Chapter 36: The Green Elixir Generator

"When I merged with the lake water, I sensed an unusual surge of magic, probably at the center of the lake, buried under the sediment. Unfortunately, I was too weak at the time and couldn't investigate further. If you're interested, you can dive in and explore; there might be an opportunity. But be careful not to die—your friend, War Hammer."

Hmm...

An unusual magical disturbance? Are you sure it's not some water monster lurking at the lake bottom? Even though he had been fishing by the lake for a few days and hadn't noticed anything unusual, he couldn't rule out the presence of a dormant or hidden lake creature. What if he went underwater, and suddenly a tentacle shot out from the mud and sand, coiled around him, and dragged him into its maw? That would be a mysterious death. After all, his current bee-type couldn't function underwater. If he went in, he'd be just an ordinary person with no combat abilities. Forget tentacles; even a water snake could chase him around. But he was curious; the strange phenomenon was right in front of him, and anyone would want to explore it.

"Anyway, be cautious and find a safe way to investigate. By the way, even though I don't have magic, I can use Earth technology, like an underwater drone..."

Hua Mi started formulating a plan but didn't dwell on it. The priority was helping War Hammer escape. She hadn't left immediately; she had taken significant risks to provide him with a Heart of Enlightenment that could stabilize the production of green elixir, showing her loyalty.

Hua Mi picked up her composite bow and the arrow mark given to her by the White-Skinned Elf, going outside to shoot it into the sky.

Swoosh!

The arrow shot up into the night sky, creating ripples in the air, just like tossing a pebble onto a calm water surface. The phenomenon passed in an instant.

Hua Mi returned to her wooden house to wait, conspiring with the seven pseudo-flower spirits. These childlike spirits were more than willing to help her put on a show.

In a matter of minutes, a strong wind outside began howling, rustling the treetops. The wind stopped abruptly at the door. Then, the wooden door was pushed open with a loud clang, revealing Sindra.

She still exuded the same elegance and grace, her figure and features practically perfect, as if she were a creation of the divine. She didn't seem to be out of breath or affected by the wind. She entered the room, noticing the Bee Whisperer sitting on the floor with his hood covering his face.

However, she could feel the heavy atmosphere surrounding him. The seven pseudo-flower spirits surrounded him, their little faces filled with sorrow.

"Little Strong, you died so tragically!"

Sindra's gaze fell to the floor in front of him, where the skeleton of a fish lay.

Bam!

The Bee Whisperer slammed his fist on the floor, looking at the fishbone with a sorrowful expression. "That monster ate my Little Strong raw! It's too brutal!"

The seven little spirits came to comfort him.

"Accept my condolences."

Hua Mi nodded and tried to persuade them gently, "Have you ever thought about adjusting your sleep schedule for fun, like sleeping during the day and being active at night?"

All seven spirits shook their heads in unison.

"No, no."

"The night is for sleeping."

"We can't sleep during the day."

Too bad. Hua Mi had considered hiring them to take turns keeping watch at night, allowing her to spend the night here in peace. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to take the night shift and were quite firm about it. So Hua Mi gave up and returned to Earth to rest.

The next day, Hua Mi went to the lakeside as usual to collect honey and fish. However, his mindset had changed since he learned about the anomaly beneath the lake. He was more alert, always watching the calm lake surface, as if he expected a tentacle to burst out at any moment, dragging him into the water.

"Don't worry. I have the Cut Ring Bees. Even if there really is a water monster, as long as it dares to come ashore, I can control the bee swarm to cut it to pieces."

Listening to the buzzing of the bee swarm, his sense of security gradually returned.

Today was his lucky day; he caught a fish. It was tiny, only five centimeters long, but it was the first fish he had caught on his own, and the sense of accomplishment far exceeded the one he felt when he caught the larger fish before.

"Finally, I've escaped the air force."

Hua Mi looked at the small fish swimming in the bucket, feeling immensely satisfied.

Now he understood why fisherman who caught fish might get lost. The more significant the catch, the longer they might be away, and they might wish to carry the fish around the Earth before heading home.

After a while, Xiao Zi suddenly flew to him and whispered that the White-Skinned Elf was approaching.

"Why is she back again? I hope she hasn't blamed me for not finding War Hammer and making false accusations. Although I did mislead her, she has no evidence to suspect me."

Hua Mi had many thoughts, but he remained composed on the surface, maintaining his fishing posture.

Sindra's footsteps were nearly soundless as she approached. She was already standing beside Hua Mi.
