Monster Paradise

e again.
He could not find anything and left.
10 minutes later, Lin Huang and Bai found the second spot where Leng Yuexin was last seen.
He activated Blood Hunt again and found the exact location where Leng Yuexin and the rest had been.

It was scorched ground – dead earth with cracks that looked like spiderwebs that spread as far as 10 kilometers.
The burnt soil bulged around the cracks, seemingly cracking from the inside out.
Lin Huang found a crack that was as wide as a palm and tossed a stone in to find out how deep it was.
He did not hear any sound to confirm if the stone had touched the ground so he was not able to tell how deep it was.
He browsed the Heart Network again but there was nothing about it.

”It seems like these cracks just appeared recently… ” Lin Huang took a couple of photos of the cracks, looked around the area and left.
Within half an hour, he found the third and fourth coordinates where Leng Yuexin and the rest were last seen and both had the similar strange cracks like the second location.
Aside from that, he did not discover anything else.
He took some photos once again and left.
This time, he headed to the last location Leng Yuexin was seen at before she went missing.

Within 20 minutes, the Viridian Wolf brought Lin Huang and Bai to the final destination.
They got off the Viridian Wolf’s back and Lin Huang activated Blood Hunt again.
Following the scent he was familiar with, he found the exact coordinates where Leng Yuexin had last been.
The Mission Card showed that the coordinates were 300 kilometers to the north and Lin Huang found the location easily.
It was a giant waterfall with a giant pool beneath the waterfall.
Leng Yuexin and Li Yanxing’s scent completely disappeared around the waterfall.

”There must be something here.
Perhaps there’s a cave behind this waterfall? ” Lin Huang thought and frowned as he looked around the waterfall but there did not seem to be anything unusual.

He then recalled the Viridian Wolf and summoned the Specter.
As it was a spirit, it was similar like the crows he saw previously, lacking a physical form so it was able to pass through objects.

”Specter, see what’s behind the waterfall, ” Lin Huang instructed the Specter.
The black phantom floated on top of the lake and disappeared into the waterfall.
Soon, it came out from the waterfall.

”Is there a cave or cavern that connects to another location? ” Lin Huang asked.

The Specter shook its head.

”No cave? ” Lin Huang was skeptical.
”It doesn’t look like there ’s anything else nearby… ”

Lin Huang then looked at the quiet pool and thought, ”Could it be under this pool? ”

”Specter, go underwater to see if there’s an underground cave beneath the pool! ” Lin Huang gave his instruction immediately.

The Specter dived into the water without making a single ripple on the surface.

Lin Huang sat by the pool and anxiously waited for the results.
If there was no clue under the pool, he would have no idea how he would find Leng Yuexin at all.

It took more than half an hour this time.
If it was not for Xiao Hei who would notify him if the Specter was dead, he would have thought that it had been killed by an underwater beast.
40 minutes in, the Specter finally emerged from the pool.

”Is there an underwater cave? ” Lin Huang asked immediately.

The Specter nodded.

”That’s it! ” Lin Huang concluded that Leng Yuexin and the rest had dove down under the pool and prepared himself for the descent.
