Even the naughtiest child will obediently stay at home on such a night, never daring to go out of the house.

However, this is not the most terrifying legend.

It is said that whenever there is a pair of innocent eyes gazing at the black pool, they will always see a huge shadow emerge from the water.

The shadow grew endlessly, like a monster crawling out of hell.

The shadow is not fixed, sometimes dancing on the surface of the water, sometimes diving to the bottom.

It is said that it is the guardian of the Blackwater Pool, who is waiting for unknown prey, ready to devour them.

The shadow would sometimes reach out with a huge claw, trying to grab any creature on the shore.

However, no matter how hard it tries, it never touches anything.

Because the water of the Black Pool, like an invisible wall, isolates the shadow from the outside world.

However, whenever this happens, a ripple appears on the surface of the Blackwater Pool, and that ripple seems to remind people that the horror in the water is watching them and waiting for their next prey.

I frantically dived underwater, and I knew that Gongyi's words were real.

Her black hair was as deep as night, and her eyes seemed to carry poetry and distance.

I have to find her, I can't let anyone, anything wipe her out of my world.

The depths of the black pool were unusually cold, and it was pitch black all around, and only the pain in my body and the panic in my heart made me feel my presence.

I tried to reach out and grope in the dark, hoping to touch Miya's body. However, I found nothing except a few times touching the icy stones.

I told myself not to give up, not to let panic and despair take over me.

I have to insist, I have to find the palace word.

It was then that I realized that the silence under the water had been broken.

I heard a strange sound.

It was a low, trembling sound, as if it were some kind of creature from deep underwater.

I felt my body stiff and my heart raced, but I didn't run away, I didn't choose to go back.

Because, I know, if I give up now, I may never see Gong Yiyu again.

I struggled to suppress my fear and continued to swim in the direction of the sound. The voice became clearer, and I could tell it was a female voice, muttering, as if calling.

"Gong Yiyu?" It occurred to me that the voice could be her call.

I picked up speed and rushed to the source of the sound.

However, as I got closer, I noticed that the sound was not coming from a particular direction, but echoed in all directions, as if the entire blackwater pool was filled with it.

I felt a little lost and powerless.

I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't even know where I am now. It was like I was lost in the abyss of fear and despair, with no direction and no purpose.

However, just when I was about to despair, I saw a light.

It was an emerald green light, as clear as emerald.

It flickered in the depths of the water, like a beacon guiding me forward.

I swam to that light, and that light seemed to call me and guide me.

I felt that I was getting closer, closer, and the light was getting brighter and brighter.

I felt my heart stop beating instantly.

The eyes were so big that they were as tall as I am.

Its pupils are emerald green and shimmer with a soul-stirring light.

It is like the only light in the depths of the black pool, in that gloomy and solemn environment, but that light is not the light that gives people hope, but the light that brings despair.

Every blink of that eye was accompanied by the acceleration of my heartbeat.

Its eyelids were heavy, its muscles bulged, and every blink was like an earthquake, shaking every inch of my soul. The surrounding area of the eyes was inky black, and only occasionally when the pupils constricted, could you see the depth and indifference in them.

The eye was like the master of the Blackwaterhole, silently watching me, and I felt its gaze, a gaze that saw through all my fears and powerlessness, as if to mock the ignorance and timidity of my uninvited guest.

Although it hung quietly, it gave me a sense of oppression, as if it was a mountain deep at the bottom of the pool, pressing on my heart.

I felt the fear, the fear that I had never felt before, the fear that came from the depths of my life.

I tried to escape, but my body felt like it was frozen, and I couldn't move.

I could only look at that eye and watch it twinkle in the darkness, like a lonely star, but like a cunning predator, quietly waiting for its next prey.

I think this is the monster of the Black Water Pool.

That incomparably terrifying eye, the eye that belonged to the water monster, the huge, green eye, was the guardian of the Black Water Pool, the demon that took away countless lives.

At that moment, I understood why the villagers jumped into the Black Water Pool without resistance, and why the Black Water Pool became the Pool of Death.

The villagers were lured by the ruler of the Black Water Pool, as if possessed by a spell, and then went deeper and deeper into the Black Water Pool until they all disappeared.

I also understand why every time someone stares at the Blackwater Pool, they always see a huge shadow appear.

That's the ruler of the Black Water Pool, that's the water monster.

I am in front of it now, I feel its horror, I feel its domineering, I feel its ruthlessness.

I knew I was in a dangerous situation, and I knew I could fall prey to a water monster at any moment, but I still didn't give up.

Because I know that the palace I'm looking for is here, in the depths of the Black Water Pool.

I can't give up on her, I can't leave her alone with this.

Gong Yiyu made a lot of sacrifices for me, and even disappeared from my side.

I can't let her down!

My heart was beating like a drum and I tried to calm myself as much as I could.

I took a deep breath, straightened up, and moved closer to the huge, terrifying water monster.

I try to make myself look fearless, although I know it's almost impossible.

When I looked closely, I realized that its body was still much bigger than I had imagined.

Its body was like a huge dark vortex, exuding a powerful aura that was impossible to ignore.

I can't estimate its actual size, but it feels like the endless darkness is its body.

The body of the water monster is densely packed with tentacles, and these tentacles are long, floating in the water like seaweed.

Some of them are tightly intertwined like vines, while others are churning freely in the water.

I saw that the tip of each tentacle was a human head.

The heads seemed to be connected by invisible threads, densely packed, without any expression, but their eyes were wide open.
