บท 153: Hidden Terror

Europa returned to the group and saw Artemis and the spaded snake were still bickering. The remaining two snakes stayed to the side, watching them awkwardly. 

The healer snake felt exhausted, it seemed he had no other choice but to tell them about the forest. He hoped their argument would stop when presented with an alternative solution.

However, on listening to his retelling of events, only the spaded snake was pleased.

[This is great!] she gushed. [Why didn't you mention it before?]

This was partly because he didn't know what to make of it either, it was his first time seeing something like it. But one thing was clear, the forest would serve their needs well and he was keen on visiting it.

But Artemis regarded his news with suspicion. [What you're saying sounds too good to be true. What sort of forest grows that fast?]
