Chapter 83: The Hidden Room
Chapter 83: The Hidden Room
An Rui quickly snapped out of his shock.
He carefully observed the monsters on the lake's surface.
Although there was not a hint of goodwill towards the two of them in the monsters' eyes, the obvious intent to attack had clearly vanished.
The danger on the lake's surface had subsided, but the spider behind them was still a deadly enemy, one that could never be swayed by such a force!
"Linsai, I know you can handle these monsters, but what about the spider behind us?"
"Take me with you; there's no way we can crawl to the Hidden Frontier from here. Stop being stubborn!"
But Linsai shook his head slightly.
He led An Rui, stepping on the ripples of Mirror Lake, and continued forward with steady strides:
"An Rui, my solution isn't about risking our lives on that frosty wind."
"Huh?"
An Rui was confused once again.
But beneath him, Linsai's confidence did not come from nowhere.
As An Rui was pondering, Linsai had completed the task and proactively claimed the corresponding achievement reward—【Hidden Map of the World Boundary】.
This reward was not a tangible item.
Instead, it added a coordinate and a description to his 【Map】 skill—【Beneath the vines, a hidden waterway; lightly tap with fire, the door shall open.】
The coordinate pointed to a location.
It was the base of the climbing vine that stretched towards the distant horizon right before them!
It didn't take long for Linsai to pass through the monsters and reach the southwest direction of Mirror Lake.
This location was already at the very edge, and there were no monsters waiting for the treant's command to inhabit this place.
Looking down, the nearby lake water was unremarkable.
At the edge of the thin layer of water, there was a green vine rooted and spreading towards the horizon.
But Linsai stopped in this empty corner.
He turned to An Rui and said:
"An Rui, hold your breath, we need to go down there."
"Huh?"
An Rui didn't understand what Linsai was planning.
In front of them was only a layer of crystal-clear water and the sturdy vine connecting the worlds, blocking their path...
Was he asking them to bury their faces in this three to forty-centimeter deep water?
An Rui was perplexed.
But Linsai put down the firebrand he had been carrying and lit the vine:
"There's a path below, let's go!"
The next second, An Rui understood Linsai's plan.
Beneath the three to forty-centimeter deep water, the intertwined vines concealed a one-meter-wide gap, leading to a deeper part of the vine!
As the flame touched this spot, the vine wriggled and opened this gap.
Unless one knew beforehand, who could possibly uncover such a secret?
"..."
An Rui understood Linsai's intention.
But doubts followed.
How did his student know about this hidden path?
An Rui didn't have time to ponder; he naturally crawled into the gap.
Linsai, who had just crawled through the vine, swam to his side, grabbed An Rui's only free hand, and led him forward.
The vine behind them closed again after a brief opening.
In the deep, dark waters, the two of them were surrounded by darkness.
Only their hands and feet occasionally touching the surrounding vines gave them a sense of their location.
The good news was that the darkness wasn't dangerous.
The secret underwater tunnel was narrow, barely allowing a person to swim through, eliminating the possibility of getting lost.
Splash!
Not long after, Linsai and An Rui emerged from the water together.
The tunnel, woven with vines and water, was not very long, only about five or six meters. But the pitch-black environment caused a slight uneasiness in one's heart.
Lin Sai emerged from the water and took out a torch.
Boom!
The torch, transformed by Essence Conversion, instantly dispelled the darkness and dampness for the two of them.
In the past, Lin Sai would always carry around five or so torches when in action.
But with the acquisition of the Survival Construction Module, he increased the number to twenty!
As he moved forward, he planted torches along the way every few meters.
The hidden space was soon illuminated by the light source, revealing fresh green walls composed of climbing celestial vines. The surrounding greenery swayed with the firelight, as if everything here possessed the throbbing of life.
"Uncle An Rui, let's go inside."
At this moment, An Rui was completely speechless.
On one hand, he was still seriously combating the toxins remaining in his body, and on the other hand, the encounter before him was truly astonishing! Even a hundred and twenty years ago.
When he followed the expedition team and passed through this path, no one had ever thought that beneath these climbing celestial vines, there would be a hidden space! And now, it had been discovered by his student!
"This... Lin Sai, how did you know about this place?"
"Because of your skills?"
Unlike leaving the secret Dan to Lin Sai, An Rui's personality was much more straightforward. He didn't think much and directly asked about the secrets of all this.
Lin Sai didn't plan to hide his abilities from his teacher.
But explaining the abilities of a Gamer to a Foreign World person was indeed inconvenient, so he could only point to the Sylvan Flower Crown on his head and explain in a more general way:
"Just like this thing on my head, they are all special effects caused by my skills."
An Rui became even more confused:
"What profession did you choose?"
"Hunter, Life Scholar, or Warrior, none of them could have such abilities, not even the Death Sect of Lady Red Moon!"
Looking at the perplexed An Rui, Lin Sai could only answer like this:
"Gamer, I'm a game player."
"..."
"I've heard of this skill."
"But they seem to only turn traditional games like hide-and-seek into some useless little tricks, and the highest achievement... I've never even heard of anyone reaching the Third Stage!"
An Rui's first sentence startled Lin Sai.
He had thought he had come to an online game world and had become an NPC.
But as he listened to the subsequent questions, he became relieved.
"Strictly speaking, this is indeed a skill in the game." Lin Sai scratched his cheek, seeing An Rui's subtle expression as he stared at him, and quickly removed the pink flower crown from his head before continuing, "But there is a certain difference between my game and theirs, and they cannot be considered the same type."
An Rui looked at Lin Sai, now without the flower crown and less adorable, feeling a bit of regret.
Then he asked:
"Is it like how the War School has the War Ascender, Tyrant, and Defender?"
Lin Sai awkwardly nodded:
"It's probably like that."
The two of them discussed Lin Sai's abilities while continuing to explore.
After more than ten meters of the tunnel, a turn appeared ahead.
After the two passed through, the scene ahead was completely different from before! It was a lake hidden among the vines, and in the middle of the lake, a small hill was exposed, covered with a colorful lawn.
In the center of the lawn.
A wooden green longsword was quietly stuck there.
