Chapter 44: Stoneveil Crocodile
After Lily started diving, a silent atmosphere permeated the environment. No one spoke, and anxiety filled her teammates' expressions. Only Adrian was unfazed.
As long as she wasn't stupid like Robert, she would soon come back. That was exactly what happened. Lily resurfaced after a few minutes and excitedly swam towards the group. As she came out of the lake, her clothes clung to her skin, making her appear very sensual and alluring.
Robert couldn't take his eyes off her chest as he was about to start drooling when a jab from Daniel brought him back to his senses.
Luckily for him, Lily was too excited to notice his gaze as she reported her findings to her peers. The group instantly became excited at the report and started staring at the lake with fervent expressions.
With what Lily has just described, whatever was down there would surely be valuable. They immediately started to plan how to approach the situation. The boar eventually came out. A rope was attached to the body as it was thrown into the lake.
The blood tainted the water of the lake as the six pairs of eyes watched it slowly sink toward the bottom. They were hoping to use the scent of blood to lure out the beast before inspecting what they were going up against.
A few tugs on the rope ensured it was still attached to the boar while spreading the bloody scent throughout the lake.
However, as soon as the boar crossed the fifty-meter mark, the rope suddenly became loose in Daniel's hand. He was the one responsible for monitoring the boar's corpse.
Because of the blood spread throughout the surface of the lake, they couldn't even get a glimpse of their foe. Obviously, their plan had failed. This made them pensive and without other options.
