327 Great Forest 1 (2/2)

Anyway, out of the many monsters from myths, dragons were one of the most sought after monsters known to reside within the Great Forest.

”Let's get away from the area. The Leylac smell is almost gone, so other monsters will come for the bodies. Let's head down here; there seems to be a creek. We can rest there.”

Graham was very good at finding places and spots within the forest. The party soon found a small stream. As they got to the water, Jinpok carefully lowered the man on his back. It was the man that they had patched up. His wounds were healed but he had lost too much blood and was still unconscious.

”The water smells bad. It doesn't seem to be good to use on wounds. I can smell various monsters and animals. And feces.”

Everyone frowned as Doral said the water was not fit to drink. Joonbum spoke.

”Let's start a fire and boil it. We're not wounded, so we'll clean using the water first, and clean again with boiled water later.”

”Yeah. I need to wash.”

Jinpok began gathering wood for the fire. Soon, a small fire was started and after the water was boiled, they let it cool down before they all began to clean themselves.

”Aaaaargh!”

When the party was about to start eating, the man woke up, seemingly in a panic as he screamed in fear. After a while, he calmed down and became silent and looked at the party.

All of them just looked at him silently as the man finally laid eyes on Graham.

”Oh! You're finally awake. I really hoped that you would survive.”
