Chapter 83: Grave

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After listening to the tall girl’s suggestion, Zhou Chen and her dragged a few wolf corpses that looked edible into a forest a kilometer away. He chopped a tree with the ax and built a fire to cook the wolf meat, making sure that the wolf meat was completely cooked to reduce the risk of being infected by parasites.

There was quite a lot of wolf meat. After the meal, the tall girl used a dagger to cut off some good parts of meat and roast them. Then, she pierced them with tree branches for consumption for the next few days.

They set off again. As Survivors, they had more energy than ordinary people. Since they could not find a suitable place to rest in this area, they might as well continue walking under the moonlight.

The two of them walked under the unfamiliar night sky while carrying the roasted wolf meat in their hands. They continued south.

About four hours later, a crevasse appeared in front of them. This crevasse was more than twenty meters deep and six meters wide. There was the sound of rapid water flow from the depths of the crevasse.

“There’s water below.”

Zhou Chen looked at the flowing water and confirmed that there was no hidden danger there with his perception. The water looked quite clear too. He immediately took out the coke bottle from his inventory and prepared to go down to get water.

“You have a bottle, right? Do you want me to fill it?”

The tall girl gave him a mineral water bottle. Then, Zhou Chen threw the roasted wolf meat in his hand to the snow on the other side of the crevasse. He put two bottles in his pocket and jumped down.

In the air, he activated the Windrun skill and leaned against the wall. Just as he was about to touch the water surface, he stabbed his spear into the wall and stabilized himself. Then, he bent down to fill the bottles with water and activated the Windrun skill again, pulling out the spear and running back to the top of the crevasse.

“Why do you have so many skills?”

After returning to the land, the tall girl took the mineral water bottle and took a sip. She couldn’t help but ask.

“My luck is quite good.”

Zhou Chen replied lightly. He drank a few mouthfuls of water from the coke bottle and jumped over the crevasse to pick up the wolf meat skewers.

The tall girl did not comment on his answer. She also jumped over, and they continued moving south.

Dawn arrived. Along the way, they did not find a suitable place to rest, so they continued moving. If they got hungry, they ate the wolf meat, and if they got thirsty, they ate the frozen water in the bottle.

After continuing like this for most of the day, they realized that the snow seemed to have thinned slightly, and the trees and vegetation gradually increased.

By the time they finished eating the last of the wolf meat skewers, they found an artificial building ahead. Unfortunately, the type of building was not ideal, because it looked like a lump-shaped grave.

“That grave doesn’t seem to have been affected by the earthquake. We should have walked out of the core area of the earthquake.”

Zhou Chen looked at the grave in the distance and said to the tall girl.

“Something is moving in that grave.”

The girl did not reply. Instead, she frowned and said vigilantly.

“There’s something moving inside?”

Zhou Chen was more than a hundred meters away from the bulging grave, so he could not sense the situation there. The girl’s words surprised him.

However, the tall girl was the first to discover the fire-breathing wyvern. It was worth trusting her senses. She most likely had some perception or probing talent.

“It could be a zombie or a rat.”

Zhou Chen replied.

The two of them continued towards the bulging grave and quickly approached it, entering a range of 100 meters.

Zhou Chen immediately sensed the situation inside through the passive skill, Bloodthirst. He realized that there was flowing blood inside. From the looks of it, it was two living people. However, the volume and flow of the blood in these two living people were a little slow, making him feel a little strange.

He walked closer to the bulging grave and realized that there was a wooden door on the other side of the grave.

“Could this actually be a house?”

Zhou Chen immediately thought.

The tall girl seemed to have a similar thought. She slowly walked forward and knocked on the wooden door with the scabbard.

“Who is it…”

Not long after, a slightly hoarse man’s voice sounded from the grave. Then, footsteps approached the door and the door was opened.

The sun had not set yet. Under the light of the setting sun, Zhou Chen and the tall girl saw a pale face appear behind the wooden door. The man looked to be middle-aged, but his back was a little bent, looking sickly.

“Who are you?”

The man asked Zhou Chen and the tall girl, his pale face seemed to be a little displeased.

“Sir, we are tourists from afar. We wanted to ask you if there are any villages or towns around here.”

Zhou Chen immediately replied in the local language. The reason why they knocked on the door of this strange building was only to ask for directions.

“Hehe.”

The pale-faced, slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man laughed hoarsely when he heard Zhou Chen’s words.

“So you’re asking for directions. I didn’t expect someone would ask me for directions. Cross the mountain over there and another one after that, and you will soon see a village.”

The middle-aged man raised his pale fingers and pointed the way before closing the door.

“Thank you.”

Zhou Chen immediately thanked him and turned to walk in the direction he pointed. The tall girl followed.

“I feel that there’s something strange about that person.”

The girl walked to Zhou Chen’s side and said in Dragon Country language.

“Do you need to feel it? He doesn’t look normal no matter how you look at him.”

Zhou Chen curled his lips.

The two of them continued for more than ten steps. Suddenly, Zhou Chen felt an inexplicable rumbling in his head, causing some discomfort. At the same time, the Frost Necklace on his neck began to emit a chill.

The tall girl beside him had clearly encountered the same thing, but her endurance was inferior to Zhou Chen’s. She fell straight to the ground and hugged her head with both hands. Her face was slightly twisted from pain.

“That damned ghost is attacking us.”

Zhou Chen immediately realized that the person in the grave had launched some kind of attack at them. He immediately took out the steel ironwood spear and charged over.

Zhou Chen rushed to the wooden door of the grave and kicked it open. He saw a pale-faced black-robed young man holding a scroll in his hand.. He was surprised when he saw Zhou Chen, and moved behind the middle-aged man and two armed skeletons.
