The Forest Blocking Our Path (1)

Chapter 54: The Forest Blocking Our Path 1

Nina runs off after her luggage is stolen by a Goblin.

The further we stray from the path, the denser the forest becomes, and the ground is covered with thick, gnarled roots, making everything very unstable.

Behind me, Pauline and Piyo tripped and fell.

"Hey, are you guys okay?"

While we stop to check on the situation of the two, Nina continues ahead.

"We have no choice, Filiana, but can you carry the two on your back? I'll cut the grass in front to make a path."

"Yes, I understand. Please don't fall, any of you two."

I took my dagger and started cutting the grass as Nina did. Sharin, who was next to me, also helped.

Even so, the tall Filiana seems to have difficulty moving forward due to the tall grass that makes it impossible to see the ground and the instability of the footing. She almost lost her balance a few times.

The tough grass also clung indefinitely to my body, my arms were starting to get tired from swinging my dagger so much.

I tried to call Nina along the way, but got no response.

After walking a bit, we reached a slightly open area. However, as the trees blocked the sunlight, the environment is eerily cold and dark.

I went to Nina.

"Hey, wait a second. What are you doing in such a hurry? What if you end up getting hurt?"

"I already told you before, do we have time? Or do you want to die a miserable death?"

I understood what she was saying, but Filiana seemed to have lost a lot of energy, perhaps from walking in unfamiliar territory.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I've been in the city for too long, so my body is a little out of shape."

Filiana laughed as she answered Sharin's question. However, added to the fatigue of carrying my luggage and the two girls, her steps were heavy.

Suddenly, I spotted two dead animals lying in the middle of an open space. Their bodies are similar to that of a bipedal dinosaur, with one side covered in short fur and the other side a little larger being covered in lizard-like skin.

"The first one is called One-Eyed Garuga, while that other one with axe-like hands is called Death Axe."

Just as Filiana had described, the furry side had a single large eye in the middle of its face, the one next to it is larger and had no normal hands, they were similar to a blade.

"Apparently there was a fight here."

We avoided the two corpses and continued walking into the forest again.
