"Arghhhh!!!"
Pained cries sounded out from afar, and they sounded like the wails of a dying person.
In the same place, a wooden bowl fell to the ground with a soft sound.
Looking at Adil's face, the girl turned around in a daze and looked in the direction of the sound. Her mind was blank, and she did not understand what had happened.
"What's wrong?"
She stood there in a daze, and she only reacted after a while.
"Ghoul!!"
Her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had thought of something terrifying. She turned around to look at Adil, who was in front of her, and immediately put down the things she had brought and ran out of the room.
Soon, Adil heard about what had happened in the distance.
During the night, another person had been attacked, and his body had been torn in half. His intestines and flesh had all disappeared, and it seemed that he had been eaten by the Ghoul.
Not only that, but large chunks of flesh had disappeared from the corpse. The deep bite marks and terrifying cracks were frightening to the extreme.
This was the typical killing method of the ghouls. They would tear a person apart and then devour all the internal organs and important muscles, leaving only a horrified face.
After this incident, the entire village immediately fell into panic.
Those who went out to scavenge during the day were terrified, and they did not dare to leave their village to explore the battlefield outside.
As monsters that were widespread, the Ghouls were familiar with their habits.
If they gathered together, they might be able to deter the Corpse Eater from attacking them. However, if they were scattered, the Corpse Eater would probably attack them one by one and devour them one by one.
Sensing the atmosphere in the village, Adil sighed softly in a tent in the village.
After a few days, his injuries had mostly healed. Although they had not fully healed, he had regained some of his strength.
Even though it was insignificant compared to Adil's main body, it was enough for ordinary people. Coupled with Adil's control, it was enough for him to fight against a Knight head-on.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had spent most of his time recovering this body and had been living a very poor life during this period of time, Adil would have already officially activated his seed of life and become a real knight.
In just half a month, he had gone from an ordinary person who had undergone some Knight training to an existence that was close to becoming an official Knight. If word of this were to spread, it would probably shock a lot of people.
According to the memories of this body of Adil, having strength close to that of a Knight was enough for him to find a better place to hide.
Originally, he planned to find an excuse to leave in a few days, and then find an opportunity to give these scavengers some compensation, as a reward for these scavengers dragging him out of the battlefield and taking care of him until now.
However, after what had happened, he had unknowingly given up on this idea.
If they left now, there would only be one outcome for these scavengers. Sooner or later, they would be killed one by one, and not even their bones would be left.
Thinking of this, Adil pondered for a while. In the end, he did not move and just lay there in Silence.
A few days passed slowly. In these few days, it seemed that because these scavengers had been staying together, the ghoul did not continue to attack them. Instead, it hid in Silence.
However, this situation could not last for long.
The reason why scavengers went to scavenge was ultimately because they were poor.
Staying together for a long time could make the ghoul not dare to attack them, but it also made it impossible for these scavengers to go out to scavenge. They could only rely on their past savings to survive.
The threat of death was terrifying, but poverty was equally maddening.
If such a long standoff continued, the scavengers would be the first to give up.
In addition, because of the peace during this period of time, some of them began to relax and tried to leave the encampment to go to the outside world. In the end, they returned safely.
After this result appeared, the originally gathered scavengers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the originally taut string immediately loosened.
For a time, this small scavenger village seemed to have returned to its original state. It was busy and peaceful as before.
It was another night.
Adil lay on the bed made of straw in Silence. His eyes were closed in Silence as if he was sleeping.
Outside, light footsteps could be heard. Then, a girl named Wendy walked in with a bowl of steaming hot soup in her hand.
She looked very tall, and her face was full of joy. It seemed like something good had happened.
"You look very happy."
In front of him, feeling the girl's arrival, Adil slowly opened his eyes. He smiled and looked at Wendy in front of him.
"Yes."
Seeing that Adil had woken up, Wendy's face became even more joyful.
As she put down the hot soup in her hands, she looked at Adil, who was in front of her. Her face looked rosy, and although she was not beautiful, this time she looked particularly lively.
"Uncle hunted a big wild boar today. After he brought it back, he distributed it to everyone. Everyone got a piece of meat!"
She happily told this to Adil. There was obvious joy in her words.
"What an easily satisfied child."
Adil secretly shook his head and did not know what to say.
Wendy's uncle was a hunter in this village. It was said that because of his skills, he had a lot of prestige in this village.
During this period of time, Adil had heard about her uncle's deeds from the girl more than once. He had already formed a rough image in his mind.
After drinking the hot soup in the wooden bowl, Adil suddenly froze. He seemed to have sensed something and silently looked outside.
He saw that the moon was very round. Under the deep night, the bright moonlight shined on the ground, illuminating the entire land.
Looking at this scene and sensing a certain aura in the surroundings, Adil lightly sighed before turning around and looking at the girl before him and softly saying, "You're right, you're right.
He softly said, "Wendy."
"Hmm?" Hearing Adil's words, the girl looked up in confusion and met Adil's gaze.
Under the illumination of the torches in the dark night, Adil was dressed in shabby clothes. His long hair, which had been cleaned and combed, casually swayed. His face looked very handsome in the dark night. There was a hint of gentleness in his eyes, and his tone was so gentle that it was impossible to refuse.
"Can you stay tonight?"
Looking at the girl in front of him and sensing the heavy mark left on her body, Adil spoke softly as he looked at her.
