Chapter 289: Young Girl

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Splash… Splash… Splash… The faint sound of water flowing echoed on the surface of the sea.

The small boat slowly sailed towards the center of the sea. Two ripples spread out on both sides, like a curtain cut open by scissors.

Heath sat at the bow of the boat and sized up the gray sea.

It was as if a layer of gray ink had been injected into the sea. The entire sea was gray.

However, if one were to observe carefully, one would discover that the gray color was actually a layer of algae that was not in the seawater. These algae filled the entire sea surface densely, thus causing the seawater to appear gray.

When one pushed aside the gray color above and looked down, one would discover that under the gray curtain was a colorful world. Sea fish, corals, shellfish, and all sorts of strange and strange aquatic creatures covered the bottom of the sea.

‘Blue-Eyed Silver Fish… Red Shells… Ah, even Bee Fish. This Deep Sea Kiss is really rich…’

With a glance, Heath saw a lot of magic materials that he had only read about in books, and some of them were even very high-level magic materials.

‘These materials should be able to be extracted!’

Thinking excitedly, Heath immediately waved at the water. With a whoosh, a strange creature jumped out of the water and flew into Heath’s hand.

It was an octopus the size of a palm, but its appearance was not as smooth and wet as other octopuses. Instead, it was wrinkled, like a piece of rags. There were holes all over it, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth and chrysanthemum-like mouthparts. It looked exceptionally terrifying.

This cloth octopus was also known as the Terrifying Octopus. It was a low-level demonized creature that lived in the sea. Although its level was not high, it had a very high talent in the spirit system. It hunted food by creating terrifying illusions.

Heath grabbed the octopus with one hand and took out a dagger with the other. He was ready to end this little monster.

However, at this moment, Alice suddenly turned around in front of him and stared at the octopus in his hand with her big eyes.

Seeing this, Heath raised the octopus in his hand and shook it. “It’s okay to take an octopus, right?”

Alice did not say anything else.

Heath held the dagger and stabbed into the octopus’s anus-like mouthpart. With a ‘poof’ sound, the dagger pierced into it and seemed to cut something.

The octopus that was originally writhing in Heath’s palm suddenly stopped moving. The grayish-black color on its body also rapidly retreated in an instant. In an instant, its entire body became transparent.

Heath then muttered in his heart, ‘Extraction.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.1]

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Life Sequence of [Terrifying Octopus].]

[Beep, extraction successful. Soul Energy increased…]

A series of notification sounds quickly sounded in Heath’s ears, and a pure spiritual energy quickly surged into his mind.

Heath’s face lit up.

“Sure enough!”

He immediately turned on the system’s remote extraction function and maximized the range. As the range extraction function was turned on, the system’s notifications rang in his mind.

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.1]

[Beep, extraction successful. Strength increased.]

[Beep, extraction successful…]

Along with the continuous sounds, Heath could feel waves of strength continuously surging into his body. His strength, agility, physique, and spiritual power had all increased significantly.

Looking at the constantly jumping numbers on the system, Heath was even happier. This trip had not been in vain!

While he was happily extracting his attributes, Heath took the small boat and slowly sailed towards the center of the sea. When he was about to reach the center of the sea, a layer of faint fog suddenly drifted over from there.

At this time, Heath was still immersed in the pleasure of the attribute growth and did not notice the change in the sea surface.

By the time he came back to his senses, the fog on the surface of the sea had already made it seem as if a large bundle of gray straw had been burned inside the house. The visibility was even less than three meters, and he could see the distance between them clearly.

“Strange, where did this fog come from? Why didn’t I see it when I was on the shore just now?”

Feeling surprised, Heath looked in the direction of Alice in front of him.

The two boats were only a few meters away from each other, but Alice was only left with a silhouette in the thick fog.

Heath wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could say anything, the silhouette in front of him disappeared, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white fog.

Heath shouted, “Alice!”

“Alice…”

“Alice…”

“Alice…”

There was no response from Alice, but there was indeed a series of echoes. It did not seem like they were drifting in the endless deep sea. Instead, it seemed like they had walked into an empty valley.

Heath frowned.

He stood on the ship and looked around. However, all he could see was white fog. The top of his head and the surface of the sea were filled with white fog.

In such a world, Heath could not tell if the ship was still moving forward. He could not feel the progress, the ripples, or the ups and downs of the ship. The scenery in front of him did not change at all. It was as if he had entered a world of stillness.

“What’s going on?” Heath frowned.

The scene in front of him was really too strange. There was an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Could it be that the girl had used her official position to seek personal revenge and lured him to this strange place?

Heath could not help but doubt.

“My heart only belongs to you…”

“Trekking through mountains and rivers… thousands of miles away… no matter where you go, wherever I go…”

“No matter when and where… I’ll always be by your side… till death do us part…”

At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded.

It was a voice that Heath had never heard before. The voice was like the music of the heavens. The song was pleasant to the ears and the tune was graceful and melodious. If one wanted to find an adjective to describe the overall combination, Heath could only think of it as perfect.

An inexplicable emotion was naturally released in Heath’s heart. Listening to this song, one could not help but want to see the owner of the song.

He could not help but look in the direction where the voice came from.

He saw that in the midst of the white fog, there seemed to be a reef protruding on the sea surface. On the reef, there seemed to be a human figure sitting on it. Judging from the outline, it seemed to be a woman.

For some reason, there seemed to be some kind of magic that attracted Heath to investigate.

Under the control of this magic, the small boat that Heath was on also slowly and uncontrollably sailed towards the reef.

Seeing that the figure in front of him was becoming clearer and clearer, Heath was almost able to see the face of the figure. However, at this moment, the figure seemed to have sensed that Heath was approaching, and the graceful and melodious singing stopped abruptly.

Splash!

The young girl jumped into the water, splashing a large amount of water.

The last thing Heath could see seemed to be a large fish tail.

An inexplicable emotion rose in the bottom of Heath’s heart, and he could not help but feel regret and pity.

He looked around, but he could not see the figure on the sea.

However, just as he was feeling disappointed, he suddenly heard a light clicking sound coming from behind him.

He turned around and looked back.

All of a sudden, he saw a girl lying on the side of the boat for no reason….
