The two looked at the stone wall opposite, not knowing how to get across the lake to the other side, and Ania lowered the magic wand and measured it - it was very deep, at least the kind that the magic wand couldn't reach.

It's a bit embarrassing, two landlubbers can't swim, why don't you go back and find Andrei? That guy must be a swimmer, right?

"Why don't we go back and bring everyone with us when it's daytime?" Eunice suggested to Aniah, "We've already made sure we have the ore we're looking for anyway, just go back and rest for the night and come back during the day." ”

Ania thought the same thing, so she planned to go back with Eunice. But just as she was about to go back, she suddenly remembered that she didn't have a guy who could swim on her.

Catching Elizabeth from hiding in her tattered magic robe, Ania said to Elizabeth, "Don't you usually like to swim in my washwater?" In that case...... Today is a chance for you to swim to the other side and get the ore on it. ”

Elizabeth "squeaked" in protest, how could her small body be able to hold the ore as huge as it was?

Ania then took out the half-bottle of tempeh oil chili pepper and said, "Fortunately, I brought this with me before, just when I thought it would be useful to you." ”

Ania shoved Elizabeth with a black bean sauce and said, "Quick, take the form of a human, and swim over." ”

Elizabeth certainly wouldn't do it, he didn't want to swim in such a cold ghost place, and he still had no fur to protect him after becoming a human.

Elizabeth, who farted with a "poof", quietly stared at Ania again, and Ania threatened, "If you don't go over and bring the ore over, be careful, I'll just throw you into the water......

Elizabeth was still resisting wordlessly, and Eunice looked at the tempeh in Aniah's hand and said, "Why don't we just turn into birds or something and fly over and grab the ore?" ”

Ania was also stunned for a moment, how could she forget this?

But instead of Ania flying over on their own, let's let Elizabeth go, right?

"You, become Alexander...... No, that guy is too small. Become a larger bird, say...... Vultures, or goshawks will do. ”

Vultures? As long as you don't swim past, that's fine. Elizabeth turned herself into a giant vulture with the help of the tempeh, and flew across the lake - the distance between the two was only about ten meters, and she could fly over it with just a few wings.

Seeing Elizabeth fly above the lake and was about to grab the Jintuoqi ore on the opposite side, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the surface of the lake that was only dripping and rippling, and attacked Elizabeth.

Elizabeth reacted quickly and quickly dodged, and the shadow did not succeed in sneaking back into the lake in an instant. Frightened by this blow, Elizabeth hurriedly flew back, turned back into a white mouse directly in the air, and fell into Aniah's arms.

Aniya pulled Eunice back a few steps, "See?" The thing that just came out of the lake ......"

Eunice also nodded and said, "What I just saw seems to be ...... Fish? It looks like a fish, is it a monster? ”

"I don't know, but at least it's not going to be an easy opponent." Ania hurriedly pulled Eunice back: "I can't stay here for a long time, at least the two of us won't be able to get the gold tuoqi ore...... Go back and rest for the night, and let's come here after dawn. ”

Not long after, the golden lion, who was waiting in place, saw the two of them walking back, and asked them, "How is it?" Did you find the ore you were looking for? ”

Ania raised her head and looked at the golden lion, and after looking at the golden lion's blank eyes, Ania shook her head and said, "No...... By the way, do you know if there are any other creatures in this mountain besides you? Powerful monsters and the like......"

The golden lion replied, "quite a lot - I just don't let humans go up the mountain, but I don't let other monsters go up the mountain." Because of my presence, this Takamagahara, which is often used as a safe haven by monsters that hide from humans, is so there are a lot of monsters on the mountain...... But it's Akatsuki today, so they're all going down the mountain - I've told them not to be on the mountain while they're in Akatsuki. ”

"So has any monster ever entered this mine?" Ania asked the golden lion again, "For example...... Fish monsters? ”

"Fish monsters?" The golden lion shook his head and said, "How can the fish monster be on this mountain?" Even if it is a monster, as long as it leaves the water for too long, it will die, how can there be fish monsters coming to this mountain? There are only two small streams on this mountain, and the creatures in them are just ordinary fish, shrimp and crabs, and there are no fish monsters. ”

In other words, the monster is not from outside, but originally existed inside?

One of the people who came to find the ore of Jintuoqi before was Nimos, and the other was the Sage. With the strength of the two of them, it is naturally impossible to be troubled by this small fish, and naturally they did not tell the golden lion about the fish in it.

But Nimmus didn't tell Ania either, which almost caused Elizabeth to die in the monster's mouth. If Elizabeth hadn't been thrown around by Ania for many years, she would have been dead when she dragged Elizabeth into the water just now.

"What? Didn't you get the ore? The golden lion asked the two, "Have they all been taken away?" ”

"It's not...... There's a monster in there, and we can't beat it. Ania told the Golden Lion what was going on.

The golden lion wondered, "It shouldn't be...... If there's a monster in there, I should be able to feel its magic fluctuating, unless that monster hides its magic like your human magicians. ”

"All in all, we need to go back and get a good rest now, and then find a way to come back and find ore." Ania walked briskly towards the outside of the mine: "Everything in this mine is so weird that I even doubt the fish in there...... Maybe it has something to do with the demons. ”

When the golden lion heard this, he shook his head and denied: "No, it's impossible - I have lived on this mountain since more than a thousand years ago, if it is a monster related to the demon race, how can it survive in this mine for thousands of years?" ”

Speaking of this, Ania trembled in her heart - a monster that can survive for thousands of years, isn't that ...... Phantom Beast?!
