It was obvious where Louise Reedman was hiding. It was a cave.
And compared to what Xu Shenxing had thought, this cave was much deeper. It would take about five to six minutes to walk out from the inside, and the narrowest part even required one to lean sideways to get through.
As long as there were no Transcendents on the other side and they did not know how to use smoke, it was a relatively easy terrain to defend and hard to attack.
There seemed to be vents inside the cave. Even if charcoal was lit as a source of light and heat, there was no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning or hypoxia shock.
Xu Shenxing walked around the inside of the cave and saw the dried meat of unknown animals hanging on the wall and the toast stacked in a wooden bucket. He also saw the underwear that was obviously not from the same era as the girl's clothes. The latter was immediately put away by Louise with a red face.
"The bread, water, clothes, and fuel were all exchanged with the demons in the Forbidden Realm using the 'Ancient God's Tooth' as a medium. Although those demons seemed to be very easy to talk to and only took some of my magic power."
Louise explained to Xu Shenxing.
Xu Shenxing nodded noncommittally.
It seemed that the reason for the change in the Farmers' Union was indeed because they had made a deal with the girl who did not know the truth. But if that was the case, where did the weapons in their hands come from? The technology tree of this world did not seem to be the type that could produce AK-47s.
In addition to these relatively normal things, there was also a skeleton in the cave.
The skeleton was very short, probably only reaching Xu Shenxing's chest. Rather than saying that it was clothes, it was more like rags.
Two daggers hung on both sides of its pelvis. The daggers were full of gaps and rust, and seemed to be quite old.
Seeing that Xu Shenxing was looking at the skeleton, Louise explained with a slightly proud tone, "She's called Lola. She's the first undead that our family has successfully summoned."
It wasn't that Xu Shenxing hadn't seen skeletons before. In fact, he had even seen Undead Calamities that covered the sky and earth. However, the skeletons in front of him were clearly different from the cannon fodder of the Necromancers that he had seen in the past.
Unlike those low-level skeletons that were as rigid as marionettes, every movement was very natural. When Xu Shenxing first saw it, it even opened its mouth, leaving only its jaws and teeth, and made a gesture that resembled a smile.
After all, in the fantasy world that Xu Shenxing had transmigrated to, only high-level Undead Creatures like the Skeleton Lord and above could move so naturally. Apart from the lack of internal organs, muscles, and skin, there wasn't much of a difference between a skeleton and a living person.
"Wait … She?"
"Yes, Laura is a girl." Louise nodded. "It's said to be the skeleton of one of the heroes who once saved the country, but it's been too long, so there's no way to verify it. Because of this, my grandfather seemed to think that the corpses of people with heroic souls like 'heroes' were more likely to react to necromancy. "
"…"
What was this? A heroic soul?
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but frown.
"But there are traces of heroes whose graves are more heavily guarded. If it's not a royal garden, it's a mass grave of the army. It's difficult to get suitable materials. After several fruitless attempts, my grandfather gave up the practice of stealing heroes' corpses and began to return to normal research."
The girl continued.
"Fortunately, you gave up. It's very dangerous," Xu Shenxing muttered to himself.
"Well, I don't think that's right. For heroes, it's better to let them rest in peace …"
The girl nodded hurriedly.
No, I mean, if you continue to rob tombs, the name of this volume may become 'Grave Robber's Chronicles'. It's very dangerous in terms of copyright.
"Actually, I have another skeleton called Cooper … Well, Cooper should be back soon."
The girl glanced at the light spots on the wall from the vent, confirmed the time, and nodded.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a relatively tall figure to enter the cave from the direction of the entrance.
It was a male skeleton. Even without skin and flesh, it was still much taller than Xu Shenxing. It was estimated that the other party was 1.9 meters or even 2 meters tall when he was alive.
Unlike Rolla, who was quietly sitting in the corner with a skeleton specimen, Cooper was holding a kukri knife stained with blood in his right hand and a small animal similar to a rabbit in his left hand. At this time, the unfortunate prey was constantly dripping blood. Coupled with Cooper's appearance, it gave off a thriller-like atmosphere just by standing there.
"Well done, Cooper!"
Louise seemed to be very happy. "Lord Evil God, do you want to eat roasted rabbit? Or as long as it's flesh and blood, it doesn't matter if it's raw or cooked? "
"Although it doesn't matter if it's raw or cooked, in terms of personal preference, it's better to have it cooked …"
Xu Shenxing replied casually, then glanced at Cooper. "Is that also your ancestral skeleton?"
"No, Cooper, it's a skeleton that I summoned myself …" The girl hesitated, then continued, "The church seems to have issued a bounty for me, and the bounty is not low. Cooper is a bounty hunter. He found my trail and wanted to capture me to collect the bounty, but he was assassinated by Rolla. I tried to use his body as a material to use necromancy, and I didn't expect it to succeed. "
"Oh, I see."
"Lord Evil God's reaction is so cold …" The girl seemed to be a little angry. Perhaps she thought that Xu Shenxing would express some opinions, but found that he was not even interested in this relationship.
"Because human matters are good to me."
Xu Shenxing pretended to be serious.
After all, Louise was just a stranger to him, and with her desire to rebuild her family, she probably would not leave this world.
In that case, there was no need for him to be too familiar with her. It was better to leave after finishing what he wanted to do and helping her fulfill her wish.
It should be known that humans basically had a sentimental side. Regardless of whether it was a person or an object, once they understood it too deeply, they would naturally have feelings. Rather than having feelings and reluctance to part, it would be better to not get familiar with it from the start.
"Are all the so-called Lord Gods so arrogant …" The girl muttered softly.
Xu Shenxing's attention was indeed no longer on Louise.
He turned his head to look at the dark entrance, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that Xu Shenxing's expression was strange, the girl could not help but ask.
"You'd better be prepared," Xu Shenxing narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness. "Your skeleton is being followed."
