Chapter 1917 Need More Fear

After all, it would mean that the Divine Doctor could cook up a fear-hallucinogen from just about any organic matter.

"That's a bit of a stretch, but… not impossible." Rui tutted uncertainly. "But regardless, he said it was not enough."

Rui narrowed his eyes. "It stands to reason that if it's not enough, he'd want to get more."

"…Yeah, I guess that makes sense."

"In which case, I think I know where he went next."

"And where would that be?" Kane raised an eyebrow.

"The Forest of Fear," Rui replied with a hint of confidence.

There were three avenues that the Divine Doctor might have pursued. The Caves of Penance, the Forest of Fear, and the Sea of Solitude.

Rui previously had absolutely no inkling where the Divine Doctor might have gone based on the data of the Adventurer's Guild, but now he had a good idea.

"I think there's a very solid chance that he went to the Forest of Fear in order to make stronger fear-hallucinogens," Rui remarked. "After all, I already know that he is able to harness vegetation in pretty incredible feats of bio-engineering."

The Forest of Fear was a region with natural fear-hallucinogens. Its vegetation released substances that, when inhaled, triggered deep fear in a person. This was an evolutionary ability that highly predicted survival and reproduction, causing the species to thrive wildly.

The fauna of the region, in turn, had evolved such that they had almost no sense of natural fear. Their fear had returned to a normal level after being elevated by the flora of the region.
