Huagi Mountain.
On a midsummer night, the chorus of frogs and insects rang out, high and intense.
Ghost Fan led the way, with Spruce and Snakebark Maple close behind as the vanguard.
White Rice and Blue Catalpa held the center.
Black Rice and Mulberry brought up the rear, teamed with Mountain Persimmon to anchor the lineup.
Ink Orchid moved in stealth, hanging at the very back.
White Willow soared in circles overhead, gliding high in the sky.
Spruce, following the orders of the Quandong Divine Tree, directed Ghost Fan and led the team running along the hillside, charging up the ridge, and then marching along the ridge before pivoting down into the forested slopes.
Huagi Mountain wasn't big, but the terrain was complex enough—perfect for practicing night marches.
