After the group had rested for a while, they all got up, ready to progress further into the lush, green forest.
Before they left the scene of their previous intense battle, Kaelyn took out a small, gleaming knife. She knelt beside the fallen Mosslurker's body, her movements precise and methodical. With a surgeon's precision, she carefully dissected the creature's thick, moss-covered abdomen. Her hands were steady as she extracted a large, glistening gland from its body and gently placed it in a storage pouch hanging from her belt.
This was the poison gland of the monster, the very organ where it stored the potent poison used in its earlier attacks. This gland was highly prized in alchemy. Although it was the only valuable part of this particular monster, it was rare and could fetch a significant amount of money when sold in the market.
