Wizard's Journey

Chapter 198 Thunder Mirror at the Bottom of the Lake

The mysterious energy beneath the lake water?

After receiving this information from the crystal turtle, Green immediately became interested. Just now, Green had indeed sensed from the natural forces he had mobilized that there seemed to be some strange energy mixture beneath these lakes.

However, this was normal for wizards, and Green hadn't paid much attention to it at first. But after Crystal Turtle's explanation, he couldn't suppress his desire to go and investigate.

With the wizard's shield on, Green sank into the water with a "plop".

The lake water wasn't as clear as Green had imagined. There were countless bubbles rising all around, and visibility was only a few meters. So Green immediately switched to ultrasonic positioning magic to probe the bottom of the lake, and a black and white material appeared in Green's mind.

There was no other life in the lake, and the water temperature was about 21 degrees Celsius. It seemed that because the fire element dominated the rules of this world, this small area of ​​water was squeezed by the surrounding rules, and the energy purity was extremely high.

The lake was over ten meters deep. Green stood on a giant rock at the bottom, bent down, and gently touched the stone with his fingers to analyze it, but he did not sense any special substances in the stone. As he slowly walked along the lake bottom, the surrounding water, under Green's subtle manipulation of the forces of nature, seemed like a gentle caress from countless hands.

"Master, I'm here."

The crystal turtle transformed into tiny, shimmering specks, leading Grimm to a crevice between layers of jagged rocks. Below, Grimm seemed to sense some weak points in the void.

The so-called weak point in the void refers to the weak point in the material space within the relative spatial boundary perceived by Green.

These are often the places where the material world is most likely to produce world rifts. This made Green's mind jump. Could this be a world rift connecting the Shadow Mystery World with other worlds?

It can't be that much of a coincidence!

At this moment, Green knew what a treasure it would be for the wizarding world if a world rift could be discovered.

This means that the Stigmata Wizards who venture into this world will no longer need to expend enormous wealth to leverage the rules of fate and send spatial fortresses through the void to descend into otherworldly realms. Furthermore, they will be able to quickly establish a foothold in this unprepared alien world, unlike the invasion of the Shadow Mystery world, where they were attacked by alien creatures that had been preparing for months upon arrival.

This……

Green looked somewhat excited as he walked among the underwater boulders, calculating the best way to move them.

A moment later, Green put away his magic wand and, with the help of his powerful physique and the surrounding water elemental power, slowly lifted some smaller stones out of the water and threw them at the entrance of the cave by the lake.

Donglong.

After throwing down the boulder, Grimm's magic surged, summoning the Greedy Flame Giant.

At this moment, the Greedy Flame Giant still had many wounds on its body and was curled up in a ball to recuperate. Now that it had been reconstructed by Grimm's mental power, it had to slowly stand up. Its five-meter-tall body felt somewhat cramped in this small space.

Instinctively, the Crystal Turtle felt a sense of fear towards this elemental creature whose main body was this exotic fire.

Grimm commanded the Flame Giants to guard the entrance to the underground lake, then turned to the Crystal Turtle and asked, "Since you say the Amonro here regard you as a sacred object, why are there only low-level Amonro guarding it?"

"That's because they've all rushed off to relocate the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon from the underground space," the Crystal Turtle said in a deep voice.

Ok?

The Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon? Isn't that what the soul-grafted witchcraft scarecrow said at the end?

"Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon, what is that?" Grimm asked.

The Crystal Turtle, perched on the back of Grimm's hand, shook its head: "Over the long years, because I rarely left this place, I've never personally seen the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon. However, according to the Amonro guards here, the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon is enormous, and its breath is extremely aggressive. It was a companion of the Lava Giants when they ruled this world, but now it's merely livestock for the Amonro clan to produce the enigmatic Great Castle's poisonous breath."

The Mysterious Ancient Castle? Amonro's Railgun Launcher

So, this creature called the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon is actually the source of the raw materials for those Bloodmoss Cannonballs?

