The Wizarding World: Throne of Frost - Chapter 142
Renault ordered the chip to conduct a comprehensive and meticulous scan of the mysterious hole in front of him. As time passed, the chip continued to collect and analyze various data and fed back the results to Renault.
After an in-depth study and analysis, the chip concluded that this hole has existed for quite a long time. It does not look like it was formed naturally, but more like a creature struggling to drill out from the inside.
There is no doubt that if the legendary ruins entrance is really hidden here, then this strange hole is undoubtedly the most likely place.
After all, under the advanced detection technology of the chip, the materials of the entire lake bottom appear extraordinary – they seem to have a magical ability to perfectly cover up any form of energy fluctuations.
Because of this, there are almost no other clues on the surrounding lake bottom, and this conspicuous hole has become the only important clue to be pursued at present.
Thinking of this, Renault couldn’t help but feel doubtful. He thought to himself: “Could it be that the terrifying giant water monster sneaked into the lake through this hole, and then gradually grew into its current huge and terrifying appearance over the long years?”
Although this speculation is bold, it is not unreasonable considering all the signs.
Just when Renault was concentrating on observing the surroundings, he suddenly realized that the light around him seemed to be pulled away by an invisible big hand and quickly dimmed.
At the same time, a creepy chill came from above his head. Renault subconsciously looked up and saw a huge black shadow that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Immediately afterwards, the chip that had been silently guarding Renault issued a harsh and rapid scarlet alarm, which instantly flashed in front of Renault’s eyes.
This sudden alarm made Renault’s heartbeat suddenly accelerate, and his nerves instantly tensed to the extreme.
Through the chip’s perspective, Renault was horrified to find that the giant water monster that was originally trapped in the thick ice had broken free from its restraints at some point!
Its huge body, as big as a mountain, was now rushing towards the direction of Renault and Lucas with a thunderous force at an astonishing speed.
Lucas, who was standing by, obviously also keenly captured this abnormal change. He and Renault felt the fatal threat almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, without any hesitation, and their bodies flashed, like ghosts, turning into two speeding shadows, and quickly drilled towards the narrow hole nearby.
At that moment, the water monster’s eyes only caught two shadows that were speeding past like lightning, and they rushed into the dark hole at an astonishing speed.
However, the reaction of this behemoth was a little slow. Before it could stop the momentum of its huge body, it crashed headfirst into the extremely hard lake bottom outside the hole like a runaway train.
In an instant, it seemed as if the entire lake bottom felt a strong impact and shook violently. The lake water was stirred up into turbulent waves, forming huge ripples that spread out in all directions.
However, surprisingly, despite the strong impact force, the lake bottom did not produce any damage or cracks.
The poor water monster was miserable! Because of this violent collision, it was also shaken and dizzy, with stars in its eyes, and its head was buzzing, and it felt that the whole world was spinning.
After a long time, it gradually woke up from the dizziness. But when it looked closely, Renault and Lucas, who should have been close at hand, had disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
Anger instantly filled the water monster’s heart, it opened its bloody mouth, and let out a deafening roar to the sky. The roar was like rolling thunder, echoing over the entire lake, scaring the nearby fish and shrimps to flee in all directions.
The giant water monster was filled with resentment and anger. It couldn’t figure out how the two little humans slipped away right under its nose.
At this time, Renault and Lucas turned into shadows and went into the mysterious cave.
As the two continued to move deeper, the originally narrow cave began to slowly expand, as if it was slowly stretched open by an invisible big hand. Not long after, the cave became as big as a small lake!
Seeing this, Renault and Lucas finally broke away from the shadow stealth state they had been maintaining and returned to their normal appearance.
Suddenly, the two noticed that there seemed to be a faint light flickering above their heads. Although this light was weak, it was particularly eye-catching in this dark environment.
Without any hesitation, Renault and Lucas looked at each other, and then swam quickly towards the direction where the light came from.
They were so fast, like two lightning bolts streaking across the water, creating a string of crystal clear water splashes. Soon, the two swam to a place very close to the lake surface. Then, they carefully poked their heads out of the water, wanting to see clearly what the light was coming from.
When they carefully poked their heads out of the water, the scene in front of them made them stare wide-eyed.
What they thought was a mysterious light source was now clearly displayed in front of them – it turned out to be the sun moss growing on the top of the cave!
These mosses emitted a soft light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire cave.
They looked around and realized that they were in a small lake in the cave.
They moved their noses curiously, and a fresh air came to their noses, which surprised them. After careful exploration, they found that this seemingly closed lake bottom cave actually had such a sufficient supply of oxygen.
At this time, Renault’s chip began to run quickly and analyze the surrounding environment. After a while, the result appeared in front of Renault: the source of oxygen was the sun moss above his head!
It turned out that this strange plant not only provides bright light, but also bears the important responsibility of supplying oxygen to the cave.
Seeing this amazing discovery, Renault and Lucas were very excited. They jumped without hesitation and jumped directly out of the lake. With two “plops”, the two landed steadily on the ground of the cave.
What is amazing is that the moment they touched the ground, the gills originally used for underwater breathing and the webbed feet that helped swimming disappeared quickly as if they were cast by magic, and were replaced by their normal human body form.
Renault and Lucas looked at the cave in front of them and knew that they had successfully entered the ruins.
