Odis could feel that terrifying thing, whether it was a monster or something else, was right behind her, and she could even feel the air it was exhaling.
But he dared not look back; his spirit told him that if he did, he would surely die.
Ta-da-da~
The footsteps continued to follow at a leisurely pace.
Whether from fear or nervousness, Odis felt herself trembling all over.

But we can't stop, we have to keep moving forward!
His last shred of reason told him that the thing behind him wasn't there to kill; otherwise, if it appeared within a certain distance, the entire team would immediately collapse and turn into monsters.
The truth is, he seemed to have merely been following the group, and only those who turned back slightly were killed.
Odis had the illusion that they were a group of defenseless ants, while the other was an elephant.
When an elephant goes for a walk, it certainly won't pay attention to a group of ants at its feet.
But the ants had to quickly get out of the way and not block the elephant's path, lest they be trampled to death.
The only way now is to move forward as quickly as possible. Odis struggled to take steps with his trembling legs. Some ordinary people could no longer stand, but they knew that it was very dangerous behind them. Urged on by Odis, they simply knelt down and crawled forward, which was faster than walking.
The group moved forward cautiously, and they didn't know how much time had passed; it felt like time had become very, very long.
Da da~ da~
Finally, the footsteps faded into the distance and disappeared behind them.
Odis let out a long sigh of relief, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Go! Keep going!"
After walking for a while, the wind ahead grew stronger, and the thin fog gradually dissipated. They saw the lighthouse and the brightly lit "White Agate" ship anchored in the harbor.
A cool breeze made Odis realize that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
One by one, everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, even extraordinary beings like Danitz and Ellan.
Odis took out his pipe with trembling hands, only to find that he had not brought any tobacco because he had just changed into these clothes before setting off.
He had no choice but to ask, "Who brought cigarettes?"
Erlan took out a pack of cigarettes. Although there was no longer any danger, he still didn't dare to turn around and handed it to Odis with his back turned.
Odis took out a cigarette, lit it with "fire magic," and took a few puffs before feeling much calmer.
At this moment, Danitz, who also dared not turn around, asked, "Mr. Bob, what was that just now?"
Donna and the others also pricked up their ears, as this was also the question in their minds.
"I don't know." Odis smiled wryly and said, "We can only say we were 'lucky' to have encountered something legendary."
He guessed that it was most likely a strange demigod or angel from the Medici family hiding in Bansi Port.
At the same time, He is also the "weather god" worshipped by the natives of this island through human sacrifice, and the source of all the strange events in Bansi Port.
At this moment, Odis was actually glad that he was too weak and that the other party did not take him seriously at all.
Just like a human taking a walk wouldn't care about a small flying insect flying past.
Upon hearing Bob's reply, Danitz did not ask any further questions. In the extraordinary world, one could survive longer by not asking unnecessary questions.
Once Odis felt that her mental and physical strength had basically recovered, she stubbed out her cigarette and returned it to Airland: "Ladies and gentlemen, until we meet again."
Without waiting for anyone's reply, he quickly left.
At this moment, Klein, who was at the front of the group, said, "Let's keep going after we've rested enough!"
He was extremely grateful that he had encountered "Mr. Garr" in the mist earlier; otherwise, had he faced the danger just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable, no matter who was in the last place.
Only after they were all back on the "White Agate" did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that they were completely safe.
After they returned to their respective rooms, Uldi's daughter, Donna, asked the head bodyguard curiously, "Mr. Crivus, between Mr. Bob and Uncle Sparrow, who is more powerful?"
After thinking for a moment, Krivis smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know. Their abilities are beyond my comprehension."
"But Mr. Bob's courage is admirable. Just thinking about the feeling of having an unknown monster following behind is maddening."
"But Mr. Bob kept urging us to leave quickly, instead of running away and abandoning us."
Donna recalled the fear she had just felt and instinctively trembled. She imagined that if she had been at the back, she probably would have been crying so hard she couldn't walk anymore.
It was precisely because "Mr. Bob" was at the end that their mental and psychological pressure was not so great.
...
Odis searched the area near the port and soon spotted Bernadette waiting on the beach.
Beside Bernadette was a man in his forties, clean-shaven, dressed in a suit, holding a cane, a typical gentleman.
Bernadette asked, "What are you doing here? If we weren't waiting for you, we would have left long ago."
Although she was complaining about Odis, she had a smile on her face. In the moonlight, the smile was gentle and beautiful, lacking her usual heroic demeanor.
Odis scratched his head: "Who would have thought? My luck is so bad, just in time for the danger to break out in Banxi Port."
Why didn't anyone pray for me?
"After arriving here, I prayed to you first," Odis said. "But after waiting for a long time without any response, I dared not pray after entering the city."
Or perhaps she dared not utter Bernadette's name, after all, she was only a Sequence 3, and there might be Sequence 3 or Sequence 2 evil gods on this island. It wouldn't be good if that name were used by an evil god.
Bernadette nodded: "That's a very good response."
Then she introduced the middle-aged man next to her: "This is Cyril, the president of the Bansi Chamber of Commerce."
Odis smiled and shook hands with the other person: "I've heard a lot about you."
Cyril was taken aback and was about to ask what she meant when Bernadette spoke first: "Bansi Port is likely to be very dangerous recently."
Cyril immediately nodded and said, "I'll leave with you and never come to Bansi Port again."
Bernadette hummed in agreement, about to say something, when she suddenly looked toward the direction of the island's mountain range.
Odis immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him; the "tap tap tap" of footsteps seemed to appear behind him at any moment.
Bernadette immediately took out the "Sage's Forehead Ornament" and put it on her forehead.
In an instant, the three people transformed into three scrolling streams of information composed of numbers, symbols, and graphics.
