The wall was horrible. Better to stay away for now.
Angor did not shut down the camera on his way back. The tablet had plenty of charges left, so he hoped he could record his journey.
He flew fast. He already knew there were only harmless mouth flowers along the way, so he moved at full speed.
“Aren’t you going back?” When he was about halfway to his starting point, he asked the mouth flower which followed him closely.
The flower shifted its petals and revealed an emotion mixed with joy and admiration.
“Majesty, I like…”
Angor still could not understand it, but he did not really mind. Frankly speaking, having someone, or, something, to talk to in this dark place, provided him a bit of comfort. Even if this “something” could only speak nonsense.
“Is this the underground maze?” Angor asked.
“This, underground.” A plain emotion.
That confirmed his idea that he was inside the sewer maze. He still felt terrible for appearing directly in here, but at least he knew where he was now.
“Do you know how to go to the center of the maze?”
“Center, is mouth.” The flower opened up its mouth wide and revealed a prideful emotion.
Not YOUR center!
Angor complained in his mind.
He changed his question and asked, “How to leave the underground?”
Angor believed he must use simple words instead of complicated adjuncts.
“Dig.” The emotion was simple this time. The flower even moved its roots to make it clearer.
“…” Angor was speechless. He forgot the flower could simply move inside the ground!
Angor kept asking questions, and only received a few satisfying answers. However, he still reckoned a lot of information.
For example, the mouth flower flying in front of him was the boss of all the flowers he saw along the way.
Also, the mouth flowers were here to protect that wall.
…
About half an hour later, the darkness was replaced by light. Angor found himself back at the place where the two head monsters were.
They were not here though.
Angor realized that the light came from some objects that looked like electrical fluorescent tubes above him. The place was bright as day.
With light in the environment, Angor turned off the flashlight.
“Are you going back?” Angor asked the mouth flower again. They already left the flower field.
The mouth flower gave him an ordinary answer this time, which was rare, “I want to follow the majesty…”
Angor felt somewhat happy about it. The flower did not look strong, but it should be stronger than him anyway. If he teamed up with it, he might survive longer.
The flower quickly spoke something else and interrupted his thought.
“But I need to protect the wall.”
Angor curled his lips. They barely knew each other, and the mouth flower already learned how to withhold information?
So the flower was saying that it must go back to the wall instead of following him. Angor did not say anything further. The mouth flower saved his life. There were many monsters in the underground maze. The flower might be more powerful than him, but they probably would not stand a chance against something like the head monsters.
Maybe his lifesaver would be better without him.
With that in mind, Angor waved goodbye to the flower and flew away on himself.
The mouth flower stayed to watch Angor leave. When Angor finally disappeared from its view, it slowly returned to its territory with a sad emotion. It released a green aura. Countless thick vines dug their ways out of the dirt and completely sealed off the tunnel in the proximity.
The thick vines easily shattered some of the stone walls blocking them. If Angor was here, he would never think that the flowers were weak. Even Sunders was not powerful enough to pierce the walls!
After the mouth flower left, a head monster, which “could completely defeat the mouth flower” according to Angor, slipped out of a small cave and let out a sigh. It looked at the sealed tunnel and showed great fear on its face.
