Chapter 17

"Thank you, sir." The guard was dizzy.

Field reached out and pulled him up, punched the guard on the shoulder with his fist, and encouraged: "It's not easy to train a suitable soldier. I'm still waiting for you to get rid of slavery and become a real warrior, or even a knight!"

The guard's blood boiled. He had always regarded Field's promise as a pie in the sky or a joke of the nobles. But now, he really felt that Field was a little different from other nobles.

"Charge for Lord Field!"

The people around were also infected by the blood, waving their halberds wildly to harvest the corpses.

Soon, the corpses attracted by the sound were cleared out. Field roughly counted and found that there were more than 70 corpses.

Field took a breath of cool air, but the fishy smell in the air immediately rushed into his trachea, forcing Field to close his mouth quickly, muttering in his heart: "Does the winery need so many people? When the Empire decided to trigger the death fog, why didn't it notify the people in the North to evacuate?"

"Forget it, it's none of my business."

Not thinking about useless questions, Field continued to go deeper into the winery.

After walking for a while, Field found the big room for brewing wine. He imagined that he could find raw materials such as rock sugar and wheat.

But what responded to his unrealistic fantasy was a hideous bat girl's corpse, with her eyes open, from the neck to the groin, violently torn apart, and the internal organs inside disappeared.

"This barley is wasted. It was originally used to make barley wine." Field noticed that something that could still be called "barley" was scattered on the ground. Ten years of time, coupled with corruption, have allowed the barley grains to slowly wriggle. Field marveled at the magic of corruption, "Perhaps corruption is not the devil's curse, but a special radiation."

"Radiation?"

Ashina's brain crashed, and she was cutely thinking about the new words Field said. Suddenly, her face changed: "Be careful, something is approaching quickly!"

The speed was so fast that Field didn't notice the skull logo flashing on the small map.

"Ding!"

The guard standing in front of him changed his expression drastically, and subconsciously looked at the ceiling. In an instant, the shield in his hand suddenly broke into many pieces, and the guard flew backwards with his hands and feet catching. A monster that looked like the licker in Resident Evil appeared in the guard's original position, with only a slender tail and nose, which made people know that it was a mutation of a rat.

The rat monster screamed and waved its claws towards Field.

Field only felt a strong wind coming, and the giant claws kept expanding in front of him.

"Don't even think about it!"

At the critical moment, Ashina controlled the dragon wolf to flash in front of Field, curled up her body and blocked Field tightly.

There was a burst of crackling noises, accompanied by large sparks, and the dragon wolf relied on its scales to resist the claw attack without even a hum. Looking at the giant wolf in front of him, the monster was also confused. He looked at his claws, which were always invincible, but today only brought down two bloody scales.

The dragon wolf raised his hand and slapped the rat monster.

The mountain cat and others immediately seized the opportunity and chopped and chopped with waist knives and halberds, but the rat monster relied on its thick skin and flesh, and only suffered some flesh injuries after being slashed so many times. It swung its slender limbs and swept seven or eight people away like sweeping dust. You have to know that the guards were wearing full armor. Even if the armor was not heavy, the people and armor weighed hundreds of pounds, but they were so easily beaten away.

"You guys retreat! This is beyond the scope of ordinary creatures." Field raised his shield and quickly found a corner to squat. He cursed, "I forgot to bring the crossbow. For this kind of monster with thick skin and flesh, ordinary people can only use crossbow arrows to break through the defense. Let's leave it to Ashina."

The rat monster stood up and tried to catch the guards as a snack.

"I can't let you succeed!" Ashina poured strength into the spear in her hand, and her whole body burst out with momentum.

The powerful impact made the spear break through the body of the rat monster like kraft paper, and then stuck between the bones. If it weren't for the terrain restrictions, Ashina couldn't ride the giant wolf to attack, otherwise this attack would have penetrated the rat monster.

The rat monster screamed in pain and quickly grabbed with both claws.

"Boom!"

The giant wolf slammed into the rat monster's chest like a high-speed train, interrupting its attack and knocking it away, revealing its flaws

This is a third-level corrupted creature. In a narrow terrain, it requires a third-level human with fighting spirit or magic to kill it, or use a city defense crossbow or armor-piercing crossbow.

Fortunately, the Chosen One is much stronger than ordinary people. With the combat power of a first-level Chosen One, Asina is enough to crush it.

"Extreme Cold Killing Spear."

Asina used a divine skill for the first time.

The starlight in her hand gathered, and a long spear condensed, like a tumbling dark blue dragon. Asina poured a lot of divine power, and then used her legs to lead her waist, and her waist to lead her arms, and fiercelyThrow it out. The magic skill bombarded the rat monster, and blood spurted out immediately, and bones and tendons were broken! Large pieces of meat were crushed and stuck to the wall.

"Huh~ Finally solved." Ashina's face was pale, and she looked a little tired as she panted.

The battle ended in a flash, but the risks involved were suffocating.

Field also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you are here, and the last deer steak is for you."

"Long live the lord!" Hearing that there was deer steak to eat, Ashina's tail swung back and forth, and her saliva flowed out uncontrollably. The arrogance during the battle disappeared, but she patted her chest and said generously, "I only need half, the lord has worked hard too."

Field was relieved.

The small map showed that there were only a few monsters left in the big winery, all of which were small skull logos dotted with stars.

To be on the safe side, Field took the wounded out first, gave them medicine, and then took the rested team to clean up the big winery carefully.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that the cleanup work reached the final stage.

The entire winery was in tatters, with landslides everywhere. The wind that came through the cracks in the rocks blew up gray dust. The only thing to be thankful for was that the overall structure of the winery was preserved. Everyone searched the first and second floors, but there was nothing valuable, just some black and broken wood that could be used to build sheds or burn firewood.

"The wine cellar is below, sir." The guard said as he stepped forward, ignoring the thick dust on the cellar door, and used both hands to pull the heavy cellar door open, revealing a dark staircase in front of him.

Field swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands nervously, and kept muttering in his heart: "God bless me, please let me find something useful."

A large number of oak sherry barrels were piled up in the dark cellar, some of which had been crushed and damaged by landslides, and there were dried water stains everywhere, and there were traces of rats crawling.
