Chapter 38: The Monster Disappeared Mysteriously
Liz brought Welsh back to the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Liz looked at Welsh with a serious expression. “How could you be so reckless? You actually went into the water to fight with that beast. Don’t you know how dangerous this is?”
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. The distance between the two of them grew closer and closer until her face was pressed against Welsh’s chest.
On the other side, Welsh was taking off his clothes while listening to Liz’s incessant chatter.
“If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain this to Emily when I go back? Such a huge monster, and it’s still underwater… how dangerous…”
Liz’s voice suddenly stopped, Welsh turned his head around curiously to see what exactly had happened.
But he saw Liz standing there, staring at him with her two eyes. She was staring at his chest muscles that were exposed because he took off his coat.
After Welsh transmigrated, he deeply felt the weakness of this body. So in order to prevent Wendy’s incident from happening again, he also began to exercise every day.
The chest muscles on his chest were just beginning to take shape, which was absolutely attractive to women.
Seeing Liz’s reaction, Welsh could not help but laugh. Then, he began to answer her previous question, “I was trying to contain the panic. If the disappearance was linked to the monster, it would cause a huge panic. This kind of panic, even if it did not erupt in the beginning, when we explore the depths of the rainforest, something terrible will happen.”
With that, Welsh continued to take off the rest of his clothes, preparing to change into clean ones.
Liz, who was on the side, saw Welsh put his hand on the edge of his underwear. How could she not know what he was going to do. Her face immediately turned red. She quickly put down the towel in her hand and walked quickly to the door.
Welsh looked up and shook his head with a smile. Then, he began to take off his close-fitting clothes.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure at the door suddenly stop. Welsh also stopped what he was doing.
“Thank you…”
Just as he was feeling strange, the voice at the door suddenly said softly.
After saying that, the figure started to move again.
Welsh was stunned for a moment, then he realized that she was talking about saving her sister.
“It’s okay.”
After saying that, Welsh didn’t care if the other party heard him or not. He turned around and started changing his clothes again.
…
After changing his clothes, Welsh went straight to the restaurant. When he saw everyone staring at him with a burning gaze, he felt his scalp go numb.
Therefore, he quickly changed the topic. “That fish, why didn’t you fish it up for the Chef to cook? It’s rare for a fish to grow to such a big size. It might taste good…”
“No…”
Hearing Welsh’s words, everyone expressed their refusal with a long ‘no’.
There was even someone who stood up and said to him, “This fish is so fierce. I guess the missing person was eaten by it. I don’t want to eat a fish that has eaten people before…”
“Yes…”
Everyone immediately agreed.
Welsh shrugged his shoulders and didn’t insist when he saw no one wanted to eat this fish.
After his meal, Welsh returned to his room again. This time, he didn’t train straight away. Instead, he took out all the medicinal herbs that the Orianna Family had collected for him.
He found a grass that looked like a goose’s paw and immediately put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
He had been feeling a little uneasy these past few days, so he decided to eat these herbs ahead of time, ahead of his upgrading time.
When he found the blood orchid, he could directly swallow the blood orchid, greatly saving the time needed to upgrade.
When he upgraded to the level of a junior mage, he was confident that he could handle any accidents that might happen.
“Rumble…”
Just as he swallowed the medicinal herbs in his hand and entered meditation, a muffled sound came from the sky outside.
“Pitter-patter…”
After a while, the sound of rain came from outside again.
The next morning, Welsh was still the first to head to the canteen as usual.
As he passed by the deck, Welsh remembered that the rain had started yesterday, so he deliberately looked at the river outside.
He was delighted to find that the water level in the river seemed to have risen enough for the ship to pass through.
But when his eyes swept across the river, he was stunned.
The big fish was gone!
He hurried to the other deck to see if the fish had been washed away by the river.
But he didn’t see the big fish on the other side. He only saw a broken wooden stick four or five meters away from the ship.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the harpoon that Welsh had used to kill the fish yesterday. However, the sharp spike on the harpoon had been broken by something, leaving only a bare wooden stick floating on the muddy river surface.
One had to know that the wood used to make the harpoon was very hard. The big fish had struggled so intensely yesterday, but it didn’t break. It was broken now… And it looked like it was forcefully broken by a huge force.
A thought immediately appeared in Welsh’s mind.
There must be a bigger and more dangerous beast under the water than the big fish!!!
At this moment, he even felt there was a pair of cold eyes staring at him and the others at all times.
Thinking of this, Welsh immediately wanted to go back and tell everyone his guess.
But halfway through, he turned to the captain’s cabin.
He told the captain that the water level had risen and the ship was ready to sail. He asked the captain to set off immediately to the depths of the Borneo rainforest.
The captain was also a little surprised by Welsh’s decision. He asked why he was so anxious all of a sudden.
Welsh did not tell her about his guess. He just told her with a serious face that time was pressing. It was better to set off now than later.
The captain looked at Welsh’s serious face and thought of how brave this man was yesterday. She was a little flustered for a moment, then she quickly started the power of the ship and set off toward the depths of Borneo.
Seeing the ship gradually set off, Welsh finally let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
The reason why he didn’t tell anyone that there might be more dangerous giant beasts underwater was that he was afraid of causing a large-scale panic that would cause the operation to stop before it even started.
If they missed the blooming period of the blood orchid, Emily’s mother would really be hopeless.
When everyone woke up and saw that the ship was no longer where it was, they were all stunned for a moment. However, after being mercenaries for a long time, they quickly realized that they had set off early in order to rush the time.
After coming to their senses, they pretended that nothing had happened and went to wash up and eat according to their usual routine.
The next day, under the full speed of the ship, they finally arrived at a place suitable for the growth of the blood orchid.
However, the last few miles were on land, so the ship could not sail. They could only get off the ship, put on their equipment and walk on land.
