I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Chapter 245 - 245: A Journey North

"We have enough water for three days," said Julius after checking. Then he added, "Do you think they are

Unfortunately, the beasts kept eating unhurriedly for the next fifteen minutes, causing Adam to sigh and fire a spinning mana arrow at the one he thought would be the most tasteful.

HIIIK

An agonising strident noise echoed, causing the other beasts to scramble away with unbelievable speed as snapping branch sounds followed their departure.

Without a word, Julius dashed out of the bush they used to hide, grabbed the dead beast, and returned. Then, he said, "We'll have enough meat to eat for a few days. But water is still our biggest concern."

In response, Adam glanced at the darkening sky, pondering briefly before answering, "We can search for an hour. If we can't find one, we'll return to the outskirts and try again tomorrow morning."

After agreeing, they explored the forest, its dense foliage casting dancing shadows as they scanned their surroundings warily in case a bear suddenly left a bush to assault them.

An hour later, the noise of running water finally met their ears, prompting them to hasten their steps in that direction.

Soon, a small stream running across the vegetation met their relieved eyes for a second. Then, with awkward smiles, they simultaneously asked, "How are we going to transport enough water?"

As they fell silent, Adam came up with an idea a moment later. With all the wood available, they just had to build containers.

Without wasting time, the boy cut down a thin tree before dividing it into same-sized morsels. Then, Adam dug into one using a spinning mana drill, creating a rough square crate. Yet, he felt it wasn't enough. Thus, he repeated the process three more times to have enough water to sustain the horses for a few days.

As Julius filled them with water, wondering how they would carry them back, Adam teasingly said, "Show us your muscles aren't just for show."

"Hee?" Exclaimed the boy in shock. Each container weighed around thirty kilograms between the water and wood, meaning he would have to lift a hundred and twenty over such a long distance! However, the real problem came from their sizes and the absence of handles, making them hard to transport.

"Can't you carry one with your mage's hands?" He asked, knowing he could do it with a few pauses along the path. But he was unwilling to waste time when the girls were waiting for them.

"Hahaha. Sure, I'll even carry your dinner for you," Giggled Adam as two sturdy hands laced themselves from mana before grabbing the beast and a crate.

With a relieved sigh, Julius piled the three remaining containers and lifted them without problem before smirking at his big brother.

Reassured after this first day, they retraced their steps, discussing their next course of action spiritedly.
