Due to the winding and obstructive nature of the forest roads, the carriage could not maintain its top speed throughout the journey, and it was estimated that it would take two hours to reach the "camp".

Gaa~ Gaa~

A familiar cawing of crows came from outside the window.

Thanks to the secret assistance of the Lesser Demon Eye, Han Dong immediately located a large tree with a human face fifty meters away, with a 'crow man' standing at the end of its branches.

It has two large Crow Head, but its lower body is completely human-shaped, and it sits quietly on the branch.

It also has crow wings growing on its back, with a few antennae floating faintly among its feathers.

This crow-man seemed to have no aggressive tendencies, nor did it make any noise to call for its companions. It simply watched quietly as the vast human army passed in front of it.

Then, Abel, as the team leader, began to explain the basics:

"These are the 'Crow People,' which are quite common in the Gayn Forest. Most of them are neutral. As long as you don't disturb them, they won't show any aggressive tendencies."

Two-Headed Crow Person like this are quite rare.

"Two-Headed Crow Person?"

I don't know why.

When Han Dong looked at this crow-man, especially when the two Eye Contact, he vaguely sensed that through the "Lesser Demon Eye" combined with a little bit of Han Dong's own crow-like qualities.

It seems that this has created a 'subtle connection' between himself and the crow people.

Along the way, the convoy also passed through many unique places in the Gayn Forest.

One of the larger lakes in the forest left a deep impression on Han Dong.

In the lake shimmering with iridescent light, 'mermaids' swim.

From a normal aesthetic point of view, it is indeed very beautiful, with a beautiful upper human body and a lower fish tail with fish scales.

There were about twenty of them, playing and frolicking in the lake.

When the mermaids realized that the convoy was deliberately avoiding the lake, the laughing sisters immediately revealed their ferocious faces and swam ashore.

The moment they touched land, their beautiful appearances immediately changed.

Its spine split open, and several long legs for crawling grew out, transforming it into an amphibian that chased after the carriage.

Unfortunately, their speed couldn't match that of the fast-moving carriage, and they could only return to the lake with disappointed expressions, transforming into beautiful mermaids to frolic and play, waiting for the next batch of prey to arrive.

Han Dong posed a question.

"Why... do these lives mutated by the [Otherworldly Demons] undergo 'humanoid' changes instead of transforming into an indescribable aberration?"

Abel explained simply, "The number of people who perished because of the Dark Age is countless... There must be more than a million skeletons buried under this Gayn Forest alone."

The anger, fear, resentment, and other emotions of the deceased have an impact on the surrounding area.

The Wild Monster, while undergoing distortion due to the fog, are also influenced by these wisps of human emotions.

Therefore, some Wild Monster exhibit 'humanoid' changes.

Thank you.

"This time, the Knights' vice-commander will lead the team, traveling covertly... perhaps they can reach the 'camp' without any obstacles."

Not long after Abel uttered those words.

The fog in the forest intensified in a short period of time.

The fog was so thick that it reduced the illumination range of the kerosene lamps hanging on the outside of the carriage to less than five meters.

It was impossible to continue through such thick fog.

parking.

The horse stables are located close to each other.

At the same time, all members of the Behemoth Knight Order converged towards the center, narrowing the defensive line to surround the carriage and ensure the safety of the Knight-Errant inside.

Various wild beasts and mounts emitted low growls. Something dangerous, life, was approaching from within the mist.

Just then, the vulture perched on the roof of the car spoke:

"You youngsters, stay in the carriage. If you encounter any troubles during the journey, our Knight Order will resolve them quickly."

However, you'd better be prepared.

Unexpected situations might arise; perhaps some long-range attacks will penetrate the defenses and reach your carriage.

"Good!"

The most nervous of all was Miss Wenli the Blacksmith.

For a moment, he actually gripped the forging hammer in his backpack tightly in his hand, and the muscle lines on his arm were clearly visible.

Mia took this opportunity to pretend to be very scared and tried to bury her head in Han Dong's shoulder.

"My first demand is that you stop pretending! If you interfere with my operations, I will immediately terminate our 'temporary cooperation'."

"Hate..."

Mia had no choice but to let go.

Otherwise, she might actually be secretly disposed of by Han Dong during the upcoming training camp.

At this moment, Han Dong, who was peering closely through the car window, muttered to himself:

Something's coming!

Emerging from the thick fog was a [skull].

They are quite different from the skeleton soldiers in the general concept.

These skeletons are not just made up of empty bones, and they don't all move by walking... many crawl, wriggle, or even float in mid-air.

In the witch's basic teachings, this kind of ' Bone Reviver ' is called "evil".

The corpses and bones were low-level beings that arose from the long-term influence of 'mist'.

Although they are low-level, their numbers are terrifying.

Every bone has the potential to give rise to a skeletal evil. In the case of the Gayn Forest, which is the burial ground of millions, such evil could easily form a vast army if someone were to lead it.

"What kind of skull is that?"

The joints are connected by a black, viscous substance.

A black Egg Body with a single eye grows inside the body, connected to the skeleton by black filaments, causing the Egg Body to suspend in the center of the skeleton.

There are also two black eyeballs, which are of unknown origin, inserted into the skull's eye sockets, providing night vision.

Besides the ordinary "Skeleton Walker," there is another type of skeleton that floats in mid-air wearing tattered rags, with strange black circular markings on the top of its skull, seemingly capable of casting some kind of spell.

Some don't even have the shape of a skull; their bodies are just a pile of mud, with only a skull embedded in the surface, which can release a strong corrosive substance.

"Hold the line! Kill!"

Vice Commander Hydra gave the order.

All the knights maintained a turtling formation, each taking out their weapons, ready to swiftly kill any skeletons that got close.

Hydra, meanwhile, rode alone on the black python deep into the fog to find the mastermind behind the organization's ambush.

The knights fought effortlessly against these low-level beings... but these skeletal evils were simply impossible to kill completely.

Snap!

Suddenly, a black, viscous Egg Body flew out from the mist.

It passed through the knights who were fighting and stuck to the window of the carriage that Han Dong and the others were riding in.

Buzz~~~!

The Egg Body shattered the thick car window, which was comparable to bulletproof glass, through resonance.

Snap!

The soft Egg Body landed right on the floor of the carriage.

The stench of pollution immediately filled the carriage...

It's a new month! Ah Fei's [monthly tickets] for offerings are getting shorter and shorter lately, and he urgently needs offerings to help them grow. He requests the assistance of all believers.
