Master Of None-Chapter 2474 - . Jungle Walks
As much as Gil wanted to push through the start of the jungle like forest to reach the canyons, he felt that moving with the larger group was the best move. This was all due to the fact that he was watching the angels who had come to help who had not received any assistance from the genesis forces.
He was seeing the stark difference in the way they moved. They were still very attentive but they were more reactive to the changes in mana which were not dangers to the other angels who had trained within Genesis.
It was evidence that their sensitivity was riskier for them since they could be influenced by the deneser manas in this area. The water, and fire mana swerve already higher align with the general humidity and temperature. This was wearing on their minds and bodies faster than the other angels who had trained within genesis.
There was a lot of training that had happened within the angel forces of the Sigil continent and united empires. However, Barry the vice adventurer's guild leader had been spending the most time in the Sigil continent. He had spent the time to develop four different headquarters for the adventurer's guild while also working closely with the land which would become the second city of the Genesis alliance.
His work had been major in ensuring that the angel race and the wyvern races were uniting better and also being able to begin elearning better. The information they shared was brought from the adventurer's guild and it was shared quickly and efficiently. As such, they received more help in terms of quests to grow their levels, class information, and even the specific knowledge of what materials they could order through the guild until the Genesis second city was built.
Afterwards, they would be able to make a mirror city of genesis which would have many of the same facilities that genesis possessed minus the immense size and dragon territories. The odds were it would be slightly more focused toward the wyverns and angels than other races since the sigil continent did not have as many other traces living within it, that were known that is.
Regardless, the more Gil watched the more that he understood the differences here. There were a lot more little things like moving to scout ahead or to support the others where the angels who had been left in the Sigil continent without any training did not do. They also had no idea how to seamlessly working on the the groups that had trained in genesis.
A few had trained with Barry And were able to catch on to the tactics and safety measures in moving through the dense jungle forest. They were not as acclimated to the ways of movement but they were able to take note and adapt better than those who had not trained with Barry or been able to train with others who had.
None of this was really something that gil or alma would be focusing on. They trusted the force that came with them and they would be letting them handle the main danger. But when it came to the true dangers which were moving ahead of them, Gil would fire an arrow while Allma handled any defenses using the plants she could control.
Right now, they were looking at a monster called a brutal stag, they were not that different from others that would be hunted in forests, however, this monster had been appraised and the red dripping sap on its antlers which were broken in to jagged edges were the true danger.
It was a very different monster than the moss dear or the mud deer that Gil had hunted before. The brutal stag primarily ate meat and would break its antlers in to these jagged sharp ends so that it could rub poisonous tree saps on them and harm its prey. This was the hinting method that it had developed and Gil was not afraid to take it down.
Surprisingly, he had easily taken it out with one earth affinity arrow which pierced its head easily. He'd expected more resistance or that Alma would need to put more effort in to defending the sharp antlers. He knew that he could have let the other archers handle this monster now, but originally had seen the sharp antlers and felt a little danger from the monster as a whole.
While this was a simple fight and the monster was taken down, the fact that the monsters here were making themselves more dangerous by using the environment, like tree saps, Alma made it clear that everyone had to march a little closer.

In The forests that she had grown up in, some monsters did similar things, however, they did not harm themselves by breaking their antlers to then coat them in poisonous tree saps to sue against their prey. It meant that the monsters and entire ecosystem with this jungle and canyon would be more dangerous.
The mist and warmth that was rising up from a distance away had settled over the canopy as a gentle breeze blew over it. This caused small drops of cooling mist to fall from the leaves well above their heads. While some of them ignored it, others quickly noticed the little monsters in these drops being knocked off of the small leaves.
When this caught their attention the small monsters were quickly killed and guarded against. A few mages made small bubbles of water that floated over everyone's heads spo that they couldn't be hit by the flailing monsters.
"Walking sticks, blue mini frogs, and even some sun loving leeches. These are all living up in the treetops in leaves and branches. The mists are up to now but because there is a breeze they are carpooling rapidly. How interesting. I wonder if some of the plants up there have leaves that collect the cooling mist droplets." Alma was amazed by this aspect of the canyon jungle. Theta had yet to even get in to the main part where the anyone came to play and here she was learning new things.
"You can get to known a lot more now. The ground is starting to slope down and those rocks there are where the canyon must have lost all the soils around it as it grew over time." Gil pointed out the exposed tree roots which dug in to the rock itself.
These plants now were less focused on the soil which was becoming less around the area. The slope was easily handled while moving but it was clear that there could be larger drop offs. They would be harder to see with all the foliage ahead of them. This warm and damp environment was perfect for plants to grow.
The moss was even growing constantly too, Gil even spotted some purple and deep green mosses that appeared to be fighting themselves for space. Pushing against each other and growing in to each other over time. Not a monster but a war slowly happening between plants for space on the rocky outcroppings in the jungle floor.
"There it is, the best path we can take." One of the angels pointed out a piece of stone which was somewhat cleared. He was referencing the map they had which the echidna mages who would be meeting them had discovered.
According to the map, the notes said that it was a monster's travel path. A pack of what were known as moss baboons. While they did not eat meat, they were always cultivating the moss growing on their bodies and any place with moss that they could transfer to their bodies would most likely have their walking trails nearby. They would move in larger groups so they would cause this to happen.
Now and then, while walking, the group began to hear a slight crackle. But when they looked up there were no signs of storms or real rain. Just a few white clouds. It was unsettling since both Gil and Alma knew that they might be hearing what was a group of monsters or a dangerous monster in the distance.
Otherwise, they had also noticed the slight echo of rushing and billing waters. This was the water deep in the canyon echoing up through the trees and rocks. The source of the mist which returned as cool dew and rain later in the night. The sound wasn't much but it was constant and hid away the sounds of some monsters which might be moving nearby.
Before they moved too far down the path after noticing these sounds, Gil hesitated because he saw the echidna mages slowing their movements. They had sharper senses for the way mana moved so he knew that if they were noticing something off that he should be prepared. He just didn't expect that there had been some terrain changes other than the collapsed side of the canyon they had found before.
