Chapter 498: The Mystery of Shallows
The moonlight sprinkled on the sea, making the waves sparkle. Lin Ye'er stood on the Japanese shoal, staring ahead.
He raised his hand slightly, and a ball of dark light gathered in his palm. This was his most proud skill - [Dark Erosion].
The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but Lin Ye'er's eyes were full of vigilance, as if she was waiting for something.
Lin Ye'er took a deep breath, and the black light trembled slightly in his palm.
Accompanied by a low roar, it seemed as if some power was stirring.
He looked up at the night sky, his eyes flashing with determination and caution.
At this moment, a cold gaze suddenly descended, as if a deadly beast was lurking in the dark.
Lin Ye'er's body trembled violently, and every hair on her body stood up. It was an indescribable fear, as if she could be torn apart at any time.
"Damn, what the hell is this thing!"
Lin Ye'er cursed inwardly and dispelled the darkness in her palm without hesitation. The black light disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.
He looked around, trying to find the source of that gaze, but there was still deathly silence around him, with only the sound of waves lapping against the shore.
The gaze did not seem to leave, but instead lingered in the area, as if investigating something.
Lin Ye'er's heartbeat quickened, and every breath seemed particularly heavy.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the gaze searched longer than last time, as if it was doubting the breath just now.
There was a suffocating tension in the air, and Lin Ye'er's palms were slightly sweaty.
His toes unconsciously drew circles in the sand, trying to divert his attention.
But he knew that this was only a temporary relief and the real crisis was far from over.
Just when Lin Ye'er was about to collapse, that gaze suddenly stopped, as if observing his every move.
Lin Ye'er held his breath, his heart beating like a drum. He slowly raised his hand again, and the dark light condensed in his palm again.
"Who the hell are you to spy on me in this shallow area?"
Although Lin Ye'er's voice trembled slightly, her tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.
He clenched his fists, and a black light blossomed in his palms like an evil flower.
At this moment, that gaze suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But Lin Ye'er remained alert. He took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a firm gaze, as if waiting for something.
"This time, I will never let you escape again..." Lin Ye'er whispered, her voice echoing in the night sky, full of firmness and determination.
Two minutes later, the creepy feeling of voyeurism finally disappeared.
Lin Ye'er breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the clothes on her back were soaked.
"Huh, he finally left... Dad was scared to death!" He muttered in a low voice, as if he was both relieved and complaining.
It feels like playing a horror game and being targeted by a boss hiding in the dark, which sends chills down your spine.
He rubbed his arms, trying to dispel the remaining fear.
Lin Ye'er's gaze once again turned to the deep sea, her expression thoughtful.
"Could this thing be related to the Forbidden Ruins?" He touched his chin and a bold guess arose in his mind.
The Forbidden Ruins, this mysterious existence, has always been the target of exploration for the God Slayers, and also the source of danger.
In order to verify her idea, Lin Ye'er decided to try again.
He carefully controlled the forbidden power in his body, causing a slight fluctuation.
Just like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, it creates ripples.
Sure enough, that familiar cold gaze appeared again, locking onto him like a maggot on his tarsal bone.
"Fuck, it's true!" Lin Ye'er cursed in his heart. This time he felt it more clearly.
That look was full of inquiry and greed, as if he was looking at a precious prey.
Lin Ye'er frowned, feeling a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.
If the fluctuations in the forbidden ruins would attract unknown prying eyes, his situation would be dangerous.
"If I can't use the power of the Forbidden Ruins, I'm no different from a stronger ordinary person!"
He scratched his hair hard, feeling that things were getting tricky.
In this world full of dangers, if you don't have any strength to support you, you are like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"We have to think of a way..." Lin Ye'er's eyes swept around and finally landed on a pile of rotten wood washed ashore by the sea not far away.
He walked over to the pile of wood, picked up a blackened stick, and began to scribble on the ground.
"Directional summoning... maybe..." He muttered to himself, and the wooden stick in his hand drew a strange pattern on the ground...
Lin Ye'er squatted on the beach, holding a burnt stick in her hand.
