I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 85: Tailless Wolf (Ellia )

Time passed from the moment we left our first camp last night, and it felt so good that there was some tragedy just moments before, but what passes, let it pass, and now is the time to return cheerful and joyful.

Along the way we were adorned with the snoring sounds of Rhom who had not yet woken up even until lunch had passed, and waking him up is an impossible thing to do now so we just let him go until he wakes up by himself.

...*****...

"Thank you uncle, Rin, Cia, Emma, for giving us a ride, we'll start our own journey from here." Said Luna to them.

"If you need a ride later do not hesitate to contact us." Said the merchant uncle to us.

"Good uncle, again thank you very much for your help." Kie Sahut.

[2:27]

"Hm.." I muttered softly as I stared at my watch necklace.

After a long journey in a merchant horse-drawn carriage, we descended on a trail to begin our adventure of searching for medicinal plants in the forest, of course if we walk it will take a long time and also it is very tiring.

"Anu... What about Rhom?" ask them.

From morning until noon Rhom had not shown any signs of waking up from his sleep, not concerned about his condition I was even worried to see him, he said, how could anyone have slept so long with the noise of the horses and the sound of the carriage squeaking from the hollowed-out road, he was a snorer.

"No need to worry he'll be up any minute." Answer Emma.

"Owh..."

"Let's go, let's go."

"Ookeh brother, see you at the guild all bye bye." I said while waving my hand.

Waving my hands at them, I followed Luna and Kie into the path that led into the forest, as the name implies, this is only a narrow path and full of thick bush grass.

"So, how is Kie what medicinal plant we're looking for is here?" ask her.

"Don't rush Lia, we've only entered ten steps into the forest.I can still even see the merchant carriage from here." The answer.

"Y-yeah, I'm not just asking."

"Are you afraid of Lia?" ask Luna.

"Y-yahh I don't know. From the beginning we went on a journey I felt really bad."

"Maybe it's just your feelings, Lia." Kie Sahut.

"Just calm down, Lia, you told me you'd protect you." Luna smiled at me.

I am indeed a person who easily panics, starting from the beginning of our journey my heart is overgrown with feelings of discomfort and anxiety, surely it wasn't without reason especially when Mori said something about the demons while we were still in the guild, the concern for our safety really did appear in my heart, but quickly calmed me down while taking my shoulder and smiling towards me, I was very lucky to have such a kind and caring brother like him.

While continuing to follow Kie from behind I hold Luna's hand tightly trying to eliminate the anxiety that continues to haunt me at every step of my foot, and also to save space because this road is so narrow, I could have just broken through the bushes to expand the road, but the forest is not that simple there are many insects and also venomous animals in it and it is very disturbing.

"As I recall there's a river up ahead, how about we set up a tent there?" ask Kie.

"I don't mind, it's getting dark anyway and we don't have to worry about the water near the river." Answer to Luna.

"I don't mind either, the sooner we set up the tent the better." My solute.

The further we went into the forest the twilight atmosphere began to appear around us decorating the trees with reddish orange color, and that is where Kie's hair color seemed to blend with the twilight light, we then agreed to set up a tent near the river to camp tonight, even though I didn't like it at all.

"Son, I've collected the firewood."

"Put it in front of the tent."

"Ookay..."

The sound of rushing water, birds, and insects became our friends when we were in the forest setting up tents and bonfires, but it was very unpleasant to hear the roar and howl of monsters on the sidelines of the beauty of nature.

I want to go home and sleep in my bed, but it didn't support me we hadn't even found any of the plants we were looking for and the day was getting very dark forcing us to stay in the forest again, and no matter when I'm going to be in this forest, it's really unpleasant.

"Huhh, we can finally finish this before night."

"Yes... But why only two people?" I asked Kie.

"Because while the two are asleep one will keep alternately until morning." The answer.

"No need to worry Lia everyone just three hours is fine, right?" said Luna to me.

"Then let's vote who is the first to stand guard, starting from.." said Kie while letting us choose chopsticks that already contain numbers.

"... whoa! hehe I got number one."

"I got number three, that means..." Said Luna taking one chopstick.

"Hey!!! why do I have to guard in the middle of the night?!"

"Patience Lia this is a fair decision." Sahut Kie with his sly smile.

Having to stay in the forest without knowing how long it will be like this, and now you have to stand guard alone in the middle of the night with a gripping sound from the silence of the monster forest, and this is impossible for me to do.

"Anu Kie.. Can I change to first? can you please?"

"No. We've made a fair decision..."

"But/"

"... How about we fish for dinner? I have a good fish." Connect Kie while walking to the river bank.

"Hm. alright, some grilled fish would be a nice dinner." Answer to Luna.

