Chapter 611, Black Bird in the Shadow

Kil came out of Knight Crow's camp with a grimace.

He kept muttering something about hating monster meat in a low voice, making it difficult for others to understand.

Taking off the armor he had worn all day next to his tent, Kil fetched a bucket of water and wiped his equipment with a clean linen cloth.

Bloodfangster had already fallen asleep early due to fatigue and blood loss, and one of the two guards also went back to sleep. They did not set up a tent, but directly spread their bedding on the relatively clean adobe floor. One person slept, and the other

One person serves as a sentry for Knight Crow.

Of course, the purpose of standing sentry is not to protect the knights. There is no need for them to protect the knights. The main purpose is to block and ask people who may come to visit in advance, giving the resting knights a buffer time to get up.

After all, Kil knew that even if he didn't wear knight's steel armor and used knight-specific weapons, he couldn't defeat dozens of people with his bare hands.

He disassembled the armor parts one by one, carefully used a dagger to scrape out the minced meat and blood plasma that had been stuck in the gaps during the battle, and then wiped it repeatedly with linen cloth dipped in water.

After cleaning up one item, he put it aside to dry. The air here is quite dry, so it is easy to dry things, even without a fire.

After the cleaning was completed, Kil dumped the turbid and bloody bucket, then returned to the dreamland in the tent, took out a set of tools for oiling armor and walked out.

Anyway, no one was looking here, so he took it easy.

Dip a small pig-hair brush into anti-rust lubricating animal grease, lightly brush a layer of it on the surface of the armor, and then wipe it carefully with a wrung linen cloth until it can reflect the light from the lamp holder.

The areas where the armor rubs and moves require more grease to be applied, and there is no need to wipe it. Just put the armor together and move it a few times.

When everything was done, Kiel carried the armor into the tent and placed it in the corner of the tent. He tied the tent tightly from the inside, got into the dog skin sleeping bag, and gradually fell asleep.

What he didn't see was an animal wood carving amulet hanging on his chest, showing a weird smile.

"Gah——"

An unknown hoarse cry woke Kil up.

"Hoo, ho, ho, ho."

He felt that his whole body was tight, and he woke up from his sleep quite uncomfortably.

My whole body was dripping with sweat, and it felt like it was crawling out of blood. It was sticky and smelly.

The surroundings were dim, not like the cold underground overnight buildings in the village, but like a dark dense forest on a cloudy day.

"Where is this?"

He was a little confused, and the surroundings were unfamiliar, which made him feel very bad. Maybe something bad was about to happen, or it had already happened.

After swallowing, Kil rubbed his body, trying to get rid of the smelly and sticky feeling on his body.

But only then did he realize that he was only wearing the loose coarse clothes he wore when sleeping. The solid armor that he could rely on was no longer with him, and was clearly placed in the tent when sleeping.

"Where did it go?"

He searched around, but in the gloomy environment, only his dog-skin sleeping bag was beside him.

The long sword for hunting, the cross-water head, and the ax in both hands were not there, even if he put them both in the tent before going to bed, just within reach of his hand.

This time, Kil really panicked.

He shrunk and looked around cautiously.

Surrounded by dense and dark woods, the tall trees looked like dark shadows covering the sky, and there seemed to be more dangerous and dark things hidden in the darkness.

Staring at him.

It's like staring at a delicious dish.

"snort!"

Although Kil's weapons and equipment were not with him, which caused him to panic for a moment, his confidence as a warrior soon returned.

He no longer paid attention to the smelly and sticky feeling on his body, but directly lifted the dog skin sleeping bag at his feet, draped it across his shoulders, knotted it with the open rope of the sleeping bag, and wrapped the warm and thick sleeping bag around his body.

Use it as a simple layer of protection.

He did this subconsciously and didn't even think there was anything strange about it.

Ga————

There was another weird scream that was unpleasant but long and loud. It sounded all around.

Keir alertly tried to find out the source of the strange sound, but found that every shadow around him seemed to be the source of the strange sound.

"Spit." No longer swallowing his spit, Kil spat disdainfully on the ground.

Only then did he notice that the ground where he was standing barefoot was not really the ground as he had thought before, but was instead a large shadow.

"Hey, it's definitely not an ordinary place. It's not the Strange Wind Grassland. It's not even the real world!"

Kil was slightly panicked, but soon realized that no one could kidnap him from the hands of the Crow Knight, who was just around the corner. Just kidding, the Crow Knight could even collapse the entire Kamsi Village, and no one would.

You want to cause trouble for Knight Crow in a place like that.

And he is not a big shot, or a well-connected person who needs to be kidnapped.

An ordinary person, okay, maybe not so ordinary, but no one knows, right?

Thinking of this, Keir hesitated again.

But no matter what happened at this moment, he had to cheer up and take action.

If you hesitate and waste opportunities, you will often lose the initiative in events.

He cautiously approached the surrounding trees and touched them gently with his hand.

The trees looked as black as shadows, but after touching them, they felt very ordinary. Kil let go of his nervousness a little, and immediately used force to tear off a branch as thick as his wrist. When tearing it off, he kept the break at an angle.

The way it looks.

Trying to make the stick in his hand sharper, if not more threatening.

With a piece of wood in his hand, he calmed down and looked around carefully, trying to find a way out.

"You can't let yourself feel pain and then wake up from a weird dream?"

He felt that the surroundings might be a strange dream, so he tentatively whispered: "Ms. Apolifina?"

Unexpectedly, his gentle question caused big changes in the surroundings!

The shadows of the woods suddenly became taller, abstractly rising to an unattainable place, so that the slightly gloomy weather could still be seen, saying goodbye to Keer completely.

At the same time, Kil noticed that the shadow-like woods around him, which were within reach, were also moving away from him in an instant. They seemed to be retreating, but it seemed as if he was moving away from those things.

Obviously his steps didn't move at all.

Kil suppressed his uncontrollable expression, gritted his teeth tightly, and kept twisting his body and neck, paying attention to all the changes around him.

"You are not Ms. Apolifina, are you?"

Keir asked tentatively.

Then he added a sarcastic sentence: "Because the surroundings are pitch black, there is no sense of beauty. There is a sense of mystery, but it is not beautiful enough."

In response to Kiel, there was a loud, strange cry of "Gah——".

"Gah! Are you from Drunken Dreamer?"

A question rang out from above Kiel's head. Kiel immediately reacted and stabbed the wooden stick in his hand into the sky.

"Gah! You hurt me, kid!"

The weird cry sounded again, and the wooden stick in Kil's hand seemed to be much heavier for a moment.

Looking up, Kil discovered a big bird sitting on the top of a wooden stick. It was about the size of half a man, and its whole body was covered in black and gray colors of varying light and shade, just like the shadows around it.

This monster looked like a huge crow or an owl, with a pair of shiny black eyes, looking down at him as it lowered its head.

A black bird's beak with a beautiful arc was opening and closing, spitting out human words and unhappy words.

"ah!"
