Chapter 95: Elk In Need
Leo half expected the Elk to consume the heartstones to boost its strength. But instead, it surprised him. Carefully, it grabbed a large, broad leaf—part of the Behemoth's fallen remains—and wrapped the heartstones inside it like a bundle. It clenched the folded leaf between its teeth and attempted to move, but staggered the moment it tried to accelerate, one leg wobbling under its weight.
