Kill through American horror, starting from the witches' coven.

"The Voodoo Queen has really strong taste."

The next morning, after fighting most of the night, Robb had no energy to do anything else. He woke up and opened the updated Book of Confinement and commented.

Although the rest time was short, his 1.5 physique allowed him to recover quickly.

After quickly reading the information about the new guest in the Book of Inclusion, Robb, refreshed, turned the page to his own.

In the [Shelter Point] row, it has changed from the initial 0 to 50.

Plus the 10 points consumed in physical exertion last night.

Minotaur Bastian brought him a total of 60 shelter points.

It is much less than the 100 points of Heather with the Golden Arm before.

Robb shifted his gaze from the 50 shelter points that had not yet been assigned and looked at the [Ability] column.

Among them, in addition to [Mind Control], the new ones that can be awakened by oneself include [Strength] and [Mind Control].

[Strong] is one of Bastian's abilities. When awakened, it has a passive attribute that can increase physical strength by 0.5.

It seems good, but you should know that awakening your second ability now costs 80 containment points.

Robb discovered that the containment points spent on awakening his abilities were not based on the strength of his abilities, but on the number of abilities.

It costs 50 points to awaken the first ability, 80 points for the second, and even more for the third and fourth.

This makes me more cautious in choosing abilities in the future.

An ability like [Strength], which only requires 50 points to increase physical strength by 0.5, but requires 80 points to achieve the same effect, is naturally useless to Robb.

Bastian has another ability, [Suture].

No matter how serious the injury is, you can recover quickly after simple or even rough sutures.

Just like Heather's evil spirit ability, this ability only works on Stitches.

Robb can't learn.

Madison gave him surprises time and time again.

After last night's physical and mental interaction, Madison's newly awakened [Mind Control] also came to his own awakening menu.

Plus [Mind Control], [Fire Control] and various other abilities that will be mastered in the future.

It can be said that Madison supported herself on her own.

Not only does it guarantee quantity, but the quality is also much higher than [Strong] and the like.

Stretch such high quality wool was definitely the best thing Robb had ever done.

He glanced at the sunken bed surface which was still warm, and thought that he would need to reward the other person with his body and mind.

Putting away the Book of Shelter, Robb was not in a hurry to add points.

The more abilities he has, the more points he has to spend, so he has to think carefully about what to choose next.

In addition, sometimes more abilities are not necessarily better, especially when one’s own spirituality is low.

Just like [Control Fire], although he can now summon a ball of fire, it is far from covering the entire body of the female corpse like Fiona did in the past, and the flame only exists for a very short time.

The two basic attributes of [spirituality] and [physical strength] must not be ignored.

You should think about how to distribute it specifically first.

Well, situations like what happened yesterday cannot happen again.

Of course, if you encounter an emergency, allocating points based on actual conditions is also a good choice.

"Dear Robb! It's time to go!"

“I can’t wait to see the alligators.”

"Delphi! Is my snack ready?"

At this time, the girls' joyful voices were heard outside the door.

Robb, remembering that he still had activities today, replied:

"immediately!"

Having said that, he set off quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, Robb, with all his belongings ready, drove his Chevrolet and took the girls to the nearby swamp for vacation.

At the second-floor window, after watching the car go away, Fiona looked back at the bull head on the table and said with a smile:

“It’s time to return the favor to an old friend.”

Chapter 34 Chapter Departure to the Swamp

As one of the famous attractions in New Orleans, swamp wetlands are mostly distributed around it.

Visitors can follow tour companies, take special boats, explore the swamp, and come into contact with a variety of natural scenery and wild animals such as crocodiles, seabirds, water snakes, turtles, eagles, etc.

Of course, you can also travel by car.

Robb and his group, who did not want to be with so many people, chose the latter option.

It's just that they seem to overestimate their abilities.

"Does anyone know where we are now?" Robb, who was driving, looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road and asked his companion.

"That's not something a driver should say," Madison sneered.

She turned on her phone and looked at the screen, which showed no signal at all. She curled her lips and said, "No signal. By the way, Robb, where did you take us to?"

"No man's land? Aren't we going to Lafitte National Park?" Queenie, who was eating snacks, said belatedly.

Robb explained: "I saw a side road on the navigation that could get me to my destination faster, so I drove in here. It turns out that sometimes you really can't trust the navigation. Now it has lost itself."

"Let me look at the map." Seeing this, Zoe took out the prepared paper map and started searching on it.

Robb also stopped the car at this time, and put his head in front of the map to point out his previous driving actions on it.

Soon, Zoe said in confusion: "This road now doesn't seem to be marked on the map."

"That's normal." Queenie said without surprise, "New maps are like this. Many remote roads are not drawn. If it were an old map from decades ago, it would definitely be more detailed. No one in my hometown has ever been stupid enough to buy a new map."

"I got it. There are many powder trading locations hidden in the old maps." Madison nodded thoughtfully.

Queenie understood Madison's meaning in an instant and her face darkened, even though she was already very dark. "Shit! Can't you just stay quiet for half an hour?"

Madison curled her lips and smiled brightly, "I have always been very quiet. I just received your revelation and was inspired to speak."

