It took a while for the groups to make it to Patagonia, the destination was a long ways away, not to mention the fact that the entire planet has grown larger, meaning the countries have distanced themselves even further.

During the travel however they landed on a rather unique island, one that had been created by a volcano, one that was still active now. The island roughly stretched 10 kilometres in diameter, yet it was full of plant life and full of some rather unique beast.

As this island had been created by a volcano in the middle of the ocean, not many large beasts were located on the island. There were a few larger bird type beast that flew overhead, but the ones crawling along the ground were rather small.

The group landed on the beach, just to keep a clear view of everything on all angles. The trees were rather thick and tall, the beasts on the island hide within them or on top of them.

Georgia made sure Kyle was constantly releasing his aura, just to create less trouble for them.

Zhang noticed something on the trees and disappeared, he walked over to the treeline cautiously. Unfortunately for him, the group could see where he was going as his footprints were left in the sand.

They followed behind him silently, Zhang didn't notice for a while until he looked back and noticed everyone crouched low, walking behind him. He got rid of his invisibility, "You guys can see me?"

"Look at your footprints, make sure you don't forget the fact that you are still here, you will still leave marks even though you're invisible," Simon explained.

Zhang's face went red from embarrassment, "Oh."

After that the group went towards the tree line, their eyes darting towards every dark corner where something could be hiding. Walking up to the tree they noticed fruits covering its branches, they looked like apples yet they were bundled together and slightly larger.

'Analyse'

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: Volcanic Plums

Description: A delicious snack rich in nutrition that can only be grown in volcanic soil

Location: Located on volcanic islands or grown in volcanic soil

--------------------------------------------------------

Lachlan analysed it just to be sure they weren't going to eat anything poisonous, but he didn't expect it to be a plum. 'It's massive'

Lachlan reached out and grabbed on, yanking his arm back to rip it off. He brought it to his mouth before taking a large bite. His taste buds were soaked in sweetness, Lachlan's eyes widen in surprise. 'This is delicious, suppose the eyes never lie'

The group saw him take a bite and felt reassured, aside from Brianna and Zhang the rest of them knew about Lachlan's ability. All of them reached out to take one peach for themselves before taking a bite.

"This is amazing, we should bring it back to the island to grow," Simon suggested as he took another bite. The fruit's juices sprayed everywhere, it was like they were 80% juice.

"Unfortunately, these things can only grow in volcanic soil, so unless we bring a large amount of volcanic soil along with us there's no point. Plus, we could just come back here and take control of the island, we could even move our island above it," Lachlan explained.

"Then I suppose I'll just grab as many as I can hold for now," Simon said as he reached out and ripped bundles of plums off the tree. He stuffed them in a small bag he brought along with him.

Everyone in the group brought along a bag, they also only brought the essentials with them. Water and a bit of food, everything else was left back at the island. Aside from the gravity stones of course, who knows when they'll have to use them.

The bag was attached to a strap that went around their body diagonally.

*Hsss*

The sound of a snake came from above them. The group swiftly leapt back and summoned their beast. They stared at the treetops until they noticed something dangling from them, although it was a lot smaller than they thought.

It was a small snake the size of a finger, dangling on a small twig. Its small head was shaped like a leaf, while the rest of its body looked like a stem.

--------------------------------------------------------

'Overly friendly? Does it mean it won't attack us or just won't attack others of its own kind' Lachlan hadn't seen that trait before, so he quickly assumed a few things about it.

Although he hadn't seen the trait before, considering that some people are rather friendly with each other yet don't have the trait meant Lachlan could assume these small snakes are friendly to all.

*Hsss*Hsss**Hsss*Hsss*Hsss*Hsss*Hsss*Hsss*

Looking up they noticed the tree leaves were slowly moving around, the shape of a snake slowly coming into focus. They covered the trees, all the leaves basically were the same species of snake.

Lachlan analysed a few others and the screen was almost exactly the same, with the same trait that became a weakness.

Lachlan began walking towards them, slowly and cautiously as he made sure Aaron had his eyes back. If anything happens Aaron could blast the whole species to the ground with fire.

"What are you doing Lachlan?!" Phoebe shouted at him. "Come back here!"

Although Phoebe shouted at him she couldn't do much herself, as she was absolutely terrified of snakes. The sheer sight of them sent a shiver down her spine, let alone the site of thousands or tens of thousands.

"Don't worry, I have everything under control," Lachlan said as he leaned his head over his shoulder. He turned back around before continuing towards the snakes.

