After her adventures in the Valley of the Four Winds, Li Li decides to strike out on her own and explore the Krasarang Wilds. When her attempts to track down the point of origin of Shen-zin Su’s journey are thwarted by the Wilds’ many critters and hard to traverse foliage, Li Li makes new and unexpected friends . . . friends who, it turns out, have a lot to tell her about these strange lands.
Even without Uncle Chen around to help me, it was easy finding the Krasarang Wilds. But slogging my way through the gloomy coastal swamp was quite the challenge. The thick forest canopy blocked out the sun, making it almost impossible to get a sense of direction. When I wasn't tripping over gnarled roots, I was getting tangled in the big stupid vines that hung down from the trees. And then there was the wildlife. Saurok, giant hissing wasps, and other types of angry critters prowled around everywhere.
