Many dogs were assembled in front of a crack in a rocky wall, watching it with great unease. On the other side, there was the Savage Land.
They all knew how dangerous a place it was. How many of their ancestors had died to the monstrosities there? Far too many! Still, there were 6 of the random dogs that kept their calm and only hardened their gaze.
As for the husky girl and Old Napolitan, they were probably the ones that were the most confident. The latter had blind trust in him while the former was so curious about the place that it helped her overcome the fear.
Josh gave a small appreciating smile. There were actually half of them that were courageous. This was already better than he had expected. Sure, they were rivals now, but they would be on his side in the grand scheme of things.
One truly sees people's true nature in adversity. One could say that they just panicked, but the truth is different. Had they stayed, the party would have had a higher survival rate. Their actions gave them a higher survival rate by using the others as decoys but likely would have doomed the party.
