The Tiny Lina Maya

The Tiny Lina Maya
Chapter 184 - Am I Caught?



With great difficulty paddling, Lina had now made her way to the edge of the lake.


"Finally.."


This underground lake is contained in a cave, which is unknown to the mainland Orcs.


Stalactites of various shapes and sizes were everywhere in the cave, and the ground was covered with thick purple moss.


Lina wondered in her heart, "Is this hidden place the territory of the Demon clan?"


Then carefully and vigilantly, he continued walking until he finally exited this underground cave.


After arriving at the other end of this cave, he was now in a vast forest, which was grown with strange trees of what kind.


"Why don't any of the plants here have leaves? Why is each tree only grown with one dark purple flower? Weirdo.." Lina thought confused and surprised, as she looked at the strange plants growing here.


As Lina looked up to look up, she was a little surprised again, with what she was currently looking at.


"Whatis that? Like there was a slightly transparent layer of objects, which covered the top of this place.. Besides I can't clearly see the sun and the clouds that are outside, it looks like that layer is also to block the wind and snow from entering this place. This place feels warm.." Mumbled Lina.


Then, as Lina looked around her, she saw the cold figure she was looking for was walking with Saga, along with the dozens of Wild Cat Orcs that were walking behind the cold figure.


"I must quickly follow them."


Trees have no legs and cannot walk normally like humans.


The dead tree could only use its roots to slant itself, to leap forward.


"HUP! BRUCK!"


"HUP! BRUCK!"


"HUP! BRUCK!"


If there was a Wiro who was currently witnessing this, he would definitely laugh until his stomach ached due to his indescribable antics, upon seeing a dead tree that was awkwardly jumping around like a rabbit.


...........


"HUP! BRUCK!"


While jumping around following them, Lina immediately hid among the many trees in this forest, when some of the Wild Cat Orcs turned their heads back to look and look for where the sound came from.


"Luckily, I'm in this body shape.." Inner Lina.


...........


Up ahead, a cold figure and the others had now reached outside the forest.


Seeing that, Lina hurriedly accelerated her jumping movements, so that she could get to the edge of the forest.


After arriving, Lina saw that there was a large lake in front of her, with its water dark purple and frightening.


Around the lake, there are also four black lighthouses with each shape exactly the same. But the top of the lighthouse was not lighted.


On top of that lake, floated a strange creature that was shaped like a jellyfish, which faintly glowed purple in color.


"It turns out, the transparent layer that covers the entire top, is the body of the Jellyfish.. That's a huge body of jellyfish.." Mumbled Lina.


At the bottom of the jellyfish, there were a lot of thin and long tentacles. Like a woman's long hair, which waved gently in the wind.


When the cold figure and the Orcs had reached outside the forest, all of them simultaneously stopped and stood still in their respective positions. Then, the giant jellyfish stretched out its two tentacles and made a circle around them.


After making sure there were no problems, the jellyfish pulled back both tentacles.


This was done, to check if any foreign clans were sneaking into the territory of this Demon clan.


In addition, around the lake, there were many demon troops patrolling. If any intruder were to enter, they would definitely tear the intruder apart!


At this moment, a cold figure along with the Orcs, continued to move forward. They all walked towards the lighthouse by the lake.


As Lina was focusing on noticing where the cold figure was heading, she was extremely shocked because right now the jellyfish tentacles were already in front of her.


"Aah!"


Feeling very scared, Lina decided to remain motionless, right next to some trees.


"Wine! Am I caught?" Lina's very frightened mind.


The long, thin tentacles that were right in front of Lina, were currently as if they were waiting or paying attention to something.


It made Lina who was in the form of a dead tree was sweating coldly.


"Wine.. Lusty.."


Then, the tentacles touched the branches on the body of the Lina tree.


"Cialaaan.." Lina's screams in her heart.


A cold touch and tickled the tentacles on the body of the Lina tree, making her start to feel amused. It took a lot of effort for Lina, to hold back from laughing.


"Wine! Stopit! I can't take it anymore.." Inner Lina.


Feeling no difference from the other trees, the tentacles finally released their touch on the body of the Lina tree.


"Finally.. I almost could no longer hold back the tickle.. Hhhhhh.." Inner Lina.


As soon as he sighed in relief, he only realized that the purple flowers growing on the big trees next to him were blooming.


