Chapter 1007 I Feel The Water Content In My Body Is Going To Be Gone Soon
Under the Boundless Sea Realm, an ancient palace was entangled by sea weeds, yet one could still see its majestic past.
“High Priest, the holy maiden Gina has already embarked on the search for the Chosen One through the teleportation portal. However, the teleportation portal is already over 1,000 years old, it is unknown if it could still send her to that place,” a siren reported respectfully to the siren in black robes sitting on the altar.
“That is an ancient altar which is a remnant from the ancient times. It is still standing after 10,000 years. As long as it isn’t damaged, it can start saltatory teleportation between all the teleportation portals. Gina has the unique Lantisde’s power stone, which can activate the portals. She is able to activate the teleportation portals three times. If she still can’t find the Chosen One after three transmissions, then she will have to walk.” There was a hint of worry in the voice of the high priest too.
“You have deduced that the Chosen One’s location is near one ancient altar, and believe that our omnipotent god will make sure Gina finds him.”
“I certainly hope so.”
...
In a desolate desert valley, an ancient teleportation portal lit up. A beautiful figure appeared in the middle of the altar.
She was wearing a seaweed skirt with both her long legs close together. Two white seashells barely covered her ample breasts, and her pale skin was as white as snow, while her golden-red hair was still wet as if she had just come out from a bath.
Hmm? Where am I? Could this be the continent? The lady opened her light golden eyes, and a gleam of light flashed through them as she stared at her surroundings curiously. Heat was emanating from the golden sand that stretched on endlessly. Everything was so new and amazing.
Then, she raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky. It was hanging in the sky like a huge golden-red plate. It resembled a continuously burning fireball.
“Is this the legendary sun? It’s so round... so bright... so glaring!” She swiftly retrieved her gaze, and she felt her surroundings had become black instantaneously.
“Am I blinded? No...” Gina blinked her eyes in panic, and reached her hands out to feel her surroundings. Fortunately, she began to regain her sight after a while and heaved a sigh of relief. She covered her face with her hands and peered at the sun through the tiny gaps between her fingers. With a lingering fear, she mumbled, “So Grandma had said the truth. I really can go blind if I look at the sun. This sun is indeed so petty. I can’t even look at it.
“Oh yes. I have come to find the Chosen One. The high priest said I had to find him, then knock him out and bring him back. I am so excited just thinking about it.” Gina rolled her eyes around as she remembered the motive of her trip. She didn’t see the scene of the blocks of buildings from the image when she looked around her. Her gaze landed on the tall sand dunes next to the valley. “I am going up there to have a look.”
Gina came to the edge of the altar and placed one foot on the sand.
“Shhh!!! It’s so hot!”
Gina quickly retrieved her snowy white foot the moment she touched the sand. She lifted her foot with difficulty. The bottom of her foot was already red. She blew at her foot with teary eyes as she mumbled, “Why is it so hot? It even cooked my tiny foot. So, the people living on the continent have to live like grilled fish every single day? Such poor things. It’s really more comfortable to live underwater. Then, why does the high priest try all his best to return Lantisde to the continent?”
Even though she was complaining, Gina stood up again after sitting on the altar for a while. However, she didn’t try to touch the ground directly this time. Instead, she tore a portion of her seaweed skirt off and made two things that resembled straw shoes.
After Gina put the straw shoes on her feet awkwardly, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the sand.
Gina could feel the steamy, hot air surge from the ground crazily the moment she left the altar. She felt as if she was in an oven, and it made her uncomfortable. Fortunately, now that she was wearing her straw shoes, the ground didn’t feel as hot as before, so it was still tolerable to her.
Oh no! I feel the water content in my body is going to be gone soon, and there is no water element in this place. I have to return to the altar before I become a sun-dried fish. Gina moved in tiny steps and swung her arms rapidly as she moved forward. The distance between every step was only 10 centimeters. She resembled a penguin that was trying its best to run. Although the frequency of her steps was high, the speed... was indeed no different from a penguin’s.
Even though she had started her training of splitting her tail into legs and walking since she was young, the sensation of walking on land and walking in water were totally different.
That was one small step for Gina, but one giant leap for Merfolk.
After Gina’s constant struggles, she finally climbed up the 30-meter-tall sand dune half an hour later.
It was still sand behind all this sand... Are we really coming back to this desolate place? The sweaty Gina gazed out to the desert, but she didn’t see a single living soul. She sat on the ground weakly and disappointedly before she quickly jumped up again. She patted her butt rapidly as she felt she was almost roasted alive.
No way. I have to go back to the teleportation portal to replenish my water content. Gina walked toward the altar below weakly. Dehydration made her very weak, so she spent almost half an hour before she got back to the teleportation portal.
Gina slouched over the teleportation portal feebly, and whined, “Mommy... I miss home... The continent is too scary... I almost became a dried salted fish...”
She took out a big water bag from a space distorting bag and began to gulp down the water. She finally put down the water bag after drinking for five minutes. She heaved a long breath as she felt she came back to life again.
“It’s fortunate that the high priest gave me a huge bag of seawater, or else I would have died of thirst here. The water in this bag could fill a big pool, and should last me for a period of time. If there is no more water left, then I will have to return to the sea,” Gina talked to herself. She got up and walked around the teleportation portal as she looked at the hot desert with a lingering fear. This was definitely not that location in the scene.
No, I have to find the Chosen One as soon as possible. Lantisde is still waiting for me! Gina’s gaze became determined as she pressed the teleportation stone into the center of the teleportation portal’s groove.
A golden beam lit up and Gina disappeared from the teleportation portal, leaving behind a water bag.
“Aiyayaya!!! My water...!”
A scream of deep despair sounded in another space.
