Chapter 452 The Muscle
?The jungle looked like it was the epicenter of all nature and life. Its beautiful green canopy stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air buzzed with the sounds of chirping birds and buzzing insects.
A boot crunched down on a fallen branch, breaking the peaceful symphony.
Moriarty looked down at the broken branch and nonchalantly continued moving forward with the made-up spear in hand.
Ambrose dodged the swaying branches and pressed deeper into the thick forest, following Moriarty through the danger zones.
At that moment, Moriarty raised his arm and stopped in his tracks, causing Ambrose to freeze as well. His ears were perked up like a startled animal.
"I hear the sound of rushing water, and I know where it might be."
Moriarty said, but his voice didn't sound happy, even though they now had finally found a way to fill up the water bottle. His voice was shaking slightly.
Ambrose saw that and asked, "Any danger?"
"Yes."
Moriarty replied and pointed towards a clearing that was not too far from them, where the sound of the rushing water was also coming from.
"How bad?"
Ambrose asked, and he squeezed hard on his made-up sword.
"A slightly above-moderate danger."
Moriarty said, but then added, "However, I have died before because of above-moderate danger."
"I see..."
Ambrose stepped past him and said, "I'll take the lead. Follow me."
Moriarty nodded, and they headed straight to the source of the sound and danger. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin
Ambrose tightened his grip on the hilt of the made-up sword, crossed the empty clearing, and saw the flowing river that lay beyond.
It was a breathtaking sight, with the sun sparkling on the water's surface and the sound of gentle waves lulling his senses.
However, Moriarty's face turned pale like a ghost as the danger alerts started blaring inside his brain.
"It is far from safe!"
"Give me the water bottle."
Ambrose asked, and Moriarty handed it over immediately, but his Danger Sense never stopped buzzing in the back of his mind.
Moriarty gritted his teeth, as he wasn't sure whether this was worthwhile. However, they needed water, and without water, they would eventually become weak and unable to continue.
Ambrose realized that the risk was necessary for their survival and slowly headed down the hill towards the riverbank.
As he reached the riverbank, he noticed a group of wild animals drinking from the water on the other side of the river.
It looked peaceful and serene, a stark contrast to the chaos and danger that the images showed.
Ambrose dipped the water bottle into the river, filling it to the brim, then closed it with a cork and placed it carefully back in his inventory.
"Whew..."
He let out a relieved sigh and looked at the river, where his purple-eyed reflection stared back at him.
At that moment, he saw a shadow dart below the surface of the water, and it was heading straight at him!
"Hmm..."
Jesse looked at the Muscle Defense information, and the biggest con was the inability to move while using the skill. It would make him vulnerable.
"Is there a better way to use the skill..."
...
Ambrose's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he then smashed the wooden sword across the serpent's head.
The serpent fell back into the water and snaked back to the bottom.
"Whoo..."
The steam left his body and drifted away into the air.
"Are you all right?"
Moriarty came rushing in and asked, "Are you poisoned?"
"No." Ambrose looked at his shoulder and saw a slight mark, but nothing serious.
"When you chose this skill, I thought you were lunatic, and I still think that."
Moriarty said while scratching the back of his head.
"But it looks like it came in handy this time."
"I couldn't really use the "real" power of the Muscle Defense."
Ambrose said with a wry smile as what he learned a day prior wasn't meant to be used against a ten-meter-long serpent.
"Can I get the water?"
Ambrose brought out the water bottle and handed it over to Moriarty, who popped open the cork and took a long, refreshing sip.
He then turned back to the river, saw that the danger was going further away, and filled it quickly before backing away from the river.
"We should get moving; I noticed something a while back."
Moriarty said, and he steered his gaze in some northwest direction.
"I can sense many danger threats heading in the same direction. I think there is either big fighting going on or there might be a town of some sort."
Ambrose nodded and looked in the same direction as him.
He then looked at the interface.

At that moment, Moriarty snapped his head around and widened his eyes in shock.
"W-we should run now!"
"What's going on?" Ambrose turned to him and saw him dart away like a missile.
"The heck?"
Ambrose kicked off the ground and sprinted after Moriarty, determined to catch up and find out what had startled him.
But then he felt the hair stand up at the back of his head.
"Huh?"
He turned around to where they had been standing a moment ago and saw the birds fly away in a frenzy, as if fleeing from something unseen.
In that moment, the trees started shaking, and the ground began to rumble beneath his feet.
