Wizard Immortal

Chapter 594 Overnight Stay

Ahhh! ! !

Screams echoed from afar, like the wails of the dying, gradually spreading throughout the area.

With a soft thud, a wooden bowl fell to the ground.

Staring blankly at Adir's face in front of her, the girl turned around and slowly looked in the direction from which the voice came. Her mind was blank, and she seemed not to understand what had happened.

"What's wrong?"

She stood there, stunned, her mind blank for a moment before she came to her senses.

"Ghoul!!"

Her face turned deathly pale, as if she had thought of something terrifying. She glanced back at Adir in front of her, then immediately put down what she had brought and ran out.

Soon, news of what was happening in the distance reached Adir's ears.

At night, another person was attacked and torn in two, his intestines and flesh all gone, apparently eaten by the attacking ghoul.

Not only that, large chunks of flesh had disappeared from the corpse, leaving deep bite marks and horrifying cracks that were truly terrifying.

This is the typical way ghouls kill people: tearing them apart, then eating their internal organs and vital muscles, leaving only a horrifying face filled with lingering fear.

After this incident, the entire village was immediately thrown into panic.

Those who used to scavenge during the day were now living in constant fear, and at this point they dared not leave their village to continue exploring the battlefield outside.

As a widely distributed monster, the habits of ghouls are well known to the general public.

If they gather together, it might deter the ghouls from attacking easily. But if they disperse, they will likely be picked off one by one by the lurking ghoul and devoured.

Feeling the atmosphere of the village, Adir sighed softly in his tent.

After these few days, his injuries have mostly healed. Although not completely healed, he has barely regained some strength.

Although insignificant compared to Adir's true form, it is sufficient for an ordinary person. With Adir's control, it is enough to fight a knight head-on.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had spent most of his time recovering his body and that his life had been so miserable during this period, Adir would have already officially activated the Seed of Life and become a true knight.

In just half a month, he went from an ordinary person who had undergone some knight training to someone who was close to being a formal knight. If this progress were to be revealed, it would probably shock many people.

According to the memories of Adir's current body, his strength was close to that of a knight, which was enough to make him a dominant force in this area, allowing him to find a better place to hide.

He originally planned to find an excuse to leave in the next few days, and then find an opportunity to give these scavengers some compensation as a way of repaying them for dragging him out of the battlefield and taking care of him until now.

But after these events, his original idea was unconsciously abandoned.

If we leave now, these scavengers will only have one outcome: they will be dealt with one by one sooner or later, leaving no trace of their remains after death.

Thinking about this outcome, Adir pondered alone for a while, but ultimately made no move and simply lay there quietly.

Several days passed slowly. During this time, it seemed that because the scavengers stayed together, the ghoul did not make any further moves, but instead quietly lurked.

However, this situation cannot last long.

The reason why scavengers go to scavenge is ultimately because of poverty.

While their long-term gathering might deter the ghoul from attacking, it also prevented these scavengers from scavenging outside, forcing them to rely on their past savings to survive.

The threat of death is terrifying, but poverty can be just as maddening.

If this standoff continues for so long, the first to give way will be these scavengers.

In addition, because of the peace and tranquility during this period, some people have become complacent and have begun to tentatively leave the base and go to the outside world, eventually returning safely.

After this result was announced, the scavengers who had gathered together immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension they had been holding back immediately eased.

In an instant, this small village of scavengers seemed to return to its original state, as busy and peaceful as before.

Another night.

Adir lay quietly on the straw bed, his eyes closed, looking as if he were asleep.

Outside, light footsteps sounded, and then a girl named Wendy came out, carrying a bowl of steaming hot soup.

She looked very happy, her face beaming with joy, as if something wonderful had happened.

You look very happy.

As he sensed the girl enter, Adir slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and looked at Wendy in front of him.

"yes."

Seeing Adir awaken, Wendy's joy deepened.

As she put down the hot soup she was holding, she looked at Adir in front of her. Her face was flushed, and although she wasn't considered beautiful, she looked unusually lively this time.

"My uncle hunted a big wild boar today. After bringing it back, he distributed it among everyone, and each person got a piece of meat!"

She told Adir about it with obvious joy in her voice.

"What an easily satisfied child."

Adir shook his head inwardly, unsure of what else to say.

Wendy's uncle is a hunter in the village, and he is said to be very prestigious in this village of scavengers because of his superb skills.

During this time, Adir had heard the girl talk about her uncle's deeds more than once, and a rough image of him had formed in his mind.

After drinking the hot soup from the wooden bowl, Adir suddenly paused, as if sensing something, and silently looked outside.

He saw that the moon outside was very round, and under the deep darkness of the night, the bright moonlight shone on the earth, illuminating the entire land.

Gazing at the scenery and sensing the aura surrounding him, Adir sighed softly, then turned to look at the girl before him and spoke softly.

Wendy.

"Huh?" Hearing Adir's shout, the girl looked up in confusion and met Adir's eyes.

Illuminated by the torchlight in the darkness, Adir wore tattered clothes, his long, neatly combed hair was casually tousled, and his face appeared so handsome in the night. His eyes held a touch of gentleness, and his voice was so mild that it was impossible to refuse him.

