The river he had originally opened up actually led upstream to a cliff in a small mountain range. A waterfall cascaded down the cliff, collecting below in a freshwater lake and a tributary-the stream that ran through the middle of his space.
The appearance of a lush, forested mountain immediately caught the attention of the animals in his backpack.
The Wicked Mother Bird immediately chose to move her nest onto the mountain. She found a large tree and quickly built a simple nest with twigs in her beak, then carried the Chocobo eggs up one by one.
The Unicorn and the Mandrake also ran up the mountain to play, curious about it.
Mu You followed them up to take a look.
There was nothing particularly special on the mountain. Aside from some insects, birds, and other animals, he saw no sign of any large predators during his circuit.
The largest creature he encountered was a green snake about half a meter long, but Mu You sensed no magic power from it. It was probably just an ordinary snake.
Before Mu You could act, the Wicked Mother Bird pecked the snake to death with a few strikes and carried it back to her nest, apparently planning to enjoy it for dinner.
Once he confirmed that the mountain posed no danger, Mu You felt reassured.
