"We're close."
Within the dense jungle, Quel discerned their direction and then turned to address Ethan and Kadiven trailing behind him.
Hearing Quel's words, Ethan too lifted his gaze forward.
Ahead, the forest remained thick and impenetrable.
Towering trees veiled the sunlight, with shrubs and wild grass carpeting the ground.
Decaying branches and leaves were scattered everywhere, with many menacing snakes hidden amongst them, along with various venomous insects.
However, none of these posed any threat to the trio.
These creatures, while not particularly intelligent, had a keen sense of perception when it came to detecting auras.
By merely emitting a hint of his own aura, Ethan ensured that these beings swiftly retreated, not daring to provoke the trio that was fervently making their way forward.
Half an hour later, Quel spoke again.
"We're here now. This is the entrance to Dragon Garden."
