Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 336 The results of the trial and the changed plan (Part )
  As her vision suddenly dimmed, Alina felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped significantly.

Even with the magic given by Avis, even though the [Underwater Stealth] magic greatly isolated the influence of the surrounding environment on her, she still couldn't help but feel an indescribable coldness.

She subconsciously wanted to use fire magic to dispel the chill that seemed to seep into her bones, but considering the [Underwater Stealth] magic on her body, she rationally gave up the idea of ​​​​the former, and instead concentrated on fighting against it. This cold.

But such an attempt seemed to be just a drop in the bucket. After a while, the chill that seemed to freeze her whole body and soul as she dived deeper penetrated the barrier again and reached her mind. , making her whole body shiver uncontrollably.

"Stars..."

Driven by the increasingly strong chill, Alina quickly thought about the corresponding first aid measures in her mind. After ruling out the option of using fire magic to keep warm, the second first aid measure she could think of was to use the Star Lighthouse. 'The remaining power of the stars increases the thickness of the barrier around her.

But as soon as such an idea took shape, she quickly gave it up.

Because she noticed that the corresponding constellation during this time period was the dark blue Mercury related to water. Although there was no substantial confirmation on whether the dark blue Mercury would resonate with the underwater environment, Alina did not go there in the end. Take risks and think of other options.

Soon, she pulled out a card from her space storage bracelet and activated the magical effect contained in the card without much effort.

This is an enchantment magic that contains the wind element. Although the effect of the enchantment is definitely not as good as that of water magic, Alina was at the peak of her strength when she made this card. Not only that, in order to maximize the card's The ground worked, and she also borrowed the power of her wind-type magical device, the folding fan. Together, not only was the barrier powerful enough, it was also enough to allow her to endure the cold for a while longer.

Thinking like this, Alina calmed down again and focused on examining the surrounding environment.

However, what she saw with the help of [Underwater Vision] was nothing but clumps of coral seaweed that seemed to have been silent for many years, spreading up from nowhere, and sparse fish swimming by. thing, which made her very disappointed.

Of course, she had some expectations in advance for such a depressed scene. After all, if there were any secrets hidden underwater, they wouldn't be placed in such an obvious position. Therefore, Alina was only disappointed for a moment before she continued to concentrate and tried to continue diving.

It's a pity that she, who is not a water magician, could not overcome her caution after all. After only diving to a depth of a few meters, she stopped diving and began to seize the time to examine the surrounding environment.

This time, the surrounding scenery was slightly different than before. In addition to the coral seaweed that I had seen before, the plants distributed on the seabed also included some fragments of water lilies and water hyacinths that seemed to have been withered for a long time.

The seaweed that seemed sparse before gradually became denser as she went deeper, as if they had formed a small and strange forest underwater.

It’s strange why these seaweeds survive but not water lilies and water hyacinths.

Leaving aside water lilies, it is very strange that water hyacinth, an underwater creature with extremely strong survivability, cannot survive underwater...

So what exactly causes this phenomenon to occur?

Are water hyacinths and water lilies unable to adapt to the environment here?
  So what makes it unable to adapt to such an environment? Special magic or special geographical environment?

If it was the latter, then she believed that, in addition to water lilies and water hyacinths, seaweeds would not be spared unless...

The problem is not the dead, non-viable plants. But those that are alive and can still grow lushly...

Just as the idea of ​​skipping the middle took shape, the seaweeds standing quietly at the bottom of the lake suddenly seemed to notice it and shook their bodies crazily, as if they wanted to catch something, but in the end they found nothing.

Shocked by this scene, Alina's heart skipped a beat. Contacting the anomaly that was far beyond the ordinary cold limit, she immediately did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly mobilized the magic elements around her to let her body swim upward.

But just when she was about to escape from the search for those mutated seaweeds and return to a safer area, the seaweed jungle beneath her strangely stopped all movement.

Before she had time to think about the reason, Alina's ears immediately echoed with a vague and thick sound of bells that seemed familiar to her, but also seemed like it was a lifetime ago.

clang~
  When the first bell fell, the seaweeds that stretched out in all directions immediately calmed down. They retracted their outward extensions and began to shrink back as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

clang~
  When the second bell fell, the area where the seaweed retracted suddenly developed a huge suction force, sucking in the decayed water lilies, water hyacinths, snapdragons and other underwater plant remains.

Without paying attention to the source of the suction, and without waiting for the third bell to ring, Alina raised the 'Star Lighthouse' again, activating the remaining power of the stars to strengthen the surrounding barriers.

At this moment, there was another clang, and the third bell quietly fell. The densely packed seaweed suddenly separated. Almost at the same time, the underground area originally covered by the seaweed jungle suddenly appeared. Stairs going straight down.

This is?

Alina was about to take out a special magnifying glass that could magnify distant scenery to see what was going on. At this time, the 'Star Lighthouse' beside her suddenly made a violent shaking sound, as if it was fiercely fighting against something, and it seemed to be sensing something. What are you wearing?

Oops!

Recalling the previous experience of the 'Astrology Tutor', Alina immediately restrained her unnecessary curiosity, covered the 'Star Lighthouse' with both hands, and directly took the 'Star Lighthouse' that was still shaking abnormally upstream quickly.

This time, she didn't try to spy on anything. Realizing the danger, she immediately mobilized the wind magic elements around her that could be used, and walked away neatly and without any regrets.

But even so, when she returned to the shore, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable dizziness and coldness, which forced her to give up her plan to directly activate the [Space Teleportation] magic to return. She pressed her eyebrows with a painful expression and half-knelt by the lake. , breathing heavily, relieving the mental shock caused by the bursts of coldness and dizziness...
