As they continued forward, he encountered some beasts. One of them was a group of spirit wolves that ran desperately through the forest, their paws kicking up clouds of dust as they crossed clearings and streams.
Another time, he encountered dozens of spirit boars advancing between the trees, their massive bodies crushing bushes and low branches. Later, he saw a group of giant snakes crossing a mountain, their scaled bodies shining beneath the sun as they slithered across rocks and cliffs.
But there was something strange. They were all heading in the same direction. And none of them were following the path of the people Kyrian had saved.
Kyrian frowned slightly.
"Perhaps they're traveling toward the next city..." It was the simplest explanation.
The beasts had probably been attracted or controlled by something and were now advancing toward another inhabited area. But there was still something bothering Kyrian.
