Muddy puddles reflected flickering light, as small red insects clustered into balls, swaying like algae. Interwoven vines intertwined and formed a massive "spiderweb" above the Insect Valley, with two patterned green snakes occasionally coiling and entwining, flicking their tongues.
Youths from the Nine Villages and countless large tribes of the Southern Frontier, carrying their packs and wielding Spirit Weapons, jumped into the Insect Valley from various cliffs, using their True Gang to slash through the vine "web," cushioning their descent, causing such a commotion that a mass of birds, black as a cloud, scattered into the sky.
