Kiba and Ruby walked for a mile before they came across a steep slope. The slope was covered with withered grass and yellow shrubs along with a small but thick tree in the center.
The branches of the tree had small fruits red fruits growing up, while on its trunk, there were small holes.
Mutated squirrels were running around, and when they noticed the two human figures, they ran to the holes in the tree.
Ruby followed Kiba from behind as he took the first step on the slope. Her demeanor was calm, but deep inside, she was somewhat nervous but also excited.
After killing the four scouts half an hour ago, she knew a party was waiting for them to walk in a trap. Her excitement was not for the party, but the way Kiba knew about them.
