章 269: Wooden Arm

"Are there rare demons in this area? Usually, they live in places not densely populated by humans," Yoichi asked. In his bag was a single empty Demon Tooth. 

"Rare demons? Um... I think there's a chance to find some in the Damned Catacombs, a dungeon not far from our next destination," Takuma replied, once again showing good knowledge of the area.

"Well, from the name it doesn't sound promising. If I wasn't in a hurry to find the blacksmith, I'd take a trip to that dungeon. Have you ever been there?" 

"Me? Nah. I've never had any adventuring companions, I've always done things on my own, and, well, even a country boy like me knows that venturing into a dungeon alone can be very dangerous." 

Yoichi did not respond to that remark. He pulled Ryutaro's map out of his bag and began searching for the name of the dungeon Takuma mentioned. "Damned Catacombs, here it is" - his finger rested on the faded letters of the dot marking the dungeon.
