System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 188 Ch 188: The Lake & Trees

No matter which direction he looked, he could only see the dense forest. Not to mention other terrains, he couldn't even see mountains anywhere.

The area of this forest was really large and strange, giving Alex a feeling of being trapped in an illusion. However, if it was really an illusion, the system must have detected it and he would have noticed. However, the system didn't prompt. In this case, there must be a problem with the space inside this building.

"Hmm? What is that? "

It was at this moment, that Alex surprisingly saw a ball of grey mist floating towards him at a very fast speed.

An inexplicable grey mist appeared and Alex immediately retracted the aura on his body and quickly hid between dense leaves of short plants. He started waiting for the grey mist to approach. Strange things could be seen everywhere inside this building, so it was best to figure out what that grey mist was before deciding what to do.

Very quickly, the grey mist reached Alex's head. At this distance, Alex finally saw the grey mist clearly. However, when he looked, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The grey mist was not some mist actually. Instead, it was a group of grey bees the size of a human head. The reason why they looked like grey mist was purely because of the large amount of spirit energy surrounding them. Every one of these bees was as strong as a Martial King Stage martial warrior.

With just a glance, he could tell that there were at least more than a thousand bees in this group. Alex was very confident in his own strength, but no matter how confident he was, he didn't think that he would have the strength to fight against so many bees, each strong enough to defeat a Peak Martial King Stage martial warrior.

There is a saying that a single ant might not be able to harm an elephant, however, a group of ants could bite an elephant to death. This saying perfectly suited the current situation Alex was in. However, no matter how he looked at it, he still find the appearance of this group of bees very strange. There must be something fishy about these bees appearing in such a large number even though the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch was swallowing all the creatures inside the building.

Alex was no longer cultivating spirit energy, what he was cultivating is Chaos Energy. And when he completely retracted his aura, no bee was able to sense Alex.

Not being able to sense Alex, the group of bees didn't linger around and quickly flew over his head. This caused Alex to be unable to help but heave a sigh of relief. If these guys were to get entangled, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to continue exploring the building and had to escape with all his strength.

After a long while, after confirming that the bees had left, Alex finally started moving deeper into the forest. Seeing even more strange things happening made Alex even more curious about the building.

Alex continued to roam inside the forest for more than three hours. It was at this moment a different situation occurred in front of him. He saw a lake filled with green water not far from him. This lake was very big, about five hundred meters long and three hundred meters wide. The water in the lake was very clear, to the point where Alex could clearly see the bottom of the lake from the edge. There were no signs of living things moving around in the water.

There was a small lump of ground in the middle of the lake. There were three tall trees growing on that small lump of ground. These three trees were not thick, but they were very long. Their height should have reached more than 80 meters.

These three trees seemed to be making a triangular shape together. Other than the three tall trees, there was no grass or whatever growing on that small ground in the middle of the lake. The ground was very clean as if someone has always been taking care of that small land.

The three trees were very strange. They were completely red in color. Whether it was the leaves, tree roots, or even the surrounding land, everything was blood-red. Even if there was no smell of blood in the air, Alex could still smell a very strong smell of blood from the ground and trees even though he was so far away.

What is going on? Is it an Illusion?

Alex frowned. For a moment, he couldn't understand what is going on.

It was at this moment, that he heard the voice of mother Light Devouring Beast. She said: "I can sense it. Yes, this is it. That is the place where Source Crystals are located!"

"What? Can you say it more specifically?" Alex asked.

She said: "Those trees, there is a secret door in the middle of those three trees. Source Crystals are located on the other side of the secret door. I can sense it. It is just that, I don't think opening that secret door is easy."

"Also, that small red land is giving me a very ominous feeling. You should be extremely careful. Well, it is not like I care. As long as you die, my daughter will regain her freedom."

Alex's mouth twitched when he heard these words. He opened his mouth to say something but no word came out of his mouth. In the end, he closed his mouth and didn't say anything. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Then he tried to look at the three trees by using the System, wanting to know more about them.

As expected, the Replication System didn't disappoint him.

[Name: Passage To Homeland of Guardians of Tomorrow (Destroyed)!

Details: The Tribe Of Tomorrow that gave birth to many generations of protectors of the Stone of Tomorrow hid their homeland when they were creating the maze to trap all the people who dares to enter the maze in order to obtain the Stone of Tomorrow. The key that could open the gate where Stone of Tomorrow is hidden could be found here.

Note: If you want to enter the Homeland of Guardians of Tomorrow, you have to bleed first. Quench the thirst of trees for blood and you can enter the Homeland of Tomorrow!]

Alex was really surprised. He didn't expect to find another clue about the Stone of Tomorrow here. All he has to do is to bleed some blood and he could obtain the key.

Maybe, the Blue Monarch failed to obtain the Stone Of Tomorrow only because he didn't have that key that is hidden here.

He looked at the red land in the middle of the lake and another status panel appeared in front of his eyes.

[A very small part of the mountain where Tribe Of Tomorrow used to exist. This land has absorbed an astronomical amount of blood of the members of Tribe of Tomorrow. Thus, the leader of Tribe Of Tomorrow used this land to create a hidden passage.

Note: The moment a person steps on this land, he'll be cursed and will be trapped there. That person can no longer leave that small land.

Only a member of Tribe of Tomorrow would not be cursed.

If you don't want to be cursed, dive deep inside the lake and make perfect use of what you'll find there!]

Alex frowned. When he first looked at the three trees and come to know that the homeland of guardians of Tomorrow is hidden here, he immediately wanted to go there, open the passage by bleeding a little, and enter. However, now he doesn't want to go there immediately. He could not help but curse in his heart. The tribe of Tomorrow has really created dangers every step inside the maze. This building alone has so many dangers that Alex no longer wanted to stay inside the building at all.

But he knew that he has to get his hand on the key hidden somewhere in the homeland of guardians of tomorrow. And to do that, he has to step on that red land in the middle of the lake.

Fortunately, the system told Alex a way out. He immediately decided to dive deep inside the lake.

According to the system, he'll find something deep inside the lake. If he could make perfect use of that thing, he'll no longer be cursed.

Thinking of this, Alex no longer hesitated and immediately jumped inside the lake.

Lake's water was very cold. The moment Alex jumped, he immediately shuddered. But he knew he has to endure.

Taking a deep breath, he started diving inside the lake. From the edge, he was able to see the depth of the lake easily. From there, he didn't find the depth too deep. However, now that he wanted to go to the lake's depth, he found it extremely difficult. Moreover, he could no longer see the lake's depth at all.
