Ark Undead

Skadi instinctively took two more steps back.

Seeing Skadi's expression, Kroos stopped and tilted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled look.

"Skadi, are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm scared, Xiao Ke."

Skadi thought for a moment and then asked.

How is Melanie doing lately?

"Melantha! Give it to Kroos, it's delicious!"

Upon hearing Skadi mention Melantha, Kroos immediately perked up.

"Just now, I was watching a movie with Katie! Kroos is sleepy, Kroos is asleep."

To Kroos, Melantha seemed like an older sister who could feed her at any moment. Melantha was Kroos's best friend and a family member on par with the Undead.

Skadi narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing Kroos's words.

Logically speaking, the figures of people who are not actually in a dream should never appear in a dream.

However, the fact that Kroos is here now means that she is also sleeping and dreaming.

"Little Ke, do you know that you're dreaming?"

“Keopatra knows.”

"Keober said earnestly."

"Keopatra also knows that Skadi is dreaming."

"why?"

Skadi listened to Kroos's words. Kroos seemed very familiar with this dream, and Skadi clearly understood that she was not in reality.

"Ceobe is as familiar to me as Biskadi," she said matter-of-factly.

"Because you're dreaming?"

Kroos blinked and continued.

"Otherwise, why would I come here? Anyway, Kroos won't die."

As he spoke, Kroos even tried to plunge the spear in his hand into his own chest.

It seems she wanted to prove to Skadi that she wouldn't die in this dream.

Skadi instinctively reached out to stop Kroos.

"Okay, okay, I know you're serious now!"

"Ceobe also knows that Skadi is real!"

As he spoke, Kroos stepped forward and grabbed Skadi's hand.

Skadi initially wanted to dodge, but seeing Kroos's grinning face, she couldn't bring herself to shake off her hand.

Kroos grabbed Skadi's hand and squeezed it a couple of times, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Skadi, your body is so hard."

"hard?"

Skadi instinctively pinched her cheek.

It's not hard? It feels the same as in real life.

"It's harder than a fake one."

"Keopatra said."

"Keopatra can smell whether it's real or fake."

"Those fake Skadis are delicious. They just need to be grilled."

Skadi's heart pounded as she listened to Kroos's words.

What kind of talk is this? Why is she dreaming about food, and it seems like she's eating a fake Skadi?

"You eat people?"

"Keobe won't! But if the fake one is killed by Keobe, flesh will appear!"

As he spoke, Kroos pulled out a piece of roasted flesh from the bag he carried with him.

To Skadi, the roasted flesh looked like the flesh of some kind of marine creature, but Kroos didn't care.

She even swallowed.

"Skadi, eat!"

"I...I'll pass."

Skadi shook her head, still refusing Kroos's offer.

No matter what, this is too bizarre.

Right in front of Skadi, Kroos nonchalantly held the pieces of meat to her mouth and took a bite.

The roasted meat chunks were torn off by the croaker, who slurped them into his mouth in one go, then puffed up his cheeks and chewed them with a wiggling motion.

Even in her dream, Kroos was thinking about food, and what she ate was...

Skadi couldn't stand the eerie atmosphere any longer. She needed to figure out what was going on with Kroos and why she had ended up in this dream.

"Xiao Ke, when did you first realize you were in your dreams?"

"Huh? Little Ke's dream?"

Kroos chewed the meat in his mouth quickly for a while, then swallowed it.

She thought about it.

"Little Ke, you've been dreaming for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Skadi suddenly remembered something.

A few months ago, the Undead seemed to have mentioned Kroos during a casual conversation with her.

He said that Kroos had been sleeping a lot more lately, exceeding the normal range, and he wanted to get it checked out. However, no abnormalities were found, and it could only be attributed to a constitutional issue.

"Started very early?"

Skadi wanted to figure out the time.

"I dream about it when I'm traveling in Kerber!"

Kroos thought for a moment, then said happily.

"After each dream, Kroos would kill monsters in the dream. Then when he woke up, the pain would be gone!"

Skadi knew something about Kroos.

Before encountering the immortals, Ceobe wandered alone in the wilderness.

No one knows how this girl survived in the wilderness for so long, and her body has been suffering from Oripathy.

Logically speaking, dreams should place a huge burden on Kroos's mind and body.

However, Kroos doesn't seem to have this concept; instead, she is able to draw a considerable amount of power from dreams.

What kind of logic is this?!

"Skadi, eat!"

As Skadi pondered this, she saw Kroos pick up the piece of meat in his hand again.

"After eating the meat, the pain will be gone when I wake up!"

Although she was eager to find out what was going on, Skadi still felt a genuine sense of unease when she saw the chunk of flesh.

So, he had no choice but to push away the piece of meat in Kroos's hand again.

"Thank you... but I don't need it."

Kroos happily began gnawing on the piece of meat he was holding.

Skadi also lowered her guard.

This is a real Kerbera.

But even if she's on Rhodes Island, can she still enter the dream world?

Why? Is it because there's something special about the Keopatra itself?

Skadi recalled some information about Kroos, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

I really can't figure it out, so I'll just have to put this problem aside for now.

He then looked at the campfire that had appeared where the "undead" had been killed.

Skadi naturally recognized this campfire.

But this was the first time she had seen this campfire in her dream.

Skadi circled the campfire several times, but still couldn't figure out what was going on with it.

But Skadi showed no intention of touching the campfire; the stranger something was, the more cautious one had to be.

However, Kroos did not think so.

After finishing the meat in his hand in a few bites, Kroos went to the campfire.

She stretched out her greasy hand and touched the hilt of the sword by the campfire.

Instantly, the campfire burst into flames, and Skadi's stamina, depleted in the previous battle, was fully replenished in that instant.

Surprised by the changes in her body, Skadi heard Kroos's voice once again.

"Skadi, haven't you ever seen an undead campfire?"

"I just haven't seen it in my dreams."

Skadi shook her head; this was truly the first time she had ever seen such a thing.

Is that so?
