After finding the tracks of the wild beast leading into the forest near the village, the three left the place, leaving the man to bury his wife and daughter alone, and ventured into the forest.
This time they did not run, but their steps were slow and calculated, for they had entered the territory of the wild beasts. Running would have been reckless and foolish.
Thanks to the surrounding trees, the heavy rain hardly obstructed their vision, as most of it was blocked by the green leaves.
As they advanced, they came across more tracks of the wild beasts, and from their shape, Kael could guess what they belonged to. They were not wolf tracks or anything like that, but hoof prints.
So, several names of wild beasts that lived on Kiran Mountain appeared in his mind. They were: Lightning Boar, Iron-Tusked Boar, Spiked Boar, and Iron-Hoofed Boar.
