Chapter 59: Peaceful Journey
"This seems to be a skill that is very suitable for a Berserker... It seems that next time I retain my memory and enter the simulation world, I need to try out the Berserker's blood power."
Li Ke clenched his palms and could feel the tremendous power hidden in his body. If he could exercise or practice well, he would be able to utilize this life force to a greater extent.
However, the most urgent task now is to get to that village.
Fearing that too much vitality would have a negative impact on himself, Li Ke did not immediately receive the power he got from the Sword Spirit World. Instead, he leaned casually on the carriage to bask in the sun. The golden sun brought a wonderful feeling, which neither made people feel cool nor hot. Even the breeze was lightly warm.
This feeling is so unusually comfortable that one can't help but want to close their eyes and sleep.
This is because they are now walking on a mountain road. Although it is spring all year round in Ionia, there are still snow-capped mountains in this place. The road they are taking now is the road on the ridge, which allows them to travel to Shangzan relatively easily.
That’s right, there is a mountain range between Preshiden and Shangzan, but fortunately, due to the prosperity of Preshiden, or the gift of ancient wisdom, there is an ancient road forged by the stone singers on this mountain range.
Stone singers are a group of people who sing to stones, or use magic to transform the earth. Of course, most of them just pry stones or slightly change their shapes.
But no matter what, Shangzan still has a road leading to Preshiden, and because of the sea breeze, as well as the cold wind and snow from the top of the mountain, it is like spring all year round here, and the warm wind makes people very comfortable, but not too hot...
Of course, the problem of humidity is unavoidable, but Li Ke and his friends are just passing by, so they just need to enjoy the beauty.
Especially now that the carriage was swaying forward due to the uneven road, this feeling was even more obvious. Li Ke naturally closed his eyes and dozed off.
There won't be too many problems and troubles on the road ahead. In Li Ke's simulation, they didn't encounter any problems on this road.
But along the way, Li Ke discovered some very interesting things: Li Ke and Shen also met many pedestrians along the way. There was clearly a tied-up person, or a Vastaya, on their carriage, but no matter what kind of human being it was, they had no intention of asking.
Sometimes, one or two Vastaya people could be seen occasionally, but although their eyes showed sympathy for Li Ke and his companions in the carriage, they had no intention of rescuing Xia, who was a fellow Vastaya. They just took a few glances and left.
Li Ke, who has lived here for more than ten years, certainly understands why. What will happen if Vastaya, who has no school, has never established a good connection with humans, and does not understand the rules of the human world, enters the human world and wants to get the good things of humans?
Kind and beautiful stories are of course common in Ionia, but fraud and deception are never absent.
Seeing Xia tied up like this and placed in the carriage openly, they would subconsciously think that Xia had committed a crime and was arrested, and was going to be sent to the place where she committed the crime for punishment.
When it was time to eat, Shen took out the beef and patties he had bought earlier, used magic to warm them up, and asked Li Ke.
"What do you plan to do after you arrive at Shangzan? Are you planning to stay there forever?"
He handed the hot pancake and beef to Li Ke. The hot beef and pancake with chopped green onions smelled delicious. Li Ke envied him for this skill. Although his sword could also emit flames, the flames could only burn the meat and could not be used to heat the rice.
But Shen's magic is like carrying a microwave oven with him.
"Almost. My master asked me to wait there for a while... I can't disobey my master's orders. I have no choice."
He took off the small wooden statue that was covered with Xia's saliva, allowing Xia to open her mouth to eat. Li Ke rolled the beef into the pancake with chopped green onions, pinched her smooth face, and stuffed the rolled pancake into Xia's mouth, who was tied up tightly.
After estimating the time, Li Ke thought it was time to give Xia some blood, otherwise her arms and legs would become numb or even necrotic due to being tied up for a long time.
After loosening the rope, Li Ke even untied part of Xia's arms so that she could eat the cake by herself. But Xia did not try to escape because she knew very well that she could not escape now.
Although she has a bad temper, it doesn't mean she is stupid.
Although she didn't understand why Li Ke didn't let her go, kill her, or attack her, since Li Ke was willing to support her, she would let him support her, just don't let herself find the opportunity...
Xia thought so while chewing the delicious beef and burrito.
But Li Ke's leg massage made her blush, and she wanted to hit Li Ke hard. But thinking that doing so would make her tied up tightly again, and she would never be treated like this again, making it more difficult for her to escape, she held back.
Li Ke couldn't help but sigh. Xia's legs were very beautiful. When she put them together, she could easily put down her fist. Both the shape and the curve were perfect.
Especially the black bandage outfit, which makes her look like long boots, black stockings or silk stockings.
But, but.
This beauty is limited to the thighs and calves, and when it comes to the feet...
“…It’s hard to put it into words.”
Looking at the thing in his hand that looked like a beast's foot, or the paw of a large carnivorous mammal, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh.
She had such beautiful legs, but in the end they were just animal feet.
Xia felt his pause, but she didn't say anything, just snorted in disdain. On the other hand, Shen laughed and asked the question.
"You look disappointed?"
Li Ke nodded and rubbed Xia's calves. After making sure her legs wouldn't become disabled due to poor blood circulation, he rewrapped the shadow spider silk.
Of course, this time the binding was lighter and did not tighten into the flesh as before.
"Roughly the same."
Li Ke clapped his hands and poured some mountain spring water from his water bag to wash his hands. Just at this moment, a Vastaya woman with purple-pink hair appeared in their eyes. She was carrying a heavy-looking backpack and holding a child in her hands.
Although this Vastaya woman had a pair of quite obvious animal ears, Li Ke still saw her beautiful feet as she walked - she was wearing straw sandals.
Without thinking too much, Li Ke lowered his voice and quietly expressed his opinion.
"As for me, I have no problem accepting animal ears, but as for feet... well, it takes some mental preparation."
Li Ke lowered his voice because he didn't want to discuss women's issues in front of a child. However, the moment he finished speaking, the child next to the woman with purple-pink hair suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Ke with his angry eyes.
Obviously, he heard it.
"I was misunderstood."
"Ah, indeed."
Shen shook his head, not intending to cause any more trouble, and Li Ke also smiled awkwardly.
But just as they passed by the ragged mother and son, Li Ke heard a name that concerned him, as well as a voice breaking through the air.
"Seti!"
