The Hero Turned Into A Potato And The World Fell To Ruin Chapter 29: Humanoid Oxygen Generator

Two hours after picking the seaberries, Osar, carrying Yaine in his back basket and followed closely by Liu Ji, finally approached their departure point.

In the distance, Osar spotted a dark figure standing on a sand dune.
