章節 154: Dark Water

The loose vines, slippery and wet, ensnaring Europa's tail in their grip, but he quickly wriggled free, before continuing to flee. 

But the ground beneath him was slippery and soft. In the absence of solid vines to stand on, all that remained was wet ground dripping with rotting dark water and Europa struggled to free himself from the multiple vines that reached out for his body.

His heart began pounding more fiercely as he heard Artemis call out from further ahead of the group. [Keep running! Don't stop for anythin-] 

The rest of his words were drowned out by the horrible croaking cry of a creature pursuing them from above. With Artemis's voice so faint and with his body quickly disappearing into the muck, Europa feared he would be left behind.
