REPTILEROUND Town looked so historical.
"They still kept the primitive buildings," Copperus explained when they were walking around, going to the library which was still far. "Wooden house, even there are tree house! Oh, nice place to rest. But don't worry. They use modern technology."
"And what the heck is that?" Judy asked, appointing to something like a volcano, but it was too small.
"Oh, it's a mini volcano."
Nick walked toward a mini volcano. He looked at the spot. "What for is this?"
"He-hey! Watch out!"
Suddenly, something appeared from the spot!—making Nick pushed backward and fell by his reflex. Nick took a deep breathe. After ten second, the thing was gone.
"What the—" Nick said.
"That's lava," Copperus explained. "But don't worry—it don't hurt."
"Is that useful for something?" Judy asked, helping Nick to stand up.
"Wait just a second here." Copperus ran, going to somewhere.
Nick still took a deep breath, feeling to be shocked. "Whoa! Do you believe it—that thing was almost going to kill me!" Nick shouted.
"Calm down," Judy said.
"Is this place inhabited by a stranger?"
Judy and Nick saw a crocodile was walking toward the center spot of the mini volcano when he held three meatballs that were punchtured with a skewer. When the lava was appearing, he approached the skewer to the lava. And yet, the crocodile ate the meatball, walking away.
Copperus came with the same thing that the crocodile who they had seen. Plus, a pack of blueberries.
"I'm sorry for long," Copperus said. "I'll show you what the lava is used for."
Nick and Judy stared each other, smiling. Nick took the skewer and approach toward the center spot of mini volcano. Then, the lava appeared, roasting the meatballs.
"Well, the roasted meatball is ready to eat," Nick said, giggling, giving the food to Copperus.
Copperus's mouth opened. He seemed to not to believe himself after having seen that. "How could . . . ?"
"Just think of it, Dragon."
"Oh, well. Want some blueberries?"[]
