as time continued to pass I observed the long-handed monster slowly starting to disappear from my sight ..
"humm ?? "
I moved my head to focus even more on observing the movements of the monsters, these monsters if noticed like someone was controlling them to return, like a sheepherder who herded his sheep to return home
come to think of it. Why did the monsters seem to focus on targeting us. whereas before when I was together with marissa and clara there was no such thing. I didn't even find those long-handed monsters though.
humm.., this is confusing..
" what is it ? "
suddenly I was astonished to look at it from a distance, I was like seeing something fast in the shadows..
if you pay attention to the details of the shape is not so clear, but I can make sure that it is not human.
what was this creature that was previously seen by rara and clara on the hill at that time?
what other creatures are cleaning up this time??
I hope he doesn't come to attack us..
hopefully..
the dawn had come along with the chirping of the birds that I had never heard before.
sure is..
usually the chirping of the bird signifies the sky and a bright atmosphere, but here there is no such thing, there is only the darkness of the forest and the thick fog.. even so I was still lucky to hear the voice, it signified I was still living on the same earth
" hup "
I jumped down from the tree I was climbing before and went back to check on the state of my comrades who were on the large rock standing upright.
I was curious.there was some kind of carved pattern on the stone when I had it removed last night, but due to the darkness of the night in the added panic when the monsters approached me so it was not free to check it..
" are you awake?? " i asked from under the rock that stood upright it called rara, nico and marissa who were on it
" vinn ?? " ansaid Rara looked down from the top of the rock and hurriedly descended down after seeing me.
" are you all right on this rock ? "
" maybe it would be comfortable if not for the noisy nico" said Marissa pursed her mouth.
" noisy ? "
" tsk, that nico hasn't even woken up after sleeping so well last night "
" humms ?? are you even thinking of sleeping up there with the creatures still spreading beneath you ? "
" it was a very sad situation when the monsters were trying to climb this big rock, but after a while the atmosphere got better when the monsters were powerless to climb on the rock.." clara said as she walked closer to me after coming down from the rock
" humm.., thank goodness you're okay.just how could that nico fall asleep in such a gripping state. "
" maybe he's exhausted ? "
" even though he was exhausted ra. "I began to hold my forehead imagining how relaxed this nico was while sleeping on the stone "haaa.. anyway nico was not able to calm down for a while and immediately slept "
" hihi "
" oh yes, did any of you observe the shape of the large rock that stood upright ? "
" right brother. I had time to wonder how can this four-meter-high stone has a size that is almost similar to the distance as it has been set "
this observation of clara is indeed great.he pays good attention to his surroundings.he is not just just walking in his place stepping.
" do you think the shape of this stone also looks strange ? "
" yes, at first I did not pay much attention to the shape of the two standing stones, but, as I tried to make my way up I found a unique pattern in the rock "
" umm ? what kind of pattern do you mean that vinn ? " tanya marissa approached with a curious face
" i don't know, last night wasn't very clear because it was too dark "
" humms ?? I was curious ? " clara said thinking while propping up her chin
" my guess of structure and shape and distance between the two stones seems to be two markers for entering a region "
" No ! " along with that voice my hand involuntarily landed onto nico's head quickly
" ouch ! bro why are you pinching my head ?? " while holding the aching head with both hands, Nico asked me
" do I have to give you a reason why I'm snapping at you ? isn't it still lucky I didn't swing my sword when you surprised everyone here "
" hehh ! ja.jangan bro.dong killed me if you play slash. "
" anyways, you're doing nico.
sneaking around and shouting like that "
" oh clara.., not that I'm sneaking around. I just don't want to mess up your serious-looking conversation when I just got off that rock "
" cherry. "
" don't just talk bad.it's evil.., don't you care about me Clara. My head hurts.. ".
" no ! at all "
" huft's.. "
a slight beam of morning sunlight although not bright but this can make me to see the objects in front of me..
" vinn what are you doing ? "
rara asked me who was touching one of the upright stones with my hand
" i was examining this large stone, and it turned out to be true my guess.it was a marker statue to enter a region "
" region? you mean some kind of village or settlement? "
" i don't know, I'll clean these two statues first to clarify the shape and pattern of the carvings "
" bro? let me help "
" okay. let's clean the earth that filled the statue. "
After some time me and nico were finally able to clear the ground covering the statues
" I.this is !? "
we were all surprised to see the amazing thing that was in front of us
the magnificent statue is shaped like a human who holds a spear and there is a dragon carving wrapped around the body of the statue
" it's amazing and gives me great goosebumps" said nico tensely hugging his stocky body
" if from the form of these two statues. seems to be a relic of ancient times ? "
" it seems so clara. this statue is like a marker to enter the territory of a large kingdom in antiquity "
" the great kingdom ? but here there is only dense forest and fog" said Marissa while examining her surroundings seriously
" what could this be about a supernatural kingdom or something. hihhh ! "
" settle down nico. Your fear only adds to the seeds of tension between us "
" sorry brother, but I'm really scared this time "
" hmph ! aren't you always a coward !? "
" clara..., can you support me for once ..? I'm sad. "
" cih. bodo is "very "
" then what should we do now vinn ? " asked Rara to me while holding both hands on her body, she was trying to cover up the fear within her
" this is. For now we find a solution first how to overcome the monsters with long hands.I have some speculation in my brain.. "
" what's that about, bro ?? "
" have you ever wondered why those monsters seemed to be targeting us for two nights ? "