Seeing this scene, Zoe, who was sitting in the front seat, slapped her forehead helplessly, stuffed the map into Robb's hand, got out of the car directly, came to Madison's side, opened the door and said:

"Let's change positions."

She didn't want to endure the confrontation between the two of them all the way.

"no problem."

Madison immediately made an "OK" gesture, stepped out with her two straight white legs under her denim shorts, and sat in Zoe's original seat in a few moments.

Looking at Robb beside her, she blinked, took the map and casually shoved it in her hand, saying, "Keep driving, Robb. There's no weeds growing on this road yet, so there must be cars passing by frequently. You'll definitely meet people if you keep going."

"You finally made a good suggestion."

Robb nodded to Madison, then looked to the back seat, and when he saw Zoe was already seated, he continued driving forward.

A quarter of an hour later.

A rusty road sign came into view.

"Fort Collins? What place is this? Does anyone know where this is?" Looking at the words on the road sign, Robb asked everyone.

Needless to say, Zoe had only been here for a few days like herself, so she naturally didn't know the whole story.

Queenie shook his head, indicating that he should not be asked such geographical questions.

Madison did say, "I do know someone named Collins. Susan Collins, the author of The Hunger Games. I even participated in the selection of the female lead for the movie adapted from her novel. Maybe she has something to do with this place?"

At the end, Madison smiled playfully.

Saying it means saying it in vain.

As expected, Robb rolled his eyes, thinking that he could not be relied upon, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated forward.

No matter what Fort Collins looks like, if the road sign is here, it won't be long before there are signs of human activity.

Zoe was actually very interested in what Madison had just said.

Just like any other girl, she was very curious about Hollywood and asked, "A movie actress audition? What is that like?"

Madison shrugged. "What else can I do? Put on some nice clothes and show off in front of a bunch of old men, calling it a test of my acting skills."

Zoe asked innocently, "Isn't acting important?"

Madison laughed, "Honey, if you go to any training class in Los Angeles, you'll find a lot of people whose acting skills are as good as those of Oscar winners. Casting based on acting skills is the biggest joke in Hollywood."

"So that's why your acting is so bad." Queenie interrupted suddenly.

Madison turned around, deliberately looked at Queenie, and said with a perfect smile: "In Hollywood, a pretty face is indeed more important than acting skills."

"But you were still not selected, and now you are out of date." Queenie said the truth.

Madison, who was already used to the "outdated" words, simply spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. Who made me not want to serve those old guys?"

"My agent is even more anxious than me. He keeps giving me homework all day long. He's eager to join me in a mixed fight against the old guys."

As an experienced driver, Madison does not shy away from matters between men and women, but this must be done on the premise that she is physically and mentally happy.

"So, the death of your agent..." Zoe said with a look of disillusionment.

Madison gave her a look of her own understanding.

"Okay, beauties, we can stop talking about Hollywood now. Let's go to the gas station."

Robb interrupted the girls' conversation at this point.

After parking the car in the open space next to the gas station, the four of them got out. Madison, who had just put on a sun hat and sunglasses, frowned and looked at the old shop that seemed to be a dilapidated building.

"This place is really shabby. I suspect there are spider webs everywhere and rats running around. You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you here." She stopped and said.

Robb waved his hand, and took Zoe and Queenie past the wooden sign that read "No Gasoline", pushed the door open, and entered the store.

"Welcome. There's no gasoline, so the refrigerator is useless and won't cool." The bald boss, who looked to be in his fifties and had a very friendly look, greeted them.

"Hello, are there any maps for sale here? We are lost and were originally planning to go..." Robb walked over and started talking to the boss.

The latter was very enthusiastic. Not only did he take out a map, he also pointed out the location and said, "You guys are really far away. The road here is very difficult to walk on. If you turn back, it will probably take a long time to drive."

While the two were talking, Queenie went to the shelf to pick out food.

Zoe was strolling around the store.

Until she saw a huge statue of a humanoid crocodile holding a sickle.

Chapter 35: Swamp Tales

"what is this?"

Zoe looked at the humanoid crocodile in front of her curiously and was about to touch it with her hand.

A sudden voice behind her startled her.

"Be careful, don't touch it if you don't want to be eaten by the alligator man."

Zoe turned her head quickly and saw a thin old man smiling sinisterly at her.

Zoe thought the other party was just trying to scare her, so she was in a good mood. She just frowned and asked, "Crocodile man? What is that? Like the legendary Bigfoot?"

"Bigfoot? It's just a bunch of savages playing tricks on me." The old man said coldly, "The Crocodile Man is the real master of this swamp. All the crocodiles, including the dead ones, are his eyes and ears. Once you touch this crocodile skin, you will be sensed by the Crocodile Man. You should know that he likes to eat the flesh and blood of young people the most."

"I have heard many stories like this from my grandfather. The only difference is that the crocodile head is replaced by a pig's head, a rabbit's head, a sheep's head, etc."

Queenie, who came over for no apparent reason, spoke nonchalantly, and even touched the real crocodile skin on the human-shaped crocodile statue.

"I touched it. Where is the alligator man? I'd love to see him."
