The almost perfectly round moonlight illuminated the pitch-black forest. The breath of tiredness was heard clearly from the mouth of every swordsman who came to the island.
Chici and her members were leaning against a tree. They looked exhausted once after successfully entering the western region.
Animal after animal, poison after poison they encountered endlessly, managed to overcome together. Since starting to enter the West, obstacles and obstacles continue to come back and forth.
Fortunately, all these obstacles did not interfere too much with their journey to the east. Amidst the tiredness of their bodies, Wixi suddenly asked, and the question managed to make the others wonder themselves.
"That's my heart's been running marathons ever since it entered the west. Why don't we just go east when we get south?"
His friends compact look at each other and pat the eel together.
"Why didn't that question cross my mind?" chirp Zhan.
They whispered to each other and shared their astonishment. Chici threw his sword on the ground. They were silent because they thought Chici was angry.
"Ehh?! Oh I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion. I accidentally stumbled and..."
"It's okay, Miss. Then why don't we just go east, Mona?" ask Fino.
Chici sighed softly then grabbed his fallen sword. Everyone held their breath as Chici did.
"Why are you guys so tense?" chici asked as she watched them hold their breath.
They thought Chici would do something that would hurt them.
"In every border of this part of the island there will always be obstacles. And the south to east border is the hardest obstacle for us, so I chose these three paths.
Besides, we still have two more days before the moon is perfect. So take your time to practice starting tomorrow morning" Chici explained as she sat around the fire.
"Then one more day?" wixi asked in response to Chici's explanation hanging over her.
"The Lotus Fire Island is not very broad. We can go through each section in one day. We make a circular path anyway.
The rest of the day we can relax. There aren't many wild animals, but there's the poisonous plant kingdom on the island"
"What does that mean, miss? Not many beasts but his kingdom poisonous plants?"
"Why are you always so stupid in serious moments?" chirp Zhan to Wixi.
"So that means the North is like the south?" ask Wixi.
Chici nodded slowly while wiping her sword eyes.
"Oohh so apparently. But what are the obstacles on the southern and eastern borders?"
"I don't know." Chici replied lying.
"Oh yeah, I just remembered. We shouldn't be lighting fires in the west" he continued, looking guilty.
"Why?" ask them compact.
Before Chici answered, Leo got up first and seemed alert.
"It looks like they've come" Chici said, grinning the horse.
"Who is.." Zhan's sentence came to a halt as a loud snort sounded one meter from in front of them.
"The western part is the only part of this island that is not overgrown with poisonous plants" Chici said, aiming for something.
"Miss please don't joke at a time like this" Zhan said trembling.
Not only did Zhan seem tense until his body trembled, but everyone except Chici.
"I'm not kidding, Zhan." replied Chici briefly and slid her arrow.
"What's up Zhan?" ask Wixi and Fino at the same time.
"Wait a minute, Miss, this isn't right, is it?" zhan asked to confirm what he thought.
"That's right." Chici replied briefly as she passed towards the voice earlier.
"Zhan tell me what exactly happened?"
"If you remember the words of the lady, then combine them all together, you will know what will happen from tomorrow morning" Zhan replied as he grabbed his sword.
"Zhan don't play riddles!" snarled Wixi pissed.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. In the south, when we are there we are fighting not too many wild animals and poisonous plants that are not as dangerous to us, then the area we go through forms a rectangle, not a square. The North, there is a poisonous plant kingdom.
If you think the south is a test of our ability and resilience, the North is a poisonous plant kingdom, then the west is..."
"Breath animal?!" knock someone.
"Yes. As the lady said, there are no poisonous plants here. That means the western part is inhabited by other living things."
"And besides plants, there are only animals on this island. That means the western part is the territory of all wild animals on this island." continued Fino.
They looked surprised and his body trembled even more. Not because of fear, but their condition that is exhausted can be fatal if they fight, again.
"You guys just calm down. The wild animals on the island are not active at night. So if you want to recover your energy do not make the light too bright so as not to provoke them up and attack" said Chici while dragging a tiger cub.
***
The dark night made Chici and the others increase alertness despite being half-asleep.
They could not sleep too soundly, many possibilities would occur in the middle of the dark and alien forest.
Chici woke up and sat up to support her head. He couldn't sleep at all, his mind was too messed up. Chici decided to just practice.
About a metre from where he was, Chici lit a bonfire big enough to try to lure animals closer to him.
The plan works, the apes and other animals approach Chici. They attempt to attack Chici, but Chici continues to evade. Chici used the animals there as opposed to his defensive training. He kept dodging and replying to the attack, but not to the point.
Not long after, a lot of people suddenly appeared around Chici. Chici thinks that they are Tim and Tom's people who have been bothering him since the first time.
Chici reduces the firewood so that the light is not too bright, but enough to illuminate the fight.
"Hey boy! Since the first time you came, you have been like a star. All the many warriors who admire you even adore you. Every group we meet is always talking about you" said a woman in front of him.
"Ohh, I thought you were Tim and Tom, just chickens jealous of eagles. Who're you?" ask Chici to relax.
"You know the leader of the Lotus Island thugs?" ask the woman a little backwards.
"Yes I know them. Why are you backing out? Come on, help me fill the time, I'm not sleepy." Chici said.
"Emmm.. We're members of the North's mafia state X."
"Ohh, what a lucky one. I invite you to leave together tomorrow morning, tell your chief" Chici said as she put out the fire and passed.
"What's this?" knock someone.
"We'll know tomorrow morning" said the woman, still confused by what happened.
