With those thoughts playing through my head, I slipped into the cover of some trees. They responded by bending their branches down to hide me behind their leaves as an enormous snake, large enough to swallow a cow whole, slithered past. Being a snake, the organ in its nose could detect prey by its body heat, but the cover of the trees perfectly blocked the heat I gave off.

I held my breath and waited patiently for the snake to pass. I wasn’t the least bit nervous. Outside of Pulha, it was the kind of monster I would have tried to kill before it noticed me, but here in the dense woodlands, it was difficult to safely build a fire. It would be a challenge to make use of anything you could harvest from it.

However, the trees of those same woodlands offered me protection. With their help, virtually no monsters would be able to find me. So the obvious course of action was to let the snake pass. Ending our encounter without a life-or-death conflict was lucky for both of us. Snake meat was actually surprisingly delicious...but in this environment, hunting something like that wasn’t really an option.

Once the snake had vanished from view and I could no longer hear it moving through the trees, I started walking again. There really were a lot of monsters here.

The deeper you went into the forest, the thicker the energy in the air grew. The fact I had found this level of power in the environment normal once made me want to laugh. Of course, I had lived inside the barrier, safe from any monsters that might threaten us. After traveling the world and learning all sorts of things, I could truly understand the size and depth of this place now.

An environment like this needed some sort of source for its power. I had guessed that the source of that power was a phoenix...but at this stage, I could only hope I was right. If I failed to find a phoenix here, I’d have to take Airena east to climb the Fusou Tree and begin the search anew. Well, I guess it didn’t have to be the Fusou Tree. Any mountain large enough to reach above the clouds would do.

I hadn’t tried it before, but I wondered if with the help of the wind and water spirits I could walk on clouds, similar to how I could walk on water. If we could ride the clouds and have the wind spirits carry us around, it seemed plausible we could find the clouds where the giants lived.

However, I had doubts as to how welcome we would be if that was how we found our way there. It was possible that being a member of another of the ancient races would earn enough respect for us to be welcomed on its own, but arriving on the back of a phoenix like in the myths would certainly make the best impression. If I was taking Airena with me, I wanted to be as careful as possible.
