A week passed as Long Chen finally came out of his meditation to see where they were and to check on things.
As he opened his eyes, he realized that they seemed to be flying from above the forest.
He looked at the sun to check directions. "Good. We seem to be on route."
"We are. But I had to take so many diversions to avoid the cities, that I think we increased the time to reach there by two days. We should get there later than we thought. Why are there so many cities in our way? Can't they make cities elsewhere? Wasting my precious time," Snake Monarch said as he complained.
"You're right. It's indeed taking long. You must also be getting tired after such a long journey. But this should also give me more time to heal my core," Long Chen told the Snake Monarch, nodding.
