Chapter 29 - The Passage Under the Lake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Zhuo Bufan: From the looks of it now, it should be the case! But in my view, the dragon race’s strength is very powerful. Coupled with our human race’s own abilities! We should be able to withstand it! It’s just that there will definitely be oversights! Everyone should pay more attention and be more vigilant to prevent unnecessary casualties.]

[Panda: According to what I know, the Demon Race has always had a good relationship with the Orc Race and the Centaur Race. It can even be said that they are of the same type. They like to kill and are bloodthirsty. However, there is a difference when it comes to the Demon Race’s targeting of the humans.]

[Anasu: It seems that apart from the dragons, we need other allies. If anyone matches up with the elves tomorrow, they can send an invitation to them. In this way, even if one of us is injured, as long as the elves are here, we can reduce our pain.]

At the mention of the elves, Zhuo Bufan felt a little regretful. If he had known that things would develop to this extent, he shouldn’t have attacked and hurt such a cute race in the arena back then.

However, on second thought, the attacks of the elves on the arena were not casually shot either. Moreover, some of his own people had already been injured and had withdrawn from the arena battles due to injuries.

Therefore, looking at it this way, both sides were also even. Thinking of this place, Zhuo Bufan was more or less somewhat relieved.

[Zhuo Bufan: Looks like our current arrangement is only like this. Form an alliance with the dragon race and the elves. This way, the attacks we receive will not be so tragic.]

After coming up with a way to deal with the problem, Zhuo Bufan was not so worried and started to work on making his own bed.

The bed boards had already been arranged. All that was left was to find some dry grass so that it would not feel uncomfortable when one slept on it. Fortunately, grass was everywhere.

In a short while, he made a lot. Seeing this simple bed, Zhuo Bufan finally let out a sigh of relief. He could have a good night’s sleep tonight, in contrast to when he was swaying on the hammock, unable to even find a comfortable position.

Throughout the whole time, the Snow Eagle stayed by his side, bringing a lot more fun and joy to Zhuo Bufan’s life. Especially when he saw the fellow’s clumsy walking appearance, and compared to its handsome posture when soaring in the horizon. Comparatively, the two were really contradictory.

The two little ones also worked hard to grow under the protection given. They did not take things easy just because they left their original nest at the tree.

Furthermore, Zhuo Bufan also discovered that the Snow Eagle were also very concerned about the two young birds. Other than flying out every day to find food, it would usually stay beside the nest. It could be said that it was a competent parent.

“Follow me to the back of the mountain for a spin later. I’m going to find something,” Zhuo Bufan said to the Snow Eagle.

The Snow Eagle tilted its head in response.

After a short rest, Zhuo Bufan brought the Snow Eagle to that same small path that led to the back of the mountain. He had managed to obtain the Red Spirit Fruit by accident the last time, however he did not know if he could make any new discoveries this time.

To Zhuo Bufan, as long as there were new discoveries, it was a good thing. Regardless of whether that thing was good or bad, even if it was bad, it would have its own benefits.

The gate of the territory was about to open, and the other races were probably defending to prevent their territory from being destroyed.

Now that he already knew that the Demon Race had a strong sense of targeting towards the Human Race, Zhuo Bufan hoped that his land would not be harmed at all.

Otherwise, he would have to rebuild it when the time came, although the current situation of the territory had no difference even if it got destroyed.

Along the path, Zhuo Bufan heard the crisp sound of flowing water once again. Compared to the immeasurable dense forest, everything behind the mountain became incomparably clear. Everything there could be seen with the naked eye, there was simply no need to spend too much effort.

And when the Snow Eagle reached the shore, it seemed to have discovered something interesting. It went directly into the water before Zhuo Bufan.

Logically speaking, only a very small number of avian beasts would have some form of swimming ability. However, it seemed like the Snow Eagle could actually float on the water surface without sinking!

This discovery really made Zhuo Bufan somewhat surprised.

“Little guy, how many surprises do you have that I don’t know about?”

However, in the next second, the Snow Eagle sank into the water with a ferocious move. This action gave Zhuo Bufan a huge fright, and he immediately ran to the water’s edge and started shouting. But how could the Snow Eagle understand human language?

Just as Zhuo Bufan thought that the Snow Eagle was about to return to the embrace of heaven, he saw something emerging from the water surface.

After clearly seeing that it was the Snow Eagle, Zhuo Bufan immediately stretched out his hand, grabbing onto it in one go and scooping it up from the water.

Only when he fished it up did he realize that there were actually two fish caught under its claws. Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan also revealed a delighted expression.

After eating wild boars and rabbits, it was finally time for some fish. Furthermore, these two fish were not small and could not be finished in one meal.

“You’re really amazing. You can actually catch fish. If I had known earlier, I would have brought you here from the start. Perhaps I wouldn’t have to eat those awful fruits.”

However, the feathers on the Snow Eagle’s body had already been soaked by the water, and it would not dry anytime soon. It now resembled a drenched chicken.

Zhuo Bufan put the two fish away and then casually rummaged through the surrounding grass, hoping to find something useful again.

However, at this moment, the drenched Snow Eagle walked to his side step by step, using its beak to grab his pants, as though trying to drag him away.

At first, Zhuo Bufan did not care about this. He even lightly patted the Snow Eagle’s head, trying to make it wait patiently.

But this action was replayed several times in succession, making Zhuo Bufan feel that the Snow Eagle was deliberately doing this.

Under the Snow Eagle’s guidance, they came to the water’s edge and saw it jump into the water once again. Zhuo Bufan had a suspicion in his heart when he saw this. Did it discover something below just now?

Having thought about it, Zhuo Bufan did not hesitate at all. He took off the clothes on his body, unhesitatingly jumped into the water.

However, the water was extremely deep, and Zhuo Bufan’s swimming skill was only average. After swimming for a while, he felt a lack of oxygen, and hurriedly changed direction. At the critical juncture, he finally surfaced and obtained fresh air.

After gulping in the much needed oxygen, Zhuo Bufan entered the water again. This time, he was prepared. He managed to dive deeper than previously, allowing him to find something different about the bottom.

But there was no oxygen underwater, and it became Zhuo Bufan’s greatest obstacle to further his progress. If he had a set of underwater equipment at this time, it would not be so difficult.

In the end, Zhuo Bufan had no choice but to return to the shore without discovering anything. He suddenly thought of asking the others, and immediately opened the chat channel.

[Zhuo Bufan: Is there anything strange under the lake at the back mountain?]

[Aika: The water is too cold to go down.]

[Song Chenxing: There is a passage. I went down before. Why?]

Seeing what Song Chenxing said, Zhuo Bufan excitedly slapped his thigh, but he used a little too much strength, leaving a red palm print on the surface of his skin.

[Zhuo Bufan: Big Boss is indeed awesome.. I want to know where this passageway leads to!]
