章 131: Jumpy Johan

Exiting the city was simple. Oli kept some of his essence active, allowing him to better sense his surroundings as they soon exited the southern city gate. He sensed the usual foot traffic but nothing alarming or out of the ordinary. 

Now outside the city walls, the party followed the dirt road toward the forests surrounding the Taltin Mountains.

The Taltin Mountains weren't jagged nor were they anything too special. However, they stretched for a few thousand krin, making them a significant landmark surrounded by forested areas and covered in plenty of greenery for the most part. Due to hunters and the city being nearby, it was very rare for beasts at the elder realm to appear. The forests were filled with novice and adept beasts for the most part, while adepts became more common the higher up the mountain you traveled.
