Ben studied the slimes inside the insect-like plants one more time.
He could already imagine a direct fight against them.
It would be like fighting a necromancer.
Every time he killed one, another would rise, stronger than before.
It would be a nightmare.
He was not giving up.
He planned to come back later with Elvira.
As long as he supplied her with enough mana, he was sure she could cast a large-scale spell and burn everything down.
Still, something bothered him.
"Fire is clearly their weakness, so how are they living in a place this hot?" he thought.
His gaze moved back to the insect-like plants.
"Are these things their hosts?
Some kind of hibernation pods?"
He put the question aside for later.
Right now, he had more urgent problems.
His search for water had failed.
That meant it was time to focus on the other group, the team he had sent to track the Ravagers.
Ben checked the mental link to his scouts.
They were still on the move.