Under Bernadette's manipulation, the three streams of information flowed towards the sea at an extremely fast speed and quickly moved away from Bansi Port.
Only after Bansi Port disappeared from sight did Bernadette lead Odis and Cyril into the spirit world and board the pumpkin-shaped carriage that had been waiting there.
At this moment, the three streams of information reverted back to Odis and the others.
Odis then realized that the figure who had made the "clattering" footsteps, resembling an evil god, was searching for Bernadette.
That makes sense. There might be other demigods on the island, but to that evil god, they are all "one of their own." Only Bernadette, the "foreign demigod," would easily attract the other party's attention.
Fortunately, Bernadette had a level 0 sealed artifact; otherwise, she could have escaped immediately, but Odis and Cyril would definitely have lost control and turned into monsters, or had their heads and esophagus pulled out.
Bernadette stroked her chin and said, "There really is an evil god on that island!"
She could sense that the other person was on a higher level than her, and that it had been very dangerous just now.
Odis asked, "You didn't accidentally open your 'Eye of Secrets', did you?"
Bernadette glanced at the somewhat worried Odis: "I know this basic common sense. After realizing the danger, I dared not look around recklessly."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Odis breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
If Bernadette sees something she shouldn't, Odis currently has no way to remove the contamination from her, and the "Fool" doesn't seem to possess that ability yet.
Cyril first looked at Bernadette, then at Odis. He could sense that Bernadette was somewhat different in front of this seemingly sunny and cheerful young man.
I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but I feel like his expression and tone are different from usual.
The carriage first went to Bayam to drop off Cyril before returning to Lasha Island.
Upon entering the Emerald Palace, Bernadette hurried to her chambers, with Odis following behind: "Why are you walking so fast? Aren't we going to discuss what happened in Bansi Port?"
Bernadette said as she walked, "I've also been cursed by the man in the yellow hat. And I just tried it, the curse is very strange, it can't be expelled from the body through information flow."
Odis was taken aback: "You didn't handle it in time?"
Bernadette said coldly, "Do you expect Cyril to handle this for me?"
Odis thought it made sense, so he followed Bernadette into the palace and watched as Bernadette called her personal maid into the bedroom.
Odis waited in the living room, preparing to imply in the upcoming conversation that Bernadette had descendants of the "Angel Family" in Bansi, and that she should avoid the area for the time being and not conduct any investigations.
But soon, the personal maid, pale-faced and trembling, came out and said, "Mr. Odis, Her Majesty the Queen requests... requests that you go in and help with this."
Odis was taken aback and immediately realized that this personal maid was an ordinary person and might not be able to face the curse directly.
It was too late to find someone else now, and Odis was happy to help. He took the dagger from the maid and went to Bernadette's bedroom.
The first thing that catches the eye is a flawless, beautifully curved back.
Her chestnut-brown hair fell perfectly to her back, and those strands seemed to prick at Odis's heart, making him feel a ticklish sensation in his chest.
Odis took a deep breath, trying to stop herself from overthinking.
At this moment, Bernadette asked, "Does it look good?"
Odis came up behind her: "It shouldn't be called 'good-looking,' but 'beautiful.'"
"Thank God for allowing me to see such a beautiful sight."
The "mysterious queen" smiled with satisfaction: "Stop flattering me and get to work."
"Okay."
Then Bernadette felt a warm hand cover her shoulder. She turned her head slightly and asked, "Why are you putting your hand on my shoulder?"
"Borrowing strength," Odis smiled. "Just for the sake of borrowing strength."
As he spoke, he used a dagger to gouge out the rotting flesh on Bernadette's back.
The piece of rotting flesh also had facial features composed of deep red veins, and its eyes seemed to be about to open, indicating that it was in great danger.
Odis's hand moved steadily, scooping out the rotten flesh in one swift motion. A drop of blood flowed from the wound, making her beautiful back look somewhat alluring.
But soon, the wound and blood disappeared instantly, and the flawless back looked as if there were no injuries at all.
Bernadette glanced at the wriggling, rotting flesh, which then disappeared with a squeaking sound.
Odis glanced once more at the chestnut-brown hair and the white back before saying, "I'll wait for you outside."
Upon entering the outer living room, a maid served tea and fruit.
Odis took a sip of tea absentmindedly before suddenly realizing that, without knowing when it started, his feelings for Bernadette seemed to have changed.
When they first met, he was very wary of Bernadette, but later the two gradually developed some mutual trust, and Odis sometimes even became somewhat dependent on Bernadette.
Odis struggled with this, but then he thought, "Why not take advantage of such a readily available powerful ally?" and gave up the struggle.
He then smiled and shook his head. Such a change couldn't be revealed for the time being, after all, the two of them were too different in terms of both level and status.
Odis believed that she should wait until she became a demigod before considering such matters, and for now, she should just be content to be "the Queen's subordinate".
This shouldn't take long, since Odis is no longer bound by any constraints. As long as there are enough resources and he can digest the potion as soon as possible, advancing to demigod status will only take two or three years.
Bernadette had changed her clothes; she was wearing a shirt with a floral collar and trousers, an image very much like Odis's impression of a "modern woman".
Bernadette walked over to them, laughing as she said, "Don't you think my outfit is weird?"
"No," Odis said honestly, "it's exactly my style."
The two maids in the spacious living room smiled knowingly upon hearing Odis's words.
Bernadette, sitting on the sofa next to Odis, said, "If you were an Intis, I would find your compliment disgusting, since their compliments to women all stem from their own desires."
"But since you're from Rune, I'll believe you halfway."
Odis was slightly taken aback: "What if I were a Fusak?"
Bernadette took a sip of her red tea: "They don't have that skill."
Odis said "Oh," meaning Bernadette meant that the Fusaks, a people from a warrior nation, didn't know how to compliment women.
