Following the same route as the week before, Greem set out on his inspection trip
Grees were quite different today
When he set his foot on the stone paved path, Gree Today, the de in unusual ways
The first stop of his inspection was the grove of Ghost Trees
Before he even reached the grove, Greem was freaked out by what he saw in front of hi on top of those skinny and wrinkled Ghost Trees, and every single one of theh, none of the any noise, which was totally different fro stared at by a few hundred Scavenger Crows at the same time would make even the bravest Apprentice Adept’s spine crawl But what made Greem feel evennorer Crows could be heard fro from their quietfeast
Froer Croould only be so quiet and patient when they aiting for their food It was said that these birds could follow a dying traveler for days without sleep or rest, just waiting for theparade’ of a few hundred Scavenger Crows, Gree down the stony trail As he proceeded, he knew that he was completely surrounded by creatures who came with bad intentions
“Chip Perfor area I want to knohat is happening here!” Gree atmosphere and whispered an order to the Chip
Beep “Co dyna area…” Beep … Beep … Beep … “Source of disturbance is -unknown smell- … Direction: South East… Distance: 500the Chip’s report, Greem took a deep breath and tried to smell this ‘Unknown Smell’ After a moment, he was able to sense theNo wonder all these demons looked so excited today! If he was able to smell the scent of blood, of course these creatures, who had tens or even hundreds of times more sensitive senses, could smell it!
However, today was not the monthly ‘open day’, when the toould purposely lower the swamps defences to entice outsiders to come and ‘feed’ the ‘wildlife’! Could it be someone had really sneaked into this place?
With questions filling his mind, Greem poured an entire bottle of ‘Alan Grass’ potion into histowards the South East

But, unfortunately for thehtening creatures within the swas, and crawled across the ground with a pair of sharp claws, dragging a long organ, which looked like an uly and had twisted bodies, yet looked remarkably similar to human infants However, their faces were not made of smooth youthful flesh, but of wrinkled dead skin, and their facial features were squeezed together, giving thely faces
Within the knee-deep bushes, these s out curses and screahout the area Whenever a baby’s cry was heard, it would iht
Although these Deth of at least 5, which equaled that of your average adult human Not only that, but they also had a pair of deadly claws Whenever they leaped forward and struck the large wooden shields, they would leave deep scratch marks behind
However, their deadliest weapon was their Curse
When Greeh the defensive shields with their bodies
One after the other, the De the to land behind the defensive shields of those mercenaries, but every time, those mercenaries, ere prepared, would knock theuards There was even a Demon Baby who couldn’t escape in tiround with an arrow
Although it had its body nailed to the ground, the De the dirt with its claws Then it raised its body and let out an irritating baby cry toward a closest hu, but while it was just an unpleasant noise for other people, but when the cry hit theclosest to it, it instantly struck hi ‘Curse’
