''Ding''
[ Searching Lian ins ]
[ … ]
The system then started to search the ce which Shin had mentioned.
''Ding''
[ Lian ins found ]
This was the notification that was disyed within a few seconds.
Right after that, a map shed right in front of his eyes.
After seeing that he asked, "This ce is quite close to the Land Of Lost Ones isn''t it?"
He waspletely right, the ce that he was seeing the map was quite close to the Land of lost ones. Shin had exited the ce earlier and followed the path which Elvion showed, probably because of that he didn''t end up reaching that ce.
The Lian ins was a ce out of the forest.
Thend of lost ones didn''t have just one exit, in fact, it didn''t have an exit but the people who entered that, if exited, would end up in a different ce.
In any case, Shin had found the ce and now his goal was to go there.
When he took a look at the map shown on the screen, he found three ways that could let him reach the ins.
One was via the Land Of Lost Ones which he denied almost readily. He wouldn''t be foolish to enter the same abnormal ce again!
The second option was a long route. He had to exit the forest first and then walk towards the in, yes, he had to walk on the path that humans took often.
Meeting humans was something that he wanted to avoid obviously because after killing so many soldiers and innocent ones, he wouldn''t like to see them again!
The third and final route that he could see on the screen was a short one. And the benefit of the path was that the den in which he lived was on the way.
This way, he could go to the den and then visit the ins too, it was like a two in one offer.
He nodded his head after finally deciding that.
Well, he had to hurry right now. That was because Ae was not in a good condition at all!
One of her legs was missing and without that, she couldn''t possibly use the Wind Run skill efficiently.
Basically, the extraordinary speed stats that she was gifted with was taken away from her, every time Shin imagined that he would emit bloodlust because of his desire to kill the humans.
He left Balton alive only because he wanted him to suffer for the rest of his life from the burns. Well, out of guilt he let him live too.

-> Your speed is raised by 100%
-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 50%
-> Fatigue will start to get umted by 0.05 per second.
-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20
He didn''t use wind run for now. He just used the skill dash and as soon as possible, he arrived near the den.<sub> </sub>
Didn''t he face any monsters or beasts while running towards the den? Of course, he did.
It was a dangerous forest after all so not facing monsters was unimaginable.
He did face, but they were not worth mentioning. The centipedes and some spiders that tried to cross his path werepletely obliterated. For him, they were no match.
''Ding''
[ The skill Dash has been disabled ]
He stopped in front of the den. Yes, the bodies of the dead humans were still at the same ces.
Of course, some tiny ants or other small insects were lingering around them and on top of them, but no other beast was attracted despite the smell.
Perhaps the fear of the Land of lost ones was more than the temptation of prey or food!
"…", Shin then shifted his gazes towards the empty den that was towards his left.
It seemed lonely, yes, he was lonely and sad.
It was as if something important was snatched away or was missing and that was without a doubt Ae!
"I miss your talks…", was what he said.
Ae was awfully talkative and due to her sudden absence, it was way too silent.
This pained him even more and he only could recall her.
"I don''t like this…"
"I should go and find the clues so that I can find her…", was what he said.
And he was about to go from the ce, but something seemed to hold him back. Each and every time he tried to go look for clues, something was calling out to him.
Due to that, he was forced to walk inside the den and sleep for a bit while trying to remember Ae.
He was worried about her, a lot, so it would be wise for him to go and look for the clues as soon as possible after visiting the Lian ins, but it seemed like his feelings took over him.
He was no fool, but he couldn''t ignore the feelings either.
For a moment, he fell asleep. It had been quite long since he had eaten anything and due to being tired, his body would have ended up in bad condition. Thankfully, he felt like sleeping.
Tears finally rolled down his eyes as if some downpour was urring. Indeed, the only time he had cried like this was in the previous lie after realizing his mistake and the death of his parents!
He slept properly and his body got adequate rest. He woke up after three hours of sleep ad found himself holding Ae''s forelimb.
He had been grabbing it in his mouth all this time, once or twice it did drop from his mouth and fell, but in the end, he kept that with himself.
Of course, the blood from it had painted the den with red, not fully though.
He got up and finally decided to leave the den and go to the ins after stretching his body a bit.
He didn''t get that good a rest, but it was somewhat eptable.
