The Shadow of Death

After explaining what had happened, Arkas caught his breath. He then struggled to walk towards a huge stone and started digging behind it. Prying away a loose layer of dirt, he dug out a pair of black-green pair of shoes made from beast hide and excitedly brought them to Yang Ling. "My Lord, I found this treasure along a small path!"

Treasure?

Yang Ling regarded the black-green beast hide shoes with suspicion as he took it for a closer look.

The entire pair of beast hide shoes was black-green in color. At first glance, the shoes looked like they were made of Green Python skin. After touching it closely, however, it seemed to feel quite different from Green Python skin. Green Python skin looks smooth and shiny, and feels sleek and smooth to the touch. This beast hide however, had many small motifs close together, making up groups of mysterious drawings. They looked like an embossment, yet also looked like a natural part of the material.
