Compared to the vibrant spring scenery surrounding the Agate Stone Plains, the humid climate of the South Sea Jungle Area past the Indigo Mountain Gorge Entrance was almost unbearable. Leaving aside the mists and poisonous insects that filled the forest, the incessant rain alone caused no small amount of suffering for the Mountain People in Xiawei Territory's caravan.
Though they were natives of the South Ridge, the names 'Forest People' and 'Mountain People' distinctly reflected the climates each group had adapted to. This was also a flaw born from the Terra People's extreme adaptability—once they acclimated to one extreme environment, they lost their ability to tolerate another.
Luckily, as a lord, Ian did not push for speed. Showing great mercy, he allowed the caravan to rest for a time in Sanhe City, giving the members suffering from illness due to the unfamiliar environment a chance to recover.
