Chapter 55: Rising tide
A tense look appeared on Shaan’s face as he saw Nalira holding a cross necklace, which somehow looked almost identical to Chelsie’s. Strange... How did Nalira find that necklace?
"Shaan... this necklace... It must be Chelsie’s necklace. I found it lying on the ground, and I think she dropped it when that creature dragged her unconscious body away." Nalira put the necklace in her pants pocket. "I believe we’ve made the right decision to follow that trail."
"Yes, your guess seems to be correct, Nalira. I’m sure if we keep following this trail, we’ll find Chelsie." Shaan kept walking along the trail. "Come on, we have to help Chelsie quickly."
They continued to walk along the trail until it finally ended in front of a towering mass of grass (probably about two meters high). The two of them believed the creature that captured Chelsie must have entered this mass of grass, so without hesitation, they stepped inside, hoping to find her.
’Chelsie... where is she?’
As he walked through the weeds, Shaan had no trouble seeing anything around him, considering his height was approximately 180 cm, so the grass was not a problem for him at all. Nalira, on the other hand, had a much more difficult time walking through the grass and seeing her surroundings because she was shorter than Shaan, even though she was wearing high heels to support her height.
"Shaan... do you see the creature that captured Chelsie?" Nalira pushed aside all the wild grass blocking her view.
"Unfortunately not, Nalira." Shaan shook his head. "I don’t see anything other than these wild grasses at all."
"Keep leading the way ahead. I’m sure if we keep walking through the mass of grass, we may just find something."
"Alright."
After walking for a while, Shaan suddenly heard the sound of waves crashing nearby. The noise grew louder as he continued forward, still pushing through the thick grass. He quickened his pace and soon, they both finally stepped out from it.
"Oh my God... w-what is this?"
