After a nearly half an hour break, the group got up again and continued further into the forest.
''We need to go to the river to the north,'' Emma said, holding a map in her hands. ''Around that area were the most sightings.''
The others nodded, quietly following after her.
Not even three minutes later, Owen suddenly slowed down as his eyes shot wide open.
"What the hell is that?" he asked, pointing to the left of them.
Everyone turned one by one, their expressions darkening immediately.
Several corpses were piled together, all of them goblins. They had been killed recently, but not eaten or touched, aside from some surface-level wounds.
"That's not normal," Emma said, stepping closer. "It's clearly recent, yet no creature has eaten them."
Theo narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the surroundings.
But nothing moved.
''Could it be that a mindlessly aggressive creature did this?'' he asked, turning back to the group.
Emma crouched down beside the corpses, shaking her head.
