I was sent back to the Bamboo Grove Snake Trail. I had used up all my medicines, and I couldn't buy any back from the store because there was no stock left. So, I knew I would have to be even more careful this time. To be honest, I decided I would try only one more time to take down that frog, and if I failed, I would just ignore him for the time being.
I took the fight to the first enemy, planning not to give him much of a chance to attack me this time. However, he managed to land a solid hit, dealing good damage and inflicting a poison effect that drained half my health.
Realizing I was in bad shape, I decided to head back to the shrine to reset and return with full health. But when I jumped off the bamboo bridge, I encountered another enemy of the exact same kind waiting below. I took him down with pleasure and quite easily.
It looked like I had stumbled into another section of the bamboo grove forest, which was packed with even more enemies. There were several skeleton monsters lurking around, so I started fighting and clearing them out.
Deep within the grove, I spotted another one of those dragon-like monsters and taught it a good lesson. The forest seemed completely overrun by these creatures, especially the skeleton monsters, which all woke up upon spotting me and swarmed toward me all at once.
While I was trying to harvest a natural remedy, a monster suddenly burst out from the plant. I quickly stunned it using my Immobilize ability and launched a series of attacks. It looked like this creature didn't even have a normal face, but I managed to defeat it before it could land a single blow on me.
Moving further ahead, another skeleton appeared out of nowhere to attack, but I took it down instantly with minimal effort.
The forest was clearly rich in crafting supplies, but danger remained everywhere. I encountered another skeleton monster's head and attempted to smash it with a single heavy blow; however, before my attack could land, it struck me first and knocked me back.
I recovered quickly and took him down, taking only a bit of damage.
As I pushed deeper into the trees, I came across a massive statue that looked like the form of a devil or something similar.
All the pictures are take by me, from my gameplay. I took help from the internet for some words/names/locations used in this post.
