Inside Forbidden Zone No. 002, Ding Dong picked some yellow fruit for Big Yu, but Big Yu only forced a smile and held it in his hand without eating it.
Ding Dong patted Big Yu with a palm as large as a tire. "Ding Dong!"
Big Yu hoisted Chen Ningzhi onto his back again and said to Ding Dong, "Take me deeper into the Forbidden Zone. I need to reunite with the others."
The two headed deeper into the Forbidden Zone. Chen Ningzhi said, "The creatures of an entire Forbidden Zone are helping you. That's truly amazing."
Big Yu said expressionlessly, "From today onward, killing you will be my lifelong goal."
Chen Ningzhi smiled and said nothing more.
When they arrived beside the World Tree, Big Yu saw that the stone houses Zard had built for the small animals were still as intact as ever.
Those little animals also remembered that he was the one who had built houses with Zard, so they brought him fruit one after another. Ever since they had those houses, they no longer had to be drenched by the rain.
Every stone house also bore a drawing by Zard. The little squirrel's house had a little squirrel painted on it, while the flower python's house had a flower python painted on it, distinguishing them that way.
He also saw the house Zard had built for him. A simple smiling face was drawn on it, along with the names Big Yu and Little Yu.

Big Yu bid Ding Dong farewell and stepped through the Key Gate. This was City No. 5.
