Return to Darnlake 3
#3 of Return to Darnlake
Return to Darnlake: Road to Ganeton
Morning seemed to come quick. Bao and I didn't talk much right away, he just tossed me another one of the red fruits and started using some of our water to clean himself a bit. He was right about the fruit, it's effects seemed to get easier, I felt myself get aroused in a short time, but the urges felt much more manageable, would just be a little snug in the pants for our trip.
After a while we repacked up all of our equipment and started to head downstairs to enter the jungle again. Before I could go too far the tiger grasped my shoulder keeping me from walking forward. He was surprisingly strong. "Look, I'm not the brightest, but you've gotta give me some answers here, doc."
I was caught off guard, not sure what he was referring too specifically. "What answers are you referring to?"
"You and the plants, it's as if they know you. So what's going on?" There was quite a bit of concern and caution in his voice.
I sighed, he was starting to figure it out, I had to tell him something. "Alright, Mr. Pensai, I've been here before. This isn't exactly my first visit."
The tiger shook his head, clearly a little taste of the truth wasn't going to earn his trust. "It's more than you just living in the old town, I get the feeling you've been around these plants longer than I have and I don't know one soul who's done that in a year and a half."
I felt a panic rush through my veins. If I gave him nothing he'd leave me in this jungle, alone. Then again, if I told him too much he might leave me for sure just as well. "Before the town was taken over, I sort of knew about the plants here, spent some time with them." He was nodding along as I spoke, though some details were missing there wasn't anything untrue about my wording so far. "It wasn't just me, but a buddy of mine as well. I'm trying to find him, that's why we have to go to the heart of the jungle. I know he's still alive in here, he has to be."
Bao nodded. "Alright, alright, things make more sense now but you should have told me this sooner. We've been going in the wrong direction."
I shook my head. "What are you talking about? I know the town, the growth definitely originated in the direction we've been going."
The tiger continued, walking slowly with me inside the gym as we spoke. "Yeah, but the jungle... well it's a weird place and it only keeps getting weirder. I know your buddy is safe because this place doesn't kill, it only captures."
I couldn't help but feel a spark of hope light up inside of me. Fescue was here, it wasn't just wishful thinking all of this time. "How do you know he's safe? You've seen him? An otter, early 20's?"
"There's some farmland just outside of Darnlake, in the neighboring town of Ganeton. I've seen the pods growing in rows, there has to be a shit-ton of males being milked in there, but I don't know how we'd find one otter. Has to be hundreds of 'em, doc."
I sat on one of the weight benches, clasping my head in my paws. "Hundreds... but we still have to try."
The tiger leaned against the gym's wall, folding his arms as he thought to himself. "Plus it's unsafe. The whole place is covered in vines that will grab at you and it's where the plants with the sticky sap grows." He scratched his head a little. "...'course if the razorgrass didn't get you then maybe the vines won't either..." Bao gave me a stern look. "Are you sure you want to risk it?"
"I have to." There was no going back now, if Fescue was definitely here then I couldn't abandon him now.
We left the gym at a much quicker pace than we had been traveling. Bao kept himself a few feet behind me, assuring me that the vines guarding the pods were much more dangerous than anything we'd find in Darnlake. I was all for cutting our time in half, if Bao didn't have to be careful over every hill and corner, then it meant I could get to Fescue faster.
We covered twice the ground we did the day before and it wasn't even noon yet. Various hazardous plants all yielded toward me. There was a forest of trees who's thorns sunk inside the bark as I approached, patches of sticky grass that seemed to slip away and part so I can cross, and even a field of pollen Bao swore to me was borderline toxic. Though we both covered our muzzles to be safe, the bright yellow pollen around me seemed to float away as if a heavy breeze was blowing it to the side.
"You're more useful than I thought, doc. Should have taken us another day to get this far." The tiger seemed quite pleased with me now. In a few hours he had went from cautious to reveling in my unique talent with the plants.
"If we keep this pace, do you know when we will reach the pods?"
"Definitely tomorrow." The tiger gave me a pat on the shoulder. "Head left behind this building. We have to pick some more fruit here. This is one of the places where the reds grow."
I nodded back at him. "We just go in and pick the fruit? It's that simple?"
"Well, simpler than most things." Bao chuckled to himself. "It only has one vine guarding the fruit. Hides underground so you can't see it. Kind of this dull yellow color but it doesn't matter, once it jumps up from the ground it'll latch on to your face. No moving until it's had it's way with you."
"...and you think this one will leave me alone too?" I wasn't too sure how much I'd like a vine covering my face.
"Dunno, but we shouldn't have to find out. I can climb the trees and throw the fruit down to you. Done it by m'self enough times, doesn't have to be any different now. You can just start collec..."---
Immediately at the sight before us, Bao stopped dead in his tracks, as did I. It seemed the dull yellow vine had already found it's victim. In front of us was a large elephant, his face grasped and pulled toward the ground by the large vine. What Bao didn't mention was there were other thinner vines growing from the large dull root. They had the pachyderm's limbs pulled into the earth below. One was wrapped around his heavy balls, another moving slowly in and out of his puckered tailhole, no doubt trying to massage and stimulate his prostate.
"Well would you look at that... a straggler made the job that much easier for us." Bao smirked at the elephant's misfortune. "Sucks to be him."
"Wait, isn't there something we can do to help him? what if he's suffocating?" I couldn't believe Bao was being so casual about what was happening right in front of us.
"Naw man he's fine. It's pumping oxygen into his lungs. I had to learn the hard way." The tiger hopped over the elephant and started picking down the red fruit from the trees above. "Don't get to thinking about any heroics, doc. Getting your otter friend outta here is one thing, taking this big lug too is just more than I can handle. Not enough water rations to go around."
