Chapter 79 Catching Fish
Xavier’s guide walked just a few steps behind him, assisting another cameraman along the way.
At that moment, Hera didn’t dwell on them too much. While getting closer to Xavier was her main goal, her immediate priority was to gather resources to avoid hunger. She was keen on making a good first impression, but she also knew the importance of not pushing too hard, lest it might backfire on her.
After walking deeper into the forest for half an hour, Hera could already hear the sound of rushing water in the distance. Bry’s excitement grew, causing him to quicken his pace towards the source of the water.
After parting some ferns along the way, they finally reached the flowing river. The shore was adorned with large and medium-sized rocks cloaked in thick moss. The scene was tranquil and picturesque, perfectly suited for a peaceful picnic getaway.
"Wow! It’s stunning," Hera exclaimed as she approached the river, watching fish swim against the current.
"It really is! Usually, we’re not allowed to come here, especially children," Bry replied, sounding disappointed.
Hera turned to face him. "Why is that?"
"Um... Because the adults say there are bears and wolves in the mountains," Bry confessed.
Hera was taken aback by the revelation. Even the cameraman seemed startled, taking a step back as if considering a retreat. However, Bry persisted.
"But wolves and bears don’t usually venture out at this time. They have plenty to eat deeper in the mountains. As long as we stay in the outer part, we’ll be fine," Bry explained confidently, his words prompting a loud sigh from the cameraman.
"Furthermore, the adults have installed traps in the mountains to ensure the safety of the livestock from predators," he added.