Like a kindergarten kid's graffiti, he drew a crooked pattern on the ground.
This is not an ordinary graffiti, but a "directional summoning" magic circle that he tore off from the remaining pages of an ancient book.
It is said that this is a secret technique used by ancient powerful people to avoid natural enemies. I don’t know if it works, but we might as well give it a try.
As he drew, he muttered, "If this thing doesn't work, I'll eat this crappy book!"
After finishing the painting, he checked it carefully again to make sure there were no omissions or mistakes, then nodded with satisfaction.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye'er slowly injected her mental power into the magic circle.
The magic circle lit up slightly, and the light flickered a few times like a cell phone charging.
At this moment, that creepy cold gaze came again!
This time, in addition to inquiry and greed, there was also a hint of anger in that look, as if saying, "You little brat, you think you can get away?"
Lin Ye'er suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she almost fell flat on her face.
He tried hard to hold himself back from falling. The cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Time passed minute by minute, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, like a radar scan, carefully searching every corner.
Five minutes passed, and the gaze still didn't leave. Lin Ye'er felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her breathing became rapid.
Finally, after nearly five and a half minutes of agony, the suffocating feeling of being watched finally disappeared.
Lin Ye'er sat down on the ground like a deflated ball, gasping for breath.
"Damn, this thing is scarier than Sadako!" He wiped the cold sweat from his face and muttered with lingering fear.
Although this directional summoning magic circle can avoid the perception of the mysterious existence, every time it is used it feels like walking through the gates of hell. Who can withstand it!
"Forget it, let's not do anything stupid..." Lin Ye'er shook her head and decided not to try again.
He stood up tremblingly, brushed off the sand on his body, and his eyes fell on the center of the magic circle...
"Huh? What is this?" He walked towards the magic circle in confusion.
Lin Ye'er ran happily to the center of the magic circle, her eyes lighting up as if she had discovered a treasure.
"What the hell! What is this?" He bent down and picked up something. It felt cold and heavy to the touch.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a long knife!
The blade is snow-white and shines coldly, and the handle is engraved with complex patterns. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary item.
"Zhan Bai?!" Lin Ye'er exclaimed, this is the artifact he has always dreamed of!
Thinking back, he almost lost his pants for this thing.
Now it appeared in front of him like a pie falling from the sky. Happiness came so suddenly that he was a little caught off guard.
He carefully grasped the hilt of the knife, feeling the cold touch of the blade, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Hehe, now I'm rich!" He grinned and swung the blade a few times. With a few "swish" sounds, the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
"This feeling is amazing!" Lin Ye'er rubbed her hands excitedly, feeling full of strength.
With this sword, he straightened his back and walked with confidence.
He tried to chop a nearby reef with his knife, and with a "click", the reef cracked, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
"Awesome!" Lin Ye'er couldn't help but swear. This power was even stronger than he had imagined!
He seemed to have seen himself holding the Zanbai sword, killing everyone and becoming a legend.
"With this thing, I'm not afraid of anything!" Lin Ye'er snorted proudly, feeling that she was invincible.
It suddenly occurred to him that the directional summoning magic circle could not only summon items, but also summon caregivers.
Although there is still some time before the next summoning, at least there is a trump card to save my life.
"Next, I need to find a sword bag to put this treasure in." Lin Ye'er touched his chin and began to think.
This Zhanbai is a good thing, but you can't show it to others casually. If someone spots it, it will be troublesome.
"Let's go into town." He made up his mind and turned to leave.
But after just two steps, he stopped again, slapped his forehead, and said in frustration: "Fuck, I have no money!"
He felt his pockets; they were empty, not even a coin.
In this unfamiliar place, it’s impossible to move forward without money!
Thinking of this, Lin Ye'er couldn't help but sigh, with a worried look on her face.
"Do you want me to perform? Break rocks with my chest? No, no, that's too cheap..." Lin Ye'er pondered and racked her brains to find a solution.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, got it!" He walked quickly to the beach and picked up a stone...
"My dear brother, I see that your forehead is black, and you might have a bloody disaster!" Lin Ye'er stopped a passerby and said mysteriously.
