The night passed with Jacob and Bryan talking and drinking, but Bryan was the one who talked mostly and told Jacob about all the exciting events of the epic plains in the past.
Jacob has to admit; the guy was a chatterbox, but he also acquired quite an information from him. On the other hand, Bryan brought out the topic of the treasure Jacob was after in the Vile Witch Valley several times. But Jacob brushed it off with some excuses.
No matter how much friendly Bryan was or how he tried to get him drunk, Jacob never let his guard down, even for a second. He just played along while enjoying the free alcohol.
In the end, Bryan didn't get anything out of him and instead ended up giving away, which made Bryan silently flustered, but he wasn't in the position to complain.
At dawn, everyone was at their peak state, and they started to travel again, led by Aven.
In a few hours, they passed the canyon and appeared outside a valley filled with large thick tree veins.
