Agenda

Our group rested under the 'shade' of a low-hanging tree. Although there was barely any shade here since everything was abysmally dark. It still provided a darker cover for us.

This small shade is enough to help us cover our presence from the predators roaming about in the Dark Garden.

Kyuu suddenly came out from my cloak and peeked out, looking around. 

The soldiers were stressed as they saw the Dark Beast emerging once again. In this region that is darker than anywhere, the Dark Beasts usually can grow powerful, and Kyuu seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. 

His body has very little need for Qi and seems like it is enjoying the atmosphere here.

It then jumped down, looked at me, and at the distance.

"You want to hunt?" I asked it.

Kyu nodded.

"Then go ahead, but make sure you stay close, if you feel that you're in danger, call out to us or come towards me," I said.
