Journey to Infinity from the Witcher
Chapter 124 Journey to Hell [Big Chapter]
"Huhu..."
The cold north rushes towards us with icy snowflakes.
Four black figures were riding horses and galloping across the vast wilderness of white snow.
The cold wind howled continuously, and the four people galloped wildly.
In this environment, with the cold wind blowing into my ears, it is undoubtedly extremely laborious to speak.
I ran all the way until almost noon.
He stopped next to a lush forest.
Under normal circumstances, as long as they are well fed and drunk, horses with several people can run for almost a day.
But this kind of cold and snowy weather is not suitable.
The snow on the ground freezes the feet and is fine for a short time, but over time, the horse's hooves still can't bear it and need to rest.
In this world, horses are very valuable items.
It is definitely a big deal for ordinary people to have a horse in their home. Taking care of a horse requires more dedication than taking care of a person.
Because there are so many things you can do with a horse.
Although Gordon and Geralt's group were a bit diligent in changing horses.
That's because they earn money quickly and a lot, but if they kill people and set fires, they can earn money quickly or a lot?
"Pa bang..."
The four of them got into the woods and started working together.
It didn't take long for a bright yellow warm fire to burn.
Fortunately, these forests are lush and leafy, and the snow cannot fall in. Only dry thorns and dead branches can be found in the woods.
The four of them sat around the fire and began to eat dry food.
There are only a few types of dry food in this world, and the better one is dried meat.
Beef, mutton, venison, and all kinds of jerky. As for pork, it is not suitable for making jerky because it has too much fat.
All kinds of dried meat are certainly the best dry food.
Generally, the dry food ordered is made of wheat, and the most common one is dry wheat cake, which is the most expensive and cheapest.
Then there are corn tortillas, compressed black bread tortillas, and sometimes multigrain tortillas made from wheat, corn, and brown bread.
In short, vegetarian dry food is hard and hard to swallow.
When Geralt first took Gordon to Forovdo, the dry food he ate was multigrain pancakes.
Of course, since that time, in the past half year, Geralt has never eaten those unpalatable dry biscuits again.
Now that it is winter, there is basically no need to bring water when a few people go out, because the snow can easily turn into water.
The four of them gathered around the fire, eating dried meat and drinking strong wine, and their bodies warmed up easily.
There were four horses tied nearby. After being fed with the fine horse food prepared by the tavern and drinking snow water, the horses also visibly relaxed.
"Normally, the village of Corubel is half a day's journey from the city of Santa Fidels."
"But the road is difficult to walk in this weather. I miscalculated the time. We probably still have about the same amount of time to reach the village of Kolubel..."
Geralt chewed beef jerky and said vaguely.
"Then it will be almost dark when we arrive at Korubel Village..."
"Will there be too little dry food for those three days?"
Gordon tore his hands into the dried mutton and said.
"Well... quite a bit. I'll get something else to eat when I go out to rest at night. It's easy to stay in Kolubel Village for three or four days..."
Geralt thought for a moment, took a sip of wine and said.
"I want to find other things to eat. It's boring to eat dry meat all the time."
“The meat is fresh and delicious...”
"I brought a lot of spices and salt in the package this time, so I don't have to worry about it being tasteless."
Xina answered.
"Well, the bear meat last time was delicious and tender, especially after it was sprinkled with spices."
Geralt nodded and said.
Last time, Gordon specially brought a small bear to eat, and it turned out that Geralt ate the most.
"But that guy is not easy to catch. If he hadn't been caught in a snowstorm last time, he might have run away as soon as he met us."
Gordon smiled when he heard Geralt mention the unforgettable bear meat he had eaten last time.
"I know, but you have to try to find out..."
Geralt nodded and said, it seemed that he would not give up until he got some bear meat this time.
"Fresh venison is also delicious, much better than this dried venison."
At this time, Leia, who had been somewhat silent, suddenly spoke.
"Well, I've heard that I'll see if I can get a deer to try tonight."
Gordon nodded and said, he has eaten a lot of dried venison since he came to this world, but he has not eaten fresh venison yet, so he can get some to try.
Time passes slowly.
The four of them ate and chatted around the fire.
After eating and drinking, taking a short rest, extinguishing the fire, we continued on the road.
The cold wind is biting and the snow is getting heavier and heavier.
The four of them ran wildly through the snowy wilderness until the afternoon, when they saw a village shrouded in gray-black mist in the distance.
The village of Korubel is almost here.
At this time, there was heavy snow in the sky, and the sky was gray.
But looking at the weather, it’s impossible to tell the time.
"Is that there?"
He held the reins with one hand and pulled the cloth covering his face with the other and shouted forward loudly.
As soon as Gordon opened his mouth, hot breath came out of his mouth, and as soon as his voice came out, it was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
"Yes, that's the village of Korubel!"
Geralt, who was in the lead, immediately slowed down and looked at the black village in the distance.
