Chapter 182: Ghost Gorilla
After the chief Bodego gave us a map with the other settlements marked down, we made our way to the closest one the next morning.
It was located on higher ground at the top of a small hill, but there were more home shacks than in the previous one.
We got there by flying and arrived right in the center of the settlement, alerting all of the beastkin as they grabbed their weapons and pointed them at us.
Once again, I was surprised at seeing their primitive weapons that had adamantite parts. Spears with wooden handles that looked like they could break from a single blow but had adamantite speartips that they imbued with magic.
Gina and Carli stepped up to talk to them and told them that we had visited the other settlement, mentioning Bodego so that they knew we were telling the truth.
In fact, Bodego gave us a wooden pin with a symbol carved on it that let them know we were allies, alleviating the beastkins concerns and making them lower their weapons.
This settlement didn’t look as destroyed as the first one, but that was because there were more fighters here that could protect their homes.
They had been swarmed by monsters every day for months, so most of the people in the settlement were warriors and archers.
I asked Vespera and Yoru to check the perimeter of the settlement and to scare away any monster that was trying to get close. Meanwhile, Melina and I helped the people with their homes and added protection enchantments to them.
