Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 560 - 499: Gem Shell and Missed Opportunity (4000)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

At the clearing by the pond, a giant frog, covered in moss, fungi, and branches resembling a small hill, crouched there, constantly spitting out large, fiery red, arrow-like tongues into the air.

In the midair, an illusory large bird, crackling with electric light, flashed repeatedly at lightning speed. To outsiders, each dodge seemed incredibly thrilling, but for it, it was still effortless.

Screech—

It even had the leisure to occasionally let out mocking cries at the large frog on the ground, driving the so-called "Frog God" into a furious rage.

Frogs as creatures cannot see stationary objects clearly but are very sensitive to fast-moving objects. Clearly, regardless of its exaggerated size, its essence was still that of a demonized frog and not a "god"!

At this moment.

After the "Frog God," which had been in deep sleep for ten years in the "Frog Cry Forest," reawakened, Aiven had the toy soldiers take the twenty kidnapped girls to escape from the forest from a side far from Kunsai City, following the adventure team. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He then used the newly acquired extraordinary longsword [Thunder Fang] to summon this Lightning Spirit "Thunderbird" from the Spirit Realm, dragging Olivia to hide.

Although Aiven was quite interested in the ability to fulfill human wishes, he remained cautious because the being in question had the title of "god." He decided to probe first before doing anything else.

The new extraordinary weapon [Thunder Fang] did not disappoint him either.

In terms of absolute strength, this "Thunderbird" was far inferior to the formidable "Frog God," but speed was its forte. With its remarkably agile maneuvering, it easily captured the giant frog's attention.

The five green-robes, bound like caterpillars, were left on the spot, with no energy to concern themselves with them for the time being. Using others' lives to fulfill one's desires, after all, those weren't decent people, so they were simply left there to fend for themselves.

Even the green robes who had received the "Frog God's" gifts had limited understanding of this deity, including the old man who made a wish thirty years ago. Aiven still pieced together some intelligence about the "Frog God."

Through Olivia's [Cat's Eye Stone: Mind Domination], they extracted everything known from them.

In essence, this "Frog God" had very low wisdom, and apart from fulfilling their wishes or demanding beautiful unmarried women as sacrifices, most of the time, its behavior was more like that of a real frog.

If he hadn't killed all the "Divine Envoys" and rescued those Frog God "brides," he might be able to fulfill a wish that did not exceed the opponent's ability from it by kneeling devoutly when it awoke.

However, the significance of the red fir is: luck, new life, strength, and the justice of protection!

Even the "Queen and Goddess of Navigation," as a True God, was not worthy of his kneeling, so how could a giant frog be?

"But, my recent wish has actually come true, and our luck has indeed been great during this time."

Standing beside Aiven, watching the scene in front, Olivia couldn't take her eyes off and nodded subconsciously:

"Yes, indeed great."

Aiven raised the [Thunder Fang] in his hand, the dim light on the bone blade illuminating the cylindrical underground space they were in.

All around were steep cyan-white rock walls, like they were cut with a knife, and at the bottom was a clear blue pool.

The two adventurers with professional knowledge recognized this unique landform: "natural well." Even in the Spirit Realm near Olivia's beacon anchor ground, "Chichen Itza Pyramid," this peculiar landform was widespread.

Because this land was mainly composed of limestone and coral rock, through millions of years of geological change, the rock layers were corroded by groundwater into varying sizes of cavities, forming numerous caves and underground rivers.

When the sea level depth aligns with the groundwater level, these caves fill with freshwater, forming clear blue pools.

Subsequently, as the top rock layer of the caves is continuously corroded, it becomes increasingly thin, and once it completely collapses, it allows light into these dark caves, ultimately forming various "natural wells."

The top rock layer of this natural well they were in hadn't been entirely corroded yet, remaining a semi-closed space.

After Aiven discovered this vertical underground shaft using [Low-pressure Pulse], they escaped here through a Shadow Realm crack activated by Kaka [Black Cavity].

At this moment.

Under the illumination of the light emitted by [Thunder Fang], near the water surface portion of the cave bottom, a vast area of colorful shell organisms with a shell surface radiating a dazzling gemstone luster, continuously opened and closed their shells, ingesting plankton and other unidentified substances from the water.

"Are these Gem Shells? How beautiful!"

Olivia's eyes turned into little stars, transforming into a golden shining river of stars, practically more dazzling than the extraordinary weapon in Aiven's hand.

Previously, Aiven found several referential biological symbionts from the all-encompassing biology book "Flesh Sacrifice," including crystal coral worms, large pearl clams, amber tortoise shells, and these Gem Shells.

The first stop had very good luck.

Swirl...

Aiven acted directly, as the water flow swept a mass of at least a hundred sparkling Gem Shells into the brass box he fetched out.

Within the toy box's integrated Alchemy Workshop, which was similar to the "Witchcraft Garden" only Upper-Rank Wizards could possess, it could accommodate living creatures, making it perfect for nurturing these small-sized Gem Shells.
