Chapter 60: [Bonus chapter] The Hunt in the Forest! (3) [Kobold camp!]

With urgency guiding their every move, Auric and Sam advanced through the forest, their breaths audible amid the rustling leaves and distant creature calls.

"Huff, huff..." Sam's breathing was heavy, mirroring the intensity of their swift pace. As they continued, Auric suddenly issued a warning, his voice tense with alertness:

"Sam, be prepared! There may be a group of kobolds ahead!"

Surprised, Sam asked, "How did you know?"

Auric's response was partially truthful and cautious, "I spotted tracks."

Indeed, the system's map had revealed the presence of kobolds, and Auric had also noticed their tracks on the ground. His strategic thinking and reliance on the system's insights guided their actions as they swiftly maneuvered through the dense undergrowth.
