Chapter 242: Lunar Forest Exploration
After I sent Reinar and Jen the sap from the lunar pines, our group started looking for a good place to set up base.
We thought that having a way to get to the Lunar Forest quickly could come in handy someday, but we didn’t want to build a house in a random spot.
Following Yoru’s intuition, he guided us to a place that was right next to a river overlooking the Lunar Mountains in the east and wholly surrounded by tall pine trees.
It actually was a beautiful and discreet spot, which was perfect for our new base.
Before nightfall, we hastily built a home that was big enough to easily house ten people and was still somewhat hidden, thanks to all of the dense vegetation around us.
Its design was humble, with just one level, where we had all our beds and a table. Of course, we enchanted the inside so that it was always nice and warm.
The Lunar Forest at night was quite eerie, as we could hear sounds coming from all directions from beasts fighting each other. Even Vespera seemed more alert than usual.
On the other hand, Yoru expressed that the amount of moon energy he was receiving in the area was increasing his power by a lot.
’Hmm, there are probably other beasts around here that get buffed by the moon and then start fighting each other...’ I thought.
It was a bit hard to get some sleep on our first night since we just kept getting interrupted by the screeches and rumbles of beasts in the area, but eventually, we managed.
The following day, the group decided to split up to look for anything of interest and said we would meet again at the base in a few hours.
