Chapter 1013. Human Elite
All the wolves had left. Before the group of travelers also continued their journey, they gathered up the carcasses of the slain wolf kings, and a few mutant ones, to take with them.
They traveled with greater care from then on, but met no more resistance from the forest’s occupants. Four days later, they found the other end of that place.
When it was time for supper, nobody touched the meat of the wolf kings. They only dined on the mutant flesh.
Han Sen offered for them to eat whatever they desired, but Chen Hu told him, “You saved our hides multiple times back there. These wolf kings were slain by your hands only. How could we ever have the audacity to eat your food, on top of what you have already done for us?”
It was a nice gesture, but Han Sen didn’t really care much for the meat. He could now kill sacred-blood creatures whenever he desired. And besides, with the size of those wolves, it’d most likely take him an entire month to eat them. If they didn’t want to eat them, though, he wasn’t going to push it.
Despite leaving the lightning forest behind, they were still on Ghost Mountain. They reached a valley, eventually, where a rapid river rushed through.
While they held a discussion about which way to proceed, they espied the presence of a turtle riding the stream. On its back was a human.
“Is that a human or a spirit?” Lin He asked Han Sen, who was now regarded as their boss.
Han Sen was able to tell them. The turtle was a sacred-blood creature, and the man atop was indeed human. He could tell that the man had greater strength than the creature he was using as a surfboard.