"Huh? i. i. it's a cannibal flower!" Mumbled Lina softly who was currently being extremely shocked and scared.


Lina decided to jump back, keeping her distance from the cannibals.


"The territory of the Demon clan is truly terrifying. There are dangers everywhere. I should always be vigilant and more careful." Inner Lina.


Right now, in front of him was not only a demon that was pacing around on patrol, but also a gigantic jellyfish that was extremely frightening, which made Lina not dare to move anywhere. He could only hide at the edge of the forest and wait for a long time, until he finally got a chance to move again soon.


"HUP! BRUCK!"


...........


At this moment, a group of demon troops had just returned from outside the cave, carrying a lot of food and grass.


Rarely do animals come out to forage, as it is currently being covered by snow. That's why most of their catch, are Fish and Shrimp. All these Fish and Shrimp they pack in some big leather bags.


Seeing this golden opportunity, Lina looked for the right time, and then entered into one of the leather bags to hide.


"HUP!"


Shortly thereafter, leather bags containing the food were transported and taken to the lighthouse by the lake.


Fortunately, this lighthouse was the same lighthouse, with the one that Handi Kobra and the others had just entered.


"CRUMBLE! BRUK! BRUCK!"


Leather bags filled with food were thrown into the cellar. And incidentally, Lina's current position was right below, and was crushed by the fishes and Shrimp.


"AKH! My branches seem like a lot of them are almost destroyed!" Lina's screams in her mind.


Inevitably, Lina could only wait until the food-carrying demons left, then she dared to come out of the leather bag.


"Ughhhh! Its fishy smell was so pungent, it made me almost faint!"


He rubbed his tree body against the wall until the fishy smell was gone, before leaving the cellar and sneaking up.


To reduce the noise, Lina laid her tree body like a person who was lying on the first rung of stairs, then used her branches to pull the body of the tree, and then, and start climbing the next steps one by one.


The lighthouse is very tall, with many of its staircases being spiral-shaped.


"Sereet! The doroong! The sereet!" Lina mumbled softly, to encourage her who was dragging the body of her tree.


"Well.. Huh.. Huh.. Huh.."


Finally, Lina who used the twigs and roots on her tree body to climb so many steps, which made her very tired and almost fainted, arrived at a locked room and discovered Saga's whereabouts.


"That's.. Sagas.. It looks like he's resting.."


When Lina opened the window of the room, it turned out that there was a grate made of stone pillars. Fortunately, Lina's body was currently in the form of a small tree. And without encountering much difficulty, he also managed to enter through the gap between the stone pillars.


Upon entering the room, Lina was slightly surprised to see the contents inside.


"The room that Saga occupied was very spacious, in this room there were not only beds, but also tables, cabinets and chairs. It seemed, that fellow was still very concerned about his nephew.."


In the corner of the room there is also a large vase, which is planted with several flowers that are now in perfect bloom.


"Luckily, it's not the kind of cannibal plant I saw in the forest.." Inner Lina as she looked at the flowers planted in the vase.


Because it was too weak, Saga could not change its form to its Orc form. He could only curl his body to lie on a stone bed, in the form of a Piton Snake.


It was also seen that the wounds on his body had been treated with medicinal herbs, which now looked much better. Although it has not healed completely, but it is not as terrible as before.


Seeing this, Lina poked out her twig to gently touch the Snake, then called out to him with her soft-sounding voice, "Saga.."


But, the Piton Snake did not respond to it at all.


Lina hugged the body of the Piton Snake and prayed for it.


"You should get well soon.. Saga.."


...........


Every now and then, Handi Kobra would come to this room to visit Saga and give her medicine.


At times like this, Lina would usually hide in a vase, and remain motionless, to pretend to be a plant along with the flowers.


"Hopefully he doesn't realize I'm here."


...........


On the third day, Saga finally woke up from her stupor.


Lina felt so excited when she saw this, that the branches on her tree body trembled.


The python opened its eyes and looked around, as if it were wondering, "Where is this?"


He did not notice that there was a small, thin tree nearby.


At this moment, Lina was waving her tree branch while saying in her not-so-hard voice, "Saga.. Look down.. I was right here.. I'm under you!"


"That voice.." Thought the Piton Serpent who knew a familiar voice.


After hearing that voice, the Piton Snake immediately lowered his head and looked at the small tree nearby, then asked hesitantly, "Lina?? Is that really you?"


"Yes.. It's me!"
