Chapter 40

The Snakes Of The Alvar Pinera (アルヴァピネラの) is the fortieth chapter of The Promised Neverland manga.

Synopsis
The demons gradually working to track down Emma and Co. Emma and the gang as she realizes the adventure novel is really a survival guide for the outside world, written in a kind of code.

Plot
Demons figure out that Emma, Ray, and the 13 other children are around the area of the blood-sucking trees. It is mentioned that they need to capture them as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the children learn the truth about the name of the Bloodsucker Trees surrounding them with the use of Minerva's adventure book. It is believed that these species attack whatever touches them.

In order to get through the fiasco, Ray and Emma assure the others that this "snake" won't be able to locate them as long as they keep from touching them. The plan involves climbing up the central tree to escape. Since the snake's weakness is cold, they need to pierce the ceiling so that cold air can enter the cave. The chapter ends with the group having managed to make it out. However, Emma senses something behind her.
