Chapter 185 A Welcome Reunion (2)

I acted quickly after forming a plan and had been going between the village and the southern parts for a while. The Green Skin trainees always went through various suffering, and the other clan members were doing their work. It interested me to hear that Gark and Ragia were training together, and she seemed to be slowly getting stronger.

Goff and Black Spear Clans were focusing on developing the East Forest. While they could not go beyond the fog, they hunted monsters and seemed to be searching for beasts they could train like Giant Wolves.

Meanwhile, I was looking around for useful humans that would interest Park Hyeri. I know that she would want a substantial number of strong humans and would react heavily against ambush.

They walked quite a while before sitting down to eat beef jerky and take a break before arriving at their destination. They did not lower their guards, as the magicians used protective magic while archers set trap
