Who was the strongest?
The Inhumans were stunned when they heard Kieran's question.
Was he going to choose the strongest representative to talk to?
Or …
Was he going to establish his dominance?
No one knew what Kieran meant by his question, but one of the Inhumans walked out.
The man was tall and handsome, wearing a blue and white long robe. Even though it was stained with blood, it didn't affect his elegant demeanor at all.
In fact, it could even be said that it added a strange demonic charm to him.
The other Inhumans looked at the man, not saying a word to stop or object.
It seemed like the man was the strongest among the Inhumans that stayed behind.
However, Kieran raised a brow as he looked at the man.
Weak!
Too weak!
He was even weaker than Kieran thought!
The Inhuman before him was even weaker than Song Shi.
But even if it was Song Shi …
Kieran shook his head when he thought about the speculations that popped up in his mind.
However, his shake of the head obviously caused the Inhuman to misunderstand him.
"My lord, don't you think I am the strongest among the Inhumans?"
Despite being afraid of Kieran's strength, the Inhuman still asked.
Because this was related to his honor.
Besides, the Inhuman didn't think Kieran would do anything to him.
During the previous battle, Kieran ordered his two monsters to avoid them and the others around them were enough to prove Kieran's identity as a Herder.
It was common knowledge that the Herders and the Inhumans were allies.
From a certain aspect, the Herders had to rely on the Inhumans.
Therefore, when the Inhumans faced the Herders, they were born with a psychological advantage, and the psychological advantage made them make the wrong judgment sometimes.
Kieran didn't answer the question.
Kieran wanted to turn around and leave after getting the answer.
The Inhuman was anxious when he saw Kieran turn around and leave.
"Wait, explain yourself …"
The mutant wanted to stop Kieran, but as soon as he spoke, Kieran's eyes turned cold.
In the face of this coldness, the strange man felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He took a few steps back, and on the last step, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Thump!
The man fell to the ground in an ugly posture.
But the people around him didn't mock him.
This was because they were also frightened by the coldness that flashed through Kieran's eyes.
Just like the frost in June, it instantly chilled his heart.
Watching Kieran and his group leave, not a single mutant dared to speak.
They were truly frightened.
Before they met Kieran, they had never thought that a person could be so terrifying. Just a glance was enough to make people shudder.
After watching Kieran and his party disappear into the distance, the Mutants looked at each other.
They had no idea what Kieran was trying to do.
Not to mention these strange Mutants.
Paladia, Lucan, and Pangnard, who followed behind Kieran, were also filled with doubts.
What about the minotaur and horseman?
The two monsters who followed Kieran's orders to the letter didn't think too much about it.
Both of them were enjoying the hard-earned sunlight, feeling very excited.
[Seodi Stone] might restrict them, but it also provided them with protection. At least they didn't have to avoid the sunlight like snakes and scorpions.
The minotaur happily stepped on the horseman's shadow with its hoof.
The horseman poked the minotaur's shadow with its long sword, as if it was poking the minotaur.
The two Freaks were playing around like two children.
They continued until they left the city and entered the outskirts.
"My lord, there are predators here!
Mm, be careful! "
The minotaur and horseman said one after another.
"Is it a crocodile with the body of a chicken and flapping its wings without making any noise?"
Paladia asked.
"Yes.
You ran into it?
You didn't get eaten because my lord is beside you, right? "
The minotaur nodded and asked straightforwardly.
Paladia's face turned black, grunting coldly and turning away.
Of course, he wanted to argue.
But …
It was the truth.
If it wasn't for Kieran, he would have been eaten.
Pangnard walked up to Paladia and asked about the predator in a soft voice. After getting the gist of the situation, Pangnard looked even more serious than before.
This place was scarier than he thought.
At night, there were monsters of the night.
During the day, there were monsters of the day.
If a person moved alone, it would be hard for him to ensure his own safety.
That was because everyone needed rest.
No one could guarantee that they could sleep with their eyes open and awake.
Therefore, it was necessary to form a team.
Fortunately!
Pangnard looked at Lucan and then at Kieran and Paladia. He heaved a breath of relief in his heart.
Lucan's strength was undeniable.
Kieran was terrifyingly strong.
