A dormant venomous snake did not mean that it was not poisonous.
It was just hiding its fangs.
Once it opened its mouth, it would reveal its ferocious nature.
That was why Kieran was even more cautious than before.
He scanned the surroundings with a vigilant gaze. At the same time, he gave a signal to the others.
The atmosphere in the group became even more tense.
Everyone was being extra careful.
However, nothing happened.
As the group passed through the forest, they arrived at the famous lake outside of Forende Town. Everything was normal.
Not only that, but the feeling of being watched had also disappeared.
"Does it only appear in Forende Town, which has been turned into a primitive forest?"
Kieran guessed.
"We can set up camp here and continue to search that primeval forest!"
Charles suggested.
No one objected.
They had yet to finish exploring the primordial forest that replaced Forende Town during their previous journey.
In fact, they had not even finished 10% of the exploration.
Even though Forende Town was not that big, when it had turned into a primeval forest, the lush greenery had blocked people's vision. Even Kieran could not see through the greenery. If he wanted to search, he would have to get closer to take a closer look.
Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Fortunately, Kieran had more than enough time.
There were 13 days left until the meeting with the Shepherds on the first of December.
Including the five to six days he would have to return to the West Coast, Kieran would have about a week to stay in Forende Town and investigate the truth.
As for the Shepherds breaking their promise?
As long as the Sub Mission [Ancient Society's Invitation] was still in effect, Kieran would respond to them in other ways instead of giving up on the Sub Mission.
After that, Kieran and Schmidt were in charge of driving the RV to the lake.
Charles and Raul and Cidney stayed behind.
This was the team they had arranged to deal with emergencies.
Everyone had witnessed Kieran's strength and Charles's reputation.
Charles was even more famous. It was naturally the best choice for the two of them to lead a team each.
Kieran and Schmidt did not go through the forest in order to return to the RV as soon as possible. Instead, they went around Forende Town, which had been replaced by the forest, and returned to the RV.
While walking on the dirt road in the countryside, the two of them looked at the lush scenery that was full of vitality. Schmidt could not help but sigh, "If it wasn't for the disappearance of a town, this place would definitely be the choice of many people for a holiday."
"Believe me, if people knew what happened in Forende Town, their curiosity would drive them here without a care for their own safety!"
Kieran shook his head.
"Curiosity killed the cat!"
"I hope we can solve the problem here quickly, at least before those curious fellows come recklessly!"
Schmidt did not refute Kieran's words.
Because he knew that was the truth.
Kieran, on the other hand, could hear the hidden worry in Schmidt's impatient tone.
Kieran shrugged at the question.
He had chosen to befriend Schmidt, a native, not only because of his identity as a chief officer, but also because of his sense of justice.
At least, with his sense of justice, Kieran did not have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the RV. Just as Schmidt started the engine, a gray mist appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the RV.
The thick fog caused the two of them to instantly lose their vision of the outside world.
Through the window, Kieran and Schmidt could only see a gray mist.
Their faces changed at the same time.
The mist before them had left a deep impression on them.
The Black Knight had disappeared with the appearance of the gray mist.
Now …
They were inside the gray mist.
Before they could react, they had been enveloped by the gray mist.
Schmidt instinctively stepped on the gas pedal.
He wanted to drive the RV out of the mist.
Unfortunately, it had been more than 10 seconds. According to their position, they should have reached the small road by now.
However, the mist did not disappear.
"Prepare your weapons!"
Kieran said to Schmidt with a frown as he sized up the rumbling gray mist around him.
He had no idea what was going on.
He remembered that the gray mist had taken the Black Knight away, and now it had enveloped them.
To put it simply, the gray fog might very well lead them to the Black Knights.
Even if they were not near the Black Knight, they might be in some dangerous place. Prepare your weapons, just in case.
Schmidt was stunned, but he quickly understood what Kieran meant.
He quickly opened the safety of his gun.
At the same time, he put two grenades into his shirt pocket.
He had used up all the grenades he had bought. These two grenades were a gift from Kieran.
Schmidt would not ask Kieran about his connections.
Most of the people on the mystical side were extremely powerful.
Schmidt was aware of that a long time ago.
The mist was rumbling outside the window. It looked like a monster with a slender body, swimming in the waves and in the sky.
Kieran looked at the watch in between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
It had been 5 minutes since they were enveloped by the mist.
The mist did not dissipate, but it was not as dense either.
It seemed like it was just trapping them inside.
Kieran's furrowed brows were almost locked together.
It was not good news.
If the fog in front of them was really going to bring them to a certain place and then 'trap' them again, it would be the worst thing that could happen.
It would only prove that it would be harder for them to leave.
Kieran looked at the rumbling mist in front of him and waited patiently.
He was hoping for something to happen.
Unfortunately, another 10 minutes passed.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
This time, even Schmidt noticed that something was not right.
He looked at Kieran, wanting to say something.
"I'll get down and have a look. Be careful!"
Before Schmidt could say anything, Kieran said.
At the same time, he got out of the car.
Kieran was much stronger than Schmidt, so it was more appropriate for him to test the waters.
Wuuu!
The moment Kieran got out of the car, the rumbling mist threw itself at Kieran. The ferocious force even caused a strong wind to howl around them.
Kieran, who was already in the mist, had no room to dodge. He was covered by the mist as well.
The thick gray mist turned black in Kieran's eyes.
It completely obscured his vision.
The last thing Kieran heard was Schmidt's scream.
However, when his vision returned, he did not see Schmidt, who should have been in the RV.
It was …
