Chapter 162 (1/2)

“Let’s just hurry up a little bit. Go down further, Mu.” Kyle instructed.

At his words, the young dragon vigorously stirred its tail and propelled forward. Even though Noah had no longer problems with breathing, her heart began to pound stronger as they neared towards the lake bed. It seemed to be the psychological pressure that she felt when she was thrown into the deep waters.

“Wait, Mu.”

However, she was the only one who felt that way. Beside her, Kyle looked completely unnerved. He kept his eyes fixed on only one thing without showing any hint of admiration at the surrounding scenery.

“That way,” pointed Kyle.

As Noah followed Kyle’s gaze and looked down, she saw a red string tied between the pointed coral. A long line of ribbons at the bottom of the lake stood out from afar; it was like a milestone to give directions.

Muell immediately began to advance forward in the direction of the ribbons, and the workshop at the top had shrunk into a dot. Noah could see the end of the string of red ribbons which were tangled in corals. Far away, a round black hole emerged over the surface of the water.

“Is it there?” Kyle squinted his eyes and measured the size of the entrance. “I don’t think Mu can get through.”

Even with their own estimate, it seemed difficult for the humongous dragon to push its head in, let alone pass. But this time, Noah succeeded in predicting what Kyle was thinking.

This guy, obviously… As soon as she thought of it, Noah jumped over Muell’s back and got up. Suddenly, a very playful and daring impulse arose within her.

“Mu, the…”

“Mu, get rid of the barrier!”

Noah succeeded to be one step ahead of Kyle. At the same moment he looked back at her with astonished eyes, Noah took a breath as deep as she could. Then, in a blink, the barrier vanished.

The water poured in at once, drenching their bodies. The pressure wasn’t strong since they were already approaching the surface of the lake. Noah flapped her arms, and her body began to rise rapidly. Soon, she reached the surface. She gasped for air, brushing away the wet strands of her hair that stuck to her face. Then, she bobbed her head sideways to drain the water from her ears.

“You can’t do that, Miss Noah!” Kyle shook the water off his hair, glancing at her with an angry look. But Noah only shrugged her shoulders and slowly swam away from him.
