Go through the game world as a passerby
Chapter 4 Black Cloak
The icy river water numbs the pain caused by the wound, and Shake rises and falls with the current. He has no more strength to swim to the shore, and can only try his best to catch his breath once in a while.
It was already dark, and the big moon hung high in the sky. The hazy moonlight cast a layer of tulle on the mountains and forests on both sides, making it beautiful and mysterious.
This was originally a night scene that Xia Ke would appreciate, but at this moment he was dizzy, thinking that the moonlight was too dark for him to see the surrounding scene clearly.
He didn't know where he was being washed by the water now, so he could only relax his body as much as possible, accept the force of the water flow softly, find the right time to change direction along the water flow, and grab the long aquatic plants suddenly when he was slightly close to the river bank. Drag yourself to the shore.
The animal fur coat soaked in water was very, very heavy, and he lay on the shore for a long time clutching the water plants before he finally gathered enough strength to throw himself up.
Autumn nights are already very cold, and soaking in the water for a long time has taken away a lot of temperature. When we go ashore and be blown by the cold wind, it is even colder to the bone.
He struggled to stand up, looked around in a daze, surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, he didn't know where to go for a while, the way back was full of dangers, but how long would it take to walk along the river bank before meeting someone ?
His teeth cracked uncontrollably, and the excessive blood loss made him feel tired and weak.He only had clothes left on him, and everything else was lost. He couldn't make a fire, and there was no food. He doubted whether he could survive.
Hunger, cold, and pain tormented him into a trance. His vision was a little loose. Looking around in a daze, he vaguely saw a faint fire in the mountains and forests next to the river.
At this time, he didn't care about the danger, he hugged himself tightly with his hands, and walked towards the fire with tired steps.
The night wind was as cold as ice, and Xia Ke felt that there was no warmth left on his body, so he just walked forward stiffly, holding his breath that he didn't want to die so casually, and kept walking.
Fortunately, maybe the bad luck finally passed, and what he saw was indeed the flames.
He was overjoyed, and shouted frantically in his heart, hurry over, hurry over, rush over, but his tired body still moved in small steps.
When he finally got close to the fire and felt the fiery warmth, Xia Ke finally had a feeling
"Ah, it's good to be alive." A wonderful feeling.
"Who is there?"
The voice of questioning came from the cave behind, Shake should have quickly hid in a safe place and tested whether the other party was kind, but he couldn't move, he couldn't move a step, he just sat quietly by the fire, answer with a weak voice
"A passing hunter."
He didn't even look back to see if the other party would give him an axe.
The people in the cave didn't come out for a long time, and they didn't make any more noises. Xia Ke thought, maybe the other party was also a passerby, and he was also wary of himself.
The warmth brought by the fire made his body slowly regain consciousness, and the pain and hunger became more obvious. Fortunately, the warmth brought some strength, allowing him to take off his wet clothes and twist them.After all this, he tried to speak
"Hey, is there anything to eat?"
The other party didn't answer him. After a while, there was a rustling sound, and after a while, a small package was thrown over.It's some apples and a fish.
"Thank you."
So far, the two had nothing to say. Shake ate apples and fish, and rested against a stone by the fire. Maybe he was really tired, or there was someone who was willing to give him food, let him Feeling relieved, he actually fell asleep.
This time he fell into a deep sleep, and he didn't wake up in the middle of it. He didn't open his eyes until he heard the sound of the withered grass being stepped on. By adding the dead wood next to it, the fire intensifies and illuminates the surroundings.A person wrapped tightly in a black cloak was already more than ten meters away from the fire. That should be the person who delivered his food last night.
Shake yelled loudly
"Hey! My name is Xia Ke, and I live in the forest near the town of Ambit. If you need me, you can leave a message at the Snow Mountain Tavern. I will go down the mountain every seven days."
The other party didn't answer him, and didn't stop because of his words. He still walked at the original pace, and soon disappeared into the dark woods.
Shake didn't care, he just added some dead wood to the fire.He rested very well yesterday, and most of his spirit has recovered, but several wounds on his body are relatively deep, and he still cannot make major movements.
He turned his head and looked around, trying to judge whether it was suitable for him to stay here for a few days, but he was startled when he saw it.
This turned out to be the entrance of an abandoned mine.According to the setting in the game, the abandoned mine is equal to the robber's den. I didn't expect that I slept soundly outside the robber's den yesterday.
He stood up and wanted to leave quickly, but stopped after taking two steps.
It stands to reason that if this is a robber's den, there should be at least one or two guards at the entrance of the cave, and the black cloak doesn't look like a robber. He spent the night in the cave, either there was no one here, or the place was cleaned up by the black cloak .
Xia Ke stood at the entrance of the cave and hesitated for 2 minutes, but still picked up a torch from the fire, and decided to go in to find out.
He carefully walked a few steps towards the entrance of the cave, except that the entrance was relatively dark, and a few meters further in, there were oil lamps hanging on the mountains on both sides of the mine, and the light was enough for people to see the way ahead.If the light is sufficient, people will be more courageous.
He didn't hesitate any more, and proceeded cautiously, only stopping at the corner. If there were still people in the mine, it was very likely that he would meet a sentry when he turned the corner.
