Chapter 158 - The Blood Crystal Coffin at the Bottom of the Lake!
Chapter 158: The Blood Crystal Coffin at the Bottom of the Lake!
At this moment, Mora had completely recovered, and there was some thick armor on its body. It seemed to have absorbed the defense advantage of the Two-Headed Crocodile Dragon, preserving the power in its flesh.
“Friend, let’s go.”
The one-eyed snake twisted its body that was more than a hundred meters long and coiled its tail on the ground, “The crystal coffin is in a cave at the bottom of the lake. I’ll bring you there, but the bottom of the Lake of Death is very dangerous. You must not use the power of light, or else you will be attacked by countless monsters.”
“Okay.”
Lorne put all his pets into the pet space and walked from the tail to the top of its head.
It just so happened that the giant snake had some horns on its head that could stabilize his body. Lorne stood up.
The next moment, Mora shot into the sky. Its huge body, more than a hundred meters tall, shot into the sky and plunged into the Lake of Death.
It was so fast that Lorne feared he would be thrown off.
Fortunately, Mora released a stream of energy that formed a barrier around Lorne to protect him.
As for the scene under the Lake of Death?
There was only one way to describe it—Dark!
There was extreme darkness!
As Mora went deeper, Lorne could no longer see any light.
This place was like the deep sea ten thousand meters below. There was no light or sound. There was only endless silence.
Fortunately, this experience was not long.
Mora dived very quickly. In about ten minutes, the two reached their destination.
Lorne finally saw the light.
In front of him was a huge mountain at the bottom of the lake. In the middle, there was a huge cave. Like the dragon’s nest, the walls of the cave were inlaid with some glowing gems, showing the cave to Lorne.
Mora led him inside.
This cave was very large. Even if Mora’s head was like a small house, it could walk inside without obstruction.
However, the cave at the bottom of the lake was very deep, like an endless maze. Mora kept traveling at a very fast speed, but it still took more than ten minutes to reach the final destination.
“Friend, we’re here.”
Mora’s huge head popped out of the water as it said, “This limestone cave is in the center of the mountain. The space is very large, but the way in is too difficult to find. If not for the mark I left, it would have taken several hours to find this place.”
“I didn’t expect the bottom of the lake to be so different.”
Lorne continued to stand above Mora, his eyes studying his surroundings.
Who would have thought that there was such a magical scene in the depths of the dark Lake of Death?
This cave was even larger than the cave of “Walter”, and it was also surrounded by gems.
“There are countless such scenes in the Lake of Death. There are still people from your Human Empire who are coveting our territory. If not for Lord Dragon Turtle staying here, the Lake of Death might have been drained dry by you humans.”
Mora had a poor impression of humans. If Lorne had not saved its life, it would not have come so close to the human and let him stand on its head.
Hearing this, Lorne digested the information he had.
The important figure called Dragon Turtle should be the long-living terrifying existence that Walter had mentioned.
In addition, there were many places in the Lake of Death that hid treasures, but the relationship with the Human Empire was very poor.
From the looks of it, the Lake of Death should be a special force. Although it was in the territory of Iron Skull City, it was not under their jurisdiction.
…
“That’s the treasure we’re fighting for!”
As he pondered, Mora led him to the core of the cave.
Lorne looked up and was shocked.
In the center of the huge cave ahead, there was an incomparably scarlet-red crystal coffin. It floated in the center of the cave, and there were eight totem stone pillars at the edge. Eight black iron chains were born on them, pulling the red crystal coffin forward.
Although Lorne did not know what was inside the crystal coffin, as long as he saw the scene before him, he would know that he had encountered something incredible.
“Mora, are you sure this is a treasure?”
Lorne felt the surrounding atmosphere was strange. The thing in the crystal coffin was probably not good.
“Don’t worry, my friend. This crystal coffin looks terrifying, but it’s nothing dangerous. Even if I attack it, it will not react.”
From this, it could be seen that this guy had long discovered this place and had tried many methods to open the crystal coffin.
But from the looks of it, it should have failed.
“What should we do now?”
Lorne could not tell what was happening. Other than feeling strange, he did not obtain any clues.
“If you cultivate here and absorb the red energy emitted by the crystal coffin, it can speed up your cultivation.”
“For this, you fought the Two-Headed Crocodile Dragon to the death?”
Lorne looked at it, speechless.
“Yes, because the space here is limited, we can’t cultivate together. Moreover, the energy released from the crystal coffin is limited, so we can’t both absorb it at the same time.”
Eh?
No wonder this guy agreed so readily!
Lorne was speechless. He regretted it now. If he had known this would happen, he would have killed this guy as well. That way, he could have gained a few million experience points.
“Friend, I’m going to cultivate. If you don’t want to stay, I can send you out.”
Mora smiled.
“Have you really used any methods against that crystal coffin?”
Lorne looked up at the crystal coffin floating in the air. He did not believe this treacherous snake.
“Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and test it. No matter what you do, I won’t object.”
Mora coiled up its hundred-meter-long body, then lay its head on its body and faced the crystal coffin, closing its huge vertical eyes.
Go ahead and test it?
That was what Lorne was thinking.
In any case, the path of cultivation was useless to him as a player.
In that case, he could only hope to open the crystal coffin and obtain the treasures hidden inside.
However, it would probably take some effort to do this. After all, that guy, Mora, had studied it for so long. Even it could not even move this crystal coffin, so it was impossible for him to open it with brute force.
