Pursuer

Lucas grilled a few more meat strips before he felt satisfied. Spot, in his Gentle Dog form, was also satiated and was now lying beside him with a peaceful expression.

Just earlier, Spot had once again walked to the creek to drink some water before he returned beside Lucas to lie down.

Drinking the water, nothing out of the ordinary happened to Spot yet. Still, Lucas was quite wary of the creek's water, afraid that it would produce some unknown effects in the long run.

However, considering that Spot still appeared normal, Lucas lowered his guard down a bit to take a few sips out of the water canteen, just to satiate his thirst.

He actually planned to boil the water, but since he had no suitable container to boil it on, Lucas eventually discarded that thought for the time being.

'Maybe I could take the skull of the beast we kill later on and use them to boil water?' This thought crossed his mind.