"Hey...! how's me?"

"Just calm down, Lia, if you're afraid, just call brother."

"Araghh! why did I take those chopsticks?!"

...✧❁❁✧✿( Kie )✿✧❁❁...

"Hm.. It looks like this place has a lot of fish, yahh. I will catch a lot of hehehe fish." I said while throwing my fishing hook.

Shitt's!

"Yoshh..the good first catch hehehe..."

"Well I just wanted to join, but you already got one."

"Hehe my luck is pretty good."

We were very lucky to have finished preparing all our camping needs before nightfall, and the rest just had to prepare dinner by fishing some fish in this rock river.

And it was only a few minutes when I put the end of my hook in the stream that I got a pretty big catch of fish, Luna was even surprised to see that because she just wanted to fish no exception also with Lia who was still playing the bonfire with her resigned face and frown because I refused to exchange time take care of us hehe.

"Alright it seems to be enough, the fish is also big hehehe." I said while staring at our fish.

"Then let's burn, it's time for dinner." Luna's with me.

...

"Yoshh.. will each get two grilled fish, the rest for breakfast tomorrow morning." I said while distributing the fish.

"Well...! the smell is very tempting." Luna stared at the grilled fish.

"Hehehehe.. good-bye... ahh! it's so good." I said while biting the fish.

"Emm. The meat is very soft." Said Lia while chewing on the meat of the fish.

Luna and I continued fishing until they got enough fresh fish for dinner, and without waiting for long we immediately cleaned the fish's stomach dirt and seasoned it and put it on a small tree branch then burned it lined up near the campfire to the extent that the smell of grilled fish smelled all around our.

After a few minutes the fish finally ripened with a very tempting aroma, without lingering again we immediately ate the fish very greedily because the meat of the fish was very soft and delicious really the sensation of fresh fish that was just caught.

GERR!!!

"It seems like someone else is interested in the smell of this grilled fish." Said Luna while stopping her bite.

"Yahhh... whereas I still want to enjoy it longer...so how many Lia?" I asked Lia.

"It's not so much just 13 tails." The answer.

Grahhh!!

...

"O be silent of the darkness of the night, sir, in the light of STARLIGHT!"

Cling Cling

"NOW LUNA!!"

Shhhh!

A GRAHHH!!

While enjoying the grilled fish suddenly from behind the dark forest sprung many red eyes accompanied by the growl of the monsters, we stopped our dinner and took our weapons.

After counting the number of monsters one of them immediately jumped towards us and quickly Lia chanted her magic spell making an explosion of light that illuminated the situation around us, it allowed us to see clearly what the monsters that attacked us looked like.

The fangs were clearly visible with the spine coming out of his body like sharp spines, huh... it was so creepy they were like a tailless wolf with its front legs that looked longer than its back legs, tailless wolf a creepy monster with a height of about two meters they were voracious monsters.

After the bright light shone on the area around us I immediately gave a signal to Luna to attack them with her arrow, quickly Luna and I instantly unleashed fire magic in the form of arrows right into the bodies of those monsters, there might be some misses about the trees huh… that's a common thing because not everything will run smoothly as desired.

Some of the monsters that were hit by the attack were immediately sprawled and burned to death, while the rest managed to survive because they were blocked by trees and bushes, one or two stabs won't kill them unless you hit them right at their weak point, at least their heads are the most likely part to be attacked, because their flesh was so thick and hard it was very difficult to hit his heart.

"Yoshh... The remaining nine are more, Lia can you maintain this light for a little longer?" ask her.

"I'll do it."

"Come on!" I cried while running towards those monsters.

"Good!" sahut Luna followed.

Seeing the monsters that started moving towards us I asked Lia to keep her light from dimming, meanwhile, Luna and I went with our swords to the tailless wolf monsters who were also running towards us.

The sring!! The sring!!

Looks like Luna is in trouble.

"Are you okay, luu?"

"Slightly less well, I had trouble moving because my wounds were still not fully healed." The answer.

So I see.it's urgent moreover they are very strong.

DUARR!!

"Eh! what's going on?!" many confusions.

This one monster is much stronger than black dogs even though their number is less than that of the dog monster, the sword and my hand trembled withstanding the slashes of the five sharp claws that could tear the flesh apart, likewise with Luna especially with her condition that is still not healed she is very difficult to move as agile as usual, as usual, but suddenly there were several lightning balls the size of a soccer ball hitting the monsters very quickly which just made us both confused where the attack came from.

"I guess who's fighting turns out it's you Kie, Luna." I said someone appeared from behind the bushes.

"Ehhh!! Zoe!!" we were surprised at once."
