Chapter 145 - The Monsters

"I don't know... but it looks smaller than the moon, is the planet that small?" a question asked by Zach at that time, made Lucas now exhale and then say,

"It's not shaped like an ordinary planet, Zach! The size is indeed small, maybe the size can be called 300 kilometers?" Lucas said to those who were now frowning and then Vernon said,

"Not shaped like a planet? You mean it's not round?!" asked Vernon which then made Lucas nod his head there and then say,

"Yep! They are shaped like floating islands!" Lucas said to all of them who were now looking at Lucas as if they couldn't believe what Lucas was saying at that time, and Lucas realized it then said,

"Believe me! That's how it looks like!" Lucas said to the three.

Wow!!!!

The wind hit Wilson's face hard after they had managed to arrive at the beach, but it seemed that their destination had not yet arrived, until finally Nick asked Yedda to speed up their boat with the strong wind.

How far is our location, Nick? And what exactly are we looking for in this sea?!" a question that was asked by Wilson at that time finally made Nick now exhale and then say,

"Stone! We have to find a rock, Wilson!" Nick replied to Wilson, who of course not only Wilson but Yedda and also Kendrick were now frowning in unison after they had heard Nick's answer at that moment.

"Stone?? um… it's not just an ordinary rock right Nick?" asked Kendrick who immediately made Nick laugh and nodded his head in response,

"Of course the stone is very precious! We have to look for it… but we can't make noise, or else they'll hear and we'll be in trouble!" said Nick to the three, which of course made Wilson, Yedda and Kendrick now frown at the same time and then made Kendrick now ask,

"They? Who are they?" Kendrick asked Nick, who was now reluctant to answer Kendrick's question there, which of course made the three of them look at each other now. Which of course they felt that many things were kept secret by Nick from them at that time, which then made Yedda immediately stop the wind that was blowing there, which of course made Nick, Kendrick and Wilson surprised by it.

"Yedda?!" Nick asked Yedda who was now looking at him seriously and then said,

"Why didn't you ever want to open up to us Nick? I won't do what you say if you keep things a secret from the three of us!" Yedda said to Nick which then made Kendrick and Wilson feel that it was true, which made both of them now nod in response to Yedda's words there.

"Yeah! We won't be following your words either if you don't tell us something about all this!" said Wilson, which finally made Nick exhale tiredly when he saw the childish nature of all of them, which of course made Nick feel that this would only buy him time if it wasn't resolved by then.

"Have you ever heard of sea monsters? They are the ones who will target us if they know that we are looking for the stone! So please shut up and follow everything I say! It's for our safety and for everyone's sake!" Nick explained to Yedda, Kendrick and Wilson. After hearing what Nick explained to the three at that time, the three of them looked at each other to make Yedda now start to control the wind again and move their boat very fast at that time.

"So… is it far from here, Nick?" Kendrick asked Nick who then looked up at the sky and then pointed at one of the blue stars, which then made Nick say,

"If the star up ahead is right above us, then we're there, Kendrick!" said Nick to Kendrick, which made not only Kendrick but Yeddan and Wilson now stare at the star. And made Yedda nodded his head and again added the speed of the wind there so that the boat going there was even faster.

…

Unlike Nick and Yeda, Wilson and Kendrick, Lucas and the three others have now arrived right at the top of the volcano on the island, which of course makes them feel tired, especially Vernon and Aidan. The two people were now sitting down while sipping the drinking water they had brought earlier.

"Hah… hhh…. hahaha... crazy! This is crazy, why do we have to go this far when we have the teleporter?!" said Vernon while shaking his head, at the same time Aidan threw his body onto the arid ground at that time.

"Hahh… hahh… I'm tired…" said Aidan, and that made Lucas turn to look at him and then say,

"How can you feel tired, Aidan? Aren't you a healer?" a question that was asked by Lucas at that moment immediately made Aidan now turn to look at him very sharply as he said,

"You think I have a lot of power to heal my strength huh?! I can't possibly heal if I'm exhausted, Lucas!" clearly Aidan commented on Lucas's words at that time, which then made Lucas exhale while shaking his head in response to that.

Unlike Lucas, Zach is now looking into the volcano there, the size of the hole is very wide, which then makes Zach now say,

"Is this volcano active?" a question that was asked by Zach at that time made Vernon, Lucas and Aidan now turn their eyes to Zach which then made Vernon now say,

"Do you think this mountain is active, Zach?" a question that was asked by Vernon at that time made Zach now cock his head feeling unsure of the opinion he currently has.

"I don't know… I'm not sure of my own opinion, because I feel that this smoke could be poisonous to us!" Zach said to Vernon, which then made Lucas turn his head to look at the smoke coming out of the surface of the lava that looked dry there.

"What do you think, Lucas? Will the smoke affect us and hinder us?" Zach asked Lucas who then made Lucas exhale while taking out a special chemical mask so that at least they were protected from toxic fumes that might hinder us in there.

"I don't know either, but… at least we have to wear this to avoid something we don't want, which will hinder our current task!" Lucas said as he handed the masks to Aidan, Vernon who had stood up from their seat and Zach who was right beside him at that time.

"Do you know the shape of that plane, Lucas?" A question asked by Aidan, who was wearing the mask at that time, made Lucas shake his head and then tilt his head at Vernon, which Lucas then said,

"I don't know what it's like, but I guess since Vernon is handling that guy, I think he knows, do you know his form, Vernon?!" a question that was asked by Lucas in the end made Vernon now nod his head as he said,

"Eum… I once asked about the shape of the ship, and the ice lady said that their plane was shaped almost like a stingray with silver and black colors, but that wouldn't be visible because they put on disguise when they landed on this island!" Vernon said to Lucas, which then made Zach exhale and then say,

"Nice… looks like this quest won't be easy for us, Aidan!" Zach said to Aidan who was now breathing heavily. Seeing that made Lucas say,

"Whatever it is, we have to find it quickly! We certainly can!" Lucas said to Aidan who was now nodding his head,

"Are we going into this mountain now?" a question that was asked by Vernon at that moment made Lucas nod his head and extend his hand towards them, which in the end they grabbed Lucas's hand to finally actually be right inside the volcano, but luckily they landed on the edge of the rocks in the deep. the volcano.

Aidan's gaze now turned around and was surprised to find that the rock inside the volcano at that time was very wide, even beyond the lava they saw at that time.

"Can we tread freely here?" A question asked by Aidan at that moment made Vernon immediately shake his head and say,

"Not just anything I think! We still have to tread carefully… because we don't know what we're stepping on right now, Aidan!" Vernon explained to Aidan, which then made Aidan now nod his head in response to Vernon's explanation at that time.

Lucas now turned his head to look around and then slowly grabbed the pebbles that were around his footing at that time, to finally throw it in any direction to see if there was something in the area that was blocking him, because Vernon said about the disguise mode at that time.

Tuk… trakk…!!

Hearing this voice made the three people who were walking slowly and carefully now immediately turn their eyes to Lucas who had just thrown a pebble in front of them.
