After Short Axe and Chris left with Marina and Iqbal, the water in the reservoir continued to rise until it flooded the surrounding passageways.
The passageway they used to enter the reservoir was also filled with water. When Short Axe turned around, he saw that the passageway they used to enter the reservoir was already filled with water.
Fortunately, the passageway was slanted downwards, allowing them to leave safely without being washed away by the water from the reservoir.
They stepped on the shallow water and continued to escape towards the ladder at the entrance of the middle section, leaving without looking back.
The water level of the reservoir rose, the passageway was flooded, there was no place to stand.
After the water level rose to a certain height, it did not rise any further.
The space had become a half-filled water tank. There were various holes on the sides of the tank to drain the water out. However, the water level did not show any signs of dropping. The surrounding drainage ditches and underground river channels did not seem to have any effect on the water level.
The water level calmed down, from time to time, strange fishes with dense fangs jumped up and fell back into the water, creating layers of ripples.
The water level alternated between calm and rippling, until something new emerged, the relative calm of the water level was completely broken.
The thing that emerged from the water was not a huge monster, but compared to the fishes, its size was big enough.
The thing that emerged from the water was Lulunaka, her petite body was facing the sky, facing the water, looking like a drowning corpse.
After she floated up, she did not move, and no creatures in the water approached her.
She looked like she was tired of pretending to be a corpse. Her body flipped over and she vomited into the air. "This water is disgusting. It's even more disgusting than horse piss …" The water she vomited formed a small fountain and splashed everywhere.
After she vomited the water in her stomach, her slightly bulging stomach returned to its flat state.
She lay in the water, looking at the dark space above, after a while, she stretched out her right hand in front of her eyes.
In her hand, there were two green gems, the gems were polygonal in shape, the surface was smooth, but the color was dim, it looked very much like a coarse product.
There seemed to be some glowing things swimming inside the gems, faintly visible.
These two gems were the eyes of the snake bone.
The snake bone did not continue to wrap around Lulunaka, other than the two gems in Lulunaka's hand that were used as eyes, it had already sunk to the deepest part of the reservoir.
"This is interesting, we haven't even reached the deepest part, and we already found the skeleton of the snake guard." Lulunaka squinted, carefully admiring the emerald in her hand.
The color of the gem looked bad, but it was not originally like this. Back then, the eyes of the emerald sparkled, the light was so beautiful that it could steal a person's heart, Mara almost fell for it.
But things like eyes, after they left the body, they had no value.
It was the same for these two gems...
"What a waste …" murmured Lulunaka. murmured.
That being said, the emerald eye was still valuable to her. She could use it as a material or just keep it to reminisce about the past.
Lulunaka forgot the last time she left the underground, but it was not recent. She was afraid that it was a long time ago, so long ago that there was still a country underground.
Lulunaka thought to herself, I'll just treat it as waste, and it's a bit too much to call such beautiful gems trash. That would be letting down the snake guard who had sunk to the bottom of the reservoir.
Lulunaka came to the underground this time, not only to revisit the old place, she had two things to do, but these two things were not so urgent, so she found some fun for herself along the way, and these fun gave her some good experiences.
As for what kind of fun it was, it was naturally following behind Marina and the other young adventurers. To her, even Short Axe, who was the oldest, was just a mature child.
She had a good impression of Short Axe. Even at the last moment, he tried to save the poor girl who was caught by the snake guard, but when he confirmed that it was impossible, he made a prompt decision to abandon Lulunaka and save Mara and Ike, the two newcomers from the surface.
It sounded heartless, but he did save most of the people, and his judgment was correct. It was impossible for the few of them to deal with the snake guard, especially one that had turned into an undead. It was definitely not something that a few Iron-ranked warriors and a little mage could deal with.
Fortunately for Short Axe, Ike and Mara had lost their ability to fight, or else with Mara's impulsiveness at that time, she would definitely die here. As for whether Ike would die here because of love … it was not something that Lulunaka could consider.
In a sense, Short Axe was a very honest person, because he did what he could and fulfilled his responsibilities. It was only because he was unable to deal with a monster like the snake guard that he had to abandon Lulunaka, this unlucky child.
Of course, the reason why he was so conscientious might be because he only received half of the reward. If something happened to Ike or Mara, he would not be able to get the other half.
Lulunaka dared to bet that Short Axe would definitely say that to Ike and Mara.
Mr Slippery was an honest person, he would only say such things.
From the beginning to the end, Lurunaka only had one impression of Chris: he was a loyal companion of Short Axe, so he didn't even bother to talk to him. Whatever Short Axe said was the same as what he said. Whatever Short Axe wanted to do, he would do it.
As for Ike, who risked his life for love, Lulunaka did not have a high opinion of him. Although he was a passionate guy, she was not used to this kind of person. He was too difficult to deal with. God knows how Mara dealt with her own suitors.
Watching the words and actions of these few men was one of her pleasures, and as for the biggest pleasures, it was naturally Mara.
The magic book that Mara had was not her own, it was probably something that was passed down to her by a mage.
And this magic book had some things that Lulunaka was very interested in.
For example, this magic book had a permanent spell that pointed to the depths of the earth, pointing to a place that Lulunaka was very familiar with.
Lulunaka thought that she had met another person who still believed in the rumor that there was a treasure in the depths of the earth.
