402 The Mine

The mountain was deep and the forest old. Nature Village was built in an isolated region, a village that practically mushroomed overnight. Naturally, it had many differences with planned villages that were constructed by the government.

The impossible traffic and the lack of people meant a lack of development. The natural environment was mostly preserved around this village. In fact, at some untouched locations, there were not even trails for vehicles to pass, and they could only be traversed with bicycles or on foot.

The group trekked for almost an hour through the mountains. The neighboring trees became older and more numerous. The originally levelled ground became overgrown with brushes, and that greatly impeded their movement. It was still fine for the few young people, but for Master Five, who was quite old already, even with a young man specifically looking after him, he was hungrily gasping for air.
