Bab 73: Everyone Has Their Own Secrets

White Stone Canyon stretched a few dozen miles. The canyon terrain consisted of steep rocky cliffs, wetlands which appeared harmless but which contained danger from every angle, and a lake with bone-piercingly cold water. Students participating in the training were expected to find ways to overcome the dangerous terrain and make it to the other side of the canyon on their own. Every piece of material gathered or hunted by each group would be tallied into the final results.

Indeed, White Stone Canyon contained danger at every turn. However, it was also a treasure trove. There were wild beasts whose bodies possessed medicinal value and a multitude of rare and precious herbs to be found. One might even encounter savage beasts armed with horns or leathered hides which could be used to make weapons. If one was lucky enough, perhaps one might come across a monster beast. Anyone who manages to find and tame a monster beast to become their mystical pet received much admiration.
