Chapter 383: Eighty-Seventh Floor, Mystical Beast Treatment (3)
[Heal the mystical beast under the alchemist’s protection. Time remaining: 119 hours 37 minutes.]
I hadn’t placed much hope in my ideas, but after they ended in failure, one thing became unmistakably clear. Although it seemed obvious in hindsight, the core of this trial lay in finding something within the forest.
Still, contrary to how Cho-Yeon seemed to think it would go, it wasn’t going to be that simple.
Given what I had needed to accomplish on previous floors, it would be absurd to entertain the idea that healing the mystical beast could be resolved by tracking down a random weed.
Also, the floor’s description makes it clear who will heal the mystical beast in the end. Me.
That indicated I needed to locate something truly special.
From what I could tell, two major obstacles stood in my way for this trial.
As I had mentioned earlier, it was difficult to pinpoint what exactly would heal the mystical beast. Whether it was an herb or something else entirely, the answer remained unclear.
The second challenge lay in the fact that there could be enemies lurking in this sketchy forest—and they could be far stronger than either of us expected.
Maybe both issues will come into play.
In any case, I didn’t find the second issue as troublesome.
I had just defeated a god. Even if I acted cautiously, I doubted the enemies here could overwhelm me. They could prove to be a hassle, but nothing more.
