They walked for some time before the Tiger hurried up, so Alex had to run to catch up. The sticky Elixir beneath his feet reminded him that he should gather some of these directly as well. As good as the fruit was, there was only so much of it, and the Elixir could be given to so many other people too.
After rushing for some time, the Tiger finally came to a stop in a section of the island where the roots grew around a piece of land, seemingly ignoring it for some reason.
The spot was about 20 to 30 meters in diameter, with hard-packed dirt on it rather than sandy beach like it was in the other places. Nothing grew on it still, but that seemed to have less to do with the land itself and more to do with the lack of sunlight.
"What is this place?" Alex asked curiously.
"Dig there, at the center," the Tiger said.
"Dig?" Alex asked, and the Tiger nodded.
