Dragon King's Harem Chapter 120. Garden in The Middle of Deadly Forest I

We got on our mounts. Our eyes were on the creepy forest in front of us.
"Remember what I said earlier. We have to stick together," I reminded them once again since being separated meant death. If we let our guard down a horde of low-level monsters was enough to kill us.
"Let's go!" I kicked the side of my mount, ordering him to advance. So were the others.

The sound of our mounts' hooves rang out as our mounts moved through the forest which was filled with dry black trees and thorny bushes. Branches shaped like black claws were sticking out as if trying to reach us. Surprisingly, even though the forest was bigger than the Quiet Wood, we couldn't hear another sound except ours since most dead and shadow elements monsters had no mouth.

When we just entered it, the forest greeted us with a mist that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was getting thicker to the point I had a hard time looking around me. I knew it wasn't an ordinary mist, but the Bone Eaters' poison. If we hadn't taken those Antidotes earlier, maybe, we would have lost our consciousness by now.

I used my Blazing Orbs to light our way and make sure we didn't get separated. Not only that, we kept making a sound throughout the journey, once every 1 minute, to ensure that all of us were still there.

Our eyes were constantly looking around. As I expected, the monsters started to see us as their lunch. Well, it couldn't be helped since we used our fire skills to light our way, of course, they found us sooner. But not using any lighting at all in this thick mist, wasn't a good idea either. We could be separated at any time.

"10 Bone Eaters on both sides. 5 Korosvaty from the front!" I shouted as I caught some large shadows approaching us and several small monsters waiting silently on a tree branch.

"Yes, sir!" they answered.

As soon as the monsters entered my range, I threw my Orbs at them.

[You have burned a Korosvaty for 538 HP]
[You have burned a Korosvaty for 541 HP]
[You have burned a Korosvaty for 547 HP]
[You have burned a Korosvaty for 532 HP]
[You have burned a Korosvaty for 538 HP]

Since I didn't use my support skill, my damage was reduced by half, but I could still kill them in one hit. As the Korosvatys writhed in pain within my flames, Eir and the others killed off the Bone Eaters who were trying to reach us from the tree branches with their tentacles. Just like me, Eir used his Fire skill to kill them, letting their burning bodies fall from the branches one by one. With this kind of environment, the fire would disappear by itself after it devoured the monster's body.

But that didn't mean we could go through everything easily since this time the monsters that attacked us didn't only come from the ground but also the air. Some monsters in the shape of a large half scorpion bat came towards us from the sky. Their levels were around the Bone Eaters, the difference was, instead of Energy, they suck Mana since they were Shadow element monsters. This time, it was Jyne's turn to kill them.

Without slowing down her pace, Jyne raised her hand to the sky. Her eyes glowed in blue.
"Thunder Storm," she muttered. A flash of lightning grabbed the monsters like an eagle snatching a bunch of mice and killing them in an instant.

Still... We took some damage since the small monsters hiding in the ground silently stole our HP.

[Warning!]
[A Rotten Gopher has sucked your HP for 5 Points]
[A Rotten Gopher has sucked your HP for 5 Points]
[A Rotten Gopher has sucked your HP for 5 Points]

Yeah, this type of monster was so annoying since they could suck our HP without showing themselves. They didn't even need to stick their tentacles or anything. Worse... They were usually in groups. What we could do was endure it until we passed them.

But luckily, we had Evelina with us. Once we got past the Rotten Gophers, Evelina raised her staff.
'Mass Healing Light!' Her staff glowed in white and covered us with dim light.

[Evelina Lavinia Iaoth gave you Mass Healing Light!]
[Your HP has been fully restored.]

With our abilities, good cooperation and my instructions, we were able to get past all the monsters to our first stop, where the trees grew. We pulled our reins to stop our mounts as our eyes caught sight of a small garden in the middle of that deadly forest. Several fruit trees were there along with a small house inside the trunk of a large tree. A well on its side. Not only that, there were several bushes full of berries on the other side. Unfortunately, the tall thorny bushes growing around it like a fortress prevented us from getting there. Those bushes caught my attention since they were a rare type of shrub used by a rare tribe to protect their territory. But that tribe's territory should be far from here.

"Am I dreaming?" said Eir in disbelief. Even if there was a Mana flow that changed in this place, it shouldn't change drastically like this. He did expect some trees but not full of fruits like this. Moreover, those kinds of fruits could only grow in fertile soil. There was something wrong with this place.

"You don't. Looks like we'll have to meet the owner of this place," I said. I took out my Blazing Orbs again and threw some at the bushes. It took the others by surprise since it was so unusual for me to do something reckless.

My orbs burned a part of the bush, paving the way for us. But instead of rushing in, I raised my hand since I wanted to check something first. Instead, I let a Bone Eater run into the place. Unexpectedly, the bushes grew back and covered the place quickly as if nothing had happened. Not only that, but it also could kill the Bone Eater by coiling it around and squeezing it to death. It made the other's eyes widen.
