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—likely from the Behemoth's fallen remains—and wrapped the heartstones inside it, forming a neat bundle. It clamped the folded leaf between its teeth and tried to move but staggered the moment it tried to accelerate, one leg wobbling under its weight.
Seeing that, Leo made a quick decision.
Since he had no intention of killing it, offering some healing wouldn't hurt—and earning the goodwill of a Low 3-star beast, practically the king of this region, could only work in his favor.
He stepped forward slowly.
But the Elk sensed him immediately.
Its posture straightened; its breath sharpened. Its ears snapped upright, swiveling like radar, while thin arcs of electricity crackled along its antlers—a clear warning for him to stay back.
