The person pointed toward the southeast. "Based on the direction, I think he is going for the king of the forest. There's a lake there. I remember a giant snake is living inside of it."
"I see; you should go on your way then. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."
The man felt relieved hearing Lily's words. He had already put considerable distance when he followed the king, but the man gave him creeps. The forest being empty also doesn't help with the situation.
He then put his hand over his chest, doing the usual greeting, then quickly left the area.
Seeing the man disappear, Lily's face turned serious. "What did father want with the king of the forest?" she mumbled.
She sent a message to the other guardians, telling them to gather at the lake. Lily then moved quickly in the forest, jumping from tree to tree while her senses were on high alert.
BANG! BANG!
