Chapter 81: Finally a Tutorial (23)

The path was more complicated than Chi-Woo had expected They had to turn corners often, and it wasn’t uncommon for new paths to suddenly appear; in such cases, they had to choose which direction to go, and it was truly fortunate that Haas there with hied to choose a place where she heard water running Chi-Woo felt like he andering inside a labyrinth After dozens of minutes, he arrived at an open space that resembled a rotor withthese paths was a unique, tunnel-like passageway Hawa said that she could clearly hear water running from there, and the two of theeas a spacious clearing While it was only dih that they didn’t need a torch

‘Where is the light co fro fro softly, each piece lit up the surroundings like a light bulb, and Chi-Woo’s breath was ical scene

“How a Is this perhaps…” Chi-Woo was about to ask about the stalactites when Hawa’s expression gave him pause Her usually expressionless face isted with shock, and her eyes ide open

“What is it?” Chi-Woo asked, but Hawa didn’t answer; she simply stared at the scene in front of her

‘There isn’t much here’ The area was spacious, but there wasn’t e entrance that headed to who-knohere and a deep pit beside it that stretched outward in all directions like a channel There was nothing inside the pit, and it seemed that there used to be a lake or other body of water there

“Please give me a moment” Hawa finally spoke “Please wait” She carefully distanced herself from Chi-Woo’s side and ran frantically to the place that looked like a channel; as soon as she reached the pit, she kneeled She gathered her hands together and placed the her hands to her lips It was as if she was draater fro a loud shriek, Hawa repeated the sa?’ Chi-Woo looked at Haith confusion No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see a drop of water

“What are you doing? There’s no water Why are you…” Chi-Woo asked, worried that Hawa had gone crazy from her thirst But Hawa tipped her head backward and shtly It was the first time Chi-Woo saw her smile

Hawa placed her hands back into the pit and swung them hard back at Chi-Woo

‘Does she want to pretend play ater or soht, concerned that Hawa’s ressed into that of an infant, but then, Splash!+ Chi-Woo recoiled reflexively

“…” He blinked in astonish his face and liquid dripping down the ends of his hair strands Although he couldn’t see the water, he could clearly feel it

“Huh…Huh…?” Chi-Woo rubbed his face His palms ith invisible water

“What…?” Chi-Woo spluttered

His reaction seean to scoop up water and drink again Chi-Woo crawled towards the area blankly When he edged closer and looked down, he was surprised to see how deep the pit was Inside the pit, he saeeds and corals glowing softly as they swayed, seely to waves he couldn’t see There were also s, and cla with their plump siphons If only water existed, it would have looked like a lake inside a cave But Chi-Woo couldn’t see the water, and anyone who saw this place would have been shocked to see fishes swi in the air

“It’s not that there’s no water,” Hawa said while continuously drinking from her pal this, Chi-Woo reached into the pit and felt his hands sinking into so his hands about, he was hit with a strange sensation He felt much less resistance than he would have from plain water, and this substance felt several-fold fresher and cooler Although he had felt it for himself, Chi-Woo still didn’t think it ater

“It’s not just any water,” Hawa added when she noticed Chi-Woo’s expression ” According to the teachings, this water has several names”

“Names?”

“‘Water of Voices’ because it is said to hear your pleas ‘Water of Prorant wishes ‘Water of Infinite Changes’ because it is said to change depending on the situation” Hawa drank another gulp and added, “Our tribe called it ‘Water of the Gods’”

“Water of the Gods?”

“Yes, it iven us the water, since there’s no way a water can possess so many different powers unless it has been honed by the Gods”

“…It sounds like the water is very precious”

“Yes, this water has been passed down froeneration in our tribe I’ve seen it before, but only once”

“Really? When?”

“It hen I was chosen to be the shaman that will serve Goddess Shahnaz They dropped a droplet of this water into my mouth then”

One droplet for a person’s lifeti it so passionately With his tongue sticking out, Chi-Woo gained a new curiosity and edged his head closer to the pit He felt a substance meet his mouth and was about to suck soood idea”

Chi-Woo turned to Hawa and asked, “Why?”

“Because you’re injured”

“Am I not supposed to drink it in an injured state?”

Hawa tilted her head and shrugged “Well, I guess it’s fine since it won’t kill you”

It sounded like Haas telling hio with it He sed the shapeless substance that he had sucked in with his h! Ahh!” He flopped to the ground and rolled likepain across his body suddenly grew exponentially

“Ah! Kaah!” The dull pain beca for a while, Chi-Woo beca down the corner of his mouth

“How is it?” Hawa asked indifferently “Can you hear it now?”

‘Hear what?’ Chi-Woo was about to ask what the hell she was talking about, but he was shocked into silence by what he was hearing
