Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Pineapple Pine Trees and Bears
System, is this dungeon portable?
I'm sure I read a novel or a manga about that. Something like their own personal training ground.
[System Response:
Yes. It's portable but it eats up mana quite a lot. ]
How much are we talking here?
[System Response:
70 points per hour. ]
Shit. Just the squirrel hideout to camp is 6 hours..
And now that we're somewhere... I don't know! We're lost!
"Okay, so does anyone know where we are?" I asked.
Titan came down from a tree, I think he was trying to see the camp from a high place.
He pointed in one direction, south. And also gestured towards the trees around. I guess if he's gesturing south that means he saw a clue towards the village there?
Now that I think about it, I guess we're still at north? Judging from the distinct trees here, we are.
See the trees here at north are very sparse, down south it's dense, on the east the trees are whiter than normal and on the west it's darker. Most of the trees here at the north look like pine trees, I say look like cuz they do look one, but they bear fruit. And from what I can see, very dangerous and potent fruit too.

Found: Nothern forest
Function: Use to poison, can kill a cyclops with just a bite.
Warning: Do not eat!! ]
As I read that I could also see Leah on my peripheral vision picking a fruit that looked like a pineapple but smaller, like an orange sized pineapple thingy, which fell after Titan went down. When I read the last part I quickly stopped the fruit from going into Leah's mouth!
As much as the woman annoys me, I don't plan on having murder on my hands cuz I didn't stop her.
"Don't eat that!" I said hurriedly, planning to even use Ice magic to frost her hand from moving to eat it.
Warning: High-level predator detected nearby. ]
My heart sank. "System, define 'high-level predator.'"
Fuck. This system actually had an Area analysis? And it didn't bother to tell me?!
[System Response:
Something that can kill you in three hits or less.]
Fantastic. Very Good.
"Uh, guys," I said, gripping my staff a little tighter. "We might have some company soon."
Leah groaned. "What kind of company? The cute, fluffy kind, or the kind that wants to eat us?"
Titan unsheathed his sword in response. It gleamed menacingly in the dappled sunlight, which, I have to admit, was both comforting and terrifying.
---
We didn't have to wait long. A low growl echoed through the trees, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Leah squinted into the distance. "Is that... a bear?"
I followed her gaze and froze. It wasn't just a bear—it was a pine bear.
And judging by the system's instructions, I think there's 95% chance I'm dying today!

I can eat, but I don't drink.
I grow, but I don't sleep,
What am I?" ]
