章 107: Zombie Empress (38)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Regions)

(The Mermaid's Lake- Forested Outskirts)

"Are you nervous?" Qin Lan quietly whispered as she passed a knife to Liu Yifei. 

The pair were crouched down behind some bushes as they stared at the enormous boar that was walking through the forest.

It was a mutated creature with a large body that was almost the size of an adult human male. 

Thick bone-like tusks jutted out from the animal's lower jaw and the sharpened ends gleamed under the sunlight.

The boar was roaming around the forest while occasionally stopping to sniff the air and rummage around the nearby vegetation.

"I'm… a bit scared…" Liu Yifei quietly whispered as she tried to keep her voice low. Qin Lan placed a warm hand on her back and comforted the young girl.

"Don't worry… it is important that you feel that way. Never forget that every battle carries with it the risk of death," Qin Lan explained gently.
