The wolf pack that continued without Shin, soon enough entered the Forest of Miracles. After crossing the river, one had to walk for about ten minutes to finally reach the forest of miracles. And yes, they had already arrived.
Deoras and others were fearless right now. That's because they had Shin's backing. But yes, his absence did make a few of them worry.
Right now, the strongest in the pack was Deoras, and following him were Terran, Raka, and Aella. And the weakest one was among the shadow wolves. But the weakest one with a name was none other than Alira. She was previously level 29 when she met Shin, but then she showed exponential growth after hunting a lot of beasts.
Yes, right now she was at level 38. Still, she was one of the weakest.
In any case, the forest was chilling. It was already nighttime. All of them had walked a lot. Deoras thought about sleeping in the open right now and resting for a while.
Although Wolves were beasts that would usually hunt during nighttime and sleep or rest during the day, after meeting Shin, their actions had been changed a lot. It could partly be because Shin behaved somewhat like a human.
Right now, they decided to rest as per Deoras' order. Yes, he didn't decide this on his own, he used the skill Telepathy to contact Shin to ask if they could rest.
'Your Highness…', Deoras used his skill Telepathy.
'Yea, what is it Deoras?', Shin answered in return by using Telepathy.
Deoras then explained how it was night and he wanted to let others rest as they had been exhausted. Also, it was time for their sleep and thus they couldn't continue any longer.
Before answering Deoras, Shin asked, 'Can you describe your surroundings…?'
Deoras looked around him only to find many trees. There were some large and some small trees with a lot of leaves. They looked quite normal.
Deoras described this to Shin right after which Shin said, 'Then, walk for another mile. When you find an area which is not surrounded with any trees, only then start resting.'
'As you wish, your highness.'

Shin was being cautious and was ensuring their safety. Since it was night, one couldn't tell from which direction danger would approach.
Despite having good vision and sense of smell, the wolves could easily be killed if there was a high level of being residing in the trees. Also, the trees are considered to be territories of not just some pun insects or birds, even deadly and strong snakes reside. Monkeys were some other mischievous and strong beasts that resided on the trees.
Due to this, Shin asked Deoras to find an open location. That way, there would be almost zero percent chances of attacking sneakily.
Deoras did as he was told. He walked a little further after relaying the message to everyone and found an open location. As per Shin's orders, they decided to rest here.
Of course, they didn't have anything to eat, but they slept somehow. A few of them changed shifts and guarded despite the hunger, but they managed it somehow.
Regardless, they still had to walk for another two days before they could reach the designated place. Shin had planned to re-join them by the time the second day passed.

"Hey Blanca…", Shin called out to Blanca who had accepted his defeat and was basically trying to sleep right now. It was nighttime after all and it needed some rest.
Also, it had lost its family, so it needed some time to get rid of that weird feeling that continuously tightened his chest!
Shin looked at him and then continued, "I want an item from you…"
That was all that Shin need to say. Blanca all of a sudden looked towards him and then his eyes started to glow.
Right after that, a small circle was formed in front of him. The circle then turned white and started to glow with bright white light right after which, from it, an item dropped.
"You want that right? You can take it…", Blanca said as if he didn't care about it.
He continued to stare at the sky as the circle disappeared leaving behind the item that Shin required the most!
It seemed like a small box but when Shin opened it, he found three stones in it. All the stones had three stars drawn on them.
'This…?'
The notification popped up right away.

But he wasn't so sure about the second reward, that is, making Blanca his subordinate. He wanted to ask Blanca about it, but he seemed quite uncooperative.
Shin thought about consoling him first.
"Blanca…"
"Life and death is just a matter of chance…"
"You should…", and before he could continue, he suddenly recalled something.
[ Levels to revive: 1/100 ]
Yes, he recalled these words which he had seen levitating on top of undead that he summoned.
"Blanca!", he raised his voice.
Blanca was startled. He again turned towards Shin.
"Yes?", Blanca didn't seem that interested in what Shin was going to talk about.
"…"
"I think I can revive your family.", Shin said.
"…"
