"The road at that location is too steep and dangerous."
Zhou Bai laughed when he heard this.
"It seems that you don't need to remind us about this matter, we have a map in hand.
Since we decided to take this risk, of course we wouldn't care about such a small difficulty.
Right, Kelly?"
Zhou Bai looked at Kelly with a smile.
"Don't worry, the hands of several of us are stained with blood. It is definitely more than enough to protect you as a girl."
When Zhou Bai said the words "stained with blood", he deliberately spoke at a high speed so that his seven brothers could hear him more clearly.
As expected, as soon as Zhou Bai finished speaking, the seven crows on the other side of the dining table began to scream "cursingly" several times.
"What's wrong? Are you worried that we can't take care of Kelly?"
When Kelly heard this, she immediately looked at them expectantly.
And they all shook their heads wildly, and then yelled a few more times.
When Kelly saw their actions, she lowered her head in disappointment.
When Zhou Bai saw how anxious they were, the smile on his face deepened.
The big yellow dog lying on the ground sighed and could only come out to help its seven unsatisfactory owners take charge of the overall situation.
"My masters and I have lived in the Black Forest for so long, and we have never seen the evil dragon mentioned in the reward order.
Maybe there are no evil dragons in the dark forest at all."
Big Yellow Dog didn't say anything serious, but most of the people present couldn't sit still.
"What did you say?" Hans jumped out first.
If there are no evil dragons in the Black Forest, what are they doing now?
Are you being treated like a monkey?
Hans couldn't hide his anger on his face.
"It's impossible. If there were no evil dragons, why would the king issue a reward order?"
There was more confusion on David's face.
"Before the king issued the reward order, I had always heard people mention the legend of the evil dragon.
Everyone said that there was an evil dragon in the black forest. It destroyed the mountains and forests everywhere and ate up all the animals that crawled on four legs.
Villagers living near the Black Forest often have their farmland destroyed.
So when the king issued this reward order, all the people clapped their hands and applauded."
Hans lived near the Black Forest. When the little tailor said these words and recalled the legends he had heard before, the expression on his face finally became gentler.
"There can be no evil dragons in the Black Forest. Otherwise, why would the animals that were originally in the Black Forest disappear for no reason?"
There should originally be a lot of animals in a forest.
But in the black forest, besides the lame big yellow dog in front of me, are there any other four-legged animals left?
The big yellow dog and the crow seemed to be reminded of some bad memories by these words, so they all fell silent.
Kelly listened to their conversation and also started thinking.
"When I lived in the Black Forest, I never heard of any evil dragons here."
Hans frowned and looked at her, suppressing the irritability rising in his heart, and sat down again.
"I remember that during that time, there were always explosions in the Black Forest.
After I was... abandoned by my brothers, the Black Forest began to prohibit civilians from entering at will.
Soon after, the legend about the evil dragon began to spread among the people."
Zhou Bai chewed on what Kelly said, and then set his eyes on the seven crows on the dining table.
After Kelly was sent away, entry into the Black Forest was prohibited, and then the legend of the dragon appeared.
Could all this be too coincidental?
Didn't it seem that Kelly's seven brothers knew something in advance and sent her out?
It seems that we still have to think of another way to pry open their secrets.
Zhou Bai looked at the seven crows in front of him, thinking about this question in his mind, and tapped his hand on the table unconsciously.
"It was only after you left the Black Forest that the legend of the evil dragon appeared.
This shows that the evil dragon only appeared recently. It is normal for you to have never seen an evil dragon."
The little tailor felt that he had come to a very wise conclusion.
Zhou Bai glanced at him helplessly, then ignored his words and asked the seven crows.
"Are you worried that Kelly is in danger? You didn't see the dragon after sending her away?"
Kelly's brothers didn't hear anything wrong with Zhou Bai's words, and they all nodded.
Zhou Bai lowered his head and smiled.
Turning to look at Kelly, she saw that tears were shining in her eyes again.
"You sent me away because you were worried that I was in danger.
I knew that was the case.”
Only then did the seven crows realize that they had fallen into Zhou Bai's trap. They screamed a few times and tried to fly away from the restaurant.
Kelly quickly stood up and stopped in front of them.
"Brothers, I have grown up.
If there is anything, I can bear it with you."
The seven crows still wanted to fly away, and Kelly immediately shouted angrily.
"Don't leave!"
The seven crows immediately stopped in place.
Kelly angrily walked up to them with her hands on her hips and looked directly into their eyes.
"You think this is for my own good.
But brothers, do you know what kind of life I have been living outside these past few years?"
The crows were silent and did not respond.
"Have you ever asked me about my wishes before making a decision for me?
Have you ever thought about how I want to live?
I would rather turn into a crow, as long as I can be with you."
Hearing what Kelly said, the crows all screamed angrily.
"Don't say that.
You wouldn't want to live the life your masters are living."
Ah Huang limped out.
"It seems that just breaking one of my fingers today is not enough, right?"
Kelly raised her gauze-covered hand and suddenly turned around and rushed to the kitchen.
"Kelly, what do you want to do?"
Everyone was shocked, stood up from their seats, and chased after her.
"How else do I need to express my wishes?
Is it enough to eat these carrion just like you?
Now that I have eaten, are you willing to accept me back?"
Kelly was holding a piece of meat in her hand, and her mouth was stained with blood from biting the piece of meat.
"That was not what I meant.
Master, that’s not what I meant.”
The big yellow dog limped and fell several times in just a few steps before he came to Kelly.
"You finally admit that I am your master."
Kelly smiled and swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth, but immediately started retching again.
The big yellow dog rushed towards her quickly.
Keep wagging his tail.
Kelly quickly caught it and touched its head just like she did every time she went home.
