669 Travelling To The Next Town

"Ha… I've finally managed to somewhat isolate the lake." The dryad sighed while appearing next to Shiro.

"Mn, what about the liquified essence? What will you do with that?" Shiro asked.

"Since the town is still somewhat polluted, even if I was to return the essence back to the town, it'd only get eaten away by the corruption. Plus, with the lake nearby, it'll be dangerous to return the essence back to the land especially since we don't know what it does." The dryad frowned.

"Well we know one thing and that is that it's highly toxic to spirits. If we so much as approach it, we'll die." Shiro sighed.

"Indeed. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to be spreading but we can't be sure about what it's use is. The best course of action is probably to give up on this area and evacuate the people in the town first then monitor this after." The dryad suggested.
