However, to his surprise, when the Alien Race Forest of Trees saw this, it increased its speed again, but not by much! He did not know whether the alien race had already forgotten what happened some time ago, or whether they belonged to different groups.
Even within the Human Race, there were different factions. The alien race... might not be any different! After the Forest Sea chased them for another ten million kilometers or so, it slowed down again, clearly unwilling to continue.
