Chapter 286: A Village
Over on the other side, Himl Soan finally walked out of the woods. It was more like a forest, and a vast one at that. It took him a whole month to walk out of it.
He did so calculations in his head and realized he had traveled nearly 2000 miles since he found himself in this world.
It was the distance between Moon and Neige. That was only the path he took. He had no idea what the total area of this forest was. To find that out, he would need to walk to the other end. It would take him a lot more than a month.
More importantly, that wasn’t his mission. He needed to figure out what planet this was and if Gina was here. That was the most important thing.
Apart from the python, he had run into many magical beasts in the past month. He would ignore those that had avoided him while those obstructing him all turned into his food.
So far, he had collected eleven cores.
Not all the magical beasts had cores, and they all differed in color and size. The only feature they had in common was their diamond shape.
Himl Soan put all of them in his pocket without giving them much thought.
When he left the forest, his strength had recovered to 0.05%. He didn’t do anything voluntarily; the recovery ca automatically through eating and breathing. If he had tried harder, he would have regained at least 0.5% of his strength.
The spiritual essence was so dense here that he couldn’t tell how much this forest contained. He estimated that if he absorbed all the spiritual essence in this area, he would recover 10% of his total strength.
He only needed ten such forests to recover all his power.
After leaving the forest, he discovered that the spiritual essence beca much thinner. But it was still much denser than on Earth.
He continued his journey after clearing his head.
......
On the other side of the forest were flatlands and rolling hills. His ntal force could cover more than 3000 feet now. It was still a rather small range as if sothing was blocking his ntal force. If he could recover 10% of his strength, he would be able to break that confinent.
“There’s a village ahead. I was right! There are human beings in this world!” Himl Soan was pleasantly surprised when he saw a village on the horizon.
With a village, there would be people. It ant Gina might be sowhere in this world. That was so good news!
Himl Soan cald himself down and headed for the village. It wasn’t very far, taking him an afternoon to arrive outside the village. He studied the area before going in.
The sun was setting, and smoke was rising from all the chimneys. After living for so many years, he had never felt so excited.
Never!
He deactivated his ntal force and walked toward the village entrance. Since he needed to make so inquiries, he thought he’d better be polite. Moreover, he didn’t know this place well, and politeness was quite essential.
He saw so children playing at the village entrance, so he walked up to them and asked, “Excuse . Can you tell where I am?”
Hearing his voice, the children all looked up in amazent. They didn’t understand what he was saying, nor did they know who he was. They were simply curious. They had never seen his outfit before. That alone was enough to intrigue them.
“Who’s there?”
“Who are you?!”
A group of middle-aged n was returning to the village while chatting about the ga they had hunted today. They beca nervous when they spotted Himl Soan. Running into the village in a hurry, they hid the children behind them.
Himl Soan frowned. It was obvious that these n were alard by his presence. They were even a little hostile toward him.
He wasn’t offended though. He was talking to the children, and those n didn’t know what was going on. It was normal that they were on guard.
Himl Soan also realized sothing else. The language they spoke wasn’t like anything he had heard on Earth. He couldn’t understand what the middle-aged n were saying, but he had a rough idea. Their deanor and emotions were enough to reveal their thoughts.
That was why Himl Soan could sense their hostility.
“I ca out of that forest, and I don’t know where I am. Could you tell what this place is?” Although they didn’t speak the sa language, Himl Soan still talked to them while gesturing with his hands.
The middle-aged n were amazed. Despite not understanding his words, they got the aning of his hand gestures. At least they knew where he was pointing at.
“I think he entered that forest and got lost, and then he ca here.”
“Bullshit! No one can get lost like that! That forest has no end! We’re the southernmost village. No one can co from that direction!”
“Even the lords from the Chaun City don’t dress like that!”
“He’s a strange man!”
“Shall we kill him?”
