"The Voodoo Queen tastes really strong."
Early the next morning, after a fierce battle most of the night last night and having no energy to do anything else, Robb woke up and opened the updated Book of Containment and commented.
Although the rest period was short, his 1.5 physique allowed him to recover quickly.
After quickly reading the information about the new guests in the Book of Containment, an invigorated Robb turned the page to his own.
In the [Containment Point] row, it has changed from the initial 0 to 50.
Plus the 10 points I spent on my body again last night.
Bastian the Minotaur brought him a total of 60 containment points.
It is much less than the 100 points of the golden arm Heather before.
Looking away from the 50 containment points that had not yet been allocated, Robb looked at the [Ability] column again.
Among them, in addition to [Idea Control], [Strength] and [Psychic Control] are newly added for one's awakening.
[Strong] is one of Bastian's abilities. Awakening has a passive attribute and can increase his physical strength by 0.5.
It seems good, but you have to know that awakening the second ability now costs 80 containment points.
Robb discovered that the containment points it took to awaken his abilities did not depend on the strength of his abilities, but on the number of abilities.
It costs you 50 points to awaken the first ability, 80 points for the second, and more for the third and fourth.
This makes me more cautious in choosing abilities in the future.
An ability like [Strength] that only requires 50 points to increase physical strength by 0.5, but ends up costing 80 points to achieve the same effect is naturally useless to Robb.
Bastian also has another ability, [Suture].
No matter how serious the injury is, you can quickly recover after simple or even rough wound suturing.
It's just that like Heather's evil spirit ability, this ability only works on Stitches.
Robb couldn't learn.
But Madison gave him surprises again and again.
After the interaction between body and mind last night, Madison's newly awakened [Psychic Control] also came to his awakening menu.
Plus [thought control], [fire control] and various abilities that will be mastered in the future.
It can be said that Madison supported himself single-handedly.
Not only the quantity is guaranteed, the quality is also much higher than [Strong] and the like.
Curling such high-quality wool was definitely the best thing Robb had ever done.
He glanced at the sunken bed beside him, which was still warm, and thought that he would need to use his body and mind to reward the other person.
Putting away the Book of Containment, Robb was not in a hurry to add more points.
With more abilities and more points to spend, he needs to think carefully about what to choose next.
In addition, sometimes more abilities are not better, especially when one's own spirituality is low.
Just like [Control Flame], although he can summon a ball of flame now, it is far less than Fiona's original ability to cover the body of the female corpse, and the flame's duration is also very short.
The two basic attributes of [Spirituality] and [Physical Body] cannot be ignored.
Let’s think about how to allocate it specifically.
Well, a situation like the one forced yesterday cannot happen again.
Of course, if you encounter an unexpected situation, it is also a good choice to allocate points based on actual conditions.
"Dear Robb! It's time to go!"
"I can't wait to see the alligators."
"Delphi! Are my snacks ready?"
At this time, the girls' joyful voices sounded outside the door.
Robb, who remembered that he had activities today, replied:
"immediately!"
After saying that, he set off quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, Robb, who had packed everything, drove the girls in his Chevrolet to a nearby swamp for a vacation.
In front of the second floor window, after watching the car go away, Fiona looked back at the cow head on the table, and said with a smile:
"It's time to return the favor to an old friend."
Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Departing from the Swamp
As one of New Orleans' famous attractions, swamp wetlands are mostly distributed around it.
People who come to travel can follow companies that provide tour services, take special boats, explore in the swamp, and come into contact with a variety of natural scenery and wild animals such as crocodiles, seabirds, water snakes, turtles, eagles, etc.
Of course, you can also travel by car.
Robb and his party, who didn't want to be crowded with many people, chose the latter option.
It's just that they seem to have overestimated their abilities.
"Does anyone know where we are now?" Robb, who was driving, looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road and asked his companions.
"This sentence really shouldn't be said by a driver leading the way." Madison sneered.
She turned on her phone, looked at the signal on the screen and curled her lips: "No signal. By the way, Robb, which no-man's land did you take us to?"
"No man's land? Aren't we going to Lafitte National Park?" Queenie, who was eating snacks, said in hindsight.
Robb explained: "I saw that there was a path in the navigation that could reach the destination faster, so I drove in here. It turns out that sometimes you can't trust the navigation. Now it has killed itself."
"Let me take a look at the map." Seeing this, Zoe took out the prepared paper map and started searching on it.
Robb also stopped the car at this time, put his head in front of the map, and marked his previous driving directions on it.
Soon, Zoe said in confusion: “The current road does not seem to be marked on the map.”
"It's normal." Queenie said without surprise, "The new map is like this. Many remote roads will not be drawn. If you replace it with an old map from decades ago, it will definitely be more detailed. No one in my hometown has ever been stupid. Stupidly buy a new map.”
"I learned it. There are many powder trading locations hidden in the old map." Madison nodded thoughtfully.
Queenie, who immediately understood the meaning of Madison's words, turned dark, even though she was extremely dark herself: "Shet! Can't you just stay quietly for half an hour?"
Madison twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a bright smile: "I have always been very quiet. Isn't this just inspired by your revelation?"
