Lush trees shut off access to sunlight from the sky, making the bottom of the forest appear darker, just blame the giant trees that are greedy for sunlight.
Jean had been walking for half a day in Valir's footsteps.
Jean had met a flock of leeches the size of an adult cat, their shape was very creepy, with bald black skin without fur and a round mouth full of sharp teeth wrapped around their mouths.
The more sinister herd of leeches wriggled towards Jean.
Jean's head hair became tense, she was at a loss as to what to do, the herd of leeches was so numerous there was no way she could defeat them with a small dagger in her hand.
But fortunately Valir gave Jean a small bottle of clear green liquid, and she had Jean rub the liquid all over her body, to cover body odor and disguise it with the smell of plants that are very stinging and hated by insects.
So the liquid also works for insect repellents, if in the world Marrissa is like a mosquito repellent.
When he took a short break to eat, on the sidelines ate the fruit from the Vedis Jean asked, saying,
"Until where are we in the forest?"
Jean could not tell the forest apart or recognize the forest she was in because she had only been through it for the first time.
"We're still in forest X, eat fast and we'll walk again." Valir replied that he continued to include grapes like grapes but transparent like water droplets.
How to eat Valir so neat and elegant looks very in accordance with his beautiful face.
Moreover, Valir's blue eyes remind Jean of Juno's eyes are also blue. The difference belongs to Valir is dark blue while Juno is light blue.
Jean did not realize that the color of the blue pupils is only owned by the Elf race because in the world of origin Marrissa is not uncommon for blue-eyed people either the original color or artificial lens.
After eating they walked again to continue the journey, in the forest X Jean saw many strange plants or fruits.
Jean did not dare to take it because she did not know whether the plant was poisonous or had a certain danger, plus she also could not make a breakthrough path for the exchange of objects from the X forest in the human city.
So now Jean is focused on walking as fast as possible so that she can get out of the forest area X.
Suddenly Valir stopped, Jean had not noticed the stopping of the person in front so she hit the wide back of the man in front of her.
"Ouh, sorry, sorry." Jean touched his forehead.
"Shh." Valir turned to give a silent signal.
Jean is curious, what happened, but seeing Valir's cue she realizes that something is dangerous.
Jean heard heavy footsteps that were getting closer to Meraka.
Valir then grabs Jean's waist, and,
"Close your eyes." After saying that one hand of Valir the other pointed up from inside his sleeve came out green tendrils that propagated upwards and pulled Valir's body and Jean up.
Jean who was shocked with Valir's embrace did not have time to close her eyes, what followed was the light sensation of losing her footing, the trees before her as if moving downwards at high speed.
It was similar to the feeling when Marrissa boarded a turbo drop ride at an amusement park where passengers climbed up quickly and moved down at higher speeds.
But this time Jean only felt the feeling of going up, but at a speed that was many times the speed of the rides he had climbed.
Out of fear, Jean turned her head to choose to look at Valir's face, whose neck and lower chin are now clearly visible because she looked up to focus with tendrils and pepohoan above.
Due to the proximity of Jean and Valir, Jean can smell like the distinctive pine tree smell of Valir's body.
The sight made Jean gawk, even had time to swallow because of the sight of Valir's jakun who clearly seemed to increase the value of masculinity.
Without realizing Jean's legs again felt the footing.
It was only after Valir looked at Jean that the woman regained her consciousness that she immediately moved away from Valir's embrace, but the times Jean found no other footing in the next step.
Jean's body will fall, but Valir swiftly catches Jean's hand and pulls her closer, until Jean's position stabilizes.
Hearing that Jean who wanted to look down undoes her intentions.
Jean clutched more firmly on Valir's arm.
Realizing Jean's fear of heights, Valir once again hesitates whether Jean is really Vin's daughter.
"Don't panic, calm down, until the beast below goes we can just come down." Valir calms Jean still with a whisper.
If heard it sounds heavy footsteps from below, but because the height of Jean and Valir is so that the sound of heavy steps is not as loud as before.
Hearing that Jean did not dare to make the slightest noisy movement, she was still stiff as a statue.
There was a curiosity as to what kind of dangerous savage star was within the X forest, but Jean did not dare to look down.
Valir kept looking down watching the movements of the ferocious beasts down there.
After the sound of the heavy steps got smaller, and then it disappeared, Valir looked up and said,
"He's gone, we can go down."
Jean was relieved but stiffened back to hear the word go down.
Valir repeats the process of taking Jean down like the first time, Jean closes her eyes and steps in following the direction from Valir's hand and not how long they have retraced back on the ground.
Actually as an independent career woman in the world of origin Marrissa was very embarrassed and felt helpless because there was nothing in this world, she could only rely on the help of Valir.
"It's so embarrassing, I can't be like this teru, I have to be brave." Marrissa was determined to strengthen her mentality.
Now he was in a world filled with danger, so he also needed to adjust and be more courageous on the things he feared in the home world one of which was fear of heights.
The process of going up and down trees is often repeated because many wild animals are dangerous.
But Jean slowly began to dare to open a little gap in his eyes watching the process of up and down from the tree with an unimaginable height.
Although his hand still could not he control to not tighten gripping Valir's arm.
Avoidance by going up and down trees does not always run smoothly because they also had time to meet wild animals that live in the trees.
At that time Jean and Valir met a giant snake in green like tree leaves, so Valir did not realize it from the beginning.
It was fortunate that Valir moved quickly with the tendrils he controlled being able to knock the snake off the tree trunk.
"Reproof...." The sound of the falling serpent.
But a few moments later there were loud screams and very frightening blows.
Jean ventured to look down, bracing herself if she was safe on the tree.
So with her arms held tightly to Valir's, Jean finally looked down.
Due to the height of the tree, the giant green snake below looked smaller.
It appears that the snake is currently wrapped around the body of a large animal like a tyrex dinosaur but the dinosaur has many spines on its back.
The savage beast was like a fusion of tyrex with hedgehogs.
Due to the sharp thorns on the tyrex's body, the giant green snake was not his opponent, he was killed by the sharp bite of Tyrex hedgehog as well as the snake's body being pierced by sharp thorns.
Jean cringes and helps,
"The world is really dangerous."
