It soon becomes impossible to avoid the massed clusters of Yaku vines, and gingerly you step through, passing close to the spiky hearts of these deadly plants.

Your foot brushes a tendril. Instantly it writhes into life, coiling around your ankle with deceptive speed. You lose your balance and fall to the ground. Immediately you feel yourself being dragged towards the core of the Yaku plant, which lies only yards away.

If you wish to slash at the tendril that has knotted itself around your ankle, turn to 248.

If you wish to unleash a bolt at the centre of the Yaku plant, turn to 179.
