Chapter 49: Rainbow Rose
This ignited a fire inside him which forced him to push himself. Luckily for him, his experiences this time in the Misty Mountains seemed to have benefited him a lot.
He could feel that he had almost reached the peak of the fifth rank and would soon break through in at most a week. This delighted him as he continued focusing his attention on cultivation.
The night gradually passed, and soon, it was morning. Adrian exited his cave and went to the lake to have a bath. Though still wary of his surroundings, he enjoyed the feeling of safety he felt. After a light breakfast, he returned to the edge of the lake.
Excitement was etched on his face as he dived down to the depths of the lake. This time, he went far deeper than before until he arrived in front of a massive cave near the bottom of the lake. This cave obviously belonged to the Stoneveil Crocodile.
The density of Qi was immense at this depth, and it kept increasing as he neared the cave. He was now sure that whatever treasure was causing this was definitely in the cave of the Stoneveil Crocodile.
He brought out his sword just in case while swimming into the cave. However, a peculiar sight greeted him. He could see bones in multiple corners of the cave. This meant that he wasn’t the first person to discover the peculiarity of the lake. Others had seemingly done the same and had ventured to retrieve the supposed treasure within the lake.
However, they all met with the same fate. Death by the Stoneveil Crocodile. This also explained why there was no previous information about this region. Anyone who found it would immediately dive in wanting to retrieve it for themselves and would consequently be vanquished by the crocodile.
A peculiar thought arose in Adrian’s mind.
