Stranded Stranger

Chapter Forty-two: Hidden Portals

Ava and the old man appeared in a forest where nothing else could be heard except for the chirping of the birds and falling leaves, but that peace disappeared and was replaced by the loud sounds of monsters marching towards the city.

"It seems like you're right, master. Those monsters are coming from here," Ava said, hiding behind a huge tree with the old man while peeking at the monsters.

"Do you see that thing?" The old man pointed at the shining hole set in the bushes. "There are probably more than that."

"What do you mean by 'more than that', master?" Ava asked curiously. "Are you telling me that there are other portals in this forest?"

"I'm not so sure, but seeing so many monsters coming out of this forest, it's possible that there are more than this. It's dangerous if they see us, so we better go back before they could sense our presence. We can only fight them by using heavy damage equipment, and I'm still trying to find out where I can buy those equipments," the old man said.
