Days passed, and Ace, following Chuchu's lead, left the river and headed into the forest. Despite Ace's wariness with Chuchu, Cyrus was extremely ecstatic when Ace approved of her, and he completely forgot about what happened earlier.
Nonetheless, Ace still sternly reminded him to be vigilant of their surroundings all the time and be ready for any unforsaken events that might occur if Chuchu had some ulterior motives.
However, even after two weeks, they didn't encounter any trouble, and Ace started to believe Chuchu's words. Although there were still many beasts in their way, they were all scared away because of Cyrus and Chuchu's auras since they were all only Elemental State beings.
Furthermore, Ace learned more about the Beast Calamity Mountain Range from Chuchu. It was extremely vast, and he found that the human settlements and the Sect Alliance City were only the outer regions of it.