"Can you stay tonight?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, feeling the heavy marks left on her body, Adir spoke softly, his eyes fixed on her.

"Huh?" The girl exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Adir's words, her face instantly turning incredibly red with embarrassment.

She looked at Adir lying on the straw in front of her, at his face, which was flushed red as if it were bloodshot, and in an instant, all sorts of scenes flashed through her mind.

Clearly, she misunderstood Adir's meaning.

However, standing before Adir, gazing into his gentle eyes, she finally lowered her head, silently tidying up the items around her without uttering a word.

After a while, she carefully took some clothes from her room and sneaked into Adir's tent.

The process was accidentally witnessed by others, which caused a burst of cheers and whistles.

Watching the process closely, lying quietly on a pile of straw, Adir shook his head.

He initially just wanted to keep the girl by his side, but he didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.

However, at this point, there's not much need for explanation.

At night, under the girl's anxious gaze, Adir remained motionless, simply lying there quietly with his eyes closed.

This reaction immediately made the girl feel a bit complicated, a strange sense of loss, but also a faint sense of relief.

All sorts of thoughts surfaced in her mind at that moment, then slowly faded, and she drifted off to sleep.

At night, as darkness enveloped the world, a figure slowly appeared outside Adir's camp.

It was a very tall and imposing figure, with a large and robust build, wearing an animal skin on his upper body, and a rough, expressionless face.

He stared at the camp before him, feeling the marks he had left behind, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

He waved his hand gently, and the tents in front of him parted automatically. Then he stepped inside.

As you walk in, the figures of Adir and Wendy come into view.

Looking at the neat and tidy tent in front of him, without a trace of mess, and Adir and Wendy lying separately, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was somewhat taken aback.

However, he didn't care much about this unexpected incident and turned around to look at his target this time, namely the girl lying in the distance.

Upon arriving at Adir's tent, the girl was dressed in a relatively intact red outfit. Although the clothes were somewhat worn, they were generally in good condition.

She was just lying there, looking like she was sleeping soundly.

After the figure entered, the girl unconsciously frowned due to the pull of some kind of aura, and then woke up.

When she woke up from her deep sleep, she looked a little sleepy and her mind was not quite clear.

But upon seeing the tall man before her, she instantly regained her senses and her face tensed up: "Uncle."

The tall man who appeared before her was none other than her only relative, her uncle.

"Wendy..."

A soft, hoarse voice echoed from the spot.

Before him, the man stared at Wendy, a strange smile spreading across his rugged face. It looked ambiguous, neither a smile nor a smile, and rather odd.

"What are you doing here?"

He looked at Wendy in front of him and asked, a strange smile on his face.

"Uncle, I..."

The girl's face turned somewhat tense when the man asked her that question.

This is normal.

No matter what kind of girl she is, she will instinctively feel nervous and uneasy when her elders see her lying in a man's tent.

Not to mention, the person standing in front of the girl was her only relative.

She quickly spoke, glancing at Adir lying beside her, about to explain.

A huge arm stopped her from speaking.

In front of Wendy, the man wore a strange smile, his expression ambiguous, as he quietly extended a hand to the girl in front of him.

Splash...

A soft tearing sound rang out; it was the sound of clothes being ripped.

Before Wendy's eyes, the man's arm rapidly transformed, expanding into a gigantic black arm covered in sharp bone spurs.

A faint black aura flickered on the bone spur on the arm, making anyone who smelled it want to vomit.

Wendy stared blankly at the scene, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat. Looking at the man in front of her, her mind went blank, and she seemed unable to react.

"Uncle, you!!"

After a long while, she finally realized what had happened, and looked at the man in front of her with deep disbelief in her eyes.

Her face was pale, and her lips were slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something.

However, the man did not give her a chance.

boom!

A huge arm swept across, creating a massive gust of wind that swept Wendy aside, slamming her to the ground.

Before my eyes, the man's chest gradually changed, and fine lines appeared on his originally rugged face, making him look terrifying.

"That looks so tempting."

He stared at Wendy with greed on his face and a deep hunger in his eyes.

"Heart, liver, lungs... they all look delicious."

The faint voice echoed from the spot, sounding increasingly awkward and hoarse, as if it were being forced out of the throat.

Before her, Wendy's face was filled with deep fear as she silently watched the monster slowly approach. Then, a sharp claw slashed down, intending to tear her apart and suffer the same fate as the others.

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!

A loud bang echoed from the spot; it was the girl's desperate scream.

Looking at the girl's panicked appearance, the monster revealed a strange smile, as if it had already imagined the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

boom! ! !

The next moment, a sound like metal clashing rang out, echoing rapidly in the same spot, and the airflow it generated caused the surrounding straw to fly everywhere.

At the critical moment, a seemingly small but powerful arm suddenly stretched out and blocked the descending claw.

Without anyone noticing, Adir was already standing in front of the girl.

He looked pale, his face bloodless from prolonged hunger and cold, and his body was covered with huge, bandaged wounds. His unsteady steps made him look like he might collapse at any moment.

Despite this, his posture was upright, and although his handsome face was expressionless, the sharp look in his eyes revealed a firm and powerful fighting spirit.
