Here are a few large boulders, forming a natural windbreak along with the hillside and surrounding trees.
Throughout the journey, Kana had a relatively complete plan from the beginning.
The group began setting up a temporary camp, gathering some firewood, and lighting a fire.
Since the rabbit’s blood had been completely drained, George found it easy to handle.
Anita helped while observing these people.
She could sense that Kana was quite at ease along the way, almost as if... almost like on a tour?
She wasn’t sure, but it felt that way.
It sounded absurd to be so naturally calm in this dangerous wilderness, as if on a tour.
This camping spot should be the best around here, found almost effortlessly and directly aimed for.
But Anita had a bit of an understanding of Kana’s identity, and she knew this country too.
This made Kana seem even more mysterious to her.
Night fell quickly, and the group sat around the fire, the rabbit they caught during the day roasting over it.
Bobo even found some wild herbs usable as spices in the grass around and added them to some fruits they had picked along the way.
The first dinner in the wilderness was quite plentiful.
Seeing that most of them had eaten enough, Kana clapped his hands, "Get ready; we are about to have guests."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, hands resting on the weapons placed by their sides.
"No need to be nervous, there’s still some time," Kana said with a smile.
But the group’s vigilance did not overly relax.
After waiting a while, Alyris suddenly said, "There’s a hint of blood, very faint, slight wounds... Some, some kind of creature?"
She couldn’t tell what creature the scent of blood came from, having never encountered it.
"A regular in the wilderness—Forest Demon."
Except for Anita, no one else had heard of it, including Bobo.
"What is that?" Bobo asked in confusion.
"A type of communal monster often found in this continent’s forests, bloodthirsty and cruel, possessing some intelligence, and they operate at night," Anita explained and added, "Though I haven’t seen them, they mainly inhabit the Eastern Wilderness."
"Here they come," Kana reminded.
The group looked into the surrounding darkness, their keen hearing picking up the faint rustling in the surrounding grass and bushes.
Something was moving, and it was coming from all directions, they were surrounded.
"They’ll attack from the tree trunks, their attacks mostly accompanied by jumps, and their claws are sharp.
Beware of their piercing cries; possessing some Magic Power, a sudden shout in front of you can make you momentarily dazed.
Their bodies are very Fragile, as soon as you hit them, it’s almost as good as taking down the target."
As Kana spoke, he suddenly flung his arm towards a direction in the darkness.
A pebble flew from his palm.
In Kana’s night vision, half of the enemy’s body was shattered by the stone.
As the attack occurred.
Immediately, a chorus of cries arose around them, layered and sharp. Surrounding them, it felt as if they were encircled by countless enemies.
Taking this opportunity, sounds of movement came from the leaves between the trees.
From all directions, Forest Demons leaped down from above, leaping towards them with both claws together, sharp claws reaching down like forks.
Kana dodged effortlessly, the Warrior’s Sword swung lightly, directly cutting one of the jumping creatures in half.
A swift elbow strike to one that lunged from behind.
This strike shattered the Forest Demon’s bones.
The strength of these Forest Demons could not be considered powerful; Level Two was generally their standard strength.
And it was just ordinary Level Two at best, with the possibility that a leader might be an Elite.
Alyris suddenly gathered fresh blood.
The blood of the Forest Demon was a dark crimson hue, forming into a Javelin.
Alyris flung it forward fiercely, the blood-red Javelin cut through the air, piercing through a tree trunk and directly piercing the Forest Demon behind it.
The blood transformed into a web-like structure, binding it to the trunk.
This sudden attack caused the hidden Forest Demon to emit a wretched scream. With this scream, the remaining Forest Demons seemed to feel fear, screaming and scattering in all directions, leaving behind a litter of corpses.
Only then did Alyris yank hard.
The Forest Demon that had become a corpse was dragged over.
Taking advantage of the firelight, the group looked and saw that it was clearly larger than the other Forest Demons.
It was obviously a leader, discovered by Alyris.
"What an ugly creature," Bobo said, looking at the Forest Demons.
These Forest Demons looked very much like monkeys, only with very slender claws, and compared to monkeys, they were even more emaciated.
Their fur was extremely sparse, exceedingly thin, even to the point of being a bit disgusting.
"If you have leisure, you can pull out their claws; polish them a bit, and they make excellent Armor-Piercing Arrowheads.
This leader’s claws can even be turned into small Daggers."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately got to work; it’s not right to fight for nothing.
Moreover, these claws were not difficult to strip and didn’t take up much space.
It’s important to know that many of their Weapons now showed signs of wear.
Soon the claws of a field of corpses had been stripped off.
Then Kana said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you treasure hunting."
