After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2125

Chapter 2125: Massive Mob

Of course, as curious as she was, she wasn’t going to go there recklessly. She would investigate the danger levels there first, and of course, wait for her husband so they didn’t increase the distance between them.

Calculating, the man should also be in the mountains now. She just didn’t know which side he was in and where exactly he currently was.

If the forest where the Feyun tribe resided could be considered an ’old’ forest, then that area could be called ancient.

It was within the horizon, so it looked near, but one had to remember that Xeno was far larger than Earth. What would be a 10-kilometer horizon view on Earth could go hundreds here, depending on where you stand.

Still, considering how fast people could go, even one or two hundred kilometers could still affect this place.

She took out her scope to study it further. Anyway, the orcs below could handle the remaining mobs by now. She noticed that the closer it was to that area, the fewer paths were created by big monsters or large mobs when they passed by.

In contrast, the density of such paths was relatively consistent anywhere else.

Do monsters avoid that area or something?

As curious as she was, of course, she didn’t let herself remain in a daze for long. There were still a number of monsters left, including a weakened level 30 monster.

She looked at the fights happening below again and saw that two more monsters had come close by. It was a bit sooner than expected, but then she realized that the winds had slowed down again.

Was this kind of thing supposed to happen so often? From her impression, the winds in this area were very strong, even if a bit erratic, 98% of the time.

Regardless, her instincts were telling her to hurry up.

She controlled a few more vines to hasten the process, making them wrap around the surviving monsters’ legs.

The vines she used were the existing vines here. They were larger and heavier than what she was used to, so they consumed more mana, but they were also sturdier.

They also had a denser amount of wood energy inside them, making it easier to control than she thought. Calculating energy consumption, using these ’old’ vines was very cost-efficient.

The monsters lost balance for a few seconds, and the orcs took advantage to finish them off. They raised their bloodied claws to stab at the monster. Some attacked its neck, others its stomach, and then it finally died.

She was about to tell them that she would stay, so she could wait for her husband, when one of the orcs—in the form of Wolf—bellowed. "The wind is about to stop!"

The yell from below resounded in the area, making everyone tense up.

The Wolf was Woleo, Wereo (Bamba the pregnant deer’s husband), and the passive form of his innate skill was wind sensitivity. Althea had expected this skill on a bird-type, but wolves, even in Terran, were indeed known for their sensitivity to wind direction.

Without further ado, everyone prepared to leave, asking Althea to jump down immediately.

Althea was reluctant to leave, but she also knew that it had just become several times more dangerous than before.

This place had a high density of strong monsters. Once the wind stopped, they could pretty much say goodbye to a few members’ limbs and lives.

Althea jumped down and was carried by the largest elephant orc on his shoulder.

They didn’t have time to slaughter the monsters, so they just took what they could.

Althea’s space was the largest of them all, so she took the most meat. Of course, considering how much she already had inside, the free space left was just enough to take in one of the level 20 beast carcasses that had just been killed. The level 30 one was impossible for them to take away except for a bit of meat.

While they were rushing back to the cave to prepare the entire tribe for the upcoming mobs, Althea also did not forget to send a warning to her husband.

[The wind is about to stop. Please find a place to hide before it does. Let’s cancel our rendezvous for now.]

He couldn’t reply to her since his aether letter was not upgraded, but he should still be close enough to receive her messages.

At the same time, they did not have the leisure to completely take their time, so even on the run, and even when apart, they had to gain some progress.

They had already spent a few days here, and they had yet to find a confirmed clue to the target legendary tree. Heck, they hadn’t even gotten a single piece of the mission plant yet.

After Althea realized that the orcs were reasonable, Althea no longer worried too much for their safety, even when they were apart. Sure, it was still very dangerous, but being part of a community could do a lot of good.

[If you find the chance and encounter some orcs, can you find out more about the large, ancient forest in the East? It’s the only anomaly I found so far that could be related to our target.]

[Be careful, watch yourself well, and I will do the same. We will meet again soon, my love.]

...

The wind completely stopped while they were still on the way home.
