Chapter 369: The bestial roar

As Erik got closer to the cave, he began to move with more caution. As he approached the ominous darkness, he noticed that the air became denser and was tinged with a scent that felt more primal. Since he had been keeping an eye on the beast in recent days and was familiar with its routine, he was aware that it was currently resting in this location.

The cave's walls were uneven and rough, and there were ancient markings all over them from the passage of time.

Erik advanced further into the cavern while maintaining a firm hold on his weapon and a heightened awareness of his surroundings. His torch cast a dim glow that provided soft illumination, making the rocky landscape before him visible. He located an appropriate place and then methodically laid out pieces of the Shadowclaw's meat in the shape of a trail that led back toward the cave entrance.