The speed in front slowed down, and Xina and Leia behind them also slowed down quickly.
"It seems that the miasma situation in Korubel Village is more serious than that in Rowes Village!"
Gordon frowned as he looked at the village in the distance shrouded in gray-black mist.
"I'm afraid it is!"
Geralt nodded and took out his pocket watch. After looking at it, he continued: "It is already afternoon, and it will be almost dark in another hour."
"We won't go in today. Let's find a suitable place nearby to spend the night."
Geralt said and immediately raised his eyes and looked around.
Unless absolutely necessary, witchers generally do not carry out tasks at night easily.
Because there are too many variables at night and the danger is too great.
There was no need to talk about this matter, and everyone immediately started looking around.
"Over there, there is a forest over there!"
Soon, Leia pointed to the distance and said.
The other three people immediately looked in the direction Leia pointed, and sure enough they saw a lush green forest in the distance, which was inconspicuous in the wind and snow.
"That's it!"
Geralt squinted his eyes and nodded.
"Let's go..."
With that said, Geralt pulled the reins and immediately prepared to move forward.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
The four people immediately turned around and saw three figures wearing long black robes riding fast towards the direction of the group.
Judging by his body and attire, he is undoubtedly a witcher.
"It should come with the plague directed at Kolubel Village..."
Gordon squinted at the three cavalrymen who were approaching quickly and said.
"It must be the case. The city of Saint Fidels is so big, and there are far more demon hunters than just us."
"But it has nothing to do with us, let's go!"
Geralt said in a deep voice, crossed his legs and immediately ran out.
Gordon and others followed, and the four of them quickly walked away.
Just as the four people on the front left, three tall demon hunter men on the back slowly stopped where the four were standing.
"There are actually people earlier than us!"
Among the three, the tallest and strongest young demon hunter looked at the four Gordons who had gone away and suddenly said.
"What's weird about this? The notice was posted yesterday. It's not surprising that some guys came all night long."
"It's good to receive missions in this season, let alone such a rare plague outbreak. I can make a lot of money this time."
The tall, bald middle-aged man among the three took over.
"We didn't catch up with the plague in Forovdo Town in the south a few months ago. Fortunately, this time we came to Santa Fedels City."
"It's time for us to make a profit this time!"
Among the three, the thin middle-aged man took a long breath and spoke in a deep voice.
"I heard that last time in Forovdo Town, some of my colleagues had a conflict with bounty hunters, and several of them died..."
The young witcher continued to speak.
"I've heard that too, but I heard that the bounty hunter group of bastards died in a village where the plague broke out, and it was later blamed on our colleagues!"
"Those bastards didn't touch us..."
The bald middle-aged man said with a rather unhappy expression.
"There are no bounty hunters here. Let's not talk about that. It will be dark soon. Let's find a place to spend the night."
The thin middle-aged demon hunter shook his head and said.
"Over there, there seems to be a forest over there!"
"But it seems that the four people just now also went to the forest."
"What's there? The forest is so big, how much space can they occupy?"
"Let's go to the forest and find a good place. We'll be staying there for several days..."
"Walk..."
Soon, the three demon hunters followed Gordon and his party, quickly heading towards the forest in the distance.
"Ta da da...ta da da..."
The chaotic sound of horse hooves gradually approached the forest.
Only then did Gordon realize that there was much less snow on the ground here than in other places.
The goose feather snowflakes in the sky have turned into small flowers.
The four of them stood at the edge of the forest and dismounted after a brief look.
Soon, the four of them led the horses into the lush forest.
Not long after, the horses of the three demon hunters stopped as they passed by.
"There are still footsteps on the snow. Those four should have entered through here."
"Then let's go over there!"
The thin middle-aged demon hunter said, and the three of them continued to ride forward.
An hour later, two figures in long black robes passed by and walked quickly forward.
Two hours later, a figure wearing a black robe and dressed as a demon hunter stopped here again, but soon, the demon hunter left here and continued to move forward...
In the dark forest.
There were several towering trees growing in the middle of a clearing surrounded by thorny thorns and weeds.
The fire was dim.
The four Gordons were busy in front of a bright bonfire.
The weeds and thorns were cleared away, and not far from the fire, there was a huge pile of dry wood that was large enough to burn all night.
The four of them were busy for a while and finally stopped and sat around the fire.
"call..."
"It's finally okay. We'll stay here at night for the next few days."
Gordon dug out a palm-sized wine bottle from a package on the side. After taking a sip of strong liquor, he took a long breath and handed the bottle to Geralt, who was sitting next to him.
As his physique grew stronger, Gordon felt that his drinking capacity was increasing at a straight rate of 90 degrees.
"Not in the past few days, if nothing else happens, we will spend the night here before the monsters in Kolubel Village disappear..."
Geralt took the bottle from Gordon, raised his mouth and took a big gulp.
"call..."