Paladia's performance in the temporary camp was outstanding as well. Although he wasn't at the top, he would occasionally enter the top 10. Pangnard always suspected that Paladia was hiding his strength.
Just like Kieran.
With such a group of teammates, Pangnard could be assured of his safety.
But …
Pangnard quietly looked at Kieran.
He felt Kieran was too hard to understand.
Just like what he did just now.
From his point of view, it wasn't necessary.
When the Inhumans and monsters appeared, quietly retreating and hiding the minotaur and horseman as a trump card during crucial moments would be the best choice.
The question from Kieran also confused Pangnard as well.
However, Pangnard knew his own limits, so he didn't ask.
He didn't want to break the good situation before him.
Or rather, he knew his own limits.
He knew how important he was in Kieran's heart.
The group moved forward under the watchful eyes of the minotaur and horseman. When they reached a forest, the horseman twitched its nose and gave a loud snort.
"My lord, this place doesn't have their scent.
It's safe! "
Said the horseman.
"Set up camp."
Kieran sized up the surroundings and nodded after making sure there were no mistakes.
The minotaur and horseman quickly moved out.
The two monsters swung their weapons and cleared out an empty space in the forest. Paladia, on the other hand, started a bonfire.
Lucan, who was still recovering from his injuries, fell asleep beside the bonfire when it was lit.
Pangnard, on the other hand, hunted a couple of wild hares in the forest.
He skillfully skinned the hares, skewered them and put them on top of the bonfire. A while later, the aroma of the hares wafted out.
"Do you want to try it?"
Pangnard asked the minotaur and horseman.
Although both of them were monsters, it wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship with them in the same camp.
Besides, from Pangnard's point of view, it was too easy to bribe the monsters with food.
In fact, from most of the Herders' point of view, the monsters' actions were very simple. Other than a few out of hatred, the rest were predatory.
Of course, monsters' food was different from common food.
Therefore, when Pangnard roasted the hares, he put in some soul crystals.
Soul crystals were the crystallization of the soul.
There was a certain chance of acquiring them when eliminating evil spirits.
It was one of the essential items for alchemy.
It was also one of the monsters' favorite foods.
However, the minotaur and horseman were not moved by Pangnard's invitation. They looked at Kieran blankly.
Or more precisely, Kieran's backpack.
It contained the food that Starbeck prepared for Kieran.
The minotaur and horseman's eyes were filled with desire.
They hoped that Kieran could share some of the food with them.
The food in the backpack had made their mouths water.
If the backpack wasn't Kieran's, they would have snatched it away.
Kieran wasn't moved by the minotaur and horseman's gazes. He reached into his backpack and took out a portion of the food.
It was beef rice with sauce.
The sauce was frozen into a meat jelly, wrapping the rice tightly.
After the meal box was placed on the fire for a few minutes, a dense aroma spread throughout the campsite.
Lucan woke up from his slumber.
Paladia also came back to his senses from his thoughts.
Pangnard was the first to be captivated.
Especially when Kieran opened the box, the aroma exploded and spread in all directions. It was a few times stronger than before.
The minotaur and horseman looked at Kieran with pitiful eyes, gulping their saliva.
When they realized Kieran didn't care about them, they snatched the roasted hares away from Pangnard's hands with grievances.
"Pui!
This is disgusting! "
"Sh * t cooking!"
"What a waste of ingredients!"
The minotaur and horseman stood on the same side, which was rare for them. They commented on the roasted hares in their hands.
WTF？！
Pangnard felt like his idea of roping in the two monsters was a fool's errand. It was impossible to rope them in.
Meanwhile, Kieran had finished his first serving.
The minotaur and horseman threw the roasted hares away and ran towards Kieran.
"My lord, do you need to wash the meal box?
Leave it to me! "
"No!"
"My lord, please leave it to me!"
The two monsters rubbed their hands together in a flattering manner, bowing and begging.
"No need."
Kieran said softly. He put the empty meal box back into his backpack and took out a new one, placing it beside the fire.
The two monsters returned to the fire as if they had lost their parents. They stared at the new meal box and picked up the roasted meat again.
"It's like chewing wax.
It's like the fire beetle I ate last time.
