change of terrain
Once they had done the second side, the caravan moved towards the south. The vegetation changed wildly as they moved to the south.
It is unlike anything Jiushu has seen before. The tall towering trees covered the sky so much, sunlight barely filtered on to the forest floor.
The entire trunks of the trees are covered with green lichen. The vegetation is so thick, they can't always see for more than ten foot.
They lit the torches in the morning.
The monkeys, salamanders and chameleons croaked, squealed and rustled in the woods.
This is the true old forest, untouched by humans for a long time.
The children are spooked by the sounds. So, they clung to one another, and every one proceeded cautiously.
Jiushu distributed the warriors equally among the caravan.
Everyone stayed alert, and held each other's hands.
Jiushu randomly tossed an 'identify' at a nearby pretty flower.
