Chapter 497: Chapter 261: The Creature Beneath the Lake (Part 3)
"Whoa!" Zoe approached without any intentions of stopping, splashing water all over Dorothy’s face.
"What are you doing!"
Dorothy, infuriated, wildly splashed back at Zoe with her flower vine, and the two were about to start a water fight.
Nearby, Andasu burst through the water’s surface. Seeing Li Ang coming, she tried to maintain elegance, but with her ears and tail drenched and sticking to her, she appeared a bit clumsy.
Her disappointnt went unnoticed by the others, especially Zoe, or else they’d start fighting again.
Li Ang helped tidy the hair on her forehead, and the White Wolf imdiately bead a shy smile.
"Did you find anything?" His question interrupted the splashing antics of the two.
Andasu shook her head: "There’s sothing deep down, but I can’t reach it; it’s quite narrow, and diving in might an not being able to co out."
"That’s a wise choice," Li Ang said.
The top of this Island Heart Giant Tree is a platform ford by upward-growing branches pressing together, covered over countless years by the dust from the Nebis sky, which nurtured plants and accumulated water, creating this current habitat.
This is a living tiny lake, with many small fish swimming about, lush underwater plants, and of course, narrow crevices hiding in the shadows.
Typically, Andasu’s approach is bold, but Li Ang worries she sotis overdoes it.
On second thought, she’s only reckless about certain things; it takes courage and ticulousness to handle high-stakes airship racing.
Without further words, Li Ang cast a spell to cloak everyone with breathing helts.
"Co on, let’s dive in together."
"Huh?"
While the others experienced the bubble-like space helt, Dorothy was the first to show reluctance to swim.
"Then stay on the surface and use your flower vine to pull us up in case of issues," Li Ang suggested.
Although no problems were expected, he was giving her an out.
"Alright, then."
"How far can your vines extend?" Li Ang asked.
Previously, he had privately inquired about the Demon-Born Flower and observed its situation through the Spiritual Horizon, knowing the vine wasn’t a massive parasite inside her but rather originates from a bulbous part at her waist. The magic they extract from the Magic Power Dinsion fuels the quick growth of the vines; such a creature defies logic.
Thus, theoretically, with sufficient magic power, she could extend her vines quite far.
"Since acquiring the Flowers of Prosperity, I haven’t tested it yet," Dorothy pondered, "but it should extend several dozen ters."
"That’s more than enough. Let’s head down first."
"Yay!"
Dorothy lay across the airship that Li Ang steered over, deliberately flaunting her graceful figure, lifting her chin at him.
Li Ang accepted the pouch he had handed her, rolled his eyes, and fastened it to his waist, turning to prepare for the dive with the other three.
"Brother, I’m not good at diving," ALulu hesitated, recognizing her body creates significant resistance in the water.
"Co here."
Li Ang extended his hand to hold her little chubby hand, and ALulu imdiately smiled and followed along.
"Wait, I want to too." Zoe grabbed for the other hand.
But concerned about the Demon Arm’s thorns, her hands paused, and Andasu quickly clasped Li Ang’s elegant, slender hand.
"You!"
Seeing things escalating, Li Ang hurriedly grabbed her as well.
"Let’s go, let’s go."
With the Demon Arm’s power, holding the two wasn’t an issue.
This way, he needed to control the water flow to assist their dive, otherwise, it was difficult to gain montum. Using the Curse Art to solve such problems ant thinking carefully about the Curse Runes, now sincerely grateful for the Material Magic Scripture.
Being held, the three were delighted, especially with the air bubbles. As the sunlight from above vanished, the scenery shifted to the vibrant underwater world, holding tightly to Li Ang’s hands, they burst into laughter.
Their laughter echoed inside the bubble and distorted underwater, yet the joy reached Li Ang’s heart.
It’s truly nice.
Smiling, he controlled the water flow as they all descended toward the deep water crevice Andasu ntioned.
Here, about ten ters deep, the surrounding water beca dim, and ALulu cast a ball of Holy Light to illuminate the crevice, revealing several Rune Stones among the aquatic plants.
Indeed, deep enough lay the larger Rune Stones.
Everyone collected these stones, placing them in their pouches.
Among the stones, sothing else appeared. Li Ang gestured, and they pulled on the water plants to reveal what the vegetation masked.
From its appearances, it had edges and corners, resembling a piece of a constructed edifice.
Could it be remnants of so ancient ruins?
