Soul Echo

On the 3rd day when Zhong Ye and the others came to Bourges, the wind and snow finally became much smaller. Although it did not stop completely, people could go outside for activities.

It was also on this day that many churches organized people to help remediate houses whose roofs were crushed by snow.

——Before this, they also rescued and took in those pitiful persons who were homeless due to the collapse of the roof.

The road was full of snow, and it was a bit difficult to go out at this time, so Zhong Ye took Lillian and joined the rescue team, leaving Lily Lieber alone At the adventurer's house, make up for the 'Adventure Notes' he wrote.

Because of the heavy snow, the roofs of many houses in Bourges city collapsed or were broken, and more than a dozen people were directly killed.

However, people are used to it.

When in winter no one dies due to an accident, that is the most unexpected thing.

During the rescue, under the guidance of Zhong Ye, Lilian continued to guide her breath to enhance her physical fitness.

Being able to succeed at least once out of five is a big improvement for her.

She is now confident that she can successfully master 'Qi' and [Breathing Technique] before the rematch, but like Zhong Ye, it is not necessary to think about letting the breath circulate in the body all the time, which is impossible.

Seeing Lilian's appearance, Zhong Ye had reason to suspect that he was about to understand 'qi' by himself - even during the internal testing period, he was not so clumsy when using 'qi', and that At that time, his game role was only five, Level 6.

Even if you don't use [Skills to Get Opportunity], if you don't have that battle, maybe soon, you will be able to comprehend 'Qi' and [Breathing Technique].

But that's all in the past, and it's not interesting to bring it up again...

In the afternoon of this day, the snow finally stopped.

After another night of rest in the city, Zhong Ye and the others packed up and drove away from Bourges.

When they drove out of the city, they also saw a team of several church organizations leave the city and go to the surrounding villages for rescue.

At this time, the earth turned into a vast expanse of white, and wherever I looked, there was enough snow to cover my ankles.

carriage Driving on such roads is both difficult and dangerous.

Even Zhong Ye could always notice that there was something hidden under the snow, maybe a stone, maybe a pit - these things could hurt the horse and damage the carriage.

But Zhong Ye felt that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them.

The heavy snow not only blocked the city, but also restricted the activities of those cultists. Even if someone tipped off those cultists, the cultists would not have time to evacuate.

But what matters are those cultists?

No, what matters is the 'human trafficking interest chain' behind those cultists!

If the speculation of the Bourges business church bishop is correct, and those cultists are indeed running 'human trafficking', and they are still buying them for vampire, then there must be a chain of interests hidden behind this.

It is impossible that vampire has so much money to hire those cultists to help him kidnap humans, so at that time Lily thought that there might be a vampire clan hidden behind this incident.

In the days when they were trapped in the adventurer's house by the heavy snow, they did not idle, check the tasks in the task bar, ask the receptionist, talk to the adventurers, they did all these things, got a lot of information.

For example, shortly after the winter, there was a suspected vampire murder incident in Bourges, but this incident could eventually find the murderer.

After that, although there were no similar incidents in Bourges, the surrounding villages began to report news of vampire encounters one after another.

This also means that vampires do exist in Bourges, but they have been hiding themselves so well that no one knows where they are.

Several churches scoured the Bourges area and couldn't find even a single vampire.

Vampire's 'food intake' is not that large, and they usually only need half a human's blood to support them for a long time. After all, they are undying creatures with almost no metabolism.

And these numerous 'reports' are proof that there may be a vampire clan around Bourges.

The problem is that this only happened this year, and that group of cultists disguised as bandits have been operating in the Bourges area for more than two years.

If that vampire clan only relocated to the Bourges region this year, who were the cultists serving a year ago?

Zhong Ye and the others are now going to find the answers to these questions. If they can find those cultists, all problems can be solved.

"How far is the distance?" Zhong Ye let out a white breath and asked Lilian and the others in the carriage.

The map is with them, and he also needs some communication to distract him, otherwise he will stare at the white land in front of him, and sooner or later he will suffer from snow blindness.

"If it was the previous speed, it would take about half a day, but now..."

Holding one end of the map in her hand, Lily looked towards the window with concern.

The speed of the carriage is like a turtle crawling now, not only because of the snow, but the carriage itself.

The carriages contain their luggage and weapons, and at the same time, their own weight is not light, even the lightest Lilian weighs more than fifty kilograms.

These factors combine to make the carriage move incredibly slowly.

Fortunately, in the world of Dan, it is not only humans who can become stronger through exercise. As long as there is sufficient nutrition, any creature can become stronger - horses are naturally in this category.

Two sturdy draught horses dragged the heavy carriage and went farther and farther eastward.

…………

"...It's probably here."

Lily put away the map and pushed open the car door.

When they arrived at the area where the cultists were active, it was noon on the second day, and it was time to use lunch.

Zhong Ye and the others worked together to sweep away the snow around the carriage, set up a fire and an iron pot, put in the base made by Zhong Ye and cooked it.

Zhong Ye cooked a big pot of soup, the two draught horses shared two bowls, and the rest went into their three people's stomachs.

"Someone is watching."

After lunch, Lily and Lillian, who were cleaning the dishes, heard this inaudible voice, and looked at each other calmly. at a glance.

The movement of the hand did not slow down, how to do it originally, and how to do it now, not even looking for the position of the stalker.

The reason why Zhong Ye reminded them was to keep them from revealing their plans.

He has already locked the stalker's position, and his every move is under his control.

The smoke from the fire can make people find their location. If the bandits are really cultists and they haven't moved away, they will definitely send someone to check the situation.

The guy who will leave the city in the big winter is either strong enough or really in a hurry-even a fool knows that it is only a dead end to leave the city in this weather.

Because they felt being followed, Zhong Ye and the others didn't act immediately after lunch. They took a rest and started exercising.

Their 'workout area' is closer to the woods, so the stalkers are a little further away.

The stalker was fascinated by the way they exercised their fists to the flesh. By the time he realized the time had passed, the sun had already slipped westward.

Although it is not late at Western Mountain, it is already afternoon.

How could the people who were sent to investigate the situation be stupid?

The stalker immediately felt something strange - how could someone exercise for hours in this kind of wilderness? Are they going to spend the night here?

It is unreasonable to think!

The stalker's eyes still fell on Zhong Ye and the others, but his figure slowly stepped back.

"Miss Lily, please stay at the carriage."

Zhong Ye They did not stop, but continued to 'exercise'.

"en. ”

Although I felt a little unwilling, Lily also knew that in order to cooperate with Zhong Ye's plan, she had used up too much physical strength and entered the forest. It might slow down Zhong Ye and Lillian.

If there is a vampire clan behind this matter, it is not something they can easily deal with, it is better to stay behind the carriage, maintain the signs of 'camp activity', confuse the other party's perception, and wait for Zhong Ye and Lily Ann brings the news back.

After the stalker left for a while, Zhong Ye stopped 'exercising' for Lily, brought Moon Moon and Jade Bird, and followed in the footsteps of the stalker.

Lilian follows him, fully armed.

Seeing them disappear into the forest, Lily, who was gasping for breath, walked back to the carriage, took out the light armor placed in the trunk of the carriage, and put it on.

Whether there will be an enemy or not, it's definitely a good idea to prepare first.

——Zhong Ye taught her that!
