Lies

  For a second, Ning stood there with slight fear boiling inside his heart. 

"Damn that Flood Dragon, It's got me scared. But I need to go get my spear," Ning thought. He controlled his fear and started walking. 

He took a familiar path to the lake. The grassland was wide so he called out Aegis to carry him once more. He had gathered all the ingredients along the way with Hijaka when he last walked through here, so he couldn't gather any this time around. 

Ning put Aegis back into the beast space once he was in the forest and started walking forward by himself. At his speed, it would take around 2 hours for him to cross the forest and reach the water.

He slowly trekked along the way for more than an hour when suddenly he heard movements. A group of people was coming towards him. 

Ning brought out his sword and got ready to fight. However, what showed up was a jumbled mess of people that just ran as fast as they could.
