Several times Elina seemed to massage the nape of Alexi's neck. The young man was completely nauseous as he followed Elina's unexpected steps.
"You make me sick," Alexi complained to Elina.
Elina chuckled at Alexi's response. It could be seen by the girl that Alexi looked pale and pitiful not to mention the contents of his stomach being shaken and just coming out of his mouth.
For a moment Elina looked around to make sure her position was still safe and had not been chased by the circle of plants that were about to attack them.
"It seems we have to keep moving," Elina said again, reminding Alexi about the rules.
Like it or not, Alexi nods his head in agreement with Elina's words.
He didn't want to die there!
"Are you ready?" Elina asked doubtfully to Alexi while holding out his hand.
Alexi nodded his head to the young man's answer. Really he can not raise his voice to answer questions from Elina.
Elina quickly pulled Alexi's hand back so that the young man could follow her rhythm, only the difference was that this time Alexi was trying to adapt to it like never before.
"Shit!" Elina screamed when she didn't find the place she expected.
"What is it?" Alexi asked quickly when he heard Elina's harsh swear words.
"This zone is different from the zone I've been through before! It seems my previous guess was right," Elina said giving a statement to Alexi.
'How does she know that this zone is different? Has she marked this place yet? Or-'
Elina glanced slightly at Alexi before unexpectedly the girl jumped herself from a very tall tree, estimated by her that the tree was more than 30 meters tall.
"Hey! Are you crazy?!" Alexi screamed very surprisedly.
Oh, come on he doesn't want to die young. Wouldn't this speed up his death in this game?
Not daring to accept the fact that he thought that he would die in zone 2, the young man chose to close his eyes.
He was completely resigned to what happened.
"Stop being a coward!" Elina screamed suddenly while throwing a small object underground that she thought would become her base.
Alexi, who felt called out, pretended not to hear it, and slowly opened his two eyes, just a few seconds before they landed on a large foam that he didn't know why it was there.
"Don't worry, you won't die," Elina teased the young man next to her, where she was still holding the young man's hand.
Embarrassed!
Alexi was embarrassed to hear Elina's ridicule. The girl beside him really had big guts, he had just given up before, but not with that girl.
Alexi cleared his throat slowly and soon sat himself up from the position he was lying on the foam.
The cackling of Elina's mouth sounded louder in Alexi's ears.
"Shut up, don't make it even more awkward for me to face you," whispered Alexi, who this time was honest in front of Elina.
Seeing that Alexi, who was nearby, looked honest, Elina couldn't help but choose to stop her laughter, although to be honest, she wished she hadn't stopped laughing.
"Okay, I will obey you," said Elina while reaching out her hand to help Alexi to stand up and continue her journey, or more precisely complete her last mission.
Alexi didn't reply anything, it's just that his hand received a helping hand from Elina.
When they were back on their feet to continue the mission by looking for the box from the clue mentioned earlier, Alexi asked Elina about her sudden decision to jump from the tree which was estimated to be more than 30 meters high.
Elina didn't answer right away but gave an example to Alexi which seemed to tell the young man that what she had just done was a shortcut for something that had previously chased them.
It felt like Alexi wanted to go back to ask in more detail what Elina had just said, it's just that the pride that suddenly filled his heart made him suspend his wish.
"Ah, did you see the orange sky while you were above?" asked Elina, who this time was serious about her question.
'Orange?'
For a moment Alexi seemed to be trying to think hard about Elina's question.
Is there anything he missed?
A question that is now in Alexi's mind.
"What's with the orange color? Is that a clue to being here?" He asked.
"I'm not sure, it's just that when I found the box in zone 2 before by accident, the sky around it was orange, it's just that before it was not far from the tree I last jumped, but I didn't see that," Elina said, this time explaining in more detail than before.
Alexi's steps stopped when the girl said that.
"How do you know it's the same tree?" asked Alexi confused, because basically according to Alexi's point of view, the tree he previously climbed did not have a specific difference from one another, so where did Elina come to that conclusion?
Without thinking long Elina immediately explained to Alexi that she could say that when she could guess the type of tree from the smell and also the shape of the tree.
"Didn't you notice that the tree before us was of a different kind?"
Alexi, who previously didn't pay attention to that, now started to check and also feel the smell produced by the trees around them.
"Eucalyptus?"
"Bingo, if the previous tree looked different, then the tree in front of us will look the same, and that reason makes the smell much more pungent, and compared to us having to jump above, it would be better if we were down here, after all The plants that attacked us earlier won't follow because they are in a different area."
Alexi blinked several times. Elina's explanation sounded clear and made sense, whereas he, who had been trying to adapt to the maximum, still didn't understand the whole game in each zone.
'Come on Alexi you have to be much better than this girl!'
