"I— I know grand uncle, but… but… if I hadn't told him that there might have been a way to heal my sister, he would've never went to the forest at all," the young boy said as he started crying once again.
"Shh! Shh! Don't cry. You have to be strong now. Your sister needs you. Here, take this. This spear is yours now," the old man said.
"Bu— But grand uncle, you found this. You should take it," the boy replied.
"Just shut up and take it. What need is there for an old man like me to take it, huh? If you don't want to use it then sell it or something. You should be able to earn a few rops with this," the old man said.
"I… Thank you, grand uncle," the young said and took the spear.
All the while, Ning was trying to figure out where exactly he was. He looked to the right of him and saw a massive forest, and on the left was a massive, empty expanse of barren land.
