178 Beast

Evie had ended up spending the night in the tent that the men had set up for her while the vampires, except Elias took turns at carrying out guard duty in the area.

As soon as daylight came, the group continued on their journey. Somehow, they had fortunately not encountered any beasts which Zolan had mentioned that was quite rare.

"Now this is strange. The beasts tend to increase in number the closer we get to the heart of the land. Normally, by this time, we should've encountered at least one savage beast by now." Zolan mused to himself while they were taking a break. It was also to give the princess time to eat and tends to her needs. However, Samuel who was nearby overheard Zolan's comment too.

"You're right. It's too quiet, don't you think?" Samuel said as he approached Zolan. His normally serious face was currently frowning as he looked on towards the dark and vicious looking mountains that were ahead of them.
