239 – Tongdan Continent (2)
The biggest difference between the Tongdan Continent and the Matoto Continent. It was the moisture in the air.
“My body feels sticky….”
The Matoto continent had a pleasant environment where humidity was kept at a very moderate level, unless it was near the sea or near the desert.
However, as if proving that the whole continent is full of jungles, the dreadful moisture covered the entire continent, giving the impression that the entire land was submerged in invisible water.
“Ugh.”
Except for the downpour of rain on the floating island, Monia, who has no ties to a humid climate, is under attack of moisture 24 hours a day, making it difficult to endure this environment.
It felt like it was getting difficult to breathe.
“Monia, are you okay?”
Senna looked at Monia with a worried face. Some people get sick or get sick because the environment they live in doesn’t suit their body or mind, so I had to pay attention to this part.
“Yes. Are you okay. I hate to say this to Senna’s home continent, but really, the humidity is just unpleasant.”
“It’s okay. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I also spent a long time on the Matoto continent, so the air at home is a bit like that.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Whoops.”
As Sena smiled and comforted her, Monia also smiled softly.
Chester was busy looking at the unusual plants growing in the jungle, the sounds of animals heard everywhere, and the insects and bugs he could see.
‘The spider is big. It’s also unique in appearance.’
The spider Chester knew was a slender creature with a slender body, a chubby stomach, and legs thinner than tree branches.

However, the spiders here were chubby and covered with countless hairs, including their bodies, stomachs, and legs.
“What is that spider?”
Chester asked, and Sena, who looked in the direction Chester pointed, didn’t spot the spider for a moment, frowning at her and focusing her eyesight.
As she concentrates for a bit, she sees a spider sneaking out through the bushes.
“Hmm. Let’s avoid it.”
“Why?”
“It’s a poisonous spider. People die if bitten. If a horse is bitten, it won’t be safe.”
“You’d better avoid it.”
The group moved a little farther away from the bush to avoid the spider.
“Chester, it’s a snake.”
After walking for a while, Monia found a snake on the tree.
“Shall we catch it and eat it for dinner?”
“?!”
Sena looked at her in surprise at Monia’s calm words.
I can’t believe that people are talking about catching and eating snakes with that statue or doll-like appearance. He even said that he was a daughter of a ducal family in the past!
“What a chubby snake.”
“The kids here all eat well and seem to be living well.”
“I mean. Shall I catch it?”
“No, I want to catch it.”
Monia said that and aimed at the snake with a star.
When Monia moved her fingers to activate her star wish without opening it, an arrow of wind flew from her star wish and hit her snake.
A snake with a hole in its head twists its body around and falls from a tree.
“Oh. Did you get it right?”
“hehehe. I practiced.”
Chester subdued the snake’s head, which continued to run rampant even after he died as Anubis, and then swung his machete to separate the snake’s head and body.
Then they dug a small pit, put the snake’s head in it, and covered the pit. The snake’s head can live and move even after its body is cut off, and it can inject poison by biting other creatures in that state, so you must deal with it thoroughly.
Monia looked at the pit covered with snake heads and asked Chester with a curious look.
“Can a snake with its brain pierced inject venom?”
“I don’t know, but it’s better to be certain.”
The group that took the snake started moving again.
Watching the actions of Chester and Monia, Sena felt that she had stepped a little between civilized society and the wild.
‘It’s a feeling I haven’t felt when traveling alone or with friends.’
The difference between people who travel away from a civilized society and those who were abandoned in a civilized society and tried to survive in the harsh nature.
‘It’s fun.’
Sena liked her.
As much as traveling with reliable and good people, traveling with unique people has its own taste and fun.
Of course, getting around the jungle on horseback wasn’t easy.
Horses are creatures adapted to vast grasslands, not creatures suitable for roaming the forest.
San Senna’s horse was in good shape for the jungle, but Jordi and Tiara had all kinds of obstacles: tall grass, vines stretching everywhere, dense trees and roots, rocks, and difficult passages created by the curves in the ground. I quickly got tired of walking while hurting myself.
“You moved shorter than usual.”
