The Mysterious Mist

A dormant snake wasn’t necessarily not venomous. It might have kept its fangs hidden away, but once it opened its mouth wide, it would reveal its vicious nature.

Kieran became more vigilant under that watchful gaze.

He signalled at his group and kept keeping an eye out at their surroundings.

Everyone else also had their guard up. Nothing happened though.

As the group went through the forest and reached the famous lake of Forende Town, everything remained normal. Even the eyes that Kieran had felt before were gone now.

"Does this only happen in the primitive forest that replaced Forende Town?" Kieran guessed.

"We could set up camp here, get some rest and then continue searching the forest..." Charles suggested.

The group didn’t object. When they had gone through the forest earlier, they had realized there had been a lot to investigate other than the path they had taken.

In fact, they had not even explored 1/10 of the forest.
