Chapter 1789 - 1785 The People of the Water Absorption Tribe
Shen Luo followed Zhu Mangqi through the Flame Coral area and, from a distance, saw a region of grayish-white sea rocks that looked very different from elsewhere, with varying elevations and circular holes of different sizes scattered across.
"That’s the settlement of the Water Absorption tribe," Zhu Mangqi explained.
"If it’s their settlement, why can’t I see a single person from the Water Absorption tribe?" Shen Luo asked in puzzlement.
"I don’t know. Last time I came, the young ones of the Water Absorption tribe were all playing outside," Zhu Mangqi looked around for a moment, also showing a face of confusion.
"Something seems off; I can’t sense their breath," Shen Luo swept his Divine Sense over and found that the settlement inside seemed empty of any living creatures.
"Forget it; let’s not worry about that for now. Let’s find the Water-Fire Beading Pill first," Zhu Mangqi stopped Shen Luo, who was about to investigate further.
Shen Luo turned back and saw Zhu Mangqi sweating profusely, with bluish-purple lips, knowing he couldn’t last too long underwater, so he nodded.
Then, following Zhu Mangqi, they bypassed the Water Absorption tribe’s settlement and dived into another patch of Flame Coral, most of which was already dead, forming a forest, with grayish-white coral reefs.
The two twisted and turned within, finally reaching the outside of a strait.
"Zhu brother, you really are something, finding such a hidden place?" Shen Luo couldn’t help but praise.
The place, called a strait, was more like a seabed fissure, at most a yard wide at the widest, wedged in a fissure within the Coral Forest, where ordinary people would find it hard to discover.
