In front of them was a very dense jungle, even so, the trees in this forest looked stunted as if their energy was being eaten by something.
Thousands of species of plants grow in this jungle, but most of them are poisonous plants.
These poisonous plants will carry out photosynthesis differently from plants in general where most of them will emit toxic fumes from photosynthesis instead of oxygen.
As a result, the Toxic Jungle seemed to be filled with foul-smelling yellow smoke. Even so, this toxic smoke will not harm the animals in the Bog forest.
They seem to have a body that adapts to the harshness of life in the Bog forest, even many of these animals make these poisonous plants as their daily food.
However, this toxic fumes will become very dangerous when night comes and the white fog begins to dominate the Bog forest.
The toxic fumes that come out of these plants will mix with the white fog and cause a chemical reaction and become gas that is even more dangerous than the deadliest chemical weapons in the modern era.
If you inhale the gas then death is a gift, most of the victims will be trapped in a dream that continues until the end of their lives.
The dream will make the victim faint and unconscious. Slowly the body will rot from within and become fertilizer for the plants in the Toxic Jungle.
Victims will stay alive and feel their bodies become rotten and eaten by plants until eventually their brains will rot and die.
In this very dangerous jungle lives a monster race that has a very different appearance from other monster races.
They have the body of a female human but from the waist down their body is shaped like an insect-eating flower.
Their human bodies are very beautiful and sexy, having small and big curves in the right places. Their hair is silky and flowing like the waves of the sea in the rainbow light.
They have different scents but none of their scents can be matched by any of the greatest man-made perfumes.
Their red eyes always stare spoiled at anyone who passes by, with thick lips and seductive smiles there is not a single man who does not turn to take a second look.
Most of them have pale green skin that is supple and soft to the touch. The smoothness of their skin will not be achieved by any skin cosmetic humans can achieve.
They are the personification of the word Hot Woman.
They are alraune.
However, those who know how Alraune actually survives will immediately stay away from every place that Alraune passes.
"Moku, are we really going to enter the Toxic Jungle?" Ez asked.
"Of course Ez, we have to find the alraune before nightfall. I don't want to dream to death" Moku nodded.
"Don't goblins have immunity to the poison smoke in this forest?" Nerphyl asked.
"Of course we have, but what's dangerous about the Toxic Jungle is not the poisonous smoke but the monsters who live in it. I don't know if I'm immune to alraune too!!" Ez protested.
Unlike goblins, alraune are carnivores, they cannot eat plants and their diet consists of meat from the animals they catch.
The alraune has the ability to release odors that can hypnotize its prey. The hypnotized prey will see the alraune as the most beautiful woman they have ever seen.
The alraune would then catch them and pull them inside the flower at their feet. The flower will then close and digest them slowly.
So that it can be said that the alraune's actual body is not a human-shaped upper body, but a flower-shaped lower body.
Their human body was only used to spread a hypnotic smell into the air and draw men closer.
"Well.. won't you find out soon??" Swa elbowed Ez who was next to him.
"ouch.. can you not do it? my body not as tough as you! and what do you mean by that??" Ez snorted.
"Swa means that you will find out soon enough because you are the one who will enter the Toxic Jungle" Laya replied.
"Yeah I know that, but aren't you guys coming with me too? So I'm just asking you to protect— why are you looking at me like that?" Ez had a bad feeling.
"Ez, we can't come with you. If we all come then the alraune will feel that our arrival is not well-meaning" Moku replied.
"That's right Ez, when a group is about to enter the territory of another group, it's good to send an envoy to the ruler of the region so there is no misunderstanding.
We want to negotiate with alraune so it's only right that we show good faith and send an envoy first. Aren't you a diplomat? in the human world it is a very important job!" Nerphyl added.
"Diplomat!!! The bait you mean?! After all, why should I go alone? I understand why Moku can't accompany me, because it would make us look down on if the leader comes first but why not Swa, Laya, Tam, you, or Nezena accompany me? " Ez snorted in protest.
"We orcs won't be able to hold back if we meet alraune, it's very likely that Swa or I will get out of control and decapitate them the first time we see" Laya explained.
"That's right, my body will get goosebumps and my stomach will get nauseous when I see them. And their smell is.. Ueekkkhhh!! I even want to throw up when I think about it" Swa couldn't stand it.
All alraune have upper bodies in the form of beautiful female humans. So it was strange that the perverted and always horny orcs had no interest in them.
However, the truth is that Alraune is the most disgusting monster race for orcs. For a reason that made their hairs stand on end thinking about it.
The correct pronoun for the alraune is actually not 'she' but 'they', alraune has no gender, they reproduce by dividing like an amoeba.
When the alraune has absorbed enough nutrients, it will copy its own DNA in one of the body's organs and implant it in the soil. After that, the organ will grow into a new alraune.
