Bab 1047: Chapter 1040: Remains in the Woods

"It seems we'll only know by conducting a field inspection," Cheng Ziang said.

"Yes, that's right. Are we almost there?" Luo'er nodded, and then turned to ask Taran.

"Mhm, just up ahead. Look, that's where I encountered that hunter!" Taran pointed to a clearing in the woods.

Following Taran to the clearing, he pointed at the trunk of a tree, saying excitedly, "He was lying right here, and then I traded my bullets for his prey. He told me that if I went further I would run into those terrifying fellows."

"Have you seen those fellows?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"No," Taran shook his head, somewhat ashamed, "I'm a coward, I didn't dare go there, and after hearing what the hunter said, I took the prey and went back."

"That's not cowardice, that's being quick-witted. Knowing that there's danger ahead and still marching on, that's what a real fool does," Cheng Ziang said with a reassuring smile.
