Chapter 164: Arrival
This was a huge waterfall that stood in the middle of the ocean. There was no end to it on either side, and there was no end to it either. It was like a bottomless abyss, the end of the world.
Because of the existence of magic, there were many wonders that violated the laws of physics in the ocean of this world, such as waterfalls and slopes. It was even said that there were seas that flowed upstream, seas that floated in the air, and so on.
When they came near the waterfall in the sea, Heath controlled the Wizard s.h.i.+p to stop. Although the area of the waterfall in the sea was wide, the speed of the current was not fast.
Then, Heath adjusted the direction and slowly moved forward along the edge of the waterfall.
The size of his s.h.i.+p was small, and the suction force of the waterfall was relatively weak, so it was fine to move like this.
But the Catfish Whale could not do it.
With its size, once it came close to a certain area, it would be sucked into the waterfall in the sea. With such a huge waterfall, even the Catfish Whale would not be able to escape unscathed, right?
Everything was just as Heath had expected.
Although the Catfish Whale did not have much intelligence, it still had a sense of danger. The waterfall was considered a dangerous area in the Catfish Whale’s mind. Seeing that Heath was going over, it did not continue to chase after him.
It was like a cat catching a mouse. Most of the time, it was not for its stomach, but just for fun.
Heath let out a sigh of relief.
“The next step is to return to the correct route.”
From the chart, this waterfall stretched over a hundred miles. It crossed the sea area of sea beasts and the route signed between Wizards and the seafolk. As long as one followed the edge of the waterfall, they would be able to return to the route.
‘I hope there won’t be any more trouble!’
While praying silently in his heart, Heath controlled the Wizard s.h.i.+p to set off towards the south route.
As he walked forward, his line of sight couldn’t help but look at the waterfall in front of him.
Such a spectacular scene was definitely something he couldn’t see on Blue Star. Even in the Wizard World, it was rare.
In order to better observe this scene, Heath turned the Ghost Ring and summoned the Ghost Scout from the ring. He controlled the Ghost Scout to fly to the top of the waterfall and observe it down.
Standing at a high place, Heath could directly feel the enormous size of the waterfall.
The bottom could not be seen at all. It was like an endless abyss. After the seawater flowed here, it all fell down. Even the sound of the seawater falling to the ground could not be heard.
“I wonder what’s down here?”
There was not much information about this place. Heath only knew that this was a dangerous restricted area.
There were many places in the Wizard World that were filled with all kinds of dangers. Even if a Wizard entered, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed. This part of the area was designated as a dangerous area by the Wizards, and this was one of them.
This danger zone was called the ‘Great Fall’.
On the surface, it looked like a waterfall, but in reality, it was a circular water hole, a large pit. However, due to the area being too large, only a small portion of it could be seen.
‘This kind of place must be able to extract a lot of good things, right?’
This thought only flashed through his mind. This place was marked as a danger zone for high-level Wizards by the Wizards. Even many Dark Wizards who lived in the Dark Wizard region would not be able to reach this level… It was far beyond what he could touch at the moment.
“I’d better leave this place as soon as possible!”
Pulling back his thoughts, Heath’s mind returned to sailing.
…
Although he encountered some problems along the way, fortunately, they were all safe. After sailing along the edge of the waterfall for a few days, Heath finally returned to the correct route.
At this point, Heath could finally be completely at ease.
Before leaving this area of the sea, Heath stood on the deck and looked behind him.
Before going out to sea, he would never have thought that he would encounter so much trouble on an ordinary trip home. He had almost stepped into a dangerous situation.
This also reminded him that this world was very big. Even if he advanced to a Wizard, he was only a small part of it. He was far from being able to be arrogant and complacent.
“I’ve been too relaxed during this period of time…”
This experience wasn’t all bad.
Ever since he advanced to a Wizard, he had indeed been somewhat complacent. It was only because of his many years of self-discipline that he didn’t show it. However, if this continued, it would more or less affect his training.
With this experience, it could be considered as a wake-up call for him.
‘Work hard in your training. Sooner or later, you will return here and bring that d.a.m.n catfish to the hotpot.’
‘Even if it’s this abyss, I have to go down and see what’s going on!’
Heath silently encouraged himself in his heart.
…
Wizard s.h.i.+p, cabin.
Under the flickering flame, Heath was sorting out the gains from the previous two days.
Danger often coexisted with wealth. Although it was indeed a little dangerous this time, the final harvest was unexpectedly rich.
Heath had extracted more than 700 sea beasts in the Catfish Whale’s hunting ground. Most of them were rare sea beasts on the market, and each of them gave Heath a considerable bonus to his attributes.
In just those two hours, Heath’s spiritual power had increased by 3 points, and his other physical attributes had also increased by 2 points.
In addition, the life sequence and innate characteristics of these sea beasts were countless, greatly enriching Heath’s own database.
In addition, the most valuable parts of these sea beasts were also cut off by him. These rare species had a wide range of uses for Wizards’ experiments, so it was very easy to sell them for more than 100,000 Magic Stones.
“No wonder many Wizards like to go to the danger zone to adventure. The profit margin is indeed not bad…”
Compared to these visible profits, what made Heath more concerned was those invisible things —
[Elemental Law].
Closing his eyes, Heath entered his spiritual sea.
At this moment, there was a large section of strange knowledge in his consciousness. These were all knowledge and skills about the counteraction of elements.
“So that’s how it is. Is there such a rule movement between the counteraction of elements?”
“This is the Lorent arrangement mentioned in the book, right?”
“No wonder I always felt strange when I read this paragraph in the past. So that’s what it means…”
Soon, Heath sank into the study of spells.
These techniques and knowledge could not be learned by Wizards in books. Any Wizard could only rely on their own learning process to naturally comprehend them. Whether they could learn it or not depended on their own luck and opportunities. The value was simply impossible to measure.
However, these precious knowledge and techniques had been completely imprinted in Heath’s spiritual sea. He only needed to spend a little time to master them and he would be able to easily grasp the profoundness of them.
He believed that after these precious knowledge were completely integrated, his use of spells would definitely rise to a new level!
…
There were no more accidents in the following voyage. Heath followed the route obediently, cultivating, learning magic, reading books, and extracting the sea beasts he caught every day.
This kind of drifting continued for more than a month, and finally…
His destination had arrived.
