Sitting on Shado’s small boat, Alex saw that Shado, the three century old lady, looked abnormally young. She was no different than the regular university students in their twenties out there.
Her water attributed ability allowed her to control the water source with ease. This was also the reason why she could row the boat so effortlessly.
Instead, she did not have to row the boat at all. Using her magical power to drive the water force below, she could move the small boat forward rapidly.
Alex asked many questions the whole time.
Shado said that because their tribe had started taking refuge and hidden in this Nirvana since ancient times three thousand years ago, their people had managed to survive until now. They did not know the outside world well because no one had ever gone outside since the day they got in.
They had traveled on the dark water surface for ten or so minutes.
The dim lantern on the boat could only illuminate the surrounding area for a range of a dozen meters. It was expansive darkness beyond that.
Plop!
Alex suddenly heard the sound of some kind of object falling into the water. The sound was loud as if a giant stone had smashed into a pool of water, immediately followed by a series of rumbling sounds and earth-shattering noise.
Alex could not help feeling slightly anxious. However, he realized that Shado was calm and indifferent as if it were a common occurrence. She cackled as she said, “Don’t worry, it’s just the rumbling sound of the great Genbu. What fell just now is the malignant tumor inside the great Genbu’s body! It’s been cursed, and its body often produces malignant tumors. A tumor will fall after a while, but this tumor is very powerful and soon draws a reaction…”
As soon as she said that, the water turbulently roared. Unexpectedly, it looked like a violent tsunami had occurred.
It was overwhelming.
The area in front of him suddenly turned bright. It was still pitch-black with an incomparably foul smell earlier.
But now, Alex realized that he had reached a river with extremely clear water quality and lush waterside vegetation on both sides. He even saw a sedge of white, giant storks by the rivers.
Then, there were distant mountains, villages, and houses.
‘This place is definitely not inside the great Genbu’s body, right?’
Otherwise, how large would the great Genbu be? It would be simply unimaginable!
Skies, lands, stars, grass, mountains and rivers. Everything was there. He could see the sun when he looked up.
