With a final look back at the two 'sleeping' figures, Kellen, Gwen and Bree made their way into the denser forest. Kellen was prepared for when the density of the poison hit his clothes, his suit and his mask but he could tell that the girls tied to him from behind struggled a bit.
They had decided on a flipped formation since Kellen knew this area better compared to Gwen and Bree. They were also quite tight to each other, unlike before. Gwen was just supposed to get through this, as was Bree.
Kellen was fairly certain that once they got through the forest they would be able to breathe with relative ease. He was viewing the forest itself as a deterrent from coming into this area. The 'rough terrain' before a boss battle.
The first little bit while everyone adjusted to how to breathe and what had to be the new normal was rough, but after about an hour of walking through the eerie silence, everyone adjusted.
