Section 18 Underwater respirators
The surface of the lake is sparkling and endless, with the sunset oblique and the shadows of the trees hazy.
"You mean, there's a palace down there?" Landry's tone was so exaggerated that anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was acting, "I thought I could only see this kind of scene in fairy tales!"
"Landry, put away your clumsy performance, to be honest, you have too much wizarding flavor in you, and you don't look like a mortal no matter how you act. Dora ruthlessly debunked, "I remember that there was a similar lake-bottom palace in the north of Rainbow Island. β
"Well, you got it. It's just that the lake isn't that big. Landry said smirkedly.
At this moment, the group, including all the green goblins, gathered on the edge of the blue lake.
"Have you regained your strength?" asked Dora, a little worried.
Out of the green elves came a petite girl, none other than their leader, Anan.
She shook her head, "Not 100 percent, but it should be able to survive those two places." It's become unsafe on the surface, and we must get out of here as soon as possible. β
Lance nodded, "That's true." Whether it's the Rambo Guild or the Grey-Eyed Cultists, they're afraid they'll soon find out about the destruction of the base. Judging by their previous style, these people will not give up. β
"Mr. Lance is right, so we have to act as soon as possible!"
Anan said with a worried face.
Immediately, she let out a low command at her people.
Soon, the green goblins jumped from the shore into the lake according to Anan's order, and the splashes came and went. After they jumped, they never looked up again.
In just a few minutes, all the green goblins had jumped into the lake.
"They look very weak...... Landry hesitated, "Could there be a problem?"
"It doesn't matter, green goblins are natural swimmers. Dora said, "Instead of worrying about them, worry about yourself." β
"Aha?" Landry was a little dazed.
"Do you know how to swim?" asked Dora, squinting.
Landry shook his head.
"It's a challenge for someone who can't swim to keep up with the green elf underwater. Dora blinked, "Even if you have [Underwater Breathing Potions] to help." β
With that, she took out five vials of green potion and handed them out one by one.
Anan smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Landry, we won't swim too fast." Just keep up. β
"Is this an underwater breathing potion?" Lance took the green potion. Uncorked the bottle and sniffed.
A smell of aquatic plants mixed with the fishy smell of earth came out.
"The method used is to take it internally, and this bottle will provide three hours of underwater breathing and underwater mobility. Dora was the first to pour the potion, and she jumped into the lake.
Plop!
"Without further ado, let's go!" Dora's head popped out of the lake. Then it sank down quickly.
Her voice seemed to grow hoarse.
Lance didn't delay any longer. I drank the potion in one gulp. Then jumped into the water.
The icy waters of the lake wrapped him tightly. An indescribable feeling pervaded.
Crunch crunch!
He actually heard the sound of bones growing in his body in the water.
In the next second, his body underwent an astonishing change-
The cheeks on his face itched unbearably in the blink of an eye. Several cracks were cut on the sides, and two small bubbles were added to the inside of the mouth.
"It's ...... Is this the gills?" Lance was surprised as he examined his body as he asked the fox to take note of the changes.
He tried to take a breath, but the cold water delivered a constant stream of oxygen that made him feel unusually comfortable.
On top of that, the tips of his feet have been flattened, making them perfect for swimming!
He swung his feet slightly, and the double pu was like a fish's tail with great propulsion, allowing him to move quickly through the water.
"It's a really fun underwater breathing agent. As he thought this, a sound of fluttering sounds sounded beside him.
The other three also jumped into the water after taking underwater breathing drugs. Their bodies also underwent rapid changes.
The four of them looked at each other, all of them showing strange looks, everyone was using underwater breathing drugs for the first time, and they would inevitably feel strange.
Under the dark water, a shadow flashed, and it was Anan beckoning to them.
Without delay, the group immediately shook their legs and followed Anan to the bottom of the dark lake.
......
At the edge of the forest, two figures, one high and one low, slowly appeared.
"Dad. Is that Mr. Lance a good man?"
Sasha asked softly as she took Forriland's right hand.
Forry Land's expression was complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he smiled: "Mr. Lance saved Sasha's life, of course he is a good person." β
"And what about the man who cursed Sasha, is he a bad person?"
The girl asked innocently.
Forry Land was stunned for a moment, the figure of that person flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know what to do." β
"He must be a bad person!" Sasha snorted: "In order to trick his father into helping him do bad things, he deliberately cursed Sasha, although Sasha is small, but I know all these things." β
Forry Land hugged Sasha, "Okay, Daddy won't do anything for that person anymore." We'll get out of here and go home. β
"Uh-huh, go home. Sasha suddenly said, "Dad, I miss Mom......"
