The second one send them into a valley where everything is soft and bouncy.
Acid constantly seeps out from the ground and ceiling.
The third and final one sends them into large flesh like tunnels that constantly change directions.
Even with decades of being horseback, Xil feels dizzy and lightheaded from the amount of rapid movement.
She can’t..
She must stay..
awake..
Guang..
As her fades in and out of consciousness, she feels the hooves of her horse hitting something harder again.
She is sinking…
Did she lose?
Why did…
No..
…

.
-I think that’s enough-
—But..—
-Nin. you really think anyone can survive another lap?-
—Fine—
Light hits her eyes once more.
She and Guang wake up in a wine red pool.
Her burn wounds from the acid valley have completely healed. Guang doesn’t feel exhausted anymore. Her belongings remain the same.
The center is a stone pillar which has the fragments of engraved stones on top of it.
The two serpents are on the other side of the pool. After she wakes up, they explain that she was the only one that completely got through the island’s insides.
They decide to end the race here because they think the rest of the contestants wouldn’t be able to finish another lap around the sector. Wound regeneration takes way too long.
She agrees.
The stone pillar is lowered, revealing a few oval shaped stones that is engraved with impossibly small writings which faintly gives off a dark blue color.
After taking the second fragment, she says that she need a bit of time off before going to the sea floor to search for the fourth fragment.
The two serpents clarifies that they are already at the sea floor. They can begin the search whenever she wants.
Huh. That’s convenient.
Once they find the fourth fragment, they could drop her off at the hoard of lotuses at the surface and she could search for the third fragment there.
So.. how does she plan to search the sea floor?
>>Get it done quick. She’ll be exhausted, and likely in no condition to fight the angel for the first fragment, but it won’t take long. Then again, she could try to steal the fragment from her.
>>Get it done quick - make Guang accelerate the processGuang will be quite exhausted by the end of it, but she won’t need him for the fight.
>>Take it slow.She needs to save her strength for the fight with the first angel. Cling onto the serpents for most of the time. Probably ride Wan (gold adorned serpent), though. Nin (the undecorated serpent) seems a little nervous around her.
