Chapter 331 The rancid smell on the road
Kelly carried a needle and thread with her, and after receiving the cloth handed over by Hans, she conveniently landed on the ground and sewed up the hole on it.
By the time everyone had finished eating, Kelly had mended Hans' cloth and handed it back to him.
"Hmm... barely passable."
Hans folded the piece of cloth and put it in his pocket. His eyes fell on the canned food in front of Kelly, who had only eaten a few bites.
"Is it almost ready to go?"
The little tailor had three or four empty cans in front of him, stretched himself, and said to his teammates beside him.
Kelly didn't intend to delay everyone's progress, so she reached out and wanted to cover the canned food that had only eaten a few mouthfuls.
And these actions all fell into Hans' eyes.
"Why are you in a hurry? Sit for another ten minutes."
Zhou Bai leaned against the tree trunk, and quietly raised the corners of his mouth.
The little tailor let out an "oh" and didn't say much. After yawning, he also rested against the tree trunk.
Kelly quickly reopened the can, seized the time, and took a few more mouthfuls.
It wasn't until Kelly finished eating that Zhou Bai stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and said to the others.
"It's almost there, let's go."
This time, Hans didn't say much, he got up and set off with Zhou Bai.
The five of them, plus a little bat that always followed them, set off on the journey again, heading towards the direction of the cabin.
The cabin is located in the north of the Black Forest.
When Zhou Bai looked at the map before, he found that if he ignored some obstacles along the road and only looked at the straight-line distance on the map, the cave where the giant was, the devil's castle where the thorn witch was, and the cabin they were going to now , which are just connected to form an equilateral triangle.
The location of the "evil dragon" is in the middle of this triangle.
Zhou Bai didn't know if this was just a coincidence.
However, when he discovered this for the first time, he faintly felt something was wrong.
The distance from Devil's Castle to the cabin is actually not too short, but because the road is flat and easy to walk, they were almost reaching their destination when it was close to eight o'clock.
"Eh? The land here has traces of being cultivated.
Could it be that the people who lived in the log cabin made these?
Unexpectedly, there are normal humans living in the Black Forest. "
Others hadn't read the first rule that Zhou Bai got after entering the dungeon, so they didn't know that the seven crows lived in this log cabin.
"You said, we went to the cabin, will there be a beautiful peasant girl serving me a bowl of hot soup?"
The little tailor has begun to fall into fantasy.
Zhou Bai didn't intend to break his illusion right now, but looked at Kelly.
It seems that Kelly became more and more silent as she got closer to the cabin.
Obviously she insisted on coming here.
Zhou Bai also couldn't understand.
The little tailor seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song along the road, picking flowers and wild fruits for a while, bouncing around and looking around as the team moved forward.
"Wow, see that?
There is a blue flower over there, I will pick it. "
The little tailor took another aim at a wild flower with a unique appearance on the side of the road. After speaking, he left the team and ran towards that flower.
Kelly followed the team silently, but when she looked up and saw the little tailor running towards the blue flower, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Don't go, there's a deep pit there!"
"I'll go, where is this grass, this is simply a deep pit."
The little tailor pushed aside the pile of weeds in front of him, and then others saw that the grass actually grew out of a deep pit.
The little tailor patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, Kelly reminded me, otherwise it would be so painful to fall."
He walked back to the team while talking.
But Zhou Bai frowned as he stared at where he was walking.
From their current position, they couldn't see the deep pit under the grass at all.
So how did Kelly know there was a deep hole there?
She has been here?
It must be more than that.
The grass is not conspicuous, if you only come once, it is difficult to remember so clearly.
In other words, she should be very familiar with the surrounding area.
The cabin, the seven crows, and Kelly, what is their relationship?
A group of them, according to the location on the map, kept walking along the path.
After walking another distance in this way, they finally saw the outline of a dark house not far away, appearing in front of their eyes.
Everyone cheered up and wanted to speed up their pace to reach their destination, but they seemed to smell a bad smell coming from the nearby woods.
It was a smell of rotten meat.
Zhou Bai began to have bad associations in his mind.
The faces of other people also became a little serious.
The little bat, which had been following behind the team, flew in front of them, circled a few times excitedly, and landed on Zhou Bai's shoulder.
Zhou Bai looked at the little guy on his shoulder.
I saw his sharp teeth exposed, a pair of black eyes turned left and right, and his nose breathed hard, as if he was smelling something.
"I heard that bats like to eat carrion."
The little tailor might think that the current atmosphere is not scary enough, but his words startled David.
"You mean, what we smell now is the smell of rotting corpses?"
The little tailor wanted to tease him.
"Yes, have you heard the story of the crow reporting the death?"
David shook his head in fear, smelling the rotten smell around him.
"It is rumored that crows represent bad luck.
As long as someone hears the sharp cry of the crow, someone will die near it.
I heard that when I entered this black forest, there are often crows around here. "
The little tailor spoke so vividly that David was so frightened that he quickly covered his ears.
"It's horrible, I don't want to hear the crows."
The little tailor laughed happily when he saw David's frightened appearance.
"I laughed so hard, isn't he too timid?"
He bent down and laughed, and suddenly heard a "dumb" cry behind him, and then a black figure flapped its wings and flew away from the dead branches in front of them.
The little tailor froze in place.
The others were also a little stunned.
But what followed was an increasingly strong rancid smell that penetrated their noses.
