Splash!
The quiet but very real sound approached bit by bit. Even someone without cultivation like Alex could hear it, let alone Maximilia.
Nervous, the muscles in favonovel.com body tensed as favonovel.com held a curved flying dagger in favonovel.com hand… Of course, favonovel.com was currently naked. She had fished out the flying dagger from favonovel.com clothes.
Alex moved. Just as favonovel.com was about to speak, his mouth was covered by a pretty hand.
Maximilia wrote, “Don’t make a sound” on his stomach with favonovel.com finger.
Clearly, favonovel.com had long discovered something lurking in the water.
Alex did not dare to speak, but favonovel.com pricked up his ears. The sound in the water was getting louder and closer as if it. was within a few meters from them.
At that moment, Alex sensed that Maximilia shot out the flying dagger in favonovel.com hand with an abrupt jerk, followed by a loud explosion with a huge spark at Alex’s eight o’clock.
In the faint light, something was visible in the pitch-black cave.
Maximilia saw a passage located not far from them.
At the same time, the monster crawling in the water rushed over in the direction of the sound after hearing the loud commotion.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Three consecutive loud splashes could be heard, indicating there were at least three monsters.
Maximilia picked Alex with one hand and grabbed both their clothes before sneaking toward the passage. Unexpectedly, the passage turned out to be a dead end. There was no way ahead.
“It’s a dead-end!” Maximilia frowned as favonovel.com touched cold stones with both hands. It was still pitch black, and their eyes were no better than decorations.
Alex calculated the direction they came from in his mind. He compared the terrain to what favonovel.com saw above earlier.
“It doesn’t make sense,” favonovel.com whispered. “This place should correspond to life’s gate. Could it be there’s something like a trapdoor? Let me touch it!”
He reached out to touch the stone wall and felt a smooth, soft and warm area.
‘What is that?’
As soon as favonovel.com identified it, favonovel.com was astonished to find favonovel.com was touching Maximilia’s chest. He then hurriedly retracted his hand and apologized in a low voice, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.”
Maximilia intended to beat favonovel.com up, but favonovel.com held back. If favonovel.com made a sound, favonovel.com would attract those three monsters and end up in deep trouble.
“Hurry!” Maximilia growled hoarsely.
Alex nodded. He identified where Maximilia was standing from the voice, and favonovel.com reached out to touch the other side. Shortly afterward, favonovel.com felt something, ancient runes. As expected, there was a mystery here. However, ancient runes had always been a complicated subject, with many of them looking extremely similar. Touching them blindly with their hands would yield an inaccurate result. Alex touched all of them, but eventually, favonovel.com helplessly said, “It doesn’t work. The spell formation in this place was set up using ancient runes. I can’t open the door if I can’t see them.”
Maximilia nodded. “Alright. Wait a moment!”
Alex could hear the rustling of favonovel.com clothes as favonovel.com put them on… He instantly recalled the scene where they both were hugging each other naked earlier. For a moment, a whim struck him, and favonovel.com became impulsive. But soon, favonovel.com kept telling himself that favonovel.com was Jade, favonovel.com was Jade…
Maxmilia wore favonovel.com clothes at a breakneck speed, dressed completely within one minute. Currently, favonovel.com was touching the two daggers in favonovel.com hand. “I’ll rub the two daggers to create sparks. You will seize the chance to look at the runes on the wall, but this will definitely attract the monsters. You should concentrate on breaking the formation. Leave the monsters to me.”
“Alright. Be careful,” Alex said.
Clank!
Clank!
There were sounds of grating followed by a massive splash of sparks.
