Chapter 39: Lulunaka, Resurrection

After Shortaxe and Chris leave with Marina and Eko, the water in the reservoir continues to rise until it floods the surrounding passages. The passage they had come to the reservoir had also been filled with water, and when the axe turned around, he saw that the passage they had entered was full of water. Thankfully, the passage descends diagonally, allowing them to exit safely without being swept away by the water that poured in from the reservoir.

They tread shallow water and continued to escape to the ladder at the entrance to the middle level, leaving without looking back.

The water level of the reservoir rises, the channel is flooded, and there is no longer a place to stand. After the water level rises to a certain position, it never continues to rise. The space turned into a half-filled jug of water, with various openings on the sides of the jar to drain the water, but the water level showed no signs of descending, and the surrounding gutters and underground river passages did not seem to be functioning in any way.

The surface of the water calmed down, and from time to time a strange fish with a dense mouthful of fangs jumped up and fell back into the water, causing ripples on the one side at a time. The surface of the water alternates between calm and slight movement, until something new emerges, and the relative calm of the surface is completely broken.

It's not a behemoth that comes out of the water, but it's large enough compared to a fish. Emerging from the water was Lulunaka, her petite body facing the water with her back to the water, looking like a drowning corpse. When she came up, she didn't move, and no creature in the water approached her.

She looked tired of pretending to be dead like this, and her body flipped over and spat out, "This water is so unpleasant, it's more disgusting than horse urine...... and the jet of water she spat out formed a small fountain, and the water splashed around. After she vomited the water out of her stomach, her slightly bulging belly also returned to flat.

She lay in the water, looking at the dark space above, and after a long moment, reached out her right hand in front of her. In her hands, there were two green gems, the gems were polygonal shapes, with a smooth surface, but the color was dull, and they looked very much like shoddy products. Inside the gem there seems to be something glowing swimming and faintly visible.

These two gems are the eyes of the serpent. The snake bone did not continue to wrap around Lulunaka, except for the two gems in Lulunaka's hand, which were used as eyes, and it had sunk to the deepest part of the reservoir.

"It's funny, before you even go down to the deepest depths, there are already the bones of the snake guard. Lulunaka squinted, admiring the emerald in her hand. The gem looked badly colored, but it wasn't like that, and the emerald eyes were sparkling, and the light seemed to be so beautiful that Marina almost fell.

But the eyes are of no value when they leave the body. The same is true for these two emeralds. "Wasted......" Lulunaka muttered. That being said, the emerald eyes are still of some value to her, and she can use them as materials, or just hold them like this, and miss the past.

Lulunaka had forgotten the last time she had left the underground, but it wasn't recent, she was afraid to go back to a long, long time ago, when there was still a kingdom underground.

Lulunaka thought to herself, just use it as waste, and such a beautiful gem, it would be a bit too much to say that it was rubbish, so I would be sorry for the snake guard who sank to the bottom of the reservoir.

Lulunaka came underground this time, not just to revisit the old place, she had two things to do, but these two things were not so urgent, so she found some fun for herself along the way, and then these fun brought her some good experiences.

If anything, it's a matter of course following young adventurers like Marina - to her, even the oldest is just a mature child. The Shortaxe made a good impression on her, and even at the last moment, he tried to save her, a poor girl caught by the snake guard, and when it was really impossible, he immediately abandoned Lulunaka and saved Marina and Ekou, two newcomers from the ground. It sounds ruthless, but he did save most of them, and his judgment was correct, it was absolutely impossible for them to deal with the snake guard, especially a snake guard who had been transformed into a necromancy, which was definitely not something that a few black iron warriors and a little mage could deal with. It was very fortunate for the Shortaxe that both Eko and Marina lost the ability to fight at once, otherwise with Marina's impulsiveness at that time, she would definitely die here, as for whether Eko would die here together because of love...... It's not something Lulunaka can think about.

In a sense, Shortaxe is a very honest man, because he has done everything he can and fulfilled his responsibilities, and it is only because he can't fight against such a monster as the Serpent Guard that he has to abandon Lulunaka, an unlucky child. Of course, the reason why he is so conscientious may also be because he only receives half of the payment, and if something happens to either Ekor or Marina, he will not be able to get the other half of the money. Lulunaka bet Shortaxe would say that to Eko and Marina. Mr. Slipperhead is an honest man, and he will only say such things. Chris's words, Lulunaka's impression of him, from beginning to end, is only one: he is a loyal companion of the Short Axe, so he doesn't even bother to say anything, what the Short Axe says is equal to what he says, and what the Short Axe intends to do, he just follows.

As for Eko, who is running for love, Lulunaka's evaluation is not very high, although she is a passionate guy, but she is not used to this kind of person, it is too difficult, God knows how Marina deals with her suitors.

Watching the words and deeds of these men is one of the pleasures, and as for the greatest pleasure, it is naturally in Marina.

The magic book that Marina has is not her own, and it is probably something that has been passed down to her by a mage. And this magic book, with something that Luluna is very interested in. For example, this spellbook has a permanent spell that points deeper underground, pointing to places that Lulunaka is familiar with. When it comes to rumors that there is a treasure in the deepest part of the earth, Lulunaka thinks she's met another person who still believes in such a story.
