With Zeldir leading the way, we quickly made our way through the forest.
Even the barrier that should have stopped us wasn’t able to do anything to us in the end.
This barrier was sothing that was created by Zeldir’s tribe using the powers of the God of Night, so it wasn’t as if it would actually do anything to him. Since he was leading the way for us, it was only natural that it didn’t have any effect on us either.
As for why we were leaving the barrier...
"This is the place." Zeldir said after bringing us to a random spot in the forest.
This was a spot that didn’t have anything at all, it seed like a very random spot in the forest. This was the kind of spot that could have been seen anywhere in the forest, so there was no explanation of why the ’pest’ had appeared here.
That was until Zeldir showed sothing when he saw the confused look that was on my face.
"This is the surveillance system that we have set up. If anything approaches the barrier, then we’ll find out about it right away."
"If that’s the case, then you should know where the pests that the village chief was talking about are, right?"
Zeldir just gave a simple nod in response.
"If that’s the case, why didn’t you tell us sooner?" I said while my lip was twitching.
"You said that you wanted to see the place that they were before, you never said anything about where they are now."
This should have been sothing that he should have been able to figure out quite easily, but Zeldir still said sothing like this. It was almost as if he was making things difficult for on purpose...
Or there was sothing that he wanted to see.
So I didn’t bother saying anything as I started looking around the area.
After walking for a bit, I found sothing.
Or it was better to say that it was the divine energy that was inside of that found sothing.
It seed like that divine energy sensed that there was sothing that resonated with it nearby, which was why I felt a sensation coming from it.
Following that sensation, I soon found what I was looking for.
"Is this a patch of corruption energy?"
It was strange seeing this patch in the middle of nowhere like this, but it didn’t seem like a good thing to leave this patch of corruption energy here. Though I had no idea what this patch of corruption energy was for, it certainly wouldn’t be for anything good.
But before I could actually do anything to it...
"What are you doing?" I said to Max as he approached the patch of corruption energy with the tools in his hand.
It didn’t seem like he heard as he was focused on the patch of corruption energy on the ground, so I just grabbed him before he could actually get too close.
"What are you doing?"
It certainly was strange to hear him asking the sa question that I had just asked him back to , but I didn’t let go.
"This is a dangerous thing that you’re trying to approach. Shouldn’t you be thanking for saving your life?"
Max gave a snort before saying, "This is a rare chance to get in contact with a live sample and you’re telling to thank you for getting in my way?"
I couldn’t help shaking my head when I heard this, but I still said, "I know that you want to study this thing, but it really is dangerous without any precautions. If you touch it without any protection, it could make you seriously ill."
"Really?" His eyes lit up when he heard this.
It seed like I had underestimated the fervor that Max felt towards the things that he studied.
It seed like he wasn’t afraid to even use his own body to test things like this...
It was just that I couldn’t let him do that.
But when I was about to say sothing, I suddenly realized that there was soone else that had approached the patch of corruption energy.
I had been so focused on Max that I had completely forgotten about her, so she was able to make her way over before I could stop her.
When she did, she didn’t hesitate to reach down towards the pool on the ground.
"Why didn’t you stop her?" I said to Zeldir and Lupus who had been on the side, but neither of them said anything as they stared at Dorothy.
With the way that they stared at her, it was as if they had been waiting for her to do this.
It seed like there was sothing that they were expecting to see from her making contact with this.
Nothing seed to happen at first, but then it seed like there was movent from the patch of corruption energy. It seed like it was becoming smaller and smaller as it started to move towards Dorothy.
Or it was better to say that it was moving towards the hand that she had used to touch it.
It seed like there was sothing that was pulling that corruption energy into Dorothy’s body.
After a while, the patch of corruption energy completely disappeared.
However, it didn’t seem like Lupus or Zeldir let down their guard as they watched Dorothy. It seed like they were even more guarded after seeing her absorb this patch of corruption energy like this.
When they made it this clear, it was hard to misunderstand what they were doing.
I just watched Dorothy carefully just in case anything happened, but it wasn’t as if I would let Zeldir and Lupus just do whatever they wanted.
After a while, Dorothy suddenly turned around and said, "What are we waiting for?"
It seed like Zeldir and Lupus finally let their guard down when they saw that nothing changed with her.
However, I still had questions.
