Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Nuzak's steps were light and steady, showing no sign of fatigue. Bubulu and the others even had to jog for a while to catch up with him.

Everyone followed Nuzak to a small boat, and at Nuzak's signal, they boarded the boat one by one.

The boat rocked slowly, as if Nuzak was recalling his glorious past.

"arrive."

Nuzak sent them to an inexplicable area of deep black water and then drove away in the boat.

"I hope you can reach the fourth labyrinth alive."

Nuzak's last words were still echoing in everyone's ears. They looked at the tide that had reached above their thighs and felt a little helpless.

"and many more……"

At this moment, Selina suddenly felt something, and then she spun out a monster card from her fingertips and summoned a water elf.

Because Selina and the water elf are in tune with each other, she can feel what the water elf wants to say.

She placed the water spirit against her forehead, and then seemed to be communicating with it mentally. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Everyone, good news! The water spirit said it heard a call. It can lead us to the middle area!"

"But we don't have a boat, and we can't float..."

Mr. Brownson didn't quite believe that the water elves could take them to the mysterious depths.

As if sensing Mr. Bronson's doubts, Selina smiled and said, "The water sprite is a water elemental monster. Water only makes its power stronger! After arriving in the saltwater zone, I felt that the water sprite has become stronger! With its help, we can reach the middle level!"

After saying this, she gently lifted up the water spirit. The water spirit blew out a few bubbles that covered everyone, and several bubbles the size of a person appeared on everyone's body. With the help of these bubbles, they could dive.

That’s right, if they want to move forward, they can only rely on diving.

"Wow, big sister, you are so handsome!" Bubulu was covered in bubbles, even his coffin was covered.

But upon closer inspection, Selina seemed to be in a bad condition. The pattern on her arm seemed to have deepened.

Without time to ponder, Selina released the water spirit. Without any guidance, the water spirit silently dived into the deep water. Seeing this, everyone knew the water spirit must have its own ideas, so they followed it and dived down.

.

The deeper they went, the greater the pressure they were under. Fortunately, the water spirit's bubbles protected them from being torn apart on the spot.

With no time to appreciate the beauty of the deep sea, everyone held on to the limited air and began to pray that they could breathe a little longer.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a large area of ruins suddenly appeared before our eyes. It looked like a very glorious civilization had once existed here.

"The water elf has made a discovery!"

Selina swam in front, and the deeper she went, the more uneasy she felt.

Why is this happening? Who is calling the water spirit?

With such doubts, Selina saw a huge one-eyed monster hiding deep in the ruins.

"You are……?"

Everyone was startled as they looked at the gigantic monster. It looked so much like a water sprite—it was practically a grown-up water sprite! Both possessed a unique charm, as gentle as water.

"My name is Pure Water Spirit," its voice was so hollow that it seemed to reach people's ears. "I have been waiting here for liberation."

"Pure Water Spirit? Are you calling me?"

Selina approached the pure water spirit, trying to pass through it. "I need to go to the deep area of the salt water zone to find the Pirate King's secret treasure. Can you let us pass?"

"No."

The Pure Water Spirit said, "You have no power, and you will only die in vain."

The voice of the Pure Water Elf is very soft, but it inexplicably gives people a strong sense of oppression, making it impossible to refute it.

Jiaozi was afraid that Selina might do something stupid due to her bad temper, so she stepped forward and changed the subject.

"Pure Water Spirit, you said you have been staying here all the time. What was this place like before? What happened?"

"This is called Atlantis. In ancient times, it was the home of mermen and mermaids."

what?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Hadn't mermaids and merpeople always lived on Earth alongside humans, only later moving to the Dragon Palace? When had they ever been to Atlantis?

"Later, Atlantis, once a glorious civilization, was reduced to ruins by an irreversible disaster. The few remaining people were forced to leave their homeland and go to Earth. As time passed, they forgot about their history in Atlantis."

The pure water spirit seemed to be talking about something that happened not long ago. "Then the sea collapsed and the mountains shifted, and this place became what you call the saltwater belt. I was the only one who kept waiting. I believe that there are people who have never forgotten their homeland, especially my flesh and blood."

The pure water spirit looked at the water spirit lovingly. At that moment, Selina suddenly felt no connection between herself and the water spirit.

"I've been wanting to ask this for a long time,"

Di Qi said coldly, "The water spirit came here after receiving your call, right? What is your relationship with it?"

"It's my flesh and blood, a part of me."

The Pure Water Spirit's answer surprised everyone. "When all the water spirits come together, they become the Pure Water Spirit. When a Pure Water Spirit disintegrates, it will split into countless water spirits. We all share a common consciousness, which is to return to our original bodies. This calling can be fulfilled without any reason."

Selina felt terrified when she thought that the water elves had a collective consciousness like a swarm of bees.

Everyone shares a world of consciousness... Apart from fighting against the invasion from other worlds, there is no way to reintegrate the already divided collective.

"You bullshit!"

Selina blushed. "The Water Spirit is my precious companion, a monster I summoned from the Chaos Tree at the end of time and space! How could it possibly be one with you?"

"...Hmm, do you think so? Very interesting. I wonder if your understanding of monster theory is too shallow, or if someone is deliberately interfering with your understanding... Never mind, just like humans, monsters have their own ways of survival. Before becoming partners with you, they too had their own lives."

Hearing this, Bubulu couldn't help but look at his coffin.

What would such a stupid monster like Sibu Xiang do before responding to my call and coming to Blue Star?

The same question appeared in the minds of others, but before they could figure it out, the Pure Water Elf continued to speak.

"Since you wish to reach deeper into the saltwater zone, why not accept my test? If you complete it, I will guide you to the deeper depths. If you fail..."

"bring it on."

Selina said fearlessly, "Pure Water Spirit, I am willing to accept your test. Whatever you want to do, just come at me!"

"very good……"

The pure water elf slowly floated up, accompanied by countless tiny particles. Are those the water elements that are constantly flowing towards it?

"Since you trust your partner so much, I'll let it return to my side and see whether it chooses you or me in the end. Can the so-called bond of friendship overcome the instincts etched into the genes of living beings?"

"..."

Selina was quite worried when she heard this, because she had been unable to contact the water spirit since a while ago. This had never happened before.

Furthermore, if it is really as the pure water elf said... then how should I accept the water elf and how should I view this fact?

However, no matter what, Selina had to go to the saltwater zone and convince Leonard completely. She also believed that the bond she had formed with the water spirit over time would not be shaken by a few words from a pure water spirit.

"Let's get started, I'm ready."

Selina believes in herself, and even more so in the water elves.
