Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Medicinal Plants

Even after a couple of days in the mountains, we saw no sign of any human habitation. We trekked through the forest, hiding amongst the trees and using them as cover against the occasional monsters that passed by. We avoided combat as much as possible – even with Doctor Dorden here, we didn't want to over-rely on his healing magic and sustain unnecessary casualties. Healing magic wasn't omnipotent, and obviously Doctor Dorden would run out of mana if he had too many patients to treat. Furthermore, the forest wasn't a conducive place for resting and recovering mana, or for healing.
