Without knowing when, the time for the warriors to return from patrol had arrived.
Eric jumped out of the tunnel, stood on his tiptoes to look around, but saw absolutely no sign of anyone.
He didn't believe his eyes, so he lay flat on the ground to listen, but also didn't hear the familiar footsteps of the Snow Wolf group.
Looking at the position of the sun, Eric felt something was strange. Why hadn't they returned today? Usually, by this time they would have arrived, or even earlier. Could it be they encountered some high-level magical beast and got held up?
Carrying this doubt, Eric told everyone to take a break and go eat lunch first. He also led his tail, Arthur, to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs.
"Strange, why isn't Max back yet? Did they encounter a formidable magical beast? It's been a long time since I went hunting; my hands and feet are itching," Sam ate a few bites hurriedly to finish his meal, speaking with some doubt to Eric sitting next to him.
