NovelAppFiona thought a while and replied, “Do cannibal flowers eat people in the place where you are from?” Rosemary was more confused, “Don’t cannibal flowers in this place eat people?” The girl explained, “No. They stretch out their branches to strangle people to death when they smell them.” “Oh! Then why are they called cannibal flowers?” The woman asked, looking at the beautiful flowers not far away.
“Some insects live near these flowers and will eat the insides of those victims when they are smothered to death. Then the remains become fertilizers.” “Fiona, you are amazing. | wouldn't know that if you didn't tell me.” The woman said.
“Rosey, | have lived here since | was a baby. It's very natural for me to know these things.” They walked deeper into the forest, with Ema as a companion.
It seemed that the girl and the chimp went there a lot before.
“Fiona, when could we reach the deepest part of the woods?” They had journeyed for the first part of the day but the destination still seemed far away.
“Possibly at dusk. Are you tired?” Fiona looked at her sweating partner.
The woman managed a smile, “I am okay. Let's go ahead.” Looking around, the girl warned, “Rosey, keep going for a while before we have a rest. This place is not safe.” Knowing little about wildlife, the woman listened to her little guide, “Don’t worry about me. Let's continue.” The two people and a chimp went through the woods.
Edmund was awake for a whole night, guarding his wounded companion.
In the morning, the snakes were all gone.
“Ed!” The patient cried when he woke up, feeling acute pains in the shank.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing the cry, Edmund hurried into the tent, “You are up? You frightened me last night.” And he started to check the wound.
Rubbing his temple, the wounded was trying to clear his mind, “I encountered snakes and got bitten when | collected firewood last night?” Seeing him recover the consciousness, Edmund advised, “Be more careful afterward, and I..." Ellen covered his mouth with his hand to interrupt the lecturer; he heard something.
“Someone is here. Hide!” Ellen told Edmund.
And he let go of his hand and rose, walking outwards.
“Rosey, what is the outside world like?” Fiona asked while looking around in caution.
Rosemary thought for a while and said, “It's wonderful. There are a lot of delicious food and beautiful clothes. And anything you can think of.” “Do you want to go with me to experience it yourself someday?” She added.
“Really? Can I?" The girl was excited.
“Of course. | promise that.” “Remarkable! | can finally see the outside world!" What a pure and innocent child, the woman thought, you could excite her with such a trivial thing.
“But | only take you only if | get the consent of your grandfather.” The woman made it clear in case she ate her words in the future.
“Okay. | will talk to him when we come back.” Fiona said gravely.
Elma groaned suddenly for no clear reason.
“Hush!” Fiona knew that the chimp found something.
She whispered to the animal, which went away then.
Unaware of what happened, Rosemary stood where she was, her eyes on the girl.
In a moment, the chimp came back and gestured before her master.
“Elma said she found someone nearby.” Fiona interpreted.
“Someone?” What popped up in her mind was that a rescue team might be here.
“Shall we go check?” Rosemary wanted to find out.
“Why?” The girl noticed her companion’s excitement.
“I and Adrian have been here for quite a while. Someone might be seeking us.” If so, they could get out soon.
“You mean, they might be your friends?” “Yes!” Fiona couldn't refuse although the forest was dangerous at night.
“Alright. I'll lead the way. The place that Elma indicated is dangerous; we don't usually go there.” The woman wasn't sure of her decision to examine her hypotheses but she still wanted to give it a try.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank you, Fiona.” The guide smiled at her and led the way.
Ellen, not exempt from dizziness, was lying on his stomach under a tree.
Edmund was shadowing him and dared not go to him in case he should be found.
Fiona halted her steps suddenly and whispered to the chimp, which run forward after that.
Rosemary didn’t know what that meant but couldn't feel some horrors.
Ellen nearly fainted and failed to find a chimp standing behind him.
Seeing the chimp, Edmund took out a gun from his pocket and lurked beneath the animal.
“Ellen...Are you okay?” The man couldn't help thinking.
Edmund's hand which held the gun was sweating.
He heard that chimps didn’t hurt people but he couldn't risk it.
Ellen was unconscious. It seemed that some poison remained in his body.
Elma found a human pointing at her with something and began to grunt furiously.
