The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 180 - Beleaguered

After they finished eating and drinking, they spread out the animal skins on the floor, lay down and fell asleep.

Currently Lina was asleep in a position hugged by Uriel.

Suddenly, the little flower bud that had been silent on Lina's head, her body shook.

The roots suddenly protruded from Kubucil's body, and penetrated into the ground.

Uriel, who was asleep, felt something suddenly appear. He immediately opened his eyes and saw that at this time there were roots coming out of Kubucil's body, besides, the branches and leaves in Kubucil's body also grew rapidly, and the petals had also bloomed one after another. In just an instant, now Kubucil had turned into a huge lotus flower, which was over half a meter wide.

And also, there were some small green lotus seeds in the middle of the sari thread.

At this time, Saga, Vishnu and Leon also woke up. The Wolf children also opened their eyelids to see, but when they saw that it was not a dangerous thing, they continued their sleep.

Wiro and Lina who were drunk, were still fast asleep and did not feel this incident.

Uriel looked at Leon with a questioning look.

Looking at Uriel's expression, Leon lowered his voice and said, "The little guy is in the process of becoming an adult."

At this moment, the black Crystal Stones lining the walls of the cave, shone increasingly brighter. Clusters of gray and black light shot out from the crystal, and were inhaled by the lotus flower.

The flower petals that were originally pale pink in color, were now gradually turning black.

Uriel, Saga and Vishnu had just seen, if at this time the Kubucil was absorbing the energy in the black Crystal Stone.

As far as they knew, only Orcs could absorb the energy from the Crystal Stone, and never expected that plants could as well.

"This rare lotus plant is amazing." Inner Vishnu.

The new cubucil stopped absorbing energy, as all the energy within the surrounding black Crystal Stone had been absorbed. The thread now grew to the size of an adult Orc's palm.

Then I poked the thread out toward Leon and said, "Hurry up, dad."

Leon reached out his hand to take the lotus seed and asked with a smile, "Is this for me? Good and devoted son."

"No. To my mother." Said the Kubucil.

Leon, "....."

"Based on the child's favoritism and insolence!" Inner Leon.

If Wiro had also woken up at this time, he would have laughed at Leon who now looks ugly because he thinks too much.

Leon said a little furiously, "You're a little favoritism, is there only your mother in your eyes?!" 

Hearing what Leon said, Kubucil stuck out his arm and gently touched Leon's finger.

"Dad.."

Shortly after the entire lotus seed was removed, the color of the Kubucil flower petals gradually changed back to a pale pink. In addition, the flowers, branches, and leaves also shrink to the previous size. Then she again wrapped her body next to the ear, in Lina's hair, and then closed her flower petals again.

When all these events have ended, Uriel and Saga go back to sleep.

Only the lotus seeds were still in hand. 

Vishnu looked at the black Crystal Stones on the wall of the cave whose energy had been exhausted by the Kubucil, and sighed then said in a low voice, "The little lotus you raised turned out to have a big appetite. He had absorbed so much Crystal Stone energy in just an instant." 

Leon said, "It's just a little crystal. All the energy that was within it could be sucked in as much as he wanted. Besides, I wouldn't be able to if I had to buy him a lot of Black Crystals."

"Did you really raise him as a son?" Ask Vishnu to Leon.

Hearing what Vishnu asked, Leon simply smiled and did not speak a word.

...........

The next morning when Lina woke up, Leon gave her green beans, and said they were a gift from the little guy for her.

Lina immediately picked up the seeds and asked, "When do the little flower buds bear fruit? How I don't know."

"Night, you were fast asleep, then" Uriel explained in a warm-sounding tone.

The curious Wiro approached Lina and asked, "What's the point of this lotus seed?"

Lina just shook her head, as a sign that she didn't know either.

Then there was the sound of the little flower bud saying, "The lotus seed is edible."

Lina counted all the lotus seeds, and counted six lotus seeds that were green and round.

"These seeds don't look any different from ordinary lotus seeds." Lina said confusedly.

Then came the voice of Leon who said, "This is not an ordinary lotus seed. If you eat it, you can turn yourself into a plant as you please for ten days."

"How amazing?!" Lina was surprised.

Vishnu also said, "The lotus seed of the little lotus is very valuable. It's a good day you can get those seeds."

Then Lina carefully put all the lotus seeds into the storage room, then rubbed the cubicle while saying, "Thank you.."

I rubbed Lina's palm and said gently, "I love you.."

"I love you too, I'm so much.." Reply Lina.

Wiro, who had been beside Lina since then, bowed his body and rubbed his head in Lina's stomach while also saying, "I love Lina too." 

Lina immediately pushed Wiro's head away, and said with her cold-looking facial expression, "Go away."

