Chapter 29 In the end

Marien was not a fool. She was angry, but she still knew what to do and what not to do. If she really left like this, then she would be a fool. But Yiming had already spoken and would not want to take care of her, so Marien had to follow them far away and follow the path that Yiming and Mealee swept. Otherwise, a single magician like her would have long been swallowed up by the undead who longed to get the body.

Walking along the riverbed is indeed a good idea.

In just one day, the three of them saw a few pieces of ruins that looked at least like artificial objects, but even the stone brick tower could not withstand the corrosion of the cruel and ruthless storm of time. What they could see in the end were only square bases and foundations, and they couldn't even see what they were supposed to do. And whenever they went, Yi Ming and Mei Yali were looking for something in those dark places, but unfortunately they all returned in vain.

Lita didn't care much. She focused on Marien who followed her and others in the distance. It was obvious that since even Lita could find her, Yiming and Meallie had noticed her existence a long time ago. However, they did not deliberately slow down or speed up, nor did they want to get rid of Marien. This just showed their attitude. Marien's affairs had nothing to do with them. No matter what kind of action she chose, they did not need to pay special attention or attention.

When another turn, Yiming and Mayalie stopped and blocked Lita behind her.

The bones almost covered the ground were shocking. From the collapsed ruins, it was originally a small village by the river. But now it is nothing, leaving only broken bricks and ashes. The stone table covered in dust still had things that could no longer be seen, as if it was sarcastic about the little peace before the disaster came. Of course, these were not a problem, but walking slowly in it, it was hard to say that there was nothing else on the body except bones.

Silver light burst out.

The flying silver snake rushed out in an instant, hovering and dancing toward the slow-moving white bone skeletons. Fortunately, they looked obviously not as difficult as the undead knight I encountered before. Instead, they broke like fragile building blocks, and returned to dust and soil to nothingness. Mealie took back her sword and let out a sigh of relief.

(These are relatively simple.)

"I don't think so."

Yi Ming looked at the scattered bones on the ground. At this moment, they gathered together again as if attracted by magnets, and then reconstructed into the skeleton just now. But unlike just now, these guys had obviously noticed the object of attacking them, and walked towards them with slow and firm steps. It was obvious that the quality of things that could go through hundreds of years of hardship and still be able to move to this day is not very good.

The silver snake threw out again, but this time it didn't just twitch like before. Meiyali shook her wrist, and the chain sword in her hand turned into circles to wrap the bones together. Then her left hand moved slightly and pulled back. As the sword flew back, the bound and friction parts of the bones began to crack and then shatter. This time, they were unable to stand up again.

(I said these are relatively simple.)

Mayali's beautiful two-color pupils were a little proud, while Yi Ming had no choice but to spread his hands and made a surrender gesture.

Then, their faces changed at the same time.

It was not a sign of the appearance of a more powerful monster, but a small figure rushed out of the originally hiding skull as if it was frightened by the battle just now. It fled quickly, but it was not faster than something. It seemed that something transparent ignored the speed that was so fast that it was almost invisible to the eyes, and inserted it into its body and nailed it to the ground.

"Huh……Our food has finally settled."

Yi Ming picked up the body of the rat that fell to death on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

(Don't forget to wash it clean and pay attention to whether there are any germs.)

Although the key points of Meallie's prompt were different, it was obvious that she had no intention of resisting. Instead, Lita, who was watching them, covered her mouth in surprise, stared at the greasy and dirty mouse with fur, feeling as if she was disgusting and was about to vomit.

"Brother Yiming, why don't we... want to eat this?"

"It's better than starving to death, what do you think? It's pretty good to have rats. Mealli and I had eaten scorpions when we were in the desert. Compared to the hard and difficult-to-digestible thing, rat meat is a much better food."

Yi Ming was quite excited and did not notice that there were serious deviations in his comparison object.

"Eat scorpions?!"

Just by hearing this sentence, Lita's face began to turn blue. She couldn't imagine how could she eat that kind of thing?

"But, this..."

(Just wash and peel it, it can be used for barbecue. In this case, this is the only food we can eat.)

Mealie took out her handkerchief and wiped her sword and explained to Lita.

(Now there is no more picky, we can only eat these, if we don’t want to starve to death…)

Lita stopped making a sound. Although she was still very resistant, she still used magic to create a fire as Yi Ming ordered, and summoned several water balls at the same time. Then Yi Ming skillfully peeled the mouse, which was only bigger than his palm, and then took a branch and skewed it on the fire and whispered it. Soon, a smell of barbecue slowly dissipated.

Although she was instinctively resisting, her body was honest. Lita, who had not eaten for a day, soon felt her stomach start to growl. She covered her stomach with a little embarrassedly, but her eyes could not move away from the skewer of grilled mice. Although she knew that it was a mouse, which was a terrible and annoying thing. But under the current situation, she seemed to have no choice. Moreover, she even felt that it seemed a bit... delicious?

"Lita, come on, this is yours."

Yi Ming handed over the grilled rat meat. Lita was stunned for a moment and took it carefully. She looked at the skewers in front of her uneasy and wanted to throw them away. But her body stopped her from doing so. In this case, throwing it away was a very luxurious decision. What's more, the feeling of hunger in her stomach had gradually begun to erode her nerves. In the end, the desire to survive defeated reason. Lita closed her eyes and took a small bite like she was almost giving up.

Then, she began to eat in big mouthfuls.

Soon, the originally small skewers had been half eaten by Lita, and she even felt that nothing was more delicious than this. And when Lita was about to continue eating, Yiming stopped her.

"Save the rest."

Facing Lita's puzzled gaze, Yi Ming shook his head and explained to her.

"What you just ate is all your food today. The remaining half will be left until tomorrow."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Lita was stunned.

What were the ones just now?

But she didn't even feel any sign of filling her stomach!

"If we can catch more... maybe we can still eat enough, but now we have no choice but to endure it."

"…………I see."

Lita wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. Because she suddenly remembered that Yiming and Mayali had only caught this mouse, and at this moment, half of it had already entered her stomach.

"Brother Yiming...Sister Meiyali? Don't you eat it?"

She asked in a low voice, while handing the half skewer in her hand reluctantly.

"We are already used to this kind of life, and it's nothing to not eat occasionally."

Yi obviously looked very indifferent, and Mei Yali turned her umbrella and looked around carefully. Then, her expression moved.

(It seems like there is a castle there, maybe we should go and take a look.)

Following the direction of Mealli's finger, the two of them vaguely saw the shadow of a castle among the mountains. It leaned against the edge of the mountain like a silent giant, and the majestic and ancient figure revealed a little loneliness. Yi Ming frowned and carefully estimated the distance. From their current location, it would take at least two days to reach the castle. Under the current situation, can they last for two days?

Yi Ming frowned. If he could really find some living animals or fungi there, it would be fine. What if the castle was no different from outside, almost in ruins? Where should they go at that time?