"Eh?" Hearing Adil's words, the girl let out a cry of surprise, and her face instantly became extremely red.
She looked at Adil, who was lying on the straw in front of her. She looked at his face, which was flushed as if it was congested with blood. All sorts of scenes flashed through her mind in an instant.
It was obvious that she had misunderstood Adil's meaning.
However, as she gazed into Adil's gentle eyes, she lowered her head in the end and tidied up the items around her without saying a word.
It was only after a while that she carefully took some clothes from her room and sneaked into Adil's tent.
This process was accidentally seen by others, causing a wave of cheers and whistles.
After carefully watching this process, Adil shook his head as he laid on a pile of straw in Silence.
He had only wanted to keep the girl by his side, but he had never thought that there would be such a misunderstanding.
However, at this point, there was no need to explain anything.
That night, under the girl's nervous gaze, Adil did not do anything. He only silently closed his eyes and lay there in Silence.
This caused the girl's heart to become somewhat complicated. She felt an indescribable sense of loss, but she also let out a sigh of relief.
All sorts of thoughts appeared in her mind at this moment, and then her mind slowly became blank, causing her to slowly fall asleep.
At night, as darkness enveloped the entire world, a figure slowly appeared outside Adil's tent.
It was a very tall and burly figure. His upper body was draped in beast skin, and his rough face was expressionless.
He looked at the tent in front of him and sensed the mark he had left behind.
He smiled coldly as he waved his hand, and the tent in front of him opened up.
As he walked in, he saw Adil and Wendy's figures.
Looking at the clean and tidy tent in front of him, as well as Adil and Wendy who were lying separately, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little surprised.
However, he did not care too much about this surprise. He turned to look at his target, the girl lying in the distance.
Arriving at Adil's tent, the girl was wearing a set of red clothes. Although her clothes were somewhat tattered, they were more or less complete.
She was just lying there, looking like she was sleeping very soundly.
After the figure entered, a certain aura tugged at the girl, causing her to frown and wake up.
After waking up, she looked a bit sleepy and her mind was a bit unclear.
However, after seeing the tall and big man in front of her, her mind became clear and her expression became nervous, "Uncle."
The tall and big man in front of her was her only relative, her uncle.
"Wendy …"
A soft and hoarse voice rang out in the same place.
The man looked at Wendy, and a weird smile appeared on his rough face. It looked like a smile yet not a smile, and it was a bit strange.
"What are you doing here?"
He looked at Wendy in front of him and asked with that weird smile on his face.
"Uncle, I …"
Being asked like this by the man, the girl's expression became a bit nervous.
This was normal.
No matter what kind of girl it was, when her elder saw her lying in a man's tent, she would instinctively feel nervous and uneasy.
Not to mention, the person standing in front of the girl was the girl's only relative.
She hurriedly opened her mouth and looked at Adil who was lying beside her, and wanted to explain.
A huge arm stopped her from opening her mouth.
In front of Wendy, the man had a weird smile on his face, and it looked like a smile yet not a smile. Silence, he stretched out a hand towards the girl in front of him.
Huala …
A light tearing sound rang out, that was the sound of clothes being torn apart.
In front of Wendy, the man's arm quickly changed, quickly expanding into a huge black arm, and there were even many sharp bone spurs growing out of it.
On the bone spurs of the arm, a bit of black aura was flickering, causing people who smelled it to feel like vomiting.
Wendy looked at this scene blankly, the voice that she wanted to speak was directly suppressed in her throat. Looking at the man in front of her, her mind was blank, as if she was unable to react.
"Uncle, you!!"
After a long time, she finally reacted to what had happened. Looking at the man in front of her, her eyes were filled with deep disbelief.
Her face was pale, and the corner of her mouth was slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something.
However, the man in front of her did not give her a chance.
Bang!
A huge arm swept across, bringing about a huge wind, and directly swept Wendy away, smashing her onto the ground.
In front of her, the man's chest gradually changed, on his face that was originally rough, fine lines appeared, causing his entire person to look very terrifying.
"So tempting."
Looking at Wendy in front of him, his face was filled with greed, and within his eyes was a deep desire to eat.
"Heart, liver, lungs … they all look very delicious."
A low voice rang out, sounding even more awkward and hoarse, as if the voice was forcefully squeezed out from the throat.
In front of her, Wendy's face was filled with deep fear. Silence, she looked at the monster in front of her slowly walking over, and then a sharp claw fiercely slashed down, wanting to directly tear her apart and end up like the few people before her.
Ahhhhhhhh!!
A violent sound rang out, that was the girl's cry of despair.
Looking at the girl's panicked look, a weird smile appeared on the monster's face, as if he had already imagined the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Bang!!!
In the next moment, a sound that sounded like metal clashing rang out, quickly ringing out, and the airflow that was brought up caused the surrounding straws to fly everywhere.
At the crucial moment, a seemingly small but powerful arm that was compared to the monster's arm suddenly stretched out, directly blocking the sharp claw that was slashing down.
Unknowingly, Adil was already standing in front of the girl.
His face looked pale, and his face was completely devoid of blood due to prolonged hunger and cold. His entire body was covered in layers of huge wounds, and his unsteady footsteps looked as if he could fall at any time.
However, even so, his posture was very straight, and even though his handsome face was expressionless, his eyes emitted a sharp gaze, completely displaying his determination and vast fighting spirit.
