At first, the road ahead appeared relatively quiet, but the environment had changed considerably compared to the areas they had passed through earlier in their journey.
Traceless immediately became more cautious as he observed the surroundings… He could tell that they were getting close to the town, but they had to be more careful because of it.
'This looks like a good place for beasts to hide.'
Several minutes passed without anything happening, but then a loud roar suddenly echoed through the forest…
"Roar!"
The caravan immediately came to a halt.
The guards raised their weapons and looked around cautiously, while the merchants began glancing at one another in concern.
"What was that?"
Before anyone could answer, another roar came from the opposite direction.
Then another.
Traceless's expression slowly became serious as he realized that they were surrounded.
'Several of them.'
