Xiu also wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately there was not a drop of water left in the water bag. Ike suggested that they take a rest first and then go again at noon. They can recover their strength and it will be safe then.
The two of them agreed with Ike's opinion and began to close their eyes and meditate.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ike ran to fill up the water for the two of them. By the way, he used the teeth of the young thunder snake to increase the thunder attribute of the iron sword. At the same time, he used the most powerful sword at the moment.
Put the sword into the scabbard and take back the rock attribute sword.
What Ike thinks about every moment is how to make himself stronger. The scary thing is that he knows how to be stronger every day.
He also began to look forward to how powerful he would become after joining the branch. He would definitely be much stronger than he is now. He thought stupidly and then returned to his original place.
Because neither Xiu nor Sitel had a space bag, Ike put all these things into his own bag. The bag Fia gave him was originally enough, and space treasures like this also have a certain size.
"It seems that we can still hold two days of collection, so we should be more restrained and save some food. There will still be a day or two before we can reach a place with people." Ike said depressedly. Most of the road in East Mining City was blocked.
The forest road is covered, and after exiting, it is a desolate land, so there is no one along the way.
This is also the reason why Ike chose to keep company with the two of them, it was too lonely.
"Ike, thank you, otherwise I might starve to death." Xiu rested for a while and regained his composure. "My master said, 'From now on, you can control your own destiny' and kicked me out."
, nothing was left for me. Yesterday I was digging for mushrooms, and before I could determine whether they were poisonous, I was entangled by the young thunder snakes. Fortunately, I met Si Tier."
Siti'er's tone softened a little and said: "I don't know how to barbecue!"
Ike and Xiu looked at each other. I'm afraid this beauty can only wield the knife at her waist. It's a pity that she has a perfect figure and delicate face. Ike would rather hope that she is taller now, at least he doesn't have it.
Unreasonable thinking.
Xiu also thinks so, because he also feels that he doesn't have two lives to waste.
When the sun shines into the forest, the three of them have had enough rest.
Xiu has become Ike's follower. He will collect whatever Ike asks him to do. Moreover, Xiu is a very smart person and can quickly identify the names and appearances of these materials. The two of them can collect materials much faster.
Sitel was behind the two of them, keeping a distance of ten steps, holding the end of the scabbard and the handle of the knife in her right hand. If there was an emergency, she would take action quickly.
Facts have proved that Si Tier is a stunning bodyguard. Every time she encounters a ferocious beast, she will end the lives of those animals by swinging out the knife. She has reached the first level of Qi Refining Master, but she just doesn't know martial arts.
With his advantages in martial arts and weapons, Ike can still give her a run for his money, but he just doesn't know why she doesn't have any martial arts skills just by practicing Qi.
On the other hand, the two of them were more interested in Ike. He was obviously a domestic slave, he cut meat like a cook, and he kept collecting materials like a collection team.
Xiu even had a very strange idea, whether Ike was going to take these materials to the branch and bribe those old mentors. However, the more seriously Ike collected the materials, the more practical his idea became.
"I guess your two young ladies must be foodies, otherwise you wouldn't be so good at cooking wild beasts. Tsk tsk, they're all shaved like a skeleton for you." Xiu said to Ike like a chatterbox.
Because the snake meat at noon was quickly digested, Ike took out a large piece of wild boar meat, directly used the collected strange flowers as ingredients, and grilled a very fragrant barbecue. Xiu and Xi Tier were here
Under the care of a cook, my physical strength became stronger.
Xiu was also very happy to follow someone like Ike, and he affectionately called Ike the chef. Sidel just said "thank you" and said that she would do her best to escort Ike and Xiu to the academy.
After the three people finished eating the barbecue, they continued to move forward. As they entered the second half of the forest road, there were two forked roads. One was a main road for ordinary people to take, and the other was a collecting road for mercenaries and medicinal gas masters.
Ike's bag was almost full. He thought that in order to avoid accidents, he would take the high road, but this was opposed by their bodyguards.
"If you follow the main road, you will arrive at a desolate place after dark. There are only desolate grasses and ferocious beasts. It is even more dangerous to sleep there at night. If you take the small road, you can also collect. According to the map, there is a lake where you can bathe.
Something like that, I haven't taken a shower for three days." Si Tier showed her embarrassment for the first time.
