Chapter 159 – Trapped In a Hopeless Situation (1)

Ning Xuemo did not dare to take that risk again. She had no other alternative but to readjust her course to her original one toward the direction of the life gate.Original and most updated translations are from volaretranslations.

And just as she turned back, the swift water currents around her immediately settled down as the waves disappeared, and the water once again returned to being as calm as the surface of a mirror.

She became speechless. Could it be that it was her imagination just now?

But she had clearly felt the whirlpools’ huge suction force; it didn’t seem fake.

She once again tried another direction. Every single attempt ended in her encountering some sort of danger.

For example, when she swam toward the south, she met a giant magic beast. Its appearance was similar to a certain legendary water monster. It suddenly emerged from the water, causing her to almost swim into its wide open mouth!

At first she tried telling herself it was just an illusion, and there was no need to pay attention to it. It was only when the water monster’s tail whipped her waist and almost caused it to fracture that she believed it was real!

Fortunately, she swam quickly so it was only a light brush or else she probably would have broken into two!

Seeing that things were not looking good, she could only retreat back. The water monster vanished without a trace as she withdrew.

And the other directions weren’t much better either.

One caused an erupting volcano to appear before her. Under the threat of being smashed by the shower of magma, if she didn’t dodge fast enough, she would have probably been burnt into a crisp…

When she swam to another direction, a layer of sparse mud like a quagmire appeared which wouldn’t allow even a goose feather to float on the surface.

Ning Xuemo believed that as long as she leapt in, she would never be able to emerge.

All eight directions had been tested. Besides the calm and ordinariness of the life gate she had gone to first, the other directions were all roads to death.

Ning Xuemo saw that the distance to the shore wasn’t far, yet she couldn’t reach it no matter how much she swam causing her heart to turn cold.
