My Magic Has No Attack Power Chapter 41: : Named “Ghouls”
It sounds weird. Xiang En had never seen snow in his past life until he was nearly 30 years old. Whenever he wanted to go to the north to see snow, he would always encounter various things, which made his ideas always fail. .
If you give up your efforts later, there is no need to see the snow.
Now seeing a snow-white world, I can't help myself, and I can't control my curiosity at all.
Andrea expressed understanding and cast a kind look at the child.
Ten minutes later...
The two added two more clothes, put on thick gloves, and walked out of the village with swords.
"What are we going to do today?" Andrea shook the snow on her body, wondering why she had to go into the woods when it was snowing outside.
There is no difference between snow in winter and rain in summer. If you accidentally encounter a blizzard, people may be buried in the snow, which is worse than rain.
Xiang En was holding a wooden spear in his right hand and a wooden barrel in his left hand, walking on the muddy ground with only a little snow falling, staring into the depths of the forest without being careless, and replied, "Just go to the river to have a look. "
Looking at the wooden barrel held by Xiang En's left hand, Andrea raised her brows slightly, her eyes were thoughtful, and she said, "Are you going to catch fish? But the river surface should not be frozen yet..."
"No, I want to see if the water works now."
"Oh."
"If you can catch fish, then drink fish soup today." Xiang En added.
Andrea's eyes lit up. Their water conservation was quite high. For the past seven days, they ate dried meat and bread, and every meal was accurately calculated.
Although those salty dried meats are delicious, you will still feel tired if you eat too much.
If you can drink a bowl of fish soup on such a cold day, it will be a beautiful thing!
Thinking of the possibility of drinking fish soup, Andrea couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly opened the way, hoping to catch a fish or two later, and her dream would come true.
The two walked in the snow and rushed to the small river not far from the village. Compared with the jet-black water before, the water in the river was much cleaner now, and a thin layer of ice formed on the river.
With a light jab with a wooden spear, the ice shatters and floats away with the current.
Andrea stared at the bottom of the river, expecting a fish to stick its head out through the small opening, as she had seen on her own ice lake.
It's a pity that the little fish at the bottom of the river didn't catch her at all. They twitched their tails a few times, and they were far away from them, so they didn't come over at all.
Xiang En looked at the scattered small fish and gave up the absurd idea of catching fish.
When the river was black before, the fish were almost dead, and they recovered a little, but they couldn't just fish out of the water, even though they wouldn't necessarily stay in the village for long.
After taking some thin ice to fill the bucket, Xiang En was about to turn around and went back with a disappointed Andrea.
At this moment, the grass on the opposite side of the river moved, and a huge head emerged.
The head is long and narrow and covered with scales. The inverted triangle shape and golden vertical pupils reveal the same coldness as the temperature. The body slowly leaves the grass and gradually reveals the tough body like a dinosaur. A combination of a Komodo dragon with a triangular head and a tiger.
Xiang En and Andrea couldn't help but stop and looked at the monsters on the other side of the river. One had a solemn expression, and the other had no idea why.
One thing is certain, that monster's fangs are quite intimidating.
Xiang En recognized it. It was a scale-toothed beast that was close to the gold level in adulthood. It was a kind of beast with both defensive and offensive abilities.
It should be here to drink water. Judging from the calm appearance, the river water may already be drinkable!
Xiang En's eyes on the scale-toothed beast are also flashing. It has been a long time since the growth of his and Andrea's strength has slowed down. He happened to come across this beast, should he give it a try?
Glancing at Andrea who was eager to try, he suddenly shook his head and said, "Let's go back..."
As soon as the voice fell, the scale-toothed beast on the other side of the river suddenly turned and looked behind him, then turned and ran quickly downstream along the river bank, attracting the eyes of Xiang En and the two again.
The low roar from the woods came, and three human-shaped black shadows rushed out alternately from the woods on the other side of the river, which surprised both Xiang En and Andrea.
The three ragged humanoid monsters with black plaques and tumors on their hands chased after the scaly tooth beast, seemingly unaware of the distance between them by a river.
Xiang En stared at the three distant monsters with wide eyes and opened his mouth. Although he couldn't believe it, he could already be sure that the three were one of the corpses that ran out of the village entrance.
The three monsters who can no longer be called human beings are hunched, their faces seem to be swollen from beatings, their mouths have become drooping like a beast, and their deep white teeth are as terrifying as a beast.
Under the gaze of the two, the rough long tongue swung in the air and dripped a few drops of mucus, which was extremely disgusting.
Keeping most of their human postures gave them a lot of psychological pressure. Just imagining those black tumors growing on their bodies would give them goosebumps.
"Xiang...Xiang En, are those villagers?" Andrea on the side was also frightened, her face pale, looking at the distant monster, her eyes were full of incredible.
"Obviously..." Xiang En also wanted to say no, but the tattered clothes couldn't help him escape from reality, that is, the monsters that the dead villagers turned into.
Several villagers disappeared in the forest for so long, they didn't see each other when they were hunting and chopping trees, and they finally came back after going around.
Those big mouths that are no longer human-like represent that they have completely turned into inhuman monsters, a brand-new type of monsters that are not as rigid as undead creatures.
Although their movements are very agile and flexible, they are also a little stiff when running in the winter~IndoMTL.com~ The speed is obviously not fast, and they should not be able to catch up with the scale-toothed beast.
"What if those monsters come to attack us?" Andrea asked worriedly, looking at the three distant monsters.
Hearing this, Xiang En thought about it for a while, and answered nonchalantly: "Let's give them a name."
Andrea looked at him in surprise, with a puzzled look, "Huh? Why did you name them?"
"Because we value them, we give them names. With the nicknames, we can systematically recognize them."
"Yeah...Is it?" Andrea, who knew little about this, tilted her head and did not object.
Xiang En began to think of names for those monsters, the first thought was "zombie", but he was rejected by himself.
Zombies are not very magical, this is the world of magic, so we need a more magical name.
After racking his brains for ten seconds, he thought.
"Let's just call them 'ghouls'."
In this world, there is no word for ghoul. The characters used by people here are also phonetic characters. The three words of greed, corpse, and undead are split and combined, and they become a word that has never been in this world. New words that have appeared.
The word Xiangen is automatically translated as "ghoul", and then explained to Andrea.
After Andrea understood this new vocabulary, she was astonished and shuddered at the same time. Unknown words can also make people feel terrified in different environments.
Turn around and look around at the woods behind you, for fear that a ghoul will suddenly run out from behind them.
"Let's go back first, it seems that today is not suitable for going out."
"Well, good."
Resurrected, Xiangen and Andrea returned to the village.
