of their favorite horses.

The 'Mr. Bishop' is going to let that girl bring up the rest of the draft horses on her own initiative!

"Let's go! Let's go to the Black Lake! Let's see what good treasures Count Black Pearl is preparing to contribute to my Knights Templar!"
