“Isn’t the Ghost-Faced Squid a legendary creature? Why doesn’t it use the Legendary Domain?” Qin Lun asked Mastasia curiously as he ran.

“It doesn’t dare to use it. The legendary domain of water-type magical beasts is mostly the water domain. If it was in the Endless Sea, the waves created by the water domain could even overturn a steam warship made by a goblin in an instant. However, this is a lake after all. If it did so, the water level would drop a lot.” Highland Elves replied, panting.

Qin Lun understood that with this Ghost-Faced Squid’s size, it was now trapped in the Land of Death forever. It would not destroy its homeland just to hunt its own people. Otherwise, everyone would simply be unable to resist the monstrous waves it created. This could be considered a great fortune amidst misfortune.

“Which way?” Lago, who was exploring the way ahead, shouted at Mastasia.

“Wait!” Highland Elves bent down and inserted his palm into the soil. He used his fingers to pick up some dirt and put it into his mouth. After carefully tasting it, he pointed out a direction for everyone. “This way!”

“Is this useful?” Winnie’s face was a little pale due to the excessive casting of the spell. Her beautiful hair was sticking to her face with sweat.

“She is measuring the decay in the soil. This place is different from other lakes. The water is too deep for the swamp banyan tree to grow. The higher the concentration of decay, the closer it gets to the real bank.” Qin Lun explained softly behind her.

“Oh!” Winnie agreed and asked, “Why didn’t she do this before?”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he didn’t explain. Winnie quickly came to her senses and shook her head with a bitter smile.

Mastasia did not do so before. First, she did not realize that the lake was special. Second, if she did so, there would be side effects. The keen-eyed Qin Lun had seen Elves quietly wipe the blood from his nose from behind him more than once.

Can the soil of the swamp be tasted randomly? Not to mention the messy things inside, just the poison accumulated by the methane over the years was enough for her to drink a pot of it.

“Huala!” The distant sound of the lake paddling quickly made everyone nervous again. The Ghost-Faced Squid still hadn’t given up on hunting.

“Qin Lun, can you use the Tree Realm to descend?” Hill asked quietly on the guild channel.

“The environment here is not suitable!” Qin Lun shook his head. Just this narrow dirt road covered with trees was useless, it could not stop the Ghost-Faced Squid’s tentacles. Moreover, this was the depths of the lake, and there weren’t many plant seeds in the soil. Even if he used the Tree Realm to descend, he probably wouldn’t be able to form a large-scale barrier.

“There’s no road ahead!” The thief ran back with an anxious expression. In fact, without his greeting, everyone could clearly see dozens of meters ahead. It was a vast ocean. The dirt road came to an abrupt halt when it reached here, and the first part of the road submerged beneath the water.

“How could this be?” Seaver fell to the ground in a daze. From the point of view of ordinary people and noble young masters, his will was already extraordinarily firm. After running away for a night, if it was an ordinary professional, they would probably collapse at this time.

“Bah!” Mastasia spat out the black soil in her mouth, her eyes revealing a trace of joy. “Swim over. Across the river is the shore. I have already tasted the fresh banyan seeds!”

“Are you sure?” Looking at the pitch-black surface of the water, Winnie tried her best to increase the brightness of the Light Art, but she was still unable to see too far away.

“Isn’t there a Water Binding Spirit in the water?” Lago asked weakly.

“There is no such thing in this lake. Near the Ghost-Faced Squid’s nest, no other consciousness will be allowed to exist.” Masta Xia bent down to support her knees. In the darkness, only Qin Lun could see the blood gushing out from the corner of her mouth.

A small pool of blood quickly accumulated on the ground. Highland Elves straightened up and quietly rubbed the pool of blood with his leather boots.

“Qin Lun, can you see it?” Rand smiled bitterly and asked, “If we make another mistake this time, we won’t be able to fight the Ghost-Faced Squid in the water.”

“I can’t see it clearly. The distance is at least a hundred meters!” The gazing halo in Qin Lun’s left eye quietly dissipated and he shook his head helplessly.

“Hurry up and decide. That thing is getting closer and closer!” Rick shouted.

“Trust me, the opposite side must be the shore!” Mastasia shouted, “Plop!” She jumped into the bone-chilling lake first.

“We have no choice!” Qin Lun exchanged a glance with his two companions and stalled Seaver. “Follow me closely. If you can’t swim, speak!”

“En!” Seaver gritted his teeth, nodded, and followed Qin Lun and the others into the water.

“Damn it!” The Thief cursed to himself, then jumped down and trembled as soon as he came into contact with the lake water, “# @ … It’s so cold!”

“Winnie, pull me!” Rick handed his hand to the female mage. She was the weakest. Even though she had been adventuring in the wilderness for many years, she was only slightly better than Schiff. A mage’s physique was so fragile and sensitive. This had nothing to do with whether or not they had exercised. It was the result of being corroded by various magical elements for a long time.

“Can you enter the water? Do you want me to add a floating spell to you?” Winnie hesitated as she looked at Rick’s heavy armor.

