The Atlantis Adventure

Chapter 8 "The Stone of Water (Part 1)"

As the four of them saw the words on the paper gone, they took out their own five-colored stones. Centering on Ilovien's round five-colored stone, they placed three angular five-colored stones around it. This made the four five-colored stones form a complete triangle. They saw that this triangle floated in the air and began to rotate rapidly, projecting a circular pattern on the ground, which showed a sea map. On the map, there was a pointed end on the left. Seeing this sea map, Ilovien shouted immediately: "Charlie, quickly turn the bow to the left." Charlie heard this and hurriedly turned the ship to the west. Ilovien controlled the five-colored stones and came to the cabin. Seeing that the pointed end was facing forward, he said to Charlie: "It's okay. This is the direction." 

The group had been sailing for several days. When they saw a blue light ahead, they decided to go over. As soon as they got close, they realized that this blue light covered an area of about ten miles. It was actually a barrier. The barrier itself was also emitting a blue light. On the edge of the barrier, there was a stone tablet, inscribed with the words, "The Secret Realm of Water, The Weak Water is Impossible to Cross." 

When everyone saw this, they began to discuss among themselves. "What is weak water?" Mike suddenly asked. "Weak water means that nothing can float on it." Smart Eva said. "Then what should we do?" Charlie asked. "I have an idea," said Ilovien, who had been silent all along. "What's the idea? Come on and tell us." "Do you still remember that old bottle? That bottle could hold all kinds of things. Why don't I use this bottle to put the boat in? This bottle is not ordinary. It can fly in the sky and I can control it to move." 

After saying that, Ilovin took out the bottle, placed it horizontally on the water surface, used his supernatural ability to enlarge the bottle, and then put the boat inside the bottle. He controlled the bottle to enter the barrier, but unexpectedly, the bottle passed through the barrier effortlessly. After entering the barrier, they headed towards the blue light. Along the way, they saw many monster beasts, either octopuses or turtles, or strange fish. But the four of them were protected by the holy bottle, so there were no monster beasts close enough to approach them. 

After a while, they arrived at an island. In the middle was that blue light. Ilofin put away his purification bottle and the four of them climbed onto the island together. As soon as they landed, the blue light shot up into the sky, and a chorus of wolf howls erupted on the island. 

Everyone headed towards the forest on the island. They saw Ilovin drawing his bow and preparing an arrow, Charlie pulling out his short knife, Eva concentrating on her flying knife, and Mike holding a steel staff. As they entered the forest, a wolf rushed towards them. Ilovin shot an arrow, and Eva's flying knife struck it, but this wolf was not an ordinary creature; it was an evil beast. 

Previously, one arrow could kill a wolf. But this time, it merely left a wound on the wolf's body. The flying knife only made a shallow mark on the wolf's skin. Charlie rushed over and used a short knife to slash at the wolf. The wolf rolled to the side and dodged, then made a powerful dash. Just then, Ilofin pulled the bow and shot an arrow at the wolf's eyes, shouting loudly: "Everyone attack its eyes and stomach." Ilofin shot another arrow, piercing it in the eye. Eva threw a knife and made a hole in the wolf's abdomen. Mike used a blunt instrument, which couldn't penetrate the wolf's body. Blunt instruments are designed to strike hard areas, so Mike rushed to the wolf's side and struck with a mace, causing the wolf to go blind for a moment. Then Charlie poked it from beneath its body, piercing its heart and killing it with one stab. When Charlie stood up, he complained: "Mike, next time can you be more careful? Don't slash the monster onto me like this." "OK, I'll be more careful next time." Mike said. 

Several people continued walking forward. Suddenly, they heard some footsteps in front of them. So they crouched down. They saw a huge lizard ahead, with a height of more than half a person and a length of five or six meters. Ilofen shot an arrow, which stuck in the lizard's neck. Immediately, a red light burst out from the lizard's neck, and blood spurted out. Charlie inserted a short knife into the lizard's wound and forcefully pulled it, breaking the lizard's trachea. The lizard immediately lost its breath. 

They continued to walk towards that blue light column, and the journey to find the eight-colored stone would undoubtedly involve many hardships.
