Chapter 846: Treasure Seeking Rat
Raul gave a small, approving nod. "Exactly. A weakling wouldn’t dare come here. This lake attracts many powerful beings, including creatures with ancient bloodlines. He must have some cards hidden. But don’t worry—when he comes back up, he’ll be out in the open. Then, we strike. With your strength and mine, even if he’s hiding his true power, he won’t escape."
Nico grinned, revealing slightly yellowed teeth as his small eyes sparkled with cruel anticipation. "Heh, Senior Brother Raul is wise. I’ll do as you say."
Raul’s smile deepened as he narrowed his eyes on the rippling lake. "Good. Let’s be patient. The moment he resurfaces... we’ll snatch everything he’s hiding. No one will ever know."
The two crouched lower, completely silent now, waiting for their prey to rise.
Deep beneath the shimmering waters of Mirror Moon Lake, Max remained oblivious to the two predators lurking above the surface. His focus was solely on finding a rare herb—the Realm Breaking Moon Flower.
According to the ancient map given to him by the elders, this flower was said to exist somewhere within the boundaries of Mirror Moon Lake. But the map offered no clear directions, only a vague marking near the center of the lake.
No specific coordinates, no landmarks—just a vague promise that such a treasure might exist here. Max was used to this. If something could help him break through to Champion Rank, it was never going to come easy.
Just as he was about to start randomly scanning the vast lakebed, something flickered in his Three Dimensional Body vision—a sudden glimmer that caught his attention.
He narrowed his eyes underwater and focused. There, not too far from where he hovered, was a peculiar creature. A rat. But not just any rat—this one was golden. Its entire body gleamed as if it had been bathed in molten gold and frozen mid-shimmer.
Max’s eyes widened in surprise. A golden rat underwater was rare enough, but what truly caught his attention was what it was eating.