Watching this scene, Zoe, who was sitting in the front row, slapped her forehead helplessly, stuffed the map into Robb's hand, walked out of the car directly, came to Madison's side, opened the door and said:
"Let's change places."
She didn't want to endure the confrontation between the two of them.
"no problem."
Madison immediately made an "OK" gesture, stepped out from under her denim shorts with her two straight long white legs, and sat in Zoe's original position in a few moments.
Looking at Robb beside her, she blinked, took the map and said casually: "Keep driving, Robb. Seeing as there are no weeds growing on this road, there must be cars passing by frequently. Drive on. You will always meet people when you go down.”
"You finally made a good suggestion."
Robb nodded to Madison, then looked at the back seat. After seeing that Zoe had already sat down, he continued to drive forward.
A quarter of an hour later.
A rusty road sign appeared on the side of the road.
"Fort Collins? What is this place? Does anyone know it?" Robb asked everyone, looking at the words on the street sign.
Needless to say, Zoe, like herself, has only been here for a few days, so she naturally won’t know clearly.
Queenie shook her head and said don't ask yourself such geographical questions.
Madison spoke up and said: "I know someone named Collins. Susan Collins, the author of the Hunger Games novels. I also participated in the selection of the heroine of the movie adapted from her novels. Maybe she has something to do with this place?"
At the end of the sentence, Madison smiled playfully.
Saying it means saying it in vain.
As expected, Robb, who couldn't count on anything, rolled his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated forward.
No matter what Fort Collins looks like, if the street signs are here, it won't be long before there are traces of human activity.
Zoe was very interested in what Madison just said.
Just like an ordinary girl, she was very curious about Hollywood and asked: "Choosing a movie heroine? What is that like?"
Madison shrugged: "What else can I do? Put on beautiful clothes, show off your appearance in front of a bunch of old men, and call it a test of your acting skills."
Zoe asked plainly: “Isn’t it said that acting skills are very important?”
Madison smiled: "My dear, if you go to any training class in Los Angeles, you can catch a lot of people whose acting skills are not inferior to those of Oscar winners. Casting depends on acting skills. This is the biggest joke in Hollywood."
"So that's why your acting skills are poor." Queenie interrupted abruptly.
Madison turned around, deliberately looked at Queenie, and said with a perfect smile: "In Hollywood, a beautiful face is indeed more important than acting skills."
"But you still weren't chosen, and you're already dead now." Queenie said the truth.
Madison, who has long been accustomed to "outdated" remarks, simply spread his hands and said: "There is no way, who makes me unwilling to serve those old guys and do a few things."
"My agent is more anxious than me. He does homework for me all day long. He wants to join me in a mixed game for the old guys."
As an old Si Ji, Madison does not shy away from things between men and women, but this must be done under the premise that she is happy both physically and mentally.
"So, the death of your agent..." Zoe said with a look of disillusionment.
Madison gave her a look of understanding.
"Okay, beauties, the topic of Hollywood is over now, let's go to the gas station."
Robb interrupted the girls' conversation at this point.
Parking the car in the open space next to the gas station, the four of them got out of the car. Madison, who had just put on his sun hat and sunglasses, frowned and looked at the old store that seemed to be a dilapidated building.
"This place is really shabby. I suspect there are spider webs everywhere and mice running around. You go ahead, I'll wait for you here." She stopped walking.
Robb waved his hand, led Zoe and Queenie past the wooden sign with "No Gas", pushed the door open and entered the store.
"Welcome. There is no gasoline, the refrigerator is useless, and there is no refrigeration." The friendly-looking bald boss, who seemed to be in his fifties, greeted them.
"Hello, are there any maps for sale here? We lost our way. We were going to..." Robb walked over and communicated with the boss.
The latter was very enthusiastic. He not only took out the map, but also pointed out the location and said: "You are really far away. The road here is very difficult. If you turn back, you will probably have to drive for a long time."
While the two were talking, Queenie came to the shelves to pick out food.
Zoe wandered around the store casually.
Until she saw a huge humanoid statue of a crocodile holding a scythe.
Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Swamp Thing
"What's this?"
Zoe looked at the humanoid crocodile in front of her curiously and was about to touch it with her hand.
The sudden sound behind her startled her.
"Be careful and don't touch it if you don't want to get eaten by the Crocodile Man."
Zoe quickly turned her head, and a thin old man smiled sinisterly at her.
Zoe, who only thought the other person was deliberately scaring her, was also good-tempered, but frowned slightly and asked: "Crocodile man? What is that? Like the legendary Bigfoot?"
"Bigfoot? It's just a bunch of savages playing tricks." The old man said coldly, "The crocodile man is the real owner of this swamp. All crocodiles, including the dead ones, are his eyes and ears. Once you touch this If you wear crocodile skin, you will be sensed by the crocodile people. You know, it likes to eat the flesh and blood of young people."
"I've heard stories like this from my grandfather too many times. It's just that the crocodile head was replaced by a pig's head, a rabbit's head, a sheep's head, etc."
Queenie, who came to him without knowing what was going on, said nonchalantly and even touched the real crocodile skin on the human-shaped crocodile statue.
"I touched it. Where's the crocodile man? I'd love to see it."
