The Adventure Of Eric (The Rescue of the Elf Princess)
37. Finding the Snow Forest

"Exit!" dimas Command.

Arjun, Robert and Hakon stay away. They understood that Dimas had the power of the Ruler of Light that had previously occupied the body of Doctor Chandra.

The place was soon empty. Dimas has to race against time. The water he had originally held back would flow profusely again, if he released his hand from the holding position.

Three of his friends keep an eye on Dimas who is preparing to do the thing he planned.

With full concentration, the man exerted his ability to control the interweaving vines and resist the dry mud on the riverbed.

"Whoops!"

Dimas' hand was now directed to where Eric was found, but could not be removed. One hand the other is still in a position to withstand the flow of river water from upstream. Little water began to seep in because it was very abundant.

Slowly Dimas' hand was raised. Along with that plants that coiled each other at the bottom of the river also lifted helplessly. Dry mud due to Arjun fire was also exposed to the top.

"Get Eric out!" dimas' orders again.

Hakon quickly darted and pulled Eric's body full of mud and did not move at all.

After that, the water dam was released by Dimas. He joins the others and instantly checks on Eric.

No one asked. They only notice Dimas is busy cleaning Eric's body with river water dropped like shower water. His mouth was filled with blackish and muddy water.

"It looks like he fought hard to escape the twists and turns of the water plant" Hakon commented.

"A water plant can prey on humans. How savage! We have to be careful in this place." Robert reminded.

"This place is so mysterious!" chirps Arjun. His head looked around him again. He's starting to be alert.

"Ohuk!" Eric finally coughed and regained consciousness after Dimas' help. He spat out a little mud from his mouth and repeatedly rinsed to clean up the remaining mud

Then he lay limp beside the river that had returned to flow quietly.

"Drink this." Hakon thrust a water bottle filled with perennial water at Eric. The young man swallowed it slowly. Sometimes he still coughed and vomited dirty liquid. But Hakon did not get tired of asking him to drink again so that he could rinse his stomach which might still store mud.

"We don't know this world" said Robert. With Arjun he's been checking around. Now they no longer dare to ignore and walk alone.

"Very different from the world known to O" Arjun said.

Robert nodded. "Also it's not what I've been through" he added.

"That dimensional wall did not lead at all to the place where we used to fall!"

"That means there's another dimensional wall still open. It's just that we can't get out of that dimensional gap anymore" Arjun said.

Hey, where are you guys?" dimas' voice sounded in the minds of the two. They immediately returned to where Eric was lying.

"We tried to check around" Robert said.

"the results?" ask Dimas.

Robert and Arjun shook their heads in response. "How likely are you to think other plants here could be predators, too, like those aquatic plants?" Arjun could not shake his worries.

Dimas turned his head to the river whose water was clear and calm. Who would have guessed if the aquatic plants inside could pull Eric's huge body into the mud?"

"The world is very mysterious. Looking at what Eric is going through, we better be vigilant. I don't know what other plants might be able to swallow us, later."

"We better not go alone in a foreign place" Hakon added.

"I'm sorry" Eric felt guilty.

"It's okay. If nothing like this happened, we wouldn't know about the weirdness of this place and probably wouldn't be vigilant, until it's too late!" Robert calmed him.

"We just continue! It's still pretty bright" Dimas replied quickly.

"All right." Arjun nodded in agreement. Then I asked Eric. "How about you" Would you like to come outside or, rest with the others?"

"I'm doing fine. I'm coming with you guys." Eric decided quickly.

"Come on then!" Dimas first floated up, followed by Hakon. They're getting ready to leave.

"So I saw another rock over there" pointed Robert.

"We'd better go up to the high ground to see the whole situation here" Dimas suggested.

"You're right. Let's go there!" Eric nodded with excitement.

The five light humans continued their journey to the rock hill referred to by Robert. They fly fast there.

Within five minutes, it was at the foot of the hill. "It is quite large and we might call it a mountain" Hakon commented.

"You're right. Let's go up on it." Dimas immediately shot up, followed by his friends. The air at the top of the rocky hill, the longer it gets colder.

"Wow!" his fifth exclaimed with his mouth open, in amazement after reaching the top.

"Is there a snow-filled pine forest you used to go to?" chirps Hakon.

In front of them was now slapped with snow along the elongated eyes. And giant pine trees everywhere.

Robert could not speak. He had just realized that looking at the snowy pine forest from a height would be different from living life down there, just like they used to be.

"Robert, is that the pine rain you're telling me about?" insist Dimas.

"I can't believe anything right now. Because the place we entered is very different from the location we fell first. We have to find a little sign first, then we can conclude it!" replied Robert.

"What sign do you want to see?" ask Arjun.

"Maybe the plane. It was the largest and easiest thing to see from a height!" robert's quick.

"Then let's just check it out!" Eric is back.

"Wait on! You can't do everything you want anymore like that. Go together!" reprimand Dimas firmly.

"Let Grandpa Kang accompany him." Arjun took Grandpa Kang out of his storage necklace.

"Woaa .. have we reached where you fell?" Grandfather Kang was stunned by the vast expanse of snow before him.

"We can't be sure if this is the same place. So we should check it out first." Robert explained quickly.

"good. I-i understand. Do I have to take care of this bad boy?" His gaze led to a pouting Eric.

"Grandfather Kang is indeed very understanding," Hakon nodded while commenting on the thin smile.

"Okay, let's check down there!" Robert gave the command. The five people quickly jumped. A huge dragon, flying beside Eric, to guard him.

Up to ten minutes they flew checking, but had not seen any sign. The snowy pine forest was extremely vast.

"I'm starting to feel cold" Hakon said.

"The day is still bright, let's check a little more. If you still can't find anything in ten minutes, then we rest and warm ourselves up" Robert said. Hakon nodded in understanding.
