Chapter 53 Two Birds with One Stone
Two hours had passed since Daniel had rescued Heiart and Paule's tea near the shore, observing the water's slow movement
”If it's not corrosion what do you think it is?” Heiirl
Since the night she had accoirl had become more talkative She would still only talk when consulted, and would keep her phrases brief and concise, but at least she wouldn't keep quiet
”I saw movement in the water” She responded with a peaceful tone
After a , Heimart looked at Daniel and asked hiet us all there?”
Daniel didn't respond, as he wasn't sure Instead, he approached the water and decided to try so His feet were slowly immersed into the water, as he closed his eyes for athe next h movement, then waves started to appear on the surface of the water What was strange, was that these waves went in two opposite direction They see away from one another
After aonly after a twentycrack had been formed Between the two sides, a clear path at the bottom of the lake had been made
The feat that Daniel had just perfore toll on his accumulated spiritual essence Nonetheless, he was still able to h the use of 'Time is Precious', which was able to speed up the conversion of ki into spiritual essence
”Woah That's iart He then walked into the crack in the water, and started to ad walls
Every cultivator present on the scene, looked up in astonishst the kingdoeniuses Some even prided themselves to be part of them But for someone under twenty-five years, to reach such a coination
Water was a difficult essence to comprehend, and its use could barely be considered adequate when put into the perspective of a battle
Most spiritual cultivators focused , defensive essences like earth and metal, and essence that could increase their mobility, like wind
While the few spiritual cultivators who had decided to comprehend water's essence, where those who inhabited port cities, often traveled through sea, or that wanted to ree, that it would allow them to create ice
Ice was still considered water, as it didn't require the combination of two essences like lava did, and yet, it was still considered one of the best offensive and defensive eleain co ice required an ah comprehension of water essence
Daniel himself, with a comprehension two hundred times faster than that of a nor to reach the level of comprehension he was at
Not to h quality samples of essence he had had access to, whichwater essence, hundreds of ti it from a simple body of water, like a lake or a sea
Daniel had only known another young cultivator as able to use Ice ic, and that was Yala He wasn't aware of how coic was at first, but before he could understand it, he had found out that his spiritual teacher, the old alcherandfather
It wasn't strange for her to be able to use it, as she had probably practiced for years, with the help of powerful essence spheres such as the one Daniel had practiced for 5 hours with
The sheer nue
Even considering the few of them who had been accompanied into the lake by spiritual cultivators, or those who had ed to find the help of one afterwards The nu solitary cultivators and parties, was still in the thousands
With a loud voice, Daniel said ”Let's check out the water If soerous hides within, we can rush back” He wanted to make sure nobody would atteerous happened, he didn't want to have to take care about soroup of eleven entered the rift in the water, and started to observe the walls carefully Unfortunately, the water was too h
After half an hour of pointless observation, Daniel thought of so He turned towards Heiain in what state did you find the corpse in?”
”No blood Every bit of tissue had been consumed Only bones and clothes reh
Suddenly, a small knife appeared in Daniel's hand It was one of his throwing knives
Daniel stabbed the extreertip, then, just as a single drop of blood came out of his hand, the water became darker, and it started to bend out of his control ”OUT OF THE WATER! NOW!!” Shouted the alarroup didn't stop to think, and instead, started to run towards the shore
Daniel was only able to create a passage about twentyout What shocked them, was that the bent part of the water followed theot out of the water
Once outside, Daniel gave up on the control over the talls, which immediately shut close, and instead extracted a small ball of the murky water, and made it fly towards him
Under everybody's eyes, Daniel started to slowly remove the water bit by bit, until only a pearl-like amount remained He then moved the pearl between his eye and the sun, and looked into it
What Daniel saw inside this s in the small bead of water
One side of the bead was still bent towards Daniel, as if the worh the water and assault Daniel's bleeding finger
To confirertip around the bead, and as expected, the worms followed
”I knohat those are!” Said someone within the crowd ”Those are Sharp-nosed Leeches But they should not be that sirl who had just talked, and asked her ”What do you know about these things?”
The girl immediately answered ”They are voracious creatures They smell blood in the water fro it out of the water, if nearby Once found a prey, they not only eat the blood in the water, but they also devour their bodies”
