Queen of the Jungle
Chapter 2 – Jungle Masters
“I have a special assignment for the three of you. 你 may starve 或者 never come back alive, but it is necessary for warriors, like yourselves, to train yourselves in the harshest of conditions. You’ll have to endure burning, tropical heat, lack of water, and a lack of 食物 supply. If 你 manage to pass, 你 will indeed be deemed as true high-level masters…”
“That was our order from Shifu, 你 guys. Now, let’s pick up the pace!” yelled 母老虎, 虎妞 to 起重机 and Monkey, who were severely lagging behind in step. “Oh… Why do we have to do this?” uttered Crane, “I don’t know how anyone can survive out here.” “Stop being a baby!” 母老虎, 虎妞 scowled. “I think I’m going to like it here!” exclaimed. “And we only wonder why.” 母老虎, 虎妞 replied, sarcastically. The three Kung Fu masters entered the jungle, with little water and no 食物 with them.
They entered a part of the jungle where ancient ruins dating back thousands of area stood firm, with moss and vines surrounding almost all of the stone structures. 母老虎, 虎妞 then stepped onto what seemed to be a small platform. “You see.” she beamed, “Here lay the ruins of an ancient civilization, whose people actually made a living in this jungle, and managed to built all this despite all these conditions.” 起重机 was still not convinced. “Yeah. And how long did these guys survive here?! Probably about a year.” Monkey sided with Tigress. “I don’t think they could build this in a year.” “Then, once they finished building their structures, they definitely would have left this place, and gone back to where they came from.” 起重机 contiuned. Tigress’ face grew angrier. “Crane, I can tell this civilization lasted for centuries. These villagers became one with the jungle, with all its resources and climate. And that’s what we have to do as well. Understand?!” “Yes Tigress.” muttered Crane. “Then, let’s begin our training. We’ll do it right here.” 母老虎, 虎妞 declared proudly.
With Monkey’s help, 母老虎, 虎妞 set up three wooden targets throughout the ruins. The two had chopped down several of the older trees, and carved out a target 圈, 圈子 towards the 最佳, 返回页首 of the trunk. “Crane, for use to become masters at a highest possible level, we’ll have to use one of the most common techniques of Kung Fu. The Element of Stealth. This time, the targets themselves will be using stealth. 你 must defend yourself from them 由 using your instincts. But… You’ll have to do it blind.” She explained. She showed him a blindfold that she had brought with her on the journey. Crane, with a puzzled look on his face, asked, “Why do I have to wear that?” “You have to do it this way because we need to use our ears to sense our targets’ presence, not our eyes. Master Shifu has done this many times, and we must learn it ourselves.” she answered him, “And you’re up first. Good luck.” 母老虎, 虎妞 and Monkey watched from behind a bush, as 起重机 began his training.
Crane stood in the middle of the ruins as the three targets approached him one at a time, courtesy of a rope being pulled 由 母老虎, 虎妞 and Monkey. 起重机 stood silent and at the ready until the first target approached him from his right. 起重机 breathed deeply and sensed the forthcoming target as his ears twitched. With a quick swipe of his right wing, the first target immediately went down. Within a minute, the two remaining targets were downed swiftly and without hesitation. After the final target got knocked down, 母老虎, 虎妞 and Monkey came out from the bushes and applauded. “Well done, Crane! 你 did it!” exclaimed Monkey. 母老虎, 虎妞 continued, “How do 你 feel now?” “Thanks 你 guys.” 起重机 said, in relief, “And, actually, I feel rather empowered, if 你 know what I mean.” 母老虎, 虎妞 laughed, and took the blindfold off of Crane’s eyes. “Now… It’s my turn.”
Tigress completed the task in no time all, and the same went for Monkey as well. After the testing was completed, 母老虎, 虎妞 and 起重机 agreed to a practice battle as they would 移动 around the ruins, with Monkey as a witness. “This seems like a different, but better, spot for us to train together isn’t it Crane?!” she asked. “Indeed.” he replied. The two Kung Fu warriors started out with some punches and kicks, and then 起重机 flew in the available space, as 母老虎, 虎妞 moved quickly along the ledges of the stone structures. Each time the two managed to 交叉, 十字架 paths, a little spar would occur, and, as time passed, 起重机 began to 移动 quicker and quicker. So much, in fact, that he actually managed to be in line with Tigress, step-by-step. 母老虎, 虎妞 was impressed. “You’re definitely improving yourself.” she 说 while smiling. “I know. And 你 were right about this place. When 你 focus on what you, yourself, are doing, then the jungle doesn’t become a distraction to you.” “Right. However…” 母老虎, 虎妞 then lunged into the air, kicking him with a 迅速, 斯威夫特 right-footed kick to the mid-chest, “You still can’t let your opponent distract you.” she said, as 起重机 fell onto the ground. After she landed herself, she went over to Crane, and let out her paw. 起重机 lifted his left wing, and 母老虎, 虎妞 pulled him back up. “I think that should do it for the day. It’s nearly sundown.” she declared to him and Monkey exhaustingly.
That evening, the three gathered around a 火, 消防 that 母老虎, 虎妞 started, using the test targets as firewood. “That was some intense training we had today.” remarked Monkey, “So, what’s our plan for tomorrow?” 母老虎, 虎妞 smiled. “I hear there’s another landmark not that far from here. It’ll take us about an 小时 或者 two walking to get there from here.” “What is this landmark?” asked Crane. “I don’t know. It’s probably another structure built 由 the ancient civilization. I only wonder what fascinations this civilization had, and how could they have survived for so long in these hard conditions.” she replied. “Yes. I kind of wonder the same thing.” Monkey continued, yawning. “I think it’s time we rest for the night.” stated Tigress. She put the 火, 消防 out, the three 说 “Good Night,” and the three went to sleep.
The 下一个 day, they set out to the 下一个 landmark. As they ventured, 起重机 asked, “Do 你 think anyone else in this jungle right now? I mean I hope that we don’t run into an enemy, and have 更多 to worry about.” “I doubt we will.” answered Tigress, “However, we can only assume that there might be, and we’ll just have to handle it in the proper manner when the time comes…”
