Chapter 573 The ancient weapon
The moment the elites dipped their feet inside the water , they noticed their stamina bars depleting very quickly however their exp bars rising equally fast.
If one played their cards right and kept refilling their stamina bars by drinking potions , they could potentially level up within minutes inside the mysterious water.
Rudra took full advantage of this opportunity , as he kept drinking stamina potions to supplement his stamina bar , while his exp bar kept rising.
However he clearly noticed that with every subsequent level up , the effects of the water reduced , as the stamina burn up rate was lower and so was the the exp increase rate.
5 elites lined up as they had their legs dipped inside a massive indoor pool of water , as they chugged stamina potions and talked about life untill a few hours later everyone had levelled up about 8 times with Rudra levelling up five times.
With this level up Rudra finally reached level 240 the threshold required for him to reach tier 4 , and this made him very happy , as he had been physically too exhausted to fight anymore in the short run.
However after his fifth level up he could see that the burn up of stamina was slower than a snail with only 1% being consumed every minute , which meant that he could attempt to swim inside the pool and reach the secret room or atleast safely come back while trying.
Hence , asking the others to send him flying into the air , so that he could take a momentum rich dive inside the pool , Rudra was flung into the air as he folded his hands into namaste and dove right into the water.
SPLASH.
Falling with momentum , his body felt a breath of freshness as the special water entered all orifices of his body .
Swimming towards the bottom , Rudra tried his best to locate the entrance to the tunnel , however right as he reached the halfway point , the eyes of truth revealed some very important information about the glowing plants below.
[ Divine Water Ivy ] ( divine ) : A plant lost in time that only grows in clear lakes .
Any Lake that it grows in will become water rich in experience , whose consumption or even external contact will give a great experience.
However it is poisonous to consume in itself and will drain one of its stamina .
The effects reduce overtime.
[ Note : it sends out a resonant frequency that attracts monsters to itself , as the monster that will consume this plant has the potential to become the next monster lord ]
Very important information about about the secret of the military base was uncovered by Rudra , as his greed wanted him to take this plant back with him to Purplehaze city , which made Rudra forget about the tunnel for a while as he swam to the bottom of the lake first , and carefully dug out 3 of the 17 glowing plants and placed them in a glass jar and stored them in inventory.
However by this point he was out of breath and drained of stamina as he rushed towards the surface , letting the boyant force of water help him as he returned back out and took in a gasp of fresh air.
" Any luck ? " Karna asked eagerly , however Rudra only shook his head as he came back out and said " I went for the plants first , going back in for the tunnel later ".
Karna had already located the tunnel with his mind eyes so he said '' I got this one boss ". As he jumped into the water and started to swim towards the entrance of the tunnel.
The tunnel entrance was barely 3 feet in diameter and was invisible to the naked eye from the outside due to refraction of light occuring inside the water.
However once inside the narrow tunnel , it was a sort of uphill climb as karna was soon able to pop his head outside the level of water , as he found himself in a narrow tunnel of sorts.
Swimming for about 15 more minutes he finally found a door which he assumed was the entrance to the secret room of the facility.
There was a thick door blocking his way and Karna had no idea how to open it , however after looking around for a bit there was a small mechanism at the side of the door over whom ancient runic characters were written
Understanding nothing , karna punched on the mechanism and broke the damn thing , and with the mechanism broken the door also opened .
Water and Karna were gushed inside the opening door as karna plopped around like a fish out of water inside the massive secret room .
However once he had a good look around in the room , he had no doubt in his mind that this was a testing lab for some evil scientist.
Creatures cut half open were suspended in pods full of mirky liquid and various materials and crystals which karna could not even identify were lying around in the room alongwith various blueprints and metals.
Rudra's instructions were clear on such situations , which were " Steal everything ". Hence Karna began stuffing his inventory with everything he could lay his hands on and even stuff that he could not understand was stolen.
One remarkable invention that Karna discovered was the
[ Anti Rhino Strong Ballistse ] , a device meant to deal a rhinoceros beast tide.
It shot 21 strong arrows at once in a straight linear trajectory with extreme power , enough to pierce rhino hide.
However that discovery did not even remotely compare to the grand prize , the blueprint that Karna found stashed in a very fancy container made of high grade titanium .
The blueprint to mass produce an ancient weapon that could completely change the coming direction of war , the blueprint for the weapon ' Handheld pulse cannon ! '.
