Soul echo

Chapter 56 The Body of Hunyuan
The villagers took all their valuables, greeted the caravan, and left the village.

Under the leadership of the village chief and the old Orion, they will pass through the Thracian province and head to a small city called 'Laurel' in the east.

The village is already empty, the food has been taken away by the villagers, and there is nothing left in the village except fresh water.

——Fortunately, the food planted has been harvested, otherwise it might not be so easy to let the villagers leave.

The caravan packed up and set off again shortly after the sun rose.

For ordinary mercenaries and caravan guards, that expedition was just something to brag about, but for caravan leaders, it might mean the change of several trade routes...

If there really is a goblin kingdom in that underground cavity, it will not only affect a few trade routes, but the change of trade routes is only incidental.

Two goblins, one male and one female, can give birth to two or three babies within a year. Even if only two goblins per baby can survive to adulthood, one year is enough to double the number of goblin tribes several times.

Moreover, the goblins hide in the wilderness, and the only things that can restrict them are food and wisdom, so once their number exceeds sixty, the tribe will split.

Being in a dangerous wilderness, there are not enough goblins to be hunted by predators as they are also in the food chain.

This is why goblins have never been able to develop and become a real disaster.

But if the conjecture is true, and there is really a goblin kingdom underground in this area, then the Kingdom of Yitruul may suffer.

I don’t know how wide the underground cavity is, the underground creatures that are different from common sense, the hole that appeared due to the earthquake, the goblin that appeared on the surface and disappeared mysteriously, and I just met it shortly after leaving Serdica a few days ago, but there is no one there. Can find the goblin tribe where it is located - even if there is no tangible evidence to prove the real existence of the 'goblin country', these things all prove the possibility of this horror.

Thinking of this, the caravan leader couldn't help but sigh.

These things should not be accessible to them. Things like the "Goblin Kingdom" should be taken care of by the nobles and the church. What they can do is to report this matter truthfully.

The convoy staggered forward and slowly drove into the primitive mountain forest.

…………

As the team got closer to Skupi, the body temperature gradually increased.

The caravan has left the forest area and entered the grassland.

Coming here, there is no cover from the leaves, and the hot sun shines directly on the body. In addition to making people feel hot, the skin is also aching.

A thin layer of clothing can't prevent the sun from harming the body at all, but if you stay in the shade and don't receive direct sunlight, you will feel cold again.

This eccentric climate, while tormenting, is more painful to the horses that pull carts and carry goods than to humans.

All the draft and draft horses became quite irritable, and if not appeased in time, great disturbances would result.

Fortunately, this is not the first time for the caravan to pass through this trade route. They are merchants operating in this area themselves, and they have already made plans.

"Everyone, be vigilant!"

The captain of the guard trotted around the caravan and said in a loud voice: "There is a group of bandits with particularly tenacious vitality in this area. They are not strong in fighting, but they can run! I have fought against them several times, and every time Can defeat them, but every time they can retreat successfully!
"They are particularly vicious. If you are defeated by them, it means death, so we can only succeed, not fail!"

The hot temperature will dull the brain, especially in this endless grassland, looking around, there is nothing to see except themselves.

The endless mountains in the distance have always been just a misty background. No matter how long they walked, it didn't feel like they were getting close.

The occasional falcon flitting across the sky was the only thing they could see, but that was all.

At first glance, it can make people feel relaxed and happy, but after a long time, only irritability remains.

The grasslands of the Macedonian province were not that big, but for a province, for a small human like them, this grassland could be said to be boundless.

Hearing what the captain of the guard said, the people barely cheered up.

If possible, they even hope to meet those bandits, because it's so boring now.

It is a pity that the heaven did not hear their wishes, and the caravan was able to move forward smoothly.

Because the team is walking on the grassland, it is easy to get lost without reference objects, and the guide needs to come out from time to time to distinguish whether the direction of travel is wrong.

