Kapitel 84: 84. A Sea of Flames in the Cornfield

The darkness of the narrow path through the dense forest was once again dispelled by white lights from flashlights hovering in the air like fireflies. Three young men in thick jackets trudged wearily, burdened by the heavy weight of their large backpacks after a long journey.

Relief finally washed over them as their feet stepped onto the forest's edge. A vast cornfield stretched before their eyes, and the rooftops of villagers' houses made from lontar leaves and reeds were visible in the distance.

Gavin let out a deep breath, standing with his hands on his hips as he gazed at their destination. "Finally... I can lie down and stretch my legs in peace soon," he sighed.

Kairav shook his head and sneered, "Your body's showing its age now," he teased. "Isn't that right, Baron?" he added, turning to his bespectacled friend. But as his eyes met Baron's face, his hazel eyes widened in alarm.