He had no interest in learning about the grudges between Amonro and the Lava Giants in this world, because it wouldn't bring Grimm any benefit. Instead, he was interested in the history of the Lava Giants' expedition to the Shura World, because finding that world rift would be an unimaginable fortune for a demon hunter.

The wealth of that Asura world, which was able to defeat the ancient Lava Giant Expeditionary Force, must far surpass that of this Shadow Mystery world, right?

However, since the world rift is sealed, it will gradually heal without periodic damage from external forces, and then transform into a new rift in other parts of the world. Therefore, it is unrealistic to try to find that world rift through the ancient historical clues of this world.

"How did they move the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon? You know, this area is full of wizards. Not to mention huge creatures, even Amonro has been slaughtered and is hard to find." Green asked with a sneer.

"Uh? No, no, Master, you misunderstand. The Great Bloodfall Lava Dragons, used as raw materials, have been completely controlled by Amonro through the roots of the Zhangma Tree in the magma layer. They can escape from here by entering the belly of the controlled lava dragons in the underground magma," the Crystal Turtle explained.

Magma layer?

hiss……

Grimm gasped, incredulous. "A creature living in the magma layer? Its resistance to fire elemental energy must be at least ten thousand degrees! Unless… it's a fire spirit!"

While busy moving the boulders, Green was exchanging information with the Crystal Turtle. Upon learning of this valuable information, he immediately sped up his work even more.

If there's no harvest at the bottom of this lake, we need to hurry and intercept the Amonroes who are trying to escape by moving the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon deeper underground.

Putting everything else aside, if we could capture a Bloodfall Lava Dragon, with the wizard's abilities, we might be able to develop an antidote for Bloodmoss within a few months, thus gaining an advantage in some future wars.

There's even a possibility that a wizard might receive a third-class medal of honor for this.

Thinking of this, Green's heart burned even hotter!

Three hourglasses later, as Green managed to move a boulder more than ten meters in diameter slightly, a burst of lightning energy emerged.

Glug glug...

After some bubbles rose from the bottom of the lake, Green exclaimed incredulously, "Impossible! This... this is... the lightning energy from the cut in the broken branch?"

Beneath a giant rock more than ten meters deep at the bottom of the lake, a layer of lightning energy, as stable as a mirror, is calmly interwoven. This lightning mirror surface seems to be in a folded space. Although it is hundreds of meters in size, in the material world it is only connected to the small space where Green moved the giant rock.

The pale purple-blue Thunder Mirror emitted a faint light, and both Green and the crystal turtle on the back of his hand stared wide-eyed, looking dazed.

Green was surprised because these lightning energies would appear here in the same "primitive" state, similar to the cut end of a branch. Crystal Turtle, on the other hand, had no idea why this was happening.

wrong!

Suppressing his surprise, Green instantly regained his composure and carefully observed everything around him, immediately concluding that this place was not naturally formed. In other words, this mirror of lightning was likely 'artificially created' by some powerful creature in this world before the Crystal Turtle was born.

Green fell silent.

Clearly, the secret before them was far beyond the reach of someone at Green's level. Opportunity often comes with equal danger; blindly venturing in would only bring disaster.

Should we stay here and wait until we are strong enough to enter this world and uncover its secrets? Or should we offer ourselves to the great Holy Mark Wizard now and reap the benefits?

Green fell into deep thought; both sides had their advantages.

If Green were to personally explore the area in the future, he could acquire all the potential resources and benefits that might appear there; however, the existing benefits at present could reduce the risks and simultaneously improve his resource gathering during his low-level wizarding period, thus shortening the duration of his low-level wizarding career.

but……

Regardless of the choice, it must be based on one foundation: Green must thoroughly investigate why such an "artificial" thunder mirror appears here and what its purpose is.

This may be some clue that Green has deciphered ahead of time regarding the mysterious lightning power of the two broken branches.