“Isn’t it hard for people to walk this way? At least, it is better because humans have two legs and can support with arms. They will have a harder time walking than humans. The fatigue in my legs has accumulated more.”
After checking the condition of her horse, Senna started combing her hair, which doubled as a massage to relieve her fatigue.
While Sena was tending to her horse, Chester asked Rex to check her time and decided to stay here for the day.
If she decides to stay, she acts fast. Chester and Monia, already experienced in setting up camp on a floating island, quickly create a safe and comfortable campsite while Senna tends to her horses.
“Oh, are you done already?!”
After carefully combing Jordy’s body, Senna, who was now moving on to brushing her tiara, was surprised to see the Chester family starting to prepare her meal after she had finished preparing for the camp.
“Oh, you’re pretty fast too.”
Combing words is a time-consuming and painstaking task. You have to brush the horse the way it likes, watching its reaction, so that it doesn’t get stressed out.
At least Senna, thanks to her experience of living as a knight and taking care of her various horses, she did it quickly, but it would have taken her longer if she was Chester Langmonia.
“Dad, I brought some fruit!”
Just then, Rex, who had been sent to get some food before making camp, returned with an animal and a load of fruit.
“Oh. It’s the first fruit I’ve ever seen…….”
“Is this fruit?”
Chester Langmonia held the elongated green fruit in her hand and examined it from side to side, starting a discussion about what the fruit was.
What the hell is the identity of this unidentified fruit, whether it is a fruit-mimicking insect, and if it is a fruit-mimicking insect, is it poisonous or not…….
“What are you doing?”
After finishing Tiara’s massage, Senna watched what Chester and Monia were doing before massaging Hope II.
“Huh? Test.”
“…… What the hell can I check with it?”
“Whether it is a creature or not.”
Sena shut her mouth for a moment at Chester’s words.
‘Is it a primitive man?’
A primitive man who lived in a cave a long time ago would behave like that. Sena, thinking so rudely for a while, took the banana they had put on the ground in her hand.
“This is a banana, peeled like this…… Ruler.”
After Sena peeled the banana, she took a bite of the white flesh that appeared inside.
“Ohhh.”
“I ate. Ate.”
“Isn’t Sena sick?”
Chester, Monia, and even Rex watch themselves with bright eyes, she is Sena She only eats a banana She doesn’t know why she has to feel this pressure She doesn’t have an expression It got better.
“Your expression is not good. Is this bad?”
“No! It’s because of you guys!”
As she spoke, Senna chewed the banana thoroughly and spat the seeds that separated from the flesh onto the ground.
“There are a lot of seeds, so be careful when eating.”
“Um.”
“Mmm.”
The Chester family quietly eats bananas. Chester chewed the banana wordlessly, spitting out the seeds and swallowing them.
“Mmm.”
On the other hand, Monia’s face turned bad as her bitterness seemed to rise. Just barely swallow it and then spit out the seeds.
“It doesn’t taste good. It tastes bitter.”
“This is not ripe. You can eat it, but not enough to find it.”
“I see.”
Nodding bar
Nana Chester eats one more.
“Did you like it?”
Chester silently chewed a banana at Sena’s question, and Monia said after seeing Chester like that.
“Chester eats anything he can. I don’t care about the taste.”
“Oh, that’s right. When I went to the Haewangwoo restaurant, there was no big reaction. The chef over there promised to surprise you the next time you come.”
“I wish I could go back.”
Chester said calmly and peeled and ate another banana.
“I like that it is easy to eat if you remove the seeds.”
Chester spits seeds while talking.
“Mr. Is the problem.”
As he said that, Chester saw Rex eating a banana by peeling it open and eating the seeds.
“This is not tasty.”
“Yes. I will cook you your favorite dish.”
As Chester said while showing the snake he had just caught, Rex stopped eating the banana and smiled broadly.
“Let’s eat snakes! Snake!”
“Yes, yes. Let’s eat what you caught, Rex.”
“Yes! I took it because it looked delicious.”
Only then did Senna take a closer look at the animal Rex had caught.
‘It’s a tiger.’

What Rex caught was a bigger tiger than Rex.
