Chapter 302 - Black Wind Wreaks Havoc (2/2)
———
Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, as Miss Tienan started to show her talent in beast card cultivation, and the male students becoming more aware of her beauty, more and more people wanted to snatch his girlfriend away from him.
At this moment, his expression was dark and sunken. Looking at the water flowing out from the hole, his heart nearly turned to ash.
If these islands were really floating above the water, how was he supposed to continue digging down?
Could it be that he was trapped in this dimension just like that, waiting for his death?
Zhang Che was unwilling to succumb to such a fate. He walked over to the edge of the hole, looking at the overflowing water with squinting eyes.
-Not right. If this island is really floating above the sea, how can the sea water possibly flow out from the hole? I am standing at a position much higher than the sea level!-
Therefore, he squatted down and smeared his finger with the water and brought it up to the tip of his tongue, tasting it. The expression on his face immediately relaxed.
The water had a clear, refreshing taste, unlike the faint fishy smell of sea water.
-This is not sea water!-
This was the underground water of this island! Due to the Purple Crystal Tortoise digging through the rock strata, the water came flowing up from the pressure.
Zhang Che immediately felt much more at ease.
Right, if these islands were really floating above the sea, how could they possibly remain in place, not moving at all?
That wasn’t scientific at all… well, okay, these were strange ruins in any case, not something that could be explained with science.
But, even so, it would be very troublesome going forward.
If there was an abundance of fresh water underground, it was unavoidable that the Purple Crystal Tortoise would cause a large amount of water to flow into the hole.
Naturally, the Purple Crystal Tortoise wouldn’t be too affected by it, but it was different for Zhang Che!
After all, he didn’t have the ability to hold his breath underwater for a long period of time. Even if they managed to dig to the bottom in the end, and found the light membrane whose existence in this dimension was only a mere possibility, Zhang Che wouldn’t have enough time to reach the bottom before drowning.
“This island isn’t big enough, after all,” Zhang Che sighed. Afterwards, he thought of those bald rocky islands, thinking those islands shouldn’t have underground water.
Regrettably, it was still day time. Obviously it was impossible for him to scout out those islands for now.
Heavens knew how many of those enormous sea beasts were in the sea. If there were even stronger creatures in there, it was impossible for his subdued beasts and pets to put up any resistance.
Fortunately, it was already starting to get late. Zhang Che decided to wait patiently on the island.
The light provided from the “star scape” over his head gradually dimmed. Darkness slowly encroached on the lands.
In the end, when the embedded crystals on the rock strata over his head had fully dimmed, night finally arrived.
At this moment, Zhang Che suddenly saw a strange black wind blowing in the air above the sea. “Could it be that what the devilish face said was true?”
Zhang Che rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and quickly flew to the edge to the island. He focused his gaze, looking out. The strange black wind avoided the islands, enveloping the skies above the sea, almost pressing down on the sea surface, leaving only a few-dozen-meters gap.
