The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 40's

"The trees are unique when viewed from above. The color is so pretty to touch and the shape is so dazzling, that anyone would love it."

Jessica was amazed to praise.

Under a large tree just above the hillside, they took shelter from the hot afternoon sun.

All eyes were fixed on the sight of the purple magaru tree that stood neatly along the gazing eyes.

"I can't stop thinking, what I've never seen in the real world has finally materialized in this place." Jessica again nodded in amazement.

For a moment tired and tired children disappeared with the beautiful scenery they witnessed. Especially around the hills, flowers bloom and often change their color as if they are chameleons that can camouflage with nature.

Sometimes it is pink, purple-green and transformed into deep black and back again in the original color.

All of that must be a beauty in this city called SARANJANA.

For a moment Sean pensively daydreamed with his body leaning against the dense purple magaru tree of leaves.

It was as if he was thinking something in his mind. I don't know what, but the daydream seems to be enough to make the child lulled in his own world.

Jessica saw Sean, knowing that there was something her friend was thinking about.

"Sean! what the hell are you thinking? are you thinking of something very important?" jessica asked curiously.

"No! I'm just thinking about how we found Edward" Sean said.

"Are you sure of that?" Jessica started fishing for Sean to be more honest.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure" Sean said.

"From the look on his face, Sean seemed to be missing something. I'm not sure what it is, but his face can't lie to me. I don't think she's thinking about Edward, but she's thinking about something else" Jessica said, guessing what Sean was thinking.

"Well then, I think you might be tired!" exclaim jessica.

"You'd better rest first" the young girl gave advice.

"Hmm," Sean simply nodded no longer as the mouth spoke. This is typical of Sean, talk only about it if it is necessary.

They try to rest as comfortably as possible under shady trees before continuing the journey to abundant food sources as said by asgart.

Unimagined by Jessica what mountains of food are said by the dryad. Maybe what Jessica has in mind is mountains of meat-based food.

"Is the food that the wolf master means sushi? a burger? a pizza? or Asian food?" jessica guesses.

"Hopefully that's true" jessica imagined the delicious food in her mind.

His mind was far away somewhere to find the point of food referred to by asgart even occasionally he swallowed spit resisting the appetite to taste the food.

So it does not feel his body immersed in a nap that is a little very good to enjoy after a long trip.

Yudhar also follows jessica immersed in a dream full of fantasy. But not for Sean and Driyad. Both of them still could not close their eyes even for a moment.

But, in the middle of it, no matter what happened, suddenly the purple magaru tree which was originally comfortable and peaceful suddenly turned into a noise of birds flying in panic.

They do not realize that many birds on their heads are also sheltering. It was felt after they found the flapping wings of the birds open forcefully full of panic and fear of flying out of nowhere. Even many of the wings of the birds fell to the ground.

This made the children quite shocked and woke up from their break.

The spy started glancing around the hill, seeing what was happening so the birds were flying in an erratic panic.

"What's this Sean!" Jessica asked in surprise.

"To my knowledge, if the birds were already flapping their wings violently there was usually a threat around!" Yudhar guessed.

"Are you sure of that?" Jessica asked as if she was unsure of the child, because Jessica knew that Yudhar was quite a draconian human being and it was difficult to catch a brilliant idea.

"Of course I'm sure. I've lived in the woods for a long time and I'm very familiar with the characteristics of animal behavior." Yudhar spoke confidently according to his experience.

They put up a defense with a standby in anticipation of what happened, making the birds scattered in panic in the air.

"Driyad, do you know what happened?" Sean took the initiative to ask the driyad who was squinting at the bottom of the hillside on their right side.

"What Yudhar said is true, something seems to be wrong here" replied the driyad with certainty.

"If that's true, then you should be on standby. They will come soon" continued driyad commemorating the children as if he already knew what would happen.

The children understood and they agreed.

"We understand!" children and not asking anymore.

The words of driyad were right, not long after the weeds that yellowed under the hill on the right side began to sway while there was no wind that passed around the hill.

"Sjssshhhhhhh!!" hissing sounds were very clear.

The ears of children including the driyad are very observant and sensitive to catch the hissing sound.

The sound was getting closer, and was heard not just one horde but many even thought there were thousands, visible from the swaying of the weeds that moved unnaturally.

"They're approaching!" exclaims dryad on children while his body is on standby.

"You must go down the hill when they have appeared" cried the driyad once again warning the children.

Everyone started to panic, but they could control themselves so as not to be too rash in dealing with this strange situation.

And finally what was expected came.

They are meant by driyad is a swarm of venomous snakes that know the existence of humans. They are desert rattlesnakes that are sensitive to scent. With their instinct in recognizing the scent of the human body, the snakes could tell the presence of the scent from a considerable distance.

Like a Komodo dragon that can smell blood and carrion from a radius of hundreds of meters.

"You calm yourself!" sean exclaimed at the two friends so as not to panic.

Driyad is in the front of the children as a protector as well as an observer of all the possibilities of what will happen.

"Kids run!" the cry of the dryad cried out with a loud voice after the serpents had climbed up the hill and found the children.

The snakes leapt agilely over the hillside on the side by Sean and his entourage.

The three little humans understood and ran down the hill. Jessica who was at the front accidentally fell right on top of a weathered wood shaped like a garden slide or more like a rafting Arum boat.

"Oh no," cried Jessica followed by the two men behind her who were also tripped by Jessica's body. The three children finally fell in a fairly large wood and enough to accommodate the burden of the three people.

The wood looks rough surface and is slightly helped on various sides.

And the wood glided down a very steep path without obstacles.

Driyad followed them from behind and ran as fast as possible following the direction the wood was sliding. While the snakes chase at full speed nimble and agile.

SERIATE.
