Chapter 79: The Sacred Beast of Wisdom, the Sphinx Tribe 2

While we are injured, I ended up finding a creature with a human face and a lion's body.

We continued walking slowly behind the cat-woman through the forest. Suddenly, she stopped in front of an area of ​​tall vegetation. There's no way I can go any further in a place like this. Thick trees, long vines and dense bushes of hard leaves stand in the way like a thick wall.

After a while, the bushes began to rustle, even without wind, then quickly made their way through them. It's like hiding a secret passage.

"Come here, be careful, it's narrow."

Although the road was open, it looked like an animal trail and it was only possible to pass by crouching. I let everyone go ahead and pushed the leaves aside to make way for the injured Filiana.

After walking a little, we arrived at an open area. There are a number of tent-like structures made of leaves and fabric lined up.

"This is the village where I live. Actually, we are not allowed to bring outsiders here. But since you saved my life, this is an exception."

The sun had completely set and it was night, so there was no one outside.

We were taken to one of the tents.

"Come in."

At her request, we entered. The interior is lit by the orange light of the fire and the smell of incense fills the air.

A slightly smaller cat-man came down from the pile of cushions that were stacked on the edge of the room. His short limbs and round face are reminiscent of a Munchkin cat.

"What's wrong with you, on a night like this? What kind of thing did you bring back, a human?"

"Well, please calm down and treat them first."

The human-faced cat, of a slightly smaller model, looked in our direction and frowned, making a clearly displeased face. Apparently he is the village doctor.

We decided to start by treating Piyo, who was seriously injured. During this time, I was taken to the house of the human-faced cat who helped us, so I rested there.
