Chapter 179: The Eighth Prophecy (II)

Jonah immediately came to his senses after falling into the water. He took a second to think about the situation, and then activated the many magic circles on his belt, Edinmont. The temperature control circle drove away the chill of the lake, but no matter how hard the astrologer swam, he couldn't rise, and the gray water of Yunmengze didn't seem to be able to generate any buoyancy, and Jonah fell down with his hands dancing. Like a desperate nightmare, the surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the feeling of suffocation pressed against his ribcage, Jonah used what little sanity he had to drive himself to grip his staff, ready to shoot a "zero" ray downward, and use recoil to eject himself from the water.

At this moment, the sky suddenly swirled, and his body suddenly lightened, and he was thrown out of the lake by the rootless fire. Jonah spun in the air, seeing through the multicolored miasma a terrifying scarlet mouth waiting below. He held back his dizziness and was about to attack, "Wait a minute......" The young man was suddenly stunned. So far, he didn't feel any threat, and the sensitive instincts he had honed in the battles told him that the plant was innocent and that it didn't see itself as its prey. “...... Why?" he pondered.

There was a shock from his back, and he fell into the lake again, this time causing the Venus in front of him to rise. In the haze, I saw Long Shenlu leap high with his sword in both hands, "Little Dragon!" the boy shouted, but only spit out a string of bubbles. The effectiveness of the pill was declining, the spring miasma invaded the body, and the illusion of demons dancing wildly enveloped the 17-year-old boy, and Jonah's face alternated between ecstasy and madness, and his whole body writhed and consumed the only remaining oxygen in his lungs. At this moment, the rootless fire dived from the water and swallowed him in one gulp, writhing its massive roots and swimming towards the deeper surface of the lake like a large octopus. A smaller, rootless fire appeared beside it, and the dragon scales were held in its mouth, swimming in the direction of the previous plant. The fact that such territorially minded plants would fight together was a sight that would make botanists all over the continent drop their jaws, but unfortunately none of the witnesses could see it. The Dragonstone's earth-shattering blow only hit the illusion, and then he was knocked unconscious, and he became a captive with Jonah and was transported to an unknown place.

The wrath of the King of Assassins can wipe out an army and destroy a city, but the belated Asai sees nothing but the monotonous gray waters, "Brother Jonah!" His furious roar reverberates through Yunmengze, causing the countless inhabitants of the Desolate Daze to cringe instinctively. The man stood alone in the night, a fire of self-reproach and chagrin shrouded in his body.

It had been a full ten hours since Jonah and Long Shenlu woke up, and during that time, the Rootless Fire had swam a distance of one hundred and forty miles into the heart of Yunmengze. With an average depth of more than fifty yards, it is a natural off-limits area for humans, as the grey waters of the lake cannot hold up boats. It was already dark, and the heat of the lake caused the miasma to rise and the air began to become clearer. Jonah opened his eyes, coughing violently and propping himself up, and in front of him were overlapping red petals, which seemed to be in the mouth of a rootless fire. After spitting out the bitter water in his stomach, he began to check his body, and his belongings and staff were all there, and he was not injured, which confirmed his conjecture that these plants were not malicious.

The boy stood up, stretched out his hand and touched the petals of the rootless fire, and the forty-eight petals slowly bloomed, and when he looked around, he was immediately startled. The giant plant was suspended in the water, the buds were about ten yards above the water, and the lake was not calm at all, and a huge whirlpool appeared below, Jona had never seen such a terrible whirlpool in his life, tens of thousands of tons of water swirled, howled, and rushed from all directions, and in an instant it was swallowed up by the whirlpool, and the wind brought by the whirlpool alone could cut a person's face.

Turning his head, there was a rootless fire next to him, and Long Shenlan was standing on the flower and staring blankly at the whirlpool. "Little Dragon!" exclaimed Jonah, "you're alright, great!"

"What is this place, Jonah, is there the end of the world?" the little dragon asked him confusedly.

"I don't know, it should be the center of Yunmengze. These flowers have no ill intentions, but why did they bring us to this place?" Jonah cried, and if he didn't shout loudly, his voice would be drowned out by the rumbling water, "Don't move, it's terrible if you fall......"

"I see!" replied Long Shenscale. He held the famous sword "Jianxi" in his hand, and even if he passed out, his hand never relaxed. The rootless buds of the fire cut off the water, the air, and the elemental senses, the former saving the lives of the dragon and Jonah, and the latter preventing Arsai from recovering their location. At this moment, on the edge of Yunmengze in the distance, Ah Sai suddenly rose from the silence, looked to the north, and then shot out against the lake.

