Chapter 140 Arriving At The Furvus Grasslands

Three days after the battle against the nine Dire Wolves, the seven wagons arrived at their destination.

Cristopher, who was seated at the coachman's seat, couldn't help but feel anxious as he stared at the vast expanse of land in front of him.

The clouds in the sky cast a gray light on the surroundings, but even this light couldn't penetrate the darkness that extended for miles on end.

"Furvus Grasslands," Thirteen muttered as his eyes scanned the land, where everything that grew was darker than black.

Tiona eyed the surroundings and liked what she saw.

In this kind of place, she would be nigh invisible and invincible, bringing death to those whom she wished to die.

"This is a nice place," Adira said as she, too, looked at the Grassland in front of her. Every blade of grass was the same color as her skin, and that pleased her eyes.

Everyone disembarked from their wagons and glanced at the land in front of them. For a brief moment, they sensed the presence of countless lifeforms staring back at them.

"The moment you step into their territory, you will immediately stand out," Adira commented. "Are you sure you still want to hunt in this place?"

"Of course," Thirteen replied. "Us standing out is actually a good thing, don't you think? Since we don't know where to find them, it will be easier to let them find us first."

"A sound statement." Adira nodded. "So, what do you plan to do now?"

"What else?" Thirteen placed his hands on his waist. "Set up camp, of course."

An hour later...

The group of people had placed the wagons around them, creating an encirclement to block the view of any creature watching them from the grasslands, as well as the plains behind their back.

The campfire cracked merrily as Thirteen added another dried piece of log to keep it burning.

Cristopher, who was assigned to cook alongside Jasmine and Ariel, was busy adding ingredients to the pot.

He planned to have stew for the night, which served as a reward after traveling for three days.

During those three days, they made sure to steer clear of the herds as well as the predators targeting them.

If the wagons hadn't been positioned to block the view of outsiders, their campfire would have been seen for miles on end, alerting the predators, which hunted during the night, to move to their location.

Unlike the other Ogres and Trolls, Brutus and Bruno were now proficient in digging holes.

With them taking the lead and giving orders, it was only a matter of time before they managed to dig holes around their camp.

This would serve as their first line of defense against the threats that might attack them during the night.

Almost all of the creatures that lived in the Furvus Grasslands had Dark Vision.

Dark Vision allowed them to see in the darkness, which was there greatest strength in the Furvus Grasslands.

This meant that these Monsters could see between eighteen to twenty meters in front of them as if they were looking at a dimly lit place, even if there was no light source.

If there was dim light, they would be able to see things as clear as day, which was very advantageous to them.

The light of the moon and the stars couldn't penetrate the dark clouds that seemed to be permanently placed in the sky above the Furvus Grasslands.

Simply put, the moment the sun set, the world would be covered in eternal darkness, which would be unnerving for the people who weren't used to dark places.

Fortunately, with the exception of Thirteen and Cristopher, everyone in their team had Dark Vision.

Even Vassago could see in the darkness, for that was a trait of all Pocopocos.

"So do you plan to hunt tomorrow when the sun is up?" Adira asked as Cristopher respectfully passed her a bowl of hot stew.

"Why would I do that?" Thirteen asked. "Wouldn't it be better to hunt during the night?"

Adira arched an eyebrow as she looked at the seven-year-old, who had started to eat.

Sensing her gaze, Thirteen decided to ignore her and continue to eat.

As someone who could see during the night, Adira didn't know what the boy was thinking.

However, she decided to not pry into the topic any longer and simply waited for Zion to show her what he meant when he said that it would be easier to hunt in the Furvus Grasslands during the night rather than hunting those who lived in it during the day.
