Although Katie worked hard, she wasn't good with words and Boss Che was determined. Even if Katie offered double the reward, he still wasn't willing. The others were also unwilling.
In fact, it wasn't that Fangzheng couldn't understand Boss Che's thoughts. They were very clear about their position. If this was a game, then they would be killed by the BOSS to show off their strength and give the protagonist an excuse to fight. Obviously, Boss Che also understood this point.
Therefore, even if Katie offered double the reward, they still weren't willing to move forward. In the end, Boss Che even refunded half of Katie's deposit and left with the other three, leaving the pitiful Katie and the carriages behind. Obviously, money was important to them, but they needed to be alive to spend it.
"What do we do now?"
Looking at the carriage and the dazed Katie, Kuang San let out a sigh. She didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"There's no other way, we'll help."
Of course, Fangzheng couldn't just return home, not to mention that he was acquainted with Katie. Although he didn't know how this rich thief lady ended up like this, he couldn't just watch her cry pitifully.
"That's right, we'll help!"
Hu Tao nodded. If it were a mercenary born and raised in this world, perhaps they wouldn't think so much. Most of them worked for money. However, Hu Tao came from modern Earth and was more outgoing and enthusiastic in dealing with people. This was also one of the reasons why she was popular with others.
Fangzheng suggested, Kuang San didn't object, and Hu Tao supported it. Soon, everyone arrived in front of Katie. At this moment, this missy was sitting by the carriage wiping her tears. Seeing Hu Tao and the others approaching, Katie suddenly stood up nervously.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
At this moment, Katie felt bitter in her heart. Boss Che had left, and she couldn't do anything by herself. If the mercenaries also left, then she wouldn't be able to do anything even if she begged for help.
"If you don't mind, how about we help you drive the carriage?"
On the other hand, Hu Tao went straight to the point and spoke her mind.
"Xiao Hong said that we can help, and I think that's a good suggestion. Since we're all on the same path, we should help each other …"
"It's fine, it's fine!"
At this time, Katie was so excited that she was about to cry. She originally thought that there was no way out. She didn't expect that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. She immediately smiled.
"Thank you for your help. When we reach the City of Silver, I will definitely repay you well!"
Now that the decision had been made, what they had to do next was very simple. Although no one here, including Katie, had ever driven a carriage before, they had Fangzheng with them.
She glanced at the horses, and they obediently did not dare to move even without unleashing her [Dragon's Might]. Some of the less courageous ones even almost knelt down.
Following that, Fangzheng gestured for the horses to stand up obediently. One by one, they were even more obedient than before.
"Amazing …"
Seeing this scene, Katie's eyes also lit up. She looked at Fangzheng with admiration, and Fangzheng smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, I'm more familiar with animals. Most animals are obedient. As long as I'm here, these horses will definitely follow us obediently. There won't be any problems."
If the horses could speak, they would definitely raise their heads and protest — Who's closer to whom!?
However, under Fangzheng's [Dragon's Might], the poor horses could only lower their heads and work obediently.
After solving the problem of driving the carriages, the group soon continued on their journey and moved forward.
At first, Katie was still a little worried and looked back from time to time, but when she saw that the horses pulling the carriages were each more obedient than the last, she soon felt relieved.
But as they continued to move forward, Katie soon began to worry again.
Along the way, they encountered several more caravans and travelers, and from them, Fangzheng and Hu Tao received news similar to what they had received from Boss Che before, or even more detailed — there had been three consecutive attacks on the road leading to Gray Whale Port. The goods were not damaged, but the guards and other people of the caravans had suffered heavy casualties. Although Gray Whale Port was also looking for the culprit, there had been no clues so far.
Since they had not caught the culprit, for the sake of caution, the others naturally chose to take a detour.
It had to be said that this was not good news, and Katie's mood became worse and worse.
As mentioned before, banditry was a profession with no future. Generally, elite professionals would not do it unless they were forced to do so or had other hidden reasons. But necromancers were the exception among the exceptions.
And this was also because of the characteristics of necromancers.
Necromancers were somewhat similar to scientists and doctors who studied biochemistry in the real world. Regular scientists and doctors would dissect corpses obtained through legal channels, experiment, and then confirm their research through a series of animal experiments.
However, some of those who took the crooked path, such as 731, would use living people to conduct experiments to detect the fatality rate after infection and how to carry out more efficient human experiments — it was more cruel, but also more effective.
Those fallen necromancers were like the latter. They did not have corpses, so they made their own corpses. They could also experiment with new magic and various potions on living people first. After they died, they could also experiment with transforming them into undead creatures or restraining their souls … In short, for necromancers, a person, whether alive or dead, was the best research material.
To some extent, the purpose of necromancers' robbery was no different from that of bandits and bandits.
The only difference was that the latter sought wealth, while the former sought life.
After passing through the fork in Rockfall Valley, they were the only ones on the entire road. As far as the eye could see, the surrounding forest was unusually gloomy. She did not know if it was an illusion, but Katie always felt that in the depths of the dark forest, there was something spying on them.
Hopefully, it was just an illusion.
Time passed by. Although Katie had been secretly praying in her heart, the sky still turned dark.
"What should we do next?"
Hu Tao, who was sitting on the top of the carriage and patrolling the surroundings, glanced at the surrounding environment and asked.
"Do we continue on our way? Or rest here? "
In the past, this would not be a problem, but now, it was a problem.
"Let's move on."
Fangzheng lit up a magic lamp and hung it on the front of the carriage.
"These horses can still hold on."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, the horses that had been pulling the carriage for the whole day were aggrieved and did not dare to speak. They … Well, what could they say?
They wouldn't understand even if they said anything ….
"Let's let them rest for a while. We'll also have dinner before we set off."
Katy felt her heart ache for the obedient horses as she hurriedly suggested. As for Fangzheng, he didn't have any objections. Meals had to be eaten, and stopping to eat was no different from eating while walking. Hu Tao had no objections either. If she wasn't injured, she would only need 1000ML of fresh blood a week. For the rest of the time, it didn't matter to Hu Tao whether she ate or not.
"Huh?"
But at that moment, Kuang San suddenly turned his head and swept a glance at the forest. At the same time, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Faced with Katie's uneasy question, the two looked at each other. Then, Kuang San smiled and jumped out of the carriage.
"I'll go catch some prey for dinner …. I hope it'll be tastier than the wolves from before."
The next moment, Kuang San's figure flashed and disappeared silently into the dark shadows.
