3.12

Just as my knees were about to cave, Rusty disappeared into a bush. 

"Hey, why are you hiding now?" I groaned, my eyes scanning everywhere with System's assistance.

I couldn't help but feel paranoid after that fucked up beast came out of nowhere before.

I mean, I'll accept that it was a hybrid of three creatures, but how did it breathe out the fire?

And more importantly, why was that even a thing?

I shuddered, wondering what other fucked up creatures could exist on this planet. 

"Rusty," I called impatiently, no longer seeing the branches rustling with their movement.

The bush was one of many, sitting at the bottom of a cliff.

We were quite far up the mountain here.

With a stretch of my spine, I glanced up to see the bright sun in the sky, so much bigger than the one on Earth.

Giving up on waiting any longer, I stumbled forward.
