Splash!
The quiet but very real sound approached bit by bit. Even someone without cultivation like Alex could hear it, let alone Maximilia.
Nervous, the muscles in her body tensed as she held a curved flying dagger in her hand… Of course, she was currently naked. She had fished out the flying dagger from her clothes.
Alex moved. Just as he was about to speak, his mouth was covered by a pretty hand.
Maximilia wrote, “Don’t make a sound” on his stomach with her finger.
Clearly, she had long discovered something lurking in the water.
Alex did not dare to speak, but he pricked up his ears. The sound in the water was getting louder and closer as if it. was within a few meters from them.
At that moment, Alex sensed that Maximilia shot out the flying dagger in her hand with an abrupt jerk, followed by a loud explosion with a huge spark at Alex’s eight o’clock.
In the faint light, something was visible in the pitch-black cave.
Maximilia saw a passage located not far from them.
At the same time, the monster crawling in the water rushed over in the direction of the sound after hearing the loud commotion.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Three consecutive loud splashes could be heard, indicating there were at least three monsters.
Maximilia picked Alex with one hand and grabbed both their clothes before sneaking toward the passage. Unexpectedly, the passage turned out to be a dead end. There was no way ahead.
“It’s a dead-end!” Maximilia frowned as she touched cold stones with both hands. It was still pitch black, and their eyes were no better than decorations.
Maximilia nodded. “Alright. Wait a moment!”
Alex could hear the rustling of her clothes as she put them on… He instantly recalled the scene where they both were hugging each other naked earlier. For a moment, a whim struck him, and he became impulsive. But soon, he kept telling himself that she was Jade, she was Jade…
Maxmilia wore her clothes at a breakneck speed, dressed completely within one minute. Currently, she was touching the two daggers in her hand. “I’ll rub the two daggers to create sparks. You will seize the chance to look at the runes on the wall, but this will definitely attract the monsters. You should concentrate on breaking the formation. Leave the monsters to me.”
“Alright. Be careful,” Alex said.
Clank!
Clank!
There were sounds of grating followed by a massive splash of sparks.
