"Huh? Already." Lin Wu muttered.
He had been swimming non-stop for a long ti now and had been using the stored vital energy to replenish his stamina whenever he beca tired. Lin Wu then took a look at the map and estimated the distance.
'I'm so close, I should be there soon.' Lin Wu thought.
"Host Data." He ordered.

"Oh damn! I gotta make sure the last two units count." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
~Pwesh~
He kept on propelling himself and traveled to the bottom. A few more hours passed by and he was tired again.
"Now I'm really at the edge. Just a little more distance." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he looked at the quest objective.
Even now Lin Wu couldn't clearly see the quest objective due to its green glow. When it didn't glow, it was hidden due to the darkness, and when it did glow it was a blinding glow that obscured its form.
'I guess I'll just use them. I'll fail the quest anyway if I don't and die.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"System, use the remaining amount of vital energy to replenish my stamina." Lin Wu ordered.

"Now it's all or nothing." Lin Wu muttered to himself with determination.
~Pwesh~
Lin Wu kept on propelling and was getting closer to the quest objective. Now he was starting to feel a difference as he got closer. The water was getting warr. If the water was close to ice-cold before, now it was close to room temperature.
The more Lin Wu got closer, the warr it got. It eventually reached a point where it was as if he was standing under a sumr sun.
"Chickie nuggies! How hot is it going to get?" Lin Wu questioned.
Lin Wu rechecked the map and saw that he was only a few ters away from the quest objective. Building up his will and courage, he pushed ahead, but at this ti even his stamina was close to depleted. He pushed ahead a few more tis and could no longer propel himself.
Nearly all of Lin Wu's stamina was now depleted.
"Dammit! It's only a ter away." Lin Wu cursed.
He wondered if there was any other thod he could use, but realized that all he could do was just wiggle.
"I'll reach it even if it's the last thing I do." Lin Wu said in an undying passion.
It was as if there were imaginary flas burning in his eyes. With this passion, he wiggled.
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
Lin Mu's wiggling was not as controlled, so there were tis when he would move in the wrong direction. But still, he didn't lose hope and kept on reorienting himself.
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
~Wiggle~
"Just… Just… right… there…" Lin Wu let out between breaths.
His energy was completely depleted and he could no longer move.

"I… I… can't…" Lin Wu soundlessly muttered as his eyes closed and he lost consciousness.

Silence filled the area as Lin Wu then laid there floating in the water for an unknown amount of ti. His life or death unknown.
Suddenly there was a strange tremor that occurred deep beneath the ground. The tremor spread all around and was even spread in the water. These tremors created waves that moved the water around. Due to these waves and a stroke of luck, Lin Wu's still body swayed.
Another wave hit and he was sent shooting towards the source of the eerie green light. If Lin Wu was awake now and was looking, he would see that the quest objective was a large crystal. It was about two ters tall and half a ter wide.
It had an irregular shape and there seed to be sothing trapped within it. It was this thing that was glowing with the eerie green light.
Lin Wu's body kept on getting closer to the crystal and eventually touched it. An invisible wave emanated at that mont and spread around in the underground cave.

If soone was to see the phenonon that was happening right now, they would be shocked. Lin Wu's body was slowly undergoing a strange change. It seed to be getting flatter and flatter. Finally, it reached the point where it had turned into a liquid form.
Lin Wu now looked more like a black blob and no longer looked like a worm. This black blob slowly spread over the crystal and ford a thin mbrane over it. It was spread so thin that it could no longer be seen and it seed as if the crystal was transparent.
