Chapter 387: Stonefish (Part 1)

Kenny Lin immediately pestered her for details.

Since she had decided to tell him, Amalia didn’t hide anything anymore.

However, she didn’t go into too much detail, she only mentioned that in her past life, she lived in the interstellar era as an interstellar mercenary.

After her death, she unexpectedly reincarnated into the body of the original owner who has the same name and surname as her.

"It’s no wonder that I felt you were very special the first time I saw you. Your whole body exudes a sense of dissonance," Kenny Lin said, he propping his chin with one hand.

Curious, Amalia asked, "What dissonance?"

Kenny Lin explained, "Your physical condition isn’t great and your limbs are very weak, which doesn’t match with the vigilance and the movements you display."

Amalia understood. A

At that time, she was still in the recovery period.

Another person might not have noticed any issues, but it wasn’t surprising that Kenny Lin did.

Kenny Lin didn’t inquire further, and neither did she.

Some things didn’t need to be explained further.

After dealing with matters on land, they descended into the lake.

The bottom of the lake was very quiet, with no sign of the Purple Eelavarices that had once emerged from all directions.

As they swam deeper, they encountered more and more mutated deep-sea creatures.

Some of these deep-sea creatures would attack them, while others who sense a powerful force from afar choose to avoid them.

Not all mutated creatures with awakened intelligence would attack humans on sight.

If they did that they would be no different from the non-intelligent fierce beasts then.

Before long, the two of them arrived at the main camp of the Purple Eelavarices.

In the quiet depths of the lake, a large fortress-like structure lay silent and still.

When the Purple Eelavarices who used to roam here saw them, they fled.

Instead, there were some unintelligent sea creatures who swam around aimlessly inside the fortress.

Amalia searched around the fortress and found a locked room.

After she broke it open, she discovered that it contained nothing but artifacts.

These artifacts were all seized by the Purple Eelavarices King from the spiritual cultivators who were killed and dragged into the depths of the lake.

All their belongings were all stored in this room.

Despite being submerged in water for many years, these artifacts still retained their spiritual light.

Surprisingly, most of these artifacts that were collected by the Purple Eelavarices King were all have good quality.

As for the ones with poor quality, they were just simply discarded outside.

"Why would a fish collect so many artifacts?"

Amalia muttered as she collected them.

"It probably just likes shiny things," Kenny Lin replied nonchalantly.

Amalia couldn’t help but tease, "Likes to collect shiny things, shouldn’t it be a dragon’s preference?"

...

The fortress of the Purple Eelavarices residence was indeed large, but it was not very complex inside.

Even though they had evolved limbs and gained intelligence, their habits couldn’t change.

After confirming that there was no passage connecting to the ocean inside the fortress, Amalia and Kenny Lin left.

"What do you think?" Amalia asked Kenny Lin as they came out from the fortress.

"This lake bottom is most likely a place with a connection to the ocean," Kenny Lin said without hesitation.

Amalia nodded in agreement, "I also think so. Inland freshwater lakes cannot have deep-sea creatures. One or two species might be explainable, but not dozens."

"Not only that, this Kilika Lake now has the taste of seawater," Kenny Lin added.

"That’s one of the reasons why I suspected it in the first place," Amalia agreed.

"This lake is so vast, it would probably take at least ten days to search it thoroughly," Kenny Lin’s deep gaze fell on the Wealth in Amalia’s hand.

Ever since it was threatened by the previous owner to be thrown away, Wealth did not dare stay on Kenny Lin’s shoulder anymore.

What bad ideas is the previous owner brewing again?

Following his gaze, Amalia saw Wealth and she immediately understood, "Then let’s catch a few of them and try it out."

Of course, it would be best if they were the ones with awakened intelligence.

So, those deep-sea creatures that had gained intelligence and were hostile to humans were caught.

After catching one, they let Wealth interrogate it, then killed it, caught another one, interrogated it again, and continued this process until Wealth nodded to indicate it was enough, then they released these unfortunate creatures.

"Now it’s your turn to perform, Wealth," Amalia took out a spiritual bead.

The spiritual energy contained in the beads attracted the nearby creatures, and another group came to their doom.

After dealing with these creatures, Amalia turned back and found that Wealth hadn’t moved at all, only its mouth was moving.

"What’s wrong?" Amalia asked.

Wealth swallowed what was in its mouth, picked up two or three spiritual beads, and threw them into its mouth, with a few crunching sounds, it shattered the beads and swallowed them into its stomach.

Amalia was instantly covered in black lines.

Kenny Lin chuckled, "Looks like it’s treating the spiritual beads you gave it as snacks, thinking you’re rewarding it?"

Seeing its claws still restlessly reaching for the beads, Amalia couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact.

Unable to bear it any longer, she tapped its head.

"I knew you’d just keep eating. In this half-hour, how many crystal cores have you eaten already? Haven’t you had enough?"

Wealth was feeling wronged, so it rubbed its head.

It hadn’t eaten that many, it’s just around a hundred or so.

If Amalia knew what it was thinking, she might have given it a good beating again.

Hundred or so not many?

Even the lowest-grade crystal core were at least reached Level 4, and the highest reached Level 8 or 9.

Wealth sighed, life was truly tough.

No, wait, it’s clearly a Lumina Scale Komodo.

it is not some kind of little black dog!

"Since you don’t need to practice, then lead the way."
