The Elf Journey In The Western Fantasy World-Chapter 148: Dynamite Exposure

Meanwhile, Eoryun was starting to feel that his luck on this journey had been almost ridiculously good—especially at this exact moment.

The route he had chosen was the right one.

As long as he stayed on this narrow path, no attacks would land directly on him.

At most, there’d be a few grazing blows.

After all, there was no way he could have made it through unscathed in such a densely packed magic trap zone.

This path wasn’t very long. Before long, Eoryun had reached the end and now stood at the entrance to the Cold Pool.

At that moment, no more attacks came near him—not even a stray stone flying through the air.

It was probably because the entrance to the Cold Pool didn’t have any attack magic arrays set up.

After all, unless one looked closely, it was difficult to notice that the previous magical traps had actually followed a pattern.

Regardless of the reason, he had arrived at his destination quite safely. Now, all that was left was to give the agreed-upon signal and verify the identity of the Ice Flower.

Hopefully, the Ice Flower wouldn’t disappoint him.

If it did... he honestly wasn’t sure he could take that kind of disappointment again. fгeewebnovёl.com

The Cold Pool lived up to its name—it was so cold that Eoryun didn’t even know how to describe it properly.

If he absolutely had to choose a few words, they would be nothing more elaborate than the painfully simple "so cold" or "extremely cold."

No matter how many fancy words he tried to string together, they were completely useless in this moment.

They simply couldn’t capture his true feelings.

Eoryun truly hadn’t expected the Cold Pool to be this cold.

Thankfully, he had made thorough preparations before setting out.

For example, he had stuffed his spatial bracelet with clothes for all four seasons, bottles of purified water, all sorts of weapons and scrolls, and various foods preserved through time magic... and so on.

Because of this level of preparedness, he could now calmly pull out a thick winter coat and put it on without hesitation.

The moment he slipped it on, he felt like he had transitioned from the dead of winter into the early days of spring. His fingers, which had been stiff and half-frozen, gradually regained mobility.

The Cold Pool was also not the size he had imagined.

It turned out the term "Cold Pool" was meant in the most literal sense.

The cave housing the Cold Pool was quite small, with the pool occupying two-thirds of the space.

After stepping into the cave and walking just a short distance, one would reach the edge of the water.

Eoryun didn’t concern himself with those details, though. From the moment he entered, his eyes had been fixed on the Ice Flower, which was drifting freely on the Cold Pool’s surface—with its flowerpot.

The sight was bizarre enough that even the well-traveled Eoryun was left momentarily speechless.

The Ice Flower was a terrestrial plant.

Although it required icy environments to survive, the Cold Pool was very clearly a body of water, right? Was it really okay to place a land-dwelling plant directly into water like this? What was even more baffling was that not only was this land-based plant somehow surviving on the water’s surface—it was floating along with its flowerpot.

Seriously, it was so weird. It was almost impossible to imagine what a potted plant drifting around in a pool would look like—and yet that was exactly what he was seeing right in front of him.

Fortunately, his reason still held, and he didn’t do something like turn around and leave on the spot.

Instead, he quietly moved forward a short distance while instinctively lowering his presence, not making the slightest sound.

His goal was to keep the Ice Flower who is currently immersed in its own world completely unaware that someone had arrived.

In truth, the Ice Flower had long grown accustomed to people coming and going around here.

At first, it used to glance over curiously whenever someone passed by, but eventually, it couldn’t even be bothered to look.

After all, those people only ever came to replace its mana stones—there really wasn’t anything worth paying attention to.

And so, Eoryun’s arrival didn’t raise the Ice Flower’s attention in the slightest.

Eoryun crouched by the edge of the pool and observed the Ice Flower’s current state.

Then, at the moment it appeared most relaxed and unsuspecting, he suddenly sang, "Cause I, I, I’m in the stars tonight."

"So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight" the Ice Flower blurted out instinctively.

The unfamiliar voice echoed through the cave and an awkward tension quickly spread through the air.

The source of the voice—the Ice Flower—froze completely. What had it just said? Had it really just spoken out loud?

But wait—why was there a stranger here at all?! Why was there an unfamiliar presence in this place?!

And worse, that stranger had sing some BTS song—was someone sent here specifically to test him?!

Help, help, help! Had he just accidentally exposed that he wasn’t magical plant? That he was actually a human?! No—wait—what exactly had he revealed?!

Was this the end for him?!

The Ice Flower howled silently in its heart, the whole plant trembling internally.

All sorts of dreadful thoughts were circling through its mind, repeating scenarios of how this poor flower might be tortured or dismantled by bad people.

Externally, this turmoil was represented by one simple fact: the Ice Flower, which had previously been drifting freely on the surface of the Cold Pool with its flowerpot, suddenly stopped moving entirely.

Its petals didn’t even tremble and not even the cold breeze passing through the cave could make it sway.

Eoryun, suspecting he might be right, decided to probe again—just to be sure.

"Shining through the city with a little funk and soul."

"So I’ma light it up like dynamite, woah-oh-oh!"

The Ice Flower instinctively responded.

Damn it! His DNA had reacted before his brain could stop it—again!
