Chapter 700

At the bottom of the lake Christina was trying to take the Scepter out.

She swam deeper and deeper almost out of her breath. Her hands struggled to pull out the shiny

Scepter and her feet kicked the stone to borrow some push-off power.

The Scepter seemed to be firmly embedded in the lake bottom. Christina struggled so hard that her

face turned red. She almost fainted for out of oxygen. As she was about to give up and to jump out

of the water, the Scepter seemed to get pulled out. The lake sand became loosening.

There was no time for a relief. The Scepter burst into dazzling light. Opposing forces suddenly

dragged Christina to the bottom. The force was so strong that she couldn't resist.

The lake surface began to quake strongly and waves rippled in circles. The lake started bubbling as

if it was boiled. All these foreboded something terrible.

Christina was terrified. She was compelled to let go of the Scepter. A strong suction made her and

the shining Scepter disappear. At that moment, she seemed to hear Patrick's anxious voice coming

from the lake surface.

She didn't know what had happened to Patrick and others. She was only aware that she had choked

the water a few times. Her head was heavy and uncomfortable. She instinctively stretched out hands

and swam out of the water.

Finally Christina jumped out of the water exhaustedly, splashing water about. She drank in great

gulps of fresh air and slowly opened her eyes. The vision was blurry. The first thing she felt was a

stream of fragrance, which strangely eased her mind. She also heard the sound of surf.

After a while, she recovered a clear sight.

Christina was still immersed in the water, leaning on the shore. She held tightly the Scepter with her

right hand. Although the sun had already set, the shining Scepter lighted up the darkness. She was

stunned by the surroundings.

It was the Great Waterfall

In front of her, there was the majestic Great Waterfall. From a hundred meters high mountains, huge

water rushed down to the ground. Then it diverted into streams and joint to a lucid and beautiful

lake.

Christina was soaking in the lake under the waterfall, which they had been looking for.

This lake connected two worlds.

Christina was excited. She wanted to share this information with Patrick and other friends

immediately, so she tried to swim back to the lake bottom to find them.

All of sudden the shadow of something white appeared. It was that white tiger. At the sight of the

roaring tiger, she held her breath and quickly climbed onto shore.

The white tiger got angry because Christina had violated its territory. Its responsibility was to

protect the lake from any creatures.

The tiger's roar creeped Christina out.

It wasn't afraid of water and good at swimming. It climbed ashore and unhappily shook its wet fur a

few times. A pair of terrifying eyes stared fiercely towards her, as if it was thinking about how to bite

her to death.

Christina didn't want to die or dare to look at the monster. On the left side of the waterfall, there

was a towering ancient tree. She had no choice but to climb the tree on all fours.

Of course, she couldn't run against a tiger. So she climbed the tree as high as possible with her

mind utterly complicated.

Drying its fur, the white tiger looked majestic. It raised its head and ran fiercely towards her. Hearing

the sound of running, Christina completely lost her nerve.

The white tiger lunged at her with its sharp claws piercing into the bark. In a couple of leaps, the

tiger climbed up and roared at Christina who was right upon.

Maybe it was due to its large size or the slippery moss, the tiger's swollen body slid down in no

time.

Christina looked at that cranky tiger and breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it couldn't climb up, she would be safe up on the tree

The moment the off-chance idea came to her mind, the monster started to hit the tree with its huge

body. Suddenly she slipped and fell half a meter. The tail of the Scepter pierced into the tree, which

luckily saved her life.

Seeing that she was hanging in the air, the angry tiger continued to hit the old tree harder. Christina

clutched the Scepter tightly and found a stepping place. She slowly balanced herself and hugged

the tree with her left hand. No matter what, she could not fall.

After a long confrontation, the animal seemed to get tired. It roared angrily at her, seeming to say

that if you dared to come down, I would bite you to death in no second.

Christina was scared badly. She hated this smart white tiger.

She was really afraid of it, so she climbed two meters higher and sat on a strong branch, dangling

her feet in the air to challenge the beast.

The white tiger gritted its teeth and roared fiercely.

Now the night fell. A full moon gradually emerged from the great waterfall.

The moonlight was extremely bright tonight. Mountains surrounding, the beautiful lake caused by

the waterfall was as crystal as a mirror. On the surface of the water, there was the reflection of the

moon. The red moon was hung in the dark sky

Christina was awed by this valley. She looked at the waterfall. The sound of the water was loud

enough to cover up any shouting. Over there, she felt that something was calling her

However, now she couldn't do anything.

She thought that if she jumped into the lake, she might be able to find Patrick and tell them

everything here. The Great Waterfall was right here.

But she was trapped on this big tree with the white tiger squatting below. She was drenched,

hungry and tired She was so scared and didn't know what to do.

Patrick's fellows saw that she hadn't emerged from the depths for so long. They believed that

Patrick would look for her in the lake, but they hadn't appeared.

It was a long night, Christina wasn't sure if it was an illusion. She felt warm in the valley. Even she

was all drenched, she did not feel cold or stuffy. It was very comfortable to be here.

It seemed that some magical power created a sense of tranquility

Even the cranky monster was smoothed and squatted calmly.

At this moment, a five-meter-long python wreathed on the tree still. The snake wore the same

pattern and dark green as the tree trunk.
