HPDBC Chapter 25 Journey back
Chapter 25 Journey back
Within a few minutes, the duo found their way back to the usual pathway they take to move back and forth. All the way back, both John and Lucas had stayed silent.
Their eyes were dazed while they carried the Kobold's corpse which was around 60 kgs. But as the weight was all shifted in different places, it was not difficult to carry it back.
They both were checking their skills and the upgrades they had on their status screen.
Lucas had a new skill- Basic Spearmanship. Since he got the skill. Lucas had a better understanding of how to make the spear move without many extra movements. The information was not much but still good enough to start with something.
If it was someone else, the thought of getting information that felt like a person had it all his life was very strange and difficult to see as reality. But Lucas was different, he already had the 'Herbalism' skill that made a lot of information available to Lucas.
Till now, all abilities that Lucas had were only level 1 and he had no idea as to how he could improve. The only option that seemed to come to mind, again and again, was to just go with the flow, keep using the skill, and hope that the skill upgrade comes soon.
In around 7 minutes of a somewhat continuous journey, Lucas and John could see the shelter again.
SIGH
"You okay? We can take a break again if you'd like." Lucas said with respect, he knew John's stats were still normal and with his age, it was difficult to do this much activity.
"Naah, I am not tired at all... but my mind feels like a ticking bomb, I don't know how you are coping with all this," John said while looking ahead near the shelter where they could now see the spears laced with poison as defense pretty clearly.
"What is there to cope about? We were thrown or something in this place and now we gotta survive by doing anything these texts tell us. If you have any other method to survive, then be my guest."
John kept quiet for about two minutes as what Lucas said was pretty much right. They couldn't do anything about them being transported here by god knows how and why. So their only option was to go with the flow.
'Yeah, I am not alone.' He thought while appreciating the gentleness of her hand. While grabbing her hand, Lucas was relieved that she got a skill like a fireball that would help her be a support rather than get injured or use a weapon that leaves scars and calluses behind.
Just like that, Lucas and John sat with everyone and told the short tale of the fight between them and the Kobold. John was very detailed about the plan Lucas made on the spot making everyone surprised and look at him in a new better light.
The camp's fire was exhausted from a while back, the temperature in the forest was cool and breezed. It was not too hot or too cold. The tall trees had a huge impact on the atmosphere making it bearable.

"I can't believe creatures like this exist, is this some kind of a dinosaur we haven't found the fossils of?" Ella said while looking at the Kobold's cold body.
"We don't know about that but everything you see is dangerous, don't think that you can get out of a situation without a fight now," John said with a serious expression making everyone a bit uneasy.
Lucas chimed in, his tone was optimistic. "Exactly. Instead of dwelling on the 'how' and 'why,' let's focus on what we can control. Together, we'll figure out the rules of this world and find a way to thrive."
