Chapter 1134 Half Beast

Forget it, although it was a bit embarrassing to walk back, there seemed to be no other choice. Although it was okay to resurrect something as a mount, Ashu Rufate was worried about meeting an acquaintance halfway through. Fortunately, although the horse was gone, the travel cost increased, and food and accommodation should not be a problem.

"Master, something is following us." Carrie suddenly warned.

Ashrufate stopped. He was not far away from the town now, and there were farmlands with mature rice ears everywhere. If something was hidden in the field, the rice ears would definitely be separated and could be seen at a glance. The road itself had no obstacles and could not hide anyone's.

But Carrie can never go wrong. Ashu Rufate believes this.

Ashu Rufate raised his alertness, but even his vision and hearing far beyond normal humans, he found no suspicious signs.

"Master, that thing is still following us." Carrie warned again.

Ashrufate stopped, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on his ears. There was calmness around, without any suspicious noise... No! On the left, something was walking in the farmland!

Ashrufat opened his eyes and looked at the location of the sound. The rice ears were short and dense, and if there was something hidden in it, even if it was invisible, it could be seen. But there was nothing suspicious in the rice field. His eyes turned to the edge of the rice field. Then he saw the half beast.

The body of the half beast can actually change color. Its body has become the same color as the surrounding environment, hiding itself. If it weren't for sure that something was there, Ashrufate would not have noticed the existence of the half beast.

"What do you want to do?" said Ashu Rufate. "You have caused me enough trouble!"

Half beast slowly walked onto the road from the rice fields. In addition to hair and figure, Half beast is actually not much different from humans. But if you look closely, you can notice that the forelimbs and lower limbs of Half beast are equally powerful. Half beasts can walk upright, but can also run on all fours.

"I asked you to leave, but I didn't expect you to go stealing food everywhere. If you are caught, you will at least return to the cage." Ash Rufate sighed. "I will never help you with the second time."

"Mi...Mi Milu's stomach...is hungry..." Chen Jun replied in a stiff tone.

"Okay, you've stolen enough food, now the trouble you've caused has been resolved, you've left the city, why are you looking for me? Go back quickly, go back wherever you come from!"

Ashu Rufate turned around and left, but the half beast rushed up quickly, which was surprisingly fast. In a flash, the half beast was already blocking the front of Ashu Rufate.

"What do you want to do?" Ashu Rufate was a little surprised.

"You saved... Mimilu...so... Mimilu wants to... repay you..."

"Your name is Mimilu? What a good name. As for repaying me, I don't have anything I need now, except a horse. You won't have a horse, right?"

"Mimilu...know...what is there a lot of horses...there are many horses..."

"Do you talk about the horse market over there? Unfortunately, those horses have owners. In order to help you pay compensation, I can no longer afford to buy horses. If I had known that I should have bought you some food, it would have been much cheaper."

"It's not there, Mimilu knows...there are horses...those horses...those horses...those ones...those ones...whoever catches...those ones..."

"Where is such a good thing?" Ashu Rufate was really moved. He was dressed like a knight while carrying a full body of luggage (these luggage was not much behind the saddle, and it would be very cumbersome to carry it on his back). It was really not suitable to walk. If someone saw this embarrassed look, it would be a lifetime laugh.

"Near Mimilu's hometown..."

Half beasts should live in the Dandeng Mountains. Will there be horses there? But if you think about it carefully, it is possible. Whether it is a horse, a cow, a sheep, or a human-raised domestic animals often escape and run to an uninhabited grassland or forest. From this point of view, it should not be too outrageous for a few horses to run into the mountains. And this Half beast should not deceive itself.

"Is your hometown far away from here?"

"You need to...you need to walk...see...three times...the time when the sun sets. There is a shortcut...just see...one time when the sun sets..."

"Three days? One day shorter? Ah, there is no problem at this time." Ashu Rufate thought for a while. "Okay, you can take me over. Let's take a closer."

...

Ashu Rufate walked quickly between the hills.

This low hill is called the black hill, these are mounds of soil mixed with large rocks. Steep and rugged paths are surrounded by winding. These hills are not high, but the terrain they make up is extremely complex, and some paths are only allowed to pass by goats. These paths are not from human hands, but creatures living between hills, trampled with claws or hooves for thousands of years.

