Chapter 1834 - 1833: Releasing the Water Monster
The water monster snuggled up in Su Yang's arms, appearing quite affectionate, which left the turtles bewildered.
One turtle came charging forward but forgot to stop, crashing straight into Su Yang's back, which caused him to be pushed forward slightly.
The water monster suddenly became furious, opening its mouth wide at the turtle, scaring it to scramble away, watching in fright from a distance.
Only now did Su Yang have the time to observe the water monster closely. It looked like a dragon, but part of its body was submerged in a cave below, making it hard to see its full form.
The water monster roared at the turtle and charged forward a bit, but its body suddenly tightened as if trapped by the cave, strangely.
Su Yang wanted to observe more, but he was running out of breath. He waved his hand at the water monster, pointing to his nose to indicate he needed to get air. He wasn't sure if the water monster understood, but he was exhausted; without air soon, he might suffocate in here.
Seeing Su Yang trying to leave, the water monster immediately entwined him.
Su Yang was startled, wondering if the water monster was trying to kill him. Was the affectionate act earlier just a ruse?
Before Su Yang could react, the water monster opened its mouth and blew out a bubble. The bubble enveloped Su Yang's head, and to his amazement, the bubble was filled with oxygen, allowing him to breathe normally inside.
This situation shocked Su Yang further; it seemed he underestimated the water monster. The monster's abilities were far beyond his imagination!
Of course, what the water monster did brought him joy; clearly, it bore no hostility towards him. It was even helping him! What was going on?
With a puzzled mind, Su Yang gestured at the water monster, intending to ask something. However, the monster showed no response and merely dragged Su Yang to the water's bottom, leaving him clueless.
Since the water monster seemed friendly, Su Yang decided to follow it underwater. At the cave entrance, the water monster nudged the stones with its head and shook its head toward Su Yang, as if conveying something.
Su Yang was astonished, not knowing what this meant. But since the water monster reacted this way, there must be a reason.
Bending down at the cave's edge, Su Yang took a closer look inside and was surprised to find that the water monster's body below the entrance appeared larger, right at the cave's exit, unable to emerge.
Realization dawned on Su Yang; the water monster was trapped here, which is why its body couldn't fully emerge.
Still, what exactly was this water monster? Its head resembled a dragon. If it were truly a dragon, its body should taper off, so why was its lower body stuck in this cave?
Perplexed, Su Yang carefully examined the cave.
Massive stone slabs surrounded the cave's entrance, blocking it entirely. The water monster's body was obstructed by these slabs, trapping it within the cave.
Su Yang attempted to move the slabs, but it was futile.
The water monster's power was far greater than Su Yang's. Since it couldn't shift the slabs, Su Yang certainly couldn't.
Unable to move the slabs, the water monster grew anxious, nudging Su Yang gently with its head and extending its neck towards another direction, as if signaling something.
Su Yang couldn't comprehend the water monster's intent, so he glanced toward the indicated direction and hesitantly swam a bit.
The water monster nodded in satisfaction, directing Su Yang to continue.
Su Yang swam forward according to the monster's guidance until he reached the required position after about thirty meters.
Once there, Su Yang wasn't sure what the water monster meant but observed the area closely.
This area differed from the water monster's previous location, with many aquatic plants. Using a short dagger he carried, Su Yang cut through the plants and uncovered the area.
After some effort, Su Yang finally discovered a small cave at the bottom. He glanced up at the water monster and pointed at the cave, waving his hand toward it.
The water monster nodded vigorously, seemingly indicating Su Yang found the right place.
Su Yang didn't know what was within the cave, but it appeared the water monster wanted him to enter.
After pondering, Su Yang decided to enter the cave.
The cave wasn't large; once inside, it felt like a small room.
Su Yang circled inside and finally found a chain at the furthest part. One end of the chain was embedded in the stone wall, while the other was broken, as if something attached to it had forcibly snapped the chain.
Su Yang was perplexed, wondering what this situation was.
Swimming out of the cave, he looked at the water monster. The monster was energetically nodding at Su Yang, appearing anxious, as if urging him to do something.
Su Yang gestured to the water monster, imitating the chain's shape. However, after gesturing for a while, the monster merely nodded, leaving Su Yang puzzled about its meaning.
Ultimately, Su Yang couldn't decipher what the water monster wanted him to do. He decided to return to the cave and searched carefully but found nothing special except the chain. He took the chain.
This was the only unique thing in the cave, suggesting the water monster directed him here for the chain. But what did it want him to do?
Filled with doubt, Su Yang tried pulling the chain. After pulling a few times, he was surprised to discover the chain wasn't fixed to the wall but could be moved.
This must be the mechanism!
Filled with excitement, Su Yang gripped the chain and tugged hard. Soon, he had pulled the chain out about ten meters.
At that moment, a sudden underwater current surged wildly, as if some massive creature was stirring underwater.
Startled, Su Yang dropped the chain and rushed out, just in time to see the water monster emerging from the cave. The swirling current was caused by the water monster!
