Lin Mu glanced at Cattaleya, then nodded. "Very well. We will go with you."
The apekin inclined his head. "Follow."
The group reorganized quickly. Orgal was lifted carefully by two boarkin, who carried him on a crude but sturdy stretcher made of vines and branches. The rest of the beastkin formed a loose escort around Lin Mu and his companions.
They moved swiftly through the rainforest.
For six hours, they traveled without stopping.
The forest here was unlike anything Lin Mu had seen before. Massive trees towered hundreds of meters high, their trunks thick enough to hide entire houses. Vines as thick as bridges draped between branches, and some bioluminescent plants even glowed faintly in the dim light beneath the canopy.
The air was heavy with moisture and life.