Once he reached them Lachlan held out his hand and brought it up to the shortest branch, he had an open palm ready to go. "Come on, don't be shy, I won't hurt you."

He brought his hand closer to the tiny snake, he didn't want to run his hand against it just in case the snake's mood suddenly changes and it goes for the bite.

The small snake uncoiled its body before slithering down to Lachlan's hand. It coiled around his finger before slithering between them all. After a few seconds, it went into Lachlan's palm and coiled up, its small head sticking out just resting on its body.

He brought his hand back up to the branch, the snake in his hand didn't seem to the want to move. But while that was happening another snake from the branch slithered down onto Lachlan's hand and joined in.

Lachlan gave up, but with two snakes in his hand, he walked over to the group. Phoebe quickly backed away while some of the group seemed to lean back a bit, especially when the snakes turned to look at them.

Simon sucked in his guts and took a step forward, he reached out and pet one of the snakes on its small head. The snake raised its head to meet with Simon's hand, it rubbed against it before wrapping itself around Simon's finger.

"I suppose they are kind of cute," Simon said as they pet the snake with his other hand.

Some of the group huddled around Simon and Lachlan and began petting them as well. Phoebe still hid at the back along with Brianna, the two of them stared at the snakes, afraid they would disappear for even a second.

"So, should we continue to explore or do that later and focus on getting to Patagonia?" Lachlan asked. Although he wanted to explore the island, they still had the task they had to focus on.

"Well, it is already quite late and we might not be able to make it to another island by night time; so why don't we just stay here for now and rest the night?" Simon asked the group.

Most of them agreed as they saw the sun was already close to the horizon. However, Brianna and Phoebe were freaking out, living on the same island as those snakes was too much for them.

"No, no, no, no, no, we should leave and find another island to rest on," Phoebe suggested as she backed away from the snakes some more. "What's to stop those snakes from attacking us in our sleep?"

"Oh come on, just take a look at them, they're adorable and are quite harmless," said Lachlan as he walked towards her, snake in hand as he held it out.

"You said quite! That means they're slightly dangerous, that's too dangerous for me," Phoebe shouted as she ran back towards the water.

"Don't worry, they're harmless towards us as they won't attack us, that's their nature," Lachlan explained as he tried to reassure Phoebe that everything's alright.

"You sure?" Phoebe asked cautiously.

"Yes, it's one of their weaknesses, their overly friendly towards everything," Lachlan explained calmly to Phoebe. Neither Brianna nor Zhang heard that as they were more focused on the snake, as Zhang as trying to get Brianna to change her mind.

"Are you one hundred percent certain?" Phoebe kept up her guard against the snake but took a few steps towards Lachlan.

"One hundred percent," said Lachlan.

Phoebe walked over slowly with her hand stretched out as far as it could go. She leaned over to using her index finger, just slightly pet it on the snake's head. When she went to pet it again the snake slightly moved upwards to greet the finger and rubbed its head against it.

"I suppose they aren't too back," Phoebe calmed down a lot when the snake happily let her pet it. "Okay, I suppose we'll stay on the island till morning, but those snakes better not come near me when I'm sleeping."

The two walked back to the group, Zhang and Brianna walked back a few minutes later with Brianna happily holding the snake in her hands. She raised her other hand in victory, "Haha, I conquered my fear over snakes!"

Lachlan was rather tempted to just throw her into the main snake nest, see how she reacts to that. But then it'll be a bother to get her to calm down again, especially now that she'll have the fear that someone would prank her.

Once they reached the group they had a quick chat before all agreeing to stay on the island and who would do what. Lachlan and Joe were in charge of getting food. Lachlan would search from the air while Joe would get Sandy to sniff them out of hiding.

The rest of the group was in charge of finding firewood and setting up camp. They broke off a few branches for their tents, they covered them in leaves to protect them for the wind. This time, however, they made sure that both Phoebe's and Brianna tent was completely made of leaves and not snakes.

Some of them were tempted to do it but none of them wanted to face the wrath of both of them.

The rest of the group had a few leaf snakes being used as leaves. They didn't mind all that much, their bodies pretty much acted like leaves. Not to mention they can use wind control, adding more protection from the wind.

Once that was all done they settled down and set up the campfire. Lachlan had found a rather small bird, it was half a metre in half and half a metre wide. It was rather fat and looked like a ball of feathers.

Once they finished eating they went to sleep, although they did make sure there were people making sure to keep watch. They made it so there were pairs, just so it doesn't get too boring.
