Chapter 186: Entering The Pond (2) 

The group grunted in acknowledgement and retreated several paces.

The old man grasped the Ice Crystal in his left hand and held the Angelica Ginger in his right, then he slowly brought his two palms closer together and twisted, causing a faint golden light to spill out from within.

The old man shut his eyes and started mumbling to himself. Over time, the golden light within his hands gradually became brighter. When the light was about to become so bright that everyone present wouldn’t be able to keep their eyes open, the old man’s eyes abruptly opened, and he shouted, “Come!” He then threw the Ice Crystal and Angelica Ginger that was still glowing gold into the pond.

A “bang” was heard from within the tranquil waters of Shadow Snaring Pond. Then, the water at the centre of the pond split apart and rolled, almost as if something was causing it to slosh about. The air within the cavern was becoming damper as well, while the ice above their heads appeared to be melting.

When the water looked like it was about to spill out of the pond, the old man said, “It’s here.”

The group turned their attention to the centre of the Shadow Snaring pond where the water was the most turbulent. Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot out of it, followed by a mass of golden light that slowly surfaced from within the pond...

A golden fish gradually appeared before the eyes of everyone present. Its body was half the size of the pond and entirely wreathed in a dazzling light. Two long whiskers that sprouted forth from its mouth could be seen wantonly swaying about in the water.

The old man pointed to the enormous golden fish and said, “This is the Dragon Mouth Catfish. Hurry up and get on its back, it’ll take you to the heart of the Shadow Snaring pond.”

The group heeded the old man’s advice and quickly jumped onto its back. Once they were all aboard, the old man jumped on as well and grabbed onto its fin. He then pulled out several deep blue pearls from within his sleeve and presented them to the group.

“This is a Water Avoiding Pearl. Suck on it.”

The group obediently took the Water Avoiding Pearl’s from the old man and sucked on them. When everyone was sucking on a pearl, the old man reached out his hand and patted the fish on its fin.

The fish’s tail immediately began to sway back and forth before it suddenly submerged in the water. However, the group only felt a formless pressure press down upon them from all directions. The scenery in front of them blurred, and they felt the incredibly realistic sensation of entering the water. When that happened, Morning Glory Chime clung tightly to Quiet And Steadfast’s clothes.

Feeling something tugging at his clothes, Quiet And Steadfast glanced downwards and took a step forward in an attempt to separate himself from Morning Glory Chime.

Shen Jingbin stood just in front of him. Quiet And Steadfast stepping forward brought him very close to her, causing her to eye him suspiciously. In response, he used his eyes to draw her attention towards Morning Glory Chime.

Seeing Shen Jingbin look towards her, Morning Glory Chime covered her mouth and said shyly, “I don’t know how to swim, so I’m a little afraid of water. I did it on reflex… please don’t blame me Brother Quiet.”