Although the new alraune came from the organs of the previous alraune, they had different characteristics and properties. This is due to the mixing of new genes from the prey eaten by alraune.
However, the new alraune will still have the same type of flower as the original alraune body. So actually Alraune can be grouped into 9 families.
Orcs have a strange ability in the form of an instinct to know the sex of any living creature. So when they see Alraune's body which is 100% female, there will be a conflict between these instincts and their sense of sight.
This created chaos and confusion in the orc's mind that would throw the orc out of control.
The best thing that will happen when the orc sees the alraune is vomit while the worst thing is that the orc will immediately move to kill. With their confusion gone the orcs would regain their composure.
Then the orc's sensitive nose would be stung by the sweet smell of alraune. They will become unbearable and may again move to kill them.
"I have no immunity to the toxic smoke of the Toxic Jungle" Nezena replied.
"I am the queen! Who are you to rule the queen!" Nerphyl snorted.
"Ehh.. I'm a woman.. hehehe, how come you want to tell a woman to enter a dangerous forest.. hehe" Tam reasoned and scratched her head.
'Fuck! what a reason! You are even stronger than me! I want to be a woman too!!' Ez can only cry inside.
"Ez, you better leave immediately, I'm afraid it's going to be night soon. We won't have time to find a place to hide" said Moku.
"That's right Ez, even with the orc regeneration ability, we won't be able to survive the Toxic Jungle's poisonous gas at night," Swa said. While Laya nodded and agreed with Swa's words.
"Ez, believe me, The One will always be with you. You will not be alone in the dark jungle" said Nezena.
"Ez! You are such a coward! You better cut your cock! You better get into that jungle before I'm the one who cut it" said Nerphyl.
"Ez, I will die if I inhale poison gas, do you want to see the prettiest goblin dream to death?" Tam said.
Until they without any warning and prior preparation said in the same tone and the same words.
"Ez!!! You need to go!!"
Ez could only open and close his mouth like a suffocating fish. He felt that his destiny had been determined from the start of this journey, to become a diplomat.. No.. bait for their group.
Ez then shouted angrily "Yes.. Yes!! I'm leaving!! If I die in this jungle then my soul will hunt you forever!"
He snorted angrily, before turning around, and entering the Toxic Jungle. He didn't want to see the faces of his friends for fear of losing his courage.
With a heart full of annoyance, Ez stepped in deeper. Yellow smoke became clearer and began to fill the ground he was stepping on.
But as he said before, goblins have immunity to the toxic smoke of the Toxic Jungle, he just has to be careful not to inhale the toxic smoke directly from the plant source.
Step by step, Ez continued to walk cautiously. Until the yellow smoke blocked his vision and he could no longer see Moku and the others.
At that moment the giggling sounds of women were heard. The giggling grew louder and louder. The sound of flesh dragging on the ground started to make Ez's hair stand on end.
"My name is EZ! I was sent to meet the leader of the alraune tribe!" Ez shouted with all his might but his voice succumb to the girl's giggling voice.
"Hehehe.. sister, looks like we're going to eat goblin soup tonight" came a soft female voice showing that she was still young.
"hihihi.. that's right, even though I don't like goblins because they are so skinny, but we can't refuse food, right?" a deeper female voice sounded indicating she was older than her sister.
Ez was getting more and more scared, a loud alarm sounded in his head signaling the approaching danger.
"MY NAME IS EZ. I WAS SENT BY KUMOKU TO MEET THE LEADER OF ALRAUNE. I AM A DIPLOMAT HURTING, KILLING, OR EATING ME WILL MAKE THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN KUMOKU AND YOUR LEADER EVEN MORE DIFFICULT!" Ez shouted with all his might.
"Hihihi, what is a diplomat, sis?" the little sister asked.
"Maybe it's one of the cooking ingredients to make goblin meat more delicious.. hihihi" the big sister replied.
"So he invited us to eat him, right?" the little sister asked.
"hihihi.. of course, this goblin is very good, let's give him a sweet dream before eating it" the big sister replied.
The sound of giggling and the dragging of flesh getting louder and louder made Ez's body shiver with fear.
"My friends and KuMoku are nearby! Don't come any closer or they will come to kill you all! They will take my revenge! Let me meet with your leader!" Ez struggled to get a sound out of his throat which was choked with fear.
The giggling and dragging of flesh stopped. Before Ez could heave a sigh of relief, the sound of flesh dragging grew faster as if the person behind the sound was accelerating her movements.
Ez's sight suddenly became blurred. He knew that alraune were trying to hypnotize him. Ez tried hard to stay awake.
"My name is Ez.. I am a diplomat who was sent by KuMoku to meet the leader of the alraune. You can't hurt me, my friends are around here" said Ez with a staggered body.
The sound of flesh being dragged closer and closer. Until Ez could see a big tall figure through his blurry eyes.
"No...no..no.n" Ez fell unconscious.
