章節 54: Heartless

Kace gently pushed aside another low hanging branch before he could walk into it. He had a look of thunder on his face as he cursed under his breath. 'Why don't the guys up front just cut them down for God's sake!'

Grugda was faring far worse though, his large body provided an ample target for the vines and branches. He could not risk exposing his magic to make the journey easier.

A metallic smell found its way through the air to Kace's nose. 'It's blood!' His mind began racing as he glanced around nervously.

He missed it during his first two passes but on the third it happened to move as his eyes swept over it. A large feline like creature around eight metres in length was lounging on a high up branch.

It's eyes were blue with black slits. It's body covered in brown and green fur. Giving it the perfect camouflage in this environment. Luckily it was more interested in the carcass hanging from the branch.
