Trekking in the wilderness was arduous, but the journey did not take long. The physique of humans in Collow was far stronger than humans on Earth. The professional soldiers, especially, were almost superhumans. The knights, lightly armored, could march forward quickly and barely needed any rest. A few days later, Hao Ren learned from Veronica that the border of the plain was near.
No one, including Hao Ren, could see the shadowy forest from here. But the traveler's amulet in Veronica's hands had begun to glow steadily, which was a sign that they were nearing the edge of the forest. If all went well, they would see the iconic landmark between the two regions: the Mound of the Unknown Soldier.