Forry Land was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more complicated.
He shook his head and sighed, "Your mother ......"
"I'm sorry, Dad, Sasha shouldn't have mentioned Mommy. Mom is also a bad person. The girl whispered.
"No, your mother, he's not like us. She's a wizardβa real wizard, not a dad like that. Forry Land smiled wryly.
The old past resurfaced in front of him, and Forriland's eyes were vaguely blurred.
Sasha stayed quietly and did not speak.
Good half a day. Forry Land woke up suddenly. He picked up Sasha and strode forward: "Don't worry about these things, let's go home." β
Who knew that he had just walked out of the road a few steps, and a ghostly shadow suddenly fell from the sky!
It was a man with long purple hair and gecko-like eyes.
His voice was magnetic: "Forry Land, Sasha...... Long time no see. β
Forriland's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a long time in shock.
Sasha pointed at the man and shouted, "Bad guy!"
"You want to leave Ferendor?" the man's gaze locked on Forriland's, "Have you forgotten the wish you once told me about?"
Forry Land smiled bitterly and said, "I, I just want Sasha to grow up safely now......
"Once wished, let it go with the wind. β
"If you still think I was a friend back then, let our father and daughter go, Patriarch......"
......
The sun can shine on the earth. but it does not shine below forty feet.
The dark bottom of the water is dark except for a few glowing fish that occasionally bring some light. Poor visibility.
Fortunately, Lance and the others had taken underwater breathing drugs, and they had mastered some of the fish instincts, and they could judge the direction of the person leading the way from the fluctuation of the current.
Half an hour later, they reached the bottom of the blue lake.
However, what baffles them is this. It's a place full of white sand. And didn't see any palaces.
Once you reach the bottom of the water. Anan didn't stop, but walked around the coral reef on the side.
Lance and the others had no choice but to follow.
Under this water. They couldn't open their mouths to communicate, so they could only silently follow the people in front of them. And in the process, they also have to be very careful, otherwise it is easy to lose someone.
The reef was rich in life, enough to be an eye-opener for Lance.
After crossing a large expanse of colored coral, they plunged headlong into the rubble.
"Why do you have to go through the coral reefs and the rocks?
Lance's mind was full of doubts.
The rubble pile was very unsuitable for swimming, and the not-so-swimmers like Lance suffered a lot along the way - when their legs were swinging, the growing puss would hit the sharp stones on the side, and although it would not directly scratch the scar, it was very painful.
Lance held back a sense of depression, and it took more than twenty minutes for him to leave the rubble.
There was a little light ahead, and all the green goblins gathered outside the rubble.
Lance's heart moved, and he leaned over.
The light came from below the front, which was rare in the dark waters.
"I finally got through the first hurdle. β
"Yes, thanks to these rocks as cover, otherwise those turbulent currents at the bottom of the lake would not have been avoided. β
"As long as you pass the previous hurdle, you will be safe. β
To Lance's surprise, he actually heard the green goblins talking.
The sound is still very clear.
"These green goblins can talk to each other in the water, it's never been seen before. Lance exclaimed, and as he made out some of the questions from their conversation.
If you don't walk around the rocks, you may be swept away by the undercurrents at the bottom of some lakes, which can lead to some dangers.
"What is the previous level they are talking about?"
His heart moved, and he suddenly accelerated forward.
I saw a huge fault suddenly appear at the bottom of the water in front of him, and he seemed to be standing on the edge of a mountain cliff. Looking down, it was an extremely spectacular scene-
A giant whirlpool more than sixty feet in diameter stretched beneath the fault, and all kinds of powerful currents flowed out of the whirlpool and surged in all directions.
The whirlpool swirled slowly, like a silent beast, staring at everyone.
That light emanated from the very center of the whirlpool.
"What a horrible whirlpool. Lance leaned closer, his expression changing slightly.
He felt a force of attraction that he couldn't help but have.
The voice of the green elf leader sounded at the right time:
"Everyone, please note that the [Morrison Vortex] only has a ten-second pause every half hour, and we must rush into the center of the vortex within ten seconds to reach the Ancestors' Refuge. Otherwise, once you are caught up in turbulence, you will encounter unknowable dangers, please be careful!" (To be continued......)
