Unlike the salty taste of seawater, the lake water here was refreshing and delightful to drink. It washed away the discomfort caused by the imrsion in seawater. Alex could deduce that there must be sothing special in this river water.
While swimming, Alex accidentally took in a few sips and discovered that the water contained so unique substances, quickly restoring Alex's stamina. The entire body felt invigorated.
Alex recalled the legends marked on the map, claiming that in the middle of rmaid Island, there was a sweet spring. Drinking its water would improve one's physique and even cure many diseases. Now that the rmaids' legend had co true, it seed that the legend of the sweet spring was likely true as well.
It appeared that after the apocalypse, many mythical tales were becoming a reality one by
one.
As the rmaids swam towards the center of the island, Alex gradually saw a hidden lake within the dense forest. Under the moonlight, this beautiful freshwater lake emitted a sparkling and enchanting glow, with rippling waves, resembling a fairyland.
Above the lake was a beautiful waterfall, with a soft and clear water curtain. Combined with the colorful and exotic flowers blooming beside the waterfall, Alex felt a surreal and dreamlike sensation.
The rmaid maidens swam into the water curtain, and Alex followed closely, entering it as well.
Passing through the water curtain, there was a stone wall ahead, and the rmaid maidens suddenly disappeared.
Alex hurriedly descended, swiftly swimming underwater. Sure enough, all the rmaid maidens were swimming in the depths.
Underwater, there was a hidden world!
Following the rmaid maidens through a narrow passage, they quickly ascended. Finally, they erged in a cave emitting a red light.
As Alex surfaced, the scene before stunned him. Within this island, there was such a hidden paradise!
The space above this cave was filled with red gemstones, casting the entire cave in a twilight- like glow. The location Alex entered was just the cave's entrance. Beside the entrance, there was a piece of land.
On this land, various living utensils were arranged. There were lounge chairs, stone tables, and even a partially damaged wooden fishing boat. The boat seed to be quite old, with the wood already starting to decay and covered in moss.
Most surprising to Alex was the countless treasures next to the boat! Gold, silver, coins, and various jewelry, gems, and weapons.
If this place had been discovered before the apocalypse, any of these treasures could have made soone incredibly wealthy! However, in the current post-apocalyptic world, these things were essentially useless to Alex.
Seven rmaid maidens gracefully swam up from the water pool at the entrance. Thereafter, flapping their fish tails, they swam into another water pool within the cave.
This was a spring water pool occupying only around fifty to sixty square ters. The spring water, with glittering golden spots, gushed up from the underground, continuously rging into the water pool, casting a layer of golden light over the entire pool.
Alex bent down and gently slled the golden water in the pool, then dipped a hand to feel it. Indeed, the peculiar substance sensed in the river earlier emanated from this water pool.
As Alex observed the surroundings, the seven rmaid maidens had already swum into the water pool. They swam towards a cave on the inner side of the water pool.
Once the rmaid maidens entered the cave, Alex cautiously stepped into the water, following them into the cave emitting a white glow.
Inside the cave, not entirely filled with the golden water, Alex felt a powerful oppressive force upon entering. Looking up, there was a waterway in the cave, more than two ters wide, with nurous caves branching out on either side. The seven rmaid beauties swam deeper into the waterway.
Alex first looked into one of the adjacent caves. Surprisingly, it resembled a cozy chamber, adorned with a bed made of coral and shells and arranged in a warm and inviting manner, akin to a young girl's boudoir.
Exiting the cave, Alex once again followed the waterway, chasing after them.
Soon, a palace-like underground castle appeared before Alex's eyes! It was an ancient and sowhat rudintary castle, with a simple and worn-out interior. Fortunately, the castle was adorned with countless luminescent gemstones and columns made of gold. Passing through the columns, at the innermost part of the underground castle, there was a golden throne. Seated on the throne was a rmaid queen holding a golden trident, emitting a golden glow.
The rmaid queen seed to be of a mature age, around her forties. There were so wrinkles on her face, but she retained her charm, exuding the allure of a mature woman. Especially noteworthy were her voluptuous and extrely enticing bosom and slender, captivating snow-white rmaid tail, practically captivating Alex's attention.
It was evident that this rmaid queen had been stunning in her youth. The mysterious force
that Alex had felt, the one causing oppression, emanated from this rmaid queen.

"So powerful!!" Alex felt a wave of shock in his heart!
No wonder even with his current physical attributes, Alex felt oppressed. It turned out the rmaid Queen was so powerful!
rmaids could be considered a type of mutated being, perhaps a variation of marine life. However, they definitely did not belong to the zombie category. Judging from the situation here, it seed that this race existed before the apocalypse. However, after the apocalypse, the rmaid population underwent changes, likely influenced by so energy during the end
tis.
If the rmaid race was this powerful, it would be troubleso for Alex to try to subdue them through force. Coercion wasn't an option; cunningness was the key.
Alex's mind began to calculate, but he couldn't co up with a clear plan imdiately. Faced with absolute power, it was challenging to conquer this race through cunning sches.
Of course, if Alex was willing to wait, he could return here after becoming stronger and defeat the rmaid Queen to subjugate the rmaid race.
"Mother, are you summoning us?" The seven rmaid maidens walked to the throne and respectfully bowed to the rmaid Queen.
Around the palace, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals slowly erged. These were genuine shrimp soldiers and crab generals, all bizarre creatures in the form of marine life. There were octopuses taller than humans, crabs two ters high, and lobsters the size of a person. There were even fish-like creatures with human limbs.
These sea creatures held various weapons, looking sowhat clumsy. However, judging from the energy emanating from them, they still possessed so combat capability. According to Alex's estimation, their strength was probably similar to that of ordinary mutated beings. Alex roughly counted, and there were probably dozens of these peculiar shrimp soldiers and
crab generals.
"Children, be careful recently. The humans on Welcoming Light Island seem to have discovered us, but for now, they can't get in. I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, as if sothing bad is about to happen," rmaid Queen Naga said with a furrowed brow, expressing her disquiet.
Just now, she had again sensed a feeling of unease, feeling that there was a different aura on the island. Moreover, this feeling was becoming more intense.
Hearing rmaid Queen Naga's words, Alex was startled. If the seawater weren't a bit chilly,
he would have broken out in a cold sweat. Originally, he had wanted to stealthily climb out of
the water and explore the castle.
Now, Alex had to stay in the water, not daring to move carelessly. Even though he was currently in an invisible state, once he left the water, the movent might be detected,
especially with the drops of water, a significant loophole.
[Beep beep beep... Invisibility ti is about to reach the limit...]
The system's electronic synthesized sound echoed in Alex's mind. He slightly paused, silently cursing. He almost forgot that the invisibility spell only lasted for an hour. Beyond that, he needed to rest for so ti before activating the skill again.
Alex originally wanted to continue observing the situation of the rmaids, but it seed impossible now. Even in his invisible state, the rmaid Queen could sense sothing abnormal. Without the cover of invisibility, he might be exposed.
With Alex's current strength, he was definitely not a match for the rmaid Queen. Just as Alex was preparing to leave, the rmaid Queen commanded the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around her, "Strengthen patrols during this period. I always feel a foreign aura on
our island."
