The next day, those who were going to go to Jafit gathered in one group. Everyone was extremely tuned, the spirit of determination was in the air. Approaching them, Mark himself involuntarily began to hold his back more evenly.
Along with the reconnaissance group there was also a mechanical carriage, as Mark later found out, it works on formations of many seals that absorb manno from the air, and in case of a breakdown, they can switch to the use of cores.
Seno was almost the last to join, approaching everyone half asleep, as Milana became the leader. Although she is not a scout, no one said a word against it. When it was time to advance, she approached Mark.
"Here, if something happens to me, give it to the Queen of the Monsters Camellia." I have a bad premonition, in the morning the hair is standing on end. Few will suspect you of having this sealed scroll. She said with a pleading look in her eyes, putting a seal the size of a tangerine into Mark's hand. She looked like an emerald with a paw print inside the stone that only a wolf could leave.
Mark nodded without thinking, thinking that the girl was just having a panic attack due to their recent situation on the verge of extermination.
After saying a couple more words of gratitude, he left, looking at her back, Mark could feel lingering stress, she looked like a stretched bow that was at the limit.
"Let's move out, it will start sparkling in an hour." Now is the best time to start going out, all night animals are getting ready to go to bed. And we're not so seductive that they change their minds. Only small fry can bother us, but we all know that they are no match for us.
Everyone shouted in unison - Auf, Auf, Auf.
Smiling at such a spirit, Milana led everyone to the exit.

Time passed slowly as everyone walked through the forest, which was the short cut. The reconnaissance group was attacked three times, twice by snakes, and once by fire gorillas, nothing much happened after that.
Coming out of the forest, Mark felt the heat of the sun. Previously, being in the village, or in the forest, he was under the cover of the shade of trees.
- Well, fry, I already want to go into the shade. Mark grumbled after a couple of sips of water from the wineskin.

You're right, I'm even worse off. I sent only an hour, after raising the rank. Ehu-uu, I'm about to fall if I scream like that again. Waaaa, mumbled Seno, starting to sniff as she followed Mark.
Walking through the arid valley, Mark was once again convinced of the change in the weather. In the world of "Dwarn" there is no concept of a season, each territory is tied to a propensity that can only weaken at times.
This is due to the damage to the core of the world "Dvarn" due to the deterioration of the saturation of manners. This is one of the reasons why the world of "Fantasy and Dwarn" called people.
Although this has many advantages, there are also disadvantages. The main rule is inherent in all worlds. The rule is exchange. People who came from their world will bring ideas that will be embodied in the world, thanks to the ubiquitous mango. It was this occasion that influenced the creation of waves, otherwise it will throw all people here at once, you won't understand what will happen, and so the human people will drop by drop into both worlds, creating controlled changes.
Thinking about this, Mark noticed how the sky was beginning to darken. In just one breath, clouds covered the sky and it began to rain.

A falling body appeared from the cloud, and a gigantic carcass flew out behind it.
Looking closely, one could see a girl with gray skin and creatures that previously could only be seen in books, the seven main hydra.
As Mark remembered, the number of hydra heads is equal to their rank, if you do not take the tenth rank.
The girl that fell at the last moment woke up, made a turn and dived into the ground, as if into the ocean. The hydra itself went crazy at the sight of this, starting to water the whole area with purple mother. A poisonous smog rose that finished off the remains of any vegetation within a kilometer radius.
The group that left the village of Melodiya watched everything with fear, standing on the side of the mountain. Each of the beastmen knelt down, bowing. Only Mark and Seno stood without understanding anything.
A couple of seconds later, the hydra's head appeared in front of the group, one of its heads was the size of a cart that was in the tail, carrying the cheapest goods. There were seven such heads. Slowly, the hydra's body rose above the group to its full size. Previously, it was terribly scary to look at her, but now it was just overwhelming.
The whole body from paws to head was at least three hundred meters. Each head looked at the group with different emotions that played out on its face.
"Graaa, beastmen and outsiders. How interesting, and what should I do with you. I heard that people soaked in our special poison are quite tasty. Oh oh and ah, I don't even know, I don't even know.
"It's better to just kill them and find that girl who ran away with the treasure from the elemental paradise." The longer we pull here, the further this thief.
- Shut up, you're the youngest here. I think we should destroy them to cover our tracks.
- I support.
- I support.
I think it's best to just let them go. Such an ant does not even deserve to fall from the great us.
I think we need to decide quickly. Time is against us.
Each of their heads began to express its own opinion. And it was very frustrating. Since there was no coherence between the heads at all.
It was at this moment that Milana stepped forward. She raised her hand in which was a stone with a piece of red wool hanging from it.
