章 84: (LXXXIV) Ashbourne

After defeating the Desert Wyrm and helping dig out the carriage, Jackson helped the triplets dismantle the humongous corpse as the night began giving away to daybreak. 

It took the four a few hours to completely dismantle the massive beast. Unlike the previous kills, the flesh was stored within his inventory; he had another use for the dense, nutrient-rich meat. 

After all the excitement had died down, they resumed their trek toward Ashbourne, whose skyscrapers could already be seen, eclipsing the rising sun. 

The oasis that Ashbourne was built upon is an enormous artificial lake constructed explicitly to begin terraforming the region, but God's Tower issued an indefinite hiatus on that project. 

Mud and native plants were implanted next to the expansive body of water, and it quickly took root after the collapse; Terra transformed the region itself.