“It’s fine. The armor has a constant water avoidance technique. It has a lot of buoyancy in the water.” Rick shook his head and smiled.

“Huala!” As he spoke, the clear sound of water paddling in the distance seemed to be like a whip, urging everyone to speed up.

“Mastasia?” Qin Lun, who was the second to jump into the water, had just swam a distance when he discovered that Elves had actually disappeared from the highlands.

“It’s sinking!” Hill closed his eyes and sensed it for a while before pointing at the water. His water affinity was even better than Qin Lun’s eyes.

“You guys go first, I’ll go save her!” Qin Lun signaled Seaver to follow Hill and Rand and plunged himself into the water.

“Rand, do you feel that Qin Lun is a little strange these days?” Hill watched his actions and frowned slightly. He blocked the guild channel and secretly communicated with the fireworks.

“Yes, I’ve already discovered it!” Rand nodded solemnly. “Along the way, he saved the mage twice in a row. He saved the thief once. If it had been before, he wouldn’t have done this at all!”

Qin Lun and the others hired the Thorn Blood Mercenary Corps in order to make them cannon fodder. Occasionally, they would even be able to explain it once in a while. It would be different from Qin Lun’s style to continuously help them. How could he treat cannon fodder with such meticulous care?

“Don’t ask him yet. Let’s see what he wants to do.” Hill shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Schiff, who was still swimming, as he struggled to swim in the direction Mastasia had pointed out.

“Where is it?” Qin Lun’s left eye flickered with a dark green light as he carefully groped under the water, but he could never see the shadow of the Highland Elves. The lake water in the Death Swamp seemed to be denser than the water in the outside world. He couldn’t see far, so he could only rely on his senses to search.

“I found it!” A moment later, a hint of joy finally flashed across Qin Lun’s face. He discovered that the Highland Elves’ ponytails were scattered like water grass.

“Cough cough!” Highland Elves’s head rose from the water and coughed intensely. Streams of blood flowed down his mouth.

“Where am I?” Mastasia opened her eyes and looked blankly at Silver-haired elf beside her.

However, her consciousness quickly regained consciousness. She felt a little stuffy on her chest and could not help but lower her head to look. Qin Lun’s arms circled around her armpits, his two palms impolitely supporting her tall and plump peaks as he dragged her forward.

Because Qin Lun could only use his legs to kick the water, the two of them stuck together without any gaps. Along with the intimate friction, the exhausted body of Highland Elves felt like it had been electrocuted.

“You’re awake? Then relax, don’t stretch yourself!” Qin Lun lowered his head to take a look and said in a deep voice, “We’re at the back.”

Silver-haired elf’s pale face fell into Mastasia’s eyes, causing a strange expression to appear in Highland Elves’s heart. However, she quickly gave the young man a fierce shave, shook off Qin Lun’s arm, and tried to swim forward.

Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and grinned. As he followed Highland Elves, he paid attention to the movement behind him. However, a strange expression quickly appeared on his face, and he tried his best not to laugh.

Mastasia was tall, well-proportioned and well-built, especially her long legs. Unfortunately, at this time, her swimming style was extremely ugly. It was actually a dog crawling style. He paddled so hard, but his speed wasn’t fast, and he would occasionally choke twice. No wonder he had sunk to the bottom before.

“You don’t know how to swim, and you’re still competing to be the first to jump into the water?” Qin Lun asked with a chuckle.

Highland Elves’s body stiffened, and he almost sank again. He danced for a while before he floated up again. Qin Lun quickened his pace and rushed to her side. His arm circled around her armpit, once again holding onto a pair of magnificent lethal weapons from Mastasia, he pulled her forward.

“Stop struggling. You don’t want to turn us into food for Ghost-Faced Squid, do you?” Feeling Elves’s instinctive resistance, Qin Lun tightened his arms and said expressionlessly.

Mustacha lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly in the darkness, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

“What?” Qin Lun couldn’t hear what she was saying, so he asked doubtfully.

“I am High Elves, so it’s not strange that I can’t swim!” Shouted Mustacha angrily as she raised her voice.

“Alright, alright, I understand!” Qin Lun felt that Highland Elves’s performance was a little strange, so he could only perfunctorily say a few words.

“Coax the child!” Highland Elves curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but Qin Lun ignored her. Even a harpsichord master couldn’t get rid of the common faults of women.

“I see the bank!” Lago’s cheers came from ahead.

Qin Lun raised his head to look. As his gaze flickered, he could finally see a hazy shadow in front of him. On this vast lake, the black shadows that appeared far away from the horizon clearly meant that the shore was about to arrive.

“Eh? Strange!” Masta Xia, who was in Qin Lun’s arms, frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying in surprise, “We’re here!”

“To a place?” Qin Lun looked at Elves with a puzzled expression.

“En!” Mustacha nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. “Look, this black shadow is endless. Isn’t it different from the swamp environment we’ve always seen?”

“Are you saying that we’ve reached the entrance to the canyon of the Giant Demon’s Claw?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and instantly understood.
