The two harvested the Ironback Bear's meat and materials and stored them inside Noah's Space Bag.
Of the entire meat of the Ironback Bear, only the part that was covered with the ironback was actually delicious and could be harvested. The ironback was also a great material for making equipment so the two of them took the ironback as well before continuing deeper into the forest.
The scent of blood lingered behind them, slowly being carried away by the wind.
Neither of them seemed concerned about it. They were already used to such a bloody scene and scent.
The two pressed forward through the dense undergrowth, boots crunching softly against dry leaves and broken twigs that carpeted the forest floor. The trees here grew thicker, their canopies knitting together overhead, swallowing most of the afternoon light. Shadows stretched long and cool between the trunks, forming slithering shapes amidst the glow above.