The complex terrain had little effect on Ashu Rufate. He could easily climb over the most steep hillsides or jump off steep rock walls. Mimilu seemed like a fish in water. Her body showed amazing agility and speed under this complex terrain, which could be said to be like walking on flat ground.

"You... are not the speed of an ordinary person..." Mimilu stopped on a big rock on the top of the mountain and licked the back of her hand like a cat. Of course, it might be more appropriate to use the back of her claws. Half the beast had quite sharp claws on its fingers.

"It's just that I'm in good health." Ash Rufat replied casually. Mimilu was amazing in speed. Before entering the mountains, he hid most of his luggage, and now he only carries shields and weapons. But even if he has tried to reduce the weight, Mimilu still has to stop and wait for him frequently.

This is the shortest road. According to Mimilu, it takes half a day to arrive. But it is obvious that Mimilu judged by her own speed of progress. The sun is almost set, and there is still no sight at the end of the Black Hill.

Ashrufate could clearly feel the changes in his body, which made him half scared and half excited. After walking on this kind of terrain that had been killing people for a day, without eating or drinking, he was not tired or hungry at all. This was completely different from the feeling he felt when he walked out of the desert. At that time, he was almost exhausted.

"Master, your strength grows very quickly." In my mind, Carrie explained softly.

If this continues, maybe he has to consider occasionally hiding his excessively strong physical fitness. The next thought suddenly came to his mind, making people shudder.

No, no, his teeth were normal and did not grow longer. Moreover, he had no desire for blood.

You must say something about changes, but the physical strength becomes stronger, the body becomes more agile, and the thirst becomes more dull.

These are all benign changes—especially for a knight who is about to set foot on the battlefield.

He had a little understanding of the terrain nearby - after all, in theory, the Dandeng Mountain Area was his fief, so he finally had to care a little bit.

This mountainous area is surrounded by black hills. Even the flattest part of the "black hill" (they are walking the most steepest and difficult road) is a huge obstacle for ordinary people. Moreover, the black hills are extremely barren and cannot be cultivated or grazed. Influenced by the black hills, the Dandeng Mountain Area has become an area that is completely inappropriate for human habitation.

If a group of immigrants really have to pass through the Black Hills (not considering the difficulty and the inevitable high losses on the road) and move to the mountainous areas, they will be completely isolated from the outside world and will not get any help. Immigration can only rely on themselves. No one knows what the situation of the half beasts in the mountainous areas are, but I think they will not welcome humans.

Mimilu suddenly disappeared. But when Ashu Rufat found her again, she grabbed a rabbit and appeared in front of him.

"This is...rabbit...small...can...eat..." Mimilu handed the rabbit to him.

Ashrufate took out a knife and almost subconsciously peeled off the rabbit's skin and digged out the internal organs. He was not hungry, but his body seemed to be unable to resist a rabbit. He put the clean rabbit aside and then found some dry firewood from all around - there were a lot of dry bushes here.

"No...no...fire...but you can...eat raw..."

Ashrufate grabbed the magic wind that was everywhere in the air and poured a ray of flame on the dead branches. The dead branches were immediately ignited, and the flames rose exaggeratedly half a person high.

Ashrufate used a wooden stick to insert the rabbit and placed it on the fire to grill it. Although he did not carry any seasonings, the aroma of the barbecue quickly spread out. Mimilu swallowed her saliva while she was swallowing.

Ashu Rufat smiled and handed the rabbit in his hand to Mimilu. Although Mimilu's eyes were full of appetite, she did not take it.

"This is for you... to eat... for humans... to eat."

"My name is not human, my name is Ash Rufate. And I am not an ordinary person. I am not hungry now." He could tell. Although Mimilu was walking on the flat ground in the Heichurch, she was already very tired. After all, they had been walking in this ghost place for a whole day.

Mimilu grabbed the rabbit and took a bite. She kept looking up at Ash Rufate's expression while she was eating.

"You... are... good people... very... human..."

"I said, my name is Ashu Rufate." He shrugged. "Can we keep moving forward after eating the rabbit?"

"Humans... cannot... see... things at night..." Mimilu said in surprise.

"I said, I'm not an ordinary person." When I said this, Ash Rufate was actually a little surprised. Because the sun had set at this time, only the sun was left in the sky. It was logical that the light should be dim and the field of vision became narrow. However, the light he could feel was dim, but there was no obstacle when he looked at things. His field of vision was as vast as noon, and things in the distance were visible in the slightest.
