Kai and Muchen walked through the forest for a few minutes until they reached an open path. It looked almost like a boundary line, intentionally dividing two areas.
"Is this… like a path dividing the peripheral forest from the outermost part?" Kai asked, confused.
"Yeah, see that forest? That's it," Muchen pointed forward. The two boys stepped forward, crossing the opening, officially beginning the trial.
The forest transformed, filling with noise. Insects as big as they were crawled around, and the moment the boys entered, they faced them.
"Raar… raa… r!"
The giant insects roared and attacked.
"They're stage 2 and 3 body-building insects… attack!" Muchen said, leading the way. Kai followed sharply. They hadn't been given any weapons, and though their families were wealthy back in town, making a body-building weapon here was too costly. So, the two kids used their hands.
Crack!
