Chapter 188 Whose Palm Print is This? (2/2)

The two of them continued to dive deeper. They seemed to be unwilling to stop until their goals were achieved. But fortunately, soon afterwards, the warrior had found a glimmer of light in front of them.

This light was prominently visible in the depths of the dark lake. Joshua immediately waved at Moreila to get him over. Then both of them went down to observe the light source. After swimming down a few more dozens of meters, they arrived by the side of the light source.

Under the emanating bright blue radiance, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the bottom of the lake was right in front of them now. However, the two of them had dove down over six hundred meters, which was more than ten times deeper than any other lake that they previously discovered.

It was not hard to find where the light came from. Meanwhile, Joshua had located the source of that bright blue radiance with ease. That was actually a gleaming crystal that was embedded in the sedimentary rock among the sands and dirt. Its core was a cluster of blue vortex that continued to swirl along, unleashing a blue radiance.

It was very highly pure magic crystal!

Clenching his fist out of his excitement, the old dwarf turned his head around and made a gesture at Joshua by relying on the light coming from the crystal, ”There must be more of these crystals around here somewhere.”

The warrior nodded in silence. Then he made his way to locate the remaining magic crystal. As for Moreila, he swam up to the side of that crystal and started to examine further into it.

Both of them were Gold-tier warriors. As long as there was enough energy, their bodies would no longer need any supply of oxygen. It does not matter at all on how long they wanted to stay dived in the water. Hence, they were not feeling any rush at all.

Shortly afterward, Moreila suddenly gasped in shock. Then he reached out his hand and swept away the dirt and sand on top of the crystal. Instantly, the emanating light became brighter. There was another crystal, being revealed to be right before the eyes of the Dwarf.

”An exposed crystal vein? No, this is five or six hundred meters down below the surface of the lake. Generally speaking, crystal veins would normally be located at such depth of a lake. So it was not strange at all to come across one here. However, what exactly is this piece of crystal then?”

Thinking as such in his mind, Moreila reached out his hand and touched the second piece of crystal. He had some thoughts along with some doubts, ”This is not a magic crystal, but it also emits light. The interior of it has a spiral pattern, and it is a special material that has never been seen before. It seems to contain energy as well…”

On the other hand, Joshua who was on the scouting in the surroundings had also noticed the presence of that light. When he swam back, he saw Moreila touching that piece of crystal and he could not help but blink.

Isn't that the Spiral Crystal, a superior reward of the church that Artanis had used before? As a practical item that could convert into three kinds of Holy Light, Joshua remembered it very clearly.

Why is there a Spiral Crystal here? Is it produced in the North?

It was true that there was such a possibility. However, why hasn't anyone seen it before then?

”Joshua.”

Just when he was having questions in his mind, the old dwarf opened his mouth and spoke. With the vibration of the sound wave across the water, he said, ”The energy of the crystal here seems to be blocked by some sort of power. It can only flow out into the surroundings little by little. Based on such pace, it will require a very long time before the crystal can enchant the entire lake with magic energy.”

”No matter how long it will take, there nothing strange about it. The time where the mountains exist has far exceeded the time when our civilization first existed.”

Joshua also opened his mouth and spoke underwater. The two of them started talking to each other underwater now, ”It would still be normal if it takes a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.”

”The mountains may have existed for tens of thousands of years, but this lake is different.” Moreila seemed serious. His golden eyes glanced at the sedimentary rocks next to the crystal. Then he said, ”According to the traces of rocks and dirt here, this lake was only born about a thousand years ago. According to the speed of the leakage here, it is impossible to enchant the entire lake though.”

As he was saying, Moreila then picked off the blue magic crystal from the rock. Half of the crystal remained in the rock though. Meanwhile, the other half of the crystal had been picked off right for the surface of the rock. And now, it was resting right on the hand of the old dwarf. The gleaming radiance instantly got intensified a lot. After it had left the bottom of the rock around here, the energy of that magic crystal began to spill over into the surroundings at a pace significantly faster several times than the pace before.

”Something is wrong with the surrounding environment. I'll go have a look at the situation.”

While Joshua was looking around at the surroundings, he frowned and he did not pay attention to Moreila. Meanwhile, the old dwarf was holding the magic crystals as he was doing various tests on the crystal itself. He then went up over a distance as he also increased the density of his red Combat Aura in his hands.

The sudden high heat vaporized the frosty snow that chilled all the way down the spines. The melted ice that came in contact with the high heat was boiling. Innumerable air bubbles and strong light were seen unleashing from the water, along with a spurting of a strong water current. Under Joshua's fine control, the water and light swept through the water, sweeping away the dirt and mud, illuminating the surroundings, revealing a larger area of the environment underwater.

Meanwhile, the crystals that had been hidden from plain sight seemed to be stimulated. They began to emanate radiances of different colors. This seems to have produced a chain reaction. In only a few seconds later, the entire lake was completely illuminated by those magic crystals. The entire place was gleaming in seven colors of the rainbow, making the entire bottom of the lake look like a spectacular fantasy realm.

”Oh my god…”

Upon seeing that scene, Joshua did not felt awed by that magnificent view that appeared right before him. Instead, he took a deep breath as he was in shock. ”What the hell is this?!”

He looked at the bottom of the lake in astonishment. The shape of the bottom of the entire lake has been clearly highlighted by the light coming from the crystals. That was why the warrior was so surprised about.

The shape of this lake looked actually similar to a fingerprint! A huge, magical crystal-based palm print!

Whose palm print is this?!
