Currently, we had been running for another 3 hours without being able to see any signs of civilization close by.
While there had been a few malicious beasts that had attacked us on the way here, they were all at the lord stage and under. There was only one lord stage beast that was at the peak of its rank, yet even though I tried to communicate with it, it did not respond.
At first, I had thought that the beast must have been in a berserker state, but after analyzing it and also not feeling any bloodlust, the theory was quickly debunked.
According to my analysis, there was something else going on...