But what surprised Ike was that he still exercised so much after not taking a shower for three days, and his body could still exude a light body fragrance. What if he had taken a shower? Ike closed the map and said: "It's up to you!"
"I listened to Ike!" Xiu directly passed the responsibility to Ike.
After the three people agreed, Ike and Xiu continued to clear the way in front, while Sitir watched the changes behind them. The collecting road is indeed very difficult to walk. In order to allow those things to grow normally, this road is like a road sign.
Besides, I made it by stepping on it myself.
Fortunately, none of the three of them had the experience of pampering, so they collected a lot of things, and the speed was much faster than before.
As their pace quickened, the sound of running water gradually became clearer. The forest road disappeared at the source of the stream, and what appeared in front of the three of them was a wide open-pit quarry.
Because the open-pit quarries here only have some low-end iron ore, no one would come all the way here to collect it, which gave Ike a good opportunity.
With iron ore, you can forge weapons by yourself, and there is no need to spend money to buy iron swords. Ike gave the rock attribute sword to Xiu and asked him to dig out the iron ore directly. Sitir originally seemed to be helping, but thinking of them
She had already drank all the water on the way, so she asked Ike for a water bag and went to get water first.
There's still some distance to go to the lake, so get some water to drink on the road.
Xiu found something good as soon as Sitir left. He exclaimed: "Ike! Silver mine! There is actually a silver mine here! This thing can be sold for a lot of money if sold directly! It's a pity that there is only one piece."
"I'm lucky to have one in the open-pit mine! It will be easier to manage with a silver mine!" Ike was also pleasantly surprised to find that this silver mine was very good.
Usually people from the collection team would frown if they met. They would definitely sell silver ore without impurities, not to mention that it is connected with the rock. But Ike had already decided to repair the iron sword with rock properties, so he directly
If you make a silver sword with rock attribute, it will be more powerful.
It's a pity that he hasn't reached the level of Qi Refiner yet, otherwise the gold mine that the old lady secretly gave him could be used to make a golden sword directly.
Thinking about his plan, Ike carefully took off the silver ore and the rocks on it and put them into a bag. After having the silver ore, he was no longer interested in the iron ore, so he hurried to the lake.
By the way, get ready to spend tonight.
After making an agreement with Xiu, they found that Xi Tier was missing. They were so focused on their own things that they forgot about her.
…………
Sitel originally wanted to fetch water, but she forgot to take Ike's map and set off. As a result, she once again successfully proved that she is a road idiot, and she even forgot the road she just walked.
She thought she could find the stream by following the sound of running water, but the deeper she walked, the deeper she went and fell into a swamp. Only then did she realize that she was far away from the open-pit mining area.
"Ike!" Sitel shouted loudly, "Xiu! Can you hear me?"
Although Sitel did not panic as she fell deeper and deeper, she knew that if Ike and the others did not show up, she would be more likely to die. She would have listened to Ike and taken the high road.
Sitil just thought about it regretfully, then closed her eyes, waiting for her body to be slowly swallowed up.
At this moment, a hand full of heat grabbed her hand, and she clearly felt an upward force. Sitel opened her eyes and saw Ike with a worried face. Her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason.
After a moment, she thought it was caused by chest tightness over time.
"Fortunately, I always thought that you were a road fool and could go more eccentrically, otherwise we would never be able to find you again in this life." Ike said with difficulty, and pulled Si Tier up with all his strength.
Unfortunately, she fell in too deep and when she came out, she had no shoes.
Sitel stepped on the rocky road without hesitation and said to Ike: "Let's go! Get to the lake early so that I can take a bath. I must take a bath this time."
"Hello!"
Suddenly Ike picked her up from behind and explained immediately: "I am definitely not taking advantage of you, but I don't want you to hold us back. Maybe you think walking barefoot is strong, but the mining area ahead
They are all made of sharp stones. If you prick your foot, I will not be able to stop your bleeding or prevent your wound from suppurating. Your foot may become useless by then."
"This..." Sitel felt a little embarrassed when Ike said such a beautiful reason.
"Besides, you are the one who is determined to take this path...ah!"
Before Ike could finish his words, Xiu Tier bit him hard on the shoulder. Xiu happened to see this scene.
