WHITE DEVIL

40 Arkkana Town

“Arkkana City is a very unique city. Ancient City with unusual architecture. The houses of the people are not shaped like houses in general but rather the caves they make.” In the inn, the doctor began to tell Arif and Wira.

Introduction to Arkkana City.

“The city is in a big valley filled with giant rocks like mushrooms. Some sources say the unnatural arrangement of the stone is really a fungus that strangely undergoes the process of fusing. Well in the rock like a mushroom that the residents of Arkkana City move.” The doctor blurred his tone. Now that he had entered sleep, his room neighbors would not want to hear a rowdy sound.

Across, Arif and Wira seem to have difficulty imagining and understanding the explanation of Doctor Jago. The city is located in a valley filled with giant mushroom-shaped stones. Dizziness of this head.

With only a candle illuminated Doctor Jago returned to continue the story. “Then what we should be most aware of when we get there is Grinsekta. Listen to this carefully Wira.”

Hero nodded.

“Grinsects are insects that undergo abnormal evolution. They grew as big as adults even more. Grinsekta has many types and each type has its own uniqueness. Their basic nature is brutal, especially with objects that interfere with their territory, they will immediately attack. And according to the birds, Arkkanah is the nest of Grinsecta. If that really happens we might experience the worst case scenario.”

Arif gulps. Although Arif had heard it, a tense feeling still emerged as if Grinsekta was now standing before him with his mouth open. Horrifically.

“As for the way we deal with it if meet?” Wora asked. His eyes had not yet revealed a curse.

“There are two options. Cut him off or run away. Grinsekta has a high life force, some types are even able to live a few days without a head. So I hope you guys prepare yourself as best you can. I heard you guys learned to defend yourself, that's what I was hoping for. But still don't force. Safety is the main.”

“Besides Gransekta we also have other problems. Most of the area in Arkkana City was overseen by the Sun Protection Force. If we are found out, it will certainly be issued directly from the public. Arkkana City is now in a stingy stage and the task of the Sun Protection Force is to ensure the research runs smoothly.”

The doctor ended the explanation by blowing out the candle.

“Sleep, tomorrow we need a lot of energy. There's still a day before we get to.” The doctor immediately lies down and pulls the blanket up to the chest. He did the same thing in his bed.

Different from Arif. His head was still thinking about this Full Flower expedition.

At first he immediately agreed to it because of the adventure as well as aiming to help grandmother and Sheiny. But now, the bravery of the adventurer began to feel. Feelings of being threatened and unsafe.

Arif chose not to think long. He pulled the blanket and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow the journey continues. They left the city, stepping towards the dense forest area and the vast savannah.

Very exhausting journey. All three should wait for delman, but because they do not come the trip must be continued on foot.

Sweat pouring. A thirst filled the throat, while the water supply was exhausted. The journey under the hot sun is still long.

Fortunately, not long after, the three reached the edge of the savannah. There is a river connected to the forest. They can satisfy their thirst. Invigorating.

“We'll rest first.”Said Doctor Jago while putting a super large bag. Arif and Wira follow each other's bags.

Doctors removed the food supplies they had obtained from the city earlier. A dry bread that is hard enough in the mouth. Although hard, the shelf life of this bread is the best. The doctor gave it to Arif and Wira.

“Wira, I want to hear the reason why so want the Full Flower.” The doctor opened the subject.

The hero seemed to be silent for a moment before answering. He was weighing something. “Actually I am a human descendant of white hair.”

Arif's eyes widened, showing great shock. A hero is a descendant of white hair man?

Arif immediately left his bread and put on a good ear.

“My father is a traveler. He met his mother on one of his adventures. The love of the father and mother is not sanctioned so that the father chooses to elope. I was born in a place I don't know. In the thick forest. My mother was very affectionate but from childhood I did not like my mother.” The soul breathed heavily. This conversation seems very emotional.

“I also think my mother's white hair is weird and disgrace. Because of his white hair we and our family had to avoid society. Because of mom, our lives are so heavy. My father was always strong but not for me. I hate life so much it_” Wira's face is subdued in. “I never even considered my mother.”

“From my mother's death I thought our lives would improve. But it didn't. His attitude changed completely. You are being very hard on anyone. I don't know what happened to him, maybe that's how he got his son. Maybe.” The voice sounded sad. He gave back a pause.

