Patrons were layered one by one open to make their entrance. Darren, Haura and Evan stepped in first after the protector opened. The core disciples of the magic academy followed them from behind and entered into the forbidden forest.
"We arrived. Remember what Mr. Darren said. We must together walk through the forest and find the herbal mushroom." Haura and Evan said to her students as a companion teacher.
"Do you remember the message I sent you?" ask Darren.
"Ready sir." Say them together in different places.
High and lush trees lined up along the eye of the beholder. Both tall and short shrubs are clearly visible under the short Venus tree. There was nothing they saw except the trees.
"So we've arrived?" alice and Darren asked, nodding their heads.
"Is this where uncle used to be?" ask Arlan.
"Of course, I don't remember clearly. Because what I saw in the past was also just some kind of monster. But what is clear is that this is the place." Reply Darren who looked around carefully.
Darren who had not been in a place like this for a long time. Darren just stood up and closed his eyes to listen to the sound of running water.
"What's up, Papa?" alice asked who saw Darren stop stepping and closed her eyes.
"Listen to the sound of the stream." Answer Darren.
"the river?" ask Alice and Arlan together.
"Yes. The fungus lives in a humid place. It could have lived around the river. I just want to make sure it's for us to step in search of the herbal mushroom." Answer Darren.
"Oh." Alice and Arlan also stood up and tried to listen to the flow of the river sounds.
"I didn't listen to anything." Alice answered who opened her eyes and saw two people who were still closing their eyes.
"Father, Arlan." Call Alice to make them open their eyes.
"I." Answer those who open their eyes and look at Alice.
"Arlan could use her earth magic to locate the waters of the river." Reply Alice who gives the option to ask Arlan to use her earth magic. Arlan could sense the river water using earth magic.
"True, why did you follow Uncle Darren." Reply to Arlan who is smiling. Arlan touched the ground and began to feel the water flowing into the ground. Arlan felt the gurgling water flowing fast which he called it river water.
"How's Arlan?" alice asked to look at Arlan who had opened his eyes and raised his hand.
"I've found him. We keep moving forward." Answer Arlan.
"good. Come on." Darren replied with a smile. Darren pulled out his sword and started making his way by cutting the tall grass into the stream.
"I'll go with uncle." Replied Arlan who pulled out his sword and helped Darren open the net. Arlan does not allow Darren to open the way and asks Darren to stay behind and look after Alice. Those who walk with Arlan's pointer and not to the extent.
"Is it far away?" ask Alice.
"Yes. We've been a long way from the river since we got in." Answer Arlan.
"It's just worth it." Answer Alice.
"Stop." Replied Darren who sensed there was a powerful magic aura approaching them.
"What's uncle?" ask Arlan.
"I felt someone approaching." Answer Darren. Alice and Arlan immediately closed their eyes and sensed the magic power that Darren meant.
"Get up the tree." Darren answered them both.
Quickly, Arlan and Alice and Darren use hovering magic. The three of them went up the tree and set themselves on the trunk of the tree of Venus. A large tree that enough to accommodate 10 people on the field of tree trunks that stick in the ground.
A pitch-black snake with a body of about 30 meters with a weight of 5, tons has passed and is chasing a herd of earth rats that have a weight of half a ton.
"Did?" ask Alice.
"Stttt." Darren replied to Arlan and Alice not to make any noise. They just need to look from above.
The snake and mouse just passed from under them without feeling the existence of Alice, Arlan and Darren.
"Thank you." Answer Darren.
"Why don't we fight him?" ask Alice.
"We could've beaten him but it'll invite you other monsters around to come to us. And it'll be troublesome." Answer Darren.
"I just saw a snake that big Papa, even a rat that big like that." Answer Alice.
"me too. So this is what's called a forbidden forest?" ask Arlan.
"Yes. This forest holds many animals that grow and live like never before. Rare plants and other plants as well. The things that were inside the forbidden forest were unusual living creatures. Not to mention about the monsters that live in this place." Answer Darren.
"The forbidden forest is where strange living things live." Alice answered briefly.
"Yes right. Therefore, avoid as much as possible the fight against them. Or it'll be troublesome for us." Answer Darren.
"Good uncle." Answer Arlan.
"Okay papa." Answer Alice.
We're going down again." Darren replied, ordering the two of them to come down from the tree.
"The snake's path gave us a little flight of a road not high in grass." Darren answered looking at the snake path that had just passed by.
"Yes. It also seems they're heading towards the river." Answer Arlan.
"Are we still going that way? We're afraid we'll meet them at the river." Answer Alice.
"We go first, if indeed they are still around the river we will avoid it." Answer Darren.
"okay." Answer Arlan.
"When did you find the mushroom where it was?" ask Alice.
"In a cave not far from the river. But, the fungus grew on the trunk of an old tree that had not grown for a long time. The trunk of the tree is in a cave with low humidity. So papa thinks we're gonna find that mushroom near the stream." Answer Darren.
"True, in ancient books it has also been explained that herbal mushrooms live in the rainy season. He will grow on top of an old tree with high humidity temperature nutrients and in a place that is not too luminous." Answer Arlan.
"I know that too. So the only place is a cave?" ask Alice.
"Maybe, by going deeper into the forbidden forest. We'll find him." Darren answered Alice and Arlan.
"Yes. We'll try our best to complete this mission quickly." Arlan replied to Alice and Darren.
