As Lucien and his group ran through the forest, the mood was getting stranger and stranger.
He and his women could have various kinds of conversations mentally, but the others were silent, after all, they could be considered hostages.
After traveling for five hours, most of the people in the group were exhausted. Jeanne and Mason, who were the less agile people in the group, couldn't run anymore without a good rest.
Unlike the time that Lucien fled Portgreen, now he couldn't restore the group's energy with his essence. Not only were there two men, but the other girls were not his women, so he wouldn't be so good to them.
Without having the fastest option, they would have to stop and rest for a while. They could drink regeneration potions, eat some healthy food, and wait a while to recover.
"We will stop for two hours and then continue." Lucien knew that the group could not continue, so he stopped to set up camp in a small natural clearing in the middle of the forest.
