The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Shiny Rocks and Big Ferns

Thor looked out of his space and popped into reality to run across the field and splash in the pond.

"Well, we can say that the water is safe. Go ahead, everyone, and try not to let Thor splash you too much if you're not going to strip down to swimwear." Karl laughed.

After splashing around for a moment, Thor settled into the pond with a sigh, letting just his snout show over the surface as he relaxed in the cool water.

[It feels so good on the scales.] He informed Karl happily.

Karl walked down to the pond, following the others, who were searching for a spot that felt right to them so they could pick a lucky rock.

Hawk thought that it was hilarious, as he had no interest in the rocks. Nor did Rae, as they glowed and would mess up the vibe in her space. How could she be a mysterious predator in the dark and use a nightlight?

[You could make a walkway with them down the sides.] Karl suggested.

[So bright. How would I ever sleep?] Rae objected.

Karl looked over at Thor, who was now snoring as he relaxed in the lake, and the spider began to laugh.

[Point taken.]

Karl decided he would pick a stone after everyone else had theirs. He wasn't strictly a magic user, so it didn't matter whether he found some perfect or most powerful stone, he would just pick a nice-looking one and call it a day.

So, while the others put great effort into their choice, Karl focused on making a relaxation pond for Thor in his mental space. If the Lightning Cerro liked the water that much, it only made sense to give him a pond of his own.

Finding the stones only took a half an hour, but then the warriors began to strip down to their shirts and underwear to go for a swim with Thor. The water had magic in it, and a swim might give them some benefits that they wouldn't get just by standing near the shore.

Most of the mages were more reluctant, as they weren't as physically toned as the warriors were, but eventually, they caved and ran back into the bushes to change into swimsuits from their bags.

Having to recover a resource from the water was an anticipated scenario, and the suits didn't take much space, so they were standard kit. They were also useful on rainy days in hot environments, when it was easier to just get wet and keep your kit dry than to try to dry your clothes later.

Karl finished the small pond for Thor, which he could expand later, and changed before he came out of the trees to join the fun. The combination of the Lightning Cerro, whose refreshing lightning made the water mildly charged and refreshing as he slept, and the natural magic of the pond combined to make an outdoor spa.

They likely wouldn't get much more done today unless they left soon, but Karl let everyone soak for an hour and play in the pond before Hawk reported that he had seen some strange ferns that were definitely magic.

"Hawk has found another resource. Has everyone found what they need here?" Karl asked.

"Yeah, give us a bit to change clothes, and we will be ready to go." Dana replied, giving the water a longing look.

They couldn't take it with them, but there were still plenty of magical stones in it, so they could come back on another mission to the area and play in the water again. The Holy Stones that they had gathered wouldn't wear out if they just used them as a meditation focus to improve their growth, so they wouldn't need to take any more of them, just relax in the water.
