Leaving behind the outcropping takes them downhill, soon enough dumping them back into the forest. Luckily they left the swampy area well behind them during the flight, so there's no risk of getting boots stuck in the muck or falling face first into some aquatic danger. But the roots threaten to trip them up and the path, while open, isn't good footing.

Silence around them should be a good sign, but Dabi feels more anxious towards it. Not knowing something's out there is a little worse than knowing something is. Considering how fast the previous creatures had been, he's expecting a sudden dash from the darkness on either side.

How long a walk till they find this damn hollow tree...
