Chapter 801
Lush trees and bushes covered the cordillera, the leaves were so dense that they shadowed the sky. The place was blanketed with miasma and mists, and with the casting shadows, it felt like walking in the night.
Andrius and company had a difficult time going through the jungle but fortunately, the group was excited since they already had a clear target.
They tread across the bushes and ventured deep into the dark jungle without knowing tiredness or
voicing a single complaint.
When Andrius was drenched in his own sweat, they finally arrived at the lake.
The beautiful view of the lake was amazing. It was like a mirror that reflected the sky on the ground and the jaw–dropping view left everyone astonished.
“Dr. Leach, is the temple in the center of the lake?”
Andrius‘ thoughts drifted away for a moment as he stared at the lake’s surface.
When he was further away, he did not feel anything, but when he looked at the massive lake up close, he realized it was difficult to locate the temple without the precise location.
“Yes.” Kelvin nodded affirmatively and added, “I saw the temple in this lake back then. It’s just a glimpse but I am certain.”
Andrius nodded. His concerns were rest assured. His next priority would be to locate the temple, and to do that, he had to solve the problem with the compass.
After tuning and adjusting the compass for half a day, the compass that looked older than Kelvin finally returned to normal. It was able to point in the correct direction.
Beep!
When Kelvin started to tinker with it, the compass spun rapidly and finally pointed in a certain direction He quickly recorded the directions shown by the compass.
Then, he moved several hundred meters to the side and used the compass again.
He repeated the process three to four times and each time, the compass pointed in the same direction.
Kelvin said affirmatively, “The temple should be underneath this spot.”
Andrius rested to recover his strength while Kelvin fixed the compass and located the temple. He glanced at the spot and said, “I’ll go down to have a look.”
“Wolf King!” Kelvin hurriedly explained, “The temple is the holy ground of the Murrfield. If there are still heirs inside, they might react fiercely to your arrival. They might be hostile towards you and they might hurt or even kill you. Let me come with you.”
Andrius pondered for a moment and realized Kelvin was right. “Okay.”
Halle got nervous after hearing Kelvin. “Andrius, if it’s that dangerous, I’m coming with you as well.”
Andrius frowned. “This dive is full of uncertainties Even I can’t do anything if something goes wrong. I don’t have 100% confidence as well. My fate is up in the air. You agreed to listen to me before we came
here.”
Halle pouted. She refused to simply accept Andrius‘ command.
Andrius sighed. “Just stay up here. There’s no need for you to go down.”
Then, together with Kelvin, he equipped himself with diving gear.
Noir, Halle, and the others stayed behind.
The underwater view was different from what Andrius expected. The water was clear, and the fishes swam in schools, playing and chasing each other.
It was like a whole new world underwater.
Gulp!
Gulp!
After diving for a while, Andrius heard noises from ahead. He exchanged a quick look with Kelvin and decided to swim towards the source.
Around ten minutes later, a structure that resembled a temple appeared before their eyes. It looked damaged and aged, but it remained grand and majestic with a hint of mystery and archaic.
