Chapter 377: Whirlpool (2)
“You smell a spirit beast? Ryong, you’re usually really thorough—are you sure you’re not jumping the gun this time?”
Sister Seol looked puzzled when I said I sensed the scent of a spirit beast.
Up until now, I’d never been so quick to assume anything. I always waited until I had solid evidence. But this time, I just heard the story and immediately suspected a spirit beast—that's what threw her off.
“I’ve got my reasons, Sister Seol.
Whirlpools usually form where fast-moving currents meet each other. But forming in a still lake? And flipping boats over on top of that? That’s far too strange.
And if they’re popping up in multiple spots instead of a single location, that doesn’t happen naturally.”
Whirlpools appear where water flows meet or twist—like # Nоvеlight # where a river joins a lake. But in a calm, flat lake? That’s unheard of.
If whirlpools are forming in such a place, it's either because of a massive fish school stirring the water... or maybe a sinkhole under the lakebed.
But multiple whirlpools? All over the place?
That could only mean one thing: a spirit beast.
Still, even if I was right, I couldn’t exactly celebrate.
Because if the whirlpools were underwater, the creature was almost certainly aquatic.