Geralt took a long breath of alcohol and saw that Sheena had dug out the dried meat opposite him. He immediately turned to Gordon and said, "Let's go and search inside...see if we can catch anything?"
Hearing what Geralt said, Gordon immediately became interested: "Let's go!"
Just as they were told, Gordon and Geralt immediately picked up the small crossbows hanging on their horses.
The crossbow machine Gordon has always been carried with him, but it is not very useful against monsters. It is a bit slow to reload arrows after shooting one, so it has not been used much.
But to deal with wild beasts, the crossbow comes in handy.
Gordon guessed that the witcher had been carrying this thing all along, and one of its purposes was probably to use it for hunting in the wild.
After a few words of explanation, Gordon and Geralt immediately walked into the depths of the forest with their crossbows.
Two hours later, the two men came back carrying a huge yellow bear that stood nearly three meters tall.
"Wow, can we finish eating such a big guy?"
Leia said in surprise.
"Bang..."
The huge violent bear was thrown next to the fire, causing a splash of plant ash.
"If you can't finish it in one day, eat it for two days. Just eat slowly."
"But with the amount of food we have, this violent bear won't be able to eat for long..."
Gordon laughed, and as he spoke, he and Geralt took out the sharp daggers and began to dismember the violent bear.
"Zizzi...zizi..."
The tender white and pink meat is constantly smelling of meat on the fire.
When the raging bear meat was roasted and half-ripened, Gordon grabbed the salt and spices and began to sprinkle them slowly.
Xina and Leia, who were already full of dried meat, sniffed and licked their lips.
"Zizzizi..."
The translucent oil stains kept dripping from the roasting, and the bonfire became more intense.
"Give..."
Looking at Leia's greedy expression, Gordon casually handed a large piece of grilled half-cooked bear meat to Leia.
"Ah, give it to me? I'm already a little full..."
"Don't be embarrassed, just take it, your saliva is dripping on the ground..."
Gordon smiled and handed over the roasted violent bear meat. Leia only struggled symbolically for a moment, and then accepted it.
Gordon couldn't see Leia's foodie attributes.
"Gorton, where's mine?"
"Is this baked for me?"
Seeing the fragrant roasted bear meat in Leia's hand, Xina immediately asked.
"What about your teacher?"
Gordon was roasting the freshly cut violent bear meat in his hand. He looked up at the almost roasted meat in Geralt's hand and signaled to Sheena.
Xina immediately looked at the teacher to please her.
Geralt was unmoved.
Hina looked at Gordon again: "Is this baked for me?"
"no."
Gordon said slowly and began to sprinkle salt and spices on the bear meat.
"Why are you baking it for Leia and not me?"
Xina asked unwillingly.
"Because Leia is beautiful!"
Leia, who was holding roasted bear meat and preparing to eat it, immediately turned red on her face when she heard these words.
But under the firelight, others couldn't see it at all.
"Gorton, I hate you..."
The greatest harm to a girl is to say she is ugly. Gordon even compared her with Leia, which immediately hit Sheena hard.
"Give..."
Seeing Sheena's frustrated look, Gordon immediately handed over the fragrant bear meat in his hand.
"Hey...thank you Gordon..."
Gordon grinned as he looked at Xina who immediately took over the bear meat and giggled.
Early the next morning.
The four people who had simply had breakfast extinguished the fire, hid the remaining bear meat, sprinkled powder to cover up the smell and repel mosquitoes, and then covered up the open space before leading the horses towards the forest.
Walk outside.
It's still some distance from the village of Kolubel, so horses are needed.
What's more, hiding horses in the forest is just a meal for other beasts, and this is not a place to hide horses.
Half an hour later.
The four of them arrived at the outskirts of Korubel Village.
"That's it. Let's find a place to hide the horse first..."
Geralt said, and the four of them quickly took action.
Fortunately, it is close to the village of Kolubel, which is shrouded in miasma, and there is no snow at all around it.
Even though there were snowflakes in the sky around the forest just now, there was nothing in the sky here.
Not long after, the four of them found a place full of thorns and weeds, hid their horses and packages, and immediately headed for the black village not far away.
Having had experience in Forovdo Town, Gordon and Sheena are obviously very skilled at this.
The three of them drank the "Ogre Physique" potion in advance.
Geralt told Leia a lot of things she should pay attention to.
Although Leia cannot take magic potions, it is not difficult for a powerful sorceress to temporarily strengthen her body and isolate the miasma.
The four people soon appeared at the entrance of Kolubel Village.
The sky is always gray and the miasma is hot and stinging.
The deserted streets were littered with all kinds of things, including clothes, shoes, cat corpses, dog corpses, human corpses... A large number of corpses were rotting, exuding a strong stench.
A shocking amount of black dried blood covered the walls, the ground, and the streets...
The dark wind blew, the wind howled, and clothes, dust, and other debris on the streets were flying all over the sky.
At this moment, the four of them felt like they were in a doomsday hell.
