Cornfield

Han Dong did not participate in the subsequent team discussion.

I traveled alone to the area where the manor meets the forest.

Previously, Han Dong had given the crow people an order.

Send this message to the Arakkoa around Gayn Forest, and have them spread out as much as possible along the manor's perimeter to monitor the overall situation.

This will allow Han Dong to more steadily control the overall direction of this training camp.

Considering Mia's statement that the "Curse Space" might cover the entire Wheat Field District.

In addition, it was inconvenient to release the two containment subjects in front of the team members... Han Dong planned to take advantage of his relationship with the crow people to obtain a temporary reconnaissance servant.

This can also be considered a preview of how to command these lower-level beings as a 'higher-ranking' individual.

As Han Dong approached the border, he stepped onto the land of the Gayn Forest.

Gaa gaa gaa~~

The crow-man named ' Duoze Crow ' from before immediately flew over.

It actively rested its head against Han Dong's palm, rubbing against him as if it were very comfortable, while simultaneously establishing a connection of consciousness.

"Master, we have completed the task you assigned us."

"If any abnormalities are detected within the manor, I, as the communications crow, will report to you immediately, sir."

"Okay, very good! There's another thing I need your help with."

"The Duoze Crow is ready to die at any time."

"You won't die, but you'll need to serve as my 'bodyguard' for a while, and come with me to a rather dangerous place... Your main task will be to gather intelligence."

"OK!"

Upon hearing Duoze Crow Han Dong needed its close assistance, the raven crow cawed excitedly and flapped its wings incessantly.

"Yes, come with me..."

Han Dong was able to confirm that the "Crow People" were trustworthy.

Pets with the ability to sense scent, see in the dark, and fly can provide very direct assistance during missions.

The crow-man gently flapped its wings and flew low beside Han Dong.

His hands and feet were suspended in the air, keeping pace with Han Dong's walking speed.

The team had gradually gotten used to Han Dong's direct recruitment of a crow-man, except for Wen Li, who couldn't help but sigh.

"Sergeant Kenny... let's go into the barn."

"Yes! I hope your whole team can come back alive."

Kenny pushed open the front door of the barn.

A layer of colorful, foam-like material covers the inside; one must pass through a thin film to enter the actual barn.

The entire team held hands and stepped inside together.

Kenny waited for fifteen minutes before stepping into the barn and keeping an eye on the group of promising new students.

Although he said he didn't care about their safety, Kenny couldn't bear to see anything happen to these young people.

Boom!

He casually closed the barn door, leaving a fierce vulture guarding the top of the barn, preventing any team from approaching.

There was a slight feeling of pressure when passing through the membrane.

In the blink of an eye.

The team was already standing in the central area of the barn.

A small kerosene lamp hanging overhead emitted a faint glow, dimly illuminating the entire barn.

The rice, packaged in squares, was piled up in the corner.

Some of the cattle that used to be raised here are now just skeletons scattered all over the ground.

Although the barn looked somewhat gloomy and the temperature was relatively low, there were no signs of it being burned by a fire.

This indicates that Han Dong and his group have likely entered Curse Space created by the influence of the farm owner and the arrival of the Dark Age.

Essentially, it also belongs to "Overlapping Space".

It bears some resemblance to the House of Cas that Han Dong had previously visited.

This space exists independently of the original world, yet it is closely connected to it.

"Someone's there!!"

Han Dong and Abel both looked at the barn.

However, there was nothing left in the gap.

Just a moment ago, the two of them clearly felt that someone was watching them... and Han Dong even captured a fleeting moment of the scene.

It looked as if a terrifying, Blood Filaments eyeball was pressed against the crevice, spying on the outsider who had intruded.

"Mia... how is the curse going?"

"Everything is normal inside the barn, there isn't even a trace of the curse... I think the barn should be a relatively safe place, the real danger should be outside."

Pushing open the barn door, the Wheat Field District that comes into view has been completely transformed!

The once barren and dilapidated Wheat Field District have been transformed into 'extremely lush' cornfields.

The reason it is described as extremely lush is that, in addition to being dense, the corn stalks reach a height of over three meters.

Without the ability to fly, vision is hardly useful when walking in a cornfield, and one has no idea where danger might come from.

Bringing the Crow People along was the right choice.

Han Dong immediately gave the crow a command to fly into the sky and collect basic information about the entire cornfield.

Hehe~~

Who knows?

Before the crow-man could fly more than five meters high, a series of terrifying straw vines immediately began to entangle it.

Startled, the Duoze Crow immediately turned and flew back to the warehouse.

The straw roots that followed were easily burned away by the Fire Magic released by Demps.

"The scary scarecrow standing in the cornfield spotted me immediately! It scared this little crow to death!"

This Duoze Crow hid behind Han Dong.

"Scarecrows... approximately how many are there? What other information did you gather just now?"

"In the cornfield, there's a scarecrow every ten meters or so... Also! I can see roughly to the east that there seems to be a large farm, and there are some lights coming from the buildings."

"Oh?"

This information is quite important.

There is a high probability that the family who committed suicide due to the curse lived on the farm.

"Well done!"

While praising him, Han Dong also stroked the crow-man.

With that, the objective became clear: to cross the dense cornfield, dodge the terrifying scarecrow, and reach the farm's front yard.

"Alright! Let's proceed according to the Vice Captain's plan."

The group of six bound their arms together with the resilient Spider Silk spun by Mia.

To avoid getting separated due to accidents while crossing the cornfield.

Led by Wen Li, with Han Dong following closely behind, they were responsible for using the Lesser Demon Eye to anticipate dangerous situations.

As for the timid crow people, they also tied their wrists to Han Dong's with Spider Silk, kept flying low, and followed closely behind Han Dong.

Mia brought up the rear of the group, firstly because she was responsible for guiding the overall Spider Silk, and secondly because she knew curses and could minimize the chance of an emergency attack from the rear.

However, Mia puffed out her little mouth the whole time, staring at the scene at the front of the line where Han Dong and Miss Wen Li were chatting intimately, and she was furious.

"Let's go..."

Just as some members of the team stepped out of the "barn" and fully entered the cornfield.

At the same time, several strange and different sounds came from all directions.

It seems that in this cornfield, the danger isn't just the scarecrow, but also other terrifying creatures lurking...
