Due to the special contact with Moon Scar last night, and the physical burden brought by the surgery, Yi Chen slept right up until almost departure ti.
When he vaguely woke up, the scene before him imdiately made his sleepiness disappear.
The once crystal-clear Cold Lake had been completely blackened, and there was even a large amount of black hair erging from the surface of the lake, waving like water plants.
In addition,
La Field, unbeknownst when, had already boarded the boat and was now standing at the bow observing the changes in Cold Lake.
“Awake yet? You seed very tired last night. What happened?”
In response to Field’s query, Yi Chen calmly answered, “We’re about to head to Holy Grail Mountain, so I tried to sleep as much as possible, otherwise I might not have the chance to sleep for the next few days.”
Field did not suspect anything; he was more concerned with the matter at hand.
“Hmm… This tomb product of yours, is it really from the Seven-Day Cetery?”
“Yes, Little Grape and I left the Seven-Day Cetery together to partake in the Organization’s assessnt and have reached this point. As for what it actually is, I am not too sure myself, even the gentleman’s clothes at the current stage are unable to identify it.”
“Even gentleman’s clothes can’t recognize it? Interesting. Once I handle the remaining matters here, I’ll have to find so ti to et that young Wilbert.”
While the two were discussing Little Grape, the surface of the lake stirred.
Gurgle gurgle~
One by one, black bubble-like objects surfaced on the lake, which from certain angles, looked like shiny eyeballs.
Each burst bubble released a strand of dense black mist into the sky,
and as the quantity increased, a frightening demonic face even faintly ford in the air.
Such phenona attracted the town’s gentlen, who sat around the shore of Cold Lake, weapons drawn and alert for any terrifying creatures that might erge from beneath the lake.
At this mont, La Field’s voice spread from the center of the lake, echoing throughout the entire cetery:
“No need to be tense, this isn’t a dangerous situation. The bodies in Cold Lake have all been moved, and what’s happening now is just the final treatnt of the lake water.” ????????????s
Hearing Mr. Field say this, everyone sheathed their weapons, and most gentlen returned to their posts.
However,
The team mbers attracted by the phenona and so gentlen who were off today remained there, wanting to see exactly what was going on.
Gradually,
As the black mist in the sky slowly dispersed, the black hair floating on the surface of the lake also completely retracted.
The water level dropped about two ters, with the water becoming turbid and pitch-black, unfit for the burial of bodies.
Just then, an unnerving sense of being watched emanated from the bottom of the lake.
Even the gentlen standing on the shore could distinctly feel it, as if their bodies were being completely seen through by this peering sensation, involuntarily tightening their clothes and stepping back.
It seed as if a massive eye at the bottom of the lake was slowly opening.
Only Jin and Reagan made no movent, because they knew what lay at the bottom of the lake.
Jin’s mask was partly lifted, revealing pink, thin lips holding a strawberry-flavored lollipop, silently watching everything unfold.
“William’s eye has been enhanced; our journey up the mountain will be much easier now~ I really don’t want to waste too much ti on such a boring task as climbing a mountain.”
At that mont, the gigantic creature at the lake’s bottom began to ascend, causing the entire lake to churn violently.
Just as sothing terrifying was about to break through the surface… Pfft! A weak splash arose at the center of the lake.
A black, globular mass tumbled three and a half turns in the air before landing steadfastly on the edge of the boat, its entire body dripping with water.
The mouth holding eyeballs issued an excited, mixed voice:
“Phew! That was so comfortable. This lake really is a great thing, it has managed to wash away all the dirt accumulated over hundreds of years from my body~ I feel so much lighter now.”
Saying this, Little Grape even began to jump on the spot, performing several difficult aerial flips in succession.
Slap~
As the final action ended, his feet landed firmly on Yi Chen’s shoulders, and then he gracefully bowed to the limping Field.
“Thank you very much, I will keep the ‘Will of Cold Lake’ within my body; as long as I am alive, it ans the Cold Lake Cetery exists in another form.”
In the midst of his words,
grape’s oral cavity unexpectedly overflowed with streams of pure Cold Lake Water, allowing the eyeball in his mouth to float upon this special icy saliva, the washed eyeball gleaming brightly.
At this sight, Mr. Field genuinely laughed from his heart.
“It seems like an old bone like
should really retire and pass on the cetery… It’s already past the scheduled ti to board, it’s ti for you all to do what you need to do.”
“Let’s go! This grape is going to wreak havoc!”
The overconfident Grape imdiately perford a set of Chaotic Dog Boxing on Yi Chen’s shoulders.
Having been buried at the bottom of the lake for a whole day, half of which was spent sleeping, Grape had no imdiate plans on returning inside Yi Chen’s body.
The boat returned to shore, the squad gathered.
“Let’s move out!”
After bidding farewell to the limping Field, everyone naturally turned their attention to Grape, who started striking various poses under their gaze.
Yi Chen also asked curiously, “Grape, making such a big fuss, what benefits did you actually get? Or did you evolve to a more perfected stage?”
“With no good grapes to eat, progress my ass! Didn’t I just ntion it? The uniqueness of Cold Lake has cleaned my whole body, making my movents more agile. The gri on my body has accumulated for over a hundred years; it’s not sothing that a simple bath can wash off.
My current speed has increased by at least 20%.”
“What else?”
“And also… ah!” Grape opened his mouth wide, and a stream of extrely cold saliva flowed out, sending chills through Yi Chen.
“My saliva now possesses the properties of Cold Lake Cetery, capable at any ti of cleaning eyeballs and improving my water abilities~ My speed underwater has increased about 30% or so.”
“That’s it?”
Not just Yi Chen, but Jin and Reagan had the sa reaction.
“What do you an ‘that’s it’? This is a big improvent, okay? My agility has increased; if you get killed, I’ll be able to escape imdiately, and maybe even retrieve your body afterwards.
Plus, there’s free eyeball cleaning fluid, which is perfect if long periods of combat in a water-less area causes eye dryness and decreased vision—it’s a ga changer.”
“I did see the entire lake surface being covered by your hair and black mist spilling out, forming a devil-like phantom in the air… and that’s all the enhancent you got?”
“Cleaning my body, huh~ Of course, I had to wash every single hair.
The useless corpse gas released along with the dirt during the cleaning process is the black mist you saw, which is pretty much like human farting, except I’d been holding these farts in for decades, if not a hundred years.”
After Grape put it that way, even imagining the odor was almost overwhelming, Yi Chen decided not to probe further.
“However, the traits of [Cold Lake Cetery] absorbed by
might beco more useful as I grow, although for now, it seems they only help in washing eyeballs.
If you really want
to have strengths at a tangible level, then hurry up and find so eyeballs for this Grape.
Enough talk; the upcoming mission is a great opportunity, let’s head out now.”
Not long after getting on the carriage,
the overexcited Grape finally settled down, and, with no one paying attention to it anymore, it no longer wanted to stay outside.
As it squeezed back into Yi Chen’s body through the collar, its entire body of hair trembled violently!
An absolute sense of mortal threat,
struggling with all its strength to get out of the shoulder; just as it opened its mouth to say sothing, slap! Yi Chen covered it with one hand.
The next second, a trendous force pulled it inside the body, after which there was no more sound.
