Chapter 354: The Blood Fang Tribe
Plum had lost track of how long they had been walking. The ashen trees of Vulture Woods had blurred around her like a surreal dream. The sunlight filtered through the scarlet canopy in random patches, highlighting strange bushes and other plants Plum had never seen or even read about in any of her botany books.
Usually, she would be excited over a discovery, usually. But all she could think of was about their party’s final destination.
“This is it,” Stryg glanced at the surrounding trees with recognition. “We’re finally in the Blood Fang’s territory.”
“So, what exactly is your village like?” Plum asked for the hundredth time.
“It’s mostly made of log buildings and tents. There are tall wooden walls surrounding the entire village,” Stryg said.
“And each of those walls is surrounded by very sharp wooden spikes, yes, you told us that part already,” Plum said anxiously. “What about the guards? Are they hostile? Because I feel like they would be pretty hostile.”
“Everything and everyone in Vulture Woods is hostile,” Stryg said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
“So what’s our plan of attack, if it comes to it that is,” Tauri hefted her flail.
“We’re not going to the village, hopefully,” Stryg said.