I couldn't help but understand. Still, it was a disheartening sight, watching the elephant groan with a mix of pleasure and struggle. "We could still do something to help him though, even if we can't take him with us, right?"
Taking a bit out of one of the spikey red fruits, Bao grinned as he looked back at me. "Alright, alright you old sheepdog. I'll do somethin' to help him out." The tiger walked himself behind the pachyderm, grabbing the root that was wriggling around in his tailhole and slowly pulled it out. To my surprise it was in much deeper than I had imagined and covered in a sort of thick slime. It lashed about in the air when Bao finally pulled the entire thing out, tossing it aside as he undid his zipper.
"...Mr. Pensai, can't certainly be planning to do what I think you are." But by the time the words were already starting to leave my muzzle, the tiger had stroked himself to half mast and was already shoving his barbed cock into the open tailhole of the elephant, using the root's slippery ooze for an easy lubricant.
The tiger purred as he sunk himself into the larger male, looking at me with an evil grin as he did so. "C'mon doc, have a sense of humor. Besides, this has to feel a lot better than some long dull vine up the tailhole. I bet he loves it." In Bao's defense, the elephant was positioned perfectly for the act. The larger vine kept his face and neck pulled down, along with his arms, restrained partly by the dirt below. His legs, pulled apart by the other roots to allow access to his tailhole, which Bao was rigorously screwing.
I could hardly believe what was actually happening in front of me. I knew the fruit had it's side effects, but I thought Bao had built up more of a tolerance to it than to be this overtly lustful. "This is crazy! We should be pulling his head out of this vine-root thing, not fucking him!"
"WE aren't fucking him, I am. I'll be more than *huff* *huff* happy to share once I'm done with him." Bao's expression went from a grin to a frown once he saw me grasp at the thick neck of the vine, attempting to pull it from the elephant. "Wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Or else what?"
"Or else you could..." Bao's voice trailed off from a young adult tiger's baritone into a mewing kitten's soprano as the ooze covered root that was once connect up the elephant's rump shot up the tiger's own tailhole. He groaned for a moment before starting to purr again as he fucked the pachyderm harder with the root flicking his tender insides. "....mmmm ....just don't mess with it..."
Ignoring the tiger's advice, I pulled the vine from the elephant with greater ease than I had anticipated. Realizing that it was in part to the elephant actually pushing back quite forcefully into Bao's rutting thrusts. With a lewd hack and cough the vine was pulled from the large beast, a hollow air pumping tendril popping out of his throat once he was free. It was as if he had to learn how to breathe on his own again for a moment. That or he was still caught off guard by the horny tiger humping away on his backside.
Before I had a chance to figure out what was going on, the dull yellowed vine lunged at my head, trying to grasp hold and snare me the same way it did the elephant. I was able to fight and keep it away for a few moments, but before I could howl out, it's smaller roots had already traded their grasp on the elephant's limbs and onto my own. The vine finally snagging my head in it's grasp and pulling me down.
I could feel the hollow tendril poking at my muzzle, trying to get inside. A part of me knew resisting was pointless and I could only keep my breath held for so long before I was forced to leave my maw unguarded and allow the tendril inside so that I could breathe once again. I couldn't get a grasp on the vine with the roots holding me down, embarrassed in my defeat, I could only wait to hold out until the vine let go. Why wasn't some sort of tube on my cock? Or the elephant's cock for that matter. If it wasn't trying to feed, when would it release me? A few minutes went by before I felt my legs wrapped up and spread apart, no doubt the in the same manner as I had seen the pachyderm's done.
I could see nothing, all sound was muffled and faint. I thought could vaguely make out the sound of Bao still fucking against the elephant before that too went silent. Not a moment later I felt the oozing root shoot up into my own tailhole, wiggling it's way deep inside and nudging hard against my prostate. The pleasure flowed into my body beyond description. Venus, these plants, this jungle, had gotten so practiced in pleasing a male, I forgot how good this could feel.
Suddenly I felt something thick slide under me, propping my hips up higher. I couldn't help but respond, for several reasons I was beyond horny and the hyper state of arousal set on by the fruit wasn't make things any easier. I felt another vine poke around my underside before it grasped at my side and I felt my knotted cock push into something wet and warm.
I groaned out loudly into the thick vine that held my head and muzzle. Finally I could give this thing what it wanted so that I could free myself. Then I realized that everything was backwards as I felt what I thought was a vine take in a deep huff of air and my cock gently grazed alongside a dull tooth. I felt my blood rush as I realized it was the elephant that slide under me and was now suckling on my canine shaft.
Perhaps he had ate some of the fruit as well, or Bao has coached him into it somehow. I had no way of knowing and the longer he sucked me the less I cared. I just wanted to cum and if it was to be inside this pachyderm's mouth then so be it. With the oozing root against my prostate and the eager elephant's tongue and muzzle milking me for cum, it wasn't long before I felt my orgasm build. I felt a familiar furry paw grab at my balls and another furry fist grasp at my knot. Once my body started to shake I howled loudly into the yellow vine that restrained my voice, I came what felt like buckets into the eager maw of this strange elephant.
I tried to collect my thoughts but in this moment it was impossible. Still tangled up in vines with this thing over my head, it was a little too much at once to completely digest and remained focused. The vine still wasn't letting go, not from any part of me. Bao's paw was still grasping and stroking at the furred pouch that held my balls. Even the elephant's lips were still wrapped around the root of my shaft, suckling down every last drop. I wouldn't be going anywhere until they all let go.