“My reason for looking for the Full Flower is because it is a gift that mother gave to father. You looked very happy at the time. So hopefully by bringing the Full Flower to the father, you can return the old father.” The hero finished his life story and turned to Arif.

“The Puck of Hope I stole first is for that as well, Arif. I thought, the mysterious power of the Hope Puck might be able to make you remember your mother and return to being the father you once were. Sorry." The hero subdues to Arif.

“It's okay I don't matter. The important thing is that my Hope Puck is back.” Reply Arif.

“Thanks, Arif.”

“It seems your friendship is very complicated.” Comments of Doctor Jago. The laughter then appeared. “But a friend is still a friend.”

@@@

The spring was stunned by the sight before him. After a long and tiring walk, this sight was enough to pay for it all.

The three now stood near the cliff of the valley, a steep cliff. Inside the valley were many rocks shaped like giant mushrooms. On top of the mushroom stone it was like a forest, overgrown with many trees, even seen some streams. Marvelous.

Semenatar valley bottom is also grown many plants with some river flow although little receive light.

Arif for a while can not keep his mouth shut.

Monster mushroom stones vary in size, there are many. One and the other were multileveled and grew with plants as if the stone was a soil rich in humus. Strange and extraordinary.

In some giant mushroom stones seen a lot of air fentilation and large holes. Some of the holes are connected by bridges that have been damaged and cannot be used. So there the residents of Arkkana City used to meet and live. Thought Arif.

“This Is Arkkanah City. From now on the journey is getting more dangerous. Be careful not to meet the Sun Protection Force and Grinsekta.” Doctor reminded.

Wira and Arif nodded. “Good.”

The doctor walked ahead. From the edge of the cliff the doctor jumped onto one of the stone mushrooms, Arif and Wira followed. The surface of the stone mushroom was smothered, creating a small lake.

“Mushroom stone surface is rich in elements that plants need so many plants grow.”Doctor Jago explained.

Arif and Wira looked around without even turning away. Both of them entered a different dimension.

They're getting into the woods. It turned out that in it grew a variety of vegetation that was never seen. It is strangely shaped with an unusual color.

Blue, purple, and orange leafy trees. There are also fruits with insect-like shapes. Leaves of vines with unusual shapes. Tree trunk that has strange wrinkles on the surface of the trunk. Some even look like faces.

This place is amazing.

“Stop.” The doctor said suddenly. His right arm stretched out against the path of Arif and Wira.

“There are some people in front. It seems they are the Sun Protection Force.” Doctor Jago's eyes stared intently ahead.

Arif and Wira are silent, waiting for the doctor's next warning. Arif looked ahead. Check in from the hiding place.

In front there are many men and some women who are clustered. They wore black-black uniforms with white sun emblems on the backs of the shirts. Unmistakably, they were the Sun Protection Force.

Most of them armed themselves with swords. The rest carried long guns.

Two of them had very pale faces, male and female. Sweat flooded the grimacing face enduring the pain. Both of them sat down to the tree.

On the woman's shoulder was a deep bite wound. Bandages that are used to bandage the wound become reddish.

While the man is worse. The pain is hard to describe. Many times the face held the pain as if it was being subjected to torture. The man's right arm is no longer there. Leave a terrible wound wrapped in bandages.

Seeing that made Arif close both his eyes. What a horrible sight. Arif never imagined the search for the Full Flower would come to this.

“It looks like they were attacked by Gransekta. You guys don't go far. I have an idea that we are free from the interference of the Sun Grasping Force.” Doctor Jago came out of hiding and met the Sun Protection Force group twenty meters away from him.

Arif's mental state is in disarray. This was the first time he had seen human blood shed this much. His stomach feels nauseous. “Hold Arif.” Said the Hero next to Arif.

Arif wiped his mouth with an arm then took a light breath. “Thanks.”

Arif was amazed by Wira who could still put on a normal facial expression even in this condition.

“Awas!” Teraik Wira, his right hand pulled the nape of Arif tightly until the two rolled on the ground.

Arif stared around, trying to digest the incident that was so fast happening. One second later his eyes stared at something that made the fur crouch.

A giant, brown-brick centipede stood in front of him. About three meters high, it was not completely. His body was long covered in thick scales. The legs are sharp-tipped, like rows of swords. His face was hideous, dark with flaming yellow eyes and large fangs.

The perfect fear freezes Arif.
