Chapter 186: Forest of Gain
Due to the winding and obstructive nature of the forest roads, the carriage cannot drive at the highest speed for the entire journey, and it is expected to take two hours to reach the "camp".
Gaga Gaga~
A familiar crowing sound came from outside the window.
Thanks to the secret assistance of the Little Demon Eyes, Han Dong was able to locate arge tree with a human face fifty meters away at once, and at the end of its branch stood a ''Raven Man''.
Growing tworger crow heads, the lower half of its body waspletely humanoid, quietly squatting on the branch.
It had raven wings growing on its back, and a few tentacles floating between its feathers.
This drow did not seem to have any inclination to attack, nor did it make any cries to call for itspanions, just quietly watching the vast human forces pass before it.
It was, and Abel, as captain, began to science.
"These belong to the moremon "drow" in the Gayne Forest, and are mostly neutral. As long as you don''t actively disturb them, they won''t have any tendency to attack.
Two-headed ravens like this are still rtively rare."
"A two-headed Raven Man?"
Somehow.
When Han Dong looked at the raven, especially when the two were looking at each other, he had a vague feeling that through the ''Little Devil''s Eye'' coupled with Han Dong''s own lesser raven trait.
It seemed that there was ayer of ''subtle connection'' between himself and the raven.
Along the way, the convoy also traversed many strange ces in the Forest of Gaine.
One of thergerkes in the forest left a deeper impression on Han Dong.
In theke that was flooded with colorful light and shadow, there were ''mermaids'' swimming around.
ording to normal aesthetics, it was indeed beautiful, with a beautiful upper half of its body, with a scaly lower half of its tail.
The number was around twenty or so, frolicking around in theke.
These mermaids, on discovering that the convoy had deliberately bypassed theke, immediately showed their grim faces among theughing sisters, and swam ashore.
It was also the moment they touchednd that their original beautiful skins immediately changed.
Their spines cracked, and they grew several long legs for crawling, transforming into a kind of amphibious animal that came after them towards the carriage.
Unfortunately, their speed could not match that of the high-speed moving carriage, and they could only show a disappointed expression as they returned to theke and frolicked around as beautiful mermaids, waiting for the next batch of prey to arrive.
Han Dong threw out a question.
"Why, these beings that have mutated due to the influence of the [Exotic Demon] have undergone ''anthropomorphic'' changes, instead of transforming into an indescribable aberration?"
Abel exined simply, "The number of humans who perished due to theing of the Dark Age is too many to count, there should be over a million skeletons buried under the forest of Gaines alone.
The emotions of the deceased, such as anger, fear, and resentment, have an impact on this area.
The [Wild Monsters] are also affected by this strand of human emotions as they are deformed by the fog.
That''s why some of the wild monsters undergo ''anthropomorphic'' changes."
"Many thanks."
"This time, the Deputy Leader of the Knights will lead the team to move forward stealthily and we might be able to reach the "camp" all the way without any obstacles."
It wasn''t long after Abel said those words.
The fog between the forests increased in a short period of time.
The fog was so thick that it actually suppressed the illumination range of the kerosenemp hanging on the outside of the carriage to within five meters.
It was no longer possible to move on in this dense fog.
Stopped.
The horse workshops were close to each other.
At the same time, all the members of the Behemoth Knights closed in on the center, narrowing the defensive line to surround the carriage and encircle the safety of the trainee knights inside the carriage.
The various beast mounts are constantly making low growls. Some dangerous life was approaching between the mists.
At that moment, the vulture standing on the roof of the carriage spoke.
"You juniors stay in the carriage, and any trouble you encounter on the way will be quickly resolved by our Order.
However, you had better be prepared.
Something unexpected might happen, and perhaps some long-range attacks will directly prate the defenses and attack thepartment you are in."
"Okay!"
The one who was the most nervous was the cksmith, Miss Wendy.
At one time, she actually squeezed the forge in her backpack with a hammer to death, and the muscle lines on her arms were clearly visible.
Mia, on the other hand, took this opportunity to act like she was scared and tried to bury her head into Han Dong''s shoulder.
"Demand point one, stop acting like that! Should it interfere with my operations, I will immediately terminate our ''temporary partnership''."
"Nasty, "
Mia could only let go of her hand.
If not, there was a real possibility that she would be secretly disposed of by Han Dong during the next training session.
At that moment, Han Dong, who was glued to the side of the car window observing carefully, muttered.
"Something''sing!"
The one who emerged from the fog was a skeleton!
It was very different from the skeleton soldiers in the general concept.
These skeletons were not only made up of empty skeletons, but also, their mode of movement was all on foot, and many of them were crawling, writhing and even floating in mid-air.
Witch''s basic teaching called such ''white bones reanimators'' as [Evil Filth].
Dead white bones derived from a low-rank existence due to being affected by the ''fog'' for a long time.
Although they were low-ranked, they were terrifyingly numerous.
Every single white bone had the potential to derive a skeleton Evil Filth, and in the case of the Gain Forest, which had millions and millions of people buried in it, such an Evil Filth waspletely capable of forming a vast army as long as someone was inmand.
"What kind of ghost skeleton is this?"
The joints are connected by a ck sticky substance.
A ck ovoid with a single eye grows inside the body and is attached to the skeleton by a ck fment, causing the ovoid to hang in the center of the skeleton.
There are also two ck eyeballs that are somehow formed and stuffed into the eye sockets of the skeletons, providing night vision.
In addition to the ordinary "skeleton walkers", there are also skeletons that float in mid-air in rags, with odd ck circles imprinted on the top of their skulls, as if they can cast some sort of spell.
There were also some that did not have the shape of a skeleton at all, whose body was aplete puddle of mud, with only a skull set into the surface that could release a strong corrosive substance.
"Hold the line, kill!"
Deputy Head from the Hydra gave the order.
All the knights remained in a tortoise formation, each taking out their weapons to quickly y the skeletons once they approached.
Hydra, on the other hand, rode alone like a ck python, delving into the mist and searching for the mastermind behind organizing this ambush.
Facing these low-level existences, the knights fought effortlessly, it was just that these skeletal filths simply couldn''t be killed.
Snap!
A ck sticky ovoid suddenly flew out between the mists.
It passed through the knights who were fighting and stuck right to the window of the carriage that Han Dong and the others were riding in.
Buzz~~~!
The ova shatter through resonance, shattering thick windowsparable to bulletproof ss.
Snap!
The soft spawnnded right on the floor of the carriage.
The scent of contamination immediately spread through thepartment.
