Chapter 390: Hole (Part 2)

Kenny Lin immediately picked up the pace.

The light grew brighter and closer until they burst out of the passage into another lake.

They knew it was a lake because of the salinity of the water.

Unlike freshwater lakes, the water here was not entirely salty, even if seawater flooded in, it couldn’t completely replace the lake water.

It was like taking a breath of fresh air, and Wealth finally quieted down, no longer scratching at Kenny Lin’s clothes.

"This lake seems shallower than Kilika Lake," Amalia remarked, she noticed there’s a small dot of light overhead, which indicating the sunlight that was come through the surface of the lake.

Being able to see the light on the lake surface indicated that the lake wasn’t deep.

No wonder they hadn’t encountered many deep-sea mutated creatures along the way.

They explored the lakebed once again and discovered that this lake wasn’t just shallow, it was also relatively small, possibly only a quarter of the size of Kilika Lake, or even less.

As soon as the awakened mutated creatures sensed their presence, they disappeared without a trace.

There were far fewer mutated creatures who is actively seeking confrontation here than at Kilika Lake.

It’s uncertain if this had anything to do with the ruler of the lake.

While mutated creatures in Kilika Lake were often fearless, the mutated creatures in this lake seemed extremely fearful of death.

Amalia grabbed a yellow mutated fish.

Even before she could interrogate it, the fish began trembling.

Someone unaware might have mistaken it for having seizures.

Seeing how timid the mutated fish was, Wealth only asked one question, and it spilled everything.

The situation in this lake was somewhat different from Kilika Lake, and it took a lot of effort for Wealth to convey the information to Amalia until she understood.

Amalia proficiently explained to Kenny Lin, "Wealth said that this lake was originally occupied by powerful mutated creatures, but they were killed a few days ago."

"Now, with no leader in the lake, the awakened mutated creatures are too preoccupied to dare attack humans anymore."

"Before heading up, should we go and search for the dead leader’s lair? There might be some clues there," Kenny Lin suggested.

Amalia had no objections.

After all, there might be some useful information at the leader’s lair.

Without continuing Wealth’s interrogation, they directly followed the trembling and cowardly mutated fish as it led the way.

As the mutated fish trembled and led the way, they quickly arrived at the lair.

Compared to the fortress that swallowed the Purple Eelavarices King, this lair looked extremely humble, its just a pile of rubble.

After the mutated creature that occupied the lake had died, its lair had long been emptied out.

As for the mutated creature’s treasure trove, it was unclear whether it had been emptied by humans or its subordinates.

Amalia felt a little bit disappointed but also thought it was to be expected.

Just as she was about to leave, Wealth suddenly tugged at her and pointed at the mutated fish, as if it had something to say but didn’t know how to express it.

Amalia gestured for it to continue by giving it spirit beads, and Wealth didn’t disappointed her.

First, it took out a spirit bead and performed a crunching motion, then swallowed the bead.

"Do you mean to say that the owner of this stone city was killed?"

Amalia decided to temporarily overlook its opportunistic behavior of stealing spirit beads.

Wealth eagerly gave a thumbs up and continued its demonstration.

It turns out, after that incident, the mutated creatures around the leader were scattered in fear, with some of them being killed by another group of approaching mutated creatures, while the others were escaped.

They fled back to some place, where a group of people fought over them for a while before fleeing.

By the time another group of mutated creatures caught up, the stone city was already empty.

"After the owner of the stone city died, its subordinates looted everything in the city. When the human spiritual cultivators rushed over, the only thing that left was an empty city," Amalia summarized in one sentence.

Wealth jumped up joyfully as if confirming her words..

Kenny Lin’s mouth twitched slightly, "You actually understood such a subtle performance."

Amalia replied, "Just getting used to it."

Kenny Lin didn’t want to get used to such things.

"Everything’s been looted, and with so many mutated creatures, who knows where to start looking."

Amalia looked at Wealth, who then glanced at the mutated fish.

Kenny Lin also turned his gaze to the mutated fish.

The mutated fish immediately shrank back.

Even though it was a mutated fish, it was still just an ordinary one.

Wealth’s eyes immediately filled with hostility.

The mutated fish instantly capitulated.

Wealth nodded in satisfaction, thinking it was better this way.

Amalia and Kenny Lin witnessed this scene, and the latter finding it particularly amusing.

He nudged Amalia and said, "Don’t you think its expression is just like a person’s?"

Amalia shrugged, "I don’t think so."

If Kenny Lin didn’t tease her, he wouldn’t be Kenny Lin, "It’s okay, I can tell you, it’s mimicking you. Tsk tsk, like a mother, like a son, both of you are practically identical."

Amalia: "..."

Kenny Lin clicked his tongue twice, "This kind of behavior isn’t good. Parents should set a good example, otherwise, it’s detrimental to the child’s development. They’ll just mimic what they see. So, in the future, you should treat me better and not give me murderous looks at every turn."

Amalia narrowed her eyes, "If you don’t provoke me, then."

Seeing her expression exactly looked the same as Wealth’s, Kenny Lin fell silent for a second, "I’m just saying."

Amalia snorted coldly, and choose to letting him off this time.

The mutated fish who is afraid of Wealth, led them to find the group of mutated creatures who looted the treasures that day.

After looting the former leader’s treasury, each of these creatures dispersed and returning to their respective territories or claiming new ones for themselves.

The mutated fish led them to one of these creatures’s territories.

This creature, having established itself as the ruler and had recruited many subordinate mutated creatures, that responsible for patrolling in the outer perimeter.

When Amalia and Kenny Lin appeared, this group of subordinates was immediately frightened into dropping everything and fleeing, without a single one running back to report.

"It seems they were just recruited recently," Amalia chuckled.
