"Really?"
Ethan looked up.
Sure enough, he saw the prompt.
[Hint: The chest is located at the heart of the goblin statue!]
Bzz~
"Lord, what do we do now?", Charlie naturally could also "see" that the water had already reached chest level. Worried, he said, "Should we blow up the statue? But the magic bean seeds are very small. If we destroy the statue, we might damage the seeds..."
"No need to make it that complicated."
Ethan reached upward.
"Level 3 Spatial Gate!"
Crack!
The next moment... Ethan felt something hard.
After pulling it out through the Spatial Gate by force, he discovered that what he'd grabbed was actually... a "mummified goblin"?
'Again!'
"Level 3 Spatial Gate!"
A large rock.
'Again!'
"Level 3 Spatial Gate!"
A huge black object. No idea what it was.
'Again.'
"Level 3 Spatial Gate!"
Then...
A palm-sized golden chest appeared before Ethan.
His eyes lit up.
"Finally found it!"
He quickly opened the treasure chest.
Besides three tiny seeds, there was actually also a letter and a scroll inside.
[Collect!]
[Magic Bean Seeds +10]
[Skill Book: Water Dragon Spell +1]
[Letter from the Goblin Ancestor +1]
'A skill book?'
'That is an unexpected bonus.'
Although Ethan was very interested in the Water Dragon Spell skill book, his top priority was to check the magic bean seeds and get out of this damned place first.
[Magic Bean Seeds: Throw them into the ground, then pour in a large amount of water. However much water there is, that's how tall the magic bean will grow. If you throw one into a river, the magic bean can even drain the entire river dry.]
[P.S.: Fairy tales are all lies. Once the magic bean grows out of the ground, if you don't jump onto it immediately... then... hehe, there's a good chance you'll end up as a pile of mush after falling from the sky. As for the world in the heavens, if you want to try going there, no one's going to stop you.]
After reading the description of the magic bean seeds, Ethan laughed.
If the magic bean seeds had required spirit stones or some other materials, he would've had a headache.
But these magic beans were surprisingly considerate.
All they wanted was water.
And right now, there was one thing they had no shortage of, water.
After obtaining the treasure chest, Ethan quickly walked out of the Magic Bean Temple and shouted to Bird One and the others flying overhead, "Get ready! I'm about to plant a bean. The moment you see it sprout, don't hesitate. Grab onto the vine immediately, understand?"
"Plant a bean?"
Bird One and the others were all stunned.
At a critical moment like this, instead of looking for an escape route... the Lord was planning to plant beans?
"We have to trust the Lord!"
"Understood, Lord!"
Although everyone found Ethan's actions very strange, they all nodded in agreement.
However... the moment Ethan threw the three magic bean seeds onto the ground...
The ordinary-looking beans instantly sank into the water, and then...
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three enormous bean vines burst out of the water in an instant.
The vines were like an endless Hungry Snake, shooting rapidly toward the sky.
They were climbing even faster than a rocket launching.
Ethan hadn't even had time to react.
The bean vines had already grown nearly twenty meters tall and showed no sign of stopping.
"Quick, get on the vines!"
Ethan shouted. Without wasting a second, he activated his Lord's Domain and Blinked directly onto one of the vines.
Bird One and the others quickly flew toward the vines.
They first threw Daji onto one of the vines, then each flew over and grabbed tightly onto the vines, riding the rising vines upward like an elevator.
But... they were less than ten seconds slower than Ethan.
Yet the distance between them had already become dozens of meters, nearly a hundred meters in height.
Ethan couldn't even talk to the Birdfolk team because they couldn't hear him.
After all, nearly a hundred meters was about the height of a thirty-story building.
Because of that... Ethan could only communicate with them through the magic book.
["Hurry and climb the vines. Don't fly, or the vines will leave you behind. Just keep climbing the vines."]
["I don't know how long these vines can keep growing, or how high they'll reach."]
["But you'd better stay close to me!"]
["If something dangerous happens later, it'll be easier for me to help!"]
"Yes, Lord!"
Bird One and the others acknowledged the order and immediately began climbing up the vines.
Meanwhile, Ethan jumped down.
At a time like this, it was best for everyone to stay together.
"Charlie, make a prediction."
Ethan didn't waste words and immediately gave Charlie the order.
After a few bursts of static, Charlie finally replied, "Ten seconds left!"
Ethan asked, "Ten seconds until what?"
"We break through the ceiling," Charlie replied, "But the moment the vines break through, they'll immediately hit the spatial turbulence above the Gray Ore Mining Area, and we'll all..."
"Die."