A 17-year-old boy uses his brain quickly. What does the rootless fire want to do? These plants, no matter how special they are, can't have such intelligence, who is directing them? What is hiding in the depths of this whirlpool? Is it the enemy? How can I escape in this situation? I must not fall into the water, even if I am not swept away by the whirlpool, I will sink to the bottom of the water and never float...... He looked left and right, and found that there was no way to determine the direction, the sky was covered with a multicolored miasma, the sun was shining down from the clouds, and the bleak and vast gray lake had no reference.

"Jonah-senpai, no, jump over here, your grass is starting to wither!" Long Shenlu suddenly shouted. Jonah looked down to see that the rootless buds were withering at a visible rate, and the large, jagged red petals were gradually turning to rotten crimson flakes and falling. "The same goes for yours!" he saw as the smaller plant next to him was also beginning to wither, its stems yellowing and shriveling down toward the water.

The two teenagers looked at each other from a distance.

"What to do, Jonah-senpai?" asked the little dragon in a daze.

The astrologer quickly opened the deerskin bag and wanted to summon the moonlight elf to help, but the cap of the glass jar could not be unscrewed at all, and the green-haired elf was sleeping in it, it seemed that the fierce battle last night had exhausted her strength and could not summon it for the time being. "Xiaolong, I'm sorry......" he looked up palely, "there's nothing I can do...... I'm sorry for you......"

The two rootless fires snapped at the same time, and Jonah and Long Shen fell into a huge whirlpool of raging waves. Jonah curled up with his head in his hands, feeling the magic shield shatter at the first collision with the current, and the irresistible force threw his body violently, spinning and falling into the black hole in the center of the vortex. The rumbling sound of water roared in all directions, and Jonah screamed and fell into the abyss, but he quickly closed his mouth, and to his surprise, the center of the whirlpool was very calm, and it was not hit by the current again.

He waved his hands and feet in the air to adjust his posture, and the whirring wind in his ears told him that he was still falling rapidly, and that there was darkness around him and he couldn't see anything clearly, and the astrologer activated the illuminated star array. The light illuminated the surroundings, and it was a huge cavern forty yards in diameter, and it would be inaccurate to say that it was a cave, because the walls of the cave were made up of a rapid swirling stream of water, and the gray water swirled around it towards the bottom of the lake, but not a drop of water splashed into the cave, as if there was an invisible wall blocking the water from the outside. A piece of dry bread floated out of Jonah's unbuttoned deerskin bag and flew towards the cave wall, where it was twisted into crumbs by the rapids.

“...... What is this?" said Jonah to himself in astonishment, grabbing books, rations, and jars and jars floating out of the room, and scrambling back into the packet. The scope of the illuminated star array is limited, and it is impossible to see the scene below, and the cave in this whirlpool does not know how deep it is. There was no shadow of Long Shen's scales around, and Jonah gently paddled his hands and feet to maintain his position, so as not to touch the cave wall and be swept away by the current, while thinking about how to escape. He quickly came to the conclusion that he had to leave it to his fate. Whether the bottom of the cave is rock, sand, water, or giant mushrooms, falling from such a high place will inevitably fall to pieces, unless you master the floating star array like the Night Fifteen Kingdoms...... How many people in the world can do it?

At this time, a phenomenon suddenly attracted the attention of astrologers. Instead of a constant gray, the rapids around them appeared in a variety of colors, red, blue, yellow, green, black, large and small, and the fragments of color, large and small, that Jonah guessed were the corpses of plants, animals, humans, and monsters in the clouds, and that the desolate lake was transporting all the protoplasm it could collect to the bottom of the lake through a whirlpool. After a few minutes, the scene changed again, and a more brilliant and colorful stream of water joined the whirlpool, and thousands of colors dissolved in the water, forming a fluttering band of light, "This is the color of the miasma!" The lake also swept the miasma in...... In this way, although Yun Mengze itself is extremely lacking in magic elements, he can feel abundant magic fluctuations in the miasma. Jonah exclaimed.

"Merging 10,000 colors turns gray, merging 10,000 elements turns gray, and when the fourth sun rises, Ayala sinks in the gray lake. ...... I see......" His eyes widened suddenly.

That's right, this is the place of prophecy of Seglas the Betrayer, where the eighth prophecy is revealed. As the depth continues to fall, the colourful waters of the lake gradually turn gray, and it is no longer a lifeless gray, but a vibrant gray, containing the full, full-bodied gray that makes up all the qualities of life. "And where is the fourth sun?" Jonah's heart was now free of fear, for he knew that the nameless book had brought him here, and that he must have witnessed something, good and bad, that fate had already happened.

"What do you want me to see, Yun Mengze?" the 17-year-old muttered. The wind hunts, the fall is almost endless, and Jonah is like a bullet out of the chamber, illuminating the dark secret passage of Yunmengze with light from the distant starry sky.
