Chapter 709: Joining Forces

After entering the Ashenwood Forest, Leon quickly noticed that the trees were quite openly spaced apart on the ground level while the branches above intertwined closely. 

"Let's move up to the branches," Leon suggested. 

Aria and Darlene quickly agreed before they flew up to the branches and continued heading deeper into the Ashenwood Forest. 

"It's not easy to see what's in the branches from below, but quite easy to see what's below from up here," Aria mentioned before she guessed, "If humans have entered this forest, they would be traveling from the branches as well." 

"Most likely," Leon nodded in agreement before noticing slight traces of human tracks left on the branches. 

"There are some dirty footprints here. These belong to humans," Leon stated while rubbing the tracks with his fingers. 

"I wonder if it belongs to anyone we know," Darlene said curiously.