In addition to learning to recognize the direction, the guide also needs to know how to predict the weather. If it is in a large caravan, this job is usually done by hired mage apprentices.

The caravan that Zhong Ye was in was obviously not a big caravan. According to the leader's judgment, there might be heavy rain from tonight to tomorrow.

As the scorching wind blew towards his face, Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on a few small black spots in the distance.

But looking at the sky, the cloudy clouds were "slowly" drifting in with the gentle wind, and the team had to hurry while the cloudy clouds covered the sun. He probably couldn't eat those goats.

Fortunately, he bought some livestock from the villagers of that mountain village before they left. Otherwise, the dry food he carried before would not be enough to fill his stomach.

It looks slow, but it is actually fast.

Overcast clouds soon came over the team, the high temperature lingering between the sky and the earth quickly faded, and a little cold suddenly hit.

The guide came out to take a look, and after confirming that it would not rain, the grooms waved their whips and let the horses run.

Because of the hot sun, they had been restraining the speed of the horses, and they were walking rather than walking.

But now, this kind of cold air is suitable for horses to run. They only need to control their speed within a certain level, so that the goods on their backs and the drawn carriages will not bring pressure to them.

Zhong Ye also let the pack horse under him run. Now he can control the horse skillfully, especially when riding. He can make the horse understand what he wants without using a whip.

Boom!

A thunderclap sounded from the sky, attracting people's attention.

They saw lightning flashing through the clouds, and then thunder sounded again.

The team didn't stop, because the leader of their caravan was very experienced. If he said it wouldn't rain, then it wouldn't rain.

Zhong Ye also heard thunder and saw lightning.

At the moment when the lightning flashed into his pupils, his brain seemed to have captured something, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had not captured anything.

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Ye opened the system panel, and his personal information appeared in front of his eyes. It was not much different from before, except that the [Savvy] BUFF disappeared.

Looking at the panel projected on the retina, Zhong Ye frowned slightly.

Could it be that he got nothing?

At this moment, the characteristic bar rippled.

[Hybrid Body: The 'breathing method' has been integrated into your breathing and has become your muscle memory. So far, the inside and outside are united and integrated. Every breath of yours will promote the operation of 'Qi', even if you are seriously injured Dying, falling into a coma, as long as the breath is not interrupted, the 'Qi' will continue to nourish your body.At the same time, your cells can absorb the extraordinary factor, and the extraordinary factor is no longer a catalyst, but added to the body reaction as energy that can be absorbed by the body]

For fear that Zhong Ye might not understand, the introduction of this [Trait] is extremely clear and detailed.

In the future, his food intake may not continue to increase, and may even decrease, because his body has already begun to absorb elemental energy.

In other words, his body has long been able to absorb the supernatural factor. Every time he uses the [breathing method] to let the supernatural factor participate in internal breathing and drive the breath to circulate in his body, his body will be affected by the supernatural factor.

Because he has been using [breathing method], except when he was asleep, he stopped. Before that, [breathing method] has almost become his instinct - even in sleep, he may have unintentionally activated [breathing method] Nafa], it's just that he doesn't know it.

And these days of eating a lot has accelerated the frequency of supernatural factors participating in the body's reactions. In the end, he successfully integrated the internal and external breathing, making [breathing method] a part of breathing.

Logically speaking, this should take quite a long time. After all, it requires more accumulation than just comprehension alone.

But I succeeded so quickly...

"It is going to rain!"

Zhong Ye frowned and looked up.

Because he had been immersed in the changes in his body before, he didn't notice that the team was gradually slowing down.

Fortunately, he was in the second half of the team, otherwise he might have left the team.

After taking a look at the sky, Zhong Ye followed the team to a place suitable for camping and set up a camp.

Not long after the camp was built, a drop of water fell on the blade of grass and splashed, followed by the sound of "crashing"——

It's raining.

It rained cats and dogs.
