The game has become a real alternate world

Some dry firewood was still stored around, obviously used as a warehouse.

Kana let a few people wait outside, as it wasn't safe here, and only took Alyris and Bobo inside.

Upon reaching the door, he recited the familiar spell and the door slowly opened.

As soon as they entered, there was a damp smell, but they didn't use any light and proceeded with Dark Vision.

The protective measures here hadn't been maintained, and many of the devices inside were already in a state of disrepair, entirely unusable.

This was a true relic.

Kana's purpose was clear as he went directly to a room and took out a dust-covered stone from a pile of broken instruments. He wiped it, then put it in his bag.

Thus, they had the only useful thing from this desolate relic in their possession.

With the two of them, they proceeded directly to the outside.

"Didn't you find what you're looking for?" The old Shaman looked at Kana, surprised he came out in just a few minutes.

Kana nodded: "Only ruins are left inside, not every relic yields something."

After saying this, he waved his hand: "Sorry to bother you," and led everyone straight out of the camp, as quickly as they had come.

Leaving the trolls with a decent underground area.

Returning quickly, they mounted their Land Birds and began the journey back.

They only rested at night.

The next day, they continued their journey. However, during the morning travel, Alyris frowned and said: "Since this morning, there's been a faint smell of blood behind us."

"Are we being followed?" Raelia asked.

"It's very possible, but this blood smell seems to be just a rabbit's."

"It's simple enough: someone followed us and hunted last night, carrying the smell of blood."

Kana spoke and had the Land Bird stop, turning to look behind them.

As they stopped.

After a while, that faint smell of blood still lingered behind them, evidently halting as well.

They waited until noon.

The person following them finally realized they had been discovered, and the ever-weakening smell of blood began to approach.

Soon they saw a Winged Dragon hovering in mid-air.

"Is it that troll?" Bobo was somewhat puzzled.

The group became cautious, looking around to see if more people were lying in ambush.

The Winged Dragon hovered over them and then slowly descended. It was gentler than it had been the day before.

The troll that had fought with Raelia the previous day jumped down and looked at them.

"Not convinced? Want to fight us again?" Raelia asked, staring at him.

To their surprise, the troll said, "No fight." and pointed at himself: "Lost."

"You can talk?"

"Not clear." He pointed again at what he said.

Bobo translated: "He probably means he's not familiar."

Kana approached him and smiled, asking: "Do you want to leave the tribe, practice martial arts outside, and become stronger?"

The troll was visibly surprised, nodding: "Tribe, small." He pinched his fingers to gesture something small.

"Outside, big, skillful." He opened his arms to show a vast gesture.

Then he gestured muscular arms: "I, her, powerful."

He roughly meant he wanted to leave the tribe, see the outside world, and increase his strength.

"I remember you're called Grey Fang the Wing Walker, right?"

The troll nodded.

He didn't bother questioning how Kana knew his name.

"In that case, join us and experience the wide world outside."

Kana said and turned directly, mounting his Land Bird and moving forward, waving to Grey Fang.

Grey Fang got the hint, nodded, and said to Kana: "Hello."

"Is he trying to say thank you?" Bobo asked.

"Don't worry about it, let's go."

Grey Fang rode his Winged Dragon above them.

A noble flying companion joined their team.

"You just easily let him join the team?" Raelia was a bit surprised, wondering if Kana trusted strangers so easily.

Kana looked at them and smiled: "Just stay adequately cautious; after all, he is alone.

We are also strong enough."

Actually, it was because Kana knew this troll well, and both the relic and the troll tribe at the relic were places this troll led players to.

In the plot, later, this troll roamed the Eastern Wilderness, honing his skills.

Even without Kana, this troll would have left the tribe to travel outside.

Although it was just the Eastern Wilderness, it was not a small place.

Players could often meet him in the wild, and if they encountered him multiple times and built a good rapport, they would receive quests from him.

Eventually, he would lead them to a Giant Camp.

If players were thorough, they'd discover the relic beneath the Giant Camp, and upon opening and carefully exploring, they'd find the Creation Stone Fragment.

This was a sequential reward.

However, this sequential process took over a year for players to fully explore.

The earliest players who befriended Grey Fang would later regret not paying attention to the relic beneath and especially the Creation Stone Fragment within.

What? You ask why Kana knows so much?

Because that regretful fool was him.

This time, it's his chance to make up for past regrets.

On the return journey, Kana and the others returned once more to the Land Bird nest. This time, they took all the Land Birds with them.

Including the chicks, Kana and the others then roamed around the nesting area.

Relying on his memory, Kana nearly lured away all the Land Birds from the entire area.

In the end, they had over 50 Land Birds, more than 130 chicks, and 60 eggs.

To equip each Land Bird with a suitable saddle and make sure they carried their own eggs, Kana and the group stayed there for nearly half a month.

Then they prepared to set off again.

The mighty echelon of Land Birds wove through the jungle, and Kana's Beast Taming experience far exceeded that of the Sculptor.

Despite this, Kana had to keep moving around the entire group to prevent Land Birds from falling behind or starting fights.

"So now the question arises: is there anything Kana can't do?" Bobo asked, standing atop a Land Bird and directing his question to the others.

Over the past half month, they had witnessed Kana's boldness; he had managed to lure away entire groups of Land Birds, something they had never imagined possible.

They strongly suspected that Kana chose this path for the Land Birds, with the two relics being merely incidental.

Even though they had to admit these Land Birds were really impressive.

Thus, the group watched as the Land Birds dispersed around them, a massive flock.

They watched Kana dart around the massive flock, constantly busy.

At one moment, he chased a Land Bird attracted by berries back to the group, at another, he caught a few chicks that had jumped down and escaped.

Alyris helped him from behind.

"Why think so much? Having such a capable leader is great, isn't it?" Raelia said beside him.

Overhead, Grey Fang would occasionally whistle, alerting them whenever a Land Bird fell behind.