And it's the rotten kind. "
Pangnard didn't show any reaction on his face when he heard what the two monsters said. His heart was filled with words like F, F, and f * ck, forming a series of greetings.
The dense aroma exploded again as time went by.
The forest couldn't block the smell of Starbeck's food.
Even though it wasn't made on the spot.
A lot of animals were attracted by the smell.
However, the Minotaur and Horseman's strange aura made them not dare to take another step forward.
However, some existences weren't afraid of the two monsters.
Roar!
A heavy roar came from the sky.
The predator with the head of a crocodile and the body of a chicken appeared above the crowd. The minotaur and horseman returned to their original size, grabbing their weapons and looking at the predator with utmost vigilance.
Lucan, Pangnard, and Paladia were also nervous.
Only Kieran was different.
He sat there, raised his hand to pick up the lunchbox, and opened it just like that.
Kak!
There were two big buns in the box.
They didn't know what the fillings were, but the brown skin made them want to eat it. The Minotaur and Horseman's attention was unconsciously drawn to it.
Although the Herders told themselves to be vigilant, their noses couldn't help but twitch.
The predator in the sky was no exception.
It shook its crocodile head and swooped down.
It was here for food.
Now that there was such a delicacy in front of it, how could it sit still?
But someone else was faster!
Just as the predator was about to land on the ground, a white hand slapped its face!
"GET AWAY!"
Along with a delicate yell, the enormous predator was flung away horizontally.
KABOOM!
After crashing through a couple of big trees, the predator fell on the ground, shaking its head and trying to stand up but to no avail.
Clearly, that slap wasn't as simple as just being powerful.
Lucan, Pangnard, and Paladia looked at the person who knocked out the predator with a single punch with a heavy expression.
The minotaur and horseman, who sensed more, looked at the person before them as if they were facing a formidable foe.
However, the person didn't even care about them. He used a special technique to bypass the crowd in a few swaying steps and arrived at Kieran's side.
"I knew it! Only Roye could cook such a delicious dish!"
How about sharing some with me?
If you give me a third of the food, I'll form an alliance with you in this Battle of Winter Night. "
The person said as soon as he stood up straight.
Kieran didn't even care about the person, putting the second bun into his mouth.
Kieran's action infuriated the person so much that illusionary ears grew out of his head and a tail flashed behind him.
Paladia stared at the person. He felt the person was a little familiar and now, he finally remembered who the person was.
"Song Shi!"
Paladia cried out in shock.
Lucan and Pangnard also heard the name before, they looked even more nervous.
Song Shi didn't have a good reputation among the Herders.
"You bastard!
You are always so cold!
Don't you want to be the victor of the Battle of Winter Night?
I'm telling you, I'll stop you!
If you don't give me food, I'll cause trouble! "
Song Shi said with a grunt.
She was the first Inhuman to leave the city, she originally wanted to find a safe place to observe the situation, but before she could find a place, she smelled the aroma of food.
Instinctively, Song Shi followed the aroma.
Where did the food come from? Song Shi had guesses.
When she saw Kieran, she wasn't surprised at all.
She didn't think there was a second person who could cook food like that.
She also didn't think there was a second person who could be as cold as Kieran.
They were acquaintances after all.
Yet Kieran didn't give her any food.
"There is no victor in this Battle of Winter Night."
Kieran shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
Song Shi frowned.
Although she hated Kieran, she knew Kieran wasn't a person who would use words to gain attention.
In short, Song Shi believed Kieran must have discovered something when he said that.
Under Song Shi's gaze, Kieran took out the watch that he brought with him before he entered the dungeon and tossed it into the fire. Song Shi threw the watch into the fire right away. She didn't care about the watch, she was just curious about what Kieran had discovered.
Under [Seodi Stone]'s restriction, Paladia had no other choice.
The Herders from the north, on the other hand, chose to believe in Kieran, their savior.
Pangnard hesitated for a while before following suit.
He didn't believe in Kieran but he was curious about what Kieran had discovered.
Besides, he didn't want to leave the group.
After everyone made their choice, Kieran looked at Song Shi and said slowly, "What's your choice?
"It's simple, we were all tricked.
We stepped into someone else's trap.
