"You should come back first," Kamiyagawa said to the diminutive old man.
There was no need for a scout right now, if they followed the rancid smell in the air, they should be able to find the big Strange Tale in this area.
"Aba!"
The diminutive old man didn't stand on ceremony and immediately turned into ghostly gas, burrowing back into Fuchou's bronze fitting.
Kamiya crouched down, continuing to explore forward along the foul scent in the forest.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, the view suddenly opened up.
Before him was a steep hillside.
There were no trees on the hillside, just black volcanic rock laid bare. The black rock formed a massive cave which, looked from the outside, seemed bottomless, with the rotting stench being quite overpowering.
Outside the cave, a few ghastly white broken bones were scattered about. There was also a Kyogwan constructed from skulls, about two meters tall, piled up outside the cave entrance.
