The group decided to leave the fort after a week in it and since the group didn't make large heavy objects they left little evidence that they were even there. Ostro carried half of the supplies in his nine arms which mostly consisted of pots and pans that Ba Ye made for Jax to cook with and the bear trap he made for Shea. Ba Ye flew into the air doing tricks because he was bored out of his mind from traveling for half a day. The group took a break every three hours to cultivate in turns and everyone except Ostro because he was already rank three reached rank two and Bus Duaa who was rank four.
Shea showed temporary showed demonic features that were similar to Satan and Baal. An Hue showed the opposite with features of Gabriel and Metatron. Chui showed signs of dryads and treants. Ba Ye gained military wisdom and took over as combat scout from Chui , which meant he could command with same authority as Jax. Sky has spirits of lightning beast swirl around her. Jax showed the most unique temporary gift of radiating sound waves that were of low and high frequencies simultaneously.
Ba Ye seeing Ostro struggling to carry everything he took the bear trap and said jokingly " Stop carrying everything and making me look bad." Jax whispered to Chui "Us trying to get groceries from the car." An Hue snuck up on on Ba Ye and poured some monster repellent at him.
Sky was shocking Shea slowly moving her towards Jax. Shea didn't know whether to be embarrassed as she inches towards Jax or annoyed by Sky. Rakurai ended up tripping Shea and Jax slid catching her in his arms. Jax stares into her pale blue eyes and said" Does this seem familiar?" Chui passed some coins to Bis Duaa because they had bet on that whether Jax would end up kissing Shea.
Suddenly Jax moves Shea so that she is standing up and Bis Duaa passes the coins and more back to Chui. Chui snatches the coins with melancholy wanting Jax and Shea to be together and wanting to be right. Sky looked at Jax and staring at him trying to mentally communicate what she is thinking which is "Are you that dense can you not see that she likes you." Everyone understood that fact except Jax.
Jax looked around and saw everyone except Shea death staring at him. Jax was confused and asked what was happening. Ostro breaking the awkward silence said "Look there is a lightning badger." The badger ran up to Rakurai slapped him on the nose and ran away. Rakurai was angry and chased the lightning badger. Rakurai swiped at the badger. The badger shot a jasper colored lightning bolt and Rakurai responded with an Azure bolt. The fight looked like it was more of a comedic cop chase when the badger was running and Rakurai ran up into the trees making the badger think he left and then jumped down onto the beast and biting into its neck killing it. While Rakurai was eating the corpse of the lightning badger a faint streak of jasper lightning appeared as well as azure lightning and Sky felt that Rakurai went up to rank 2.
