We hurry to find a shelter to spend the night. With the news we had just received, sleeping in the open will not be easy.
"Just ahead, around the corner from that cave. That should do the trick."
"Yes, but we won't be protected from the monsters"
"That's all right. I'll watch"
"No, Yume, you rest, I'll keep watch"
It's true that this job was more for Naoki, but as I'm in a dream, I know that sleeping is not essential.
"Rest Naoki, you'll need it, I assure you"
"What about you?"
"Stop bickering you two. If Yume, says he wants to watch let him do it I'd feel safer if it was him"
"Huh?"
CHAPTER 36
Thanks to Toshiko's help, it was my job to watch them during the night.
[Notification Log:
- Your Stamina has increased
< Stamina Level lvl 80 > ]
"Well, my stamina level has increased. Can I see my current stats?"
I was leaning on my sword watching for a monster to arrive when I heard a noise.
"It came from over there. I'm going to go check it out."
In the distance, I could see people destroying trees.
I came to accost them.
"What are you doing?
"We are destroying trees, flat it will help us for the next event that is going to happen"
"What do you mean?"
From what I remember, what's coming next is the bats, but destroying the trees will make it easier for them to attack us.
"Who told you to do that?"
"It will be difficult to tell you, that person was masked."
No, don't tell me it was the same person we saw at the beginning.
"If you ask me you'll have to stop if you don't want to die."
"How?"
I turned back. It would soon be daylight.
"Wake up, we have to go on!"
"Already," Naoki said, baying.
"So how was your evening Yume" asked Toshiko
"We mustn't waste time"
So we start walking, on the road we could see dead monsters with bites.
"I was wondering why there are no monsters, but I understand now"
I understood something else. The ones from last night had cut down the trees so that the bats would bite the monsters.
"Don't touch it or you'll get infected!"
"What do you mean?"
"This bite is from a bat. It has the particularity to kill its opponent by biting him"
"But then if the monsters were bitten..."
"I want to tell you right now, it is possible that... "
"It's too late Yume, they're already coming!"
