As I flew eastward from Ardezia, I can see plants growing at the end of the river.
The river seems to be connected to the sea.

Over the river, I see a forest.
That’s probably the forest that Adofu said, where many heroes lost their lives.
He said that a savage group called the Lithuvar Tribe reside there.

I don’t really know what I’ll find there, but it’s not like I know any other place for me to go to.
Well, I don’t know about the “many heroes lost their lives” part, but that Hero I fought before seemed like he had powers that would rank him on the top…… I’m not sure if I can actually make a living there.
An Ouroboros is tough, so I don’t think I’ll die that easily.
If push comes to shove, I can just fly away.
Adofu recommended this place for me, so I’ll just have to believe that it’s not that dangerous.

But still, this river leads to the ocean…… could this be the same river that swept me when I fell off the cliff?
If it is, then I finally knew how I got washed ashore.

However, I never heard any Lithuvar Tribe in that forest, and the strongest that I’ve ever encountered there is the Little Rock Dragon.
Comparing the creatures one on one, the Little Rock Dragon has about the same rank and status as the Red Ants, so the forest is much more easier to deal with than the desert.

I knew it, it’s the forest where I was before…… I feel like the best option is to follow the river upstream.
Will I meet up with Black Lizard and the Red Orangutans again?
I’m not sure if I should even see them right now since I still don’t know what to do with my〖Dragon Moth Scales〗……
Same goes for the village, if a large two-headed dragon is spotted near the village, a commotion might start.

…… Well, if the river really is connected there, then it’s definitely a long river.
If I just recklessly follow the river upstream and meet them now, they might not know who I am.
I’ll continue to follow the river after I get an evolution that’s easy for them to recognize.

But still, is it alright to level up here……?
From my previous evolution, I already defeated a lot of boss-like monsters before I evolved into Ouroboros Dragon.

It’d be nice if my new Hero title skill affected my future evolutions.
The skill I gained after the Hero died was kind of disturbing, but since it showed up after the Hero’s death…… I hope it opens up a hero-like dragon evolution option.
Should I check it out again, just to be sure?

…… Yep, that skill is still there, all right.
That〖Human Path〗skill, is it one of the six paths?
I think I remember someone quoting something like that in Buddhism.
Why was it called like that again…… nah, I won’t get anywhere thinking about that.
Though, I don’t really know what it all means, but if it really is six paths, then that means there are five others like it.
I honestly don’t want to get too involved in this.

Still, my status has insanely high numbers.
My level isn’t close to reaching its max yet, doesn’t that mean if I level up, those numbers are just going to get higher?! Even though I just decided to level up now.
Is there even anyone here who can beat me?
I missed those times when my status were still below 300.
And now, my HP is 1500! It’s 1500, you know!
A+ is probably the highest rank.

Once I’m in the forest, I better start figuring out what〖Fake Life〗and〖Human Path〗are.
When I’m done with that, I’ll think about how to deal with food and shelter.
It would be nice if I find something delicious.