With his back against the wall, he poked his head out slightly to check
"call!"
He quickly swallowed the exclamation that had reached his throat, his eyes widened, obviously frightened.
"It's okay, it's just a corpse." He comforted himself in his heart,
"Didn't you already guess it!"
"Don't be afraid."
"Just, like a dead beast."
"Shake, this is the reality of this world."
Maybe it was the last reason that convinced him, he took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and took a long time before he moved forward again.
He approached the corpse and boldly confirmed that the other person was really dead, then carefully picked up the machete in his hand. The black cloak should be a magician. This corpse had obvious burn marks, and Shake didn't dare After a closer look, I was only sure that the other party would not suddenly jump up and stab him, so I moved away from him quickly.
Going forward, I encountered a few more corpses on the road. Xia Ke boldly forced himself to look directly at them. After making sure that the other party was no longer a threat, he picked up a dagger and stuck it in the hidden pocket inside the animal leather boots. .
The narrow tunnel is only a few tens of meters long, and after turning a corner, it leads to a relatively spacious cave. It has obviously been remodeled, the walls are relatively flat, and there are no sharp stones exposed.
There is a dilapidated wooden table next to the wall, and a floor-to-ceiling cabinet next to it. On the opposite floor, there are a few not-so-clean straw mats spread across the floor, and there are crumpled animal skin blankets on it. , and quickly threw it down, it was too smelly, and he was a little reluctant to pick it up.
He got up and rummaged through the cabinet. The black cloak should have searched here too. Shake didn't even find an apple. There were some half-eaten food on the ground, but he wasn't hungry enough to choose to ignore it.
After rubbing his growling stomach, Xia Ke picked up a basket, carefully stepped on the unsafe wooden ladder, and walked deeper into the mine.
The wooden ladder is spiral and narrow enough for only one person to pass. There is no handrail, and it requires a little skill and courage.
Circling down the wooden ladder, you will soon reach the next floor.After walking through a not-so-long tunnel, Xia Ke saw a few more corpses under the dim light of the fire. It seemed that the black cloak had also been here.
He felt strangely relieved, and even took a little bigger steps.
He stepped over the corpse carefully, picked up the dropped weapons and threw them into the back basket, thinking that these weapons could at least make up for what he lost yesterday, and the anger of being bullied so powerless yesterday really disappeared.
"You still need to know some magic."
Black Cloak singled out the robbers in the entire mine. If he had that ability, he would not have escaped death yesterday.
Of course, knowing a bit of magic doesn’t mean you can become a magician. In fact, many people in this world know a little bit of magic, but it’s only a little bit. True magic skills are not easy for people to learn. They need to report to the Magic Guild to be recognized. are eligible to study.
But even if he only knows a little bit of the most basic magic, for example, the rudimentary fireball technique, which is not very lethal, even if he jumps into the river, he can quickly light a fire to keep warm when he gets up.
"It seems that we still have to take the risk of going to Saw Stone Ridge."
It is the place where he is most likely to get a large amount of wealth in the short term, and the safety factor is relatively high.
With a decision in his heart, Xia Ke walked a little more vigorously.After searching for more than an hour in this abandoned mine, I picked up a lot of various machetes, iron axes and daggers, and even picked up a few apples that fell on the ground and rolled under the table. Nothing to take.
Oh, there is still a slightly better harvest. He found a cave, which was more spacious than the others. Xia Ke happily put away the big tiger skin.
This hole should belong to the bandit leader, and there is even a bookshelf inside. In Xia Ke’s previous life, he had the opportunity to read and write only after he worked. Treasure it and put it away.
The name of this book is "Kakkat One Hundred Delicious Foods You Can't Miss Ⅲ". After reading it, it should be a travelogue that records the delicacies of various places.
Carkart is the name of this world, and Sanaco is only a place where the human race lives, occupying only a small area of Carkart.
However, although the major races have continued to fight all year round, unexpectedly, they are not mutually exclusive, and other races often appear in Sanaco, although Xia Ke has not seen it yet.
After coming out of the mine, it was already dawn. After thinking about it for a while, Xia Ke decided to walk down the river. Most of the towns were built by the river, and it might be a short walk.After all, he was seriously injured and very weak now, and it might not be easy for him to go back to his cabin.
Xia Ke walked out of the woods and followed the direction of the river. After walking for about an hour, he saw a fairly smooth path, which was obviously leading to the gathering place of the crowd.
Feeling a little more relaxed, he set foot on the small path and continued walking. Sure enough, he walked for another half an hour, and he really saw a small house in the distance.
He rejoiced in his heart for his good luck, not only did he not encounter any danger along the way, but he actually made his bet right.
Since there is a small town in front of him, maybe it's just a village, but it doesn't matter, it's good to find a place to rest for a few days and let him recuperate.
It was already dark, and the big moon hung high in the sky. The hazy moonlight cast a layer of tulle on the mountains and forests on both sides, making it beautiful and mysterious.
This was originally a night scene that Xia Ke would appreciate, but at this moment he was dizzy, thinking that the moonlight was too dark for him to see the surrounding scene clearly.
