It took quite some time before Shin arrived at the den. The main reason for that was Terran's speed.
Shin couldn't abandon him because he was one of his vessels. Of course, it was his duty to look after them.
Also, Terran had no idea about the forest because a lot of things had changed in the past 500 years.
The beasts were much smaller or bigger than what Terran could remember. The same was for the trees too.
In any case, Shin arrived at the den where he and Aella lived.
The human bodies that were lying around were in a much worse state than before. The foul smell was awful.
Needless to say, it was attracting different beasts from nearby areas. Well, even such a strong smell wasn't able to tempt the beasts to come towards them.
Of course, it couldn't tempt the large and smarter beasts, but small beasts like goblins and other large ants and centipedes were just flocking around three bodies.
