Maybe the dragon was being slowly wounded by them so that the herb we got could absorb its corpse. According to this, the devourers seem to be preparing for something big." Matt replied.

Both girls frowned as they heard this.

"It seems that the devourers have become more greedy lately. Even though they have much of the world to themselves, they still want more." Alice replied slightly angrily.
