Chapter 5: Gray

"Click. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Ash bit the leg bone in his mouth in two, and then sucked the bone marrow "slippery".

…… You're pretty skilled. I glanced at it and continued to chew on the heart in my mouth.

The wolf that became my servant, who was given the name "Grey", is now my companion...... The first character is pronounced "shape", and the second character is pronounced "hang".

What makes me strange is that the object of the gray contract does not seem to be me, but the one who shouted together that day. But out of fear of my strength and the order to devour, it is in alliance with me.

Across us was a normal, fragmented ghoul, stiff with a taste that was hard to swallow - that was the assessment, but I couldn't tell the difference, after all, the blood in this ghoul's body had long since dried up, and the taste that only reacted to blood did not provide enough information for me to distinguish.

"Roar......" Suddenly, Grey raised his head and let out a low roar towards my right.

I turned my head and saw an authentic wolf coming out of the woods.

The normal wolf has a dark body, and it was like this before the gray, but after it became me, or rather, became a servant of devouring, its hair turned from black to gray, and its four paws were faintly white.

Until the hostile relationship is clear, even if the location is revealed, the ghouls will only be treated as "normal corpses that can move", so I can watch a two-wolf fight with peace of mind.

"Roar!" Pale Ash leaned slightly, letting out a short, powerful roar.

"He's rolling the new kid." "Our gray likes to eat alone. ”

The wild wolf looked at the gray, and then at me and the half of the corpses on the ground that were "bitten and killed" by the gray, probably because he felt that he had no strength left, took a few steps back, and then galloped away.

Ash glanced at me, then grabbed an arm and bit it.

…… It's so fast. I was a little helpless, and in just twenty minutes, I only grabbed one right arm and one heart, and the rest was swallowed by Grayβ€”of course, the entrails and the head were not touched, because both the master and servant felt that these things tasted too bad.

"Rustling ......" There was a sound of leaves above my head, and a snake of unknown breed fell from the sky, landed on me, and bit me on the shoulder with its mouth open.

I grabbed its body, and the body of the snake more than two meters long flipped and fluttered in my arms. But I just held one end of each hand and slowly twisted the snake body with inhuman strength.

Pulling out the dagger from my waist, I cut off the poison sac from the snake's palate and threw it into my mouth - if one day I was forced to fight with my teeth, it would be necessary to raise the contents of the corpse poison in advance.

Cutting off a few pieces of flesh from the snake and stuffing it into my mouth, I stood, raised my hand for Grey to follow, and strode deeper into the woods.

"Small business? Small business? A familiar voice suddenly came to my head, "Can you hear me?" ”

"Ciel?" I was a little surprised, this was outside the city, at least six or seven miles away from Duck Academy, how was Hill ......

"Seems to have worked," Ciel seemed relieved, "we have a symbiotic pact, right?" I just found out that the two sides of symbiosis can have a spiritual conversation through a contract when I was looking for materials in the library, so I gave it a try. ”

"Oops~ Miss Hill's voice is still as good as ever~" Yu suddenly spoke, and his tone was indescribably weird.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who is your Excellency? Ciel's voice suddenly turned cold...... Like, still a little nervous?

"Ahhh

"Poof...... Hill laughed out loud, "Xiaoye, it seems that this guy has a lot of resentment about your original evaluation." ”

…… Blame me?

"But can you explain why you are in Xiaoye's body?" After laughing, Ciel became serious again.

"Well...... Don't say~Don't say~" Eater sold Guanzi, "But I'm too lazy to do anything like that...... But if you dare to bully Xiao Yeye, don't blame me for doing it~"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's hope so. Hill was silent for a moment, undeniable.

"Ciel, what's the matter?" I opened my mouth, trying to put an end to the topic that was unpleasant to both of them.

"It's nothing, the main thing is to test the feasibility of mental power calls." Ciel's tone returned to normal, "How are you doing in the forest?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that the gray eats too fast, I can't grab it." I still answered with my mouth, as for mental power...... I still can't grasp the slightest bit of it.

"Gray? The wolf? "Hmm." "That's no wonder, you're a humanoid ghoul, and it's hard to eat faster than a wolf." Hill chuckled.

"That's right." Hill seemed to think of something, "You'll be back in ten days." ”

Every year on July 1st, Duck Academy organizes a trial for students from the outer courtyard to exercise their combat ability and survival ability in the wilderness.

All students who have obtained combat minions in that year will set out from the teleportation array of other schools on the first day of July and survive for a week in the area demarcated by the archmage with an enchantment in the Forest of Bones. Each student participating in the trial was not allowed to carry any equipment except for three magic storage crystals, which also eliminated the possibility of noble students with mediocre qualifications using powerful items purchased at a high price to cheat.

"Today is June 16th, you will come back in ten days, and we will train and cooperate in the extra few days." Hill spoke out her plan.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see. The strangeness in the air made me sniffle, but I didn't say anything to Hildo," see you in ten days. ”

An inexplicable feeling that the call has ended. I drew my sword from my back and held it in front of me to prepare for the impending attack, and even the gray beside me bent down and silently gathered my strength.

The distance is about thirty meters, and the direction is behind the right...... I judged the location of the enemy based on the breath that permeated the air.

"Click." There was a soft sound in the silence of the woods, and a crossbow bolt flew from my right rear, and I dodged the bolt with a swoop, and the gray rushed in the direction of the enemy with a soft shout.

However, it wasn't long before Grey trotted back with a crossbow strapped to his clothes and dropped it in front of me.

Hit the plan. That was my first reaction, and before I could make a move, several arrows came at me from all directions and pierced into my body.

The stinging pain that shouldn't have been there was now stirring my nerves, but I didn't have time to care about the faint feeling, but my whole body went limp, and I just lay down in the grass.

Hopefully there are no magicians...... No sooner had the thought come to me than I saw a fireball fly over my head and blow a small tree at the waist.

Trouble...... Looking at the fragments of the tree trunk that splashed on the side of my head, I began to feel a little uneasy.
