Each of them is hearing different noises while they still don't open their eyes, they're regaining consciousness.
There's drum noise and nearby voices, noise of people walking, they seem to drag their feet, no, jumping.
They wake up one by one, they notice that they are tied by hands and feet, hanging on a bamboo stick.
They are tied up with two people per bamboo stick, there is one individual on each side processing them.
Its appearance is extremely brunette skin, hard features, braided hair and athletic and thin body, most are tall.
Men and women use braided leaves to form skirts, although underneath apparently they bring nothing.
That could have been noticed by NEMU, which, being hung, is at a lower level than leaf skirts, so when another of the individuals approached.
To say something in a strange language to one of those who was carrying her, she could see what was under her skirt, she hit a drowned, embarrassed cry and closed her eyes, she also turned her head, although on the other side, there was another man, so she saw the same thing.
He decided to keep his eyes closed for a while.
No one wears clothes on the upper body, women carry many necklaces of flowers and bones on the neck, with which they cover part of their breasts, letting their breasts see naturally.
They all have the face painted white spots, most of them are painted body circle, perforated and barefoot.
The group tries to stay calm.
At the moment, it's best to wait until you get where you're going to take them, there you may have a chance to escape.
They try to locate themselves, maybe they went down a lot within the land of the shore and diverted their way, well, it obviously was, but under where they were supposed to go, there are many uncharted lands due to the hostility of the inhabitants, and coincidentally it seems that this is one of them.
As they approach land in their village, you can see hundreds of skulls adorning both sides of the driveway, indicating that, they have been caught by a tribe of cannibals, upon arrival, they can see that they have prepared a bonfire.
They take them to a place near the bonfire, where there are several woods to hang the bamboos, they leave them hanging there.
Everyone talks to each other, they have to find a way out of there alive and unstick.
It's hard being tied up with hands and feet.
The dancers are approaching cheerfully, they bring loincloths, women too, with expression that they like that they arrived, they all bring a wreath of flowers.
They prepare to light the bonfire, they look at the bamboo of KIRO and KEKI, then that of NAIFU and OKE.
The two of you are deciphered and NAIFU separated from OKE.
Although NAIFU kicks them and fights them, they use their strength and end up placing it on the same bamboo as their father.
They push them to stay closer together.
They put KIRO, KEKI and NAIFU on the bonfire.
Time is precious and it's over, they really need to do something to escape, the bad thing is that they've been disarmed.
WAPURO knows she can use her power to kill several, but, tied up, she is likely to be killed before any of them are released.
Options are limited.
KEKI closes his eyes.
INKU and TOIRE have noticed, it is a somewhat strange action given the situation.
Everyone's trying to get away with it.
The moorings don't give way.
A native appears, is a child, with a lit fuse in his hand, and the moment he lights the bonfire (first on KIRO's side) KEKI continues with his eyes closed, as concentrated on something.
Quickly, black clouds swirl over the place, with a wide view you can see that the village is on top of a cliff, close to the shore, that's why they saw them coming.
Under the cliff, the waves of the sea strike hard. Between thunder and lightning that scare locals, it starts raining, so strong are lightning and storm (WAPURO notices that KEKI's power has no restrictions as before, but, at what price, that's what you need to find out) that it was created, makes all the natives flee to take refuge. The wind, along with the rain, are powerfully unleashed.
They've been left alone.
UISUKII, OKE, NAIFU and ESU are the ones who have something useful to untie themselves, with pieces of bamboo and splinters, they have been cutting a little of the ropes, they know that they must hurry, the storm is so strong that, if they are still there, they will be in trouble, break their ties and disarm others.
Outside the sound of the storm, there is total silence, but, there is something strange.
The team is happy because they have the belief that the storm has frightened them, but, seeing their fear of getting out of their huts where they have taken refuge and are hugging each other, swelled up, lets them know that something else is about to happen.
KEKI thinks they didn't go for the water, so doubt is sown, why?
Suddenly, from the edge of the cliff you can see that there is a beast emerging from the water between a powerful wave and it is rising, it is a giant squid, deformed.
The team, still tied to their feet, have taken the blades they had left nearby to cut off their flesh and cut their ties so they can run, the time is short, they have to flee.
In their crazy career, they leave the cliff bonfire, pass through the huts where inside are the natives who scream in terror.
The monster has climbed the cliff, pushes its beastly body over the top, heavily moving its tentacles.
The team goes close to the road where the village entrance is, from among the weapons and tools that are in a heap, they get to see many of their weapons.
The beast is not far away, but if it gives them time to look for their belongings.
The squid destroys some huts and eats the inhabitants of them who, try to flee.
The team runs into the trees to enter the jungle again, without wasting time, they keep running, to get as far away from the sea as soon as possible.
As they progress, the jungle becomes thicker, the branches make them cut short that bleeds them, it seems that something is wrong, one by one they look blurry and they fall, there is something wrong with the plants.
They tell themselves that shouldn't be happening, NANEKI, the cursed city is already so close, just a few days away.
There's no way they're going to die there.
