"Many areas inside are dangerous, so we'll have to make detours. That means we don't need to explore too many regions."
Thanks to Bai Shi's earlier explanation and the doodle-like map he held, they had a general idea of the Island's shape.
It was a long strip: narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. A crescent-shaped gap in its upper part marked the bay where they had landed.
If the Island were divided in half, the town and the bay port would be in the upper section.
They began exploring this final area, their detours covering increasingly more distance.
Often, these detours involved massive bends in their path.
Since the map needed checking, Alka had Bai Shi walk around the perimeters of these dangerous areas, even when detouring.
Bai Shi also took the opportunity to explain to them why these areas were dangerous and how they had come into being.
He was truly playing the part of a tour guide.
