Sprouts

Within the dead forest, Sam and his friends are staying currently.

The next day the group divided into smaller groups of two and they split themselves to do some hunting.

Meanwhile, within the area Sam marked, a large Pre-transcendent stage creature that looked like a Rhinoceros is walking slowly.

This is not a beast though, it is an undead creature formed from the beast carcass and it can be seen from the way there is a large chunk of flesh missing from its body.

But the creature's energy doesn't seem to be proportionate to its size as it is walking a bit clumsily.

Because that morning, it discovered that its energy is being drained out of its body from a point on its back and it couldn't reach any matter where it went.

It walked for a long while and soon it stopped in its tracks and sat down on the ground leaning to a rock.
