Chapter 231: Timing (2)
Under the moderately cleared brush and lit campfire, I, having dealt with the wolf, asked the woman about her story in front of the fire.
She, who had looked exhausted, now had a bright face and chattered away about her story while I tended the fire.
“My team members all got eliminated, so I ended up like this while trying to escape.”
I took a cup out of her backpack and filled it with juice, handing it to her. It was a return gift for the food she gave me.
“Thanks. If only I hadn’t met the National Tree suddenly.”
“What National Tree?”
“Plum Blossom. The Chinese National Tree… She had snow-white hair and looked really scary.”
She barely survived, carrying a single backpack, after having her magic and stamina drained by the National Tree, only to almost be killed by a wolf.
She drank the juice with a sniff.
