'That was young?!' Jack almost blurted out loud.
"Yes, the adult one is at least three times that size," Peniel replied.
Jack was speechless. He couldn't imagine it. How would they even fight such a colossal monster? He shook his head and cleared his mind. There was no need to think about such a thing at the moment. If he met such a monster again, all he could do was run away. It would be better to concentrate on the task at hand. They only have one more hunting quest to complete. After that, they could use the Town Return scroll and go back to the safety of the city.
He continued to lead them Northward. They came to a place that was slightly covered by a thin layer of mist. The soil underneath was saturated with water. As they went deeper, the area covered by water increased, and the water went deeper. The water level was almost to their knees now. The mist also became thicker. It was a hindrance to their vision as they couldn't see their surroundings clearly.
