Chapter 220: The Cornfield
Han Dong did not participate in the ensuing squad discussion.
He went to the Manor and Forest Junction area alone.
Beforehand, Han Dong instructed to give the drow an order.
Tell it to be communicated to the drow around the Gain Forest to spread out as far as possible in the manor's border area and monitor the manor's overall situation.
Allowing Han Dong to more steadily control the overall movement of this gathering.
Considering what Mia had said about the [Cursed Space] possibly covering the entire wheat field area.
Plus, the inconvenience of releasing two hosts in front of the squad members. Han Dong was prepared to take advantage of this relationship with the Drows to obtain a temporary scout.
It was also a way to learn in advance how to command these lower-ranked beings to do their work as a 'high ranker'.
As Han Dong approached the border, he set his foot on the land of the Gain Forest.
Grrr~~.
The raven named 'Dozer Drow' from earlier immediately flew in.
Taking the initiative to rest its feathered head on Han Dong's palm, rubbing against it to appear comfortable while establishing a conscious connection.
"Lord, the job you gave us has been done.
Once we detect any abnormality within the manor, it will be me who will act as the communication drow and report to you, my lord, at once."
"Very well! There's another thing I need your help with here."
"Dozer Drow is ready to die at any moment."
"Death not so much, but I'll need you to serve as a 'sidekick' for a while, and go with me to a more dangerous place. The main job is for you to scout out information."
"Good!"
The Dozer Drow cackled in excitement at the news that Han Dong needed its personal help, and its feathers fluttered nonstop.
"Well, come with me."
Han Dong could confirm that the "Drows" could be trusted.
Pets with breath perception, night vision, and the ability to fly can provide intuitive assistance during missions.
......
The Drow lightly fluttered its wings and flew low at Han Dong's side.
Hands and feet hung in the air like this, keeping pace with Han Dong's walking speed.
The squad had slowly gotten used to Han Dong's act of directly recruiting a Drow, and only Wendy marveled at it.
"Sergeant Kenny, let's go into the barn."
"Well! I hope your whole team comes back alive."
Kenny pushed open the front door of the barn.
A bubble-like, colorful surface layer covered the interior, and it was necessary to pass through the film layer to get inside the actual barn.
The entire team held hands and stepped inside together.
Kenny waited for fifteen minutes and similarly stepped into the barn, keeping an eye on the promising group of talented freshmen inside.
Although he said he didn't care about their safety, Kenny couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to these young men.
Boom!
Casually close the barn door, leaving a vicious vulture guarding the upper end of the barn, forbidding any squad from approaching.
......
There is a slight feeling of pressure as you pass through the film.
In the blink of an eye.
The squad was already standing in the central area of the barn.
The small kerosene lamp hanging overhead emitted a small amount of light, slightly illuminating the entire barn.
The rice, packed up in squares, was piled up in a corner.
Some of the cattle that had once been kept here were now nothing more than skeletons on the floor.
Although the entire barn looked somewhat gloomy and the temperature was relatively low, but there were no traces of having been burned by the fire at all.
This meant that Han Dong's group should have entered the cursed space created by the influence of the farm owners, plus the advent of the Dark Age.
In essence, it actually belonged to the "Overlapping Space" as well.
There were certain similarities with the Cass family mansion that Han Dong had once come into contact with.
This side of the space was independent of the original world, but was closely connected to it.
"There's someone!!!"
Han Dong and Abel both looked at the barn at the same time.
However, there was nothing between the gaps anymore.
A moment ago, the two of them clearly felt that someone was spying on them. Moreover, Han Dong still captured a momentary image.
It seemed as if there was a horrible eyeball covered in blood plastered between the cracks, spying on the outsiders who had intruded here.
"Mia. What is the status of the curse?"
"Everything is normal inside the barn, not even the scent of a curse at all. I think the barn should be a relatively safe place, the really dangerous area should be outside."
Pushing open the barn door, the area of the wheat field that came into view had completely changed!
The formerly barren and dilapidated wheat field area has been transformed into an 'extremely lush' corn field.
Why it was described as extremely lush was because in addition to being dense, the height of the corn cobs reached over three meters.
Without the ability to fly, walking in a cornfield would make it difficult for vision to work, and there was no way to know where danger would strike from.
Bringing the Drow with him was the right choice.
Han Dong immediately gave the raven an order to fly high into the air and gather the basic information about the entire cornfield.
Caw.
But.
Just before the drow had flown five meters in height, a series of terrifying straw canes immediately wrapped around the drow.
The terrified Dodger Drow immediately turned and flew back to the warehouse.
The straw roots that followed were immediately and easily burned by the fire magic released by Dempsey.
"Standing in the cornfield the Dread Scarecrow saw me at once! Scared the crap out of this Drow!"
This Dozer Drow was so timid that it hid behind Han Dong.
"About how many scarecrows are there? What other information did you just capture?"
"There's a scarecrow every less than 10 meters apart in a cornfield. Also! I can see about to the east, and there seems to be a larger farm with a small fire coming out of the building."
"Oh?"
Such information is quite important.
There is a higher probability that the family that was cursed and committed suicide lived on the farm.
"Well done!"
Han Dong complimented and jerked the drow in passing.
In this way, the goal of the operation was clear, needing to reach the farm's front yard through the dense cornfield and beware of the terrifying scarecrows.
"In a line! Just follow the lieutenant's plan."
The entire crew of six tied their arms to each other through the tough spider silk that Mia had spit out.
In order to avoid getting separated due to accidents during the journey through the cornfield.
Led by Wendy, followed by Han Dong, they were responsible for gaining early insight into dangerous situations with their small magic eyes.
As for some of the timid ravens, they also used spider silk to tie their wrists together with Han Dong's, keeping their flight low and following Han Dong closely.
The team behind is Mia, one is responsible for the overall traction of the spider silk, and because she understands the curse, can eliminate the curse from the back end of the emergency.
Only, Mia was bulging her little mouth the entire time, staring at the image of Han Dong and Miss Wendy having an animated conversation at the head of the queue, her anger unrelenting.
"Let's go."
Just as some of the squad stepped out of the "barn" and fully entered the cornfield, there were several strange and different sounds from all directions at the same time.
At the same time, there were several strange and different sounds coming from all directions.
It seems that in this cornfield, not only scarecrows are dangerous, but also other terrifying life lurks.
