After resting for a while, and not staying too long in the dangerous swamp, Evan chose to go straight back the way he came.

"It's okay to come out occasionally to capture potion materials as a concoction, but if you run around all day for a variety of strange medicines that grow in the north and south of the world, the time and energy spent will be too much to lose.

Maybe it's still the path of grabbing wealth from the sea and then converting it into all kinds of spiritual resources. ”

Although he had just completed a successful hunt unscathed, Evan was already thinking about getting away from this routine in the future.

The ancients said that cultivation requires "wealth, couples, law, and land", but for Ai Wen, as an apprentice of a wizard, in addition to "wealth", other elements of cultivation at this stage are all hard to find.

Evan wasn't in a hurry.

As a promising naval officer, his future is destined to be in the vast seas, where wealth, treasures, and power will be acquired.

This is also the charm of the sea that has allowed generations to continue to explore.

"There will be milk, there will be bread. ”

Whoosh –

Riding lightly on the fallen dead wood, Aven is like a sturdy cheetah, speeding through the land islands that are not far apart. It may take a day for the average person to travel, but it may only take an hour for Aven.

And when I go back, it's much faster than when I come.

There are no more secrets for Aven after the road he has walked once, where is there a foothold, where there may be hidden dangers?

But Aven's luck was clearly not good today, and the weather changed faster than he could return.

As soon as he left the continuous land island and stepped on solid ground, an inexplicable fog swept through the entire swamp in a short time, and the sky suddenly became dark.

Although it is not enough to reach out and lose sight of his five fingers, it also greatly affects his vision.

After all, the "digital vision" is based on Aiwen's senses, but it does not enhance his vision, and he does not dare to rush unscrupulously in this weather.

Out of an abundance of caution, Evan paused, chopped down some grease-rich branches, made a torch, and slowed down on his way.

Hunting crocodiles had already delayed Aven, and he didn't want to spend the night in such a ghostly place.

The time in the "Digitized Vision" shows that it is now 2:54 p.m.

He had to try to get out of the swamp before five o'clock, or else it would be completely dark before five o'clock in such weather, and he would be in more unforeseen danger.

Unlike the ghost legends that only existed in fantasies or stories in previous lives, this world is a world in which supernatural powers manifest. Knights and wizards have appeared, will those weird and terrifying things be far away?

Evan doesn't want to see the horrors and grotesques that must be real in this fantasy world!

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out on Aven's will.

As the minutes ticked by, the marks he left behind when he came were still clearly recognizable, but Evan felt that the path under his feet had become significantly longer.

It's not the elongation of the spatial scale in the real sense, but in Aiwen's feeling, at his normal pace, he should have left this woodland next to the swamp at this time.

But by the light of the torches, the sight was still gloomy and gloomy, and the chaotic woods that could not be seen at a glance, there were no birds or insects, and the silence was gloomy.

Slowly stopping, Evan had to admit that something had happened that he couldn't understand for the time being.

"Did the ghost hit the wall?"

For a while, with his boldness, he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, poisonous insects and beasts are nothing, and the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment Ai Wen stopped, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes in the canopy around him suddenly opened and stared at him without blinking.

Aven's face was a little gloomy.

This area is clearly marked on the map as a non-dangerous area, at least there should be no super-level creatures that can threaten him, but now Aven just wants to scold the profiteer who sold him the map!

But that's all for later.

The immediate crisis has arrived!

"Plop, plop, plop, la......"

The black pressed a large number of birds from the forest.

Crow!

Except for crows, or crows!

Falcons, the size of trumpets, hundreds or thousands flew up at the same time, their wings joining together to obscure the sky, obscuring even the last faint light source.

Night has fallen.

The scene in front of him was too weird, completely beyond Aiwen's comprehension, and he involuntarily took two steps back, and the torch in his hand seemed to be affected by his fluctuating mood, and flickered a few times.

Meanwhile.

Whoosh –

Streams of cold, damp and strange aromas passed through the treetops and converged from all directions.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

Aven turned his head suddenly, but he took two steps back in an instant.

I couldn't even control the power under my feet, and made several deep footprints in the mud.

Because, on the tree that was close behind Aven, a "monster" was quietly crouching on the treetops.

It had an abstract and deformed human face, wrinkled yellow skin, a protruding nose like a bird's beak, and gray eyes glowing with a little blood that flashed cruelty and indifference!

Hands and feet that have almost been transformed into claws, covered in black feathers, but wearing a delicate wreath around its neck.

Squatting on a tree, like a mutated crow spirit, just looking at it makes people feel intensely uncomfortable.

"Quack...!"

A red-eyed crow standing on its shoulder tilted its head to look at Ai Wen very humanely, and quacked twice, which made people feel even more chills in their hearts.

Crow Ghost Woman !!

Even when Evan was new to the Otherworld, he had heard of the name of this creature.

In Leon's notes, there is a detailed description of the crow ghost woman, but what Leon himself experienced at that time, which Evan is more concerned about, has not recorded in detail, and it will definitely not be a pleasant experience anyway.

It is different from demonic creatures that have formed a stable race and violent creatures formed by the alienation of ordinary animals.

Raven Ghost Witches are not born monsters, they are actually witches among humans!

Unlike orthodox wizards, who gradually transform from nothing to something, they are like demonic creatures, and as they grow older from birth, they are born with the ability to awaken certain supernatural powers.

In a way, they are all natural spellcasters favored by the gods.

But.

But.... Without systematic guidance, learning, and then perfect mastery of this talent, they will face a terrifying risk of losing control while growing rapidly.

It's like a skyscraper with a crooked foundation, the stronger it is, the higher the risk of getting out of control!

Until a certain day.

When their magic power is out of control or they die in resentment, if they are not treated and purified in time, they may mutate with their crow pets and become this ugly and terrifying monster - the crow ghost woman.

What's more, their staple food is... Person!
