Chapter 504 - The Fall of the Water Monster
Chapter 504: The Fall of the Water Monster
Among the people who lived here, there was probably no one who hadn’t heard of the Heaven Lake Water Monster.
It was said that the strength of this water monster had already exceeded one’s imagination. Ordinary people were no match for this monster.
It was no wonder that the Black Lotus Flower, which was protected by the Heaven Lake Water Monster, was so rare.
Klein exhaled lightly and carefully walked across the pontoon bridge.
He knew that the Black Lotus Flower couldn’t be uprooted directly.
Once the roots were separated, the Black Lotus Flower would completely die and wither.
At that time, the medicinal effects would be greatly reduced, or even completely useless.
Klein took out a small water bottle he had prepared beforehand from his treasure bag, dug out the Black Lotus Flower by its roots, and transplanted it into the small water bottle.
This way, it could continue to bloom.
After obtaining the Black Lotus Flower, Klein felt slightly relieved.
But to Klein and Cruise’s surprise, the heavily injured water monster that had fallen to the bottom of the lake broke out of the water once again!
Only then did Klein realize how intense the giant python’s desire for revenge was.
Even if it were to perish together with them, it wouldn’t allow the two fellows in front of it to leave with its treasure!
As for Klein, he happened to be standing on the floating bridge. He was at a loss as to what to do with the threat in front of him.
Cruise widened his eyes. He didn’t expect the situation to turn around like this.
He beckoned Klein to quickly use his cape to leave the water.
But what Cruise didn’t know was that the cape had temporarily lost its effect.
Klein’s current predicament was that he was surrounded by enemies. There was nothing he could do.
Faced with the giant python that was roaring at him, Klein was helpless. He could only bounce up onto the python’s body.
There were scales on the python’s body that caused great friction. He could maintain his balance while standing on it.
Cruise blinked. He didn’t expect Klein to do such a thing.
“Klein, you have to be careful!”
In this situation, there wasn’t much difference if he wasn’t careful.
The gigantic python naturally knew that someone was climbing up its body. Its first reaction was to sway left and right violently.
It attempted to throw the debris off its body.
As for Klein, he could only tightly hold onto the Heaven Lake Water Monster’s scales. He felt that his body was extremely unbalanced and was about to fly out.
With the current situation, once Klein was thrown out by the python…
Even if he didn’t fall into the lake, he would still fall onto the hard ice. He would probably end up with broken bones and tendons.
Klein gritted his teeth and grabbed the Heaven Lake Water Monster’s scales with one hand. With the other hand, he waved the Endless Sword in his hand,
Then, he slashed down, and with a whoosh, it hit the python’s throat!
If the python’s abdomen was only its weakness, then the throat was its Achilles’ heel!
In fact, Klein didn’t plan on directly killing this famous Heaven Lake Water Monster.
But this time, he had no other choice but to protect himself.
The giant python, whose throat had been cut, seemed to feel its life rapidly draining away,
The amplitude of its movements became smaller and smaller, and the howls became quieter and quieter,
It seemed to have the intention of dying together, and it actually brought Klein’s entire body into the water.
With a plop, the Heaven Lake Water Monster and Klein both fell into the lake.
Cruise’s eyes widened in shock as he watched the scene in front of him with his mouth agape.
He didn’t seem to believe that someone as powerful as Klein would die together with the Heaven Lake Water Monster.
There was still a chance of survival for the few pieces of ice that had fallen to the ground, but now, Klein was unable to save himself.
Cruise shouted and rushed to the lakeside.
When he saw the lake water that was still churning, it gradually calmed down, and he revealed a sorrowful and anxious expression.
“Klein, can you hear me?”
Although he subconsciously shouted, Cruise knew that there was no hope of survival if he fell into such cold lake water.
He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat, and even his eyes were red.
Although Cruise and Klein hadn’t been together for long, they had developed a very deep revolutionary friendship.
Seeing his companion disappear into the lake, Cruise still found it unacceptable.
He plopped down on the ice and didn’t recover for a long time.
At that moment, a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, followed by bubbles.
There was movement under the water, and soon after, a figure emerged from the water.
With a splash, his upper body was revealed. It was Klein, who had disappeared for a long time!
Cruise widened his eyes and looked at the surface of the water in disbelief.
He rubbed his eyes again, afraid that he had seen wrongly.
“Klein, you… Why did you come up again? You?”
It was naturally Klein who came out of the water. He wiped his hair and the water stains on his face.
“What, are you still hoping that I’ll perish together with that fellow and never come up again?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m just a little surprised…”
Klein’s swimming ability was quite good. With a beautiful flip, he arrived at the shore.
Although he was drenched and looked a little disheveled, his movements out of the water could be considered quite handsome,
“I know what you’re surprised about. Anyone who falls into such cold lake water will be frozen into hail. Why did I come up unscathed?”
Cruise gulped and revealed a nervous expression as he nodded.
Klein sighed softly and took out the items in his backpack to count them.
“Sigh, the moment I fell, I thought I was done for, but the turn of events was beyond my expectations…”
The moment Klein fell, he didn’t feel a bone-chilling chill. He didn’t even feel the slightest bit of coldness.
He felt that the temperature of the lake was definitely within his range of contact. It was even somewhat warm.
Back then, Klein had wondered if he was hallucinating from the excessive coldness,
However, he discovered that his body could still move freely without any restrictions.
Clearly, he wasn’t hallucinating.
At that moment, Klein discovered that the body of the dead Heaven Lake Water Monster was slowly decomposing.
After decomposing, it formed many precious materials.
Including the python’s scales and its pair of eyes, they were all stored in Klein’s treasure bag.
He didn’t expect to reap such a bountiful harvest this time. Not only did he obtain the legendary Black Lotus Flower, he also obtained so many materials!
‘Up until I reached the upper reaches, I still had such doubts and guesses, but later on, I figured it out…’
It turned out that the person who saved Klein’s life was the gigantic monster he had encountered when he entered the mysterious space.
‘Just now, I killed a monster, and the monster’s blood sprayed onto my body. At that time, I felt unbearable heat, as if my entire body had been burned by fire.’
This feeling gradually subsided. Klein took a bath and washed all the blood from his body.
