As we dove past the ghost fire, I found that it was a water lantern with some kind of fluorescent ore inside.

It was a very small water lantern hanging on a chain that must have been placed about eleven or twelve meters down from the water’s surface. I looked down and noticed even more chains beneath it, strung up on both sides of the underwater cliffs. It was exactly the same as what I had seen under Changbai Mountain.

We couldn’t go too far free diving, but Pampered Guy looked at the nearby cliff and saw an underwater cave.

The water lantern must have been left by Poker-Face to guide us there.

The chains led right into the three-meter-wide cave, so we grabbed them and snuck in. After entering, I discovered that the chains extended all the way into the cave and seemed to be guide chains. It was completely dark inside, the water temperature was very low, and the current felt as if it would pierce us to the bone.

Pampered Guy’s water lantern could barely light more than a meter ahead. After waiting for a moment, he quickly dove in and I unhesitatingly followed closely behind. He went in about six or seven meters, and then suddenly stuck to the cave ceiling, causing his whole upper body to look like it was embedded.

I also went up, only to find that there were some air holes in the cave’s ceiling. After kicking forward a few more times, my head broke through the water’s surface.

The air hole was as big as a car and when Pampered Guy lifted the lantern out of the water, he found that the rock walls here were wet, and there were many rattan frames on the side with strange stones inside.

“Oh, so this kind of stone is here. No wonder there’s oxygen all year round.” Pampered Guy climbed up, and I quickly followed. Once he raised the water lantern, I could see many primitive carvings on the rock walls of this air-bubble cave. “These were carved by the Yi people’s ancestors when they first discovered this place. They thought that such caves were excavated by mountain gods, so they carved totems. Look at how neat the marks are carved here; they really did make all these.”

I was panting as I approached him. I had completely regained my senses and wanted to question him, but I felt suffocated and couldn’t seem to catch my breath.

Pampered Guy looked at me and smiled, “Why bother? I had so many opportunities to get rid of you along the way. Aren’t you embarrassed to follow me so shamelessly?”

“Shut—shut—shut up!” I stuttered out.

Pampered Guy ignored me as he looked at the cave wall in admiration: “It’s really right this time.” With that said, he jumped into the water again.

I immediately wanted to catch up with him, but before I did, I gave myself a few blows to the chest, inhaled a mouthful of air, and jumped down.

Pampered Guy was still waiting for me underwater and hadn’t left me behind. He watched me come down, made a “come on” gesture, and then carried the lantern and swam forward.

This guy was more organized, disciplined, and responsible than Poker-Face, and I said to myself, damn, Poker-Face really is scum when it comes to organizational discipline.

We passed two more air holes along the way, and then saw a light in front of us. We breached the surface and found that we had come out in a huge, deep pool. I tried to open my eyes a few times as I floated there, but the sun was too bright.

Once I had adapted, I looked up and saw that we were in a bowl-shaped pool of water. There were large trees on the surrounding cliffs that were lush and green, and this huge pool was in the middle. There were a few multi-storied buildings placed on stilts around the pool, but these were much more extravagant than the ones outside. The tiled roofs, colored glaze decorations, and pillars were all constructed from large wood that had been painted red.

The whole area was sunny, the scenery was dream-like, and the area was completely enclosed. It would be impossible to know of its existence without a satellite. These sorcerers had really found a good place.

“Blow the whistle and see where Big Brother Zhang is.” Pampered Guy said to me.

I blew my whistle and immediately heard a response come from the top of a multi-storied building. When we looked around, we saw Big Brother Zhang standing up there, pointing in one direction.

There were stone steps where you could go up the cliff wall, and at this time, I found that there were a lot of reliefs on the walls. A strange face had been engraved, and it looked like a mask.

*******

You all probably don’t care, but for some reason, the author started putting “I” instead of I. Considering he didn’t do it for all the previous chapters in this extra, I thought it was stupid and didn’t either lol. Just know, Wu Xie is still hallucinating in Snake Ancestor’s body and none of these actions are his. Also cracking up at how mean Wu Xie is being to Poker-face in his head. Must’ve been a LONG 10 years ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧
