Chapter 140: Blood River

After walking for some more time, they reached a river that was blocking their path.

The strangest thing was that it was a river that seemed to be filled with blood to the brim. It was impossible to see how deep it was.

"There was no mention of this river in that Ancient Hobbit's book. Did it also appear after his time? Strange."

Ryder looked at the river with a frown on his face.

"The time of his trip here was too long ago. Maybe the topography changed, or something else happened here," Rale responded.

"Yeah, it's true as well. It's just the blood that shocked me. Blood shouldn't appear out of nowhere," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.

"Anyway, do you have any idea about how we can cross this river? That book did talk about the taboo of flying, and I don't wish to test that personally," Ryder said as he glanced at Rale.

"How about we jump to the other side?" Rale suggested.
