Instead of explaining to Raon and On, who were tilting their heads in confusion, he started to say something else. His expression was serious.
�Starting from today, I am a good person.�
�Why are you suddenly introducing yourself?�
Raon looked toward Cale with confusion. On also looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be asking why Cale was stating something so obvious. This made Cale at a loss of words for a moment, but soon Cale finally started to speak to On.
�On, the path.�
�Got it.�
On�s eyes sparkled before her front paw started to move. The fog moved away following the movement of her paw.
�The fog in here is interesting. It doesn�t seem like regular fog. It is similar to a poisonous fog.�
Listening to the curious On�s words, Cale walked deeper into the fog, even though he could not see anything in front of him. The fog did not disperse, even when it rained. Cale brushed some rain water off of his raincoat.
�Can you see the path through the fog?�
�I can see it!�
Cale followed On�s directions into the forest. He seemed very much at peace, as if he had come for a stroll.
�It would be great if we could meet her today.�
Cale was hoping to meet Litana, the Queen of the Jungle, today. It soon became night time.
***
Litana, the woman who had earned the title of the Queen of the Jungle, was looking out the cave.
It was dark. She could only hear the sound of the rain.
�I�m sorry.�
�Your highness, there is no need for you to apologize!�
�Leader, no need!�
Her five subordinates all urged her, saying that she didn�t need to apologize, but Litana could not help but have a bitter smile after looking at their condition.
They had already been stuck in this �Path of No Return� for two weeks. Although there were no monsters or enemies, they could not see anything in this foggy forest and their supply of food was going down.
They didn�t dare to eat any of the unknown plants of the forest, so they had been surviving off of one meal a day for the last week.
Litana knew what was scaring her subordinates. JrNovels.com