The disgruntled Wiro said, "Am I not like a flower in your heart?"

...........

After the luggage of the Lina family had been cleared, they all walked out of the cave.

Lina who was currently sitting on the back of the Silver Wolf, turned around and waved her hand towards Vishnu who was standing at the cave door.

"We'll come see you again when we have time. Goodbye bye!"

Upon hearing what Lina said, Vishnu nodded and said, "When you want to come here, come."

Uriel walked ahead, and the others followed in her back.

After half a day's journey, now they arrived at the place where they had previously rested. They decided to rest here again.

At the time when they were eating to replenish their energy, Saga who was also eating, suddenly had a glimpse of a strange smell like before.

He put down his eating bowl, and looked around, sniffing trying to figure out where the source of the smell came from.

Lina who was currently sitting next to her, noticed Saga's strange-looking behavior, she immediately asked, "What's Saga?"

"I think I smell weird.." Saga.

"really?" Lina took a deep breath. As a faint fishy smell entered his nasal cavity, he said, "I also smell it."

"I always felt that this smell was very familiar to me, as if I had ever smelled this smell in a place ..."

Before Saga could finish his sentence, dozens of gray-white figures, suddenly appeared to surround Lina and the others.

"Who are you?" Ask Wiro to the besiegers.

But, not a single word of reply came from the mouths of the Orcs who were besieging.

"Br*ngs! Are you all deaf?" Maki Wiro told them.

This time, there was still no response from the besiegers.

But, all of a sudden.

"HUWAUW! HUWAW! HUWAAAUW!"

The besiegers exclaimed and moved together very quickly, to attack Wiro and the others.

"Bad! Want to get in trouble with us, Heh?!" Maki Wiro, who also immediately marched forward with Uriel and Leon, to avoid the besiegers approaching and hurting the children.

"LAU!"

"GROAARR!"

"WUZZI!"

Saga also immediately changed his form to the form of a Piton Snake, and immediately wrapped around Lina's body with her snake tail to avoid Lina being hit by a fatal blow from the besiegers. That was because at this moment, the position Lina was sitting was closest to the besiegers.

"BOUGHS! BUGH! BUGH!"

"DESSICISSSS!"

Fortunately Saga was quick to react, the Orc's punch only hit the Snake Saga's body, and forced him to retreat a few dozen meters away, along with Lina whom he still wrapped around his tail.

The twenty besieging Orcs that attacked Saga and the others, were all white to gray Wild Cats.

Their body size was much larger than the stray cat Lina had seen on TV. Their body length was over two meters, their grayish-white fur was filled with black stripes, their eyes all looked slightly luminous and red in color.

"TWOGH! A WUZZZ! BUGH! B*NGS*T!"

"FIX! TAPS!"

"YAHUWAHU!"

"Be careful! These are not ordinary Wild Cats, but Deviled Feral Cats" Leon suddenly exclaimed at Uriel and Wiro, attacking and repelling the attacks of the Wild Cats.

"No wonder why they are all so powerful!" Uriel.

"BR*NGS*K!" Maki Wiro who is currently very overwhelmed, and some parts of his body have been hit by attacks from wild cats.

In other words, the Wild Cats they were currently facing, were demons!

The faint smell that Saga smelled, came from them. That strange smell was the unique smell of the Demon clan.

No wonder why Saga felt familiar with the strange fishy smell.

Currently, the position of the Wolf children still remained safe around the rock, the place where Lina and the others were eating and drinking before they were attacked. The four of them gathered into one, while looking towards the fight that was far away from them.

Five of the twenty Wild Cats surrounded Saga, and fifteen others attacked Uriel, Wiro and Leon.

The five Wild Cats that surrounded Saga, continued to urge Saga away from the others. So did the fifteen Wild Cats who attacked the other three.

Finally, now Saga and Lina's position has been far from their original position.

The saga that was in its half-Snake and half-Orc form, was extremely difficult to fight. It was because Saga had to fight while carrying and protecting Lina from the attacks of the besiegers.

Now Saga has turned his whole body into a Snake, and moves very quickly through the snow. Lina, who was on Snake's back, kept holding on tight, and sometimes she would look back.

"Those Wild Cats are coming after us soon! I also don't know how much longer Saga can still survive their attacks!"

It was as if, the Wild Cats had installed a radar system on themselves, and locked onto the position of the Piton Snake, in order to keep following him closely.

Saga also realized that he could not escape from their pursuit anymore. He stopped running and put Lina in a tree. Then said very seriously, "You stay here. I still have to face them."

"But your body is already injured! Pg ..."

"Whatever happens, stay here. Or we'll all die." Said Saga who cut Lina's sentence, then she immediately turned around and rushed towards those Wild Cats!
